Please read and review. I own the story idea and the character of Veral, but that's all.
I sat down and pulled myself into my show suit. I grabbed my orbs and began to walk towards the curtain, sipping some nice Jasmine as I went. Camera lights flashing blinded me for about half a second as I rushed onto stage. I held my arms out wide above my head and tossed my orbs into the air. The crowd grew silent as they floated there for a short moment. Then they came rushing down. I caught them between my fingers and raised my hands high above my head to show the crowd. They went wild. They cheered and snapped photos. And that was just my introduction. I hadn't even gotten to the good part. "Hit it, Night!" my little black sugar glider flew off my shoulder and onto the huge stage stereo. He flipped it on and it began to play loud music. He soared back over to my shoulder. "Ooooh, Party Rock Anthem. Nice choice bud!" He winked and smiled, riding ever so valiantly on my shoulder as I did my typical Shadow Dancing Routine for that song. The crowd cheered as I tossed my orbs and caught them and spun them on my arms. For my final move, I tossed them up and caught them on my fingers. They still spun on my fingertips as I took a big bow, and Night chattered and glided down to the stage floor and did his own little bows. The casino went wild. Almost no one was playing the slot games, and only one group of anti-fairies was over playing poker. I looked at the crowd, and strangely…I saw someone who struck me as…well….interesting. He was a small anti-fairy dressed in fancy British clothing and deep green eyes. I tossed my orbs over to Night, who carried them back to the dressing/storage room, stuffing the ones he couldn't carry nicely into his cheeks. I rushed off the stage, greeting by a wonderful crowd. I used my magic to part the ever insane wall of people trying to get to me. I found the guy and began to speak to him. "Hello…I am—." I started…but was cut off "The girl who does the shadow dancing act? Yes, I just saw your show. It was…marvelous." He said in a British accent. "What is your name again, young lady?" he said, glaring at my red eyes. "Veral. And yours?" I said. "Anti-Cosmo" he replied, "Pleasure to meet you." "Oh the pleasure's all mine." I said. "Oh hey, would you like some tea?" I asked politely. "I would be delighted. Do you have Jasmine?" he asked. "It's only, my favorite kind! Course I do!" I poofed up two teacups and a pitcher of Jasmine. I poured for the two of us. We sipped tea together. "Oops…better take precautions. Don't want us getting separated in this huge crowd." Anti-Cosmo said. He poofed up a chain and tied our legs together. "Hummm…..I think you are interested in me a little, huh?" I giggled. "No, well yes…but not like how you mean. I just want to have some time to talk." He stammered. "Uh-huh." I said, as I began to walk in circles around him. He didn't notice he was being tied up by the chain that held us together. He was mesmerized by my eyes, or at least that's what I think because he wouldn't stop staring at them. Then I finally stopped circling and he just continued to stare. I pulled my leg back and he fell over, surprised by the chain around him. "Hahaha." He said sarcastically. "So, what is your wife like?" I asked. I knew I had struck something when he glared at me. "Dim-witted and not exactly my type." He replied with a stone cold glance. He looked away. I knew I had hit the goldmine, because I knew this was the one. And somehow I knew, deep-down, he felt the same way about me.
Hope you enjoyed! Will continue very soon! Please review!
