Vione Easter Eggs: Chapter 2
Chocolate and Candy
"CRASH!!!"
Everyone paused. In the hall they could hear cursing and sound of people shuffling. T'Chebbi peered outside then pressed herself against the wall as three people came tumbling past her. The girl in the lead had Draconian wings. Her hair was brown with natural streaks of gold in it. She wore bunny ears, a black tank top with the word 'Love' written in rhinestones as well as beige capris and cute sneakers to match. Behind her two guards followed. In a wild attempt to catch her one of them flung himself at the girl. The three of them crashed into the floor.
"I've got her!" the man said triumphantly before he realized where he was.
"Un-hand my guest at once." The cold voice could only belong to Dilandau.
"Lord D-Dilandau…! We, uh, we weren't told to be expecting guests…" the man said hauling the Draconian to her feet and twisting her arms behind her back. "We have orders f-from lord Aldelphos the, um, guard the Vione… with no exceptions."
"N-no exceptions?!" Dilandau's voice shook with anger. "Well, how unfortunate for you…" He smiled looking into the deep brown eyes of the girl known as Lina. She had a look of pain from the man's grip.
"We're sorry Lord- "
"I'm sure you will be if you don't un-hand her this instant." The men exchanged looks of fear. Folken stepped forward.
"As Zaibach's stratigos I overrule Aldelphos. Go now before Dilandau turns this into a blood fest." The two men glanced around once more before dropping Lina and dashing out of the room. Dilandau leaned forward and helped her up. She smiled and rubbed her wrists.
"What jerks." She said her dark eyes happy once more.
"I know, most people on the Vione are. With the exception of this room and it's guests." He laughed then grinned at her. "You're lucky I recognized you or I would have chopped you to pieces – Draconian." The two of them talked quietly while Refina and Migel set up the dance floor. SkullyCat, Draven and Jajuka were organizing activities on the other side of the room.
"Uh, hey guys could I have a little help here?" T'Chebbi and Makoto turned back to the doorway. Meliae stood there she had streaked her long black hair royal blue instead of it's once wine red. Her nearly black eyes looked at them expectantly. Meliae was dressed in festive colours, a unbuttoned blue and yellow striped short sleeve polo shirt, light blue capris and white sandals with an inch thick platforms. She had her hands on her hips.
"Meliae!" Dalet walked over to her. She smiled at him and greeted him with a friendly hug.
"Now would you help me with this?" she gestured to something behind the door. Together, the two of them carried in a giant chocolate rabbit. As soon as Dilandau saw it he started laughing hysterically. Lina glanced at the rabbit and did a double take.
"What the hell is that!" T'Chebbi asked from the doorway.
"Just something Skully asked me to pick up on my way here."
"It's so evil!!" she stated bluntly. Makoto was trying to control fits off laughter. Dilandau as well as most of the other slayers were laughing. Dalet put the chocolate rabbit down beside Skully and Draven. Syaoran looked at it.
"It's ugly." He remarked.
"And damn heavy too!" Meliae added. Dalet lead her over to the dance floor.
"Come on let's have the first dance of the party!" he took her hands and they danced for a while. They danced for a while and a few other people joined them. Draven and Syaoran included, leaving Skully and Jajuka to finish planning.
"Hey Dilandau! Whatcha' up too?" the voice was kind and playful. T'Chebbi and Makoto watched as the girl walked past them to Dilandau and Lina. She had dirty blond hair the fell just above her shoulders. And happy blue eyes. Dilandau turned to look at her, she was wearing denim shorts and a grey long sleeve shirt with an army one overtops. When he acknowledged her she smiled and ran to hug him. He was caught off balance and fell into Lina. The three of them landed in a heap, had it been anyone but Dilandau the slayers would have been laughing their heads off. As it was they tried not to notice.
Folken smiled, chuckling slightly. He and Aiko walked forward and helped the three of them up.
"Stop laughing Folken! It's not funny!" Folken smiled at the younger boy.
"Dilandau, relax, it's not that funny." Still Folken smiled, Aiko giggled wrapping her arms around one of Folken's. Her long wavy bluish-silver hair swaying around her, her eyes lighting up with laughter.
