School Daze

As always I don't own Moonlight characters, just love to write about them.

Takes place between Trading Places, Werewolves in London and Paris and Collie's Just Like a Woman.

Chapter One

"So, Red, this looks pretty comfy. Are you sure you're gonna like being in Paris, away from the folks?" 19 year old Elliott St. John, Rhodes Scholar, has taken the time away from Oxford to come to see his parents who have just ensconced little sister, Collie, at her new school.

"Was it hard for you, Ell? After all, you're the one who's been gone for almost a year now?"

"Actually it was difficult at first. I missed everyone, even you, Mistress of Mischief." Elliott grabs her and does a quick nuggy on her red head.

"Cut that out, Ell. I'm a grown woman now. You and Spike are gonna have to start treating me like a lady."

"Oh, and not the sweet-tempered, loveable tomboy anymore, huh?"

Flushing, Collie retorts, "Not anymore. I'm actually going shopping with Mom and a couple of really neat Parisian ladies."

"Shopping, Col, really? Since when can you stand shopping? And with Mom?" Elliott's gray eyes show shock and awe and the eyebrow lifts.

"I'm gonna be a lady if it kills me." Grim-faced, she looks like she's headed to hell.

"Listen, if it helps, I know a couple of girls who live close by. I've got a week or so before I have to go back. Why don't I call them and see if we can get together? You'll like Heather and Kara."

"Do they, uh, know about my ah, mixed blood?"

"No one knows at school. I've kept that part quiet, but these two are pretty cool. I'll bet they won't bat an eye. And, Collie, I've got to warn you. They are a little out there, if you know what I mean?" Elliott has a big grin.

"How out there?" Collie's now very curious.

"Well, don't let their hair color, nose rings and tattoos fool you. They might not look cool, but you'll love them."

"So what are they?"

"What used to be called Emos. What we now call "Sensitives."
