So... Douxie and I decided to call a meeting with two groups. The first, so we can explain things to the Trollhunters. Yes, that means Toby, Jim, Claire, and anyone else they decide to bring. As far as... Trolls or Changelings... (Do they even know any changelings?)

The first group should be arriving at 5:30-- that's in half an hour. The second group includes Mary, Darci, Shannon, Lauri, and maybe Aja? I don't know, that depends on if they invite her. And they should arrive at about six o'clock. I sigh, feeling my hands trembling as I prepare food in the kitchen.

Jake's locked himself in his room for the rest of the day. Especially since we have company coming over. I carefully cut up the cake into slices, my hands shaking. Frick, I'm super nervous.

Douxie walks into the room, coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist. His chin rests upon my shoulder and I try to focus on what I'm doing.

"Everything alright, love?" He hums in my ear.

"Fine. Everything's fine. Perfectly fine."

"Um, well considering that you just said 'fine', like, three times, I think it's safe to say that something's bugging you."

I shiver as his arms hug me a bit tighter.

"What's up?" He asks.

"I'm just... Nervous. It's been over six-hundred years since I've told anyone the truth about me. And now, not only are we going to tell people about our pasts, but we're telling the current Trollhunter and his team."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. It's been a long time for me too."

I huff a breath and put down the knife. I turn around in Douxie's arms and look deep into his eyes.

"I can't help but wonder what happens next. This is gonna be hard for me, Douxie. The last person I told, well, they couldn't accept it. Disappeared, that's what happened to them."

"Hey..." He lifts my chin and smiles.

"It's not going to be like that, ok? These guys deal with this sort of stuff everyday."

"I know, I know... And then I wonder how many questions Mary's gonna have for us afterwards."

"That, now, I am also worried about."

We both laugh softly as a knock sounds at the front door. I run my fingers through my hair and kiss Douxie quickly on the lips. This allows me to slip out of his grasp. He watches me walk out of the kitchen with a dreamy gaze upon his face, one that I can't get over, either.

I chuckle under my breath and go to get the front door. Upon opening it, I find the Trollhunters waiting on my front steps. I give a weak sauce smile and wave at them.

"Hey guys..." I hum.

"Arya." Claire gruffs.

Sheesh. Seems like she's mad.

"Come... on in."

They walk in and look around my living room.

"Whoa, didn't realize you had a nice place like this." Toby mumbles.
