Justin looked at her as she looked ashamed of something. It wasn't the Minnie he knew. The Minnie he knew would like you square in the eye when she talked to anyone no matter who it was. Justin took her chin in his right hand and lifted it up so that their eyes met.
" You already know how I know. " he continued whispering. " You and I had gotten very close really fast last term. We've been each others family while at Hogwarts. Now we've become a sort of family here and now. I'll always know how you feel and what running through that crazy head of yours. I won't tell anyone , but you know Ame has access to my thoughts. But I can assure you that she won't say anything either. " he said with a smile.

" Is that arm giving you trouble? Maybe Chaos knows a spell that can help with the pain or a potion. " he asked Minerva.

She was forced to look at Justin, but struggled. She was having trouble looking at anyone since she had been back. "I know, I know I figured you would be the first to know about it, but I was wrong. Kyle was." She gave a little smile. "Justin you are like my brother which means what happened on the train is kind of gross." she let out a small giggle. "It's ok that you two know, but with anyone else we are just friends. I have to talk to Rose and Ronnie. I can not do what I did to Rose again." She moved her arm a bit, "Yes it is still bothering me. I got caught up in well.. umm.. the moment while getting my trunk and tried to pick it up with this arm and pains shot through it. It has hurt since." Her face went bright red when she tried to explain why it hurt so bad.
Just then Harvey walked over and she gave him a little smile and grabbed his hand pulling him down to sit on her lap. "We are busted Harvs. Justin knows, which means Ame knows. So I guess the cat is out of the bag at least here."

Justin stood up as Harvey walked over. He shook his hand and said, " Just keepin' her warm for ya, Harv." Justin smiled a cheesy smile to Harvey as he went to see where Ame had been.
" I'll let you two warm up for a bit. " he said as he left tto go find Ame.

Minerva just smiled and blushed at Justin's words to them both. "So what do you think of this place?" She asked Harvey.

Harvey was shocked when Minnie pulled him down and sat him on her lap.. she then explained that Justin and Ame knew about them two being together.. so they knew?! that means no sneaking looks or hugs well here at least.. school was a different matter.. but until then they could do it openly.. no-one was going to come here and catch them being lovey.. he then chuckled when Justin said that he was keeping here warm for him.. and then he said he would let them warm up together.. Harvey smiled shyly at that before Minnie asked him about the place, he looked around the place "Yeah its nice! Its real good" he then looked at Minnie "But honestly...... any place that has you in it.. will be awesome.. no doubt about it.. there is something about you that seems to make a place like this beautiful" he said to her as he gave her a hug.. he then looked at her and realised he was still on her lap.. so he got off and sat down next to her.. and took her good hand in his and held it.. with his eyes on her..

Kyle chuckled and flicked her wand. The cave was now sound proof. Minerva had an eye and a mind for party planning. "Sure. We can make it happen." She nodded, agreeing. Seeing as how it was Ame's birthday.
Kyle smiled wide as she saw Vinnie getting used to the cave. She tried to make it as close to Wellheart Manor as possible. Kyle was the type of person who went all out to make someone feel at home. Kyle kissed her forehead and smiled as she got back into mother mode.

Kyle was shocked. She thought out of all of this, the kids would want their space from others. She shrugged softly. "Perhaps. I see nothing wrong with it. I guess it's up to your mother." She smiled, looking to Vinnie.

Amethyst blushed deeply, smiling sheepishly. She knew there was no way she was getting out of this. So, she just played along with it all. "Thanks guys..." She wasn't exactly the type of person who was excited about her birthdays. After all, before now, she never was able to celebrate it at the orphanage.
Amethyst was down at the hidden beach, sitting alone. She felt..alone in a crowded place. She began to notice that Harvey, Justin, and Minerva were always together. She sighed to herself and walked to the water. She was wearing no shoes and t-shirt with a huge paw on it with bluejeans.
It was then that she realized she wasn't like them. She also tried to read Justin's thoughts. She couldn't. She had lost connection with him and everyone in the cave. She sat on the edge of the water and put her earphone in, turning on her iPod. She began to sing.

Awake at night you focus,
On everyone whose hurt you,
And write a list of targets,
Your violent lack of virtue.

Leave us alone!
You're on your own!

We are breathing,
While you're sleeping,
And leave us alone,
The liars cheating,
Our hearts beating,
And now you're on your own.

Here's to your perfect weapon,
Crack bones with blind aggression,
Like birds whose wings are broken,
You live without direction.

Leave us alone!
You're on your own!

We are breathing,
While your sleeping,
And leave us alone,
The liars cheating,
Our heart's beating,
And now you're on your own.

And now you're on your own!
And leave us alone!

We are breathing,
While your sleeping,
And leave us alone,
The liars cheating,
Our heart's beating,
And now you're on your own.

