I fumbled around my room with my hair wrapped up in a towel. Zoey's screams followed my every move. "Are you done yet?" She whined throwing her arms around in frustration. Rolling my eyes I took my brown oversized hoodie out of my washed pile- that I would like to say was neatly put away inside my closet... but I simply never found the time.

"Are you really going to keep tailing me around my whole room like a little lost puppy" I looked at her dumbfounded. She looked up at me and then at the ground again in a sad manner obviously believing that this made her look very 'cute'.

"Alright, alright get out my room let me change I'll meet you in the kitchen" I pushed her out the door using as much of my force as possible.

I paired the hoodie with some black leggings and walked out my room nearly tripping over the lump on the floor that actually turned out to be Zoey lying on the floor in fetal position. She looked up at me with a crooked yet pained smile. One arm embraced her stomach while the other was dramatically raised towards me. I closed my eyes hoping that maybe if I pretended that I can't see her she will disappear.

Grabbing the apron that was hung under the shelves I began making the hungry 'infant's' pancakes. I really don't understand how she watches me make these pancakes everyday but yet fails to make them for herself. While waiting for the pancakes to turn golden brown I checked up on the spirits, and Reina my wolf.

"Ardere stop kicking me" Cora sat on Reina's head while Ardere was trying his best to kick her off,

"Don't make me throw water on you! you little stupid fireball" Cora glared at Ardere with her hand glowing with blue light.

"Do that and I'll burn your pretty little face" Ardere smiled revealing his fangs, sometimes it seems like they are flirting more than fighting.

"WE CAN HEAR YOU!" they both screamed in unison sending me sharp glares. Their anger towards me soon transmitted onto each other- Cora started to kick Ardere multiple times which was simply answered with a grin, causing her to rage even more.

"Okay! both of you knock it off" Erde broke the two up with the help of Corentin who shyly pulled Cora away from Ardere.

"What have I told you two about constantly fighting whilst around sleeping Reina, she already has to put up with you two the whole night asking her questions about this and that! she doesn't need your constant bickering" Cora and Ardere's fights always seem to end with Erde scolding them. I guess you can say since she's the oldest spirit out of them all she took on a motherly role.

"Are the pancakes done yet" My link between the spirits weakened from Zoey's interruption. I smiled at her gloomy face and placed a small stack of pancakes in front of her covered with strawberries and her favourite chocolate syrup.

Taking a few pancakes for myself I sat next to her.

"Di how do your spirits look?" Zoey look at me with a fork in her mouth, her words came out as mumbles.

I stopped cutting into my pancakes and looked at her in utter disbelief, "I've told you so many times now, have you got a memory problem or something?".

"It's just they sound so magical I can't get enough of it... I wish I was an elemental" She looked away from my eyes and started playing around with the last pieces of pancakes on her plate in an almost nervous manner.

My eyes softened at her childishness a small smile replaced my confused frown.

"Well lets begin with the oldest, there's Erde she's my earth spirit. She has long brown wavy hair- she usually braids them with little flower accessories. Like most earth spirits she has pointy ears and whenever she gets mad the tips of them go bright red. Her skin is tanned and filled with small freckles." I glanced at Zoey- her eyes had lit up almost as if she could see little Erde right in front of her hazel eyes.

"Okay do Corentin next!" She nodded aggressively,

"Corentin? She's the shyest one out of all my spirits, her pale skin is always flushed making her always look blushed. She has a long blonde fringe covering her eyes, usually causing her to bump into my wolf every now and then. She has beautiful eyes it's a shame she covers them, they are the most beautiful shade of blue" I chuckled thinking about Corentin's small body accidentally bumping into Reina my wolf.

"She sounds so cute" her eyes almost looked as if they were sparkling pushing me to continue.

"Who's next? Ardere... my fire spirit. He's got quite unnatural looking fiery red hair but I guess my spirits themselves would seem quite unnatural. He's even tanner than Erde his complexion making him look south Asian. His eyes being the same shade of his hair made him truly resemble what he was, one of the best fire spirits out there. He always has a set of goggles set on the top of his head, he uses it to shield his eyes whenever his fire gets too powerful. I can't lie I'm pretty sure Ardere has a crush on Cora" I giggled thinking about their constant bickering.

"Spirits can fall in love?!" Zoey looked at me bewildered.

"Well yes spirits have their own world, when I don't need them they usually stay with Reina for a bit and then go slip off to the spirit world for as long as I don't need them, they have their own lives they fall in love, get married, have kids and also like us die one day" I looked down at my pancakes at the memory of my previous spirits a small smile spread across my face as I remembered their smiling faces.

"OH MY GOD MY NEW SHIP IS GOING TO BE ARDERE AND CORA" Zoey squealed,

I couldn't help but laugh at her excitement, the thought of my spirits being happy and having a long life made me happy. I wasn't going to let these spirits of mine die.

"DESCRIBE CORA TO ME" Zoey squealed placing both her hands together and looking up at me,

"Cora... she's very beautiful just like my other spirits. She has long wavy hair that's both blonde and blue it's quite a weird mix but still very beautiful. She usually has a little dark blue headband placed on her head. Her eyes are a pastel yellow almost like the sun. However unlike her element she isn't as calm as you would think she has quite the short temper guess you could describe her using the word tsunami" I nodded pleased with my description of Cora.

"They all sound so cool, I wonder how Ardere and Cora's babies would look" she tilted her head to the side trying to imagine the two spirits combined, her imagination period was cut short by a yawning Adrien.

"Morning babe" He gave her a light peck on the cheek and snatched her last pancake and stuffing it in his face.

Oh no I thought I should probably get out of here before Zoey starts attacking him. I quickly grabbed my car keys and made a run for the door not ready to watch the world war 3 that for some reason occurs daily in my household.
