Diana:
"A storm?" I said resting my hand on his shoulder, "You know that from the forecast? Or...sensed it?"

Leon:
I took her hand and escorted her into the room with Denise and his two dates following. Many of the journalists started taking pictures immediately and I whispered to one of my assistants who started asking the journalists to cut it down a bit. "Sorry about that." I whispered to Ryan.

Leon:
"They tend to use flash a lot. Not everyone likes it. I didn't when I first started." I said escorting her away from the cameras. Out of nowhere a ... chubby little man with a huge white moustache showed up and hugged me...more like squeezed me. "Leon, my boy!!!" I managed to get myself out saying, "Ah. Senior Papadreio. Ryan, this is Senior Papadreio, the CEO of Newsflash, you know...the famous media company." Papadreio looked at Ryan and immediately hugged her hard as he did to me.

Diana:
"Ah true...Wait...you're planning on...training during it?"

Diana:
"Hmmm...chocolate, "I said a bit dreamily before saying, "I don't know. About the training, I mean. Thunder and so on...I don't want you to get hurt, you know."

Leon:
The man laughed hard and said, "I like her, Leon. Definitely a fresh face." I turned to introduce Denise but didn't seem to spot him in the crowd. Turning back to our older friend, I said, "Well...Glad you do, Senior."
He turned serious and asked, "Is it true you're changing the company's business?"
I cleared my throat and said, "All in due time. I'll clarify everything in a few minutes. As soon as I find my best friend."

Marie:
I looked around excitedly, " I didn't know we were going to a place with so many people from Hollywood."

Diana:
"Okay...But if you stay outside, I'll stay here, too."

Leon:
"Well...I consider him my ... good luck rabbit foot."

Marie:
Jen had already taken some champaigne and handed him one. "Cheers?' She asked.

I gave her a smile, "You're not my lucky charm. You're the Goddess Fortuna."

Diana:
I smiled at him, "Chocolate it is." Looking around, I made sure no one was overhearing and said, "You know? Last time I was working at the library, I overheard one of the senior students saying that he found the hidden air temple....I kinda took notes...Maybe we should try to go there?"

Marie:
I chuckled, "Ahead of you."

Diana:
"I think it's....gonna be good for you to go sooo...I guess..." I took out the paper with the directions. "But...promise you'll be careful...Please?"

Leon:
I chuckled, "You inspire me, I think." I led her to the stage at front and said, "You're joining me up here."

Diana:
I smiled at him a little then said, "...Wanna go inside? I like the rain but I don't think you like being wet."

Leon:
I ushered to Thomas to join us who had been standing by a few businessmen. He joined me on stage and I cleared my voice. With everyone's attention back on stage, I said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, first allow us to welcome you to our small event and wish you a great evening."
Waiting for the applause to die, I said, "It's a great pleasure to have you all with us as Thomas and I take the next steps in our lives. We are... going through some exciting times and think that there's a major decision we need to make."
Taking a short breath, I said, "For thirty years, our company has been known for being the best in its industry. There was no country in the world that didn't depend on us. We're proud of all of that, but we don't think we can take this any longer."
Thomas held on my hand as everyone seemed to gasp. "We've decided to change the direction of the company to a more ... friendly ground. We no longer want to be part of warfare. Not as a company. We've decided to turn out attention to the entertainment business. As many of you know, that's my field of study and Thomas's future one, too. We do understand that's not heard of. We know we have some hard times ahead of us, but we guarantee you we'll do our best to make this transition as easy and painless as possible for everyone."
And the room became very quiet. I could see some of our clients becoming angry. Others just looking confused.

Diana:
I followed him inside. It was much warmer than outside. I liked being wet, but didn't like the cold much.

Leon:
Seeing the shock still around, I said, "We know this ... is a lot to take in, but please enjoy the rest of the evening." I said getting off stage with an arm around Ryan. Sarcastically, I said, "Well, that went great."

Leon:
I brought my voice down, "Yes...We still are...You, Denise and I. I don't want Thomas in this. And I want this company to be his ... protection in case things go wrong. I don't want him to carry the burden I had."

Diana:
Taking a sip of the hot chocolate after they placed the two mugs I asked, "Out of curiosity...When is your birthday?"

Leon:
"Hiding will only be temporarily. He will have to have some source of income and he has to move on. The only way for him to move on would be this. I'm taking the company away from the field. I'm taking it to a place I know he enjoys and has absolutely nothing to do with my plans." I explained.

Diana:
"I know you'll say this, but you know what? I'll find out." I said leaning back in my chair.

Diana:
"Well...I know people." I said folding my arms and smirking. "And maybe just maybe I can presuade you to tell me...You know? Save time?"


Leon:
"Welcome to my world."  I said chuckling and putting an arm around her. "I don't want him to pay for any stupidity on my part...Ryan...Are you sure you want to be...with me?"

Diana:
"Hmm...Not gonna tell you."  I said drinking some hot chocolate.

Leon:
"It will be crazy...And there's Thomas, too..." I said almost in a promise.
