EJ offered, “It’s not last minute. Alexander sent me an email about it, and Elise has been working on the party.” Elise said, “It’s handled between Haley and I. Ladybug will have her party, and now Dylan can talk about this fight.”
Dylan said, “For that, I thank you Elise. Who knew no one else calls the visitor we now hate Chey? MMSGAP’s face sayshe did not.” Elise snorted, “Her eyes twitched when I called her Chey, and I didn’t say it with derision like Ladybug is.”
Buttercup said, “I knew Cheyenne only liked it when Alexander said it.” EJ asked, “Where were any of you with that information?” Mom snorted, “As if any of you would’ve understood what they were saying. I love you, but you would’ve said ‘well, we call her Chey’ and moved on.” Buttercup laughed.
Dylan laughed, “Chey hired a private investigator.” Fury filled me. I growled, “She better not have.” Oden snarled in my head. Dylan said, “Uhh if your mate, who is the worst liar of all time, says she did then methinks she did.”
I told EJ, “We need to know who the Private Investigator is. They can’t look into Melanie, or they might discover what she is.” EJ agreed, “We will find him.” Sierra handed Phil a piece of paper. Phil announced, “Found him.”
Sierra rolled her eyes and said, “No, I took the name from Melanie’s program and gave it to you. You did not find him.” Gage said, “I’m taking it as a win.” Dylan interjected, “Let the poor man have his moment, Sierra. He’s MMSGAP’s Beta for god’s sake.”
Sierra said, “Who should probably get used to me getting the information from Melanie to give to him.” Dylan continued, “Phil has to keep his Alpha calm, so he doesn’t go full Psyduck all the time. He’s basically a ticking time bomb twenty-four seven. Think of the poor Beta and Gamma.”
I growled, “I’m not a ticking time bomb.” Dylan patted my head sarcastically saying, “Of course you’re not.” Then he whispered, “He is but we say he’s not sarcastically.” I rolled my eyes. Gage linked me, “You doing ok?” I snorted, “My friend is apparently trying to make my mate jealous. How do you think I’m doing?” Gage just bobbed his head.
I asked, “How much does Melanie know about Cheyenne?” Avery giggled, “You mean Chey? The better question is whatdoesn’t Mel know? Chey has an online journal. Which is just such a mistake.” EJ roared with laughter. Dylan asked, “Ohhhh that’s delightful. Is the journal called my deepest desires for the one and only MMSGAP?”
Lacy snickered, “God, please let it be the name.” Dylan said, “I think it might be, because I think that would drive MelAshley into a rage. I mean the last girl who said he was hers got her back broken. One can only hope the thigh crusher and back breaker comes into play here.” Elise bit her lip.
EJ sighed, “Ladybug can’t kill Cheyenne.” Dylan laughed and told EJ, “Yes, she absolutely can. Will she? I just don’t know. Can she? That I do know. She can, easily. Seriously MMSGAP, you were taking it so easy on Chey. What’s the matter with you? Are you feeling ill?”
Currently the only thing wrong with me was not knowing I was an idiot. That’s what was wrong with me. Oden sighed, “You said it.” I retorted, “A heads up would’ve been nice, buddy. You didn’t think we were taking it that easy on Cheyenne. Not having a lot of intensity isn’t the same.” Oden agreed, “That’s true.”
Melanie turned her head to the side to look at me. Dylan snorted, “For the Alpha’s and non she wolves information, you might think MelAshley just wants to see her mate with that move, buttttt you would be wrong.” Huh? How would we be wrong?
Dylan continued, “MelAshley is showing her mark off and pissing off the charging she wolf. Who fell hook line and sinker for that move. Right on, MelAshley! You rock on with your special Beta blood!” We all looked at him.
Dylan asked, “What? I can’t say the other thing because there are outside ears around. If anyone would sell MelAshley out in a heartbeat; I’d put money on Chey down there.” I growled menacingly along with the McAlister’s.
