Chapter One: "The Party"
A moderate group of people were all gathering in front of a large, multi-story office building for some sort of festival. Each of them seemed to bring a tray of cookies or other snacks to the party to enjoy. Though the majority of the people were adults and teenagers, there were several small children running around and enjoying the light snow that swirled around them.

A nouse stirred within the building, directing everyone's attention to it. The slight jingle of keys being taken out was heard, then them sliding itno a lock. With a click, the doors flew open and the lights turned on, showing a load of decorations inside and signs leading to the cafeteria. The people all poured in and qickly made their way to the cafeteria and placed down their treats them started talking.

__________________________________________________________________________________

A tall griffon woman stretched out her arms and wings then looked across the room at her mate. She bent her sharp beak into asmile and slowly strode over towards him. Instead of her usual explosives apron, she was wearing a large green sweater. She made her way over and stopped to hug him.

At the same time, a black fox wearing a red vest was running around through the people, trying to find someone in particular. "Peggy?" He cried out, trying to locate her as he scurried about.

The pink fox's ears perked up as she heard her name in a familiar voice she would always know. She noticed the black fox out of the corner of her eye, and made her way to him. "Bladelocke...?"

A white fox watched the pink fox silently, smiling a little bit, and then yawning.

Right at that moment, someone knocked on the door.

"Come on in! Come." A voice greeted the person, opening the door and ushering him inside.

A red hedgehog with a black quill on top of his head and wearing a green winter coat and blue jeans comes in. He is also carrying a trash bag.

"Heyo! My name is Spike!" The red hedgehog greeted them. He dropped his trash bag on the floor, spilling out some present boxes. "Oops." He picks up the boxes and puts them back into the trash bag.

A dark brown cat with messy dark brown hair,a scarf, a hoodie and a pair of heans is standing in a corner. A winged snake is flying around him.

A blue hedgehog, dressed in green dress, was looking around the building. This was her first time to be n parties, so she was really excited.

A wolf in a red coat was seen walking around, taking in the sights of the building. He certainly liked the decor in here. 'Wonder who ordered this stuff up,' he wondered.

A tan-brown feline watched over the guests not in the cafeteria yet. She had the hood on her long robes lowered so people could see her face. She looked around, possibly for someone in particular and also made sure no one broke anything.

Spike went to a corner and leaned against it, with a bored expression on his face, and kept the trash bag close to him.

"Peggy?" Bladelocke turned around and faced the pink fox. When she go close enough, she was greeted with a warm hug. Bladelocke wagged his tail happily upon seeing his friend.

A white fox-bat spotted the dark brown cat and immediately ran over to him smiling widely. "Jesse!" She shouted as she raced towards him, throwing out her arms for a hug.

Peggy nodded, grinning widely. She didn't want to let go for the warm embrace, so she wrapped her arms around Bladelocke tightly, her smile warm and genuine towards him. She wagged her tail, and folded her ears back happily.

The dark brown cat, Jesse smiled as the fox-bat came and hugged him. "Hello Sheila!" he excalimed. The snake hissed in greeting when he saw Sheila.

Blue hedgehog, Coral, was looking for a drink from the bar. "What do they mean they don't sell Pepsi here?" she wondered.

The snake began hapilly flying in circles around Sheila.

Tharros Polemistis was leaned against a wall, his robust brown furred arms were crossed over his broad chest. It seemed the Griffin was doing his best to enjoy the festivities, but it was quite apparent.he was having difficulty. His long and thin tail swayed back and forth in moderate boredum. This was one of the rare instances he was seen without his weapon. His attention was then directed to a figure moving towards him, the same of which dragged him here. He couldn't help but let a smile break through his rigid exterior upon seeing her. He allowed his arms dangle at his sides as he was met with her embrace.

"Dannah, always a pleasure." He said to his mate, placing his paws on her hips.

Two figures then made their entry. One of which was a sky blue wolfbat and the other was a small gray creature who floated above the hybrid with his large green and cyan wings.

"Looks like we're a little late, buddy." Twilight told his companion. Champ the Chao seemed exhausted from the flight over here and took a seat on the Lycalo's head. "Now, let's see who's all here." The hybrid stated, walking further into the facility.

Spike got bored of sitting around and decided to walk around. He grabbed the trash bag and strolled around the facility.

Dannah hugged tighter and smiled. Her tail swishes back and forth. She was clearly enjoiying her time. This was also one of the rarer moments when she wasn't armed to the teeth with weapons and tools. "Come on, Tharros, what do you feel like doing right now, dear?" She asked

Sheila looked at the snake as it flew. "Igor, come here." She said, letting out a little giggle as she watched him. "He's still really cute." She said with an innocent smile.

Bladelocke simply held onto Peggy for a few more minutes.

The winged snake, Igor flew over to Sheila and looked at her expectantly.

Luce looked at Peggy and Bladelocke, smiling. Luce looked around for anymore familiar faces, smiling widely.

