Saturday Evening

Walt blinked looking at the message from the Brights and smiled. "That Emma is something else! She's wasting no time! Approved, Friday. All of them."

(("Understood, Boss. Should I advise her to slow down?"))

Walt grinned looking into the fire. "Not at all. Tell her I want the other one I suggested next! But I don't want her burning herself out either."

(("Understood. I'll relay the message."))

Walt nodded. "Thanks, Friday. See which of our agents and assets are eligible for positions and would be interested in change of workplace and venue and be good fits. Completely voluntary of course."

(("Understood, Boss."))

Walt smiled watching the ladies having fun. Socializing, hanging out together, eating, talking, playing and dancing. It made him happy.

Penny leaned her head on his shoulder. "This is good isn't it?" Neo nodded and did the same.

Walt nodded too. "It is... it's as big a hit as our last "party" if not more so! And we'll probably have fun tomorrow as well, even if things go a little crazy... speaking of..."

Walt slowly stood up and cleared his throat as the music stopped. "If I could have everyone's attention?"

The ladies slowly stopped what they were doing and turned his way. "I just wanted to say a few things real quick. This has been a really great party. Thank you to everyone. From cooking to setup to cleaning up you've all been great!"

He looked around smiling. "I appreciate each and everyone of you and it makes me very happy to see you all... together. Moments like this... Today. This is what "family" means and is about. Sharing the good and the bad with each other. It makes me happy. I just wanted to say that to all of you before the wedding tomorrow... and now that I have, enjoy yourselves but I'm going to bed. Big day tomorrow. Try not to stay up too late, ok?" He winked and they smiled and laughed. "To all of us! Cheers and have a good night!"

"Cheers and good night!" The chorus of ladies cheered.

Walt finished his drink and found Neo and Penny taking his hands. They started to walk back home but had to stop about dozen or more times as almost everyone came over in groups of twos or more to wish them goodnight personally and thank them, especially Walt, with hugs and kisses.

Walt was especially pleased when Anastasia and Demona both said they'd enjoyed themselves. Even Pirotess commented that it was "loud but alright". He smiled as big as if it were a "mission success", which in his book it was. He did excuse himself though to walk over to Mystique.

"How about you?" He asked. "Thank you for attending. I hope you enjoyed yourself."

Mystique shrugged. "It wasn't bad. The food was good." She was patting Zwei. "Someone had to watch the fur ball after we got him cleaned up for tomorrow..."

Walt smiled. "Thanks Mystique. I'm happy for you."

She waved her hand dismissively. "I don't know what you mean... and I certainly didn't do anything for you!"

Walt smiled and shrugged then patted her shoulder and kissed her cheek. "Thanks anyway and I'm still happy for you. Good night."

He walked away and only just barely heard her softly say, "Good night." His smile became a grin.

Walt raised his eyebrow. Pyrrha was staying with Nora who'd volunteered along with Sasha and Ilulu to "help" with leftovers. She also wanted to make sure Nora got up early tomorrow. Raven was going to help using her telekinesis along with Glynda to assist Ahnassi, Lita and the maids with clean up. Ilulu was going to stay and "eat" the fire when everyone was done. Sienna, kali and Willow along with some of the cook staff walked back to the house with them. It seemed everyone else was giving them space and saying they'd join in cleaning or them later. At the house Sienna said she was going to the hotsprings and she'd be back later and Kali and Willow joined her.

Walt chuckled. "Well they all couldn't be more obvious."

Neo laughed too but Penny blinked. "Obvious about what?"

Walt looked at Neo who wiggled her eyebrows at him and he nodded. He knelt down and she perched herself on his shoulder as he swept Penny up into his arms carrying her to bed.

"Oh!" Said Penny with a growing smile of realization. She slowly nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You are not done yet and we are "next", I take it?"

Walt nodded as Neo took his hat off for him playing with his ear. "Seems that way... I suppose with a wedding tomorrow it's on everyone's mind. I take it you all know about Pyrrha earlier and Ahnassi and Lita?" They nodded and he sighed carrying them into the bedroom pausing long enough for Neo to hang their hats. "I suppose this is my duty too?"

Neo grinned and nodded enthusiasticly as he set them down and Penny giggled. "Seems that way." They both started to undress him and each other. "First us... then Sienna, then either Kali and Willow or Raven and Ilulu and likely the other pair in the morning... are you up for that?" She asked as Neo did the same silently. They both grinned knowing the answer.

Walt sighed but nodded. "Can do. As long as you all work it out I'll make it happen. But," he held up his finger, "it's an early start tomorrow... no over doing it!" They nodded and Neo shot the others a quick text with the "schedule".

Seeing them both together always excited him though... they probably didn't even need to ask. Neo cheekily posed her and Penny for a quick "dick pic" selfie before tossing her phone.

Walt sighed getting to "work". Who knows how things would go after tomorrow... or what surprises might be in store for them!

Sienna laughed looking at her phone.

"What's so amusing?" Willow asked soaking in the hotspring while Kali looked and laughed too beckoning her over. "You'll see!"

