ONE

Paris jumped when her friend Adrien scared her.

"Stop doing that!" Paris huffed shifting her wings. They were a pure white color and spanned five feet in both directions. The tips of her wings sometimes turned grey since they kept dragging on the ground.

"But it's funny," laughed Adrien avoiding her wings. She was a bit clumsy so sometimes her wings would hit him.

"What's funny is the fact that you like Evan," huffed Paris glaring at Adrien. The boy suddenly sobered up and blushed.

"Shush!" Adrien squeaked as a shower of glitter fell on the floor around him. Paris jumped back quickly.

"Stop glittering! It's impossible to get out of my wings," she whined ruffling the feathers.

"I can't control it though," said Adrien walking backwards.

"You're glittering again?"

A storm of glitter appeared when Adrien saw who had spoke.

"E-Evan!" Adrien squeaked. "Uh, I have to go. See you later Paris!"

The two watched as the pixie ran off, leaving a trail of glitter after him.

"He needs to get that under control," said Evan shaking his head.

"Yeah, but it's pretty funny. When did you get back?" Paris asked stretching her wings.

"A few minutes ago," answered Evan. He was an angel, one of her father's many cupids. He fit well with the stereotypical angel image. He had dark hair and piercing blue eyes. His wings were bigger than Paris's and they somehow never got dirty. "He's looking for you."

"Oh yeah!" Paris exclaimed looking through her bag. "I was supposed to give him some records."

She quickly flew towards the marble palace in the middle of a rose garden. Landing softly on her balcony she threw off her bag and grabbed a stack of papers off her desk.

"Oh no, father's going to be so mad!"

------------------
Eros was mad alright, but not about Paris's tardiness.

"They can't do this!" Eros roared. Paris stopped outside his door, startled. "Paris is my daughter! If they think they can just order something like this they're mistaken!"

"Honey," sighed her mother Psyche, "this is the Council of Order. We have to listen to them."

"I am a god!"

"And they are more powerful then you!" Her mother exclaimed. "You must listen to them. Paris will be ok."

Paris slowly opened the door and walked in.

"What does the Council of Order want?" Paris asked curiously. She wanted to know why her father was so angry.

"They want to make you a cupid," said her father, "they already have a match for you to set up! I'm not letting them though. I'll talk to them and--"

"I want to do it," she blurted. Her father stopped and stared at her as if she had just said she wanted to cut her wings off.

"Paris, if you fall in love with a human, you'll get your wings taken away and you'll be human," said her mother softly.

"I won't," swore Paris. "I'll put all my focus into matching the two."

Her mother smiled and looked at her father.

"You can't disobey the Council."

-------------
The match she was to set up was Naomi Peters and Tristan Lamber. Naomi had caramel skin and long curly hair. She had a beautiful happy personality. Tristan Lamber had a crush on her but Naomi was more interested in his best friend. He had dark brown hair and piercing grey eyes.

Sitting in the middle of her kitchen at the counter, she went over the match. She was to be living in the apartment next to Tristan's. It was small and cozy but perfect for her. Her father made sure she knew all the rules before leaving the city. Walking out of the apartment, she decided to go out for dinner.

"Excuse me," mumbled a man passing by. Paris turned around when she realized it was Tristan.

"Oh, sorrry, but are you my new neighbor?" Paris asked while Tristan started to unlock his door.

"Uh yeah, did you just move in?" Tristan asked awkwardly.

"Just a few hours ago. I'm going out for dinner tonight, do you want to join me?" Paris asked. It would be a good way to know more about this man and maybe meet that friend Naomi's interested in.

"Actually I'm busy tonight," said Tristan giving her an apologetic smile. "If you ever need some help though you can just knock on my door."

"Ok, thank you," said Paris hiding her disappointment. To be honest, she didn't know how she was going to set this match up. Going down the elevator and out the front lobby, she bumped into a man with bright pink hair and an Asian face.

"Oh! Sorry," apologized the man.

"It's alright, I'm not hurt or anything," said Paris smiling at him. The man spotted something on the ground and picked up her keys.

"Oh, you moved into the apartment next door to my friend!" The man exclaimed. "I'm Taejoo Park, room 257's bestfriend."

Paris furrowed her eyebrow's and tried to remember who lived in 257. Realization slapped her.

"You're Tristan's friend!" Paris exclaimed before slapping a hand over her mouth. She shouldn't have blurted it out.

"Heh, yeah. What's you're name?" Taejoo asked curiously.

"I'm Paris Minnett," she said smiling thankfully at him as he gave back her keys, "I was just about to go out for dinner. Do you know any good places to eat around here?"

"Actually me and a friend are eating at Tristan's apartment. Do you want to join us? Naomi would love to have another girl to talk to," offered Taejoo. Paris was shocked at her luck. She had been on Earth for only a few hours and was already meeting the people she needed to match. 

"Oh, sure!" Paris exclaimed grinning. They went back up and just as she was about to knock on the door Taejoo stopped her.

"I have a key," he said unlocking the door and walking in. "Tristan! I made a new friend!"

Paris laughed at his childish excitement. Tristan's head popped out from the kitchen.

"You're my new nieghbor!" Tristan exclaimed with wide eyes.

"I'm Paris Minett," she said introducing herself. Tristan was about to say something when another girl walked in. She had caramel skin and long curly brown hair. She was pretty.

"I'm here!" The girl exclaimed. "Oh, who are you?"

"This is Paris, Tristan's new neighbor!" Taejoo asked before looking over at Paris. "This is our friend Naomi. I think you'll get along."

Paris smiled widely at them.

"Yeah. Hopefully I'll become friends with all of you."

And maybe even match two of you up.


<3 Taejoo's here! Jisoo allowed me to use one of her characters and who doesn't love this cute little rascal? <3
