ADRIAN POV

After Rose left I finished my drink and stumbled to bed. When I woke up late afternoon, and I had a huge hangover. My head was throbbing so I went through the kitchen, searching for some vodka. Then I remembered that I didn't have any left. I groaned and went to my dresser, instead lighting a cigarette. I decided that if I wanted to make an impression, I should look nice, so I went into the bathroom. When I looked into the mirror I was a little shocked at how badly I looked. I mean, I was a fairly handsome man, if I may say so myself. But right now...Yeash. I had bloodshot eyes, my clothes were crumpled from sleeping in them, and my hair was messed up. No doubt I had morning breath as well. Sighing I washed my face, combed my hair, changed clothes, and threw on some cologne on the way out. I knew Dimitri was russian, and I had always wanted to try russian vodka, so I began to roam the campus in search of him. It was about lunch time, and a ton of kids were walking around. One dhampir paused as I walked by,no doubt noticing the cigarette in my hand, then spun around to follow me. "Um, sir. No smoking on grounds. Its against the rules." He said with a frown. I stopped and turned to face him, purposefully blowing a cloud of smoke in his face.

"Kid. I'll put this in simple form. I'm above the rules. Not staff, not student. I am free to do as I please. So beat it." I hadn't meant to be quite that rude, but that kid was bugging me. Until then, I don't think he recognized me. Quickly, he scurried off. I rolled my eyes, and saw Lissa coming out of the cafeteria. I walked over to her, and she greeted me with a smile.

"Hey Lissa." I said casually.
"Hi Adrian." Her eyes shone with excitement. "You just the person I need to see. Cause, um, I want to start working more with spirit." Her voice suddenly dropping. "You know how you can visit peoples dreams?" She inquired.

"Yeah. What about it?"

"Well, I want to do that to. Would you teach me?" I pondered this for a moment, but my headache was making it hard.

"Uh, sure I guess. I'll come visit you tonight. But could you tell me where Dimitri is? Or where to get an Asprin?" I asked. Christian walked up right then, and only heard a snippet of what I had said.

"What about Dimitri?" He questioned, slipping his hand into Lissa's.

"I'm looking for Dimitri. Do you know where he is?" I repeated. He shook his head.

"Sorry, can't say I know. You could ask Rose. She always seems to know where to find him." He suggested. I gave him a nod, then bid them farewell. Rose probably didn't want to see me right then, so instead I went to the staff lounge to search for Dimitri there. And out of some luck, he was.

"Dimitri, when lunch is over, I need to speak with you." I announced.

He looked up from his conversation with Alberta. "I'm done right now." He said, getting up.

We walked into the hallway and I led him into an empty classroom. "What do you want, Adrian?" Dimitri quesioned as soon as we were alone.

"I have a hangover." I blurted. "And aura's and the other maddening affects of spirit are starting to come back. Add that to my huge headache; I'm in agony."

"Just get some water. Maybe that can help your hangover. As for the spirit side affects, I can't help you there. Why would you tell me this? If you want to dull the effects, just go get some more alchol like you usually do." He said.

"Because I know your from Russia." When Dimitri gave me another confused loook I continued, "And I heard Russian vodka is pretty strong. I wouldn't ask unless its an emergancy. You see, Rose and I... well, we exhausted my supply of alchol last night."

"Rose was drinking with you?" Dimtri exclaimed.

"Oh shut it. It was just a game." I said sheepishly. "Now please tell me you have some of that vodka on you?" Dimitri looked away, thinking for a while. "My headache isn't getting any better." I pestered.

"Fine." He said at last. "Follow me." Dimitri guided me over to his bedroom, quietly walking over to his closet. he returned a moment later with a bottle of vodka. "Mother sent me it for Christmas... I just don't drink much while I'm on duty. Its not proper to drink on a high school campus anyway." He added with a pointed look. Greedily I took the bottle from his grasp, and not bothering to get a glass, I pulled the top off and chugged. The vodka burned my throat, like fire in liquid form. coughing I pulled the bottle from my mouth. Dimitri laughed loudly at my foolish mistake to take a huge gulp. But already his aura was fading, so with a wince, I returned the bottle to my lips, this time taking a smaller swig. The headache dissapeared as the comforting fogginess clouded my vision.

"Thanks" I slurred, handing Dimitri the bottle again. With another laugh he returned the bottle to his closet.

"No problem. But don't incourage Rose to drink." He said, the smile melting off his face.

"Don't worry. It won't happen again." I said, throwing my hands up in the air defenselessly. I said goodbye then went back to my room, watching some t.v. until it was curfew. I knew I needed to keep my promise to Lissa, so I closed my eyes, searching for her conscience. Luckily she had gone to bed early in hopes of learning more about dream walking. I created the scene, a grassy hill surrounded by an orange grove. I put a little checked blanket down, and added a picnic basket full of treats. I pictured her in a pink v-neck and some white stitched jeans. She had on grey slip on converse, and her blonde hair was curled in perfect ringlets. As a final touch, I added a bracelet made of pearls.

