Nathaniel was running around the gymnasium mumbling about there not being enough time. He had only just finished sweeping and mopping the floor. The windows were clean, the writing on the walls and benches scrubbed away, and all of the equipment put behind locked doors where they couldn’t get in the way of tonight’s festivities. The problem was he hadn’t started putting up the decorations yet. It wasn’t his fault. The decorations hadn’t shown up until late last night and he hadn’t gotten them until early this morning. Like always Nathaniel had taken on more than he could handle in an attempt to help. The school committee that was usually in charge of this stuff had claimed that they really needed some assistance if they were going to be able get everything ready in time for the dance Saturday night. Of course, after that Nathaniel had offered to help but sure enough no one from the committee had come to help him. Nathaniel wasn’t mad. He could never be mad. He was trying to think of excuses for the committee members. Maybe they were really busy and just forgot. Yeah, that had to be it. After all, it was still only the first week of school and there must be lots of things for them to do that were way more important then decorating for a dance. Surely he could be understanding of that? So Nathaniel continued on by himself. He put up the bleachers and began covering the walls in large billowing black paper to covered up the bump in the wall where it was obvious the bleachers were stored and extra doors that lead to places like the locker rooms and equipment closet. When he was done with that he began to fill up the hundreds of red balloons he had with helium and hung them from the ceiling (with the help of a very tall ladder from which he almost fell several times) one at a time along with long silver streamers. The school colors only covered red and black but Nathaniel felt that was just a little too depressing for a party and planned on adding a lot of silver in the mix. He was determined to make this place took amazing for tonight in a way where no one would recognize it. There was a lot to do in a very small span of time but he would get it done even though he wouldn’t get credit for any of it. All the credit would go to the committee leader. But Nathaniel didn’t mind. This wasn’t about him. It was about his school getting a great back to school dance.

Remy sighed walking into the school, She was always early to help the Dance committee with anything they hadnt gotten finished. She saw no one outside, odd. She saw no one around at all, But she heard the bleachers being pushed back. Her eyes grew wide, one person doing it all? She shook her head and walked into the gym thinking there would be at least 4 people there. No one, But one. Some guy she didnt know, He was cute, she smiled, and watched as he placed paper over the wall, and the balloons. She tried not to laugh as he almost fell many times.
"Hey, Want some help? she asked holding the ladder for him She smiled looking up at him, as he placed the silver streamers up she smiled again "Silver goes great with the Black and Red, Black and Red is wayyy too depressing for a party!" She said trying to make a conversation with this, hott guy who was by himself other than her. She leaned on the wall still holding the ladder, as he stayed up there just working away.
She sighed and tilted her head. if no one else is here, this boy stil won't get all the credit, she shook her head not fair, i'll just have to talk to someone about that." she thought to herself. She looked up again and waited for him to speak.

Nathaniel had about a quarter the ceiling covered in balloons and streamers when he heard someone enter the gymnasium door behind him. He turned around to look curiously and saw a girl he’d never met before which was sort of disappointing though he didn’t let it show. He had really been hoping it was someone from the committee finally showing up to help but as the girl grabbed the ladder that had started to wobble again and offered her assistance he beamed and turned to pin the last balloon in his hand to the ceiling before jumping down to land on his feet beside her. Nathaniel ran his hand through his hair instinctively as he surveyed the girl trying to get a sense of what she was then he beamed at her again flashing his teeth in a grin. “I’d love the help thanks,” he said before turning hesitantly to the dozens of bags still filled with balloons. “It’s going to be a lot of work though.” Nathaniel smiled as the girl mimicked his thoughts about the color scheme and then ran off quickly coming back with a cart full of red and white roses that he’d ordered for the dance. He picked up a silver one and walked back to the girl holding it up to show her. “I had half of them spray painted.” Nathaniel handed the girl the flower and added “You can keep that one. There are plenty. My name’s Graison, by the way. Nathaniel Graison."

