Loving You Is Magical

Chapter 3. Willow's Extravagant Party

So now that the transformation was over it was time for Willow's party. Her adrenaline was still pumping at high speed and now this party not only represented a birthday but also a brand new life. A secret life with her and her friends and a mom. She was all wound up. Willow couldn't wait for her friends to arrive. All of her friends the guys too. Mainly Smokey but she did have fun with all of them. It was just tonight she had a brand new array of confidence and she has plans for him. Her blue hair looked wonderful for her special night.

It was swept up with just a few twigs hanging down around her face.

She went off to find her dad and kill some time before they showed up. She found him inside folding napkins that was a sight she didn't see very often. Her party was going to go to be one of those for the record books. All her family and friends were going to make sure of that. The guys had been there most of the day helping her dad and Eliza set up. They had just left to go home and get changed. a few hours ago.

She studied him for a moment and fantasized that he was 4 feet tall with wings. All she could do was shake her head and let that image go just as quickly as it came.

"Okay daddy I understand why you couldn't tell me what was going on with me I'm not mad just tell me are you a Fairy too?"

"No, I'm not a Fairy Willow."

"Thank God. Sorry dad nothing against male Fairies, but I just can't see you as one."

"I am a Warlock."

She just stood and stared at him for a minute. "Like magical spells and that type of stuff?" she asked interested now.

"Just like that. I'm proud of who and what I am. I help a lot of people with all kinds of things that they need. No job is too small."

"How come I never accidentally found any hidden spellbooks?"

"Some of the house are an illusion. There are nooks and crannies hallways and spaces you'll never see unless you know they are there and you never knew I'm just that good." He replied blowing in his fingernails and scraping them back and forth on his shirt.

"Daddy you are so crazy!"

"And now we know why." he watched her expression.

Then she ran over and gave him a great big hug and kiss. I love you, dad. I love you too my little Fairy. He kissed her on top of the head.

"So you and mom were together. How was that even a possibility?"

"In human form, we are like functioning humans. Do you feel like a fairy right now?"

"No, but she is always with me."

"It is the same for every creature that presides in our world. There is always a part of this beautiful place that we get to call home that is with us. If it weren't we would just be able to choose as to what we want to be. It just doesn't work that way for us we all have a place we are needed in the human world. To be honest they would have a hard time living without us we all play a part in their world even if they don't know we exist. Although we are not always in our actual form we always know who and what we are. That part of us never changes and all those little voices in the back of our head are reminders of just that."

"What about Eliza?"

"It's not my place to indulge that. You will have to ask her yourself."

"What if she's just human? I'll embarrass myself."

"She knows who and what I am. Maybe that will give you an in with her. Besides that she loves you no matter what you say or do would you ever be less in her eyes. I'm not saying that we are not known to some humans. There are even some of us who take chances and fall in love with a human. If this happens you have to tell them and then they are free to make their mind up. It is another one of our laws. There is a book in your school library the girls can show you where it is. Make yourself very familiar with it has all your answers to your questions about our kind. It doesn't matter the question it will have the answer you are looking for. The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked."

"I'll go to her when the time is right I'll know it."

"You said earlier mom told you. Does that mean you saw her?"

"Yeah, I did. I was still in shock from turning into a 4" fairy with Fairy wings who by the way still doesn't know how to fly by the way. So mom was a wonderful surprise but not a shock."

"How was she? How does she look?"

"Good and beautiful as you remember I'm sure."

"She always was cute as that little Fairy."

She said she might make a brief appearance tonight if she can slip away.

"Good, we look forward to seeing her. It's been a while."

"Has she come here before?"

"Several times to check on you as you were growing up, but we had to be so careful. So her visits got farther apart and less time was spent while she was here. We would have to black out all the windows with dark shades. You know our nosey neighbors. I couldn't have a wife coming back from the dead. Half of them were at the Funeral for Christ

sakes."

"That makes sense. Won't we be taking a risk tonight?"