Dylan said, “Now, now calm down Psyduck. Beta Phil and Gamma Gage activate your special calming Psyduck powers. I already know the McAlister’s clocked that tea, so they are fine.” My attention was brought back to the fight. Dylan had been right, Melanie was baiting Cheyenne into attacking her.
Melanie easily bust Cheyenne’s lip right open so badly it might need stitches, then flipped my friend onto the ground with a thud. Dylan winced, “Ouch. Split those lips right open. Guess who can’t kiss your cheeks no more Mini Moody.” I winced and rubbed my face.
Dylan added, “A rib definitely cracked there. Cheyenne’s back is not broken though, so she should consider this a win and run with it. Seriously. She can still run. That’s more than most who fight our dear MelAshley can say.” Jason snorted.
Tristan questioned, “Has anyone told Melanie telling someone you’re better than them does not make them stay down? Because that is information I would’ve imparted to my sister by this stage of life.” Paige said, “If you think Melanie wants Cheyenne to stay down, you clearly aren’t paying attention.”
Abigail snorted, “With that tone she used? No. She’s usually quieter when she encourages people to stay down.” Addison said, “It’s not like they were ones reading the crazy ranting of how much Cheyenne wants Melanie’s Xander.”
Paige snickered, “That’s true. We were the ones who had to deal with that.” Gage sighed, “I hate all those words.” Dylan said, “You hush. Ok girls, you all have twisted my arm metaphorically. So, I’ll ask. What pray tell, Glinda the Good Witch happened when Melanie read the possibly psychotic rantings of Chey down there?” Lacy muttered, “Nothing good.”
Paige said, “Well once we found her drunk, somewhat pissed off, and with a broken laptop. She was going to call Cayden and ask him to take her to the Hackura realm for a fight. So, wetook her phone.” Cayden cut in, “Why? For the love of god, why not just let her freaking call me?! Nooooo. We had continue this ridiculous situation.”
I didn’t even know he was here. Oden offered, “I scented him if that matters.” I grumbled, “You’re keeping too many secrets lately.” Paige said, “That wasn’t our intention, Cayden. When you think about what we thought we knew, not letting her call you was the right decision.”
Cayden snorted, “Fuck your point.” Dylan said, “What an adorable exchange. Back to the point the Alpha bloods all missed, along with justifiably annoyed Commander man. One of you tell me how we unlock Drunk MelAshley. I bet she’s super fun.”
Paige snorted, “Drunk Melanie is hilarious.” Dylan declared, “I have a mission everyone!” Dad groaned, “Great.” Dylan said, “You mutter under your breath LSGAP, but you will enjoy the fruits of my labor. Drunk MelAshley SHALL appear for her birthday party. It is my mission, and I choose to accept.” Addison laughed along with Avery, while Lacy smiled at her mate.
Tristan surmised, “I can imagine a drunk Ladybug has less of a filter than regular Ladybug.” Paige said, “You’d be correct. Anything you want to know, ask and Drunk Melanie will tell you.” Cayden cut in, “Again, where was this advice for the last several years? I knew we should’ve gotten her drunk.”
Addison laughed, “She was always at the top of her game when you were around. She didn’t want to mess up. Plus, it’s not like drunk Melanie is a regular thing. She drinks but not enough for Drunk Melanie to come out.”
Dylan said, “I hear what you’re saying. Here’s where you’ve misstepped. A drunk alter ego needs a different name. You should’ve named her alter ego at minimum Jane, since that’s hermiddle name, or something. Personally, I’d have given a name fulfilled of pizzazz.” Paige cackled while I rolled my eyes.
I winced when Melanie and Cheyenne traded jabs. Melanie had a point, because Cheyenne was not fighting well at all. I linked EJ, “Cheyenne is not usually this bad, is she? I’ve seen her fight at her pack.” EJ answered, “So have I. Either Melanie is right and they take it easy on her or…” My big brother trailed off.
Eventually EJ said, “Actually no there is no or. They take it easy on her, and I guess we matched that in our fighting styles.” I frowned because I’d never done that before. Why would I do it with Cheyenne? Oden and I snarled when Cheyenne tried to put Melanie down for calling me Xander.
