After the drive to the resort (Lyra let Ethan drive. She could not drive in those heels but damn did she look good with them) and the difficult walk inside and to the ballroom, Lyra and Ethan entered the ballroom. It was nicely decorated and people were now entering. Some wore casual clothes, some were over dressed, and some had the right dress code. "Do you think my dress is too much, or not enough?" Lyra looked up at Ethan. Now she needed his approval, after all, she was going with him. Her fingers brushed down the dress that hugged her body. A light tremble, she grabbed on to Ethan's shoulder for balance and laughed lightly, "I'm still trying to get used to these heels," Lyra said to Ethan. "The birthday girl must be busy," she said. Tari was a popular girl, maybe more popular on the regular Oceanside High, so maybe more people from that school would be here than the academy kids.[data]http://media.onsugar.com/files/cm2/536/5368933/42_2009/764e8285cda49342_yomszo27ol672oom.jpg dat dress. |

Ethan looked at Lyra, his eyes almost popping out of his skull when he saw her. "O-oh wow. Uhm. It.. It looks great!" he said, trying to keep his cheeks from going red. "I now suddenly feel not dressed enough for this, or like a loser, either one." Ethan laughed as he straightened out his tie. He helped Lyra out of the car, steadying her while she worse those crazy heels. "You may be right there, Lyra," he agreed to Lyra's comment about Tari being popular. He still couldn't get over how great Lyra looked tonight. |

"Are you kidding me?" Lyra was shocked at Ethan. He looked great! She was pretty sure that Ethan knew he was snazzy looking. "You look great Ethan," Lyra patted him on the shoulder. Lyra froze, her eyes widen and she looked up at Ethan. "Birthday present!" she gasped. Her hands started to flail around, "go go go! Draw something!" she said in a hushed voice. She covered her mouth, "free present! Draw, Colonel! Draw!" they couldn't show up empty-handed.

Ethan looked at her, mouth agape. "We don't have a present?!" he whispered to her in panic. He ran back to the car quickly and then came back with his sketchbook. "Oh my god, I don't know what she likes!" he said fumbling around with his pen and paper. "What should I draw?! What if she doesn't like it?!" he was freaking out. Yup, definitely freaking out.

"Drugs! Beer! I don't know!" Lyra started to panic. But then she remembered last night. About Tobias. How she turned him down. How she broke his heart. "You know, she's rich. She probably has everything," Lyra put a hand on Ethan's sketchbook, not to take it away, but to try and stop him from drawing anything. "Why bother?" Lyra shrugged a shoulder.

Ethan just gave Lyra a very confused look. "Uhm... are you sure?" he put his pen down though, "It's not really a good idea to ever go to a party without a present for the birthday girl." He scratched the back of his head and sighed, "Well.. if you say so. If you change your mind I can draw up a quick necklace or something." He wasn't really sure where to put the sketchbook now, and didn't feel like putting it all the way back to the car. Guess I'll just hold it.. he said, clutching onto it feebly.

Tabatha walked into the hotel with her balck, short dress on. She was wearing earrings to go along. She honestly didn't even know the Birthday person, someone had just invited her. She also heard is was going to be cool. Luv quickly spot 2 people, She didn't know at all. She stared at them for a few seconds Then stood by the door, waiting for someone to actually speak to her. She hoped people would like her. Or atleast give her a try.[data]http://www.basicallyblack.com/uploads/products/zoomed/SS09Sam_Kiki.jpg

Lyra shrugged, "she might have plenty of presents. She may not even notice us," Lyra said. They now reached the ballroom entrance. There was a girl by the door. Maybe she was waiting for someone. The door was propped open and Lyra walked in with Ethan. Music booming and people on the dance floor, infected by the sound.

Tari walked in, after cussing out the damn hair stylist lady, I mean 3 hours to curl her hair? Ridculous, she shook her head and opened the doors into the hall, plastering a smile onto her face.

Cal had finally decided to swing by a store and pick up a card since she knew nothing about Tari besides her looks. She stuffed some money into it and wrote something along the lines of Hey, cool party babe. Have a good birthday - sorry for crashing, hahaha. It was in an envelope and once she spotted the birthday gal she'd give it to her but until then, she hung around the edges of the hall all dolled up in her yellow dress with her clutch purse in hand along with the plain envelope labeled "Birthday Babe." |

Sam entered the room, and looked around. Spotting Tari, she waved and walked over. "Happy Birthday, Tari.", she said, smiling. "And sorry I didn't bring a present. I was in a rush to get ready."

Luv quickly spotted Tari. She immediately knew she was the birthday girl. She walked up to her and said "Hey!" She gave her a huge smile and hugged her. "Happy birthday." She giggled. "You don't know me, My name Luv. Nice to meet you." She let go of Tari and smiled.

Ethan freaked out and hid his sketchbook behind his back as he saw Tari walk in. "O-oh, hey Tari!" he smiled awkwardly and waved. He walked over and gave her a one-armed hug. "How's it going? You look great by the way!" he said smiling, "Happy birthday!"

Lyra followed at Ethan's side. She promised to Tobias that she would be good, and good she would be. "Happy birthday Tari," Lyra tried her best to smile. She wasn't going to do the fake-smile BS. "I'm going to get something to drink, or get a table," Lyra said to Ethan as she motioned her head to a table that was empty. She' put her clutch down at that table.

Cal sat herself at a table near the dance floor with her clutch next to her drink as well as the envelope. She had her legs crossed politely and was tapping her fingertips to the beat of the current song, hand reaching over to grasp her glass, toast to being alive quietly, then brought it to her lips to drink. It seemed that she was early for wanting to be fashionably late.
