I don't own things :p

BARTELBY'S SCHOOL FOR BOYS

Artemis wasn't really looking where he was going. After all even a genius as great as his could only think of so many things at once. In addition to going over and analyzing the meeting in his head he was predicting the stocks and cursing himself for not finishing the programming holographic ID (like a clone only without all the biological mess and storing problems) in time for the dance.

Excuses aside he didn't see when the bathroom door opened to reveal a young girl who promptly collided with him. Now physics say when you hit some thing above the center of gravity it falls backward. That was what Artemis could tell you what he couldn't tell you is how to fall.

Lucky for him Luna had formal training on the subject and was able to catch both him and her self. This however did not combine well with Artemis' strategy of grab blindly in the air. They in fact combined very badly, especially for Artemis' immediate health. When the two reached the ground Artemis' hands where in two very bad places.

Luna rose slowly turning various shades of red/purple. When she looked up at Artemis the look she gave him told him to run. It took five people to stop her from killing him but no one could stop the screams and the word "pervert!" rang through the halls.

LATER IN THE DORMITORIES

Artemis groaned his lodging associates (for anyone who doesn't know this is Artemis for roommates) where back. All he would have time to do is finish the background checks on the Nufon's girls. Little known to him there was a similar groan from the air in the corner of the room Root had been following him this whole time.

He nearly died of laughing when Artemis had his little "accident". This would be bad news for Foaly who currently had his chips on heart attack and was doing his best to win. Now he'd have to wait to talk to the mud-boy. "D'avert!" he swore well he might as well wait here until the kid got back. He could always watch the brat from the spy cams he had "found" peppered all over the school. He loved the irony of the kid being spied on by the cameras he paid for.

Artemis left with his clothes to get dressed in the bathrooms. The search had turned up nothing. He assumed this would be a tedious, uninteresting, dull dreary, mind-numbing, tiresome, lackluster, unexciting, monotonous, wearisome, humdrum, uninspiring, and overall boring night. He couldn't be more wrong.

THE DANCE

Luna sat in a corner of the room overall board. Despite many requests and a few pleas she had yet to leave her chair in the first half of the five-hour dance. She longed to leave but the rules said no one could leave until they danced at least once.

She scanned the room. Most of the guys and girls had danced and left. A good amount of couples still graced the dance floor eager to "dance the night away". She saw no one else like her. There was no one who hadn't danced with at least one of the opposite sex.

It was then that she saw the guy from the hallway coming her way. She thought it was smart of him to wait until most of the morons cleared away. Still she wondered what he thought made him any different from them.

"What do you want pervert boy?" she snarled.

"I just thought that maybe you'd like to get out of here" he said with his best smile. Unfortunately it made him look oddly like a vampire.

She didn't even notice "Dance? With you? Not likely!" she smiled just as evilly back at him.

"I have work to do and all the other girls giggle too much," or I scare them he added mentally.

"Fine" said Luna surprising even her self.

As they walked to the dance floor the entire room fell silent. Finally the DJ figured out what he was supposed to be doing and put on a slow song. The two fell into step. Artemis silently thanked his mother for making him go to dance lessons. Luna was too in awe of the fact she found Artemis attractive to think anything but 64...128...256...512...

Can anyone guess my nameing syntax for Llebbmud and Nufenon's? Pairings relised after someone does!

I'll (probly) update soon.
