I listened to the two of them talk and I realised how wise they sounded. I had worked out that knowledge wasn't everything a long time ago when things had started going wrong but I hadn't worked out why. They were beginning to explain it to me and I couldn't help but wonder at them.
"I don't wanna be like that." I said and they smiled at me.
"Glad to hear it." Doc said.

I smiled widely at Charlotte and nodded to the building we'd just reached,
"This is it."
Charlie looked up at the crappy building, neon lights proclaiming its status as a motel on a grotty, dirty sign. "Home sweet home." I said with a smirk. I winked, "Trust me, the inside is better thanks to witchiness."

"It's...great." I said. A year ago I'd have turned my nose up at it but now...well I'd stayed at worse, and without magical improvements. I followed Maya inside and gasped when we reached her apartment-it really was better inside.

i grinned at her reaction- the apartment really wasn't much: just two rooms- the first consisting of a bed against one wall, a sofa in front of a tiny TV, and a little kitchen with a protruding counter in one corner, and the second a small bathroom. But unlike the other apartments in the building, the damp-rot was no where to be seen, the paint on the walls looked brand new (pale blue), and the wooden floor was polished rather than crappy thread bare carpet or bare boards.
"thanks." I said to Charlie. "I'm afraid i only got one bed- i'll take the couch for tonight, and we'll get you your own place tomorrow- cool?"

"I'll take the couch." I said quickly. "Giving me somewhere to stay is more than enough. You don't need to give up your bed too."
((Is Doc still here? Just wondering))

((think so. guess he'll go in a mo))
"You sure?" I asked. "You've been travelling..."
"The couch is really fine." She insisted, so i shrugged,
"Fine." I conceded. Doc smirked,
"You know thats what you were hoping she'd say." He teased me.
"Huh?" I asked innocently.
"You know exactly what i meant." He chuckled.

"So who exactly was that guy?" Maya asked me whilst carrying a pile of bedclothes.
"old aquaintance." I said bitterly. "I majorly pissed him off."
"Seems mutual." Doc commented and I semi-shrugged, semi-nodded.
"Yeah, we don't hit it off so well. Personality clash or something, oh and the fact that I killed half his miniony things not to mention cutting a bit off him the first time we met."
"Which bit?" MAya asked eyebrow raised and I laughed.
"The bit you're thinking about. I think he took it personally."

I couldn't help it, I gave a chuckle. And a wince.
"I like you girl," I said. "I get the feeling we'll get along just fine."

I snorted a laugh,
"I am so not gonna ask how you got into a situation where that was possible."
"Er, yah, 'specially while i'm here." Doc said awkwardly. I grinned at him, and chucked the pile of bed clothes on the couch.
"You guys wanna drink?" I asked.

"As much as I'd like to hang around an apartment alone with two beauties such as you, I have something I must attend to," I said, bowing with a flourish. "I bid you both goodnight," with that, I walked out, heading towards the Dojo. It wasn't like I was getting any sleep anyway.

I watched Doc go, feeling kind of sad about it which felt wierd beacause I had known him what? A few hours. I began to help Maya make up the couch but we were silent whilst doing so.
"Full story tomorrow?" MAya asked suddenly.
"Huh?" I responded.
"Well why you turned up in LA, how you know all the demon stuff...our standard get to know you procedure."
"Oh. Yeah. Tomorrow." I yawned.

"Good good." I said. I checked if she wanted anything, to which she shook her head, flopping on teh sofa. I changed, and got into bed.
"Night." I siad, and swtiched out the light.

I lay down for about a minute, just starting to process the day's events when I remembered the mental note I'd made myself.
"Maya?" I whispered.
"Yeah" She called back sleepily.
"What's with you and Joshua?" I asked. She groaned
"That's a long story."
