It was Samantha's eighteenth birthday, the youngest of their group of six friends was having one of the biggest parties. Miriel was throwing her a masquade ball. And on this special occasion Nate had seen to it that special allowance was made for her Gaia darker friends, namely Isla and Nephri and Xander, who weren;t normally allowed. Still, Nate was a much respected king, and to Miriel the young couple seemed a strong husband and wife and ruling pair. What they didn't know that lay below the serface was for the best. Sammy waited eagerly at the gates of the castle for her best friends to arrive. Parker, her true love and the man she had married first and the only man she had even know, was bringing Isla and Oz was bringing Nephri. The girls were all getting ready in main chambers, while the boys had been sentenced to one of the many extravigant wings. More excited than normal, Sammy had an excuse. She hadn't seen her friends in nearly three months, due to all sorts of problems between Miriel and Gaia.

Isla and Nephri had been blinked slightly to one side of the Castle by Parker before he walked himself in through another enterance. And she understood why. When they walked to see Sam, Is could almost smell her friend's intense wanting for a sight of her mate- It was the same on Parker. Taking a deep breath of Miriel's air, she gave a smile and ran into the now Queen of the Trees arms. "Samantha!" Smiling sweetly, she kissed her cheek. "Happy birthday." Giving her a smile that promised to tell her everything, she pulled Nephri along with her. "We got the most gorgeous dresses from your Aunt Talia!" She told her excitedly. "And then JC made us masks. Seriously, Sammy, I can't wait to show you!" But behind her enthusiasm, Isla carried her own sorrow. Tonight would be the first time she had seen Nate since the last night they'd spent together. In the twilight, he'd been her lover but, with the first ray of morning, he'd left their bed a King of Miriel.

Sammy hugged Isla in so tightly, although the wolf nearly knocked her over but it just didn't matter. She tugged Nephri in and hugged her too, wrapping her arms around both girls and just closing her eyes as she listening to Isla babble about dresses and masks. It felt like so long since she'd seen her friends and it was horrible
Drawing away after a supended moment she smiled, so full of excitement. "Aunt Talia is amazing, I bet your both going to look stunning, I can't wait to see them- oh I'm so glad your both here." Sammy nearly squealed with a childlike energy. "Come on, come inside, let me show you where your staying tonight and then you can fill me in on everything I've missed."
She was aware Parker hadn't come to the front of the castle, and she knew she'd have to wait until later to see him and be herself with him. The wait might kill her. Still, she smiled and tugged the two by the hands, under the pearly enterance into through the glass castle.

Nephri smiled softly and walked along side the other two but in silence. Her mind drifted to Oz and the boys. She wondered if Parker had lost the grief stricken expression in his eyes that had flickered as they touched down in the trees. This was her second time here. The first had been for the wedding and that had lasted three days. The second, Parker had invited his pseudo adopted brother for an Elvish holiday. The King had given him reign to plan the event- Even if it meant sneaking her in. Isla still didn't know... Neph and Oz had discussed it and decided it was easier not telling the girl. She herself knew how the wolf yearned to be with them. That the girl's pressures drove her to her more feral side... And she just prayed that everyone could behave tonight.

Sammy held both their hands, and gave them each a squeeze. She escorted them through the grandure castle, not opening a single door as a servant seemed to always meet them to do it. That or a guard to her husband would step in to place a little in front. She thanked each with a smile. But it didn't come fast enough that they were locked away in the main castle rooms.
A white dressed bed sat in the center of the room, and a wide beautifully flowered bay window opposite its posts. The room was decorated by Sammy's touch, with familiar things to her about it. Memories of her adventures in youth. The one misplaced item was the mans dresser on one side of the bed, where Nate would hold his part in the pretence of their happy marriage.
"Make yourselves at home." She told both, slipping off her shoes and sitting on the bed. Her friends around her made her feel younger than she did some days.

She moved to sit on the bed and looked around. "Its so lovely." She smiled genuinely and looked at Sam. "You're like a real Queen." Giggling, she lay back and looked up at the ceiling. "How does it feel?"

"Its challanging." Sammy told her, honestly. "It's really hard. I miss home, and gaia and you lot." She shrugged, and made a tray of drinks appear for her and her friends.

Nephri nodded, "We miss you too, don't we?" When Isla didn't respond, she nudged her sharply. "Is!"
Isla looked at them, eyes golden and nodded. "Yeh, Sam, we do. A lot."
