|Chapter Reviews: 1
Background: Font color:
I stare at my son who is holding hands with a Weasley. A Weasley. I couldn't believe my eyes.
Don't get me wrong, I love Hermione and her family. But I thought the letter that Scorpius sent a while back was just him being lovesick crazy. I never thought that it was going to happen. And partially because I'm a Malfoy, so the blood purity feeling comes back into view. I look to Draco who looks as if he's going to explode in anger any second.
"Rose?" Ron says standing up from his seat. "What is going on here?"
Scorpius lets go of Rose's hand and steps aside. "What do you mean Dad? I was just told to come here."
Hermione touches Ron's arm giving him a silent signal to calm down. The two sit back down, Draco decides to follow.
"Scorpius, Rose. Take a seat," McGonnagal orders and she flicks her wand and two chairs in between the two couples. Rose sits down on her parent's side as Scorpius does the same.
McGonnagal puts her glasses down. "As Mr. and Mrs. Weasley know, Rose and Scorpius had a little problem in Potions class this Tuesday."
"A little problem?" Ron says. "Excuse me, Headmistress, but I think it's a bigger deal than that."
"Well what exactly happened?" Draco asks avoiding even looking at the Weasleys
"Well, Rose started by talking back to Professor Celia Umbridge. She was then taken out of the room and Scorpius defended Rose," Headmistress explains.
"You defended her? That halfblood?" Draco says glaring at Rose.
Rose looks away from Draco. She's obviously intimidated by Draco.
"Rose," Hermione says reaching over Ron to touch Rose's arm. "It's going to be okay." Was she crying from what Draco said?
Rose nods and turns around and faces McGonnagal again. "What's going to happen then?"
"Well, seeing that today they face their punishment, and since I'm talking to you, I can't really thi-"
Madame Pomphrey rushes through the door. "Minerva!" She shouts. "It's Celia!"
McGonnagal stands up and rushes out. "I'll be back," She calls out as she goes with Madame Pomphrey leaving us alone.
"Why would you do that Scorpius?" Draco hisses at his son. "Have you no pride? And you were holding hands with *it* also!"
"Oi!" Ron says standing. "You're talking about my daughter you know," He threatens.
"Ron, please," Hermione says. She looks to me. "Look, by the looks of Madame Pomphrey, it looks as if Professor McGonnagal isn't going to be back for a while," She smiles at me. "How about we go get something to eat. Rose and Scorpius can come of course."
I look to Draco who is glaring at Ron. "Yes," I say speaking for both of us. "We'd be happy to join you."
We decide to go to Three Broomsticks. The six of us sit down and stare blankly at our menus.
"Can I help you," The waitress says looking at us. We all are silent. I glare at Draco who's glaring at Ron who's glaring at Rose who's staring at Scorpius who is looking down at his menu. It's an on going glare-a-thon.
"Just six butterbeers please," Hermione finally pipes up.
The waitress gives us all a funny stare as she walks off to get six butterbeers.
Minutes of silence and glares tick on. "So," Hermione starts. "Hermione, have you thought of any names yet?"
"Well." I say looking to Draco. "We were thinking of the name Phoebe or even Zona. We wanted to keep the same pattern with constellation names."
"Beautiful name choices," Hermione says. She looks nervously at Draco as if he was a ticking time bomb, waiting to explode any minute.
"Well I never got to talk to you after the appointment," I say as I begin to pick at the fuzzies on my jeans. "How did that go?" As if this conversation couldn't get any more awkward.
"Oh very well," Hermione says smiling. She grabs Ron's hand. This causes Draco to grimace. "We found out we're having twins!"
"Wow Twins!" I say smiling. "Did you hear that Draco?" I say almost roping him into this conversation.
"Oh yeah, I heard," He says quietly. "Erm, congratulations," He says quietly as he goes back into his silent stare.
Hermione quietly nods "Thanks," She looks down at her hands. She then turns to her daughter. "So Rose. Anything new?" She says hinting to Scorpius.
"Nothing," Rose says picking off her chipped nail polish.
"Rose," She warns. "I think now might be a good time to say something." Hermione says quietly.
Rose gives quick glances to everyone at the table. "Scorpius and I -" She stops her self and takes a deep breath. "We're going out," Draco groans as well as Ron. "He asked me today." She says quietly looking down.
Hermione beams at her daughter. "Congratulations!" She says.
I hold my breath. Is this really happening? Could a Malfoy be dating a Weasley? I don't know how to take this. I thought we brought him up differently. Draco looks as if he's going to strangle someone. I can't look at Scorpius, how could his choice be so ... wrong.
Wait Astoria! This is the blood purity talking! You have to be happy for your son! You have to! Then again, that halfblood! Your grandchildren are now going to be 1/4bloods! This is not going to work out!
Draco looks down sadly. "Dad?" Scorpius asks looking to his father.
He stares up as the butterbeers finally show up. I take a sip. Draco looks to his son. "How? Why?" He asks glaring.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"I'm talking to Scorpius," He says to me which causes me to go silent. "Why?" He says to Scorpius.
"Dad, what do you mean?" He asks looking embarrassed.
"Why as in Why? Why her?" Draco says now looking at Rose who is still scared of Draco.
"Dad I-"
"I mean look at her!" I groan as this whole spiel is starting. "She's not even good looking! And did you even forget the fact that she's a halfblood and a Weasley!" He shakes his head and looks down at the table.
"But she's-"
"Did you even forget she was a Weasley? And partially a Granger? Her parents are responsible for the downfall of the Dark Lord! I thought you would care about that. And look at her! Red hair! I bet you it's frizzy in the morning!" He begins to pick out critiques in Rose.
"Now you listen here!" Ron says slamming her hands down. "I don't want to here one more damn thing out of your fucking mouth about your son or Rose," Hermione lets out a small gasp at his choice of words.
"Honestly, Malfoy! Scorpius is obviously happy being with Rose. So I suggest you stop talking before you get another broken nose," Hermione sneers.
"And there it is Scorpius." Draco says back to his son. "This mudblood mouth off over here is her mother! You don't want to deal with a clone of that now do you?"
"Hey," Ron says glaring at Draco. "You might want to stop your bullshit now. First you insult my daughter, then you insult my wife? You might want to watch it."
Rose covers her face in her arms. Draco looks to her and back to Ron looking amused at what Ron just said. "Yeah Ron? Who's going to stop you?"
I groan as I look up to the ceiling. Why did I agree to go meet up with Hermione's family? I thought that this was going to be perfect!
I can feel my face go white. Why does this always happen whenever the Malfoys and the Weasleys try to make things better?
"Ron." I hiss. "You need to stop!"
Ron looks to me then back at Malfoy. "You might want to stop before someone turns you into a ferret again," He says.
Astoria rolls her eyes. "Now both of you stop it!" She says but the boys ignore her.
I look over to Draco and smile. "How's the business?" I ask attempting to make conversation and trying to change the subject.
"Great," He says sarcastically. "Never better."
"Draco's work has been extremely stressful recently," Astoria says putting a hand on Draco.
"Oh," I say quietly. Why can't Ron fish me out of this awkward conversation?
I glance over at Rose who is giggling at Scorpius who is making funny faces at Rose. I smile and sigh. Draco, Astoria, and Ron notice the scene going on and they too look over. Astoria smiles as Ron and Draco grimace.
"Young love," I whisper. Rose was so in love that she probably won't notice what we're saying. "It's adorable isn't it?"
"Yeah... adorable," Draco scoffs.
I glare at Draco. "You were in the same situation as your son!" I say. "At work? Don't you remember? Oh yeah! It was the with the person you are sitting next to?" I shake my head. "Look, this whole blood purity thing, it's over, times have changed, does it matter now? Your son is in love!" I say smiling. "Isn't that all that really matters?"
Astoria looks at me as Draco puts down his now empty butterbeer mug. He scoffs. "Silly mudblood."
Ron stands up from the table and takes out his wand. "You've taken it too far Malfoy!" He spits. "Here is Hermione trying to change things and makes thing better, and you have to be immature about it? Grow up!"
"Ron!" I say standing up. I can't believe this is happening! "It doesn't matter," I say trying to defuse the situation.
"It does matter!" He says to me.
"Watch it Weasley," Draco says obviously amused by Ron. "Or you could lose your job. How else are you going to pay for the new twins?" He smirks.
Ron's jaw tightens as he's trying to keep in all the words he can. I look over to Rose who is now shaking. Her head is in her folded arms, hidden from the others. I put a hand on her shoulder. I lean into her ear. "Come on to the bathroom to freshen up," I whisper.
She gets up quickly and practically runs to the bathroom at three broomsticks. I rush after her and open the door to the bathroom. "Rose. Where are you?" She was no where to be seen.
I open the first stall in the bathroom and there's Rose, smeared makeup and sniffling. "Oh Mum, it's horrible!"