Peggy then let go. "It's nice to see you, again." She continued to smile brightly, wagging her tail.

"He can be cute. However his cuteness is not consistent." Jesse remarked in response to Sheila's previous comment.

Ember sat on a chair in the corner of the room, typing away on his laptop. "No, I got that bit wrong," he said to himself.

Sheila reached up and tried to gently grab Igor.

Igor allowed her to do so and hissed happily.

Sheila quickly brought him down into a hug and held him tightly but not enough to hurt him. She closed her eyes and nuzzled the little snake's head, while wagging her tail rapidly.

Jesse smiled at Sheila's innocence and happiness. But immediately had his emotions changed from happiness to annoyance when Igor wriggled out of Sheila's arms and speedily flew over to Luce and started looking back and forth from his wings and her's, noting the differences and similarities.

Luce studied Igor, and noticed that he was studying her. "Can I help you?" she asked gently, her eyes studying Igor as well. She shrugged a bit.

Jesse walked over to Igor and glared at him. "God damnit Igor. Sorry my snake. He's a bit stupid. Sorry." Jesse said apolegetically to Luce.

Luce shook her head. "No, he's fine. He's not bothering me at all."


 * knocks on door*

Tharros couldn't help but allow a confident grin to stretch across his golden beak.

"I believe you are aware of the answer." The hybrid replied. But the grin vanished as he continued to speak. "But as previously agreed, I will hold myself back. I am not one for participating in events such as these. What does one typically do?" He asked.

Meanwhile, Twilight had caught sight of a certain snow white Angelfox. He grinned slyly and slowly approached her from behind. Once he got close enough, he would tap her lightly on the shoulder. Once she would turn around, she would see the Lycalo holding a mistletoe above her head, which is something he brought to the party just in case he got this oppurtunity.

Jesse handed Igor to Sheila again. "There you go. Hopefully he won't fly away again."
 * knocks again*

Knocks*

Luce continued to look around, and she studied Jesse carefully.

"Hm," she muttered, raising an eyebrow. She hadn't minded the snake much at all, he was only curious. Luce didn't notice her beloved approaching her from behind.

A cat walks in "wow this place is cool!"says honey the cat

Twilight snickered lightly as he tapped Luce on the shoulder. His grip on the misletoe was strong enough to the point it wouldn't drop. He wouldn't want that to happen after all. He also made it easy to see for her once she turned around. She'd additionally be greeted with a warm smile from the wolfbat as he looked forward to a sweet kiss from his angel.

Luce turned around as she felt the tap, and once she caught the sight of Twilight's face, she grinned.

"Hey," she said gently.

A red echidna with a jacket and jeans knocks on the door."Hmph.."

The door opened, showing a normal cat standing there, "Come in." He offered warmly.

Ember looked at everyone interacting with each other, then sighed. He then turned back to his laptop, saved his work and turned it off.

"Hey yourself." Twilight cooed in response to Luce. He had a large ear to ear grin and he raised his eyebrows at her, gesturing towards the mistletoe he was holding above them with a nod of his head.

Luce blushed at the sight of the mistletoe, and was a little surprised, but did not hesitate to brush her lips against his. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Twilight blushed immensely from feeling Luce's lips meet his. He tenderly wrapped his arms around her waist, both strangely enough despite holding the misletoe seconds before. Almost as if planned, Champ had held it for his master and hovered above them, smiling happily while doing so.

Coral was looking around the place and wanted to talk with somebody. She didn't wanted to celebrate parties alone without any company

The red echidna sat on the couch, looking around.

A teenaged fish looked around for anyone he knew. Spotting Coral, he quickly strode over towards her, raising his hands above his head in a waved at the hedgehog.

"Aah, the fish guy is invited too" thought Coral, when spotting the fish and waving for him

The echidna sighs as she is about to fall asleep.

Coral walked closer the fish, "Hi" She said for fish.

[Knocking.]

The red echidna sighs and lingers to the door. She opens it.

A dark blue fox falls in face first. His Arctic wolf friend is blushing and angerly looking at him.

"Ow.," Grail said as he got up.

Thank you for letting us in, Miss., Aislinn wrote and showed the red echidna.

"So, what brings you to these parties?" Coral asked from teenaged fish.

The echidna waves slightly."You're welcome.I was bored anyways."

After handing Igor to Sheila, Jesse slinked back into the corner he was standing in before.

Ember now walked around, too shy to talk to anyone. Every time he got near anyone, he changed his course and walked elsewhere.

The fish looked at Coral closely. "I think I remember you." He said, smiling.

A white bat, carrying two children walked over to Ember. She looked at him with a warm smile on her face. "Greetings." Her warm voice called out to the leopard.

Sheila grabbed onto Igor and pulled the winged snake down to her level. She hugged him close and wagged her tail happily. "Yay!" She called out as she smiled.

