"What is it now?" Taeyeon groaned as they entered Sooyoung's office

"I think you should know what it is, Danshin" Sooyoung smiled

Taeyeon growled under her breath as she took a seat and slumped onto it

"I've heard something that I haven't heard in a long time" Sooyoung started

Taeyeon rolled her eyes

"That doesn't mean anything. Just wanted her to win the competition. She's destroying the music sheets later" Taeyeon answered bluntly

"I never said it meant anything. I'm just wondering why you would suddenly give that song to her JUST so she could remain being your friend." Sooyoung gave a skeptical look.

Taeyeon froze. She had no idea why she wanted to keep Tiffany as her friend. She has only ever been close to Yuri, Yoona and the other immortals. She never wanted to socialize with anyone else.

*Why did you Taeyeon? It was just the blur of the moment. Yeah I'm sure that's it* Taeyeon thought through

"Didn't think. You know I hate things getting taken away from me right?" Taeyeon gave a cold stare at Sooyoung.

"Listen I'm sorry about what happened. I really am. But I really had faith that she would make it through" Sooyoung sighed.

"Whatever" Taeyeon mumbled

Sooyoung stared at the stubborn Taeyeon.

"And because I'm sorry about what happened I'll give you this warning. Don't get attatched with any humans." Sooyoung's sounded like she was begging.

"I'm not getting attatched" Taeyeon spat back

"Then stop seeing that Tiffany. I can see that she's starting to change your resolve." Sooyoung threw her arm in the air

"She's not." Taeyeon answered again

"Taeyeon could you give me a full answer instead of statements. You gave that girl the song you composed for MiYoung so that she could remain being your friend. You've been seeing her for everyday tutoring her. You take her home whenever it's late. You've even started letting your guard down around her" Sooyoung raised her voice

"Wait... How'd you know I take her home?" Taeyeon sat up straight and stared into Sooyoung's eyes

"A bunny told me." Sooyoung answered bluntly

"Bunny? I thought the saying was A birdie told me" Taeyeon raised her eyebrow

"Well this time I talked to a rabbit." Sooyoung answered back sarcastically

Taeyeon bit her tongue to hold back the curses she was about to release.

"I'm just saying don't get too close to those humans. That Jessica girl looks like SooYeon too. Don't let the past take over Taeyeon." Sooyoung's voice sounded sincere

"Just stay out of my life like you should have 150 years ago" Taeyeon stormed out of the room.

"I'm really sorry Taeyeon" Sooyoung whispered as a wave of guilt washed over her.

*She still doesn't forgive you for what you did to MiYoung.* Sooyoung let out a pathetic laugh.

 

 

Meanwhile Tiffany and Jessica were running down the aisles of the grocery store, picking up anything they could get.

"Jessica... I don't think we can pay for this" Tiffany stared at the full trolley

"We can't, but Yuri can" Jessica smiled as she took out a few hundred dollar bills

Tiffany's eyes popped open

"Yuri gave these to us so we could buy stuff. Don't go thinking to wrong thing" Jessica frowned

Tiffany smiled. She knew how rich the Elites were

"By the way. That locket is pretty cute" Jessica stared at the locket on Tiffany

"Haha, thanks" Tiffany smiled

She held the locket in her hands and smiled even more.

*Finally found her.... wait.... That song was over 50 years old right?* Tiffany stopped walking

Jessica stopped and stared at her strangely

"Forgot how to walk or something?" Jessica crossed her arms

*.... Taeyeon can't be....* Tiffany tilted her head to the side

".... This girl has gone mad" Jessica scoffed

*I'm sure her grandma gave it to her. Yes. That's probably it* Tiffany nodded and smiled

Jessica went up and clicked her fingers in front of Tiffany

"Do you need a doctor? I'm sure I can afford your hospital bills. You really need help" Jessica raised her eyebrow at Tiffany

"Huh? Why would I need a doctor?" Tiffany stared at Jessica with curious eyes

"First you forget how to walk, then you start tilting and nodding your head in the middle of a store. Yeah sure that sounds pretty sane to me" Jessica said sarcastically

"Oh that. I was just thinking" Tiffany gave an embrassed smile

"Sure. Let's go" Jessica rolled her eyes and continued to the check out.

*I'll ask Taeyeon about it at the party* Tiffany decided as they left the grocery store.

 

"Okay so we got enough alcohol?" Yuri concluded

Yoona held up four bottles and SeoHyun held up another two.

"Remember our target." Yoona warned

Just then Jessica and Tiffany entered

"Woahh... Is this where you live Yuri?" Tiffany's jaw dropped

Jessica just stood there with her arms beside her and an 'are you serious?' look on her face

"Well me and Yoona. If this amazes wait till you see Taeyeon's. She lives there alone too" Yuri smiled

Jessica shook her head and headed to the kitchen. Shortly though she came out with a pout

"What is it Jess?" Tiffany patted Jessica's head

"I can't find the kitchen" Jessica whined

Tiffany laughed

"Here." Yuri came and took the groceries to the kitchen

The kitchen was huge

"Now this is just mocking us" Jessica commented as she stared at the designer kitchen

"We got it put in not long ago" Yuri smiled

"Put in?" Tiffany raised her eyebrow

"She meant renovated" Yoona came up from behind and nudges Yuri's rib

"Yeah, renovated" Yuri smiled

"Watch what you say" Yoona whispered from the side of

"Sorry" Yuri whispered back

"Where's Tae?" Yoona looked around for Taeyeon

"She had to talk with Sooyoung" Tiffany answered as she took the stuff out from the shopping bags.

