One shot –

It had been a long, hard day at Myrnin's lab. Not to mention me and Shane had just broken up, God why did he have to do that. He had just had to cheat on me with, Lily the girl that he went to school with. I never really knew her, never want to know he had said it was just a harmless thing that he didn't mean to do it, that she had seduced him. And that's when I dumped him, there and then.

I had been thinking about our relationship for the past few days, we had been arguing all the time, fighting, saying things we shouldn't have. It got so bad that he actually pushed me down the stairs granted it was an accident, but it still hurt. I cut open my head however it wasn't really bad, no concussion just a bump. I had faded away now but I could still feel it there, haunting me I rushed out. I walked around for a bit, waiting to clear by head swinging on the swings outside Common Grounds; I called Eve once I had seen her leave asking her to make sure I when I got home Shane wouldn't see me. She sent him to go get groceries or something, I ran home, 1 because it was getting dark, 2 I didn't know how long Shane would be out, and 3 because it was really cold out her.

I ran into Michael as I close the door attempting to run upstairs, away from the horror. Yet of course it wasn't that easy, he enveloped me in a hug and almost immediately Eve joined in. "Are you ok, CB? Shane told us what happened he's really regretting it now, maybe you could-"Eve tried to finish but I interrupted her, moving away from their hug.

"No, he betrayed my trust and that's it, everything is over. There's no bridge to mend." I declared and charged up to my room, slamming the door shut behind me. I flopped on the bed and laid there for almost two hours, in which time I had Michael and Eve asking if I was ok, Shane apologising and trying to make me take him back, which of course I didn't do. Eve came and asked me if I wanted dinner, but I just said no, yet she heard my stomach rumble and walked in with a large tray with burger and chips on it with a tall, slender glass of coke on the side.

I grabbed for the drink almost immediately but just before nodding a thanks to Eve. "You are feeling better? You know what I do when I have a nasty break up I jump back on the train again, it always make you feel better." She jabbered on, I knew I wasn't like her but I couldn't help but think ok to that idea, it would definitely make Shane mad and I didn't want to be in the house much longer. I'd go on the date, if I could find one and just stay round my parents' house for the night. If she asked why I didn't come home I would just say I didn't want to disturb you I stayed at my parents.

She of seen it in my eyes because she jumped, clapping her hands together. "Ok, stay there I want to show you something!" He yelled and rushed out the room, and was in about a second after with her lap top, god this is not going to end well.

"Ok there's a Morganville Dating Site, I want you to pick someone. Now!" She yelped and slapped the computer onto my lap. I filled out the information I needed to.

Username: CB Scientist

What I am looking for: I am a woman wanting a man

Ages for selected person: 18 – 26

Description of Me:

I am a student at Texas Prairie University. I'm exceptionally intelligent for my age, however my brains are also a cause for many people to dislike and/or misunderstand me. I'm an assistant of Scientist. I am usually described as vulnerable, innocent and fragile. But I am not any of those things, but maybe the innocent, people misjudge me. I can hold my own, I have defeated the most horrible things, defeated the 'supposedly' most powerful thing alive and much more…

On appearance, I have long curly brown, mostly red thanks to my friend, hair, hazel eyes and am a size 4 and 17 years old. There's nothing else really…

Well that was done I had to think about what kind of person I was looking for. I flicked through a few and there was some really strange once, that in fact were very impossible.

Example 1:

"I like when a female who has pretty feet, takes off her shoes and walks on my back and tickles my face with her feet."

Example 2:

"I'm easy going, looking for anyone. And by that I mean anyone… I like it when girls throw themselves at me and like to be in pain"

Example 3:

In this one all I did was look at the title. "I want to murder you. You small fragile little girls."

They are the worst things I've ever seen, that last one scared the hell out of me. I kept going and came across one, that didn't seem too bad it was actually good.

I am a scientist, I love the sciences. I have one pet, he is harmless. I am 25 and bored; I have invented and created many things with the help of my assistant but mostly me. I am quite powerful, and not been in a prier relationship in years. I am not looking for a rebound or crazy, though most do say I am kidding. I have short brown/black hair in curls, I have a very built body, very… muscular, I am tall maybe 6 f more or less.

WOW… He sounded perfect, but they always had something wrong with them. The guy with the 'I want to murder you' thing I'm guessing is Jason, and no way was I going to date him, ever! They were probably murders or thefts or the worst they were hungry vampire. Yet I doubt that a vampire would be on a dating site.

"Eve I think I found someone!" I giggled as she did; I didn't even notice her there staring at me intently. I moved closer and moved the screen so she could see the text. She nodded her head and hugged me, probably relief. "He's a scientist, he's young, and he's tall, dark and probably handsome. He's even smart, but let's not get carried away should I ask him out?"

