Royal Amos and Ted.

Ted was hunched over the pool table, lining up his next shot. "This party if either going to incredibly fun, or really boring." He muttered to Amos across the table from him. He thrusted the stick forward and watched as the q ball hit the solid purple ball into a corner pocket. He stood up straight. "Probably the first. I plan on slipping out half way through." He sighed rubbing his eye with the back of his hand.

"I'm hoping for incredibly fun. We're both legal to drink in the States. Why haven't you lot joined the rest of the smart world and dropped the drinking age to 18?" He grinned at him and lined up his own shot. "I'll bring the alcohol, and you can come to my room and we'll drink. You're officially Crown Prince, mate. It's worth drinking for."

"Yeah well, with our parents and such around its most likely to be mediocre at best." He mumbled as he pressed the end of the stick against the floor and used it to lean on. "Because Mary is around that's why. She needs time to mature before she's legally allowed to go drink in public." He joked shaking his head. "Sounds like a plan. I gotta bring Mare though. We formulated the plan together. She'll kill me if I flake out on her."

"That's true. We can have a separate afterparty then." He hit the shot and the q ball hit the striped green ball. "Sure, that's the only reason. How come I haven't seen her since she was like nine? I've been here for a day and I haven't seen her." He raised an eyebrow. "What's your plan?"

"It's a must. I won't have my 21st birthday be like Bellatrix Blacks 18th. I refuse to be so bored I consider lighting the place on fire." He chucked as he walked around the table and eyed up his next shot. "You don't know, Mary now. She been taking kickboxing for 5 years. She can kick both of our asses." He shrugged. "Well whenever you were here she was either off causing mayhem, or over seas at Andromedas." He sighed scratching his head. "That's who's she's with now. They're shopping for dresses and such."

He chuckled. "Thank god I got out of that one. Thank god for mandatory military service." He shook his head. "I hear wilder and wilder tales about her every other month. I assume half of them aren't true or you wouldn't have hair." He hummed. "How are things between you and Andromeda? Not over your little crush on her are you?"

"Lucky bastard. Mine didn't start until two weeks later. I wish I could have gotten out of that one." He jokingly scolded as he lined up a shot. He sighed. "Some are true. Most aren't. She mostly just likes to get out and try and live a normal life for a night. Have fun. The worst she does is drink and cause scenes." He explained and hit the q ball. He missed the shot. "Normal? We don't talk too much. The normal amount for someone who's my sisters best friend." He shrugged. "Oh shut up, and play the game you asshole."

"Boot camp probably seemed like a breeze compared to that hell," he teased. "I figured. I don't blame her for trying to be a normal person. I'm lucky that Australia is so far out of the way that no one really pays attention to me. Otherwise some of those unauthorized trips would have landed me in a shitload of trouble." He shook his head. "You like her. I would have assumed that you would have been trying to talk to her more." He smirked. "Sure, mate, I'll shut up as soon as you do something about it."

"It was so much easier. I'll take the gas chamber over that place any day." He groaned dramatically. He nodded and he ruffled his hair. "Yeah, you are lucky. Poor Mare can't walk down the street without a headline of her doing something completely ridiculous. You know they once made an article about how they were '110% positive' that she was doing pills. All because she was jet lagged from a trip back from London." He sighed, scrunching his face up in annoyance. "So what? Just because I like her doesnt mean I have to do anything." He defended glaring at Amos. "Seriously just drop it. I'll make a move when I damn well feel like it okay?"

He chuckled. "Pretty much." He shook his head. "That's really shitty. I remember Andie bitching about that in an email." He took his shot. "Mary gets the short end of the stick and Jesus Christ, they're dicks about everything." He rolled his eyes. "Which should be soon because Andie's crush on you is growing by the day and everyone can see it."

"I emailed the company and reamed them out. They apologized profusely, but refused to take the article down. My parents were livid." He went on as he aimed up another shot. He grunts and shook his head. "She doesn't have a crush on me. You're delusional." He snorted taking his shot and making another ball in.

"I don't blame you. I think Andie was about to do the same." He remembered the apology that the company put out. It had sounded insincere on some level, but now he knew it was because the Tonks' had pressured them into it. "Everyone with eyes can see how Andie Black looks at you. She has a crush and I am not delusional."

"Well it's nice to know she was considering it. She's a good friend to my littler sister, and I couldn't ask anything better for my trouble making sibling." He smiled as she leaned on the stick again. He really was tired talking about this. He has enough from Mary the last few days bugging him over it. The last thing he wanted was his friend doing the same. "Okay man, whatever you say. Can we seriously talk about something else? I've got enough of this from Mare the last few days."