Minerva leaned into him and signed. She pulled his arms around her and laid her head on his shoulder like she loved to do. "Well at least we can do this when we want now." She smiled, "I hate that all of you have to be hidden because of me." She turned and put her hurt hand up to his cheek and smiled. "Harvey why was I so dumb to let you go before?" She just shook her head getting lost in his eyes. Not taking her eyes off of Harvey she called to the other room. "Kyle, while Ame isn't around can we start figuring out the birthday party. I want to do something as special as I can for her. She is one of the greatest friends I have. She deserves the best." After calling for Kyle and getting her thoughts on the party she leaned in to give Harvey a kiss.

Kyle walked into the room. After hearing what Minerva had asked, Kyle smiled nodding. "Of course! Do you want a theme?" Perhaps, the look on Ame's face insisted that she didn't want anything big. Just a simple day in Diagon Ally or...training.

Harvey felt his heart skip a few beats as Minnie leaned into him and put her head on his shoulder, and he listened as she spoke in her soft voice.. "Yes we can.. no hiding how we feel here now." he said as he looked at her "You werent dumb Mins,, you were just not ready, I mean you had JUST started at a new school and you were missing your family,. with all this you just wanted someone to care for you.. but then you were feeling overwhelmed with everything and needed a break.. so you had let something go.. and out of school work and me.... the only thing was me.. so I accepted it.." he said as he noticed that she was lost in him again.. he didnt care as long as she was next to him that was all that mattered. Then she called out to Kyle still looking at him.. and he at her... he nodded with everything Minnie said.. then he noticed Minnie leaning in towards him and soon she was kissing him.. and he kissed her back.. finally he could do it openly without worrying who would catch them.. "Er... Mins why dont you help Kyle with the party and I will keep Ame company and make sure she doesnt come in while you are doing the preparations.. Is that ok?" he asked.. unless she wanted to sit here for a little while longer.. of course he didnt mind that either...

"Well I think Justin is trying to find Ame, but yes go out and help keep her company give me oh say about a half hour. We will be able to work with whatever is here." She smiled and grabbed a hold of his arms pulling him in for another kiss. She then stood up and went to Kyle.

"Umm well I don't if Ame wants anything really big. I just want to show her how much we love her. So you don't have any.. wait I do hold on." Minerva said running out of the room and up to her bedroom throwing open her trunk and finding the stuff she was looking for. She went back down stairs.. "Here I have this from last term." She pulled out a bag full of Yellow and Black streamers and balloons. Why don't we make it Puff colors. Get us in the school spirit again since it's coming back so quickly. I think Ame will like that as well, don't you?"

Harvey smiled "Ok.. sure.." he said smiling as he was about to leave Minnie pulled him back and kissed him.. of course he kissed her back.. and felt all happy when she left.. he watched her go to Kyle before going out to see Ame. He found her sitting there all alone.. he sat down next to her and tapped her on the shoulder as she wouldnt hear him calling with her listening to music.. he smiled at her..

Vinnie watched as Minnie and Kyle tried to think of party ideas for Amethyst. " Perhaps the simpler the better. " she smiled.

Kyle smiled. It was a good idea. Amethyst was a Hufflepuff, through and through. Though she was a bit of a Slytherpuff. Her sister was a snake after all. "Great idea!" And I can make her favorite foods for party, Kyle thought. This was going to be good.

Kyle chuckled at the two. They were so cute together.

Kyle smiled. "Not at all, Hunny." She purring softly as her tail wrapped around Vinnie. She looked to Minnie. "You know, she has a point. And Ame is a very simple girl as well. And all she takes fancy in is training with that sword.. Gran gave it to her when she was just a baby. And as Ame grew...so did that sword." Kyle growled playfully.

Amethyst smiled slightly when she saw Justin. "Hello.." She kissed him on the cheek softly. She moved on a few centimeters close to him. She looked down, her voice was in a whisper of the sorts. "I do, Justin, but in fear that I would ruin the fun, I stay down here.." She sighed, shaking her head. "I've no clue...but it's like I can't feel you.. you are there... but at the same time... you aren't.." She thought of the many times she wasn't with Justin. The only time she actually spent with him was at the Party and when he was trying to defend her from harmless Chaos. "I'm not pulling away." She looked at him. The other times he had been out his horse and in Diagon Alley with whoever he he went with and with Harvey and Minerva.

Harvey saw Justin come.. and without saying a word he left the two alone together.. he knew they needed it.. so he went back inside to help with the preparations.. he looked around for Minnie..

Minerva started putting up the yellow and black streamers. She crossed the room with them and placed them around the table. "What do you think? Not to much, but just enough to show a party is going on." She smiled doing this kind of stuff made her happy and for once she wasn't thinking about all the bad she had caused. She was thinking of her very best friend Ame and how she was going to be so surprised to see the cave decorated. Minerva started blowing up the balloons when Harvey came in. She smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Hello there thought you were going to be with Ame?" She then handed him some balloons "want to help me blow these up?" She began to blow up the balloons waiting to see what Kyle thought about what she was doing.

As Harvey scanned the room he saw her blowing up the balloons.. he went over to her and she noticed him and gave him a kiss on his cheek "Oh Justin arrived so I left the two of them alone.. sure anything to help you Sunshine.." he said taking some balloons and blowing them up.. he just watched her blow up her balloon while he blew his.. she WAS his Sunshine and he wanted to keep it that way..

