Wolflet, The Lunar Chronicles (Completed)

Chapter 9: Scarlet

A coffee table sat in the centre of the carpeted floor, holding up what was left of Scarlets neatly cut lemon cake along with crumbs of yellow frosting and porcelain plates. Comfy armchairs and worn small sofas sat in a rough circle around the oak table, perfect for conversation. Scarlet sat snuggled against Wolf on an old, red mini-sofa facing away from the kitchen, his arm around her shoulders and Scarlets hand on his knee. To their left, Jacin and Winter sat on a deep blue canapé surrounded by cushions and blankets. Winter sat with her legs tucked under her and her head resting on Jacins broad shoulders as he jently toyed with a strand of Winters frizzy hair. Emily and Iko sat on the heated floor to their right, a plate of cake in front of them as Iko expertly braided Emilys curls into a complex pattern, giggling at eachothers jokes all the while maintaining conversation with the others. Opposite Wolf and Scar sat Thorne, Cress in his lap, grinning as he made everyone smile and laugh, turning Cress into a blushing mess as he traced idle patterns down her back. Sitting cross legged between Wincin and Cresswell sat Kai and Cinder, cross legged on the soft carpet, hands interlaced as they watched their already talking little boy go around, chatting to anyone he found. The Rampion crew were united once again, and they couldn't be having more fun.

Scarlet was amazed by how her friends had changed and grew to have formed such intricate relationships. They were all at least 20 now and it felt like time had flown passed without warning. They were all chatting, giggling and telling the others about their adventures around the world. Winter and Jacin had gone to see wild birds and lions in Farafrah, that had been repopulated since Cinders reign. Thorne had taken Cress to the peak of a mountain so that she could see snow for the first time and Cinder, Kai and Iko were going to meetings with world leaders around the Solar System. It was so exciting to see them all at once again.

After the baby names were repeated around a thousand times, the stories were shared and Scarlet congratulated. Before the cake had come, as a joke, Thorne had sung happy birthday and they all had a slice (Wolf may have had 3) piled high with ice-cream.

The crew were staying over for the week and for once Scarlet wasn't nervous at all at having guests. Kai and Cinder would sleep on one large sofa, Thorne and Cress on the other, while Jacin and Winter took the little guest bedroom. A cot was set up for Zack and plump matresses for Iko and Emily.

They all stayed up until one in the morning, Iko complaining about how she couldn't taste and dancing to the music all night long, eating cake and laughing more than she ever had before.