"I remember you too. You are that fishy fish, who I met" Coral said. "I can't forget my friends ever"

"I'm El-Dor." The fish replied, smiling, "What was your name again?" He asked.

Jesse looked over to Sheila and told her "You can look after him for a little while, if you'd like."

Ember turned and looked at the bat shyly. "Uh, hi."

The bat nodded back to him, "A bit shy, hm?" She asked.

Sheila smiled and nodded rapidly, "I will!" She replied.

Jesse smiled at her "Alright just make sure he doesn't get in trouble. If he does anything really bad bring him back to me. Okay?" He said.

"Uh, yeah just a bit." Ember blushed.

"Yo, Ember!," Grail shouted out as he put his arm around Ember's shoulder and smiled widely.

Aislinn rolled her eyes, but then she got really shy. She hid in a corner, avoiding all the new people she sees.

"my name is Coral"  Hedgehog replied smiling too. "Nice to see you again"

"Oh, hi Grail," Ember said, relieved to have somebody he knew around.

"Why aren't you talking to anyone, dude?," Grail asked.

A tan skinned human with dark blue hair entered the building, searching around for familiar faces. She noticed El-Dor, but also noticed he was speaking with someone. She decided she would talk to him later.

Ember blushed again, "Not many people here know me."

"Perhaps try meeting new people?" The bat offered as she shifted the two babies in her arms back into position, "You never know what might happen."

Sheila rapidly wagged her tail, she was focused on Igor and wasn't paying full attention to Jesse, "I will!" She called back as she scurried off happily.

El-Dor smiled, "Now I remember." He told her. Something caught the corner of the young fish's eye, something tan next to something dark. He stood up on his tip toes in an attempt to examine it further, but it was gone by the time he did. He got back down and looked at Coral a little shyly, "Sorry about that..." He apologized.

"that's alright, whatever it was" Coral said.

Grail shook his head and laughed. "You sometimes need to open up, Ember. I know a few people in here. Maybe I can introduce them to you?," Grail said with a smirk.

"Yeah, that'd be good I guess," Ember replied nodding.

Jesse smiled to himself. "Alright, I've got Igor out of my hair for a little while. Perfect." He said as he idly stood in the corner.

"Good.," Grail said. "Oh, I found someone you would love to meet. Met her a couple of months ago.," Grail said as he dragged Ember along to Luce.

Aislinn was still sitting in her corner alone. She got up and sat in a chair sighing.

Ember followed Grail as he felt him yank his arm. "Whoa, slow down."

The echidna sat back down, watching people.

Aislinn started walking around and she didn't want anyone noticing her. She whimpered as she had no one to talk to.

Moments passed since Luce and Twilight's embrace. Champ continued to hold the mistletoe, but his short attention span swiftly came about. He dropped it, causing it to land on the Lycalo's head, resulting in him breaking the kiss to see what his little buddy was up to. The Chao flew a little bit higher and more into the center of the room. His dark blue, digit-less hand was placed over his invisible mouth and his tangerine colored emotion ball was formed into a question mark as he was in deep though. So many people here, but who to interact with. Just then, his ball returned to its spherical shape and a drum was pulled out from seemingly nowhere complete with sticks that he held. He proceeded to bang on it in a somewhat rythymic pattern, eyes closed and a large toothed grin stretched across his face. The drum playing was loud eenough to where the party goers would likely hear it, even in the midst of their conversations. On top of this, the tiny gray: was shouting baby-like gibberish as he gleefully played his instrument.

Luce watched Champ, giggling slightly, her muzzle bright red. She then noticed Grail dragging Ember over to her. She recognized Grail, but she had never seen Ember before. She wondered immediately what Grail was doing, and she looked up at Twilight, smiling widely.

Jesse was imediately startled by the sudden gibberish shouting and drumming. He immediately began looking for the source of the sound. When he noticed it was the chao creating the noise he sighed. It have  been incredibly awkward to find the owner of the chao with so many people around. Jesse remained standing in the corner and beared the music that he found agitating.

Tharros too was annoyed by the sudden commotion, right as he was close to relaxing within the embrace of his mate. A dull groan escaped his beak as he looked to the source of the noise and had a sense of familiarity with the Chao.

"That creature, I recognize it from somewhere. If I am not mistaken, it belongs to the Lycalo known as Twilight." He told Dannah, turning his head to the hybrid. His white feathered ears twitched about in annoyance." I will speak to him and demand he silence his companion. " he informed.

"Hey, Luce!," Grail said with a smile. But then he saw Twilight. He looked immediately confused. "Who's the guy..?," Grail asked Luce. Grail wasn't very informed about lycalos, so Twilight's species was a mystery to him.

Aislinn walked up behind Grail and hid from Luce and Twilight. Hi, Ember., Aislinn wrote and showed Ember as soon as she saw him.

