A/N:
Okay I am SO SORRY I haven't updated in forever. School started
and I'm in like an AP class and 2 Honors classes so I haven't
really had time... for anything... and on top of that I joined a
couple clubs and Aikido's taking a lot of my time...
Again I
apologize.

Joan held onto Riley's arm a little harder as they appeared before the gym doors. Joan turned to look at Riley. "I'm scared. I don't want to go anymore."
Riley gently squeezed her hand and sported a smile. "Don't worry Joan, you looked wonderful, you'll stop everyone dead in their tracks." Joan laughed to relieve the nervous tension she was gathering.
Grace gripped on to Luke's arm for dear life. "Grace it's okay, you look beau-" Grace cut the circulation off to Luke's arm.
"Do not finish that sentence or I shall murder you in your sleep." Luke smirked at Grace. "That's a nice thing to tell your boy-" Grace gripped harder.
"Don't finish that sentence either."
Joan and Riley stepped inside the double doors of the gym, relishing in the vibrant decorations of orange, red, and yellow. The walls were adorned with orange, red and yellow leaves.
There were also several pumpkins decorating the tables. It was a homey and autumn-ness atmosphere and Joan loved it. It made her feel quite at peace.
Grace stepped in and felt like she was going to puke.
Luke just wondered in the amazement of the several intricate designs on each of the pumpkins.
Across on the other side by the punch bowl, stood Faith and Adam.
Faith was wearing a beautiful red double strap halter dress where the bottom cut diagonally from the right knee down to the left ankle. She wore red heels (like the ones in "wish upon a star" if you saw that movie). The top of her hair was split in two and tied behind, red sparkles flowing inside.
"Adam, I know you're looking for her, why don't you just go, find her and then ask her to dance?" Adam looked at Faith with an unreadable expression.
"No it's okay Faith. I came here with you, and I don't want to abandon you like that." Faith put a reassuring arm on Adam's shoulder.
"Hey, don't worry about me, I'll stand here and ... uh... guard the punchbowl, now go!"
Adam looked at Faith oddly. "The punchbowl's not going to move."
Faith scrunched up her face in a caught like manner. "I know that silly, but who knows, what if someone spikes it? Now go find her!"
Adam shook his head. "No Faith, that's okay... I mean she's probably not going to even want to see me... Come on. Let's dance."
Faith looked at Adam like he was crazy. "Dance? Are you sure?" Adam bent down and held his hand out in front of her in a chivalrous manner. "May I have the honor of this dance?"
Faith curtseyed and took Adam's hand as he smiled and led her out onto the dance floor. The song "Somewhere In Between" by Lifehouse began to play as Adam wrapped his left arm around Faith's stomach and held her other hand in his.
I can't meetLosing sleep over this
No I can't
And now I cannot stop pacing
Give me a few hours
I'll have this all sorted out
If my mind would just stop racing
Joan heard the beginning lyric of the new song she'd been hearing on the radio a couple times.
The soft melodic sound of the lead singer's voice brought a pang to Joan's heart.
Suddenly, as she turned to look at the couples flocking to the dance floor to cuddle up, she spotted Adam and Faith.
Who in her opinion were getting just a little too close for contact.
Grace was too absorbed with the floor to take in anything around her, until Luke led her onto the dance floor and began to sway with her.
Riley noticed the change in Joan's mood and looked at her with a questioning visage. "Something wrong?"
Joan looked quickly away from Adam, picked a spot on the floor and stared at it. Suddenly on impulse she grabbed Riley and led him to the dance floor, deliberately near Adam and Faith.
Nothing like a woman scorned.