SeoHyun started blowing up balloons and decorating the living room.

"Letme help you SeoHyunnie~" Yoona exclaimed as she skipped to SeoHyun

SeoHyun giggled as Yoona popped a balloon in her face

*Dangerous things this century has* Yoona shook her head

"You don't blow too much. Stop when it's big enough" SeoHyun laughed as she held up the remains of the balloon.

Yuri and Jessica were in charge of the food and snacks.

*How to work this thing* Yuri stared at the stove

"Don't you know how to cook?" Jessica came up and stared at Yuri

"Not really no." Yuri sighed

"What do you eat?" 

*Nothing* Yuri thought cheekily

"Taeyeon cooks for us" Yuri lied

"I honestly wonder how she can deal with you two" Jessica sighed 

*For 90 years too* Yuri chuckled

Tiffany was looking through her ipod for music and creating a playlist.

"Hey Yuri. Do you have a dock?" Tiffany called out

*Now that's something about technology I do know* Yuri smiled as she went to get the iPod dock

"Chodings!" a voice called out

"Appa Tae!" Yoona cried out

There was a grunt of disgust

Tiffany and Jessica laughed

"Yuri's your appa." Taeyeon pushed Yoona away

Yoona pouted

"Hey Taeyeon. How do you look after these two?" Jessica laughed

"I honestly don't know myself. Hey SeoHyun, how do you deal with Jessica and Tiffany" Taeyeon scratched her head

Jessica threw a chip packet at Taeyeon while Tiffany threw a pillow. Taeyeon naturally dodged them all

"Oh Taeyeon. You're here." Yuri came out with the dock

Taeyeon rolled her eyes as she made her way to the kitchen

"Woah." Taeyeon exclaimed at the new kitchen

"Taeyeon. Help me please. Apparently you're the only one who can cook in the Elites" Jessica shot a glare at Yuri

Taeyeon also shot a glare at Yuri. Luckily though, Taeyeon helped Leeteuk at the restuarant

"I thought I was here for a party.... not to prepare it" Taeyeon mumbled

"hey same goes for me" Tiffany shrugged

Jessica nodded in agreement

 

 

Soon they were finished with the cooking and the party was starting

"Congratulations to Tiffany, who beat that stuck up Linda at her own game. Cheers!" Yuri yelled

Everyone laughed as they took a sip at their drinks except Tiffany

Yuri nudged Yoona and Yoona nodded

"Hey Tiffany. Drink up. We're celebrating your success here" Yoona persuaded

Tiffany just smiled and took a drink from her cup

Yoona turned around and gave Yuri the thumbs up

Taeyeon however was not celebrating. She was sitting in the corner of the couch and watching movies on her iPad.

Tiffany decided to go thank Taeyeon and sat next to her.

"Why aren't you celebrating?" Tiffany asked

Taeyeon just looked up at Tiffany and back down to her iPad

"Not much of a drinker" Taeyeon answered

"Ahhh" Tiffany nodded her head slowly

"Well, I just wanted to say... Thank you..." Tiffany's voice trailed off

Taeyeon lifted her head and looked at Tiffany curiously

"Sorry what was that?" Taeyeon didn't hear what Tiffany was saying

Tiffany took a deep breath

"ThankYouForHelpingMeWinAgainstLinda" Tiffany sped through her sentence

"Slow down I didn't catch any of that" Taeyeon shook her head

Tiffany pouted

"Thank you Taeyeon. For teaching me piano... and for helping me win.... and for never giving up" Tiffany said sincerely as she looked down at her fingers

Taeyeon smiled at the embarrased Tiffany

"No problem. Now go party with YoonYul" Taeyeon nodded her head towards Yuri and Yoona who were waving at Tiffany to come join them

"Nehh~" Tiffany smiled and joined the party while Taeyeon refocused on the iPad

As the party went on Yuri, Yoona and Jessica kept making Tiffany drink more and more.

By 9:30 Tiffany was already drunk and Yuri and Yoona decided that she was drunk enough for the plan to proceed

"Taeyeon-ah!" Yuri called out

Taeyeon put her iPad down and went over to them

"Yeah, what?" Taeyeon said annoyingly

"Can you take Tiffany home? She looks like she's had enough. We'll clean up here" Yoona pointed to the limp body on the couch

Taeyeon rolled her eyes at Tiffany

Yuri and Yoona escaped to the kitchen before Taeyeon could ask them anything.

"Why do I always end up carrying you?" Taeyeon mumbled as she popped Tiffany onto her shoulders.

Yuri, Yoona, SeoHyun and Jessica were watching from the side of the wall as Taeyeon exited Yuri's house

".... Tae's going to punish us again" Yoona said worriedly

"..... I can imagine it now" Yuri winced at the image

"She's gunna make us drink the river next" Yoona suddenly said

"Or dig for gold in the middle of the park....." Yuri added

"Or maybe even make us carry her to Europe on the couch" Yoona let out a scream

Jessica looked at them wierdly

"Well whatever you guys are talking about stop it for a while. We need to clean up" Jessica then went back to the living room and started cleaning up.

Yuri and Yoona's shoulders slumped as they dreaded their punishment
