Krista watched the others leave and sighed. She smiled slightly while humming, she rocked Kyle smoothly and glanced at the sky and watched the slate colored clouds grouping together in the sky merging together like the foamy ocean waves. She knew it, there was going to be a storm and it could be big, and where there are storms there's rain. She sighed slightly and started chanting, "Don't rain, don't rain; don't rain."
She was getting bored and started to walk through the hotel to see what was there. She found a room with a lot of boxes. On top of a stack of boxes, there was a book. It had a black leather cover and there were words written on front in gold. They spelled out Cordelia Chase. Krista picked the book and went to the room the group was sharing. When she got back to the room she put Kyle into his crib and sat down in the rocking chair next to the crib. She opened the book and saw pictures of different people. She didn't recognize any of the people on the first few pages. One of them was a tall, dark, brooding man, then a tan girl with brown hair and brown eyes that looked like she could be a movie star, and there was man with bright blue eyes, black hair, and a happy grin.
"Well, well, well. Looks like I found something interesting." Krista said right before Kyle woke up and started crying. She put the book down and picked up the baby boy and carried him out of the room and put the album back. She wrapped Kyle up in a blue cotton blanket and slipped her brown velvet jacket and walked outside carrying the boy in her arms. She looked at the address and the name of the bar she was going to meet them at.
'Kinda funny that we're going to a bar even though Rissa and I are underage and we're taking the Littles.'
She pushed a strand of her now blonde hair out of her eyes and found the building.
'Okay so where's this Caritas place?'
She walked down the stairs and looked around. There were different types of people and demons. She finally found the table that Rissa was sitting at with Connor and walked over to them.
"Hey there guys."
She saw a vampire onstage singing and looked at them and handed Kyle to Marissa.
"I'll be back in a few Riss."
Marissa looked slyly at Conner and shifted the small child in her arms. "Oh, God, I just know she's going to sing. I don't think I've ever been so afraid for my life and ears."
Krista saw the stage was empty so she wrote the song on a slip and walked up.
'Here goes nothing.'
"I was feeling done in.couldn't win. I'd only ever kissed before.
You mean she?
Uhuh.
I thought there's no use getting into heavy petting;
it only leads to trouble and-seat wetting."
She looked out at the customers and saw two people that she recognized.
'Who are they?' she thought as she launched into her performance.
"Now all I want to know is how to go.
I've tasted blood and I want more. (More, more, more.)
I'll put up no resistance. I want to stay the distance
I've got an itch to scratch. I need assistance.
Toucha toucha toucha touch me
I want to be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night.
Then if anything grows, while you pose,
I'll oil you up and rub you down. (Down, down, down.)
And that's just one small fraction of the main attraction
You need a friendly hand and I need action.
Toucha toucha toucha touch me
I want to be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night."
Krista realized who they were and nodded at Marissa to look their way. Rissa excused herself and walked slowly around the room.
"Toucha toucha toucha touch me.
I want to be dirty.
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me.
Creature of the night.
Toucha toucha toucha touch me.
I want to be dirty.
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me.
Creature of the night.
Creature of the night.
Creature of the night?
Creature of the night.
Creature of the night.
Creature of the night.
Creature of the night.
Creature of the night."
Krista walked off the stage with a satisfied grin spread across her face. She walked over to the table which Marissa had claimed for herself, while gawking at Connor.
"So Rissa, you gonna say anything or are you gonna keep on staring at him?"
Marissa glared at Krista.
"I wasn't staring, I was just."
"Admiring that hotness of a guy named Connor?"
"Doing research on."
"Let me guess, you can bear a child for?"
That earned Krista a whack to the head and a look of death.
"Ow. You lil bit."
"Not in front of the littles," Marissa bit off.
Conner got up from his table and began to make his way towards the two girls, but changed his mind and headed over to where Fred and the rest of the investigators.
"Well Rista, looks like you drove another person away."
"Feh."
Krista looked at the others again and looked at the two familiar people that she noticed earlier.
"Deep in thought?"
"Yes."
"That's a first."
"Once again, feh. Second off, I think I recognize them."
"No duh Rista. They're Fred, Gunn, and Connor. Except for those two others."
"If I wasn't so rudely interrupted, I would've told you that I'm talking about those two."
"So who do you think they are?"
"I think the girl is Cordelia and I'm not sure about the cute guy."
"Mind informing the uninformed?"
"Oh, well after you guys left I went into that room filled with boxes and I saw a picture album with a picture of them with their names in it."
"You looked through a book that doesn't belong to you? Rista, that's so wrong."
"What's your point?"
"You know, we are going to have to curb these little impulses of yours. I mean, how many times have they almost gotten us killed? And the littles are watching us. You have to stop-"
"Umm... hello? We watched your mother. Wasn't that a bad enough influence for us? Also, did you hear the weather for tomorrow?"
"No, I didn't what is it?"
"Rain, but promise me that you won't go outside!!! The last time you did that we couldn't find you for days! You can't keep doing that."
"But you know that she's going to be out there! I need to find her. The rain is the only time we get to play!" Marissa cried out, a glazed look sifting into her eyes. Fortunately, Lorne came over to see how they are doing, and to talk to Krista about her singing.
"Well hello! How do you guys like Caritas? I had Gunn and everyone promise not to demolish it like they always do, but I'm not sure that'll happen. Hey, you said your name is Marissa right? I think that you should go meet Cordy and Doyle. And make sure you sing some of your own karaoke I need to talk to Kris here alone."
"Don't call me Kris. My sister called me Kris. She's dead now, deader then a can of Spam. Don't call me Kris."
"How poetic. Must say I loved your singing, by the way. But I can't I was expecting the choice of the song. Not many people would be brave enough to get up there and sing a song from the Rocky Horror Picture Show."
"Well, I was Columbia and Janet in a cast every now and then until I was about fifteen." While they were talking, Marissa wondered over to meet Cordelia and Doyle. Krista looked up momentarily and gave her a look that said, 'Go on already Rissa. Just give me all the details afterwards.' Marissa sighed softly as she walked over to the groups table. She saw a seat next to Connor and sat down, noticing Krista giving her a look.
"So Connor, who's your friend?" Cordelia asked. Conner rolled his eyes and looked away, while Fred cut in and released him from answering the inquiry.
"This is Marissa. Marissa, I'd like you to meet Cordelia Chase and Doyle."
"Hi, it's nice to meet you." Marissa said softly. She noticed Krista walking over to them.
"Hi." Cordelia said.
Krista sat down and saw Doyle and smiled.
"Hi." Krista said in a soft voice, unlike her usual boastings and grievances.
"Hey." Doyle said. Krista sighed dreamily.
"Umm, Rista, can I talk to you for a minute? Alone?" Marissa asked.
"Yeah, sure," Krista said as they walked over to a somewhat seclude corner of the bar.
"Rista, you have crushed on him hard, huh?"
"Me? Crush? On who?" Krista replied in a surprised tone.
"You. Yes. On Doyle." Marissa stated firmly in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Oh, well, I guess. Maybe. Listen, I'm not feeling too good. I'm just going to head home." Krista said feigning a slightly dizzy motion.
"Fine, I'll let you off this once." Marissa said.
Krista walked back to the Hyperion and thought about everything that had happened so far. She curled up on her bed. A few minutes later darkness took over her and she fell asleep.