I close the door behind the stall and hug Rose. "Aww Rosie," I say. "It's going to be okay."
"No it's not!" She sobs.
"Look here's what your going to do," I say as I come up with a plan. "You're going to go out there and hold your head up high. Sticks and stones Rose, sticks and stones. Besides," I say as I begin to get a fuzzy of off Rose's blouse. "Draco and Astoria just didn't get to know the real Rose," I say smiling trying to make things brighter.
"Okay," She says bravely as we begin to walk out.
"Sorry that took so lo-"
Rose and I show up just in time to see Ron lunge across the table to Draco, attempting to break his nose or possibly turn him into a ferret. "Ron!" I cry.
"Dad stop!" Rose wails.
"Draco!" Astoria says as she's trying to get Ron off of Draco.
"Hey!" The three broomsticks owner grabs both Ron and Draco by the scruff and tosses them out the door. "Take your fights someplace else!" He grunts showing no trouble tossing the two out the door.
Draco and Ron stand up quickly and brush off the dirt. They walk in opposite directions glaring at each other. Draco with blood under his nose and Ron with his lip bleeding and a wound on his eyebrow. Draco rushes to Astoria as Rose and Scorpius walk in their families directions.
"Ron," I say as I shake my head disapprovingly. "There was no need for that!" I begin to brush off the dirt from his shirt. "Honestly, here we are trying to make things okay between the Malfoy's and the Weasley's and you have to screw with it."
"I didn't screw with it! Did you not hear what Malfoy was saying?"
"Of course I did! But you just let him get your goat!"
"I don't own a goat!"
"Forget about the goat!"
"But I couldn't take it anymore! He was making fun of you and Rose and the rest of the family! He got what he deserved!"
I look over to Astoria as her family walks in the other direction. Her look she's giving me pretty much translates to: "I'm so sorry."
Rose storms in front of me and Hermione. Walking faster to get away from us. "Hey," I call. "Where's the fire?"
"Really?!?" She cries turning around. "Do you not care at all?"
I turn to look at Hermione, who has fallen silent and is now looking at her shoes. "What do you mean, sweetheart?" I ask.
"I can't believe you're asking me this!" She shouts right in the middle of Hogsmeade.
"Keep you voice down."
"No I won't!" She says her voice elevating. "I don't care if the bloody whole Hogsmeade hears me!"
"What's going on?" I ask.
"Dad!!" She cries. "You ruined my whole entire relationship with Scorpius!" She whines. "You had to go back to a childish thing and beat up your old enemy!"
"Well it wasn't my fault!"
"It actually was your fault!" She cries. "Thanks to you my boyfriend's parents fucking hate me!"
"Language!" I warn.
"I don't fucking care! You ruined a good relationship!"
"Well good!" I shout back. "'Cuz I hate your boyfriend!"
"You don't hate my boyfriend," She shoots back. "You hate my boyfriend's parents over a silly child thing!"
"No!" I say back. "He seems like a bad kid!"
"That's so stereotypical Dad!" She says back. "Just because he's in Slytherin doesn't mean he's bad!"
"It most certainly does mean he's bad!" I shoot. "What happened to him and Piper! They broke up because he was cheating on that Ravenclaw girl!" It's a tad sad that I know my daughter's drama life.
"Dad that's different!" She explains. "He explained it to me! He said he was different! He changed Dad, he really did!"
"Doesn't matter," I say crossing my arms. "He seems like a bad kid Rose!" I say. "I just don't want you to get hurt."
"He's not a bad kid though!" Rose shouts. "You're just holding a grudge 'cuz of his father! If he wasn't Draco Malfoy's dad, it would be totally different!" Her voice cracks from all the yelling. "Honestly Dad you can be so immature sometimes!"
"How is this being immature Rose?!" I say. "I care about you. I don't want to see this boy hurting you. I don't trust him."
"Why can't you just let me be happy for once?" She cries. "Can't you see that Scorpius and I are happy?!"
"That isn't happy."
"It's love."
"It isn't love either Rose. It's teen love. You're so wrapped up with this whole thing that you can't see that in two weeks or so, he's going to cheat on you."
"Dad, Scorpius is not going to cheat on me!" She cries.
"I've been a sixteen year old kid Rose, I know what I'm talking about! And he's a Slytherin, it's bound to happen," I can't believe that Hermione isn't backing me up on this.
"You can't let me be happy! You just want to relive your child years of rivalry. Scorpius is different from the other boys. You can't tell me what to do anymore, I like Scorpius and there isn't one thing you can do about it. I'm still going to be with him!"
"Because I care about you Rose and I don't want you to get hurt! This boy is looking for trouble!"
"I hate you!" Rose shoots at me. It stabs into my heart.
"Rose- I" I grab her arm. She jerks it free.
"Get off of me! I'm going back to Hogwarts!" She wipes away tears as she rushes up to Hogwarts. She leaves me in the pool of guilt.
"Oh Ron," Hermione says putting her head on my shoulder.
"Oh so now you finally talk?" I shoot at her as we walk away from Hogwarts.
"Don't you drag me into this," She orders. "This wasn't my place to butt in and you know it Ron," She hugs me. "I'm so sorry what she said to you."
"Is it true though?" I ask. "Does she really hate me?"
"No," She soothes. "Not at all. She's a teenager," She says straightening my jacket. "I'm sure you know how that feels. Especially when a teenager is in love."
I smile at her and go back to my misery. My daughter just said she hated me. "I know," I say putting a hand on the back of my neck. "But she said she hated me."
"Ron, she's a teenager. I'm sure you said you hated your mother or father."
I nod. "Yeah, she probably didn't mean it," I say trying to shake it off, it wasn't working. Rose left an impression of guilt on my chest that won't ever get off. Hermione and I continue to walk to home leaving Hogwarts and our daughter.
She hated me.
"Now that wasn't so bad," Astoria says putting an arm around my waist.
"Yeah," I say rubbing my wounded head. "And fighting a dragon is a cup of tea."
"Your cut looks pretty bad," Astoria says studying the cut. "Maybe we should go to St. Mungos just in case."
"No, it's fine," I say.
"You ruined it," Scorpius finnally says.
"You ruined my relationship with Rose," He says going to other direction. "It was only one day! And now it's ruined."
"We were just having fun!" I say smirking.
"Didn't look like fun. Dad, you almost got a sock in the nose."
"Wouldn't be the first time," He says quietly.
"Don't worry about it," I say. "It was just some fun, it's all good."
"Okay," Scorpius says nodding. "I better head back to Hogwarts." He hugs Astoria and then me. It was an awkward hug, mostly because he could tell I was still fuming with anger. "I'll see you guys later maybe?"
"Who knows?" Hermione says smiling as she waves goodbye to her son. We floo home.
"Well today was eventful," Astoria says. "Can't you at least attempt to make friends with the Weasleys?"
"Nope," I say. "It's never going to happen Astoria. So you and Hermione might want to stop trying."
"But what if?" Astoria says.
"Astoria," I say looking at her. "How long have you tried doing this?"
"Seventeen years," She says quietly.
"And how many times have we succeeded?" I ask.
"Well.. none," Astoria says.
"Exactly," I sit on the couch and put my arms on the back of my head and relax. "So we might as well. Give up."
"I won't! Hermione's a sweet girl and was one of my best friends. And Ron, well, he can be nice if you're on his good side. And we better be keen to them since their daughter is dating our son!" She sits down next to me. "I really think this can work. It's just going to take some time," I can see the cranks moving in her head.
I roll my eyes. "I think you have other things to work on," I say focusing on her stomach. "Like a baby?"
"Oh yes!" She says standing up. "That reminds me! We need to start decorating!"
"Can't we wait until later?" I say yawning. I look at my clock. It's already 11:00. "I'm tired."
She laughs. "Fine. But tomorrow we're working." As she walks upstairs to get ready for bed.
I walk into my office and sit down at my desk and begin to organize my papers for work. I like to be organize to I can just get up and leave for work and be on time.
I put my papers in my briefcase. I look to the corner of my desk and do a double take. Weird, that letter wasn't there before....
I look to the window to see a grayed owl sitting there. I weirdly stare at it and proceed to open my letter. By the looks of the handwriting I could tell it was my father and I could tell he means business.
I open the letter and with shaking hands I read it to myself.
"We've Done It."
"Rose!" Scorpius shouts. "Rose wait up!"
I continue to run to Hogwarts, partially to get into Hogwarts before curfew and partially running away from sheer embarrassment.
I rush into the school and almost trip running up the steps to Gryffindor's common room. Scorpius grabs my arms and jolts me back.
"Why are you running?" He says out of breath. "And more importantly, why are you crying?"
I cough and tears flow out of my eyes. I hate being a teenage girl! "I'm not crying," I say over the sobs.
"You're not fooling anyone, Rose," He says chuckling as we sit down on the steps.
"We're going to get caught," I say sniffling.
"We won't. Prefect, remember?" He says. "Now tell me what's wrong."
"Your parents hate me."
"Your parents hate me. So now that we got that out of the way, anything else?"
