This was originally gonna be called 'Caleb's Liaison', but I figured 'Alchemy' was just as appropriate.

I actually think this is gonna be a lot less chapters, but that's mostly because there will be no more 300word ones, unless in Kandrakar.

"Okay girls, thime for a pop quiz!" Will mimicked her new history teacher Mr Collins.

"A what now?" Irma looked up from her cookie with undisguised repulsion. "Haven't you noticed babe? Schools out. And I don't do extra credit."

Will only rolled her eyes at the brunette's joke. "Nope. Haven't you noticed? Since W.I.T.C.H., we've been almost snake-chow a little more often than before."

"A little I guess." Irma mumbled.

"It's my job to keep you alive, so I figured it might be a good idea to keep you up to date on heroes 101." Will grinned, pulling out a stack of cards. Taranee's eyes sparkled.

"Oh! Like know your enemies.."

"The things that try to eat us."

"..Plans of attack.."

"Stop said thing from eating us."

"..Knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses.."

"If in doubt, hide behind Cornelia; Taranee's good too, but she's afraid of everything.."

"Is that all you got for weaknesses?"

Irma frowned, thinking through this answer, the others looked at her expectantly, waiting for the sarcasm. The water guardian shrugged. "Will has no powers."

Will turned to finish Taranee's list with, "What to do in case of an emergency, such as me accidentally pushing Irma off a cliff, instead of a monster.. Exactly that sort of thing."

Irma mock-scowled. "What I'd probably do is fly back and kick your lousy ass."

"Grandma thinks it's a great idea too, so I'm in!" Hay Lin sat down next to Will on the basement floor.

Will smiled, turning to face Irma's back, which was turned to her as the girl sulked at the idea of a test, "Of course you are Hay Lin. This isn't optional."

Irma turned her head, still not looking at Will and snapped, "Then where is our blonde friend? I'm sure we had one."

"She asked me last night, for permission to spend the day with Elyon. They're going to the mall."

Hay Lin smiled brightly, "Hey! That's where Caleb went! How cute is that! I bet they meet each other!"

"I bet he gets lost first." Will rolled her eyes.

Taranee laughed, "Chances she dumps Elyon at the shoe store and spends the day with Caleb siting in the food court are actually a toss up."

"The irony of the only person in the food court drooling being someone who isn't interested in the food."

"Only because you aren't there."

"Actually, I don't like mall food."

"Irma, I've seen you like the look of floor food."

...

"So, do you think Will enjoyed her party then?" Cornelia smiled, confused by Elyon's seemingly innocent question as they sifted through the hangers, occasionally pulling something out and looking at it in various angles. They were not shopping for any junk.

"I guess so.. What do you care anyway.. I thought you hated Will?" Cornelia kept her eyes fixed on Elyon, looking for a flaw in her chastity.

"I DO NOT hate Will!" Elyon over-exaggerated her appaledness of Cornelia's words, and the young girl faltered unde her friend's hard gaze. "I don't hate her anymore okay! I was acting silly: Matt probably doesn't even know I exist, so if she wants him too, at least one of us will enjoy him." Cornelia smiled, 'What was he; a cake?'

"Elyon?" Cornelia had made her face very blank and reached up to grab her best friend's cheeks, pulling at them mock-experimentally, "Elyon Brown? Is that really you, or has your body been taken over by some charitable alien life-force!"

"Oh, shut up!" Elyon pulled a top against her chest, checking it out in the mirror. "You and Alchemy are so lucky! You two get attention from the older, more sophistcated guys.. Like Caleb!"

"Yeah?" Cornelia looked up with interest. "I mean yeah, I guess we do." Cornelia stepped away from the rail. "You should try that on El'. It's cute."
