[Halle]

Belle rolled her eyes. It was just like Ever to be happy with something that was a joke.

[B.L.]

Ever smiles at Belle and says, 'so Bell's you going to Merlins part tonight, i heard its going to be a smash up'.

[Halle]

Belle nodded sadly. "Yeah, I'm going," she said.

[B.L.]

Ever smile drops momentarily, 'you don't see too happy about it Bells, whats up?' says Ever, she watches Belle's face.

[Halle]

Belle felt like a girl at that moment. Not herself a girl, but a real airheaded girl. "I dunno what wear."

[B.L.]

Ever can't stop the fit of laughter that erupts through her, 'oh bloody hell, Belle i never though id hear you say something like that' she says.

[Halle]

Belle whacked her with a copy of Clockwork Angel.

[B.L.]

'ok, ok dont get violent Bell's, wear whatever you look beautiful no matter what' says Ever as she takes the book from Belle.

[Halle]

Belle asked, "Is there a dress code or something?" That would make things easier.

[B.L.]

'I think it's beach stuff, so like sundress, shorts blah blah blah' Ever says shrugging.

[Halle]

Belle sighed, relieved. "I can do that," she said. She grabbed the book back from Ever. "I'm rereading that one."

[B.L.]

Ever rolls her eyes, 'of course you are, i hope Kol doesn't mind being in competition with your book list' says Ever with a grin.

[Halle]

"Book boyfriends come first. Always," Belle said. She was mostly kidding.

[B.L.]

Ever's grin gets wider, 'of course Bells' she says.

[Halle]

Belle couldn't help but compare Kol to the bad boys she would read about that always ended up with the nice girl. "Though exceptions are not impossible."

[B.L.]

'There's that face again, im starting to associate that face with our new mystery bad boy' says Ever with a wink.

[Halle]

Belle's face flamed. "What face?" she asked. "I'm not making a face."

[B.L.]

Ever laughs, 'you LIAR! you are, oh you WUV him Bell's' jokes Ever.

[Halle]

A copy of Wide, Wide world sailed past Ever's head, barely missing. The book landed safely on a plush beanbag.

[B.L.]

'woah, your gettig violent again maybe Kol should be more afraid of YOU' Ever says.

[Halle]

"You're just lucky the stapler is in Dad's office," Belle said grinning.

[B.L.]

'oh NO, NOT THE STAPLES!' shouts Ever in mock horror.

[Halle]

Belle fell backwards into her chair laughing.

[B.L.]

'DON'T scare me like that woman' says Ever in pretend irritation.

[Halle]

"Ah, yes," Belle said. "That's me: the wild child in our pair," she said sarcastically.

[B.L.]

'and i thought I was the naughty one' says Ever, she waggles her eyebrows.

[Halle]

Belle laughed. "Okay," she said, "what time is it and what time is Merlin's party?"

[B.L.]

'It starts around 8 i think, and it's about half 5 now' says Ever getting out her phone to check the time.

[Halle]

Belle nodded. "I can't leave here until six."

[B.L.]

'well thats ok, you'll have 2 hours to get ready, do you want me to comeover to yours to help you DECIDE WHAT TO WEAR' Ever breaks out in laughter again 'i STILL can't believe you said that Bells'.

[Halle]

Belle glared. "I could get the stapler, you know," she said. "And please come over."

[B.L.]

'yeah yeah alright Bell's i'll come over' says Ever with a grin.

[Halle]

Belle sighed. "Thanks," she said.

[B.L.]

'no problem Bells' Ever says, she walks round the side of the counter and pulls Belle into a one armed hug.

[Halle]

Belle hugged her back.

[B.L.]

Ever pushes her off, 'aaaahhh enough of that wubbish' she grins.

[Halle]

"Can't have Ev start blubbering like a baby, can we?"

[B.L.]

'no we bloody well can't,think of my image' says Ever mockingly.

[Halle]

"What little remains."

[B.L.]

Ever slaps Belle on the arm, 'oh, bring it on then Bells, bring.it.ON!' says Ever.

[Halle]

Belle smiled cheekily. "I haven't done anything worth documenting f or my image," she said. "You have no ammunition."

[B.L.]

'thats because your boring' says Ever with a smirk, 'but i still love you'.

[Halle]

"What a relief." Belle checked her phone. "Fifteen more minutes left," she said.

[B.L.]

'good good, don't panic Bell's, he'd be mad not to fancy you' says Ever.

[Halle]

"I am irresistible, aren't I?" she mused.

[B.L.]

'I'd do you' says Ever with a smirk.

[Halle]

Belle burst out laughing. "Get in line."

[B.L.]

'yeah yeah, i'll make a frigging appointment' Ever rolls her eyes.

[Halle]

Belle looked at the clock. Five until six. "I'm leaving now," she said.

[B.L.]

'Lets go then, i've got my stuff in my car' says Ever.
