Chapter 1 of my brand new fan fiction. I just finished rapture last night and since no one has put a continuation of what happened between Daniel and Luce, I will.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the fallen series. Lauren Kate does!

"You look nice," Nora acknowledged from the windowsill, painting her nails in a bright pink polish.

"I have a date tonight," Luce said confidently, pushing back a long black curl behind her ear and putting in a dangling earing with sapphire beads that looked like she'd caught rain and put it onto her ear.

"With who?" Nora asked, putting her foot down and starting onto her hand, as she stirred the polish then she looked up suddenly, her brown eyes wide. "Tell me it isn't Max. I told you Luce, his bitch of a girlfriend will find you. Spies everywhere…."

"It's not Max," Luce assured with a smile, wiping her hands down on her skirt to straighten out the creases that could appear. It taken forever to find it, the only skirt that wen with her sapphire blue blouse with frilly sleeves that she was wearing tonight.

"Creepy coin guy from downstairs, then?" Luce's roommate asked, throwing up an invisible coin and slapping it down on her hand, shaking her bottle of nail polish. "Heads for a movie tails for a romantic stroll through the park?"

"It's not him either, Nora." Luce smiled, pulling other curls behind her other ear so that her sparkling earrings caught the light in the room and turned around to face her friend. "What do you think?"

Nora cocked her head to the side, sending her auburn curls dangerously close to her watermelon pink nails that were still wet. "I think it's perfect for your secret date. Come on, Lucinda. Tell me who he is,"

"You're going to paint your hair if you keep doing that," Luce pointed out, walking towards her bunk bed and crouching down, pulling out a pair of knee high black boots with to inch heels. "And his name is Daniel."

"Daniel," Nora repeated, cocking her head to the other side with a smile. "Hmm, he sounds alright. How did you meet this Daniel?"

"Remember when I left the party to get some air last Friday?" Luce asked, putting her left boot on. "Well-"

"Ooh," Nora squealed. "Lucy, you've got some 'splaning to do."

Luce glared at her friend. "Not funny,"

"It never is," Nora sighed, crossing her legs and blowing on her nails. "You know what this means, don't you?"

"What?" Luce asked zipping up her other boot.

"This might be your chance to get kissed. Your first real kiss. That doesn't have to do with spin the bottle or boys named Jeremy!" Nora exclaimed then ducked when Luce threw a pillow at her. "Oh come on, Luce."

"You come on, Nora." Luce said indignantly. "Stop bringing that up. I told you that in confidence, remember? What happens in pajama's stays in pajamas?"

Nora rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah," She reached over next to the Luce's desk and grabbed her friend's locket. "Here," She tossed it to Luce who caught it in both hands. "It'll look great with that top,"

Luce smiled affectionately at her friend. "Thanks,"

"Of course," Nora shrugged, turning to continue her nails when she turned and looked out the window. "Hmmmm,"

"What?" Luce asked, clasping her necklace to the back of her throat as she watched herself in the mirror.

"Could that handsome boy with golden curls and a handful of Luce's favorite flowers possibly be Luce's mystery date?" Nora wondered and Luce ran over to where her friend was sitting and watched as Daniel walked up the sidewalk towards them. "Could he, Luce?"

Luce grinned from ear to ear, unable to help it. "Maybe,"

"He's heavenly," Nora said with a grin. "And you've known him for…..three days. It's true love,"

"Shut up," Luce said halfheartedly. "I don't know but something about him is just so familiar…"

"True love," Nora sang and Luce rolled her eyes at her friend, grabbing a small black purse and putting the strap over her shoulder.

"Cross your fingers," Luce said, with a smile.

Her roommate crossed her fingers and then gave her friend a thumbs up, calling out. "Don't be home to late!" as Luce walked down the half room their dorm.

. . .

"Three days?" Shelby asked, sitting up from her previous position of lying down on the cloud.

Arriane nodded, crossing her legs on the cloud and lengthen her wings. "He's quick."

"That's my boy," Roland said with a wicked grin. "Smooth as ever,"

"Which explains why you aren't," Arriane said halfheartedly and Annabelle rolled her eyes, twirling her still hot pink hair.

"Shhh," Annabelle said, pushing Arriane slightly. "I want to hear this as much as you do, Arriane."

"Me too," Miles agreed, crossing his legs and squeezing Shelby's hand.

They stayed quiet for about five minutes as Luce and Daniel walked outside and Daniel gave Luce flowers when Shelby finally broke the silence. "What's up with her roommate?"

"That girl's nails are a rainbow," Arriane said, leaning her chin on her knees, and playing with a tiny black pigtail.

"She could never have a normal roommate," Miles agreed shaking his head, his baseball cap pulled over his eyes so that Shelby couldn't see his smile but she hit him anyway.

"Shelby, your to fun to be normal," Miles said apologetically and Roland shook his head a the boy, his gold and black dreadlocks shaking around and hiding his face.

"Nice save, Nephilim," Roland said with an approving nod.

"Want to pass on some of that smooth attitude to me?" Mile asked, opening his arms in waiting.

Roland shook his head his bright white smile glowing against the contrast of his dark skin. "Sorry, I'm fresh out."

"They look happy," Annabelle said softly, leaning her chin on her hands.

"They better be," Arriane says with a smile. "Because if they aren't I'm going down there myself,"

"Relax, Arriane," Roland said calmly, putting his hand on her shoulder. "They'll be fun,"

"Aw, Ro," Arriane sighed, crossing her arms over her chest. "You never let me do anything, do you?"

"We're supposed to be being him back to our side," Annabelle pointed out. "Not let him hold us back,"

"Exactly!" Arriane said, standing up. "You should let me go down there,"

"Hey, who was that guy, Nora was talking about?" Shelby asked suddenly. "You know the one with the coin."

I don't know," Roland admitted. "I didn't see him,"

"He'll be no completion for Daniel," Miles said surely. "He's Luce's true love; she can't love anyone else,"

Arriane, Annabelle and Roland dropped their eyes, as if they were watching their friends down below. If only Mile knew how wrong he was.

So, you kind of see the start of Daniel and Luce's relationship, but all not be going well, you know? Please review!