"Was what your Dad say true?" I shift in my seat. I sniffle and sniff up the snot (how attractive). "I mean about me being a dirty, dumb halfblood and my frizzy red hair and-"
"Rose, none of that matters to me," Lily was right, he can be such a Casanova. I smile as he holds me close. "None of it's true either."
"Well my hair does get frizzy in the morning."
He chuckles. "Well that doesn't matter to me, I don't care if your hair is bushy, frizzy, straight or curly. Either way, it's beautiful."
I blush. "I'm sorry," He says. "It's really all my dad's fault. I guess he's still holding a grudge against your father."
"My father's the same, so I apologize too. And my Mum can get angry too," I giggle. "But Scorpius, you don't need to apologize for what your Dad did, it's really not your fault."
"I know, but, he made you cry."
"A lot of things make me cry," I laugh at myself. "Titanic, Babbity Rabbity, Hogwarts, ... you."
"Me? Did I do anything wrong?"
"No." I laugh. "You did nothing. It's just, I don't know," I say looking away. "No other guy has treated me the way you have been treating me."
Scorpius smiles. His face falls to a puzzle. "What's a Titanic? It sounds like a type of sweater."
"Oh yeah, let me just get you a beige Titanic for Christmas," I say sarcastically. He looks even more puzzled now. Boy, this boy can be thick sometimes. "It's a muggle movie." I explain. "A romantic love story, maybe I can show you it sometime," I smile. "But I should be really going to bed, there's a test in Transfiguration that I have to pass and I want to get some sleep."
Scorpius chuckles. "You and your studies," He scuffs the floor with his shoes. "Well can I at least kiss you goodbye."
"You don't want to kiss me." I say embarrassingly. "I've been crying and it'll be gross."
He shrugs. "Doesn't matter."
"You just asked me out this morning, I don't want to rush things," I start to get butterflies in my stomach.
"I'm not rushing anything," He leans in to kiss me. It feels like I'm flying. I'm suddenly not so worried about that Transfiguration test. Am I supposed to close my eyes when he kisses me? Seems kind of creepy if I don't. I close my eyes. It's like I'm on cloud nine, what ever that is. Mum used to say when she was in Hogwarts, whenever Dad would smile at her it would feel as if she was on cloud nine, I'm experiancing that exact feeling. Scorpius's smooth, cool lips on mine. I should've put on chapstick before this, the good tasting kind, but how was I to know that he was going to kiss me? He backs away from my face and I open my eyes.
"That wasn't so bad," He says grinning.
"Are you sure we aren't rushing things? I mean, you just asked me out this morning and you met my parents for the first time. Well, not formally but still, it didn't go so well an-"
"Rose," Scorpius says as he grabs me by the shoulders. "Did anyone tell you that you talk too much?"
"Everyday almost," I say.
He kisses me on the forhead. "Am I going to fast for you?"
"I'll tell you when you do," I smile as I walk upstairs. "Goodnight Scorpius."
He smiles back. "Goodnight Rose."
I close the door behind and jump and dance around. It felt great! I slump onto my bed and scream into my pillow. He likes me!! He really likes me!!
"Yeah that's her! And that Slytherin boy."
"Can you believe it?"
"Not in a million years would I imagine that happening."
"Look they're coming down the hall! I want to see them!"
"Really? Her? He can do SO much better. Like me!"
"I can't believe it! I love him!"
People are rushing past me, but not into the great hall for breakfast, but in the opposite direction. I sit down next to Al and Lily.
"What's going on?" I ask.
"Everyone's trying to get a view of the hot new Hogwarts couple," Lily says shifting her head around the crowd to get a peek of the new couple.
"It's totally mental what these people are doing. I mean, can't they just get some privacy?" Dom says grimacing. She was just upset because her boyfriend recently broke up with her.
Lily leans in. "Well I heard that the parents weren't too happy about them dating," She says in a low voice.
"Do you even know who the couple is?" I ask.
They shake there heads no as the crowd seems to be gravitating to the great hall. Right in front of them was the new couple, I guess. I peek through the crowd to see the new couple.
What was she doing holding hands with Scorpius?!?! She sits down smiling at us. "Good morning!"
They all smile at Rose. Rose blushes as Scorpius comes to sit down. "Hey," He says to Rose kissing her on the cheek. "I'm going to go sit with Slytherin"
"Okay," Rose says smiling at Scorpius as he walks away.
"Details," Roxanne orders. "Now."
I stare at Rose. "Really?"
"You're dating Scorpius Malfoy?"
"Yeah. What's it to you," She says with a mouthful of toast.
"Did you forget the fact that he's a Malfoy."
"You and Dad are just the same!" She spits.
"Good! Am I the only that sees that he's pure evil!"
"Well, I think he's cute," Dom says quietly. "He has a cute mouth."
"Hey," Lily says. "That's Rose's girlfriend now."
"I don't get why my family hates him!" Rose says looking at me. "He's changed."
"Yeah," I snort. "Okay Rose."
"He did!" She sits down. Her eyes are red, I could tell she was crying last night.
"Is something wrong?" Dom asks. She too noticed Rose's appearance.
"Dad and I got in a fight last night," She says quietly. "I told him, I hate him."
"What was it over?"
"I don't like him Rose!" I say. "I agree with Dad."
"Well it doesn't matter to you or Dad, does it?" She says. "It doesn't matter to anyone! It only matters to me! I don't get why people are always hating on him! He's different."
"He's just like any Slytherin!" I say.
"You and Dad are the same!" She stands up and marches to the Slytherin table to sit with Scorpius and his friends.
"I can't believe her!" Dom says. "After all these years of being best friends with her, she hasn't told me anything of this!"
"Me neither," I say as I mixed my oatmeal around.
"I mean, I would have kept a secret!" Dom says glaring at Rose. "But no!" She says dramatically. "She had to keep it a secret! I knew something was up between them from the very start!"
"You couldn't tell Hugo?"
I shake my head. "How she would always smile when Scorpius was around after that detention," Roxanne says. "I'm telling you that girl was changed after that detention."
I grimace. I suddenly lost my appetite and I push away my porridge. "Why wouldn't she tell us?"
Dom shrugs as she shovels cereal into her mouth. Rose walks back to Gryffindor table smiling a cheeky grin. "Hey!"
Dom instantly stands up as Rose sits down. "Where are we all going?" Rose asks.
"You didn't me, your best friend what was going on?!" Dom fumed looking at her friend. "You didn't even tell Hugo! Did you not trust us?"
"You wouldn't understand Dom."
"Of course I would understand, I've had a lot more boy trouble than you and you know it!"
"Why am I the one getting blamed for this? You should be happy for me!" She sighs and stops herself from yelling at Dom. "Look, I know that this is a huge change for everyone. But we've got to get through this together. I don't want to fight over this, it's silly."
I gape at my sister, since when was she so mature all of a sudden? Dom sighs. "You're right. I'm sure he's a nice bloke," She mutters as she hugs her cousin.
Rose lets go of Dom and walks toward me. "Hey, I'm sure you're going to like him."
"Yeah okay," I smile looking at her.
Not in a million years will I ever like Scorpius.
3 weeks later
It was a free class for sixth years and Rose and I are in an intense match of Wizards Chess.
"Bishop to E5," Rose says. The bishop follows and Rose sighs and looks out a window.
"Something wrong?" I ask looking at her. "Knight to G8"
"Knight to G7," Her red knight takes out my black knight. She grins at me, satisfied with her move. She cringes. "I think, I think you are going to have to meet my parents soon."
I stare at her. I can't tell her the truth, I'm absolutely terrified of her parents. And I think her parents hate me, at least her dad does. I smile. "Of course!"
"You're not opposed at all?"
"Nope," I lie. In fact, I was terrified.
"Scorpius, I can tell you're lying," She says looking right through my lies. She grins. "You're scared to meet my parents!" She teases.
"Am not!" I defend.
"Oh yes you are Scorpius Hyperion!" I should have never told her my middle.
"Oh I'm not Rose... Rose," I studder. I can't believe I don't know my girlfriend's middle name.
She giggles. "It's Rose Lavender," She smiles. "Queen to A9," Her face turns serious. "Now, why are you scared?"
"You're parents hate me! Rock to G2"
"They don't hate you," I give her a look of doubt. "Well, not Mum at least. But Dad likes you!" I give her another look of doubt. "Okay Dad doesn't seem keen on you," I can't believe she was stretching the truth that much. "Okay he hates you!" She finally blurts. "Pawn to A7," She looks at me again. "They don't know the real you, though. Just let them get to know you and they'll love you!"
I scoff. "I'll see that happen when pigs fly."
"It's going to happen!" Rose reassures. "Mum is going to love you. And Dad- well give him a chance and I'm sure he'll love your sense of humour!"
I sigh. I'm never going to win this conversation against Rose so I nod and agree with her. "Okay, I'll go," I smile at her. "Only for you though. King to F9."
She smiles as she looks at the board. "Yay! Knight to G9," Her King takes out my knight and looks at me sympathetically for killing my king. "Checkmate," She says quietly grinning.