Grail jumped and looked over his shoulder. "Hi, Aislinn.," Grail said lightly.

"It was one of my friends." El-Dor explained, "I'm going to go talk to her after I'm done talking to you."

Dannah also looked at the small chao, then back to Tharros. "We can go to a different room if you want, Tharros." She told him, "No need to start something at a time like this." She hugged him and nuzzled up closer to him. With a twitch of her wings she took another glance at the cho and smiled, "He just seems happy that those two are having some quality time. Wouldn't want to ruin it for them, would we?" She reassured him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Tharros gently rested his beaked chin atop Dannah's head. He exhaled deeply, attempting to relax himself for once. It seemed the Griffin was always tensed up despite appearing calm and collected. Always being prepared for battle would do such a thing.

"Wherever you decide, I will follow close behind." He told her. "It does not bother me to remain here in case you are wondering." He went on, holding her closer.

Twilight continued to watch Champ, who was still rocking out in the most silly of ways. The wolfbat then turned his attention to Grail and was somewhat confused at first as well. Seeing as he was distracted with someone else for the moment, he decided to ask his angel a quick question.

"You know him?" He asked in almost a whisper.

Grail shrugs and scratched his head. He then looks over his shoulder at Aislinn. "Don't worry, Aislinn. I know the angelfox. We met near a few months ago, I think. Just act friendly, okay?, " Grail assured.

Aislinn nods and almost leaves behind Grail. Half of her body shows looking at Luce and Twilight. She lightly blushed at them with a worried look.

"Let's head to a more private room.." Dannah told her mate. With a smile she slowly started walking towards the end of the room, still holding Tharros' hand and exited.

Tharros was led elsewhere with no resistance or any questions asked. Dannah was the sole individual who would be allowed such a thing. He found himself getting quite attached to the Griffon and was even relaxed around her, as apposed to the constant battle-ready mindset he typically has. Now he simply awaited the destination his mate had in mind.

Bladelocke was distracted by the flying drummer, but then looked back to his friend, "You want to get some punch?" He offered, something moving on his back and his heart beating loudly as always..

Luce nodded at Twilight. "Hey, Grail," she waved. Luce looked back up at Twilight.

"Grail, this is my fiance, Twilight."

Peggy looked at Bladelocke. "Hm?"

Grail smiled at Twi. "You are a very lucky man to propose to such a nice woman. Err... This is my friend, Aislinn.," Grail said he pointed towards Aislinn.

Aislinn turned whiter and showed herself to Twilight and Luce. She was a bit shaky.

Grail had a worried look on his face. "She gets nervous when she meets new people.," Grail said, then he showed Ember. "This is Ember. He doesn't know anyone besides me and Aislinn, so I decided for him to mingle with some people I knew. I happened to see your face along with your fiance, who looks devilish tonight."

"Uh, hi," Ember said shyly.

Twilight blushed slightly and his ears folded back a ssmall degree at Grail's initial statement.

"Thank you. I am quite lucky indeed to have this beautiful angel as my soon to be wife." He replied, smiling warmly at Luce. His expression returned to normal as the small talked and introduced themselves, exchanging looks with the ones sspeaking and nodding occasionally. "It's very nice to meet you all." He said with a smile. "And if any of you are wondering, that little rockstar up there is Champ. I'm sure you'll be greeted by him soon enough." The Lycalo stated with a chuckle.

Dannah lead her mate down a hall into a different room. The room seemes to be an office of sorts that was renovated into a more comfortable room. Two large chairs sat, waiting for the two griffons, close, and facing each other at an angle, suggesting a conversation area. Dannah sat down in one of the chairs and curled her tail forward so it rested on her lap. Reaching a hand over, she grabbed the lines to the window shades and gave them a light tug, then pulled them up, hooked them and released the line. "Sure is getting snowy out there..." She commented, looking at the heavily falling snow, "How much do you think it's snowed already?" She asked Tharros, turning to face him again.

Tharros examined the room for a few moments before taking a seat in the chair beside Dannah. His tail curved and slumped over the edge of the chair next to his left leg. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees and locking his paws together. He pondered briefly about her question and looked into her cobalt eyes as he spoke.

"It is difficult to determine. Although I believe it has snowed now more then in recent years." He replied. "For reasons unknown, I cannot rid myself of the feeling of uncertainty. Perhaps it is my particular mindset, but I assume something is amiss, or at least it will be momentarily." He stated.

"Punch?" Bladelocke asked again, smiling and closing his eyes in happiness. He seemed to enjoy the pink fox's company and wanted to do something with her.

"What was that exactly?" Coral asked and took some drink

"Huh?" He looked at Coral with aconfused xpression, "I was talking to Peggy..." He commented, looking awkwardly back to his vulpine friend.

The white foxbat carried the snake around in her arms, happily swishing her tail as she petted ang hugged him. "Igor, what do you want to do?" She asked, looking at him curiously and innocently. She stared into his eyes, apparenty waiting for an answer.

