She heard the door click open and slam.
"Who was that?" Asked Lucius with eyes shut tight.
"Athena" Said Morrie in a calm tone.
"Are we still going to watch a movie together?" Asked Lucius.
"Yeah, want some chocolate?" Said Morrie.
He reached out and missed.
"That's not candy" Said Morrie.
"I am pretty sure it's a marshmallow" Said Lucius.
"Trust me, it's not"
She guided his hand to a small box and pulled a candy out. He ate it without a second thought. She had done it.
Stage 2 completed!
The chocolate had a five percent alcohol content. She grabbed his hand and walked with him to her house. Hex, Scarlet and Aurora were waiting there for the experiment.
"How do you feel?" Asked Morrie.
He pulled her close and held her by the waist.
"It depends" He replied with a tone so smooth she could feel the words flow from his mouth.
"On what?"
She replied with the same warm feeling growing on her face. He leaned in and kissed her cheek.
"You, because I just felt something beautiful" Said Lucius placing his ring finger beneath her chin.
She didn't know what to do so she turned away and smiled to herself. She reached out of her sleeve and held his hand. She could not stop the feeling but he seemed absolutely normal. They arrived and he seemed a bit out of it.
"Would you care to dance?" Lucius asked.
She only nodded and took his hand.
He seemed so calm. She saw the look in his eyes and they said nothing. The lack of emotion in them told her he was not himself at all. She felt wrong.
Maybe this was actually a bad idea…
She wished she hadn't done this. She knew all she felt was regret. She felt his hand turn her face towards him.

"Please don't do that. I can't stand seeing you sad. Will you smile for me?" He asked with a half smile.
She could not resist and smiled despite feeling bad.
"Thanks, I really needed that" he uttered.
They walked to her room and found everyone waiting. Allison was also there to her surprise. He saw something that made him freeze.
"So let's all go watch a movie" Said Hex.
They all walked to a massive room in her house. They sat down and a movie began to play. Lucius wasn't looking at she screen. He seemed to think they were the feature film.
"You're cute" Lucius told her.
Morrie didn't know what to say.
"Thanks" She whispered.
Aurora was sitting next to him as well. He fell asleep a few minutes later.
"Should we do it now?" Asked Hex.
"Who's going to pick him up" Asked Morrie.
"I will" Said Allison and Aurora.
They picked him up by his hands and feet. They dropped him on Morrie's bed.
"Lets just leave him there he should be able to pick the rest of himself up" Said Morrie.
"But what about evidence?" Asked Hex.
"Like what kind of evidence?" Asked Morrie.
Hex felt her way around the bed and found him. She kissed him and left a mark on his cheek. The lipstick was perfect. They all decided to go shopping. Morrie looked at several kinds of shorts. Allison insisted they would look good on her. She chose a few pairs and liked the change from her usual sweatpants. They all walked around and got snacks.
"What do you think he will say?" Asked Aurora.
Morrie believed she had enough information to understand his mind. She knew he was cold and at times heartless. But felt like he was at least human.

"Probably deny that it happened"
"What do you think?" Asked Hex.
"I think he will run away" Said Allison
"I think he will do something sweet" Said Aurora.
"I think he will ask to try again to make sure" Said Hex.
"That would make the situation very interesting" Said Morrie with a smile.
"Are you saying you would let him?" Asked Hex with a wink.
"No" Said Morrie slowly.
She had never had any intimate relationship but she felt like Lucius would be the kind of person she could fall in love with. She shook the idea from her mind.
She liked him as a friend and nothing more. She knew this like she knew he was not the kind of boy to fall in love in a girl like her.
They all got something knew to add to their outfits. Aurora got skirts instead of her usual dresses. Hex got a few new shirts and a jacket that hugged her. Allison got a few hats and hair ties. Scarlet was in a way forced to choose what clothing she wanted by Morrie.
"So who is going to tell him?" Asked Hex.
"Me, you and Aurora" Said Morrie.
"Wait me too?" Asked Aurora.
"Yes you, I asked you about this. Why does this bother you?" Asked Morrie.
Morrie wanted to know if she felt bothered by this for the same reasons as Aurora.
"Well I just think he will be mad at us" Said Aurora.
Morrie felt like that was only part of the reason. Even she felt it would be a very uncomfortable. She wondered what he would think of her. They would find out when they got home.
"Well let's go find out, he should be awake by now" Said Morrie.
They got in a large car and were driven back. They walked to her room and turned the lights on. She flipped the switch and nothing happened the lights didn't turn on or so it seemed. Hex walked into the darkness without fear until he was out of the light of the other room.
"Is it just me or is this room really cold" Said Hex shivering.
Morrie pulled her out of the room
"Something feels wrong"
"Lucius!?" Yelled Morrie and Aurora.
They heard a slow shuffling moving towards them. They moved back and something moving towards the light. Lucius was standing in only his underwear. The rest of his clothing was thin pieces of string.
"I can explain" Said Lucius as light began to grow in the room.
"Is he naked?" Asked Hex.
"Almost" Said Allison with a hint of joy.
"What happened?" Asked Morrie.
"Well you see, I can't remember anything" Said Lucius.
His eyes looked calm to the maximum extent.
"Would any of you just so happen to have some spare clothing?" Asked Lucius.
They smiled "Yes we do"
They had all the clothing they had bought at the store. She left the bags into room and told Lucius to pick whatever he likes. They were smiling outside thinking about what he would have on. They heard a strange noise. Morrie remembered and looked under the door. She was pulled away by Raven.
