Hey all! It's me again! Admit it, you're glad I'm updating! Guess what! This chapter is all about: the dance! Allow me to explain. See, the dance is from 8:00 PM- 10:30 PM, and when Ulrich and Audrey were making out it was about 6:30 PM. So... yeah.
Disclaim: I don't own CL. Or the songs.
Claim: I own my OCs and everything about them and the story plot.
+Exasperated+
The four girls were at Yumi's house at 7:00 PM to get ready for the dance. They'd already taken their showers, that way they could get ready in fifty minutes since it took ten minutes to walk to school.
They closed the blinds and locked the doors, thankful that Yumi's parents were out and that Hiroki was at Johny's house. Then they began changing in the living room. (I will have links in my profile soon.)
Yumi was wearing a short dress that went halfway down her thighs. The skirt part was white and so were the long sleeves, but they had black tights and a the top part was purple, along with the sleeves until they reached her elbow. That dark purple part went all the way down until it touched the floor. She had a dark purple bandana in her hair.
Aelita wore a white dress, but the top part looked like a butterfly. The part that covered her stomach was pink, but the skirt part was white and it only reached her mid-thigh, too. She had red ribbons tied into her hair.
Audrey's outfit was different then both of theirs. Her dress was entirely black, but the front of it formed into tight short shorts- they were at the very top of her thighs- and the back of it flowed to the floor like a full-length dress. She also had on black boots that went up to half way up her thighs, which were hard to walk in. She had long sleeves.
Ivy wore a simple strapless dark blue dress. it was the tightest out of all the dresses. Her shoes were small, dark blue heels.
After that they did their make up, and soon after Yumi went to answer the door for Ulrich, Odd, Jeremie, William's clone, and Alan. Alan had tagged along, hoping to try once more to get things right with Ivy. They each wordlessly took the hand of their date, but in Alan and Ivy's case, Alan had his hand in his pocket and Ivy crossed her arms across her chest.
When they reached the dance, loud music blasted through the speakers.
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space
The couples split up into groups, and Ulrich grabbed Audrey's small hand. She giggled absentmindedly as he took her toward the DJ booth, where there was a professional DJ playing 'Crazy'.
And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Probably
"What song are you requesting?" the shaggy haired man asked.
"Far Away, by Nickelback," Ulrich said promptly.
"I'll play it after this song," he said. The DJ smiled at him when he saw Audrey's hand in his.
"I'm DJ Chad. I prefer DJ Chad."
"I'm Ulrich, and this is Audrey."
"Hi."
"See you kids later." So Ulrich dragged her off again, this time to dance.
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you,
who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
They danced for a minute before Audrey bumped into someone. She was about to turn around and apologize when she realized it was-
"Oh, sorry, Audrey," Amber said. She was wearing a slutty brown strapless dress that only went to her mid thighs and high heels.
"Nice to know," Audrey replied.
Amber looked at her strangely, then looked to Ulrich, "Brownie Bear!" She hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek before he could protest.
"I'm not your Brownie Bear!" He looked for Audrey, then saw she had disappeared into the crowd.
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I wanna be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
But Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably
Uh, uh
Ulrich followed her into the crowd and grabbed her elbow.
"Audrey?" He said. She stopped and turned to him.
"Yeah?"
"I didn't-"
"I'm just thirsty," she explained.
"Oh, okay," he sighed with relief and she got a bowl of punch. After she finished it, Ulrich took her hand because Far Away had started playing.
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
Slow dancing couples swayed with the music. Even Jeremie was dancing with Aelita... everyone was happy. However, there were four people in the room that weren't dancing: Alan, William's clone, Yumi, and Ivy.
Ivy wasn't about to get up and slow dance with herself. So instead, she drank some punch. After drinking the whole thing down, she walked over to William's clone and took his hand. They slow danced on the dance floor, much to pretty much everyone's shock.
Ivy considered this a friendly dance, of course, especially since it was with a clone. William's clone had difficulty of course, it was his first slow dance.
