The Food Court

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate chuckled, "Darn, you figured it out. And I'd gladly give you my attention too." He said. When they arrived at the pizza place, he ordered a slice of supreme for Neah, and a slice of pepperoni and bacon for himself. He turned to Annabelle.

"So, what pizza toppings are your favorite?" He asked.

[Jak Chase]

At that moment, Mr. "Yours Truly" came up behind the group of new friends and added his own words. "Hey. Check it out. The wicked witch of Shadow Peak's next victim is our pal the orange-haired crusader. This oughta be good." Jak had no idea who the guy was, but he had a feeling that this was gonna be juicy.

[Heather Delani]

"Szay'el.. thats an interesting name. Where are you from?" Heather asked, ignoring Szayel's body language, and leaning even closer to him, ocassionally moving her eyes from him to the tables of the food court.

[Bree Aldertree]

Bree was just passing by on her way to the table with her pizza when she heard Jak say the word "orange", and her face turned a ghostly white.

"Oo...orange? Where?" Bree asked, her voice shaking. She quickly ducked behind Jak and looked around, as if looking for a great threat. When she saw that the path to the table was clear, she quickly went for it and ducked into her chair.

[Szayel]

Szayel was getting slightly annoyed that he hadn't even tasted his smoothie yet, but it wasn't really like him to be rude to someone who wasn't rude to him. "It's a... European name." Szayel leaned back slightly after Heather's advances.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle picks up a plain old cheese piece. "I'm old fashioned, though I don't really have a favorite I like just cheese sometimes, this is one of those times." She says giggling a bit and looking at his and Neah's pieces. "Though those are both pretty good." She says then looks over when she hears Jak say something and starts to laugh a bit when she sees the redheaded vampire from last night. "Oh that poor soul..he'll put her in her place though."

[Alavda Noir]

Alavda was following Bree back to the tables, pizza in hand, when Jak came up and said something about the orange-haired guy, "Orange-haired crusader?" she looked over in the direction that everyone else was looking and saw that vampire that she saw at the night club.

She turned to Bree to say something to her, but she had vanished behind a chair, saying something about the color orange, "What's wrong with the color orange?" she asked the sorceress, not sure if Bree heard her question. Then she looked back at Heather and the vampire, interested. She had a feeling that things were about to get interesting.

[Heather Delani]

"Oo European, very classy." Heather said with a smile. She noticed that Szayel had leaned away from her and frowned for a split second ,but barely long enough for anyone to notice. She pulled a pen from her purse and took Szayel's hand into hers and turned it over, palm up.

"Here's my number Szay, darling. You should call me sometime." She said and wrote her number on his palm. She pulled his hand up to her mouth and kissed the palm right below where her number now was. She winked at him, smiled her flirty smile and walked away, flipping her blond hair behind her.

[Jak Chase]

Jak had been looking into the smoothie shop with a goofy, almost mischievious smile on his face. When Heather wrote her number on Szayel's hand and kissed it, Jak stuck his finger in his open mouth and made a gagging sound. Inside the shop, Szayel stared at his hand until after Heather left. That was when he made a shuddering motion and licked his opposite hand. He rubbed his hands together until the pen was erased. Jak was out in the food court, practically busting a gut at Szayel's reaction. He was laughing so hard, he eventually stopped making noise, unable to inhale for more air.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle turns around just to see the redhead get something off his hand. "Hm? What happened?" She says looking up at Nate. "I'm gonna guess it has something to do with Heather..." she says slightly tilting her head like a confused puppy.

[Bree Aldertree]

Bree came back to stand beside Jak and looked at him for a moment. She had missed the whole scene between Heather and Szayel so she didn't know what was going on. She thought that Jak may have been choking.

"Beanie! Are you okay?" She asked, and started hitting Jak on the back.

[Alavda Noir]

Alavda just sat there, wondering what the heck was going on. She saw that Heather wrote something on the orange-haired guy's hand, and saw him "erase" it.

"Yeah, are you alright? You're turning blue."

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate had been watching ever since Jak had took his attention to where Heather and Szayel were standing. He couldn't keep the grin off of his face as he watched the vampire's reaction to whatever Heather had written on his hand.

"Apparently Heather got turned down again." Nate answered Annabelle, looking down at her and smiling, "nothing really worth worrying your pretty head over though." He said.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle blushed when she heard Nate put her and pretty in the same sentence, and looked away. "I don't see it.." she says trying to cover her face in her hair. "Anyways, as I said to you earlier I will you my attention." She says, now some of her hair in front of her eyes. "So do you still want to sit by the group or do you think they would be too distracting?" she says with a giggle.

[Jak Chase]

Jak was lnow lying on the floor from Bree hitting him, but he was still cracking up like glass. "I-I-I ca- I can't- BREATHE!" Jak was screaming from laughing so hard. It was now clearly audible that he was laughing really hard. He was gasping for air in great gulps and rolling all over teh floor. "It hurts, it hurrrts.... *GASP*" Jak couldn't seem to stop laughing.