This project examines ten specific themes of leadership in light of both Old and New Testament passages in the form of a devotional study for leaders. The themes are progressive in nature and scope. Studying through the devotionals will help the leader understand that the making of leader involves the clear call of God on the leader's life. Acting with a clear sense of God's calling and purpose, the leader will gain appreciation for the importance of developing shared values to overcome conflict and build strong, unified teams of diverse individuals. Leaders will also come to recognize how God helps them think clearly to discern how taking appropriate actions today can shape the future in significant ways as they develop creative and innovative approaches to contemporary organizational challenges. Finally, a call for leaders to examine their motives for leadership and to understand spiritual leadership as a continual practice of worship is given.
Each of the devotions follow the approach to first present a theme for the study and scripture passages from the Old and New Testaments as a basis from which to explore the theme. Primary leadership and organizational development concepts addressed by the devotion are listed as well. Following the devotional study, an example in the form of a case study gives insight into the application of principles drawn from the devotion. A practical exercise assists the leader to apply the principles to his or her specific context. Each of the devotions include a relevant quote from an early church father to introduce the leader to ancient and timeless wisdom of the ages and concludes with a suggested reading list to encourage further exploration into the concepts presented in the devotion.

Disaster Management Bureau (DMB)
Bangladesh being an alluvial deltaic plain frequently suffers from devastating natural hazards of which, floods, cyclones with accompanying storm surges, tornadoes, river-bank erosion, drought and earthquakes are the most disastrous to mention. Bangladesh being in close proximity with the Himalayas, the country has a long history of seismic tremors. The colossal losses of lives and properties caused by natural disasters with repeated frequency in short intervals, making of Bangladesh one of the most disaster prone countries in the world, are reflected in this calendar, as a testimony of the seasonal threat to communities.