"i wasn't suppose to say that for you, but I needed some company anyway. not saying El-dor isn't" Coral said

The echidna sighs and gets up and wanders around

Gen walked over to the echidna, bearing a warm smile, "Hello there." She greeted.

Igor began looking around after the foxbat asked him the question. His eyes scanned the room until they finally rested on the chao. He stared at the chao curiously before hissing what seemed like a question to the while foxbat.

"It's called a Chao, Igor. They're cute and adorable and they're also pretty smart." She answered, giggling. She continued to sweep her tail from side to side in excitement.

(If a character could understand this hiss it would translate to: "What's that thing?"-Fain)

(Sheila already could understand animals.)

(I know that.-Fain)

Dannah looked at Tharros, then atthe snow and back to him again. She leaned forward and lightly pressed the tip of her beak to the tip of his. "I'm sure it's nothing..." She replied, "Probably just a blizzard." She continues, then stared into his eyes, and relaxed.

In the midst of contact between their beaks, Tharros held both of Dannah's hands and continued to hold them while she spoke.

"I hope you are correct. I simply wish to protect you from harm, even if it means suffering harm myself." He told her with a sall smile.

Champ seemed to be finished rockin' out with his drums and they vanished from his hands. He proceeded to look around, seeking someone to play with. There were so many choices and his mind was decently overwhelmed with decisions. He lowered hinself closer to the ground and hovered about, aimlessly wandering the party.

Grail looked up at Champ and then looked confused. "Umm... What exactly is he...? I never seen that type of pet.," Grail asked.

'You don't know what a Chao is..?,' Aislinn wrote.

Grail shrugged and kept looking at Champ. ''Animal parts? Is this some kind of gene or allele that makes them have animal parts?, ''

Peggy looked at Coral, but then shook her head, as if she were in deep thought. "Oh, yeah, punch would be great." She kept her head tilted at Coral, seemingly confused.

Luce nodded and folded her ears back. She liked the sound of going to be his wife. She nodded at Grail, and then smiled a little at Ember. "Oh, hello. What's your name?"

"I-I'm Ember," he said, still very shy. Ember wasn't used to talking to people that he hadn't known before hand and would always get shy when talking to someone new.

"Oh, lighten up, buddy. Nobody's gonna bite and if they do, I'll blow their head off with my guns.," Grail assured.

Igor attempted to wriggle out of Sheila's arms in hopes of getting a closer look at the chao.

"Grail, I hope you're joking," Ember said with a serious look on his face.

"I'm just kidding. Who would bring guns to a Christmas party?," Grail joked. "I only have tranquilzer darts."

Aislinn just shyly sat in a corner near Grail, Ember, and Luce, even more shy than Ember.

Ember sighed. "I might continue with stuff on my laptop."

"Uh hi.."The echidna blinks as she saw Gen.

"You go do that. I, er.. Have to comfort Aislinn. I'll talk to you guys later.," Grail said to the three as he walked off to Aislinn, then talking to her in the corner.

A black bat wearing a long green coat, and green trousers and a white cat in a large winter coat walk up to the door carrying their respective trays of food. The bat had two non anthropomorphic cats circling his feet. The white cat knocked the door and looked down at the cats. "Are you sure they won't get lost or stepped on, Dame?" he asked the bat. "No. They'll be fine, trust me." The bat replied.

The echidna sighs and heads to the door.She opens it and waves slightly

The white cat, Kristoph and the black bat, Damien thanked the edchidna and entered. Damien began looking around before Kristoph said to him. "I assume Loki has a sitter. If you left him home alone-" He was cut off by Damien laughing, "What do you take me for? An idiot? Of course Loki has a babysitter." He replied. Kristoph smiled. "Now that that's cleared up, how about we find someone we know?" He said already looking around for someone he knew. Damien however had already spotted someone he knew, the person he had seen was his Cousin's apprentice, Jesse. "Found someone" Damien said dragging Kristoph with him over to the cat.

Jesse immediately noticed Damien coming towards him. He was confused about who the other man that was with him was however he still greeted them both. "Hello Damien and... Other guy." Rather than actually greeting Jesse, Damien asked "Where's your snake?" he asked. "Oh... A friend of mine is taking care of Igor, Anyway who's that?" Jesse replied. "Oh this is my co-worker and friend, Kristoph. But call him Kris he prefers it." Damien said smiling. Kristoph imediately sighed. "Dame-." As soon as Kristoph said the first word of his sentence Jesse began laughing his head off. "Dame?" he cackled looking at Damien. He spent a good minute laughing before he shut his mouth. "Sorry." He said after he calmed down. Kristoph sighed, "As I was saying. I prefer Kristoph to Kris. But if you really want to you can call me Kris". "Oh hey! I should introduce myself. I'm Jesse. I know Damien via my summoning teacher, who's his cousin. Damien just LOVES dropping in while I'm training." Jesse said, hissing the last scentence.