Eve got a slight curve on the side of her lip, as her eyes glared down on me, it made me feel naked. "Oh… yes! As long as I get to get you ready and of course drop you off so I can see the guy, that ok?" I had to think about that did I really want Eve coming with me, no, the guy would probably see me and then see Eve and think she was better.

"Eve you can help me get ready but no drop off, ok?" I said and she nodded looking very sly and sneaky, then it hit me I had no longer had the computer, I quickly yanked it away from her just as she was about to press send. "EVE!" I yelled at her reading what she had put down.

You sound nice, I can't what to meet you so I was wondering if you would mind meeting me tonight at 8, I can meet you wherever. Pick. I hope I fit you criteria, bye.

That sounded way to desperate, no way was I putting that! I deleted that straight away before Eve caught on to what I was doing I almost deleted the message as Eve lunged at me. She was trying to press send, but that was not happening! I wrestled her for almost 15 minutes before the ping of my computer went of which meant I had an email. It bright bold letters it said on my screen.

You have a message from 'Morganville Scientist'.

God, Eve didn't send it did she, I check every inch of the screen it hadn't been sent. Then why did I have a message from him then. I read it aloud so Eve could hear it. It read;

I read your profile, you see nice. We seem to have an awful lot in common, so if you do me the honour of meeting me tonight at half seven at Galina, wear a white rose so I can spot you. Bye.

It was that simple, wow the guy I liked actually liked me back. I really need to get ready, fast it was half six at the moment so I had roughly an hour to get ready, I sent an response saying I would love to… blah, blah, blah. "Eve get ready, be prepared I will be back in a moment!" I command and ran out of the room.

I could hear Eve faintly behind me. "Where are you going? Oh, bathroom." I jumped into the tub and wash my hair quickly but carefully. I dress quickly in a robe and jump back to Eve, who looks like she had only just mover, so it was conformed quickest shower ever!

"Ok, CB let's get you ready?" She whispered evilly, if I didn't know better I would have thought that Eve was a vampire. She had the look down, the pale skin, gothic clothes; she just didn't have a thirst for blood or all the cool super hero stuff. I was sat in that chair for about 40 minutes, and I really felt like a clown all the makeup, when she finally finished me I looked in the mirror and looked well… Wow! "Ok now clothes wait here and don't touch your face!"

I waited for Eve to return flicking through my cupboards, blah, blah, blah and Eve returned putting the dress over my head before I could see it. I looked at the clock it was 7:20 I need to go, now! "Bye I need to go!" I ran out of the room and straight into Eve's car, she said I could use it.

I pulled up to the side walk adjusting my white rose and entering the building, what if this guys a creep or worse? I stood there eyeing the room, looking for someone but I was still early so I went to get a drink. I walked up to the bartender and ordered my drink as I did someone slid in next to me I turned around to see Myrnin sitting there looking glum. "Myrnin, what are you doing here?" I chuckled I thought he never got out of that Lab except to see Amelie.

"Ah Claire I'm surprised to see you here, I'm waiting on a date." He said straitening up so his shirt wouldn't crease; he actually looked normal whoever this girl was she was very, very lucky.

"Me too, so who's the lucky lady?" I say moving closer sipping my drink, awaiting an answer wonder if I know her?

"I don't know her, Amelie said 'I have to get out there' and she signed me up on a 'dating website'."

"Same here, but it was Eve she said I have to get back on the train after me and Shane broke up."

"When did you and Shane brake up?"

"Yesterday he cheated on me and I dumped him. To be fair I was going to anyway. How are you supposed to know who she is, if it's a girl?"

"It certainly is a girl, thank you Claire! She is supposed to wear a white rose."

"Funny that's what the guy said to me… Myrnin?"

"Yes Claire."

"What's your username?"

"Morganville Scientist"

"Oh God, your my date!"

"Your CB Scientist?"

"Yeah, CB – Claire Bear."

"Ok then do you still wish for me to court you this evening, I would?"

"Fine" I said and we walk towards the table, wonder if this was planned or not. We sat down at a table; it was a private area in a dark room. "Do you think this was planned?"

"I'm sure Eve and Amelie wouldn't do this would they?"

"I'm not sure, I know Eve would but Amelie?"

"She would, oh and by the way you look beautiful. Wait a second come here." He said moving across the table so he was perched next to me. He whipped a bit of lip stick or something of my face then whispered. "Close your eyes." I know I shouldn't but of course I did because I know I shouldn't trust vampires but I always have and always will. He moved so close I could feel his breath on my lips and then his pressed against mine and I kissed him back!

Ok, that was just an opener sort of thing to get the plot kind of thing down. I was going to do something like, dates put together because of the dating website. I need ideas like Oliver and Amelie or Eve and Michael. There won't be the whole getting ready thing, just the dates.

If you have any ideas on who to put together or how to end it then please PM me.

In Dedication to Black Dawn.