"Wow!" Lissa squealed, looking around. "Why am I in this outfit though?" She asked, baffled.

"What, did you think you would come here in your pajama's?" I laughed. Lissa smiled, again looking around the hilltop.

"Can you make any place you want?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

"I wish I could do this kind of stuff." she said wistfully.

"Hey, you will be able to do this. Just give it some time. You haven't been off your meds that long, you know... Can you do anything with spirit yet?"

"Yeah I can heal people...But I can't see auras' or dream walk." She sighed, sitting down on the blanket. Thinking for a moment, I raked my fingers along the back of my hand, drawing blood. I hissed in pain, then forced a smile. Lissa gasped, immediately taking my hand. I saw her arua glow brighter as magic coursed through her. A moment later, my hand was back to normal.

"What the..." I trailed offf, examining my hand. She smiled sheepishly and shrugged.

"Maybe I could teach you how to heal, and you can teach me to read aruas?" Lissa suggested, hope in her eyes.

"Yeah, that would be great... But hey, I know you want to know how to dream walk and stuff but I'm not really sober right now... So maybe we could just play a game instead?" She looked a little dissapointed, but was ready to play whatever game I had in mind.

"I guess... What game?" I grinned mischeaviously before reaching into the basket, pulling out a whipped cream pie.

"FOOD FIGHT!" I screamed, throwing the pie at her. She screamed and tried to dodge, getting some pie on her sleeve and hair. She jumped up and reached in the basket, pulling out a pie of her own. I picked up another, standing as well. With a giggle she slammed the pie into my face, making it impossible to see. Using my free hand I wiped the cream off my face just in time to see her dissapear behind an orange tree, holding the picnic basket. "Hey! Unfair!" I yelled, running after her. I ran around the tree and found Lissa crouching behind it. She lept up, trying to smash another pie in my face. I ducked, and she missed. She used to much momentum and fell forward. I caught her, and pressed my own pie into her face.

Coughing Lissa pried herself off of me, stumbling back into a tree. "OWW!" She yelled. She wiped the whipped cream off her eyes. "Wait." She called as I reached for the picnic basket. I raised an eyebrow in silent questioning. "Um, when I wake up, will this be all over me?" She gestured to her cream covered face and clothes.

"Nope." I replied, picking up a pie. She sighed in relief as I said, "So that means it won't matter if I do this." I rushed up, slamming the pie down the back of her shirt. Screaming she ran away into the cover of the trees. "Not a smart idea to go out there without some amo!" I called after her. She shook her head and kept running for cover. I rolled my eyes, sitting down on the ground. I knew she would want revenge, and I wasn't going to let her go back to her own dreams. She was stuck here with me, and I was going to wait for her to return for some more. Smiling I pulled a pie from the basket along with a spoon and began eating, content to wait as long as I needed to.

LISSA POV

I rounded a bend and stopped behing a tree. Peering behind me I noted that while Adrian couldn't see me, I had a clear view of him. He was sitting at the base of a tree, picnic basket at his side, eating a pie. I realized that Adrian was waiting me out. He knew I would come back; he just didn't know when. If I hurried, I could get him while he was eating the pie. He seemed confident that I would stubbornly stay away, but would eventually come back. He probably thought I was far away from the clearing, sitting behind a tree somewhere waiting to go back to my own dreams. I wasn't defiant like Rose, though. I needed a plan to get him while he was unaware. Thinking quickly I edged around the tree, keeping to the shadows, making sure Adrian was always in sight while being careful not to make noise. Once I was around Adrian I ran back to the hill where I first came in. The picnic blanket was still there, just like I had hoped. I scooped it up, spinning around and hurring back to Adrian.

I gave him some distance as I walked around the trees, trying to get a good angle to see him from. I noticed that he had almost finished the pie and by being full and exhausted from chasing me, he was beginning to doze off. With a giggle, I worked my way around to be behind his tree. I positioned myself before jumpin out, dropping the blanket on Adrian. He tried to yank it off, getting himself more tangled. I grabbed the picnic basket and ran for it. I went to the edge of the trees, just in his line of sight. He managed to wiggle out of the blanket, throwing it on the ground next to him. He groaned when he noticed the basket was gone, and began looking for me. He stood and walked over in my direction. I ducked behind the nearest tree, and stomped the ground, acting like I was running. He listened, then sighed and quicked his pace. When he came around the tree I pounced, dumping the contents of the basket onto his head. Five pies fell out and onto his head. One pie landed on the top of his head, and two landed on his left shoulder. Another fell and splashed over his shoes. He tried to move out of the way, but instead the last pie ended up on his back. He pushed the pie tins off him, causing them to clatter to the ground.

"Okay, we're out of pies. Can I go back now?" I asked politely. Adrian shook his head, laughing.

"Yeah I guess. Sweet dreams, Princess." He bowed, and the orange grove dissapeared as I returned to my own conscience.