One of the cats that was circling Damien's feet was now pawing at Jesse's tail. The other cat was watching it dilligently. Jesse didn't notice the cat pawing at his tail for a little while. He only noticed when the cat grabbed his tail with both paws and tugged at it. Jesse was in the middle of a conversation with Damien when this happened so his sentence transformed into a "What the hell!". Damien noticed the cat holding onto Jesse's tail and called her back to his side. "Sorry about Ambrosia... The same thing happened to Kris the first time Ambrosia encountered him as well." Damien said. "Hmm. Why do you never bring your cats when you're coming to visit your cousin?" Jesse questioned. "They'll mess with his and your summons." Damien answered. Kristoph had grown curious about summons after listening to Damien and Jesse talk. Now seemed like the perfect time for him to ask "So, what can you summon Jesse?". Jesse smiled awkwardly "Nothing compared to my teacher. I can just summon small animals with weird things about them. For example. I have this pet snake I always have with me. His name is Igor. He has wings. Perhaps you'll see him later." He replied. The bat and two cats continued speaking to eachother for a little while until Kristoph and Damien left to socialize and enjoy the party.

Champ instantly notcied the winged snake making its way over to him. The naturally curious creature was even more curious about this strange, but potential new friend. He stared blankly at Igor for a number of moments. He then slowly approached the strager as he wasn't exactly sure what to think of it.

Twilight watched the interaction within the small group. He wasn't much of a talker, especially within large crowds such as these as well as with strangers. They all seemed like decent individuals, and the wolfbat definitely wouldn't mind getting to know them on his own terms. As such, he looked to Luce and smiled warmly at her.

"So darling, enjoying the party?" he asked the Angelfox.

Luce nodded and smiled back. "Why yes, I am. Are you enjoying the party?" Luce looked up to Twilight, smiling warmly at him.

"I'm having a pretty good time myself." Twilight replied to Luce with a series of nods. He looked to his companion to make sure he wasn't getting into trouble. Champ was sometimes a handful, but the Lycalo could never stay angry with him and always loved to be around the Chao. He found relief to see the drumming session had stopped and Champ was now having a staring contest with a winged snake. Twilight was curious on how this would turn out and watched the two.

Ae-Cha continued looking at El-Dor, and just decided to talk to him. She walked over to him, tilting her hat a bit.

"Hello, El-Dor," she said warmly.

"Hi. We were talking from such a nice topic with El-dor" Coral, who saw Ae-cha, as social person thought here's her chance to get more company, said.

"Hi!" The fish cheerfully replied. "I didn't expect to see you here..." He continued, looking at his human friend.

Sheila let Igor get free, but then she followed him through the crowd of people, making sure to keep an eye on him.

Dannah smiled at her mate's words. She made a purr-like growl and leaned forward for a hug.

Tharros let out his own purr as he felt the embrace of his mate, although his was deep and almost didn't sound friendly. But the smile fixed on his beak suggested he was enjoying his time with Dannah. His large paws were placed on the center of her back below the base of her wings and moved side to side in a relaxed pace.

A grey hawk chooses that moment to walk into the party. He's wearing a white t-shirt with a blue coat over it. He's wearing black trousers and has his orange goggles on his head and aboe his eyes. Damn, this party is huge, well i better go and enjoy myself. He decides to walk around and find anyone he recognizes

"I assume you know this girl well, dor" Coral said for fish and looked human. "And before saying anything..."Coral showed ring on her finger. "I am married with other person"

Igor flew over to the chao and stared at it curiously while circling it.

Champ continued to stare at Igor, flying in a circle to constantly face the reptile. his emotion ball had formed into the shape of a question mark as he pondered on what to do. After a few moments, the returned to its default spherical shape as the Chao pulled out a blue, round shaped fruit. He held it in both hands and offered it to Igor as a token of friendship.

Coral gone take some more drink and smiled. "These parties are not bad at all. I could come again, if this is held again" She thought and came back to El-dor

"Hm," said Ae-Cha. She shrugged lightly, keeping the same serious look on her face as normal. She continued to stay human, but she would possibly morph into her dolphin form when she had the chance to.

Igor cocked his head to the side momentarily before he gave into the temptation of eating the blue fruit.

The wolf in the red coat from earlier began to walk around the place, looking to mingle with the others.

In one corner of the room, an large, empty green trashcan was sitting in the corner. However, when nobody was watching, it started to wobble. As it wobbled, it would have started to move closer to the nearest person by about a few inches. But when someone looked over at the trashcan, it would immediately stop moving and stay absolutely still, as though nothing had happened.

The wolf turned around and noticed the trashcan. "Odd. How'd that get in here?" he murmured.

The grey hawk from before continues to walk around the party. When he realises he sees no one that he recognizes he resorts to sitting on the couch.

