Just thought I'd submit this before class started, just because it's here and I have the time. Here's the continuation of chapter four, involving a skirt, a thong, pervy Balthazar, and a lucky mirror. Poor Dave-he gets no breaks, does he? XD

Disclaimer: Anybody that you recognize is not mine. Everyone else is up for grabs.
Pairing(s): Balthazar/Dave
Summary: Danielle wears a skirt, thanks to Becky, and Balthazar has a plan to see under it. After all, he may be a very old sorcerer, but he's still got that boyish urge to look up a girl's skirt. :D

Oh, just thought I should mention this now, but...all these chapters are un-beta'd.

4. SKIRT - Balthazar, although he wouldn't admit it to her face, was glad that Danielle's friend Becky had gotten her a skirt to sometimes wear. It was a simple thing, nothing more than a simple plaid skirt that reached down three-fourths of the way to her knees and she always made sure to wear stockings that rose UP her thighs three-fourths of the way - "That way I won't get the physics guys trying to look up this thing if they think I'll always wear black, non-see-through stockings with this thing," was her reasoning, and it was perfectly sound reasoning too. However, she forgot that Balthazar was a sorcerer, and sorcerer's always got what they wanted, and what Balthazar wanted was, although childish, something that all men with a girlfriend wanted - to see up his girlfriend's skirt.

On a day she chose to wear the skirt to training, Balthazar decided that they would be learning how to work with the wind. Danielle had been doing well with fire, and though she was quickly mastering the beginner spells, she needed to work with the other elements first before moving on to higher spells. After all, if a sorcerer mastered one element before all the others, they usually had an aversion to using the other elements, if they even gave a care about learning the other elements. Balthazar made sure to position Danielle so she was standing in front of a mirror he had enchanted while her back was turned so only he could see it. Telling Danielle that the way to work with air was to flow with it, he showed her how to get the air flowing for a beginner, telling her to blow a stream with her mouth into her hands and to imagine the air particles moving, then controlling them as though her hands were creating a bubble and her thoughts were a kind of fan. After a number of mess ups ranging from hardly anything to winds that blew Balthazar off of his feet, Danielle eventually got it, and Balthazar showed her how to send the air towards someone and how to stop it if it was sent at her. When she was sure she got it down, Danielle sent the air at Balthazar, who instantly sent it back at her. Unfortunately for Danielle, she failed to stop it, and let out a bit of of an "eep!" when the air stream blew threw her legs and lifted up her skirt.

In an effort to keep some amount of decency, Danielle used both hands to keep the front of it down, thinking that because Balthazar wasn't behind her, it was alright for the back to lift up. Sadly, Danielle didn't yet know how to look for something that was hidden (although Balthazar swore he'd teach her after she learned how he hid the Grimhold from Horvath and Drake), and thus never knew that Balthazar saw the blue lacey thong that Becky had somehow gotten her to wear (Becky, Balthazar decided, was deserving of some very big and one-of-a-kind gift). When Danielle was sure that her skirt was no longer going to fly up, she looked back up at Balthazar, only to find that he had his back to her, and seemed to be dabbing at his face. "Um, Balthazar? Are...you alright?"

Had she known how to invoke an out-of-body experience and performed one then, she would have been able to step in front of Balthazar and see he was dabbing at a bloody nose. Since she couldn't, she didn't know, and Balthazar was glad about that. All he did was tell her that he was fine and that she should go and practice, then headed to his makeshift bedroom before his apprentice could do anything.

Danielle heard the door close, and figured that he'd enchant it to not let her in because he needed some "Balthazar Time" to figure out a training method for her. Had she only let her female curiosity out of its box and listened through the door, or had used a spell to grab something that was in Balthazar's mind at the moment, Danielle would have heard some noises that she'd heard on those annoying porn pop-up ads and would have seen an image of her in Balthazar's mind being a naughty schoolgirl. It was a good thing for Balthazar that she DIDN'T see or hear those things, though, or he would have been cut off from any sort of affection for a month or two.

END

And there we see that Balthazar can indeed be normal...sort of. Yay for upskirting and yay for devious Becky. Because Danielle Stutler in any kind of skirt would be sexy. Also, thanks to xTornAsunderx, I'm thinking of doing a Drake/Fem!Dave fic if my classes give me a break. Nyahaha, that would be awesome. 8D

Also, please review, even if it's as simple as "love it" or "hate it". It lets me know you actually like it. Plus, if you have any requests, please tell me! I'm always glad to have ideas! Love you all!