She smiled as he jumped down and landed beside her. She laughed and nodded agree he could use the help. She looked around the gym and looked at the bag of balloons. "Work? Not too bad, I do it all the Time!" she smiled and watched as he ran off. oh shit, he left, Fuck now i have to do all this by myself! Shit! was the thought that passed through her mind until she saw him running back with the roses. She breathed easy again, the hott guy didn't ditch her! whoo!
She looked at the roses and smiled perfect for the dance. She looked at the silver one he had picked up, she smiled it looked like the perfect shaped rose. She looked as he held it out to her, She looked it and smiled "thats.. Thats amazing." she said examining it. She looked at him as he started to hand it to her. She was hesitant until he said she could keep it, there were plenty more. She smiled happily holding the rose. His name was Nathaniel Graison. she grinned. and held out her free hand "I'm Marland, Remy Marland." she said mimicking his words. like bond, james bond! She laughed. "Thank you for the rose, But will you come with me to put it in my car? Just so you know I won't leave you like the damned Dance Committee?" she asked smiling hoping he would walk with her, It would be only a few minutes, nothing they couldnt catch up to. ooc; shortttttttttttness

Nathaniel gave Remy his perfect smile that screamed “good boy”. “Remy Marland,” he said trying out the name. “I like it. It’s pretty.” Nathaniel turned away from her and went back to filling up balloons at the helium tank. He had to stay focused. Couldn’t get side tracked. If he didn’t finish everything before eight tonight when the dance was supposed to start he’d feel terrible. He quickly filled ten balloons to their full extent before grabbing a hand full of streamers and beginning to walk up the ladder again. He heard Remy ask him to go to her car with her to put the roses away. He looked down at her hesitantly from the top of the ladder. He didn’t want to leave the gymnasium. He had a lot of things to do and so little time to get it all done right. He looked down at the many blood red balloons in his hands and then back at her. Finally he nodded silently and carefully climbed back down the ladder. Nathaniel was just one of those people who couldn’t say no. To anyone. About anything. That’s the way he’s grown up. Do what your told and don’t ask any questions. Nathaniel placed the balloons safely beside the ladder and went to stand beside Remy. “I’ll come with you, Remy. But could we please hurry?”

She laughed at his 'good boy' smile and heard her name as he tried it out on his tounge and said it was pretty. "Thank you." she said smiling, She watched as he went back to the balloons and sighed as she looked up as he started up the ladder. She smiled as he looked down, and started back down the ladder, asking if they could hurry. She nodded and grinned "Yeah, it's just right outside the door." She said smiling at him. She looked at him and smiled " I Promise we will have to time to finish, Remember you aren't doing this by yourself anymore." She said looking at him thoughtfully.
She took his hand and pulled him towards the door, her strength alittle more than a human girl's would be and she made a face before she looked at him smiling innocently again. She pushed open the gym door and pulled him with her. Her car just beyond the door leading outside. She breathed easy. She pushed open the outside door and pull her keys from her pocket and the small white MG midget could be seen. She smiled, She loved her car, It was a convertable, and it was adorable. She looked so cute in it. She let go of his hand and unlocked the car door, placing the rose gently in the passener seat. She smiled as it stayed standing the way she placed it. She closed the door and locked it again "See it didn't take too long... Did it?" she asked hesitantly.

“Wow,” Nathaniel gasped as Remy pulled him out of the gym door and then out the school building. Nathaniel looked skeptically at their entwined hands for a moment then shrugged. She must be a lycanthrope, he thought. They’re very comfortable with physical contact. As Nathaniel became more aware of her strong grip on his hand he was almost positive. He examined her car as she put the rose away. He checked out the paint job and admired the fact that it seemed very well taken care of. He couldn’t help but run the back of his hand over it fondly careful not to leave finger prints and only looked up when Remy spoke. “No, it didn’t take very long at all but we should probably get back.” Nathaniel took Remy’s hand back in his not even able to remember when she had let go because he had been too busy marveling at the convertible. Nice set of wheels. He had to get away from it before he started to linger on the fact that he didn’t have a car of him own. Nathaniel pulled on Remy’s hand gently not actually trying to make her move (she was a lycanthrope and he knew if she decided she didn’t want to move he didn’t have a chance) but checking if she would follow. He gave her his irresistible smile as he gently tugged on her arm. Even he had ways of getting lycanthropes to cooperate. You develop ways of dealing with super creatures after living with them all your life.