In one corner of the cafeteria, a large, empty green trash can is in the corner. However, while nobody is watching, it would wobble a bit, moving closer to the nearest person by about a few inches. However, should anyone look back at it, it would abruptly stop in its tracks, staying completely still. Inch by inch, it would move closer to the nearest person all while trying to avoid being caught moving.

Champ handed the fruit to his new buddy and smiled happily. His short attention span kicked in once more and he waved goodbye to the snake before turning around and flying elsewhere. At this time he saw a strange looking trash can that he swear saw move. His head tilted to the side and his emotion ball formed into a question mark. The Chao appeared to have the mind of a toddler with his child-like gibberish and his bubbly demeanor, but he was smarter then one would assume. The "trash can" had sparked his curiosity and he hovered on towards it. Once he made his approach, he circled around it once and upon seeing it no longer moving, he swiftly came to a conclusion it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Feeling his wings needed a break, the Chao took a seat atop the lid and watched with infinite awe at the party attenders.

(I'll let someone else decide who the closest person to this trash can is....)

A brown hedgewolf stops next to the trashcan, he lifts the lid up and dumps an empty soda can into it. he then walks off.

El-Dor smiled at both of his friends there. He seemed to be enjoying himself very well.

Sheila chased after Igor, waiting to see what he'd do, "Fruit?" She asked, smiling widely.

Dannah closed her eyes in relaxation as her shoulders were massaged. She moved her wings forward, moving the large feathered apendages to cover both her and her mate's heads and shoulders. She let out a little playful giggle and poked his tail with her own.

Tharros' beak turned a faint shade of red at his mate's abrupt and flirtatious mannerisms. He couldn't help but share a chuckle as he stared into her sky blue eyes. His usual piercing and rigid stare had softened up noticably.

"I find it perplexing." he started, as he began a playful battle with their respective tails. "Even with the immense willpower I hold, I find my mind clouded around your pressence Dannah." he told her. He wasn't entirely sure if it was a good thing, or a bad thing. After all, such emotions were being felt for the first time in his life that spanned over 2,000 years.

"To be honest" Coral started. "I don't like to be on party without company. I want to share my joy with friends"

"Hm." Ae-Cha tilted her hat a bit so her eyes couldn't be seen. Without her hat, she would have a blowhole on the top of her head, so she normally wore a hat to cover it. "That's understandable."

Chapter 2: "White out."
Several hours later, the party starts to wind down. People are groggily finishing their talks and heading towards the doors. Sheila grabs one of the doors and tries pushing the doors, but it doesn't budge. Upon looking closer, nothing can be seen behind the doors, only white. Only snow.

Twilight was seated on a chair as things began to wind down. Champ rested on his lap, his mind lost within the land of slmber. A quick look at his smart phone reminded Twilight it was close to time for him to return home. He wouldn't want the sun to set if he wasn't home after all. But it appeared there was an issue with the door. This brought some uncertainty to the wolfbat.

"The doors won't open?" he asked Sheila, who wasn't far from the hybrid and his sleeping buddy. One ear was drooping somewhat. His tone sounded faintly worried, but this would likely increase if this was indeed the case and they were trapped in here.

Sheila looked back at Twilight and nodded slowly. "They won't even budge." She replied, "And I can't even see out any of the windows." She added. Quickly, she strode over to her mother and snuggled up to her, out of fear.

In the back room, Dannah was napping on her chair. After a long talk and some quality time with her mate, she had nodded off exhaustedly. She sat crooked in her chair, resting half her face on one side while her body turned to match the head. She had a smile on her beak as she slept, indicating she had a good time while she was with him.

Tharros had remained awake, his eyes never leaving the napping Griffon beside him. A smile was fixed on his beak as he couldn't help but feel happiness. The hybrid was painfully unaware he was trapped within this establishment, not that he'd care really. As long as his mate was out of harm's way, it was of little worry to him.

The hedgewolf was sitting down, nevous from the snow block-up. "..."

A cat looks out one of the Windows "wow..."

The grey hawk finihes his drink from earlier and its back on the sofa. He looks at the commotion in confusion and walks toward a group of people.

The cat pulls out a bag of chips and eats some"this is a good party I guess."

The blue female hedgehog in green dress didn't noticed anything, what have happened. Instead, she was enjoying the time with her friends and drinking her favorite drink. "My greatest parties ever" She cheered.

El-Dor had fallen asleep in the corner of a room, wrapped up in a thin blanket, he was sleeping soundly.

A little female cat named Alexis comes out behind the cat (sico) "this is a cool party! Um I'm getting sleepy can I get on your back?" "Fine."

Blitz had overheard the commotion at the front door, and notice that he couldn't see anything out of it either. "...oh dear..." he said silently.

Alexis notices that people are all huddled up at the door"that's weird I can't see anything out there."

