Dance Committee
Shadow was so confused. She had a Valentine from somebody (cough) special, but Griffey was still missing. She had started smuggling food upstairs to bring him back, but nothing was working. Yet, she felt a glow deep within herself. He felt the same way too (cough, COUGH).
"Hey guys! Oh, My, Gosh, you guys!" Ari shouted, running like mad towards the group (I'm tired of writing the names, sorry).
"You guys!" She shouted when she reached them.
"Yes?!" Dawne asked irritably. Shadow almost laughed.
"Okay, the football season is almost over and I was wondering if you wanted if you guys wanted to help me?" Ari said, gesturing with her hands wildly. Dawne stared at her blankly.
"With what?" She asked. Ari stared at her like she was stupid.
"Homecoming! Homecoming always happens after the football season. Tigger started giggling.
"But they don't let you on the team if you take steroids!" She laughed. Shadow stared at her.
"How are steroids funny?' Trayos asked. Tigger laughed harder, blushing. Shadow wanted to punch her. She could remember Tigger telling her once Trayos was cute…
"So, who wants to help me?" Ari asked excitedly. Tigger raised her hand still laughing.
"If Kurk doesn't take steroids!!" She cackled. Everyone felt slightly nervous…

"You're doing fine! Just lift it up a little" Ari giggled. Shadow reached higher. The banner she was attempting to hang was a three person job. Yet, only a few people joined the dance committee. And they all decided to 'test the food'. ALL of them, except Ari, who decided to, er, 'instruct' Shadow.
"I think this ladder is too short!" Shadow called. She could hear someone laughing from beneath her.
"What are you laughing at?!" She snapped, trying to look behind her. She heard Dawne shouting beneath her.
"You dork!" She yelled, shoving Lee. Unfortunately, she shoved him into the ladder.
"AAAAH!" Shadow screamed, clutching onto the banner. Lee stopped laughing.
"Oh crap, oh crap, oh holy crap…" Shadow muttered, silently praying to any higher being nearby that she wouldn't fall and die. She could almost see her life flashing before her eyes…
"I DON'T WANNA DIE!!" She screamed.
"Drama Queen!" Dawne shouted.
"When you're dangling off the ground by thousands of feet, remind me to call you a fat-head!" Shadow retorted. A ripping sound caught her attention.
Oh wonderful, I really am going to die… Shadow thought. The banner tore in half.
"GYAAAAAAA!" Shadow went spiraling down to the floor, which wasn't actually that far down. With a crash, she landed right on top of something.
"Ow…"
Something like Trayos, maybe…
" I'm so sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" Shadow apologized, pulling Trayos off the ground. Trayos just chuckled.
"Don't worry, I've done my fair share of falling" he chuckled. Dawne elbowed him in the gut. Shadow felt really awkward…
"Um… I like your jacket" She muttered, trying to shift the conversation. He was always wearing that bomber jacket, even on warm days…
"Aw, why couldn't you hold onto something else? Now we have to make a new banner!" Ari muttered, sadly picking up the remains of Shadow's momentary life saver…

"Sir, we have found the perfect time to recover K.I.R.A and the boy. It will have to be done carefully though, for that girl is getting attached to the boy and K.I. R. A, along with several other students" A man in a white coat reported. Marks didn't look up from the screen he was observing.
"I assume you want to tell me that you, an intern, have discovered that we are going to strike on homecoming and decided to make yourself smart and suggest it to me, assuming I would think you and I had the same idea?" Marks asked. The intern blushed.
"Uh… Yes? Sir?" He stuttered. What did Marks just say? He didn't catch any of it…
"What else?" Marks demanded. A cage next to him hissed viciously. Marks kicked it. Griffey scooted away, flapping his wings irritably.
"Um, well the girl seems to have developed a crush on…
"Anything I don't know?"
"And, from what we have observed, the boy seems to like her back…" The intern said slowly. Marks stared at him.
"Come here" He ordered. The intern stepped forward slowly. Marks pointed to the screen. It was a frozen video of a black haired girl falling, just about to hit the floor. There was a blur just beneath her that looked like a person, reaching out to catch her.
"Seems to? I think we have ourselves some leverage" Marks said coldly. Griffey felt like he was going to explode. What did they mean by 'leverage'?

"Oh help me! I'm falling!" Rondana mocked. Dawne clutched her sides laughing.
"It's not funny you guys!"
"I shall save you, Oh damsel in distress!" Rondana joked, mimicking Trayos. Shadow turned red.
"Knock it off!" She yelled. Tigger cackled, leaning against the wall for support. Everyone at the cafeteria table was laughing, except for Shadow and Trayos, who both looked indignant.
"She could of hurt herself" Trayos defended. Lee slid across the floor, holding his arms out like he trying to catch something. Shadow looked murderous.
"KNOCK IT OFF!"
Everyone stopped laughing. Lee pointed.
"Look! Someone's falling! Quick, Trayos, catch her!" He shouted. Everyone burst out laughing again. Shadow was a shade of violent red. Suddenly, someone prodded her with something sharp.
"Ow!" Shadow rubbed her arm. Lee stopped laughing.
"What?"
"Who just poked me?" Shadow asked, trying to sound civil. Everyone pointed to Lee.
"What!"
Marks kept staring at the screen. He could see K. I. R.A and the boy staring at the black haired girl, who had just reacted when her pet had been given a shot. He rewound the tape, focusing on every aspect that looked suspicious. Then, he noticed it. The girl's stone shone for a split second, just when the shot had been administered. He grinned. He now had more than just leverage. He had her weakness.
Ccccccccccccc
Le gasp! Marks is using Shadow's crush and power against her!! No one saw this coming! crowd gasps
Shadow gasps
I gasp
Oh wait, I knew this because I'm writing this…
Anyway, I'm gonna have a lot of free time to write, because my foot is totally screwed up. It's only a sprain, but it hurts like crazy. Ladies, do not wear high heels, then volunteer to help kids at church, you end up on the ground of the church playground with your foot twisted behind you. Then, avoid sitting on the stairs of the slide, for little children will stomp on your foot to get to the slide. My foot is currently a lovely shade of blackish blue.
