Into the Netherworld (Real Terror Universe)

"To the pizza shop!" Lily said, pointing ahead.

"Shall we, Taryn-chan?" Thomas asked, offering his girlfriend his arm.

Taryn smiled and nodded, happily taking his arm, "Yes. We shall."

"Awwww, kodak moment." Lily said sarcastically, taking pictures with an imaginary camera.

"Your mockery is undeserved," Thomas complained, holding Taryn close to him with a smile, "Someday, you'll be behaving like this with Hanyer."

"PDA isn't really my thing." She said, making a face.

Hanyer smiled at his girlfriend. He was glad she said that. PDA wasn't his thing either. Charlie stopped and turned to her friends. She began to drag Hanyer forward.

"Move faster."

"Ok, ok Charlie. God don't rip my arm off," he laughed.

Lily chuckled.
"This is a good day." Lily said, resting an arm on Thomas's shoulder.
"Pizza, central park, Charlie got a boyfriend." She added the last part jokingly, and grinned over her shoulder at Charlie.

Charlie huffed at Lily mad that everyone was saying something about that.

"We just met! I barely know the guy."

"Me and Taryn 'just met'. Now, we're eating each others' faces," Thomas commented with a smirk as he entered the restaurant, pulling his girlfriend along with him.

"Relax, Char, I was kidding, I know you aren't like that. I'm teasing, like Lilys do."She said. Lily held the door open so Charlie and Hanyer could get through.

Hanyer walked through the door and hit Thomas on the head. He knew that it wasn't necessary but he didn't like everyone picking on Charlie. Charlie smiled at him.

"Thanks Hanyer. I was going to hit him myself."

"Sorry Charlie." Lily said, closing the door behind her.
"Hey, smacking Thomas is my job!"

Taryn laughed. She tried to pass it off as a cough for a moment, before she gave up and just settled for covering her mouth with her hand.

"Can't we all share hitting him," Charlie asked laughing. She took a seat moving over so Hanyer and Lily could sit next to her in the booth.

Lily scooted in next to Charlie. She could smell pizza and bread and garlic, one of the things she loved about Italian foods. "So Charlie, what happened to your umm... cat?" She asked, referring to the animal she had summoned, not wanting to talk about it out in the open.

"Hey! Only Taryn-chan can hit me!" Thomas complained, sitting down across from the others before giving Taryn the puppy-dog look and asked playfully, "Aren't you going to do something to make me feel better? My head hurts."

Taryn countered him with a smirk. She patted him on the head before sliding in next to him. "Better?" she asked, even though she already knew the answer to that.

"Oh he's fine. He's actually at my house," Charlie said. "I'm not allowed to keep all my er...cats there, but since this one is tame it's fine."

"Oh cool. Yeah, so when does your grandfather need us?" Lily asked Thomas.
"I want to be on time for my first job." She added sarcastically

"Probably sundown. That's his style," Thomas told her with a shrug before grinning at Taryn, "I was hoping for something a little more... tasty."

He winked at her with a smirk.

"Can we order now? I'm starving." Lily stated.
"I don't want to lose my apetite over you." She pointed a finger at them