She smiled innocently as he said wow. She grinned proud of her car, she loved her car, It was her first and she wished it would be her last. She tried hard to keep the car clean and in the best condition possible. Her car was the first thing she got herself that she was amazingly proud of.
She smiled as he took her hand again, and agreed that they should get back inside. She smiled as he tugged on her hand and she figured he knew already that she was a lycanthrope. She smiled and pulled him backwards towards her. She smiled innocently and laughed. "Come on.." she said as she began walking back to the door. She led him through the doors and back to the gym, "What do you want me to do?" she asked.

Nathaniel let out a small yelp as Remy pulled him backwards and then struggled to keep up as she raced them back into the gym. He gave a small sigh as he saw the room which wasn’t nearly completed. He walked over and picked up the balloons be had abandoned to go with Remy to her car and resumed him place back at the top of the ladder. As he started to pin them to the ceiling he looked down at her again. “Ummm……would you mind filling more balloons with helium and passing them up to me so I don’t have to keep getting down?” After asking he resumed his work trying to concentrate. He had to concentrate because while they had been out putting the rose in Remy’s car he had realized just how beautiful she was. Well, the gym wasn’t going to get finished if he let himself get distracted by a pretty girl. He had to focus and not think too much. Luckily, Nathaniel was good at focusing and being disciplined. He had to be seeing as he was a human servant and everything. He’s learned total and utter discipline a long time ago.

Post by Amele Tijek on Aug 8, 2008 16:08:26 GMT -5
Amele hummed to herself as she walked through the parking lot down to the school gymnasium. While she wasn't exactly a fan of school dances, not that she had ever been to one, but she loved to decorate and help people set things up. By word of mouth, she knew that most of the members in the Dance Committee were not planning on coming, and that whoever was here, was going to need all the help that they could get.
Stumbling over a large, dislodge rock and fell on top of a shiny white car causing a rather large scratch. Swearing to herself silently, Amele fumbled through her purse in search of the bottle of white out she always made sure to keep with her. She shook the bottle quickly, and after making sure that no one was around, swabbed the white liquid over the scratch. As long as no one looked to closely, or the car didn't get wet, then no one would ever notice. At least, by the time they did notice, they wouldn't be able to point their fingers at her.
Amele tapped the spot a few times with her finger to make sure the White Out was dry, and continued on her way to the gym. Silently opening the big door that led to gym, she peered inside and quickly processed the information. One boy who she had seem maybe a few times on campus and a girl named Remy who she had met at the lake. Blushing at the memory, Amele stepped quietly inside, but in her haste, accidentally let the door slam shut. Wincing, she gave a small smile and jogged over to the other to occupants in the room.
Smiling at the familiar blonde girl, Amele quietly muttered an hello, and then turned to the boy and said, "Hello, my name is Amele. Amele Tijek." Giving a quick survey of the room, and noticed the little that had been done, she looked back at the two and exclaimed in her thick polish accent, "I came to help, which it is obvious that you need. What would you like me to do?"
Smiling expectantly at them, her right hand unconsciously went to her engagement ring and began to turn it around on her finger nervously. Meeting new people had always been hard for her, ever since she met the Michaskis. Who knew what Andre would do when she saw her hang around other people. Kill them as well? Shuddering at the thought, Amele looked once more around the large room.

Remy smiled as Nathaniel climbed back up the ladder to hang the balloons. he asked her to fill some up she nodded "Alright." she said smiling, She grinned this boy was gorgeous. She sighed and shook her head not needing to be distracted at the time of complete focus needed. She smiled and looked at him again before looking at the balloons. She sighed and picked up a packet of them and began to fill them up with the Helium. She heard the door open and she turned to see the naked girl from the lake, Amele. She giggled at the thought and began to laugh as she filled up the balloons. She heard the girl's hello and smiled nodding back to her as she saw the girl blush.
She shook her head laughing again at how funny the meeting had actaully been. She looked up at Nathaniel and Nodded "Hey, Yeah, Can you help me fill up these balloons?" She asked handing the girl the bag of balloons, as she took the others to the ladder and began climbing to hand them to Nathaniel. She had a hand full of them, Enough for Amele to fill up just as many while she and Nathaniel hung the others.
Remy saw the ring, the same one that had blinded her, She shuddered and shook her head. She didn't even want to know what the ring was about anymore. She brushed through her hair nerveously as she hand the balloons one at a time to Nathaniel... She smiled thinking about the rose and how he had yelped when she pulled him back to her. She smiled just at the thought of it, but shook her head again and released the thought from her mind.. for the time being..
