Tears streaming down her face, still laughing helplessly, Diurnal crawled over to Trouble and pulled herself into a shakey sprawl across his lap. "You're -- oh god! -- you're an Angel bot! Trouble, you're my hero!" Tear-blind, she planted a sloppy kiss somewhere in the region of his chin and rolled onto the couch cushion next to him. "I nearly peed myself; thank god for kiegels!"

Someone -- maybe Fangy? -- said, "I'll second that," and there was a general chorus of assent around the room.

When she could breathe more-or-less normally again, Di asked, "Is it still out there? Someone check. I don't want to hafta start throwing cows."

Before anyone had a chance to move, a knock sounded from the door.

******************************************************************************************************************************

Angeline and Seth drove up to the driveway. Seth grinned at the sign. "Would you look at that luv?
Can't we have one of those?"

Angeline rolled her eyes, "I don't think we'll have any more Rileys rocking up to our house..."

That was when they noticed the figure standing on the doorstep.

Seth's eyes narrowed, "Is that who I think it is?"

Angeline bit her lip to keep from bursting out laughing. "Oh God...Peirce is not gonna be happy about this."

"I wanna know how that ponce got here before we did."

Angeline's eyebrow rose, "Ummm Seth dear...are you forgetting our little...detour?"

Seth grinned at her, "Right...how could I forget?"

They walked up to the door, the Riley turning to face them. When it saw Angeline, his face paled and he backed away from the door.

Seth growled at the thing, making it stumble backwards. Angeline knocked on the door, waiting to be let in.

*****************************************************************************************************************************

Trouble opened the door quickly preparing to berate the idiot Riley yet again, and almost bit his tongue when Lin and Seth appeared.

Lin laughed at his flummoxed expression and breezed past him, Seth in tow. Fangy bounded up to her and hugged her, spinning her around in his arms and giving Seth a dirty look at the same time.

Di and Loki waved at Seth, so he ignored Fangy to go greet the others. Trouble finally closed the door, noting the Riley attempting to follow Seth, and made his way over to where Seth, loth and Loki were hanging out.

"So where's Deli?" Seth asked curiously. "We've been following this saga the whole time, and I'm kinda curious to see what our lil drama queen will pull next."

Loth snickered first, then the other bots followed, eventually joined by Fangy. "You know she'll kill you if she heard that Seth," he said when he finally caught his breath.

Fangy grinned. "She and Raj are still putting the final touches on or some such nonsense."

Loth rolled his eyes. "Now who's being dramatic?" he asked laconically.

"We'll just have to wait," Di said matter of factly. "Let's watch a movie. She's got a kick ass collection."

****************************************************************************************************************************

"She's with Raj is she?" Angeline snuggled deeper into Fangy's embrace while he nuzzled her neck. Glaring at Seth who just grinned at the smugly.

"Yeah luv, have you made up your mind about Raj?"

Fangy tried to keep his voice neautral, but Angeline heard that note in his voice anyway. A small smile formed on her lips, "I have."

"Lin luv I think..."

"Shush..." she pressed a finger to his lips. "Later."

She drew him close for a kiss, effectively silencing any protests he might have before leading him to join
the others.

"So...what are we watching?"

****************************************************************************************************************************

Loth nudged Seth, who was busy sending death stares at Fangy's back, and they headed over the DVD racks. "Well, there's a lot here.... "

Loki piped up, "Di, what do you think?"

The boys looked at Di expectantly, waiting for her come pick something out. Trouble sat on the couch, giving Fangy a thumbs up behind Seth's back, and popped open a beer. "Whyn't you get the guests a drink Loth?"

Loth glared at him. "Cause I'm not a bloody barmaid, you git. Oh, wait. You did say guests." He looked at the assorted clones, bots, and mistresses about the room. "We got booze, beer and wine. And lots of it."

Seth looked at him as if he were crazy. "Don't you think they're going to drink enough at the p--" he started to say.

Loth grinned and shook his head. "When is enough really enough with these ladies? Wait till Shelby and Fen get here."

With that, he went to open the lock bar cabinet so everyone could serve themselves.

Di waited for the fuss over the new arrivals to die down. While the boys were arguing good-naturedly over the movie selection, she prostrated herself on the floor before Angeline.

"Oh great and bounteous Angeline, thy most humble and obedient minion thanks thee for bestowing upon us the glory of thy presence!" Grinning slyly up and the blushing face, Di commenced kissing the hem of the girl's skirt. "Diurnal sits at thy feet in thanks and fraptious joy! How may this one serve thee in any small way?"

Angeline looked down at Di suspiciously. "Uh, Di? What do you want?"

Di sighed and climbed to her feet. "Hey, gimme a break," she said, hugging Angeline. "I've never been a minion before. I'm making up the protocol as I go along."

"Hey Di? Might want to decide sometime this millenia," Loth teased.
