What do you think? Not bad for my first Alias fic, I think. Yeah, keep reading.
"What do you guys think?" Sydney yelled over the music.
"Loud." Will joked.
"Come on!" Francie pulled the two friends onto the dance floor. Sydney smiled, and began to dance. After a long set of songs, she hurried over to the bar. Will came tailing after her.
"Where'd you here about this place?" He asked.
"A co-worker told me. Like it?"
"Yeah. You?"
"Yeah." She picked up her drink. There was an eerie silence between the two.
"Hey." Francie said, grabbing the stool next to Sydney. Sydney smiled to herself. If ever there was a time for Vaughn to come, it was then. It would make the best cover-up. With her two best friends on either side of her, it would look like he really did just meet her. "Ok, this DJ is pretty cool."
"Yeah." Sydney said, off handedly.
Vaughn walked through the door, and looked around. His friend, Jack, did the same. "My, oh my, there are some hot ones here tonight." Jack told Vaughn, eyeing some of the women in the club. Jack took a look at the dance floor, where everyone had a partner already. Then Jack looked over at the bar where Sydney was sitting. Vaughn spotted her almost instantly, from the second they walked into the club. He didn't point her out or anything like that. He had to act discrete. He had to look like they had never met. Jack elbowed Vaughn in the arm. "Look at that one over there." Jack motioned to Sydney, and began to walk over to her. Vaughn just followed Jack. He gave a small smile at the sight of her.
"Jack, let me." He said. Jack gave a small scowl, but saw in Vaughn's eyes something odd. Something like he was really interested in this girl. Jack took a step back, and Vaughn led the way to Sydney.
Sydney saw Vaughn coming towards her, and she turned to Will. She began to mindlessly talk about how she had yet another trip for work to go on, and needed someone to do things for her. Francie tapped Sydney on the shoulder, and Sydney turned to her.
"What's up Francie?" She asked.
"There are two hotties coming your way. Days of being single I think are about ready to be over." Francie said.
"I don't think so. Come on, what are the odds that one of them is coming for me? They could be coming for you."
"I don't think so. The one in front is watching you very carefully." Francie said.
Sydney looked over to where Vaughn was coming from. She saw the look in his eyes, then turned back to Francie. She gave a small giggle. "I think you're right."
"What are you two girls giggling about?" Will asked.
"Do you really want to know?" Sydney asked. She flashed him a mischievous smile.
Will looked at her, and changed his mind. He couldn't believe how beautiful she looked that night.
"Hi." Vaughn said, approaching Sydney.
"Hi." Sydney shyly said.
"I couldn't help but notice you from over there, and I just thought. I'd really like to dance with that girl, would you like to dance?" From behind Vaughn, Sydney heard Jack snicker.
Sydney looked over at Francie, who raised her eyebrows. "You got to be crazy to say no." Francie whispered.
Sydney smiled, and stood up, taking Vaughn's outstretched hand. They walked to the dance floor and began dancing to the song. After that song was over, they continued to dance.
"I have yet to learn your name." Sydney said.
"Michael." Vaughn said.
"Well Michael, I am having a wonderful time."
"Me too." Vaughn smiled. His plan was going as planned. His smile quickly faded as Will came onto the dance floor. He tapped Sydney on the shoulder.
"Syd, we're going. You gonna come with?" He asked.
Sydney looked up at Vaughn. "It's midnight, and Cinderella must run." She said.
"Will the prince have a glass slipper?" Vaughn asked, playing along with the little joke.
Sydney smiled and pulled out a pen from her purse. On the back of a business card, she quickly scribbled her home phone. "Call me Michael." She said, leaving with her friends.
"What was that whole Cinderella thing?" Will asked, as the three got into the car.
"He quoted it while we were dancing, and it became this thing between us." Sydney said.
"Wow, two hours, and you already have an inside joke, you two must have hit it off." Francie said.
"I'm hoping he'll call."
"If he's smart, he will." Will said. Francie and Sydney looked at Will. "What?"
"Nothing." They said, turning back around.
