Megan smiled at him as he let her catch his tail she give it a nice hug and gently rub her furry head along it. That was like her way to show other that she like them.* <tear that would be a shame if she push down all the sweet things. And we probably get into trouble and we don*t want that. At least I don't* She giggle and look at her uncle walking right in front of her nose she did get a little bit sad. Most because he did* look a lot like her father which officious was not that hard to understand sines they were bothers.* Do you like to help me find my present in my bag. It is just that mommy hat put the stuff down nice and if I try pulling it up I have problems putting it back* She smiled at Reth really hoping he did not ask him about why she got so sad.

*Well Darling we have a wonderful tour to the stats got a little late to the plane because of some personal problems. But Bella you don't have to talk about it we are all good. And papa have said that he will not do it again.* She smiled and gently pitch Bella in the checks

Bella look a little mad at her and gentle push her paw away. and did say something in italian to her that special not was a compliment.* Year Donna and Vincent was just over looking at some teater or opera houses she maybe could play in. But I guess Mama is not that big name here* she could not let go of a little giggle.

Vincent was over at the table and place his gift behind all the other. He always hat this thing that he don't want his gift to be the spotlight on the table. She saw Drake cumming over to him and smile at him in a gentle way.* Well hello sir. I am Vincent and is the birthday girl father.And you must be the rector I think I remember I saw a picture of you on a homepage*

"Sure I can help. Hehe, yeah they'd probably make us both stay late and clean everything up if we made a mess like that." He hadn't really noticed her getting sad, always focusing more on the good things around him. And when she mentioned present he was pretty happy again and totally missed her being sad.

"Hehe, well I hope the rest of your stay here is pleasant too. And why wouldn't it be, it's a birthday party. A time for happiness, gifts, caring, and all that good stuff."

"A pleasure Vincent, I'm Drake. Yes, not exactly the best photo of me but then again they never are when you need them to be right?" Drake was smiling, glad to meet him and get to know Bella's family a little better. He wasn't exactly totally outside the little circle of knowledge on what had been going on, an abduction attempt on his school grounds had definitely caught his attention and certainly indicated she was no ordinary student. Not that he'd let on about any knowledge to her family though.

Megan run over and find her suitcase and open it. She hat a lot of cloth and picture books and officious her favorite teddy bear Mr. Speal. A big round stuffed Speal from her favorite TV. show.* Hmm let's see not this one not this one.* She try not throw all the stuff out but not that easy. And finely she find a flat silver present whit a homemade gift card.* Yay I found it* She look around I guess I need to put all of this back so it dos not lay around almost every spot* She smiled at him and gentle begin to lay some books down in the bottom of it.

Donna smiled at her* Well yes and I am sure we are going to have a great time here in the stats and we are going to have a nice stay here. We have plans on going to the south and also to see the white House and we have plans on ending it in Mexico. But now it is your big day so why don't you go over and open your present *

Year but I am not sure not everyone has come here now. So Maybe I should wait just a minuet to see if more will come. * She look over at the present and smiled at Megan that begin to pack her things back into her suitcase it is so typical her to get all the stuff out to find the present. But her mother could also just lay it up on the top of the back.

*Year most the pic I got is not really that pretty but at least the person or persons that need to contact me know how I look. But not that many need me for the time. So you can say that it is a little dead business right now. So I begin to made a small politic party. But it is a little bit hard have I find out.* He smiled and look around at all the other guest and did see Megan that look a little bit sad on her. And he kind of fill the same way for her. It was not nice to know that he kind of have part of the blame for killing her father

"Ooo, looks nice. Here, lemme help." Though if they were older it wouldn't be nice to be sorting through a lady's things. However, as far as kids were concerned it wasn't so important and offering to help was the right thing to do. Reth wasn't much on social graces but he didn't need to be, she was nice and it was fun helping her. Besides mom was probably looking and making sure he was a good boy.

"Hmm, I think one or two more students are coming and that's probably it. Everyone else is here somewhere, got quite a few people that came though. Guess you're pretty popular huh Bella?" Of course in the area aside from her kids, her two brothers, and Verdy there was Athos and probably about a dozen other students at least. And all had presents for her, even Black was hanging around somewhere.

