Chapter 106 - Can't Have Your Way Part 1

The water in the fountain dangeriously started to bubble and steam. Ariana gulped and suddenly remembered the words Callista said when they ran into each other. Ariana resolved her said and in a clear loud voice she continued. "threoir dom thuas. Tar amach leanbh na n-eilimintí agus bí mise kukui, treoraigh mé i rith mo chuairte. Ní bheidh deireadh leis an gconradh seo ach amháin nuair a bhainim céim amach. Teacht chugam mo chuid eolais!"

Callista stopped crying and looked at Ariana. The magic circle fixed itself and the water started to calm down. The lights from the objects shot forward, the light that formed was too bright for anyone to see but Ariana was able to just catch tiny streaks of colour shot into the light orb. She smiled and waited. The orb exploded and everyone was able to see the fountain. Floating right above were chibi animals of various colours. "Vasu come see your family!" Ariana shouted happily and Vasu shot out from Ariana's ear. The chibis quickly pounced on Vasu and Ariana. the Headmaster gawked and took a step forward. "More than one... extraordinary."

"Ariana you are really something special aren't you?" Flint said as he took a step forward, his eyes flashed with desire. Vasu shot out and stood in front of Flint in his full stag form. "Now, now. We will be having none of that." The Headmaster said as he clapped his hands. "Honestly, a familiar that is handed down is nothing compared to one that you summon yourself! These little ones have so much promise, so much potential... but we can look into that all of that on another day. Ms. Callista Bravo, I will be seeing you in my office immediately." The Headmaster said as he turned a murderous glare towards Callista.

Callista's eyes widened with fear, her body shook as her tiny lips trembled. "Please Headmaster, it was all an accident, nothing was intentional... I was so scared and am so sorry that I didn't -?!" She said with a trembling voice but the pressure in the room started to intensify making her shut her mouth immediately. "Ms. Bravo do I need to repeat myself?" He said with a calm tone but the undertones of his voice were anything but calm. "We will need some extra hands since Callista will be leaving us. Ariana why not stay behind and help with the clean up?" Flint said as he brought up his princely smile.

"Sorry Flint but Ariana has an appointment with my husband and I." Mrs. Dabney said as she stepped forward, she rubbed her swollen abdomen and Mr. Dabney took the hint. "Wife you go first, I will stay behind to help the Student Council clean up." Mr. Dabney said as he started to collect the dagger and scroll. "Oh no you won't! Rain you help out the students, Pascal you are not dodging this conversation again!" Mrs. Dabney scowled as she started to stomp towards her husband.

"But wife... the Student Council needs my help." Mr. Dabney whined but Mrs. Dabney was not taking any of that. She grabbed his ear and started to pull him towards Ariana. "But wife nothing! You said you were going to talk to her but you avoided her instead! I can't believe you how can you be so scared of a young woman? So get your a** in gear and help me have this conversation with her or so help me Pascal! I will smother you in your sleep or better yet I will stop making you your meals! You can live the rest of your days eating that package of sawdust you call rations." Mrs. Dabney hissed. Vasu watched them approach and quickly turned into a whirlwind of pink light. He rose into the air and changed back into his chibi self.

Mrs. Dabney then tossed Mr. Dabney towards Ariana and crossed her arms. "Well go on." She said as she raised a taunting eyebrow at her husband. Mr. Dabney turned a bright red and gulped. "Mrs. Drake can we continue the conversation you had started with my wife regarding my soon to be born, angel baby girl?" Ariana could feel her cheeks getting hot. She looked at the Dabneys and wondered if Lobo, Icarus and Xander were still watching over her. With a heavy sigh she reluctantly nodded her head.

"Fantastic!" Mrs. Dabney started. "You know we will need to walk and talk. I have a student with an appointment waiting for me at the infirmary and I can't keep them waiting. Too bad though I would have loved for you to come over to our place for dinner but honestly my feet hurt so much now from all the standing! I wish I was offered a chair or something but you know how it is with men! Honestly I just want to relax for a bit and have a nice soak but I know better, no soaking until this baby is born!" Mrs. Dabney said as she started to waddle towards Ariana. She hooked her arm and kept going, half dragging Ariana along with her.

"I'm a delicate human being but work is work and I have people who need me. I don't even think my replacement has been found yet and time is ticking! I gotta say that I am nervous about the whole thing though, me a mother! My goodness! Only if those jerks could see me now! Well not now, I feel some what large and unrefined but you know sometime after our daughter is born... well not right after either... I mean when I get my body back into shape and I have my daughter in my arms and my handsome husband standing beside me, then have the masses see me!" Mrs. Dabney rambled as they continued to walk towards the doors, down the halls and out the auditorium.

"Wife, you are missing the main point." Mr. Dabney sighed as he followed behind the two women. "My goodness yes! See this is why I have this one around!" Mrs. Dabney said as she winked at Ariana. "Pascal has something to ask you." Mr. Dabney froze and looked at his wife in horror. "You two talk. If I try I will forget what I'm talking about and then what would happen next? I will tell you what would happen next! We would have to meet up all over again and then the same thing would happen again! So go on Pascal." She said as she quickly stormed over to Mr. Dabney and pulled him towards Ariana. "Walk and talk, I have things to do."