"Oh!" Willow blushed but smiled giggling. "She's quite the little imp!"

Sienna nodded. "She's trouble alright... but surprisingly the good kind!... soooo?"

Kali looked at Willow and took her hand whispering in her ear. Willow nodded, "Yes... I think so too."

Kali looked at Sienna. "You can go on without us. We need to get up early anyway. We'll take "wake up" duty."

Sienna smiled and nodded. "I'll let Ilulu and Raven know... well he did get a little rest at least!" Sienna smiled and winked causing the others to laugh.

Willow looked at Sienna thoughtfully. "Sienna... I had already talked with Kali about the Schnee and the White Fang but-"

"Save it, Willow," she told her shaking her head. "You don't have to say anything. I already talked with Kali. It was the past and it had little to do with you as a person... infact she told me how... difficult it made things for you. I'm sor-"

"No," Willow quickly cut her off and then reached put and took her hand. "No, Sienna. If I have nothing to apologize for then you certainly don't! You're correct. The past is the past... it's important to not forget it but live in the present stepping into the future."

Kali smiled. "Now you sound like Walter!"

Sienna and Willow laughed and then Willow nodded, "Maybe so." She then hugged Sienna.

Sienna blinked then smiled and hugged her back. "If so it's a good thing." They stayed like that for a little bit then slowly let go. "Alright," Sienna stood and stretched like a tiger flashing a predatory grin. "I'm off!"

Kali smiled at Willow and they both nodded. "Happy hunting!" They told her!

Sienna have them a quick look back and gave them a thumbs-up!

"Thank you," Willow told her.

Kali smiled. "I don't know what you mean but you are welcome."

Willow smiled and rested her head on her friends shoulder. "For talking to her... for knowing tomorrow might be easier to get through if I have his affection beforehand... I... have avoided weddings for a longtime now... but I find I'm almost looking forward to tomorrow."

Kali smiled and put her arm around her friend. "You will be fine. No matter what happens... all of us will be there for you... especially him."

Will w nodded and smiled. "I appreciate you... all of you."

Kali smiled, she knew what she meant. "And we appreciate and love you too, Willow. All of us including him."

Willow nodded and smiling wiped her eyes... then laughed. "We should drag him onto the dance floor tomorrow... after the girls of course!"

Kali grinned. "Oh we definitely will! He'll likely spend half the reception on the dance floor! What was that dance you and the others were showing robots called?"

Willow giggled. "It's actually called just that... "the robot"!"

Kali started laughing too!

Ilulu giggled at the picture Sienna sent her! "Another one! Maybe we should take a picture with it too!"

"Another what?" Raven asked using her powers to levitate objects and move them for the clean up.

Ilulu shook her head. "I'll show you in a bit... is it time yet? The fire looks delicious!"

Raven looked. Senko was just finishing up sending Sasha and the others gome with the last of the food and drink. She saw Raven looking and gave her and the others a bow before grabbing the last of the food and heading for home. They didn't want to tempt the bears.

Tsuyu and several of the others followed Pirotesses directions in ckeaning up. She seemed to know where everything was as if the forest itself was speaking to her. A missed bottle cap here, a lost sock in the bushes there. She, and through her they, missed nothing.

She finally nodded and then so did Tsuyu giving Raven a thumbs-up as they started for home. Pirotess saw and came over. "Just a few moments more Ilulu. Let the others get on their way."

"Ok!" Ilulu nodded humming happily thinking about things. "A fun day and now another tasty fire to eat... and then home to devour Walt and him to devour us!"

Raven blushed knowing Ilulu meant... and she noticed so did Pirotess who muttered, "Again?"

Raven wanted to ask but politely held her tongue... but Ilulu didn't! "Yup! So you noticed too, Pirotess? He was really receiving and giving a good workout with Pyrrha and then Ahnassi and Lita! Now he just finished satisfying Penny, Neo and Sienna! We're next, Raven and I, and then- Mhhhumm!" She mumbled around the blanket that Raven wrapped around her face as she turned bright red!

Pirotess blinked and then laughed! The situation. Them. Him... even herself. It was too absurd not too! It was an enchanting and lovely sound that seemed to delight the whole forest as it bounced from tree to tree and off the water. Raven actually forgot about being mad and embaressed.

Then Ilulu, being a dragon and above fey enchantment, joined in laughing along. It wasn't a musical fey laugh but a boisterous energetic laugh from a creature strong as the mountain itself but still playful as a child. It seemed to run about and play as it tumbled about.

Raven couldn't help herself and she started laughing too. At all of it. Everything was absured in this place and yet it made her laugh!

It was awhile before they calmed down. First Pirotess, then Raven and finally Ilulu who grinned. "So you like him too?" She looked at Pirotess.

Pirotess didn't answer but she smiled and waved over her shoulder as she walked away. "Enjoy your meals, girls!"

"Ready?" Ilulu asked.

Raven smiled she liked the darkness too... and she was ready to go home. "Yes... let's "go to bed"," she said taking Ilulu's hand.

Ilulu grinned. "Lets!" She devoured the flames and they headed for home, bed... and him.