Murkowski's appeal for Democratic votes backfiresSen. Lisa Murkowski is apologizing for a campaign mailing attempting to win Democratic votes, but some Juneau Democrats say the mailing went too far.
"I think it is a pretty sleazy last-minute mailing, and its untrue," said Kim Metcalfe, Juneau Democratic chairwoman.
"I know she's going for the moderate vote, but this is a pretty poor way to do it," said Metcalfe, who said she received the direct mail campaign ad Tuesday.
The mailer claims incorrectly several prominent Democrats are supporting Murkowski.
"Alaska Democrats Who Are Voting For Lisa Murkowski - and not Scott McAdams," the mailer is titled, followed by a list of quotes from several Alaska Democrats, as well as Democratic U.S. Sen. Patty Murray of Washington.
Chief among those is Ethan Berkowitz, the Democratic Party's candidate for governor and a McAdams supporter.
Berkowitz issued a statement calling Murkowski's claims "a blatant lie" and urged her to correct it.
Murkowski spokesman Steve Wackowski said the mailing was in error, and it was the campaign's fault.
"We immediately issued an apology to Scott McAdams, and Sen. Murkowski called Ethan directly and the talked about it," Wackowski said.
Also quoted in the mailing were former Democratic candidates Bob Poe and Georgianna Lincoln and attorney Don Mitchell.
McAdams Juneau Campaign Coordinator Kate Troll said the local office was already getting calls from surprised Juneau Democrats. Troll writes a column for the Empire.
Troll sent out an e-mail to Juneau Democrats saying that it seemed "crazy" to see a claim that Berkowitz was supporting Murkowski. "Guess what, it is. Lisa flat out told a lie in her mail piece," Troll said.
Wackowski said the mailer originally had a headline that stated something like "What Democrats are saying about Lisa Murkowski," and he said he wasn't sure how it came to include the erroneous information about voting.
"Our campaign is responsible for it," he said.
Rep. Beth Kerttula, D-Juneau, said she did not believe that Murkowski intentionally tried to mislead voters.
"I think it was an honest mistake," she said.
While she considers Murkowski a personal friend, Kerttula, who serves as House Democratic leader, said she'll be voting for McAdams.
Further, she said, Murkowski shouldn't have used peoples' names and quotes as endorsement without permission.
"Before you put somebody's name on a flyer like that, you've got to be sure you've got their OK", she said.
Murray Tuesday issued a statement saying it was unfortunate her comments praising Murkowski's bipartisanship were used to woo McAdams supporters.
"It's unfortunate her comments about bipartisanship were used in a partisan manner against an excellent candidate like Scott McAdams," said Jeff Bjornstad, Murray's campaign manager.

