She held her tightly, tears falling on her shoulder. "Thank you..."

"Come on. Lets go have fun." She turned her head and saw Gayelette.

"Hi Mummy," she trotted out, knowing she'd been spotted. "I was just coming to check on you. I knew you'd come out here. I didn't see Ellie come out here with you..."

"I'm fine, sweetie. I was just about to go inside..." she linked arms with Gayelette and Ellie. "Let's go have fun, girls!"

Ellie made her way inside with them. Everyone was staring. Was it at her? Or Claire?

She tried to breeze on in like nothing was wrong. Everything felt wrong, but she was going to try her best for it not to feel that way. Or at least not appear that way. She drug both the girls in with her. "So what does it feel like to party with your mom..."

"Well, when your mom happens to be one of the most popular girls at Shiz...it's alright." she giggled.

"Um...Claire, I'm not sure if I really belong here" she was growing uncomfortable by the stares. Why were they doing this?

"Aww, c'mon Aunt Ellie! You're the toast of Shiz, a hero. You're perfectly popular too. You belong here!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Why everyone's been talking about your bravery with the Nome King! And how you faced death...and came out immortal! Why everyone positively idolizes you, Ellie. You may not see it in yourself, but you're popular, terribly popular! And you know, the fact that you don't see it, makes you even more charming. Of course everyone wishes they could be a part of the treasured two, you and my mom...the two of you have such an enviable friendship!"

Ellie for once was speechless. She looked at Claire. Immortal? How had everyone found out? The more she did nothing the more she intregued people? What was going on?

"Oh come come, Aunt Ellie. You must have had some idea! You look flabberghasted!"

"I...I..." words just wern't coming. Well, so much for intimidating Gayelette. But somehow, the more flustered she appeared at her "popularity" the more awe appeared in Gayelette's eyes.
