Maxwell nodded. "Well, the only way to get used to it is do it again...besides i'm thinking of going to see My Mum after this...to make up with her and i was hoping you might come with me?" He said happy she hadn't moved. "But you're important to me too and I wouldn't just sit here... To her slapping him a little. "I'm just playing, She'll understand.."

Ariana Looked at everyone "well this is awkward. uhmm well thank you i guess.."

"Ohh Hii Justin."She said as her face lit up seeing him. she kissed him back and blushed after words, she had never kissed in front of an audience. "thank you, but i really dont look that nice, I just finished a mile run! i really should go change."

Millie was taken back a bit when one of the young boys kissed her niece. "OHH, I didnt know you two were THAT close." she said with wide eyes.

" You look good in anything.." he smiled. Then he saw the look on her aunt's face.... Total Shock. " Alright you go ahead." he said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Then he turned to address her aunt...." Ummm.... Well, I would have thought she told you of me..." he said with a nervous giggle. " Otherwise I would've restrained myself until I had Introduced myself properly."

Ariana looked over at her aunt who didnt look too amused "right i'll be righttt back" she said before slipping off to Millie's room to change

"No, No. It seems like she dosent tell me anything anymore she said with her arms crossed now. "but im not blaming you, she should of told me."

Minerva laughed and took his hands into hers. "Well thank you for the thought, but I think we will be okay, she hasn't done it yet and Justin just kissed her and he is still breathing." She couldn't believe Justin kissed her in front of everyone, but that was Justin. "Sure I would love to go over with you if you want me to. If your making up with her does that mean we can go to New York again?" She was hoping that wasn't to eager about going to the States, but she knew he would be that excited at the thought as well.

"So what reason would I have to start breaking them now?" He smiled, brushing a strand of hair away from her face.

Ariana Came out a few minutes later wear an outfit her aunt picked out, something she would never be caught DEAD in but it was either that or the sweaty clothes she just ran in none the less she came out "Are you kidding me Millie do i really have to wear this!?" she asked not amused

Millie looked over At Ariana "Ohh you look cute Ariana And Im Sure your Boyfriend agrees." she said putting empasis on the word boyfriend

Maxwell smiled, he loved the feeling of her hand in his. "Yeah I guess not, she seems not to notice us." He said smiling. "Yeah I would hope so, I mean i still have to go to the party since i already wrote my dad telling him we'd be staying there. But We don't have to stay there all break." He said just as excited to see the states again.

Justin stepped up just as Millie said what she did... " She's right, Ari.... You look absolutely amazing. He said as he kinda half stared half drooled alittle.

Minerva smiled "I think there cute together, maybe not as cute as us, but still cute." She laughed jokingly. She looked over to her two friends and just shook her head, who would have thought those to would be perfect for each other. "Well we have a few weeks for break, so we probably could do both, but I will have to see Leelee and Edward as well. That reminds me, Justin's mom was having trouble in her marriage and will be moving in with Leelee and Edward, so Justin will be living there at some points, I hope that's okay." She wasn't sure how he would feel about her and Justin living in the same house, but it wasn't like they didn't before when her family was in hiding that one summer.

Ariana shuddered and hid behind the couch "i hate it." she snapped at everyone in the room.

Justin followed her behind the couch..." Ariana, you look great... Come on just come out from behind here and enjoy yourself.... It is your birthday party." he whispered into her ear as he knelt down beside her.

Ariana Pouted as she shook the bracelets on her wrist " I look like a girly girl."

Minerva looked behind the couch she was sitting on and saw Ariana hiding. She moved around still sitting on Maxwell's lap and laughed a bit, "Ariana, it's your birthday and you look find, get out here or I might just have to practice that nice spell you taught me a few weeks ago.. So which one is it?" She laughed a little hoping her friend would not be mad at her for spell talk..

Ariana Stood up not wanting to be hex'ed by min "Ohh Fine." she said pulling the dress down as far as it would go.

Maxwell laughed. "No one is as cute as us." He said jokingly as well. "Yeah i think we can manage it all...No i don't care, I trust you and i think it's more Ariana i would worry about." He said still in a joking way. "But you're always welcome at the cottage and i'm sure after i make up with Mom you'll be welcome there too, it's a big place."

" You look gorgeous.... I like seeing this side of you." Justin said trying to reassure her.

" Min... Try and be nice..." Justin said as he gave Minerva a look that said...Tread lightly.

Ariana Looked At Max when she heard her name "worry about me for what!?" she said wondering what he was talking about.

"Okay okay, but only cause you like it." She said still a bit snappy

" Okay, Come on." he said as he offered her his hand. Then he stood them up and coaxed her out from behind the couch. Then he put his arm around her waist. " Let's have a good time," he smiled.

Rowan walked in the door, and saw all the kids... What the? Oh... Was Ariana's party today? He'd completely forgotten, he walked over to Millie giving her a small kiss on the forehead, "Hello dear." He smiled at her. He looked over eying Damon and Taylor, Well, little brat actually got somewhere with her? I'll have to tell Puck about this...

Minerva smiled and kissed his cheek. "Well aren't you just sweet. I'm not hurting you, am I?" She was hoping she wasn't to heavy. She looked around at everyone and didn't see where Taylor and Damon had disappeared to, but that was probably for the best. Now they could really enjoy themselves. "I'm glad you trust me, because I would not do anything to hurt you, you know that right? You are the only person I can think about when I'm not around you." she blushed admitting that. She couldn't believe she had almost said that she loved him to Taylor a few days ago, if she really did he should be the first to know that, but again it was still early so she pushed it out of her head. "I think the winter break has been looking up recently and I'm actually excited for it instead of dreading it."


Minerva smiled at Justin, "I am being nice and you know that." she giggled a little and was happy when Ariana decided to come out of hiding. "You do look nice in that dress."

" I know.." Justin said with a smile. " I just didn't want her going on the defensive ... That's all."

Maxwell beamed at the kiss on the cheek. "No, you're not..I'm very comfortable." He said loving where she was at and not wanting her to move. "Of course I trust you, You've never given me reason not to...I know you won't hurt me...I have that same problem with you when you're not around..." He wanted to say the words, but it was still too soon. "I think so too, New York is perfect at Christmas time."

"Oh hello darling."She said giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek before remembering the cake in the oven "The CAKE! she said as she jumped up and ran to the kitchen


"blah blah blah if it was green instead of pink right here" it might look a bit better. she looked at max "what about me?"

Minerva was sitting on Maxwell's lap and noticed someone else come into the house. She saw that was Rowan and smiled and waved at him. She didn't mind him and still felt kind of bad about punching him that day. She had actually forgotten about him being with Ariana's aunt until she had seen him kiss her.



Minerva turned away from the couch laughing, "Oh it's Ariana's special day she can be on the defensive if she wants to me."


Minerva squealed a bit in excitement over hearing New York and Christmas in the same sentence. "I have only seen it on TV and I think it would be awesome to walk central park and see the trees. Think we could see the rockettes or a broadway show?" The thoughts of her Christmas present came to mind and being that she can't keep a secret well she almost turned to tell him what it was since they were speaking of New York, but held her tongue tight.


Minerva just laughed a little at Ariana. "Well if we were at school I would change the color for you, but were not so no magic.." she hated that part about not being at school.