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
Out of the corner of her eye, Ivy saw the look of hurt in Alan's eyes. Not only light blue, but also red, not a good sign. Yumi looked fine with it, but then looked completely shocked when Alan asked her to dance. Ivy hid her light blue eyes.
"William?" She asked the clone.
"Um, that's me, right?" He asked stupidly.
"Yeah. I hate Alan. I hate him more than anything else in the world. But I also love him more than anything else in the world. I don't know what to do."
"How am I supposed to know?"
"You're not."
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
Ivy absent mindedly hummed to the song.
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving
Hold on to me and
never let me go
Ivy parted with William, but another slow song came on. She walked out of the lunch room, unable to face Alan, and transformed into a cat. Her nose twitched at the smell of mouse, but she ignored it. Mouse wasn't her destination. Then again...
She opened her mouth to get a better scent, then prowled around. When the mouse was in sight, she set her weight on her haunches and sprang. She killed it quickly and held the delectable appetizer in her jaws. She launched into a cat like sprint and reached the dorms in moments. It didn't take her long before she eased her self- and the mouse- under the door of Amber's room.
"Scraps?" She meowed.
"You again?"
"My name's Ivy," she replied, dropping her fresh-kill in front of him. "Eat." He did as he was told, but they ended up sharing the mouse.
"So what brings you here, werecat?"
"Boredom and loneliness," she replied.
"Poor you," he licked the top of her head affectionately.
"You're more sympathetic than the William clone!"
"What's a William clone?"
So she told him a story.
+Playful+
The dance had ended and Audrey was looking for Ivy. She'd disappeared after the second song and no one had seen her. She gave up and returned worriedly to her room after half an hour.
At 12:30 AM, Audrey was still awake, and a blue cat slipped into the room. It pranced over to Ivy's bed and it was only seconds later that another cat, a blue-gray tom, padded across the carpet into the room. Ivy transformed into her human self and the cat jumped into her lap.
"You have some explaining to do!" Audrey commented crossly.
Ivy stroked the kitten's head, thinking of the right words. She didn't want to say she was falling for Alan again, but she didn't want to mention that she was jealous when he asked Yumi to dance. How was she to word a feeling that couldn't possibly be felt? "I was in Amber's room, playing with Scraps. He was lonely," she lied.
"You spent four hours playing with a cat?"
"Yup."
Audrey paused, "Did you see anything?"
"I didn't see shit, but I heard pretty much everything."
"Language, Ivory."
"Name, Indigo Brat."
"Shut up! Tell me what you heard."
"Thought I was supposed to shut up."
"Well you're obviously not, so-"
"Basically, she's pressing that he likes her better then you and that he wants her."
"Not bad."
"Problem is, I heard them kiss."
"You heard?"
"Yes." Audrey moaned in frustration. "Then I heard him cuss her out, but they're still friends."
"Why couldn't she have just never met him? Why can't she just leave him alone?"
"It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all..." Ivy sang, kicking off her shoes and laying back on her bed.
"Shut up!"
"It's a small world after all, it's a small, small world." Audrey had tears of frustration and anger running down her cheeks. Ivy looked sick.
"Ivy, do you have to do that?"
"Yes."
Audrey flipped over dramatically, which resulted in her hitting the ground with a sharp thud. Ivy burst into fits of laughter.
They laughed until their insides hurt and had a pillow fight. Ivy tackled Audrey after she was painfully hit in the face with a down pillow. They play wrestled like cats on the ground, but did not bear their 'claws'.
"Ow!" Ivy cried out suddenly as Audrey bumped her tender palm.
"What happened?" Audrey examined the deep wound. "Oooh, right on the pad."
"From when I met Scraps. We got in a tussle and ended up sharing tongues. Sort of like Firestar and Smudge in the first book from Warriors."
"I see," she paused, "When do you plan on returning Scraps?"
"He'll return himself when he wants to leave."
"Meaning?"
"He'll be here a while."
There, another chapter, and it's about the dance. As before mentioned, I have links to their dance outfit for Yumi, Aelita, Ivy, and Audrey in my profile. My pen pal, I-Breached-UR-Security, is letting me use her photobucket to post the pictures. Go IBURS! Now go you and REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!