"Just about everything's hard to start up, but once you get things going it can really stay strong. I'm glad to be hosting this party, it's a good break from some of the everyday work I have to deal with." Like writing up reprimands, he hated doing that especially when it wasn't something serious.

Megan smild at him * Just make sure that Mr. Spheal don't get smased like a potato* She giggel and run ver to the table and put the flat gift on the table and smild at the big guy stading on the side og her. she run back to Reth and put backl the things in her bag* and now come the fun part to sit on it but don't want to hurt Mr. Spheal so I guess I just close it * She take the zipper and let it run

Donna smild and gently run a paw on the back of Bella to make her purr she always have a big plesure of makeing her purr whit only per her on the back.

Bella smild and gently purr * Well I would not call me popular. But I speak to one or other person but one or tow more person need to come befor walking over and open some of the present* SHe smild and see Megan runing over and put a present on the table and smild at Blake

* Well sure I think it is good to get away from anything sometimes. And I can wait to see her pyshic teacher I have her manny good things about him and also by the big guy over ther * he point at Blake He had heard some good thing about him from her daugther and give a frendly smile. But also give a look he need to find out what he was a person

Outside Ritzi was walking close to the gym. but he was not that sure if anyone would make fun of his new fur so he walk a littel alone in the back

Reth smiled, pulling a little notepad out of his pocket and writing something down in it. The Mr. Spheal was so cute he wanted one of his own now. "Hehe, bet he could bounce right back though I wouldn't want to have him try it. He's too cute to be getting squished like that."

"Aw give yourself credit Bella. You're a great person and you've made a lot of friends here in a short time really. And you're a good cook too."

"I know, that's why I've got them on my staff, heh. They're very good at what they do and don't think I could ask for anyone better. Doesn't hurt that one's my brother." Hmm, so he'd heard of them? That was both good and bad in a way, and he didn't need to have the bad part coming back on him. Oh well, they could take care of themselves. As long as Bella's dad didn't try to buy either of them out from under him and enlist their assistance, they were both supposed to be out of that kind of life.

Hehe Year Mr. Speal is the most awesome Pokemon you can get and he is always whit me where ever I go. But my teacher in kindergarten say I should let go of him sometimes so he don't get dirty if I am panting or playing in the snow.* She giggles and give a little kiss on the top of the suitcase she always do that she defiantly see him as her own little pet or baby. She smiled at Reth that he might want to have someone like him. She just really hope he did not steal Mr. Speal like some of the kids in kindergarten did.

Bella was blushing really much as she got the compliment* Well a little bit popular. But not to much like I can treat them like they are my slaves and don't want to do that. they might be mad at me if I begin to do a thing like that.* She smile and look at her mother how was really proud of her little girl and she probably will always be.

Vincent smiled at him he was not sure if he did now something about him too so he maybe have a bad look at him. It would be sad to break a good day like this just because they were not in the same business like him. But after all it was a free country and he hat not done anything wrong* Year It can be a good thing and a bad thing having a brother work for his company.* He did give a little sad look and look over at Megan that happy was talking to his new friend. He fill so guilty of the murder of her father so he really hope that he could make it up some way or some how.

the door got open and some of the students including Ritzi walk in the big gym and went over to Bella and give her a big hug and congratulation. But Ritzi was still a little bit shy of what he might say anything wrong the last time they went was great but the next morning she did act ind of wired to him so he was not sure. At least he got one CD he hat help mad whit some other guys so he thin that would be a good present

"Now I want one. Can't wait for my birthday so mom will have to get me my own, hehe, then they can play together." Reth wasn't aware that she probably wouldn't be in town for too long, if even past today. Still he was already taking a liking to her and wanted to spend more time with her.

"Well you probably can to a point, hehe, this is your birthday after all and I'm sure they want to enjoy the party. I can see where you get your looks though Bella, you have a very nice family."

"Well he's got my back anyway, and I've got his. You're welcome here at the school as long as you want to stay, heh, if you felt like taking classes you could even do that. I doubt the professors would mind having a person actually paying attention for once, heheh."

Verdy noticed the arrival of Ritzi and once he felt it was right he walked over and gave him a hug. "Hey, good to see you. Glad you came to the party, I hardly know anyone here, hehe." Aside from the birthday girl, the Drago family, and Athos of course.