Lina rubbed the back of her head feeling for a bruise. Dilandau looked at her almost apologetically. She smiled slowly at him in the same manner that she had when they danced at Valentine's day. He felt his face grow warm and turned away to face this new comer. The girl was dusting herself off. Her blonde hair falling across her face, her blue eyes were now hazel.
"Who are you?" he asked as she stood up.
"I'm a white rose petal!" she giggled, "My name is Petal, I came to see you all for Easter!"
"Oh…" it looked as though he might say more, but he didn't. her eyes were now a happier mix of teal and green. "you have intresting eyes…"
"Why thank you!" she laughed and the two of them fell into conversation. Lina crossed her arms over her chest and frowned, SkullyCat came up behind her and put an arm around her, steering her in the direction of the table in the corner.
"I know how you feel… I'm think of me! busy working… writing so much, *sigh* anyway you can help me over here…" Lina didn't look all that interested in setting up stuff but she came along anyway.
"I'm so glad you came…" Folken whispered in Aiko's ear. She giggled and leaned against him. The tall man pulled her closer to him. She was wearing a silky silver dress and had been by Folken's side since the party started.
"Get a room…" T'Chebbi muttered looking sick from all the mushy lovey-dovey stuff going on. She slinked over to talk to Draven only to find her and Syaoran all over each other, giggling and flirting. "I'm going to hurl…" she crept over to the door and slumped down beside Makoto.
"Hey 'Chebbi, something wrong?" he asked looking down at her.
"I was prepared for this at Valentine's day not Easter! Ah…" he laughed and she smiled a little.
"Okay everyone we're going to paint Easter eggs in a minute alright?" SkullyCat announced. Everyone murmured their agreement. Dilandau just frowned, his finger tracing the scar on his cheek.
No one noticed as
"Happy bunny day!" she cried out. Everyone in front of her nearly fell over, a few of them jumped with surprise.
"H-how, did you get here?" one of the stammered. She giggled smiling at them all. In appearance she looked an awful lot like a female version of Dalet the only big difference was a sprinkling of freckles. She was wearing tight black pants ending in a bell bottom sort a way, and a long grayish blue night shirt that reached down just above her knee's. The shirt had a picture of with Pooh and Piglet on it; both of them had bunny ears and were carrying Easter baskets. Around her neck was a thin golden chain.
"Wouldn't you like to know!" she replied and proceeded over to Gatti. "Hey it's me, Sabby, you remember me right?"
"Of course I do!" he smiled happily. "It's so nice to see you again."
"Hey! Sabby you're here!" Dalet walked over with Meliae.
"Hey Dalet! Nice to see you too!" the three of them laughed and talked and eventually went to dance.
Skully and Lina watched. They were still setting up the egg painting. They looked bored.
"I wanna dance with Dilandau…" Lina said, an evil smile appeared on her lips. Dilandau, although out of earshot, saw the smile and blushed looking away.
"Lina I think you scare Dilly-Sama… he's not used to not knowing what he's doing…. You make him nervous."
"Hehe, I know but it's so fun!"
"Well, I have to admit it's fun to watch too!" Skully giggled remembering the uncomfortable look on his face when Lina had danced too close to him.
"SK Marie, this is Tikula. I found her wandering around outside, I believe that she was looking for the party." Jajuka said pushing a girl with long black hair and purple eyes in front of him. She was dressed in lose comfortable black jeans and a red shirt. Clipped to her belt was a sword. She smiled and waved slightly at the other two girls.
"Hey! You here to see a certain someone, or just for a good time."
"Uh, well…" she blushed slightly. "I just came to have fun, and maybe meet a few people."
"Who in particular?" Lina asked.
"Well I would like to meet Migel…" she blushed again.
"Heyyy do you like him?" Skully asked, leaning closer.
"Uh, well…" Lina and Skully looked expectantly at her, Tikula glanced back and forth. Jajuka sighed.
"Oh brother… I'm going to go talk with Naria…" he left the girls to pry information out of the newcomer.
And so it continued with Dilandau talking to Petal. Dalet, Gatti, Meliae and Sabby were dancing together. Jajuka and Naria were talking while Aiko and Folken 'Talked'. Makoto and T'Chebbi were discussing people, and Draven and Syaoran had disappeared off somewhere. SkullyCat and Lina had abandoned the egg painting to talk with Tikula about guys - Migel in particular. What a happy Easter…
