"I -meant- NO amount of money would make me want to walk away from you, Piper!!" He amends hastily.

👍 goes Zane

She shoots Zane a LOOK, but then grins. "Catch you later, Z." And is off with Adam for "lunch".

Zane smiles,and then? Goes looking for left over signs of cupid energies. If he can get a stray feather, well, that's the sort of thing a wanna be wizard can study!

(End Scene)

****************************************
Adam bursts into his room. "Nab?? Nab?!?!" He hisses.

A small genie looking like a sexier Barbara Eden says "you rang, o master?" Then she blinks, and now resembles Nab "Hey, what's up?"

He pauses. "Actually, I kind of like that look...."

"Nab! Oh, you gotta see this.... look inside my head." He flops onto the bed, as if on a psychiatrist's couch.

"I don't have to... it's burning up in there..." She shifts looking like Nadeen, then Dagmar... "And that's not even counting you and piper, am I getting this right?"

BOY Does he have an imagination.....!!

This is a combination of all the other thoughts about the same ladies.

"Yeah. Piper and me, at school, there's this closet near the gym..... we spent lunch there. Cupid was at school."

"CUpids," She plurizes "So they've target Rivervale eh? "

"I guess? I don't care.... man..... I mean, Dagmar makes sense now."

She rolls her eyes "Hate to break it to you, but I am 66.6% sure Dagmar is Bi, just very repressed"

He gives her a long look, then groans, his head dropping back. "DAAAAAMMMNNNN....."

"Yep. Drink it in, bucko... I'm dining as we speak" She grins

There's a lengthy silence as a movie plays out in Adam's mind.

"Damn." Almost prayerfully, after a time.

"The school, huh?" Puurring "I wonder if I can tackle one of those little cherubs. Sometimes they carry desire arrows and I could suck on those like a pixie stick"

"Symon was trying to find them, catch them. Maybe he knows something?"

"OH!"

He sits up so fast it's a mercy he doesn't pass out. "Nab!! Hey.....uh.... it's Valentine's day, right?"

"YUP. What did you forget?"

Instead of confidant or cocky, he looks a little nervous. "Well, uh. No, I mean, I've got something for Piper. We got to talk today, it's been a while. And, yeah, other stuff." A grin. "Uh. So, we're going to get together tonight. Mom and Dad are going out, and I'm going to give Lily, like, $40 and an Uber if she wants. Uh."

Amused, "Did you ever think you'd be sending a child out of the house with 40 dollars and an uber ride?"

A grin breaks through. "Naw, but it's AWESOME."

"Anyway.... so this was Piper's idea? But I'm 100% behind it." Seriously.

"Are you apologizing or trying to steal credit or just showing support?" She bounces onto his shoulder, her wing stroking an ear tip

"Support. She wants...uh, us. I mean, to offer you your choice of ride-along."

"You know what? I'll do it." A grin "id' be a fool to reject THIS meal"

"Listen, I know you said you're....uh, more built for girls, and that's cool with me if it's cool with Piper." Sincerely.

"Trust me, even when I'm riding her, both of you will be glad I did." Eyes shimmer "of course, she may end up owning your soul for a day"

Adam's eyes glaze over at ".... when I'm riding her...." for a bit.

"I'm....." he wets his lips "... I'm ok with that. Small price to pay."

"You're so brave" She kisses his cheek

"Nab?"

"Adam?"

"Just.... I kind of have ... some .... feelings? Ideas. No, maybe memories?" He shakes his head in frustration. "I don't know. But... something. That you and I.... uh.... we did it."

"oh," A blush "When the temptation to take over the world and such was going on? "

He thinks. "You mean... when Nadeen's dad was trying to... was being used to try and do that thing?"

"Right.. you told me I was full sized and... " A happy thought

"Yeah." A very fond.... or loving.... smile. "So.... if we do this....."

"It will be very close" A nod

"And... I'm glad about that. But I think we should tell Piper."

"Oh I thought she. .thought she knew we'd done it.. in that ..whatever it was?" Surprised "I..yes I know you want her to feel not lied to Sure"

"Well, just... you know, be sure. But.... I really do want this."

"Okay, but hey, if she doesn't like this... you know , if it turns her off. Try not to be angry. Even for changelings some things feel weird."

A deep breath, and he nods. "Yeah. Yeah, I get that. I mean.... from what I know, you'd think a satyr'd.... but yeah."
