The Start of a New Day..Very Early Day...

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle slowly woke up. She looked around and forgot how she got to her bed, which was understandable seeing as the last thing she remembered from last night was waiting for Ala to get out of the nightclub.

She sat up and stretched and walked across the hall to see how bad she looked this morning. She walked in and turned the light on and saw that her hair on one side had flattened completely and the other kinda poofed. She laughed and with that decided it was best to clean up.

After showering and getting into different blue dress, this one was a spaghetti strap one with no lace, but was sky blue. She walked into the guest room to see Ala, still asleep. This wasn't gonna do. The day was still young but there was so much to do and see with such little time. She took a deep breath then walked over to the side of the bed Ala was sleeping on.

"Wake up Alavda!" she shouts then bounces onto the bed. "We have things to do! Come on!"

[Alavda Noir]

Alavda was dreaming of the good days of her childhood before she heard Annabelles voice. She groaned, "Don't you know that Vampires are nocturnal?" she slowly opened her eyes to see an already dressed Belle.
Slowly sitting up to reveal a high-necked, lacy nightgown (which was very flattering on her), she turned to the sorceress, "Why are you up so early? Why, the sun isn't even up...oh," she had looked outside and saw that the sun had, indeed risen -though there was still some pinks and purples in the sky.

[Annabelle Ventus]

"I'm up because I couldn't sleep anymore silly." She says with a chuckle. "The real reason I'm up though is because I wanted to see more of the town..maybe go check out that mall, see that cove that Bree was talking about..find that church..I want to do all of this." she says saying the last bit to herself then gives Ala a huge grin. "I was at least hoping you would want to go to the mall with me..we can always look for new clothes." She said hoping that Ala would like the idea of clothes shopping.

[Alavda Noir]

"Clothes shopping..." Alavda remembered the days when someone would cutom-make her clothes. Of course, she had more than three hundred years to adapt to the rather strange ways of the twenty-first century, "That sounds good I guess." It had been a while since she'd gone clothes shopping, "But why now?"

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle smiled at her. "Well seeing as you just got here you probably don't have many clothes...plus maybe we might run into our friends again." She says with a smile. "And who knows..maybe we will see some new people as well..so are you gonna get ready?" She askes getting off Ala's bed.

[Alavda Noir]

Alavda wiped some of the sleep out of her eyes before answering Belle, "I guess I have no choice."

She pushed back the covers and climbed out of the soft bed. Before she did anything else, she pulled the covers so that the bed was made again, "Belle, I just want to thank you again for letting me stay with you." She picked out some clothes from a travel bag that she had and made her way to the bathroom, "I'll be out in a few minutes."

[Annabelle Ventus]

"Alright, I'll wait" She says walking to go lay on the couch as she waits. When she lays on the couch, she crosses her legs and then starts to think about all that she really wanted to do today and if this would all go as she had planned. She guessed it all depended on who she ran into.

[Alavda Noir]

A few minutes passed before Alavda emerged from the bathroom. She walked into Belle's living room clad in her usual attire of a black and white dress that is laced up in the back, brushing her hair, "I'm almost ready...so," she thought that she should make some conversation, "I noticed that that Nate guy seemed to really like you. What do you think of him? If you don't want to answer, I understand."

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle snapped out of her daydream when she heard Ala talking, and she blushed when Nate's name was added into the equation. "Oh him..he's..well..most guys I don't trust for the life of me or they would look at me..say I was too weird or too hyper and run away..but he..he stayed..and you really think he liked me?" She said blushing more and smiled. She didn't see it, but everyone kept saying that to her. She really wanted to know how and why they knew this.

[Alavda Noir]

Alavda smiled at how fast Belle was speaking, "I think he does like you. It's just the way he reacts to you. But, most guys would react that way to a pretty girl. What I find curious though is...why would they run away from you? I find your personality very fresh and pleasant. I actually knew a girl in my childhood that was a lot like you."

She put the brush away, "If you want advice on men, I feel like I know you well enough that I can give you advice...although I grew up when it was a young lady's job to catch a husband before she was twenty...then again, my advice would be great if that was your aim," she laughed, "But really, I can give some modern advice."

[Annabelle Ventus]

"Me? Pretty? Eh, you, Neah and Bree are much prettier then me and if you want to give me advice I don't mind. Oh and the reason they run away is because...well...I get on there nerves I guess..you don't think I'll do that with him do you?!" She says then had a question pop up in her head. "Do you think he knows I like him...?" she asks with her blush returning.

[Alavda Noir]

"Yes, you're pretty. Any man or woman who says that must have something wrong with their eyes. Trust me, Belle, the one's who run away aren't worth it," she found it strange that this girl didn't think that she was that pretty, "And you are too as pretty as Neah, Bree, me, and any other girl for that matter...well, not that red-headed THING...I don't think you want to strive to look like her...him...it..."

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle smiled "Thank you for your kind words" she said then slightly frowned because she was afraid of what Ala was gonna say to her questions.

[Alavda Noir]

"You're welcome. And as for you scaring him off...I don't think you will. I didn't know those other guys...at least, I don't think I ever did...but I think that if they run off because of that, they're not worth thinking about. And as for Nate knowing that you like him...I don't know. I haven't known him long enough. But I do know this: men are very dense when it comes to romance and feelings. So give it time if you want to pursue it. Don't be in any hurry." She looked at a clock, "So, should we get going?"

[Annabelle Ventus]

"Oh I'm not in any hurry...I just want to know he won't leave like the rest.." she says kind embarrased to say such a thing then looks at the clock as well. "Oh yes we should." She says then walks towards the door and opens it. "After you Ala." She says with a smile the remembers something she was going to ask her to do. "Hey Ala...do you mind sometime..teaching me how to dance?"
