Save the Last Dance

(Chap 1: Leaving)

Stephanie sighed, looking out of the window as the plane started to land. It was only a few days ago when she had met Dave Seville. He had been in Newcastle on a business trip, and he also wanted to adopt a girl. She was told by everyone at school and at the orphanage that there was no way he would adopt her. She thought so too. She knew it. But he had. No one could believe it. She knew that she could just hide in her room, like she always did, so she wouldn't be any trouble. The thing was, trouble always seemed to look for, and find her. She felt butterflies in her stomach as she got out and saw Dave standing, waiting for her. It was dark, about midnight, which would be about 11:00 in the morning back at the orphanage.

She smiled as she neared him, dragging two suitcases and three holdalls behind her, a massive rucksack on her back. "Have a good flight?" he asked, grinning as he took the three holdalls from her.

"Yea, thanks. You look tired." she said, noticing his eyes where bloodshot.

"Well it is midnight. I better get used to it though."

"Why?" Stephanie asked as they reached Dave's car, putting her luggage in the boot.

"I'll explain tomorrow. Lets go."

It didn't seem to take very long to get to the house. Her eyes where wide. It was almost bigger than the orphanage, if that was possible. There where lights everywhere, lighting up the front garden, which was huge enough to fit in about 20 pools, but only held one. There where flowers of all kinds, some where closed up, but others where night plants and where in full bloom. Dave told her not to bother with the luggage, he would get it for her later. He opened the door and let her in. She grinned as she came in. The place was huge. One of the double doors was open, leading to a cosy looking living room. He led her in, and she was greeted by three fury faces suddenly popping out from behind and jumping in front of her.

"Wow!"

"Stephanie, these are the boys."

"Alvin!" Alvin struck a pose

"Simon!" Simon jumped.

"Theodor" Theodor punched the air.

"Hi. I'm Stephanie. This is so cool. Never thought I'd wind up here… I hope I don't spoil things for you ore anything."

"Why would you do that?"

"Well, I know that your trying to make a comeback and according to everyone else, I'm notorious for messing things up. I think the only things I haven't messed up are the musicals I used to do. So I'll stay out of your way if it's anything important."

"Hey, no need to do that. If anything we'll mess it up ourselves." Alvin received sears from everyone else. "And when I say we, I mean these two." they all rolled there eyes and Stephanie laughed.

Theodor yawned and Stephanie felt sick. Her body clock was going mental because it was night here, but day back where she used to be. But she smiled and picked Theodore who snuggled up in her hand. "You tired." she said softly.

"He hasn't been finding it easy to sleep. It's becoming less and less." Simon spoke.

"It's ok. Don't concentrate on sleeping, just think about what you like to do, something that calms you." Her voice was calm and quiet and after about a minute Theodore was asleep.

"So he was concentrating on sleeping too hard? Why didn't I think of that?" Simon shook his head, yawning.

"I think we better go to bed." Dave said.

Dave showed Stephanie her room and she sighed as she lay on the bed. She took her hair out of its bunches. Her hair was dark brown with neon-pink, neon-blue and platinum-blonde highlights. She had on a white top with a skull and cross guitar in multi neon colours with the words 'Cyber Goth' underneath in black. Her jeans where simple black jeans but she had tie-dyed the ends purple and used aqua, tear shaped sequins spaced out. She got into her black and purple pyjamas before she heard a small knock. She opened it a little and let Alvin in.

"What is it? Alvin?" she asked as she sat on her bed and watched him climb up and perch himself on the drawer beside the bed, pulling the chain of the lamp to light it.

"I can't sleep, nether can Simon or Theodor. Is it alright if we come in?" Alvin motioned to the door where his brothers where waiting. She nodded.

"Thanks for putting my to sleep earlier." Theodor said as she took a case from under the bed.

"It's ok. So what you guys want to watch?" she opened the case full of DVD's "You guys like Back to the Future?"

"Yea." the boys cheered.

Dave thought he heard something and got up to investigate. He went into Stephanie's room. The TV was on, halfway through Back to the Future, Stephanie was fast asleep, the boys snoring, curled up in her lap. He smiled, pilling a blanket over them and turning out the light.