Megan smiled at him he look really sweet to him* Year you can maybe sleep whit him or we can share him for the night if you mother let me sleep at you place. And she dos not have to say no Bella hat told that I can always sleep in her room.* She giggle and look at all the tall students cumming in the room and smile friendly at her * Is everyone this friendly to everyone?* She ask looking around at all the new faces she wrap her big fluffy tail around her so she could hold it. That is the best thing she know if she have not anything to do

Donna smiled at her pretty little daughter she know that her fur was from her and her eyes was from her dad.* Well thank you Crimson I can also see were your kids have the cuteness from. But year I gave Bella the normal leopard print and her eyes she got from the big man. * She smiled and gently look at her kids

Bella smiled at her she was a real sucker for kids she know that she try to be a child nurse but she did not have what it takes to be it.* Well you better keep an eye on her or ells she could take one of them back to Italy. * She giggles but know that the kids not could miss her mother that much time.

Vincent smiled* Well I am not sure that my girl would be that happy having her father around the school and keeping an eye on her more than I do now. It is more to make my wife happy she always ask how she is doing every time. But you probably know all about that.* He smiled and look over at her tow pretty girls talking together whit Crimson he probably want to go over and say sorry for the trouble he hat mad for her but he could not know that Don Milow would come

Ritzi smiled at him and blushing as he see him* Year good lie Mr. I have lived here almost all my life so I know every student I don't fall for that.* He smiled and gave him a hug and walk over and put his CD on the table* So what did you get her? I gave her a Cd I help making for long time ago

"Hehe, that sounds nice, better than having to share a room with one of my siblings. Yeah they're usually all nice around here, hehe, they're worried mom would hear about their secrets and spread them around if they're naughty. But I don't have secrets so sometimes I can get away with a little trouble, like tackling a sister or brother."

"Hehe, well I doubt she'd be able to handle them for long. They look all cute and cuddly but they also have dragon sized appetites and I know Black would be more than a handful for you. And I wouldn't let Scarlet out of my sight, she's too useful at the restaurant, hehe."

"Yes I suppose it would be a bit awkward. Mothers do tend to worry quite a bit, but we're keeping an eye on things and she's doing very well in her classes. Maybe even a little bored in one or two of them since she's doing so well. I'm sure my brother and Athos would like to see you too while you're here though."

"Heh, well I guess I can't fool you. I got her a little survival guide book and drew up a map of the woods inside it, including where not to go. Hope she likes it, then again I also kinda hope she doesn't decide to go looking in the places I marked as areas not to go."

Mega smiled at him. * That is the best part if you can get away whit just a little trouble. My mother is really careful around me because I am her only child so she a really careful- But she don't understand I want to go on adventure.* She giggles and smiled and look at all the nice people looking at her

Donna smiled at her and giggle a little bit* Well whir a husband like me is like having one big kid home and all the friends is also always around our Hus but after all we do have a big house,* She smiled and she love to talk about her big house that really was not her but she like calling it her.

Bella smiled and walk over to Blake and give him a nice big kiss and gently rub his chest* Are you having fun sweet? I hope you not bored. I can always make you fill good I know that* She smiled and look into his eyes and smiled gentle to him

Vincent smiled he know her little girl was really good at the school but not that happy to the creative classes * Well I am sure that she is doing her best. She just need sometime to get a little free time on her own or together whit some friend. And I be happy to meet him,* Even if he do know him from the past.

Ritzi smiled at him and look over at Bella and Blake * Well looks like you are not the date after all so I think I can have you all by myself. YAY* He hugs him tight around his hips and give little bark

"Hehe, you're kinda lucky, I'm one of five and I'm still kinda a middle kid. Not the oldest or youngest so I don't get a lotta extra special attention. So I can probably go on lotsa adventures."

"Hehe, I'd like a big house but I enjoy my home over the restaurant too. Maybe if I ever had a vacation house or something I'd want it to be really big, big enough to handle the five kids."

"Mmm, heh, yes I'm having fun and I'm taking a few looks at your family, nice family from what I can see. Still waiting for the moment when your dad comes over and wants to know more about me though." And enjoying a chance to hug her.