Minerva smiled "Thank you Harvs. Do you like what I have done so far? Do you think Ame will like it?" She looked around at the streamers.. She noticed the way Harvey was looking at her as she blew up the balloons she felt her face turn a bit red. "What are you looking at?" she said in a teasing voice.

Harvey beamed at Minnie "No worries Sunshine!" Harvey looked around at everything and then back at Minnie "Yeah everything looks great!.. I am sure she will like it." he said smiling.. he then started to blow into his balloon,, Minnie noticed him looking and she instantly turned red.. and asked him what he was looking at.. he jumped a little "Oh er.. noth...." he was about to say nothing when he realised he could say anything he wanted now.. they were together "What am I looking at? I am looking at a beautiful girl who has made me the luckiest boy in school.. who I loved alot and still do love her alot.. and I probably will carry on loving her alot." he said to her as he moved closer to her and kissed her cheek and then he whispered "Thank you for that.." he told her as he resumed to blow up his balloon..

Minerva couldn't stop smiling. He made her feel so special and made her feel like she was the only person in the world. Between him and planning the party for her friend Minerva had forgotten the troubles that waited outside the safe cave. She pulled her eyes away from Harvey and called "Kyle do you want me to help with any food and do we have a radio, or a music system for dancing?"

Harvey smiled at her and continued on his balloon.. as she looked at him before looking away to speak to Kyle.. she was his special girl and he would never forget that... he then also looked away.. but he couldnt help it and looked back at her again. He then finished his balloon and tied it up and started on another balloon.. Minnie then mentioned dancing and Harvey became like a deer in headlights.. shocked... dancing??!! oh boy he hadnt done that in a while.. but he felt glad that he could dance openly with a special someone and not worry about it.. this would be his only chance before school started... as after that they would be a secret nothing more..

Justin sat and listened to Amethyst. He didn't understand why she felt disconnected. So, he took a moment to focus on nothing but her thoughts and feelings. After a few moments he looked at her and said he was sorry without saying anything, just to see if she could read his emotions at least. Then he said, " You're right. I haven't included you in alot. I just figured you liked to have time for yourself. And that when you wanted to be with me or us as a group that you'd come and find us. " Justin said sheepishly. " I should've asked if you wanted to join us. "

"I like it, it's simple." Just the way Amethyst liked things. Kyle smiled, knowing this party would be a hit. Unless Ame wasn't in the mood that particular day. She'd never spent Ame's birthday with her, so she had no idea what to expect.

Kyle turned stopping what she was doing and looked to Minerva. Sound system? Of course! "You can help if you'd like. And yeah! I got a sound system." It was best that Kyle, Ame, and Chaos stay human as much as possible. She felt it was safer that way.

Amethyst shook her head. She stood up, looking away from him. "Even wolves need a little guidance.." She walked closer to the edge of the water. She stopped, slightly and whispered. "You are forgiven.." She was slightly upset. Kyle wasn't that close to her as she wanted, she hadn't really even met her soon to be sister-in-law, and her friends seemed to be happier, in her opinion, than when she was there. "You can go if you want..." Was this starting become the same feelings from the orphanage..? Not exactly, but it was pretty close... (End Dramatic Scene. )

Kyle tilted her head slightly. Something was on Vinnie's mind, she was absolutely sure of it. She chuckled and kissed her nose. "What you thinking about, Hun?" She purred softly, her ears twitching.

Vinnie smiled coyly at her. " Never you mind what I'm thinking about. Just know that Amethyst will be a very happy young lady. Kyle , do come with me for a moment. I want to discuss something with you at length. " Vinnie was really excited for the party. As they walked down the hall of the cave Vinnie began to speak again, " Now, Love. I think that Your sister needs you now more than ever. We've both barely spent time with her or Justin. He doesn't mind so much , but Amethyst does care . I see her moping around alot. I do need to talk to Justin though. He hasn't been spending much time together with her either and that's something that needs to stop."

Minerva looked around.. It looked great in her opinion. Yellow and black streamers, a place to dance, and whatever Kyle was making smelled so good. She smiled at Harvey kissing his cheek. "I will be right back, don't miss me to much." She smiled. "Actually go get Justin and Ame and bring them in." She turned and went to the kitchen. She watched Kyle and Vinnie in the kitchen and gratitude filled her. Without thinking she went up behind Kyle and hugged her. "Thank you for everything. I am so thankful to have all of you in my life now." Minerva stopped hugging Kyle and turned a bit red. "Umm it smells really good in here. I sent Harvey to get Ame and Justin."

Harvey was watching Minnie when she kissed him on the cheek.. she said she would be right back when suddenly she sent him to get Justin and Ame while she went to the kitchen.. he watched her until she was out of sight before heading outside to get his friends.. he walked down to where he had left them.. "Er... Ame.. Justin.. sorry to disturb you guys.. but you are both needed inside.. so when you are ready.. just come on in.." he said smiling at his two friends.. he then walked back inside.. he would let them come in when they were ready..
