Cupid's Test by Megan Grooms Page B

and you won’t have cell service what if we need you?”
    “That’s the point, to not have a cell phone. That way I can’t be interrupted. Whatever happens I will take care of it when I get back ok?” Carl nodded sighing there was no way he was going to change his friends mind.
    “Goodnight, good luck while I’m gone.” Jay calle d out as he rolled up the window while he drove away. This was exactly what he needed. He was far too stressed to be any good to anyone. Fresh air always helped him clear his head. He took off toward the mountains right away stopping when he got tired and getting a motel room to sleep for the night. Waking the next day he realized he had slept later than he wanted to. It was already 10 in the morning and he had a few hours of driving left. He climbed into his truck and headed out. Just before the camp ground he stopped and refilled his coolers with ice. As he drove through the mountains he noticed the sky getting darker. Driving a bit faster he hoped to have his campsite set up before the storm came in.
    Driving all the way to the last campsite the place had he knew he wouldn’ t be bothered. No one would be stupid enough to camp when it was this cold anyway.  Jay set up his campsite quickly and started a fire, trying to relax for the first time in far too long.

    “So you have them in the same area now, how are you going to get them to meet?” Tooth Fairy asked watching from above with Cupid. She still was expecting this to blow up when the two met each other. They were very opposite and she chose them on purpose. She was hoping to prove herself right, that he would force people together that wouldn’t work. If so she could scold him about what he does and how horrible it ended up for the couple and any children they had. The other option was that it wouldn’t work at all, the two would hate each other and never end up together proving that he wasn’t as good as he said he was. Either way it would knock him down a peg. She was sure she could figure out a way to scold him about his match makings gone wrong either way.
    “You are far too excited to see me fail you know that?” Cupid answered annoyed. “Now I go see Jack and see if he can’t send a little winter weather this way forcing him inside and into her company.” He left watching Jay huddle by his fire and went to find Jack Frost. “So can you do it?” He asked after explaining to Jack what he wanted.
    “I think I can handle that, you need it now?” He smiled he loved being able to cause trouble. They all took off back to where Jay was. Already the temperature had been dropping and it only took Jack a few seconds to start building a large snow storm. “That should keep them in for a while. Give you a good go at getting them together.” Jack smiled, “what are you going to do after it clears and they get to go home?”
    “Oh these two will see each other again. Hop efully they will be so attached to each other it won’t matter that they are on opposite sides. They are not going to be happy next time they meet.” Cupid answered glaring at Tooth Fairy. He was sure she knew about the upcoming events before she picked these two. Watching them for the last two weeks he knew that if he didn’t work some good magic this week, while they were stuck inside together, they would never make it passed what was coming.
    “So what, after they leave here it’s going to be up to them?” Tooth Fairy asked surprised. “I thought you just kept shooting love at them until they believed they loved each other.”
    “No I try to remind them of what attracted them to each other before the anger starts but once they really start the relationship I’m kind of out
