Fires Collided

I went over to an empty bistro and Marigold had to show up with er annoying ass."What happened to your boyfriend?Finally understood what a trash you are?"I nodded with a smile."Yeah...Yeah he did.Good for him.Now please leave me alone because I hate you?"She rolled her eyes."No.In fact this gives me joy."Who else enjoys torturing me?Oh I know.Ralph."You know Marigold?You and Ralph are made for each other.He hates me.You hate me.He loves torturing me.You love that too.He's so fucking annoying.You too.Match made in heaven don't you think hun?"I was being sarcastic but the bitch took it seriously."Yeah...we are a match made in heaven.Finally a sentence that makes sense out of your mouth."Then she left."I was being-Nevermind."

Then at the ball I see someone that shouldn't be there.I go over to him subtly."What the hell are you doing here James?"He rolled his ees and sighed."I don't want to be here."I scoffed."Uh...then why are you here?Just answer the questi-"Then his mother came."How lovely!You already found a dance partner.Go on you two.Dance."Then she basically pushed us to the dance floor.But I went back to her."I'm sorry.But as far as I could tell James has a girlfriend whom he loves very much."She nodded."Oh I know.I love Mel too.But it's going to end eventually.We're looking for someone permanent like..you maybe."I laughed."So,so very nice of you to think that James could actually handle me.He can't.Besides I don't like him that way.He's like a brother to me."

"Sure hun.I believe you."I rolled my eyes."Uh...no you don't.I just got out of a long relatioship.I'm not looking for someone permenent.I'm just here to please my grandparents.See you later in school James.Send my love to Mel will you?"He nodded and I walked away.While I was walking away I saw all four of my dragons sitting at the open window.I walked through the crowd and got them on my arms and shoulders.I went back to my bistro after that."I thought you guys were staying in the carriage."Babette sighed."I know.But we just wanted to watch for a small while.We never thought you'd be sulking around like that."I rolled my eyes."Please.I don't sulk."They gave me that one look.Ugh!I hate that look.

While I was talking Phoenix and his wife came over.His wife grabbed Babette and he grabbed Hector.I got the babies before they could get to them."Don't you even dare Fern!Don't you even!"Phoenix laughed."Or what?You'll burn my arm again?"I let go of the babies and turned into my flame form."How about the whole body?Are you up for that bastard?How about I start with your not so pretty wife?"I touched her nose and she screamed and let go of Babette."Get them and leave."Babette left with the kids and Hector was still here.I started walking towards Phoenix and with every step to the back we ended up in the middle of the dance floor."Hector is a part of my family.You mess with my family.And I won't hold back.Do you understand?Because I won't repeat myself Phoenix.I most certainly won't.So let go of Hector before I do something I will enjoy so.Fucking.Much."He let go of Hector and he flew away.

"Trying to get my family out of the community?I can stay calm.Try to kill me?I can keep my voice down.But hurt my family and you're done for Fern!Consider yourself lucky!"Then I made eye contact with Ralph."Keep his leash tight next time."I turned back to my human form.I looked around before I walked out of that door."AT LEAST I'M NOT BACKING UP SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO KILL A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL BECAUSE SHE CLOSED A DEBATE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES AND NONE OF YOU COULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!YOU ARE ALL JUST BUNCH OF COWARDS WHO FEELS LIKE THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FOLLOW A HALF ASS LEADER LIKE BOY LIKE PHOENIX FERN!AND YES I SAID BOY BECAUSE NO REAL MAN WOULD ACT THE WAY HE DOES!I THOUGHT MY FATHER WAS A FUCKER.GUESS THERE ARE WORSE PEOPLE!ENJOY YOUR FUCKING BALL FUCKERS!"

With my middle finger on the air I left.But I was still on fire.I calmed down before I got in that carriage.And just as I suspected when I entered the room bunny was there.I let him in."Hey there."I got him on me."I'm sorry."I placed him on the ground."I just hoped you'd actually have the courage Ralph."Then he turned into his human form."How did you-"I chuckled."2+2=4 Ralph.It took me some time but I figured it out.And guessing you are that bunny you do know a lot about me."His hand went to his neck.He was nervous."I'm not going to ask for an explanation Ralph.Or for you to leave.I don't want to be alone anyways.Just give me a few minutes."Then the window was knocked.The dragon family has arrived."What took you guys so long?I gave them a friggin lecture in there."I got them on ly arms and shoulders.I walked them to their cage and placed them on their bed one by one."I'm sorry guys.I'm sorry I let Phoenix got to you four."I kissed them all one by one.

After I locked the cage I turned to Ralph."Give me a minute."I grabbed my pjs from my closet and went to the bathroom.I changed into my pjs.Brushed my teeth and took my pills before I went back."I won't spend another minute in that dress.Even though I look fabulous."I was talking to the dragons.So Ralph didn't understand.Then I turned to Ralph.Sit down on the couch or the desk if you want.I'll be back."I got to the door."Oh and lock the door.If Alex sses you it won't be pretty."I left.

Uh...what is she doing?I locked the door as she told me to.Then I looked around her room freely.Then ı noticed the bouquet of roses I left here the first time I came here.They lost a few shades but they were looking in pretty good shape.I turned to her dragons.Blue,red,purple and black.Pretty good collection.And the way she protected them tonight was actually admirable.I turned to her nightstand and saw the immortal rose I sent.She keeps it.She came back with bunch of chocolate tablets in her hand and I couldn't help but notice the jewlery I got her."You still wear them?"She put the chocolates on her bed."Huh?""The ring and the bracelet?You still wear them?"She nodded."I never take them off.Now!The important question?Caramel or not?You have to say not because I love caramel when it's mixed with chocolate."She gave me the plain chocolate tablet to me and sat on her bed."What am I supposed to do?"She tapped the place next to her on the bed."Not like you haven't been in my bed before.Though you were a bunny back then."She's confusing.
