"Come'on come'on! Move it move it move it move it!"

"I'm moving it! At least let me grab a jacket!" "No time! We gotta go now!"

With a loud slam and a small curse, Nathaniel found himself standing outside the building he had just been so rudely shoved out of. "…huh. What just happened?"

"I pushed you out of your fancy pansy office, that's what just happened! Now get MOVING! We have to get to Bartimaeus before Jane does!" Roshi exclaimed, pushing the protesting magician along.

"Why didn't you just get me to summon him!?" "….didn't think of that. No time now!" "Ugh! Why did I agree to this!?" "….Actually, I don't think you did. It just kind of happened." "I hate you." "Glad to hear it! OI, DJINNI BOY!"

Bartimaeus head snapped up so sharply his neck cracked. "Who what when where!?" He yelped, barely managing to stop himself from falling into the water fountain he was perched on. "Oh!...It's just Natty boy. And who's this pretty lady?"

"You flatter me. My names Roshimito, Roshi or Get-away-from-me-you-insane-girl-I-do-NOT-love-Bartimaeus!" The more then slightly unbalanced girl beamed at him.

"Wait, what?" The djinni blinked in bewilderment.

"You took the words RIGHT out of my mouth…" Nathaniel muttered darkly.

Roshi giggled insanely. "Don't worry, I'm sure he'll replace them with something MUCH more pleasant."

Her perverted comment was rewarded with two blank looks and the bad pun-banana hitting her in the forehead. "Oi oi! What's all this then? I didn't even MAKE a pun!" She protested loudly to the cruel treatment.

"…she's nuts!" Bartimaeus shouted.

"Yup, completely and totally off her rocker." Nathaniel agreed with a sad nod of his head. "But unfortunately she's also adequate at tying knots and pulling things out of thin air."

"…….huh?" "Never mind."

Roshi continued to pout, and thus didn't notice the doom approaching until it was to late.

A voice that sounded like melted chocolate oozed into the air, practically dripping with seductiveness. "Hello Barty hun-YOU!"

Roshi squawked, springing to her feet at the accusation. "YOU!" She cried out in return, jabbing a finger at the person also jabbing a finger at her.

"Who's she?" "Which one?" "The blue haired one who looks like some kind of doll or something." "Oh. I do believe Roshi called her Jane." "Ah."

"What are YOU doing here!?" "My names Roshi, not YOU thank you very much!" The two girls were shooting daggers at eachother.

"….so….see any good shows lately?" "Are you actually trying to have civilized convertation with me?" "Uuuh….yes?" "….no. I have little time for TV shows." "Right. The whole 'big shot' thing. Psh. Stupid magicians." "Shut up djinni!" "Yes sir!"

Bartimaeus mock saluted and Nathaniel ground his teeth. "Stupid arrogant demon!" "THAT'S IT!"

"No fighting you two!" "Don't hurt my Barty-hunny!"

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL HIM!?" Roshi yelled.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!?" Bartimaeus yelled.

Snicker. "Barty-hunny." Nathaniel chuckled to himself.

"Don't call him that!" Jane shrieked, pointing at the magician and using her djinni powers to light the ground under his feet on fire.

"Wholy crap!" He sprang backwards and dove behind Bartimaeus, who under the magicians spell had to protect him even if he didn't want to. Which he did. Because it gave him an excuse to throttle the moron who DARED call him Barty-hunny.

"Stay away from him!" Bartimaeus growled, bracing himself against the ground.

Jane pouted cutely. "Aaaaw, I know you can't hurt me Barty-hunny!"

"THAT'S IT!" Prior to popular belief, it wasn't the djinni who throttled Jane. Nor, unfortunately, was it Nathaniel. Nope; Roshimito pounced on the girl and started a cat fight.

"….Wow….she also covers as a nice bodyguard!" Bartimaeus nodded approvingly.

Nathaniel just muttered darkly to himself about being surrounded by mental patients.

Unfortunately this time he wasn't ignored. "I am not mental!" The djinni glowered at him. Nathaniel glared right back.

So thus started the glaring contest, while the two girls continued scratching and biting eachother in the background.
