ooc: I agree, that would be easier because it seems like a bunch of us are at a bit of a lock lol or even maybe making it after school...

OOC: Cool.

The day seems to drag on and on. When the bell rings for the final time signifying the end of the day I literally do a discreet happy dance which I think Michael catches out of the corner of his eye because he lets out a soft chuckle. "Let's get out of here!" I exclaim relieved that the torture known as high school has ended for at least another sixteen hours. Gathering up my books I make it to my locker in record time and am ready to depart in less than that.

Okay, so I' m a bit anxious to get to Michael's apartment so we can have some deep and meaningful conversation. Those who know us well can go ahead and translate that for you as hot and sweaty pawing of each other. Everybody's got to have a hobby and mine is seducing Spaceboy as often as I can using as many different ways as i can conjure up ,and let me just say I have a creative mind. Still I know how to focus on important topics at hand so once we reach the parking lot I take Michael's hand in mine.

"Is it bad?" I inquire unable to shake the unsettling feeling in my stomach. Michael raises a quzical eyebrow so I embellish. "Your weird flashy thingy. Is it like end of the world apocolyptic bad or just I'm getting an F on my midterm in Shop class bad?" I need to know what we are up against.

(ooc: Sorry I've been ill....
I totally agree this needs to move on...um...

I'm at a bit of a loss where to move it too however....

How about that evening? Either people can be in there rooms or out...or the Crash Which is where I will be taking Clark...

Unless anyone has a better idea?)

Sounds good to me.

~~~~~CLARK~~~~~
So here I am. The "Crashdown Cafe". And I have to say... to me... it doesn't look like all its cracked up to be. Of course thats because I haven't seen anyone I recognise yet but... you know... after some researching by Nasedo, he's told me that Max's girlfriend works here along with the other female human and Rath....Michael....whatever.

I freaked Rath out earlier. I know it. But he will see in time. He is to be with Vilandra, and I will Zan... and no one shall stop me. I will speak to my love tonight. And I will show him how it is meant to be. He will leave the human for me as it is written. I am his beloved his... well... supposedly his "Queen" but you know... I don't see what everyone has with this fasination of genders. Gender inequalities and all that. How for every male there is a female etc...

What rubbish. Besides, earth has more males than females. So there. I'm following what is written in destiny...what is meant to be.

I sit down at a booth and pick up a menu. I immediately raise an eyebrow at the titles. What on earth is a "Alien Blast?" and "Men in Black Berry Pie"? Ohh...they have named everything alien... ha ha...
Not.

Where is Zan. Today he will speak to me. I can not delay. And if he doesn't move fast... well... Venus is in the right place for the dreams anyway.... Rath, Vilandra and Zan will get the dreams... But Zan... well Zan will get more of my attention. I shall awaken him. And boy will I....

I put down the menu deciding to just go with some onion rings and a cherry coke and wait for one of the waitresses to appear. Maybe there in the back? I see a old woman waitress tottering around with an "Agnus" badge... but saying that she appears to be going outside for what I'm guessing will be her break.

I drum my fingers as I wait for some action.

“Oh crap. No, no, please God, no. Don’t sit in my section. Don’t sit in my section.” I murmur under my breath when I see the new kid from school walk into the Crashdown. A small groan escape my lips when, of course, he sits in one of my booths.

“Angus, can you please serve that guy that just sat down.” I plead.

“I’m going on my break.” She says, shaking her head before walking away without another word.

Crap. Crap. Crap.

I walk over to his booth as slowly as possible.

“Good afternoon and welcome to The Crashdown. I’ll be your waitress today. What can I get you?” I ask, keeping my eyes glued to the notebook in my hand.

(ooc: Ruby I hope this works for you, just thought it would make a interesting dynamic )

~~~~~CLARK~~~~~
Its then I pick up with my super hearing a whispering in the back. I recognise the voice... Zan's girlfriend. The one Kyle thinks I'm digging. I quickly tune into her voice.

“Angus, can you please serve that guy that just sat down.”

Interesting... she doesn't want to speak to me... now why would that be I wonder? I can't help but let a smile play at my lips. I must make her nervous... and that I can use to my advantage. I quickly use my mind warp to enter Angus's mind.

“I’m going on my break" I make her say a few moments later. Quickly I exit her mind once more and grin. Perfect. I quickly make my face neutral once more as I hear her move to open the door. I keep looking at my menu until she's almost at my table. I look up and smile at her.