NEW YORK --There are two very different movies for different audiences opening in theaters everywhere this weekend. "Sparkle" is Whitney Houston's final legacy, while "The Expendables 2" is an action movie with an aging all-star cast.
"Sparkle" stars Jordin Sparks, but it is dedicated in loving memory of Whitney Houston. Her death came a few months after she filmed her supporting role, but the sadness of her passing also gives the project a real poignancy and helps to make the release of an ordinary film an extraordinary event.
Check out entertainment reporter Sandy Kenyon's reviews of both films.

Hotel May Flower Mysore Reviews
1 reviews
Middle range Non-star hotel outside the city May 26, 2011
Only travelers who are having own vehicle think of staying in this hotel. The hotel is situated outside the city. Very peaceful atmosphere. Rooms are good. Restaurant is separate and the service is average in restaurant. There was a shortage of people in service especially in the morning. It took 3 hours and 5-6 followup calls to get my bed tea. The other aspects are ok. This may be a one time happening.
This hotel is situated in industrial are and it seems the business started to get the corporate customers. Most of the hotels in the city was full during my visit and thus I found this hotel.

text: Howdy Just wondering what the going rate for travel expenses is. I have been contacted about a wedding 400kms away (800 round trip). What do you charge for something like that? My thought was $0.43/km and the value of 2 nights hotel expense (just an average clean hotel - that way I could book something nicer if I wanted). Up till now, I have always had a place to stay in the city I have traveled to. Opinions appreciated.

Anyone who knows the history of Michele Salvini shouldn't be surprised that she's now an owner of a successful Lawrence business.
After all, she became an award winner just seconds into her life.
Back in 1963, Salvini - then known as Michele Lynn Sommer - was the first baby born in Douglas County. Salvini - 6 pounds, 13 1/2 ounces, according to a front-page photo and caption in the Journal-World - and her parents were showered with gifts. It's a tradition that continues today.
Lawrence radio station KLWN again will anoint some well-timed child as its 54th annual Baby of the Year. The winner receives prizes ranging from gift certificates to a car seat. The Journal-World also continues to make a celebrity out of the newborn. A story and photo of the first baby of the year is still a New Year's staple.
"I think it is really neat," said Salvini, who is an owner of the Lawrence printing company FormGraphics Inc.
She said her parents told her at a young age about her winning performance. She said they frequently would get out the old baby blanket that she won, and also listen to a recording of a KLWN interview with her parents.
"It's funny to listen to my father because he was in his early 20s back then," Salvini said. "I remember him telling how I was late. I think I was due on Christmas. My father said he was hoping to get the tax deduction."
Hank Booth, station manager at KLWN, said he thought all the hubbub made over the first baby of the year served an important purpose because it helps Lawrence maintain a bit of its small-town feel.
"It is just something we wanted to keep doing as sort of a local hometown thing," Booth said. "So many of our hometown things get diluted as we grow. We didn't want that to happen to this."
Booth's father, Arden Booth, hosted the baby of the year program for several decades. Booth said it was a highlight of his father's year.
"He would call the hospital all the time and ask, 'Do we have any ladies in waiting?'" Booth remembers. "He probably kept interrupting the delivery. The nurses probably wanted to tell him that they'd be done if he would quit calling."
The program also is special to Salvini, but for more reasons than just her own victory. Salvini made a stab at really etching her family's name into the history of the contest. Her daughter Maggie just missed being the first baby of the year in 1988 by a mere two hours.
"We share the same birthday, but it would have been really special if she would have won, too," Salvini said.
Then both mother and daughter could have walked around town as celebrities.
"Yeah, right," Salvini said.

It's easy to make an entire summertime meal of creative kabobs. Serving these bite-sized combinations on sticks makes them easy to serve and fun to eat. Try one of these four recipes at your next summer gathering.
A caprese salad with tomatoes, basil and mozzarella is a summer classic. Serve these fresh, bright skewers straight out of the refrigerator with balsamic vinegar.
Serves 6
Don't forget to eat your vegetables! Vegetables work great on kabobs, and just about any combination will do. Just be sure to cut them so that they are a uniform thickness (this will help them to cook evenly). Brush the vegetables with olive oil and cook them on the grill, or roast them in the oven. Want something more? Serve your vegetable kabobs with a quick and easy homemade ranch dressing.
These chicken kabobs are seasoned with oregano and become temptingly fragrant on the grill. To finish, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the kabobs and serve with homemade tzatziki sauce (a refreshing yogurt sauce with cucumber and dill).
Serves 6
Finish your summer meal with this sweet treat of layered brownies and strawberries. You might want to make a few extra — these will go fast!
Serves 6
Get kids involved! Arranging fruits and vegetables for kabobs is a great way to practice patterns. (However, putting ingredients on the skewers should only be done by kids who are old enough to do so safely — those sticks are sharp!)

Go Global: Three reasons why every small business should trade overseas
1. Cost savings from international tradeAll businesses thrive on profit and are constantly searching for cost savings. Finding cheaper suppliers without compromising on quality is one of the easiest ways of raising profit margins - and by widening your search for suppliers, you will increase your chances of finding one that is priced more competitively. Whether you are trying to source a specific product or want to find a manufacturer to make a bespoke item for you, there are thousands of manufacturers and suppliers across the globe and it makes sense to look as far afield as possible to find the best deals for your business.
- Editor's note – read Tony Curtis's story to see how he used Alibaba.com to source manufacturers for his heated sports glove.
2. Millions of buyers in the global marketplaceThere are thousands of internet searches every day from people seeking all kinds of products, so to maximise profits all businesses should be in a position to capture some of those potential customers. Be prepared to respond to queries and orders worldwide, and investigate all routes to proactively promote your business to overseas buyers. There is a real appetite around the world for British goods at the moment so there's never been a better time to expand your customer base by showcasing your products to worldwide buyers who are searching for the things you sell.
3. Diversification through worldwide connectionsThe more people you talk to about your business and your industry, the more ideas you are exposed to. Getting different points of view from around the globe could trigger off all sorts of opportunities and possibilities.You may find new products to expand your portfolio or discover new partners to grow your business in other ways. Trading globally is the best way to keep your business and your ideas fresh and up to date.
Get help from Alibaba.comThere is plenty to consider when venturing into doing business with the rest of the world. To help out with the basics, The Knowledge Centre on Alibaba.com holds a breadth of information and advice on trading globally, including setting up an online business, taxes and duties, sourcing from overseas suppliers and safe payment methods. There is also a selection of videos featuring Alibaba.com customers who share their experiences, including the pitfalls and the challenges they faced, which will help and inspire other small businesses to make a success of their ventures. * Research conducted on behalf of Alibaba.com by Trends Research on a sample of 1400 UK small businesses during August 2010.
Book your ticket for Go Global!Linda will be a guest at our Go Global event on 15th November, and Alibaba.com representatives will be offering advice and support to Enterprise Nation readers throughout Global Entrepreneurship Week from 14th – 18th November. Read the full programme of events and book your ticket.
Read more international trade advice from LindaFive tips for successful exporting How to trade safely internationally How to get the most from international suppliers Globe image by Horia Varlan
Have your say
I also feel that working with worldwide clients protects me from the downturns in economic situations - not all countries are down at the same time (I hope!).
I do find it a little amusing that I, in the UK, am regularly outsourced to by Chinese and Indian companies, but that's because of the nature of the work I do.
I really enjoy working with clients all round the world, especially when we have little chats about the weather, their offices etc. - always interesting.

