Ditzy sighed happily as she rested her head on Shards left shoulder, the two enjoying each other's presence as they slow danced with various other couples. As she hugged him close and moved with him, Ditzy could feel Shards muscles under his clothing, causing her to blush and hold him tighter to feel more of his well toned body, being the perfect balance between thin and muscular.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself." Shard commented with a smirk.

"Of course I am, I'm dancing with a hunk like you aren't I?" Ditzy retorted in a sultry tone, which had a different than Ditzy was going for.

Shard chuckled and held her close. "Even when your trying to be sexy you just come across as adorable. I don't think there's anything you could do to be anything but cute."

'We'll see.' Ditzy thought. "Hey, where did Mise and Octavia go?"

Shard looked around. "Well, Octavia is over there talking to my aunt Quartz, and Mise is..." Shard had his suspicions on where Mise was, he looked over to a table near the bar and nodded. "As I thought, Mise is over there with my uncle Crush."

Ditzy looked over to see Mise laughing his ass off with a bottle of scotch in his hand beside a buff man with dark grey skin and messy green hair wearing a suit, his huge muscles clearly visible through his white shirt. "Um...are all the guys in your family muscular?" Ditzy asked with a raised brow.

"Nah, uncle Crush is in the military and I just train my body a lot. The only other men in my family that are as strong as Crush and I are my gruncle Smash and my cousin Cracks."

"Your family's names just get stranger and stranger." Ditzy said.

"This coming from miss Ditzy Doo." Shard teased.

"My named isn't that weird." Ditzy huffed.

"You're right. It's not weird." Shard said with a smile before boopomg noses with her. "It's wonderfully weird."

Ditzy blushed and smiled. "Why is it that you always know what to say to me?" She didn't let him answer as she planted a kiss on his lips. Shard shrugged and leaned into the kiss, enjoying the taste of chocolate chip muffins on Ditzy's lips.

"Alright everyone we're gonna take a short break and we'll be back soon, in the meantime plead welcome Lapis Phoenix to the stage." One of the musicians spoke through a microphone and everyone began walking to different tables. Shard led Ditzy to a table at the front and Mise and Octavia soon dat down with them, as well as Sapphire, Shards mother Aquamarine and Cybe. Cybe and Shard shared a quick glare before looking up to the stage where Lapis had stepped up.

"Thank you all for attending tonight's gathering. It's always nice to get the family and friends all together on nights like this." She spoke.

"Yeah as long as Shard doesn't try to flirt with some of the guests!" A voice yelled from the back row, causing everyone to laugh and for Shard to just roll his eyes.

"It was one time man!" He yelled back.

"Yeah one time she'll wish she can forget!" The voice called back.

"Oh yeah? Tell me, how's that divorce going with my cousin Emereld?!" The voice was silent. "I'm just kidding man I hope it goes well and that the guy as the judge is fair!"

"Actually the judge is a woman!" The voice called back.

"Oh well you're fucked." Shard said simply.

"*Ahem!* Anyway, I just wanted to say that I love it when all of us can be together for a night of socialising, romance and friendship. I truly love all of you, my family, my friends...and those that snuck in the back entrance." Everyone laughed as a few intruders ran for the exit. "Anyway, I don't have much more to say and the orchestra won't be back for another while, so why don't we have Shard come to the stage?"

Everyone cheered as Shard got out of his seat and jumped up to the stage while taking the microphone from Lapis.

"You have another story right?" Lapis asked quietly.

"Don't worry, I have a good one." Lapis nodded and returned to her own seat as Shard cleared his throat and turned to the audience. "Well since you all have nothing better to do tonight I guess I'll tell you a little story that happened to me a few years back in my old high school."

"This has got to be good." Mise said as he took a swing of his scotch.

"Ok, so I was about thirteen at the time so this was five years ago, just two years after signing the contract to CyCorp. Alright, so at my old school we had this teacher named Mr Lionheart, and his son, Jake Lionheart, went to this school with us in a about two years below me. Now, the thing you need to know is that Mr Lionheart was the scum of the earth, everyone hated him. He was an asshole and still is. Now, one friday a group of students found out that Jake was throwing a party at his house since Mr Lionheart was going a way for the weekend, which you should never do, if you're an asshole. So he starts going around inviting people to his party. So a group of us got together and we all had the same, exact idea." He paused for effect. "Let's go over there, and destroy the place." Everyone laughed and Shard caught a glimpse of Ditzy's smile.

