Natalie's smirk grew wider, making her look more sinister than ever. "PUUUURFECT,"she purred, cackling maliciously. "That can be delightfully arranged, dear." Her eyes etched towards her phone. "So many ideas. You still want him not injured right?"she asked, casually. "Still alive. Not run over by a truck, etc.?"

Emma looked nervously at the Weasley, wondering if this had been a good idea after all. She sat silently until Natalie starting asking the questions. "What?!" Emma gasped. "Of course I want him alive and uninjured! Why wouldn't I?" She asked, shocked at Natalie's thinking and now fairly sure that this was a bad idea.

"Just making sure, hun,"mumbled Natalie, trying her best to restrain her snicker. "Just chekin' to see how serious you are,"she added, now staring out the door with a glazed look in her eyes. "Ok, then. Errr,"she averted her eyes back to Emma. "I don't think it'll be that difficult. Give me. A week, two weeks tops. "

"A week or two? You can do it that fast?" Emma asked, amazed. "Wait...what exactly do you plan on doing?..." She asked nervously, looking up at Natalie again. Pictures of Aaron under the Imperius Curse picking up flowers and chocolate were running through her mind.

Natalie seemed to have read her mind. Her eyes narrowed and her smirk twisted down into a look of disapproval. "Honestly Emma. I may be reckless, and sometimes inhumane. But I DO have limits. No wands,"she said, quickly, shaking her head. "I promise,"she replied, looking up at Emma. "And no pranks either,"the redhead added, mulling over what other physical pain she could produce.

"No kicking, punching, elbowing, scratching, burning, drowning, choking, strangling, bone-breaking, threatening, blackmailing, bribing, potions, or any other form of magical or physical persuasion," Emma said, as if she had the whole thing memorized. Which she did. She had lived with Jake for two decades, after all...

"Now if I don't use some form of physical persuasion,"said Natalie coolly,"how on earth am I going to open and close my mouth in order to talk and persuade Aaron to ask you out?" She had been used and had heard this irksome list many times throughout her life. Mostly from her mother. "Honestly. You children today are so picky!"she threw up her hands in mock frustration.

"You can talk," Emma allowed, narrowing her eyes. "But still no threatening, blackmailing, bribing, lying, or anything that I would not let you do if I knew what you were doing," she added, sealing all the loopholes she could think of. "Deal?" She asked, raising an eyebrow questioningly. If Natalie said yes and then broke the deal...she would not like what happened as consequence.

"Sure,"said Natalie, a little too quickly. With years of experience of pranking, she easily found several loopholes in Emma's deal. "I mean. I promise,"she said, solemnly, nodding her head. "And I understand what the consequences to breking the deal are,"she added, quickly with a shudder.

"You do?" Emma asked, surprised. ((I don't even know what they are yet...)) "Well. OK. I guess I'll see you later then. I gotta go," she said, standing up and leaving. She snapped her fingers on the way out and suddenly Jake appeared in the chair. "Woah..." He muttered, looking around.

(( Haha.. Something harsh...o.O;; ))
Natalie broke out into fits of laughter, grinning at the plot emerging in her head. Her smile faltered as Jake appeared in the chair. "Errr,"she said softly, shifting her feet, uncomfortably. "Hey,"she greeted, half-heartedly. Her eyes traveled to the open envelope at the edge of the counter, then back to Jake.

//Ah. OK then.//
Jake looked nervously at Natalie and then saw the open envelope and smiled. "So...did you like your gift?" He asked cautiously, still half-smiling. He glanced at it again, and noticed that the envelope had been opened rather quickly, as the tears were rough and not exactly neat...

"Maybe,"replied Natalie, softly, lowering her eyes. She glanced over at the half-torn apart envelope. Blushing slightly, she looked back up, eyes furious. She glared at him for a few short moments. "You're such an IDIOT,"shouted Natalie, rather bluntly.

Jake flinched. "I'm...an...idiot?" He repeated slowly. "Dang, I KNEW I got the wrong Beater..." He suddenly said sarcastically, as if he had figured out that that was why she was insulting him. "I could go get one from someone else if you want," he asked, trying to keep a serious face, as if this were worth his life.

Natalie shook her head furiously. She had shut her eyes to keep herself from leaking again. "You're a big stupid meanie!"she cried out, balling her fists up and wiping her now-teary eyes. "Why did you have to be so nice?!"the redhead continued, more tears seeping out.

This was a new one. Jake half-blushed, thinking of a sarcastic, cynical answer. Failing to do so, he said, "Er...I don't know, I guess I'm just awesome like that." That's the best I can come up with? He thought to himself. "Plus...you didn't think it was nice in the back room," he said, eager to get back to the whole 'mad-at-Jake' stuff. At least that was familiar territory.

"Well that was before when you were acting like a total prat who couldn't keep his hormones in check!"shouted Natalie loudly. Several witches who had been window shopping stopped and stared at the pair through the window. The redhead didn't seem to notice and continued crying, more tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I thought you knew I was joking!" Jake protested, ignoring the dark looks some of the witches were giving him. "It's not like I snog every fan I have...I can barely stand being with some of them long enough for an autograph...they can be pretty annoying..." He muttered, off topic.

The red-head completely ignored Jake's first comment. "Not like you snog all your fans. But you snog some of them?"grimaced Natalie, wiping the tears from her eyes. "That's comforting to know,"she snapped, her anger returning to her slowly and steadily.

"I was over exaggerating, I don't snog ANY of them," Jake said, rolling his eyes. "IF I were to do that, I'd have the decency to break up with you first...WHICH I don't want to do..." He added hastily. Wonderful, here comes more yelling... He thought grimly, sighing.

She paused for a moment, eyeing him warily. "How do I know you're telling the truth?"she whispered, unexpectedly. The words had flown right out of her mouth. Natalie felt a burning sensation in her cheeks as they flushed a crimson red. The redhead looked down at her feet, shuffling them awkwardly from side to side.

"Natalie..." Jake sighed. "If you don't trust me enough to believe that I haven't cheated on you..." He started, and sighed again. "Find some Veritaserum," He said finally, although he hated the idea of not being able to lie. What if he said something stupid and messed something up? But oh well, hopefully it would be worth it...

"Yes, but how do I know you haven't been downing yourself with Veritaserum antidotes or something?"Natalie retorted, looking back up at him. "And besides, I didn't say I didn't believe you. But I didn't say I believed you either,"she added, quickly. Uggh.. I'm confusing myself, again. She rubbed her temples slowly. "Ah. Headache. Headache. Headache,"she mumbled to herself, slinking slowly to the ground, breathing heavily.

"Anything, Natalie. Anything at all, I really don't care," Jake said, trying desperately to convince her that he was still the same loyal person he had always been, and continuing his attempts at thinking of a way to prove it. "Nats?" Jake asked, automatically stepping forward to help her as she slunk to the floor. There was a grim thought running through his mind, but he pushed it away.

She winced several times, now clutching the sides of her head. "Ah. Migranes. Those are always fun,"Natalie groaned, looking up and managing a meek grin. "I seriously think this is Fate's way of saying , 'Give it up Natalie. Just believe him or suffer under the wrath of headaches and excruciating migranes',"she winced again.