"Some chances are worth taking and a little bit of magic never hurt anybody. You'll find out what and how this works as you step into your new role. Besides your party is going to be booming so loudly they won't know what hit em."

"You're so funny, daddy! Well, I'm going to push off and see if any of the gang has arrived."

" Don't worry if someone spots them first they will just put them to work doing something. Eliza should be down shortly so that she can start on the food or should I say keep working on it. She has spread herself thin today"

"How many people are coming to this party of mine?"

I'm sure a few hundred will be in and out at different times. You've got to remember this is not only your birthday it is also a coming-out party. You will meet so many people tonight your head will be spinning by afternoon. The party will however go on until 1:00 am the same time it started tonight. You will find your sleeping habits have changed too. You will be a little more high-strung than usual and you will need far less sleep."

" I can feel it already." That was the last thing he heard he looked up and she was gone."

That was okay with him. He needed to step away from the napkins and go outside for a much-needed cigarette break.

He could feel Smokey coming way before he stepped in beside him. He was meeting him step for step. I know you're anxious but let me get just a few drags off this cigarette. He pulled his cigarettes out of his pocket, opened them, tapped on the bottom, and one cigarette popped up above the rest. He turned the pack toward Smokey.

"Here let's smoke together and calm you down."

Smokey took the cigarette and lit it. Then Willow popped into his mind. When she took that long drag off his cigarette and how sexy she looked doing it. It sent his heart reeling again.It only took Charles one look to know he was in agony.

"She's fine Smokey. Better than she has been in a while. She's not shaken up anymore. The last time I saw her she was in the house awaiting your arrival. I know you have feelings for her and she returns them. My advice to you would be to ask her out now before someone else snags her up. She has accepted who and what she is. She is even excited about it. Share in that excitement with her and remember there will always be bumps along the road. Just remember to buckle up and enjoy the ride."

"I've already seen her that is not what I am nervous about. She and I mated up. Now I have to take her and tell her about Fearless."

"The best way to do that is to just rip the band-aid off. So to speak. She'll take it just fine I'm sure she asked me today what I was and I told her. She took it well. It's going to go smooth I promise. Just trust in her and yourself. You're star-crossed lovers I've seen it for myself. The morning the two of you were born. That's right it's your birthday too. Happy Birthday, son, you're both going to get your wish tonight."

With that Smokey was off to find her. Charles just shook his head, Teenagers, are what he thought wouldn't be great to be back then when life was carefree and easy.

Willow had run-up to her room to get Smokey's gift. His Birthday is on the same day as hers. They normally would celebrate together. This year was a little different. She had already wrapped his gift. It is a copy of Loving You Is Magical by Tambra Satoe. He loved to read and he always liked trying out new Authors so this is what she went with. Also a bottle of his favorite cologne Fahrenheit. Then she ran back out to look for them.

Soon after Smokey departed he saw Jesse, Ginger, Dawson, and Gina walking across the front lawn. His thoughts were of his daughter these are all her best friends. She's eighteen and in love for the first time. Most of all he thought of all the adventures these six were about to embark on together. Their passion for love and life would take them all on a journey of a lifetime if they only embrace it and not overthink it.

Eliza walked up behind him pressing her body against his back and wrapping her arms around him kissing him on the back of the neck.

"What are you in such deep thought about?"

"Just. youth and life and those six teenagers we love getting to experience it together. They truly don't know how lucky they are to have each other."

"Now you don't think it was luck that brought them together. There is always destiny and a purpose."

The music started to play and he spun her around in his arms and kissed her until they were both crazy in lust and they laughed and danced together until the song was over.

They bowed to each other and he said, "Thanks for the dance beautiful." Then he winked at her.

"Flattery would normally get you anywhere but not tonight. There is still a lot of work to be done and guests will start trickling in and out real soon."

"Okay Angel, I'll let you go," he replied lifting her hand to kiss it. Only later tonight it will be our time and you know what means one hell of a fire blazing in the bed in our room."

"Can't wait," she said, "Now get back to work Mr. Hot Stuff and I'll take you up on your offer later." Then she smiled, winked, and walked away but not before slapping his ass first.

