To Be in Starlight

Eggshell or Moonlight?

"Maria? Maria are you here?" Aaron whispered. He slowly tiptoed over into a dark corner.

"Oh Aaron!" Maria squealed throwing her arms around him emerging out of the shadows. "How I've missed you!" She said still holding onto him. He pushed her off. "Can't say the same" he grunted.

"Your just saying that Cupcake" she purred. A nickname?  Oh how Aaron dreaded coming here. Should he run? No it's to late. He's already here.

"I came here to give you a second chance" he said, scanning the area to see if anyone's near them. "What do you mean?" She asked him.

"Even though what you did at the stadium was unforgivable" he shuddered at the thought of her lips on his. "You didn't deserve punishment as harsh as Lucinda instructed" he explained.

"Hmm though I love the sentiment, what exactly is your plan here. You know what Lucinda said if you contacted me" she gasped. "What if we're meant to be lovers and your risking everything just to marry me?" She squeaked.

He groaned. Oh this is going to be much harder than he anticipated. "Shhh!" He commanded. "Sorry" she said. "Meet me here again at 2:00" he instructed. "Gotcha see you here tomorrow" she whispered going back into the shadows.

"What have I done?" Aaron asked himself.

"Mija what color did you think I should pick for my wedding dress? Eggshell or Moonlight?" She asked dancing around the room.

"I don't know Mom, whichever one you like best." She said in a monotone voice, picking at the ribbons on the invitation cards. She immediately stopped dancing. "Mija what's wrong? She asked.

"It's nothing, just tired." She smiled trying to make it convincing. "I just never knew there were so many cake flavors" she fake said cheerily.

"Hmm ok. Well if that's it, wait till you see the cake that Erik is picking up! It's to die for!" She squealed. "I bet it is mom, I bet it is" she laughed.

But it was more than trying 14 different cake flavors. Aphmau had this sinking feeling in her stomach of what Aaron was up too. Maybe Kim was right, maybe Aaron's just planning a surprise for her. Or maybe not. She pushed the thought out of her mind and decided to focus on the task at hand. Eggshell or Moonlight?

"Honestly Darling, I still don't have a clue why you made us come with you. For such a big bad witch you seem to love our company" Ghost said inspecting her nails. Kim nodded. "I agree with Ghost. Lucinda you've been moody ever since he incident at the stadium."

"You know what they say, witches are bitche-" Lucinda looked back and glared at Ghost. "Witches are BEAUTIFUL. Yeah beautiful that's it" Ghost said nervously.

"Nice save" Lucinda huffed.  "I could've sworn Aaron would've been here" Lucinda said puzzled. "Where even is here?" Kim asked.
"The end of Starlights first island. Usually this is where they pick up the garbage. No one comes here because it's so dark and deserted" Lucinda answered examining the ground.

"I can see why. Who would want to be here" Ghost shuddered. "That's what I want to know" Lucinda said brushing off her knees. "Look" she instructed. She held out her hand which had a very small clump of red and black werewolf hair. "And who do we know who has red and black fur?" She asked.

Kim squeaked. "Aaron's better than that!" She defended. "He knew the deal" Lucinda snapped. "Hold on hold on, this only shows that Aaron was here. He might have been alone" Ghost stated. "Kim what time is it?" Lucinda asked impatiently. "3:06 Why?" She wondered.

"Aphmau came to us around 1:30. It takes 20 minutes to get here. Which leaves 10 minutes before it becomes exactly 3:00. And it took us about 6 minutes to investigate" Lucinda stated quite proud of herself. Kim just looked at her. "How could you possibly figure that out?" Kim asked.

"A witch doesn't reveal her secrets" she said slyly. "Isn't it a magician who doesn't reveal their secrets?" Ghost said. "A witch doesn't reveal her secrets!" She snapped. "We're coming back here tomorrow, I wanna see if he comes back here." Lucinda said. "Ugh Must we darling? I was looking forward to tanning tomorrows " Ghost complained. "We're going" she stated.

"Kawaii~Chan!" Zane shouted sweeping the remains of the broken door. "What is it Zane~Kun?" She asked. He put the broom down and pulled out an envelope. "Open it" he said.

"O-Kay?" She said, doing as he asked. When she finished tearing the seal, she looked inside and saw it was her ticket to Starlight. She began to squeal and jumped up and down. Zane laughed as he saw her reaction.

"I can finally see Aphmau~Senpai and Aaron~Kun without having to lurk!" She squealed in excitement. Zane chuckled. "I still think its funny that you ship stuff" Zane chuckled. Kawaii~Chan stopped jumping and squealing. "Shipping stuff isn't funny Zane~Kun!" She squeaked. He stopped laughing. "But I mean, it's not like that stuff can actually happen. You can only hope" he said bluntly.

"If that's how you see it then I guess the person I ship myself with and I aren't compatible." She  said angrily. She stormed out of the room after that.

"The person I ship myself with? I was the one she was talking to.." Zane realized who she was talking about. He ran down the hall chasing after Kawaii~Chan.