“Good afternoon and welcome to The Crashdown. I’ll be your waitress today. What can I get you?”

Her eyes are glued to her pad. Well....we'll see about that.

"Uh hi" I say, still smiling pleasantly at her. I look back down at the menu and reply, "I will have.... some onion rings and.... "I look up at her, smiling again, "And a cherry coke" I tell her. "Thanks..." I look at her name tag. "Liz."

I look at her enquiringly for a minute. "Oh now I know where I know you from... from school right? Kyle was trying to fill me in at lunch....Max's girlfriend right?" I smile and say, "He told me lots of interesting things." I say with a small nod.

Oh yes, its working... I can tell this is going to freak her out. "Kyle says your a very nice person." I bite my lip for a moment before saying, "Uh listen.... since you know everyone around here...I was wondering if you could help me. I kinda need to catch up in a few classes... you wouldn't know anyone who could help me do you?" I ask, wondering what she'll say to that.

*Max*

I didn't see Michael after school today. I wonder what he's up to? I hope I didn't just miss him somewhere and he's still waiting around for a ride. Maybe he's already at the Crashdown working today. I should keep better track of his schedule. Since he got emancipated, I'm as likely to find him here as I am to find Liz.

With a shrug, I shut off the engine and hop out of the jeep and head towards the door. My mind keeps drifting towards the new students. Tia and Clark. They seem normal enough and I don't want to be paranoid but after Tolpolsky, it just seems like a good idea to be careful.

As I open the door, I'm surprised to see Clark there already. I remember inviting Tia to come by but I don't see her. I bet Isabel told him about this place. I guess it's time for me to go make nice and apologize for being so rude at lunch time.

"Hey," I say softly, giving Liz a smile and a nod as I enter the building. It looks like she's taking Clark's order. I move closer to the two of them and ask, "Mind if I sit here?"

Only after I say it do I realize that it's almost exactly the same question that he'd asked me before I'd shoved him off. In that instant, I wonder if he'll retaliate by doing the same, but I hope that Isabel has made some inroads for me.

~~~~~MAX~~~~~
I hear a bell tinkle and I can't help but look up... and see Zan come towards Liz. He will be mine... I will do whatevers necessary to get him. WHATEVER's necessary.

"Hey,"
He gives Liz a soft smile as he comes in. Huh... he has real feelings for her? Oh well...that will change when he gets to the know the wonderful me. You wait.... Zan will remember, and he will love me. He walks towards us and I keep my face neutral, wondering what he's going to do.

"Mind if I sit here?"
The same question I asked him this morning... the one he pretty much replied, "Get lost" to me. If it hadn't been for Kyle this morning I would have been alone all lunch. Part of me wants to do the same thing, and maybe I should be... but its Zan. He is mine and I am meant for him. Besides... I want some alone time with Max here...and I can always say that Isabel apologised for him earlier.

"Sure" I say softly, portraying a look of surprise as I indicate to the seat opposite me. "And your....Max right? Isabel's brother?" I say flicking my eyes to Liz quickly but then deciding I will now focus on Zan. We shall have a little conversation...before I warp him.

LIZ

"Uh hi I will have.... some onion rings and....and a cherry coke. Thanks..." He pauses, "Liz."

Oh my God, he knows my name. How does he know my name? He’s a evil mind reading alien. Oh my God! Oh my…wait. I’m such a paranoid dumbass. Hello, I am wearing a name tag. He probably can’t mind read. He’s probably just a evil alien.

I scribble down his order and I’m just about to make my escape when he opens his mouth again. I look at him, trying to keep the horrified expression off of my face.

"Oh now I know where I know you from... from school right? Kyle was trying to fill me in at lunch....Max's girlfriend right?" He smiles politely. “He told me lots of interesting things”

His smile makes me nervous. Wasn’t it just a couple of hours ago that he was sending me death glares. I wonder what exactly Kyle told him. Was it something about our previous relationship or was it something to do with Max and the others. I know that Kyle has been getting more and more suspicious.

"Uh listen.... since you know everyone around here...I was wondering if you could help me. I kinda need to catch up in a few classes... you wouldn't know anyone who could help me do you?"

“Oh. Um, I’m not sure.” I mumble, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

“Hey,” Max says, joining us. I smile in relief. Thank God for Max. He’s gone and saved my life again. "Mind if I sit here?"

"Sure" Clark smiles.

“I better get back to work. Can I get you anything, Max?”