Daily year 'round rider here. Live in Kentucky but visiting family in NJ right now. I trailered my bikes up... sold my chopped Sportster to my brother, who asked that I deliver it. Brought my Road Glide to do some riding here. Man, is it ever gusty down here in south Jersey! Been traveling back and forth across state from my sister's in Tuckerton (Little Egg Harbor) to Williamstown where my brother lives. Beautiful riding through the piney woods but the gusty crosswinds takes some of the fun out of riding... keeps me on my toes though. Good reflex training I guess.
Planning to do the Blue Ridge Parkway in August. 469 miles of restricted access road connecting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina to the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. Great way to see the Appalacian Mtns on two wheels.

It seems that a rep for Jamie Lee Curtis confirmed the death of her father but did not give any details. Actor Tony Curtis struggled with many health problems in past few years.
Tony Curtis suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and since July he was hospitalized because of his breathing problems. The actor had pneumonia in 2006 and nearly killed him but after several days in coma he continued his life in a wheelchair.
He performed in movie such as "Some Like It Hot", "The Defiant Ones". On personal life he didn't had an easy life due to his five marriages from which he has six children.

Goodwill Manasota has partnered with CARES Outreach and members of the local community to raise awareness in the weeks leading up to World AIDS Day 2016. From November 15th through December 6th, Goodwill will display an educational art show at six of its locations in Sarasota and Manatee counties. The displays will feature artwork created by local school children featuring educational and prevention messages about how HIV is spread, the continued impact of HIV, and the responsibility that each of us has to achieve the goal of "no new infections."
While the artwork will be on display through the 6th of December, each community room will have a designated viewing night open to anyone who would like to attend. Viewing hours during the specific nights will be from 5:00pm to 6:30pm.
In addition to the artwork there will be cut-outs of traced hands on red paper. These hands will be assembled into the pattern of the red AIDS ribbon and displayed at each location. Some of the hands will have a message, a word or phrase, or the first name of the "artist." Red hands will also be available for visitors to honor the memory of someone who has died or a loved one living with HIV/AIDS. These will join the others on the wall display.

Fixing roundup2 seems like a good idea, and I have no objection to adding rounddown2.
I don't really see the point of offsetin -- if you have a struct that ends with an array of 1 element, but you want to allocate enough space for the struct plus an array of >1 elements, then why not just do the arithmetic without a macro, and if you do need a macro, then why not give it a name that sounds more like "sizeof"?
I also don't see the point of container_of -- why not redesign the code so that the the inner struct has a pointer to the outer struct?
Please don't evaluate macro arguments more than once, except in macros whose names are ALL_CAPS.
Since it's not standard C, I think __typeof__ would be preferable to typeof. My tests show that it's available in gcc, clang, and pcc.

Do you suspect some foods 'don't agree' with you?
Do you suffer from IBS, bloating, pain or other digestive symptoms after eating?
Do you have skin problems such as eczema, psorioasis or acne rosacea?
Do you get migraines, headaches, joint pain or feel constantly tired?
Food allergies/intolerances and unbalanced gut bacteria can be factors in a whole range of conditions. Rather than trying to treat the systems, why not try to establish the cause?
I now offer two professional laboratory tests.
The food Intolerance test is a skin prick test that I can do with you in the clinic at your free Initial Assessment. Collecting the sample takes 5 minutes and is really easy and pain free. I then post off the sample to the lab for analysis. Results take 5 – 7 days.
The Gut health test provides you with a kit that you use yourself at home to collect and post off a stool sample to the lab. This may sound slightly horrifying, but it's actually very easy and there is no better way to assess gut bacteria than to analyse your poo! Results take a bit longer, 3 – 4 weeks.
You can take one test or both. Once you have taken the test(s) and I have the results, I will invite you back in to the clinic for a full hour's consultation to discuss the results, nutrition advice and to talk through the individual exclusion food plan I will have prepare for you, based on your results.

Northern & Central Midwest
July, 2013
Regional Report
Watch for Fireblight
Members of the rose family may be susceptible to a bacterial disease called fireblight. It gets its name because plant tips blacken and curl as if burned. If you spot it on serviceberry, pear, apple, or cherry, prune out the diseased tips down to healthy wood. Sterilize pruners with alcohol between each cut.
Be on the Lookout for Tomato Hornworms
The hornworms are amazingly camouflaged, but the dark green droppings and stripped leaves are a sure sign. Handpicking is the easiest control, but if the caterpillar has small white cocoons extending from its body, let it be. These are beneficial wasps that will kill the caterpillar.
Renovate June-Bearing Strawberries
Set the mower high and mow down the strawberry planting as soon as you finish harvesting. Be sure to get rid of all the weeds, and cultivate between the rows to remove runners. Sidedress with compost or general garden fertilizer. Renew the mulch if needed.
Time to Stop Pruning
July 15 is the date to stop pruning in our region. When a plant is pruned, it puts on a flush of new growth. At this time of year new growth may not have time to harden sufficiently to get through the winter without damage. You can resume pruning in fall when plants are going dormant.
Make Successive Sowings
Don't let the summer slip by without putting in second and even third plantings. There's still plenty of time to sow carrots and beets, Chinese cabbage and bush beans, late corn and kohlrabi. Also, get those transplants of broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale ready for the garden by hardening them off.

Barcelona took a giant step towards the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday, seeing off Manchester City at the Etihad .
Lionel Messi scored the opener for the Catalan side , firing home from the penalty spot after being felled by Martin Demichelis.
It appeared that City would hang on to go into the second leg with just a one-goal deficit, but Dani Alves popped up late on to make it 2-0.
David Anderson was especially impressed by Andres Iniesta, making him his Man of the Match.

