Liam and Allen walked into the kitchen, they saw Lilly, Ken, Leo and Ian standing behind the table. There were balloons, garlands and decorations hanging on the wall. There were lots of foods and drinks on the table.
- Suuu....
- What happened to your face!
Lilly dashed towards Liam and Allen
- Weren't we suppose to say "surprise"...?
Lilly ignored Kens comment, she was trembling as she reached out to Liam's face.
- Your face... it's wounded... Allen... did you....
She turned to Allen, that tried to ignore her glare.
- How could you!? you bastard!!
- .....
Lilly had grabbed Allen's shirt, it was the first time for Liam to see Lilly this mad. Liam took Lilly by her shoulder
- I'm okay ... he did not hit me that hard ...
Lilly tried to calm down, she released Allen and looked at Liam.
- It must have hurt ...
Liam smiled too easy Lillys mind, even though the pain got worse. Allen sighted and started to walk to the table.
- He said he was fine ... can we eat now?
.
Lilly had calmed down, she had been drinking a bit too much and seemed a bit tipsy, she was grinning too much.
- Heeey, let's play a game!
Everyone was looking at Lilly, Allen looked annoyed.
- Why should we do that?
- So that Newbie gets to know us more, stupid!
Lilly wasn't grinning when she answered Allens question. She would become too easy to read when she got drunk. The fact that Lilly was angry at Allen and the reason why she had been drinking so much was because of him. Ian laughed and looked at Lilly.
- Well, I think it's nice idé, lets do it.
Lilly smiles again, and grabbed Liam around his his shoulder.
- Right! Then, why not start to properly introduce ourselves, I will start, my name is Lilly, I'm 21, my ability is to read people, I look forward to know you more, Next!
- Then I can go next, my name is Ian, I'm 25 years old, my ability is to teliport. nice to meet you!
- Ah, I'm Ken... I'm 24, and my ability is control time as I please...
- Hello, I'm Leo... I'm 23... my ability is to manipulate peoples mind and give them illusions.
- I'm Allen...
- ... Go on!
- .... I'm 21, and I can make myself invisible, and go through walls.
Lilly looked at Liam.
- Only you left now...
- ... My name is Liam, I'm 19... I don't know what my ability is yet...
Everyone stared at Liam, they seemed to have reacted when he mentioned about the ability. Liam started to become red on his face by their stares, it was getting embarrassing, Lilly clapped her hand to get everyone's attention.
- Lets start the game, shall we?
- What should we play?
Ian asked, Lilly was trying to come up with a good game to play, she hadn't thought of anything in beforehand. Then Lilly smirked, and lifted his lifted his glass and said:
- Let's play a drinking game.
Allen sighed.
- How stupid...
Lilly seemed annoyed by Allens answer.
- Why, it's a great idé!
- But haven't you been drinking too much already?
- I'm fine, Ken! Now, the rules... we ask a question and if it's true, we drink.
They filled their glasses, but Liam got some juice instead.
- You can't get drunk when you're the one that have to remember this the most.
Was the reason Lilly had come up. The one that started was Ian he seemed to be thinking, then he asked.
- Who prefer cats more than dogs?
- I love cats!!
Lilly drank it all, and then fell asleep, she had reached her limit long ago, but this was the glass that made her finally give in to. Everyone had been left alone to play something they weren't up to. Allen sighted, he stood up and was on his way out.
- Where are you going...?
Ken asked, Allen ignores Kens question, Leo looked at Allen that was still on his way out.
- Just because Lilly's sleeping, doesn't mean the game is over...
Leo sounded that he had something in mind, Allen didn't Luke that one bit.
- I never cared to begin with...!
- ... I understand, but aren't you worried about Liam?
Leo smirked, when he saw Allens reaction when he turned around.
- Don't mess with me Leo...
Liam got surprised that Leo mentioned him, what did Leo even mean by that...?
- Whaaaat, I don't know what you're talking about, come now and take a seat, the game had just started.
Allen didn't say anything, but then walked back to his seat. He looked irritated about what Leo had said, that very moment had made Leo more intrigued to pick on Allen even more.
- Hey, why don't we play something more interesting...
No one said anything, somehow it had become Leo that was the one leading this party.
- And lets spice it up by betting
Everyone was looking at Leo that was smiling, they knew he was planning something. Ian chuckled, he seemed to have become intrigued and looked at Allen.
- I'm in... Allen, let's have some fun shall we?
- What...?
Liam could feel the tension in the air, Allen had become too annoying to let this slide.
- What's the game?

Conny walks into a room, Satella is sitting on her desk, she was reading some documents before Conny came in but was now looking at him. Stood up and turned to Conny, he seemed annoyed.
- You have finally arrived, huh...
Conny ignored him and was looking at Satella.
- ... Sorry for being late...
- Don't worry about that, now, tell us.
- Ah, yes... it was a success, he survived the process of awakening his ability... he seems to be both mentally and physically stable
- That's good news... That means that we can continue the process of preparing him.
- I suppose so, but I have some difficulties to approve him just yet...
- ... Why's that?
- ... Even though he made it thrue the test, I still can't tell if he's suited for this...
- You're just complaining now! Sure, he still needs to train and be prepared for the mission... I don't like to say this, but it has to be done and he's the one that's going to do it...
Conny looked at him, what he had said wasn't wrong, but Conny couldn't shake off his thoughts of Newbie that made him feel uneasy, Satella seemed to have noticed that.
- Well, what Conny has said is something we can't ignore, we have to be careful, there's no room for any mistakes.
- Sight, the training will probably be tough, and the fact that we don't know his ability just yet will make him work even harder to learn it and control it...
- Yes indeed, the time is running out and time is what we need the most right now, we have to use it wisely.
