A/N: Please Read and Review this story I would really appreciate it.
Nicole's POV
I was at Granny's eating mashed potatoes (real ones) and gravy with turkey, when the lights go out.
"So this is what happens," I say. I have never been in a black out. The city has lights everywhere, we have no shortage of it, but this is new. No lights. Pitch black.
It was early evening so I had time to go home while it was still light out. I grabbed a few flashlights and headed across the hall.
Henry's POV
There was a knock at the door, so I stumbled to the door and answered.
"And he was never seen again. MWAHAHAHAHA!" Nicole exclaims with a flashlight illuminating her face as I opened the door.
"Hi Nicole." I say looking at her bored.
"Pretty scary huh?" She says.
"Would bi if I knew the rest of the story,"
"Exactly," She smiles.
"What?" I ask confused.
"Exactly," she states, walking in the apartment. I set that aside still confused.
"What do you do when the lights go out?" She says in a riddle-y tone. "You know, not me,"
"You play board games," I reply.
"BORING!" Nicole yells.
Then she gasps. "You stay here, I have an idea!" She runs across the hall leaving both apartment doors open. She comes back lugging in a blue record player. She is really into vintage things. On top of that she has all of her vinyls. She also gets modern music in vinyl form.
"Told you my record player is useful," She says smirking.
"Very funny. Let me guess, dance party?" I say knowing the answer.
"You know me so well," she states dramatically. She puts in the first record and sets the needle thing. Up beat music starts playing and she starts dancing, when she looks at me standing there she stops.
"You're going to dance or not? She asks.
"Not" I state.
"Not an option," Nicole grabs my hands and starts moving my arms to the music. She looks at me expectingly. I slowly start dancing until we are just randomly dancing to the rest of the record. When it ends she puts in another one and coaxes me into dancing again. Then a slow song comes on.
"M'lady! May I have this dance," I ask getting on one knee in a cheesy British accent.
"Of course!" She says in an equally dumb accent. We are then in the standard middle school dance position. As the song goes on we get a little closer to each other. I noticed that Nicole was wearing black leggings, because it was very cold out today, a high waisted maroon skater skirt, and a Beatles graphic tee tucked into the skirt. By the end of the song her head is resting on my shoulder and my hands are still on her waist. The next song is also slow, so we stand there swaying.
Nicole's POV
As we danced, the ground suddenly moved. We both fall and I get us to both crawl under a table, somehow remembering what to do in an earthquake.
Once it stopped, I slowly got out from under the dining table, followed by Henry.
"Does that normally happen?" I ask.
"No," Henry replies, unsure.
"Lets go see what happened," I suggest. His eyes get wide.
"NO! No, let's stay here, just to be safe," He tries to say nonchalantly.
"Yes, stay on the top floor during an earthquake,' I say sarcastically. I head out the door and down the stairs with Henry behind me.
Everyone was on their way to the town border so I followed after them.
"Nicole really! I'm sure everything is fine!" Henry calls after me. I keep going until I see what the big deal was about. Ice. A wall of ice. I knew Maine was cold, but this brings a whole new perspective on what cold means. It was impossible. My dad must be excited. He works with people who talk about other people who talked about magic. Like the Grimm Brothers. But this is insane.
"Henry..." I start. I', dreaming, there isn't a wall of ice, and everything is normal. There is no way this is real.
Please review. I know that this may be boring to read again if you already have read it, but tell other people to read, and review. Please spread the word about this story. I would really like more reviews and follows on this story. Well I will continue tomorrow after school. I have 6 more chapters to go until I get to make up my own stuffs can't wait.
