Melrose blushed. It'd be awesome if she went? What entirely was that supposed to mean? Most likely in a friendly manner. Like, "It'd be awesome to have someone I know there" or "It'd be awesome to hang out this weekend. As a friend."
Yeah, that's probably what he meant.
"Well it'd be awesome if you came to." Melrose returned politely, "I hope your not working. You know how much I love hanging out with you, champ." She poked him playfully in the stomach. Aaron literally had abs of steal. Definitely not surprising though, I mean, he has super strength. Aaron is Superman. At least in Melrose's eyes. He'd always be Superman there.

Aaron lightly laughed when Mel punched him in the stomach. She was so adorable. "Thanks, I appreciate that," Aaron said to Melrose. "You know how much I love hanging out with you..." Aaron tried to search for a word to call her, "...champ," hey, it was the best he could do in that millisecond of thought. He playfully punched Mel on the shoulder, but nothing incredibly hard. "I'm sure I don't work, I don't recall seeing my name on the schedule," Aaron said to Mel. Now he really wanted to go to the party, especially since she was going.

Lia shook Art's outstretched hand, a small smile on her face. She doesn't seem that bad, she thought. "Yeah this is my hall." Lia responded, "And as to what I can do... Well, I can basically turn myself into a human tank. Minus the shooting capabilities. What about you?" Lia directed the last part at Artemis and Derek; she was curious about their powers.

"A human tank?' She smiled. "Sweet" She nodded as the sideds of her lips turned up in a smirk. "So sort of bend metal or something...awesome"She smiled."Crap my ring I forgot it again" She said as she remembered her powers. She really didnt respond...Artemis liked showing her powers rather then just describing them.

Derek was surprised at Lia's power, something so tough versus what seemed to be a soft face.
"Energy manipulation, or manifestation if you will. I can create energy, but I'm not exactly sure how", he explained as he raised his hand and let sparks dance across his palm.

Melrose couldn't help but laugh at Aaron's loss for words and eventual mimicking of her own.
Her face warmed again. She felt this odd urge to ask him to go with her. To the party. Him and her together. As friends? Yeah? But Melrose stopped herself. Wasn't it usually the guy's job to do the asking? No, not necessarily. That's ridiculous in fact. If Melrose wanted to ask Aaron, she could ask him.
"Well if you do go, you want to come with me?" Melrose utterly surprised herself with her new found courage. Her face temperature rose increasingly by the second. She felt nervous. What if Aaron rejected her?
But what if he said yes?
Or maybe she was taking this all too seriously.

"Ring?" Lia asked Artemis, not really sure if she would get an answer to that. She noticed how Art didn't explain her powers, but she shrugged it off. Perhaps she has some sort of embarassing power, like acid spit or something, Lia thought. The mental image that followed caused her to smile a bit.
Then Derek responded with his powers. Lia watched as he made the sparks. "Wow," was the only thing she could think to say. She hadn't seen any powers other than her own, and was amazed by how different they could be.

"A human tank? Cool. Mine are not that awesome: time, air, and water manipulation", she stated them.

Ah, her laugh. It warmed Aaron's heart. It made him feel good, knowing he could make her laugh. Aaron was caught off guard, in that second, no, not in that second, but just a few seconds later... did Melrose just ask him to the party? As friends? Or as a couple? It wasn't a dance, but the party was semi-formal and at a resort... so maybe as a date? Aaron was in a state of euphoria. A grin from ear-to-ear, he had nothing to say. He couldn't speak. The friend/date situation didn't cross his mind. Aaron had to calm down- all this in time to respond with out looking like a fool, mind you- and Aaron's smile closed and he nodded. "Yeah," his voice squeaked, trying to remain calm but he could not contain his excitement. "That sounds fun." His heart was beating. Crap. He made a fool out of himself. Real cool Aaron. Nice voice.

Artemis looked up to Lia. "Oh its um..just really really important to me"S he said making a face. "Someone wanna help look for it?" she asked knowing no one would say yes...she sort of shrugged it off. "Well my power isnt anything special..I mean..I can manipulate fire" She snapped her hands as she large spark came and englufed her hand...due to her not having her ring her powers were a bit uncontrollable. "Air" SHe said closing her hand and raising her other one making the air thick and hard to breath for a few seconds. "And last earth"S he said looking around thinking what to do. "Well Ill save that one for later"She said.

Derek was slightly startled at the large flame Artemis conjured, but guessed it wasn't surprising considering the fire he dealt with yesterday. Looking back at Lia, he noticed she was visibly surprised at the power demonstration.
"I guess you didn't see other people with powers that often before you came here, did you?"

Melrose gave a reassuring smile back to her speechless friend. He seemed totally caught off guard by the asking. Perhaps it was a bad idea. She almost regretted asking him if he was that uncomfortable with it. Maybe Aaron didn't like her that way. Maybe she was getting her hopes up about him. But there she goes again with the negative thoughts. I mean, Aaron was smiling, right? Though maybe it was an awkward kind of smile. As if he didn't know what else to do. Oh please, it's too late anyway.
"Great." she choked out, not entirely sure how to react in the situation.

Aaron nodded, "yeah, great," his voice remained happy, still thrilled that Mel asked him. It was cool that she asked him. It took a lot of pressure off his shoulders, that's for sure. But wait! This wasn't a date or anything was it? Gah. It was just a party. Not home coming or anything. Okay Aaron... don't think about it too hard. It's something casual, not dinner.
"How's-" No, no topic change. Don't be a weenie, Murphy. "The party will be fun," Aaron said. Yeah, talk about the party more. Hype it up, make her excited for the dance. "It will be fun with you."

"Well, it'll be definitely fun with you too." Melrose nodded, trying to stay as positive as possible.
She couldn't help but realize how attractive Aaron really was. I mean, he had always been a good looking guy. However, all of a sudden, he just looked a tad bit better. If that made absolutely any sense. Could it be the common room florescent lighting? Highly, doubtful. Yet possible.
She wanted to say something. Something witty or sweet. To make him laugh. To make him happy. She just wanted to please Aaron. Melrose had absolutely no idea where this was all coming from. It was frightening to say the least, yet riveting all at the same time.

Lia nodded as the other girls explained their powers. They all sounded so different and powerful. She watched Art's power demonstration and was amazed; the girl could alter the room's air with just a flick of her hand. Lia looked over to Derek when she heard him. "Yeah, this is my first time seeing different powers actually. Nobody I knew before coming here had powers." She said, a bit embarrassed that it was easy to tell she'd never seen other powers before.
