the adventure begins…

--------

"Angels!"

The girls scattered around the cabin look up in surprise. ShellyK drops her 3000 page law book on her big toe and swears emphatically, then looks up snarkily at Ron's visage in the fire. "What do you want?"

Ron smirks at her, then raises his voice so all the Angels will hear. "I have your next mission."

ThaliaChaunacy and Claireyfairy1 abandon their pan of brownies and sit down amongst the other bikini-and-board-short-clad beauties on the couch.

Ron grins. "What's with the bathing suits? They're brilliant."

The gaggle of girls giggles with glee. There is much self-fanning.

Except for one: Invisblegrl looks fit to murder. "The weather's gotten warm where the author lives," she explains sullenly, then bursts into tears.

Ron looks at her, concerned. "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing," she says mopily.

ThaliaChaunacy leans towards Ron and lowers her voice. "She's got cramps." Invisblegrl smacks ThaliaChaunacy on the arm. "What?"

"Oi," Ron interjects to stop the fighting. "I may be a male, but I am married, remember?"

Invisblegrl snorts in disbelief. "Yeah, like Hermione gets cramps." Ron opens his mouth to speak but is interrupted.

"Please let me answer that, Ron." Hermione's head appears in the fire and Ron's grumbles can be heard in the background.

A couple of the girls snicker and ShellyK makes a whipping sound, but when Hermione narrows her eyes at them they all blink innocently. "Honestly."

Another snicker. Hermione tries not to smile. Finally she looks at them bemusedly. "Ladies, who doesn't get cramps?"

Invisblegrl looks skeptical (Author would like to inquire as to why many fanfic people insist on spelling it 'sceptical' when that could only mean toilet-related.) but before she can inquire further, Hermione steps out of the picture and Ron reappears, his mouth full of chocolate cake.

"Mmmfff." He looks slightly embarrassed. "'Scuse me."

More snickering. ShellyK shoots him a smoldering look. "I don't think any of us mind." It's true; by this point the Angels are blatantly ogling Ron as he finishes his bite.

Ron smiles indulgently at them. "Anything else been happening that I should know about?" 

MiserysAngel pipes up. "We talked about your sister."

"Oh, really? What about her?"

MiserysAngel tries to be nonchalant. "Oh, you know. Normal stuff. How canon & fanon Ginny differ." She turns slightly pink. "Andthatshe'sreallyhot."

Ron coughs chokingly and looks incredulously at her. "Excuse me?"

"I think she's hot too, Ron," ThaliaChaunacy says flippantly.

Ron turns on her quickly. "You also wrote a triofic."

"So?" She raises an eyebrow back at him.

"It was good," Sunshyndaisies adds helpfully.

"Not the point," Ron chides.

"Hey!" ThaliaChaunacy looks like she's going to jump into the fireplace and strangle him. " I didn't even post it here so I don't see what the big deal is!"

Hermione's voice echoes into the room. "Don't lie, Ron. ThaliaChaunacy, it made him cry." Ron turns utterly red.

"Hah!" ThaliaChaunacy yells triumphantly whilst doing The Happy Dance. "I am the winner!"

Sunshyndaisies yanks her back down to the couch. "No one-liners!" ThaliaChaunacy pouts but stays quiet.

Allison accidentally pokes herself with her sewing needle and tries not to bleed on her nearly-finished teacozy. "I did more fantabulous drawings that made everyone squee even though I had tons of schoolwork and partying to do."

Ron chuckles. "And thankfully none were of Malfoy naked."

Allison looks inspired. "No, but thanks for the idea!"

Ron points a finger at her warningly. "Not on my website."

ShellyK interrupts with an evil glint in her eyes. "Hey, Ron! Want to know how to write a man's orgasm?"

"Well, not —"

"Just like a woman's orgasm, but with lots of grunting!" Laughter erupts from the team.

Ron looks scandalized. "That's not true!" The girls are still laughing.

ShellyK grins triumphantly. "Suuuure."

Ron clears his throat and tries to change the subject, but his ears are still pink. "Claireyfairy1? Anything interesting happening with you?"

Clairyfairy1 thinks fast. "ThaliaChaunacy and I got into a row about make-up. Then made up when we realized we like a lot of the same music." She looks at him guiltily. "I beta-d her triofic…and liked it."

He reddens again. "Very good. Next?"

Hypancistrus smiles cheekily. "I swore like a sailor and thoroughly trounced ff.net's good name."

"About time. That place is terrible."

"There are those that defend it," she explains. "But I have no idea why."

Ron smiles and looks at the next Angel.

"I selflessly waded through the dark waters of the internet to help ThaliaChaunacy find a home for her triofic," RedBlaze remembers. "And showed everyone pictures of my uber-adorable cooties."

Ron chuckles. "I must say, they are adorable."

RedBlaze squees. "Thank you!"

Cressida looks proud. "I admitted that I am an evil woman."

Ron laughs out loud. "Not news, Cress."

"Right, then, I also admitted I'm old enough to have no clue who this Sarah McLachlan person is that ThaliaChaunacy keeps having a fit about."

Ron nods. "Very ballsy." (Author apologizes, but none of her British sources could come up with a better word.)

Sunshyndaisies contemplates her recent past. "Let's see… I designed a killer new avatar."

ThaliaChaunacy gags in the background and Sunshyndaisies rolls her eyes. "None of that. SW rules." She pauses, thinking. "And I figured out that I am the only one with decent musical taste in this room."

A piece of brownie hits her in the back of the head and she whips around. ThaliaChaunacy has her hand out and a 'bring it on' look on her face. Sunshyndaisies lunges for the kill and ThaliaChaunacy pulls her to the floor in an all-out brawl.

"Bring out the jello!" Ron yells excitedly.

The rest of the team bursts into laughter and the brawl immediately dissolves into fits of giggles. "In your dreams!" Sunshyndaisies manages to get out. She hugs ThaliaChaunacy and they collapse onto the couch, still giggling.

Allison shakes her head at the rest of the team, determined to get back to business. "So what's this mission, anyways?"

Ron looks at them intently. "Angels, brace yourselves. I think you will find this one a bit more alarming than most."

"Will I have to miss Buffy?" Clairyfairy1 whines fitfully. ThaliaChaunacy starts to throw a piece of brownie at her but Ron shoots her a Look.

"Have any of you heard from Archchancellor or Dindranesdefender recently?"

The Angels look at each other and shrug. "No."

"I'm afraid I have some very bad news." He pauses and the girls lean forward. "They've been abducted."