"Hey girl that type of spark will turn on the flame inside of me," he called after her.

"I can't wait!" she called back over her shoulder.

The D.J. showed up and they took him to where he would set up his equipment. He had all types of music from the chicken dance to the cubic shuffle. He wanted to make sure he had the new music that the kids of today listen to. He also had the music the adults would enjoy. He was told there would be a mixture of people and they would be all ages. Jeff was a werewolf and friends of the guys. They recommended him.

This is a place where all could be who they wanted to be whether they were creatures or humans. Tonight it was their choice. For tonight they were getting to share in great honor. They were getting to meet Willow the Keeper Of Souls.

Willow heard new voices inside her head this time it was Ginger and Gina. "We're here. Meet us out front." She could hear the fun bubbling over in their voices.

"Okay," she thought and her message came through loud and proud.

She went to meet them out front and, low and behold, there they were. So she had heard right. There was so much she needed to learn, so much, about this Fairy stuff. She was so distracted that she ran straight into Smokey. Their eyes met and they were gone the sparks were so strong she could feel her whole body heating up to the core. They had connected on the next level.

"I told you they would be ours and now they are ours," Twilight said to her.

"Yes you did. Do you think--wait a minute--you said they and ours. What did you mean by that?" Willow demanded an answer from her.

"All in due time, Willow, all in due time. Didn't you see those fireworks and feel their heat. He is in love with us hands down. She didn't dare make the mistake of saying they again. She had been so wrapped up in finding her mate that she forgot that Willow still did not know about Smokey's secret.

Fearless was in the back of Smoky's head. "You need to tell her before it goes any further. My mate is relying on you to do the right thing here too. So that we don't lose each other either. She has already gone through enough shock just having to deal with all the changes in her own body. Don't start this thing out with more secrets. I honestly don't think she could take that from you."

"I hear you. I'll take her somewhere private and I will just tell her I need to show her something and change."

"Okay. I'm going to hold you to that. I mean it Smokey. This is going to go better by handling these types of issues upfront so there is never any lack of trust between the two of you." Fearless told him straight forward.

"Just let me have a peaceful moment with her incase she is so shocked that she never wants to talk to me again. She is mine and I am hers. I can feel it stronger than I have ever felt anything. We are soulmates. All of us."

"Then you already know how I'm feeling on the inside about Twilight and I haven't even seen or spoken to her yet. So just imagine someone messing that up for you and you having no control over it whatsoever. This is my life as much as it is yours. So just make sure when you make decisions that are as important as our happiness that I am always in the back of your mind and that you don't forget. How you decide to handle things not only affects you but it also affects me."

"Willow we need to go somewhere private for just a few minutes. I need to show you something."

"Okay," she said leading him away from the crowd. She was nervous about what he had to show her and say to her.

He started with I know you are a Fairy and the reason I know this is because and "BOOM" an extraordinary glowing royal blue Dragon appeared and Smokey was no longer the one that was before her. Now it was Fearless hovering in the air above her. He was the most beautiful creature she had ever seen. Her heart skipped a beat and then all of her heart, mind, body, and soul fell in love with him. All of him. She knew for a fact then that he was her soulmate and forever bound to her.

"Will you say something please?" It sounded as if he were begging her or that maybe he had doubts about her love for him. He could not argue with the sparkle in her eyes she was his completely and he knew it in his head as much as he felt it in his heart.

"You are amazing and you are mine and I am yours from this day forward," she replied, and then as smooth as the change was from Smokey to Fearless, Smokey was once again standing in front of her.

"What is your dragon's name?" she asked him.

"Fearless. Your Fairy's?" he asked.

"Twilight," she told him with her head held high.

Then he touched her face bent down and kissed her with so much passion and love that fireworks were going off in the sky around them and it felt as if they were swirling down below them. As their lips parted to breathe the other one in, they were hovering above the ground and the firework show was so intense that they could feel their souls connect in the beautiful flashing of the lights surrounding them.
