AN: I'm getting this out sooner than I thought I would. This is a good thing. It pretty much means that the 5 reviews (it's more than I've ever gotten) are doing their job. If you read this, I beg of you, please review and if you like it, reccommend it to other people who are going to read it. I need reviews, they are sparking my imagination and giving me the creativity to write more. So, for your sakes, you'll review. Or else this is going in the binders with the other 36 stories that I've started but have yet to finish.

Disclaimer: I don't own SM or Angel nor do I claim to own them. I'm going to New York it 12 days! I don't have the money to spend if anyone were to sue me. I do, however own the story and if anyone wants some really good ideas for a story, come see me! I have too many ideas and not enough time and energy to write about all of them.
But now, ON WITH THE STORY!!!



It's been three dazys since I've been out. When I got back from seeing Darien. I haven't slept, I haven't eaten - not that I need to do either one - and I haven't even talked to Angel, even though he's been by to see me at least three times a day and bringing me the occasional cup of pigs blood to eat.
I was letting him get to me! I swore to myself that I wouldn't let him do this to me again!
I looked out the window next to my bed and sighed. It was almost dusk. I stood, walking from the window and into the bathroom. I was going out tonight, not wollowing in my despair.

The elevator doos opened to the lobby a little over an hour later. I stepped out, quickly, not wanting to lose my nerve to get out of this place.
"Ren?" a female voice called. I looked up, finding Cordelia flipping through a thin book.
"Yes?" I asked, quietly.
"Where are you going?"
"A club. You wanna come?"
"You won't mind?"
"Better than going alone."
"Great! I'll be down in a few." she said, disappearing in the elevator, saying something along the lines of being 'greatful for bug spray'. Smiling slightly, I ran my fingers through my waist length hair. I looked down at my red, toeless high heels that matched my red dress perfectly. It had spaghetti straps that attached to the gatheres bodice. It clung to me until me hips where, from there down to my knees, it hung loosely. I had a matching red choker with a silver crescent moon charm hanging from it and silver armbands with little red jewels at the ends.
I began walking around the lobby snooping.
"You look nice." a male voice said, startling me. I turned, looking at Angel as he decended the grand staricase.
"I, personally, thought I looked better than 'nice', but that's just me."
"I, honestly, didn't expect to see you out of your room so soon."
"I didn't even expect to be in there for so long in the first place. I never expected him to get to me the way he did."
"So where are you going?"
"Cordelia and I are going clubbing." I said, walking to the check-in desk and leaning against it.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" he asked, walking behind the desk, burring his nose in a book.
"Why shouldn't I?" I turned to face him.
"There are a lot of weirdo's out there, and I don't entirely mean humans." He looked up at me.
"You know very well that no matter who's messin' with me I can take care of myself. All the time spent in Japan wasn't in vein."
"Just be careful, okay?"
"Okay. I will."
"And watch Cordelia. She likes to get people into trouble."
"Gee, thanks Angel!" Cordelia's voice rang through the lobby as she stepped from the elevator.
"Uh . . . Cordelia. I'm sor - " he said, attempting an uncharacteristic apology.
"Come one Ren. Let's go party." she said, ignoring Angel and grabbing my hand, leading me out the door and onto the street.
"So, any suggestions?" I asked.
"Yeah. Club Impulse." she smiled, leading me to the car, parked across the street.
"Sounds good." I said, stepping in the car and shutting the door behind me. She pulled her keys out of her purse and put them in the ignition, turning them and starting the car.
"You ready to have fun?" she asked, looking at me.
"Let's go." Smiling, she pulled the car into the middle of the street and peeled down it.

With Cordelia driving, what would have normally been a fifteen minute drive was, in all actuality, a five minute drive. But we, nevertheless, got there virtually unscathed.
She stopped the car in front of a valet and he helped me out of the car as Cordeila got out and tossed him the keys.
"It had better be in one peice when I get back." she warned the valet, approaching me. I just stood there, staring at the long line of people waiting to get in.
"Don't worry, I have connections." she said to me, dragging me up to the bouncer.
"Hey Kieth, sweetie." she greeted the rather large bouncer.
"Cordy! Haven't seen you in forever!" he greeted back with a kiss to her cheek.
"Yeah, well. I've been a bit busy with work and all. So, listen. You think you can get my friend and I in?"
"Anything for you Cordy." he said, unhooking the deep purple, velvet rope and allowing up access. Cordelia immediately grabbed my hand and dragged me in.
I looked around, there were hundreds of people in here, bumping and grinding to the pulsing music on the three levels. See, the first level was like a bar, going in a circle. The second was a dance floor-type that went around in a circle along the edges, just under the first floor. The bottom, was a flat dance floor with what looked like a large gazeebo in the center.
I looked at Cordelia's smiling face and, nodding, I smiled my approval. She pulled me with her again to the coat check where we checked our purses and then pulled me with her down to the bottom level where the pulsing music only seemed to have gotten louder. Immediately, she began swinging her hips with her arms up in the air, keeping tempo.
I soon found myself following her lead and dancing. I let my attention and worries loose while I just let myself feel free and unrestrained. Minutes passed like seconds and I soon found soft, warm hands wrapping around my waist. I turned my head back to where the offender was only briefly and not enough to see who it was before I got an urge to be naughty and decided to run with it.
I slightly backed into the obvious male behind me and the game began. I twisted and grinded into him and he responded every time, his hands slightly tightening around my waist. Soon, however, the game became more than that. It became a test to see who would give in first. It wasn't going to be me, I decided as I turned up the heat and completely pressed my body up against his and we moved together as one. I felt his lips on my neck and begin a trail down to my shoulder and I closed my eyes, letting out a moan that instantly died in the music.
I opened my eyes, seeing Cordelia standing in front of me, wide eyed and smiling. She nodded her head and I stepped from my partner, feeling his hands loosen and drop from my sides. I turned to look at him, pulling him close, my lips resting next to his ear.
"Thanks for the dance, Darien." I said, loud enough for him to hear and yet soft enough for no one else to hear. I kissed his neck and turned, leaving with Cordelia.



REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!
I cannot stress that enough. REVIEW!!
I changed the Angel character a bit to suit his purpose in the story (you guys are gonna hate me!).
I changed Serenity a bit - I like her this way.
Luna will make a big appearance in an upcoming chapter, do not fret!
I like Darien this way. What can I say, I've always had a weak spot for love-sick men. But only if they're in love with me!
As for the next chapter, the way I have it going through my twisted head, you are ALL gonna DESPISE me and I am gonna get a LOT of flames for it. Now all I have to do is actually write it.
Anyways, thanks for all the reviews thus far and continue to send in more. Reviews are like power, once you have a taste, you can't get enough. I'M REVIEW HUNGRY!!