Cardinals-Brewers: Sabathia Dominates Against St. Louis' Horrid OffenseJuly 23, 2008
"What is with all this talk about bullpen problems? The bullpen didn't cost us the game. How many runs have we scored in the past two games? How many?!"
These were words of manager Tony La Russa as he addressed the media after the Cardinals recent loss to the Brewers on Tuesday night. Once again, his words would echo throughout Busch stadium as Milwaukee defeated St. Louis 3-0 on Wednesday night.
CC Sabathia was nearly untouchable in the early going of the ball game. After he pitched five and two-thirds innings of no-hit baseball, the Brewers are reaping the rewards of "going for it all."
Sabathia ended up pitching the rest of the game as he shut out the Redbirds, whose offense has disappeared from the face of the earth during this important series.
Absent from the lineup was struggling outfielder Rick Ankiel, as he most certainly was given the day off given his terrible track record against left-handed pitching. His presence probably would not have helped, as Sabathia was not be denied on this day.
The heart of the Cardinals order (Ludwick, Pujols, Glaus) went a combined one-for-10 with four strikeouts. Anemic to say the least, and a big cause for concern.
Braden Looper actually kept St. Louis within striking distance as he pitched five innings, while giving up seven hits with only one earned run. As much as the starting pitching tried to battle with Milwaukee's ace, the offense did not show up.
With manager Tony La Russa's words of how the offense has cost the Redbirds several games, it cannot be denied that the bullpen has made matters worse. Kelvin Jimenez and Jason Isringhausen both gave up runs in their appearances.
Jimenez's run came off of a sacrifice fly, but Isringhausen's outing was more troubling.
Izzy's downfall has come to the disarray of Cardinals nation, and it has been painful to watch. Isringhausen gave up a solo home run off of the bat of Ryan Braun, Braun's 25th of the season.
As the Brewers continue to leave a path of destruction in St. Louis, the Cardinals are on the verge of being swept and falling nearly four games behind the Chicago Cubs.
With the trade deadline approaching and St. Louis continuing to endure loss after loss, how much longer can they wait to make a splash?
Is it possible for the Cardinals to keep their heads on while their rivals literally sweep past them? Maybe the problem isn't only the offense with St. Louis.
Maybe, one of the biggest problems lies in La Russa himself.

The Big Bang Theory S06E05: "The Holographic Excitation"
So Howard was back from space, but he was lacking a proper outlet to get his full space-squee on since his ability to hijack any conversation and turn it into Space Adventures with Buzz Wolowitz of Star Command was practically a science and everyone was really sick of it—except Sheldon and Leonard, if only because they got a kick out of experimenting on it. But alas, even that amusement passed and Howard came to realize that it was almost time to go back to being boring old regular Howard.
Poor Howie, he only wanted to keep his coolness cred front and center. Unfortunately, his humblebragging abilities need some work. Hang out on Facebook for a while, Wolowitz, you'll learn the art of the #humblebrag in no time.
Leonard and Penny claimed the spotlight leading up to Stu's annual Halloween party at the comic shop. Penny didn't want to attend, but Bernadette and Amy pressured her into going because they themselves didn't have a choice. It's no secret that Penny's ongoing indecisiveness irritates me to no end, if only because she keeps stringing Leonard along and then managing to make it seem like her inability to commit is somehow his fault. Her complete and total disinterest in what the man even does for a living was alarming, and I was glad to see that even Bernadette and Amy—who are usually quick to humor Penny's self-inflicted lovelife drama—were visibly irked.
Bernadette went as far as to say, "You get what you put into a relationship," as a gentle condemnation of Penny's initial inability to occasionally indulge Leonard in date nights and even life in general. Compromise goes both ways, lady, though for me, that was the easy part of Penny's problem to understand. Penny doesn't like the comic shop and she knew she wasn't going to enjoy the Halloween party regardless of who she was with. That's fair. That happens. Going to a movie with your significant other isn't going to make you enjoy the movie any more if you had no desire to see it in the first place.
No, what really bugged me was the job thing. I mean, that's Leonard's life, the culmination of some impressive accomplishments and a lot of hard work, and Penny had zero interest in even the most basic aspects of it. She chalked that up to being too dense to understand what Leonard does, but made no effort to try, even when Amy and Bernadette attempted to explain it. Sheesh, Penny is capable of communicating with other human beings, and it's not like anyone was asking her to PERFORM Leonard's job.
At Bernadette's urging, Penny dropped by the lab one day to hang out. You know those Band-Aids that The Big Bang Theory is so fond of slapping over the Penny/Leonard relationship, only to rip them off a few episodes later when we need some angst? I suspect that's all we got here, but I'm also crossing my fingers that some actual progress was made. Please, PLEASE let some progress have been made.
Much to Penny's surprise, she realized that Leonard's job was actually kind of cool. He was working with holograms and showed off some neat tricks, explaining the Holographic Principle—which Penny seemed to follow pretty well because she's not nearly as dumb as as she thinks she is.
Penny paused their shenanigans to say to Leonard, "I forget how smart you are," and even though very shortly afterward they commenced with the sexytimes, that wasn't sex talk coming from Penny. That sounded like a sincere compliment. Progress!
Of course, for the rest of the episode, whenever Leonard started talking nerdy—but not TOO nerdy, as we saw when Magneto entered the discourse—the conversation usually ended with romp in the... TARDIS. It's the little things, right Penny?
Hopefully this is a turning point in Penny's understanding of her relationship with Leonard, rather than an admittedly hilarious detour away from their usual inability to function. What do you think?
1. One-liner of the night: Bernadette's "I'm gonna be washing paint out of my smurf for a month!" Howard's sexy astronaut puns get an honorable mention just because they were creepy; his Bernadette impression, however, was glorious.
2. Speaking of puns, Raj's Halloween menu was cute! However, it also kind of reminded me of a school lunch menu. Our lunch ladies really liked puns too. It helped disguise the fact that we were basically eating chicken byproduct pressed into different shapes every day of the week. NUTRITION!
3. Amy doesn't like Star Wars. I'm sorry, Amy. I liked you. But you're gonna have to go.
4. Just kidding, I love Amy. But really, I would have expected that to be a deal-breaker.
5. "There are certain things that say to the world, 'I have a boyfriend and he's not made up.' Matching costumes, hickeys, and sex tapes." Amy has a point. I was kind of holding out for her to enlighten Sheldon as to what a hickey is, if only to see his reaction of complete and utter horror.
6. Raj was irritated by Stu taking credit for all of his fabulous party-planning. Ruh-roh, Stu. I'd watch it. Your status in the inner circle was already shaky where Sheldon and Howard were concerned.
7. So who won "Best in Show" with their costume?