"Of course. We all need a break sometimes. Even if it isn't so much a break as it is getting a little support from friends and family." Yes, Blake and Athos would be polite and pretend not to know what they knew if it was necessary. Anything to be nice around Bella's family and leave a good impression. After all if her dad decided to take her away from here then they wouldn't be able to do anything for her anymore. Would mean less trouble for them but they'd probably worry more.

"I guess that's true, hehe. Let's just try to avoid making out in the middle of the party too much, hehe." Verdy gave him a big hug back and smiled. It was good to be able to spend time with Ritzi, their schedules had been a little difficult lately.

Megan smild and giggel to him and smiled gentel. * She gentel poke to him whit her tip of the tail and smild* You are also lucky you have brothers and sisters I would love to always have someone to spend time whit. But the other kids from the kindergarden is nice too spechal a husky named Konan. But my mom don't like me playing whit him becaous we play some wild games. Sometimes I wunder if mom hat ever been a kid* She smild and saw Bella hugs a big dragon* How is that over there? Is it Bellas date?*

* Well you are also welcome to visit our house if you ever want to give the kids a nice trip to Italy. But I can understand if you will not be able to You also have the resturant to take care of. but I am sure you got so many freinds to take care of the resturant* she smild at her and look over at some of the techer and some of the student. it look really good so she would not pull her out of the school

Vincent walk over to blake as he saw her talking to a big guy that look really happy to her dauther.* Well hello young man what is your name? I am Vincent and the person you are talking to are my girl* He smild and gave a littel look to find out what it was about him. that make him so hot in her dauthers eyes

Ritzi look a littel wird at him he could not understand why he would not make out right here well he guess that he was just think that it would be a littel wrongto do that out in puplic he was still in a relationship whit another man

"Yeah, but they don't always wanna play and my one sibling always likes to play mean games. Hm? Oh, that's uncle Blake. Yeah I guess he's her date today, he's nice. Lets me play with his clay in the art class sometimes. I made a fishy once, he said it looked great and he was gonna just do a few finishing touches for me."

"Oh yes, I know who I'd leave it in the hands of and I'm sure the restaurant would be fine with him. He's almost as good a cook as me and we like to have little competitions in the kitchen sometimes. I'll keep it in mind next time we plan a family vacation."

"An honor to meet you Vincent. I'm Blake, school security, substitute art teacher, and sometimes substitute teacher for some of the sports classes too. They're trying to convince me to be the baseball coach but doing it all the time I'd have to cut back on a few other things."

Verdy smiled, gently nudging Ritzi. "It's her time to be in the spotlight not ours, and making out too much we'd start to draw attention. After the party though, hehe, after the party you're fair game handsome." And he'd be more than happy to do anything after the party, but that would be a while yet and he'd have to try to contain himself until then.

awwwThat is not fair they should always have time to play whit one or their brother . * She smiled and look over at Blake he did look like a nice person. she could have fun whit if she was living at the school. * He looks like he can play hours whit him. * She smil and made some small jump up and down.

*Well I am sure that we can fine out a thing or tow to get you a nice tripe. we have a lot of room for you to stay in if you don't fill like getting to share a room whit the others* She smiled and see that her husband talking to the nice young man that look like getting into a relationship whit Bella but what could she do she was an adult and she got her own ways she need to find out how to be a adult

Bella smiled at her father just really hope he did not made her fill shame over her family she walk over to the snack table and took a glass of soda and smiled ad she see some of the girls cumming over and begin talking to her and was really interesting in her nice dress she got. She was not that familiar to get that much attention form some of the other girls but she could always try to speak her way out.

Vincent smiled at him* So Baseball.... Do you play sport by you self. You probably know that Bella like to shoot whit her bow and she really want to go to boxing. But because of Donna don't want her to do it because of all the scar she could get she never go into it. But I am fine if she do it. As long as she remember to get her helmet on. But I guess you look like that kind of guy that would remember her to do it if she got into a class.*

Ritzi smiled at him* Well sorry for being a spotlight diva for a second.* He blues really much and look right into his eye. He could also hear his little tummy rumble * Well I guess it is a good idea to get something to eat. Do you want something too?