As Grail finished comforting Aislinn, he looks at the whole crowd gathered at the door. Then he saw the white outside. His irises shrunk in fear. "Oh, beep...", Grail said as he got up and looks outside. "Nothing but snow... Lovely.."

Aislinn started to freak out a little at Grail's comment. She started crying silently to see the whiteness that is blocking the door and windows.

"Well, we're screwed," the wolf said to himself. Unless they could dig their way out without getting buried as well, he and others were pretty much stuck here.

"You're kidding me..." Twilight muttered under his breath. Careful not to disrupt the sleeping form in his lap, he gently hoisted the Chao in his arms and got to his feet. As he made it to the door, his mind began to panic. "There's gotta be a way out. I-I can't be here for long..." he said to nobody in particular. What he said was true, as if he didn't make it home before dark, things would look bleak for the once cheerful party.

Grail looked around, then he looked at Twilight. He noticed his worried face. Grail approached Twilight and patted him on the back. "Calm down, dude."

Coral saw what happened and walked on door. "I guess this was the reason, why Lumi didn't had rights to join this party... Although she was busy afterall" she thought. "There's no need to worry. Everything will be okay. Something, which will set us free, will happen when it's time comes"

The grey hawk walks up to the group of people and stretches out. "Hey what's up guys?"

Alexis has wide eyes "I I I can't see any thing out there how are we supposed to go through that?!

Twilight was fumbling around with thoughts in his mind. He was in a mental trance of sorts until Grail caused him to be snapped back to reality.

"Oh, hey Grail." he said in a friendly tone. "I'm calm, for the most part. Just having a mini freak out, but I think I'll be fine... hopefully." he replied, sighing deeply.

"You don't like being in closed spaces, do you?," Grail said.

Luce looked around, then noticed Grail and Twilight chatting.

"Hm," she muttered, not seeming to know anything was wrong. She leaned up against a wall, watching everyone closely.

Alexis starts to run around sico "we're gonna be locked here!!! sico tries to comfort "alexis it's gonna be alright."

As the people were all talking about the snow, or continuing to talk normally, or sleeping, the lights above them sparked from a lack of power, then went out. A few black bulbs in between the normal white ones were switched on, emiting an invisible, ultraviolet light that only a few, if any of the guests could see.

"Crap!" Blitz blurted. He didn't like the dark; if he couldn't see things, then that was always cause for concern.

A buzzing sound was heard as some mics were switched on somewhere in the building. "Welcome," A voice beckoned from the speakers placed around the rooms. Though they appeared to be speakers for music, something else was also hooked up to them, "How have you all been enjoying yourselves so far?" He asked.

Sheila was one of the first to listen and cringed, clinging to her mother from fear.

Bladelocke had looked up at the lights when they sparked and grabbed Peggy's hand, assuming what would happen next. His guess was correct as the lights clicked off. "Peggy, you still there?" He called out in a little desperation.

Dannah wasn't bothered by the lights going out. She was sleeping anyways. But the voice over the loudspeakers caused her to stir then sit up with an confused and startled look on her face, "Tharros, is that you?" She asked.

Sico holds Alexis's hand.

Damien and Kristoph were taken aback by the sudden darkness and the voice, however they regained their composure again rather quickly. "Okay then, we're stuck here with a bunch of strangers for a night." Damien muttered as he stretched his wings and arms. "Yeah." Kristoph grumbled in reply.

Jesse smirked and decided to respond to the sudden voice. "Yeah. Standing in a corner while my snake flew around being an idiot was rather fun."

Twilight let out a loud gasp of surprise and jumped. This caused the napping Chao to awake and wonder why things were so dark.

"Chao?" he asked, attempting to ask the Lycalo what was happening. Twilight's eyes began to glow as his night vision began to activate. "Everything's okay little buddy. Looks like someone might be playing a prank.." he stated. With his eyes adjusting to the increasing darkness, he was able to see his love not far away and approached her. "Luce? he called out, trying to get her attention. "You okay?" he asked.

Tharros was just about fully relaxed when the lights flickered off. This instantly tensed him up once more and he bawled his paws into fists by reaction. Wanting to stay by Dannah's side, he remained where he was. "I am here, Dannah. There appears to be something happening." he informed her, although he assumed she already knew.

"T t this is beyond freaky!" She cries to sico who is just standing there.

"Yeah, I'm here," Peggy croaked, surprised by the lights going out, and surprised by her hand being grabbed.

"Yeah, I'm fine, you?" Luce called out to Twilight, fumbling around the room, searching for him by the sound of his voice.

"Anybody else get the feeling we're gonna be staying here fer a while?" Blitz inquired.

"Good. Now, enjoy the rest of the party. The fun has only begn~" The audio voice called out, before the mic was cut.

A clicking sound could be heard from the hall way. Three wapid strikes before a soft and small yellow glow was emited. A person carrying a lighter walked into the room, in her left hand she held a lighter, in her right she held a glistening cleaver.