"Ok, so I go over to the party and I find all of my friends there, everyone I knew from school was there. So I go down to the basement where most of the people were and some guy makes a running jump from the top of the basement stairs and lands on the pool table they had, breaking it in half. I just look and there's just a large crowd of drunk kids there, they had found Mr Lionhearts liquor cabinet and were drinking from those red cups you'd see in movies. Now, remember when I said we'd go over and destroy the place? Well, one of the students found out which room belonged to Mr Lionheart, so he went in, and took a shit on his computer."

Shard struggled not to laugh at what he was saying. "Alright. So I'll admit I had a few drinks at that party. At one point I was starting to get a little dizzy and I was blacking out a bit. I hear one of the guys say 'something something police.' And in a beautiful moment, of word organisation, I throw my cup down, and yell to the top of my lungs...FUCK THE POLICE!! FUCK THE POLICE!! And everyone started joining in." He was met with another round of laughter. "Now, the reason someone had said 'something something police,' is because the police were there."

Shard took a sip of a drink and continued while everyone laughed. "So a Canterlot Police guy walks down to the basement and finds a sea, of drunk children yelling fuck, da, police. He was almost impressed. Now he just casually leans into his walkie talkie and says, 'Get the patty wagon!' So a guy there named Luke, he was a senior in his final year I know this man he has a son, this man now has a baby. He lifted a beer bottle, smashed it against the ground and yelled SCATTER!!! So everyone is just running in different directions. I went into the laundry room and climbed out the window. So I run across the back yard and come face to face with a tall wire fence with barbed wire at the top and I remember saying 'I've never climbed a fence this high before' and then I woke up at home. With no memory of what happened after."

"So I go back to school on Monday and who do I find in the hallway but Jake Lionheart, he walks up to me and asked 'Hey, we're you at my party on Friday?' And I said no, you know like a liar. So he says, 'things got really outta hand, someone broke the pool table, someone took a shot on my dads computer. And worst of all,' he says, 'the worst of all is that someone stole some antique photos of my grandma.' And that got me thinking, a thought that only people with drunk amnesia, and Steve Urkle could have. Did I do that?" Laughter. "And I didn't know the answer...until two years later! Relax." He said. "So two years later I'm with my buddy Mavric playing video games when he says 'hey, I wanna show you somethin.' So I follow him into his bedroom, and into a room off his bedroom...never a good thing to have. And he just shows me this tiny room, covered wall to wall, in antique photos he had stolen from party's he's been to over the years." Insert PyraFlrea trying to break apart the paragraphs with scene of laughter. "And I ask him in a hushed disgusted voice, 'Why? Why do you do this?' And he just says, 'because it's the one thing you can't replace!'"

The room was filled with roaring laughter, even Cybe was chuckling. Although Shard wasn't paying attention to everyone's laughter, all he could hear was the bubbling laughter of his love, everything else just a buzzing in the background. He snapped out of his trance and handed the mic to Lapis who stopped him from leaving the stage. "Thank you Shard for that, I'm sure a lot of us nodded a laugh tonight. Now everyone, and by everyone I mean the Storm Family, I have a very special announcement that has to do with Shard here."

"Oh great..." Shard groaned.

"Our little curse bearer here has found and preformed the seal on his soulmate!" This was met with cheers from the members of Shards family, and there were a lot of them. "Miss Doo, can you please come up to the stage so everyone can get a look at you?"

Ditzy shyly walked up the steps to the stage and stood beside Shard while holding his hand.

"Everyone, please welcome Ditzy Doo to our strange and wonderful family!"

"WELCOME TO THE FAMILY DITZY!!!" Nearly every me,bet of the family yelled out in happiness.

"SCREW A QUIET EVENING, THIS CALLS FOR A CELEBRATION, LETS FUCKIN PARTY!!!" Crush yelled and was met with cheers of agreement.

Ditzy looked out at the shifting crowd, the quiet ball room that she had entered now being transformed into a welcome party. "Well Ditzy, how does it feel to know that you've got all these lovable idiots on your side?" Lapis asked.

Ditzy smiled and clung to Shards arm. "I feel that deciding to date Shard has been my greatest decision ever if I get a family like this."

Shard smiled warmly and brought her into a loving kiss, causing all of the females from the family to stop and 'Awww' at the sight.
