Lady In Red: The High School Dance To Remember...

[Ravenloft]

Dain:

"Ah! Now I remember..." Dain said as he got to one knee and looked up at Bri. "Briannah Leigh, will you marry me?" Dain said, acomplishing a look of seriousness and love. He held out the velvet box and saw how it had been scuffed up. Delicately he brushed along the top of the box then opened it up.

 

[Countess DeWinter]

OOC: Oh my god!!! That was so beautiful!! Quick, someone hand me a tissue. I'm gonna cry. Brava!! Brava!!!

 

[Guest]

"Briannah Leigh, will you marry me?"

Briannah finally lost the wells that hung over her eyes. She smiled lovingly down at Dain as she cried. The ring sparkled, though the light in the gym was low. It was a beautiful heart shaped emerald (diamond starburst cut to catch the light off of many angles), with small diamonds running the parameter of it.

"It is so beautiful!" she barely managed to say. Dain looked at her with pleading eyes...waiting for her reply.
"Yes!" she finally said. "A thousand times yes! Dain, I love you!"

With that, Dain got back up so he could hug Briannah. "I love you too Bri!" He glanced over at DJ McPooh and kind of winked at him. That was the singnal for the DJ to start playing Journey's '82 hit Open Arms. "I would be so honored if you would give me the pleasure of dancing with the most beautiful girl here," he added, extending his hand out to her.

After getting the ring on her finger, Briannah slipped her hand into his. She followed him to the center of the room where they locked arms into one another. She placed her head on his shoulders as he guided them slowly through the music.


~Lying beside you, here in the dark...feeling your heart with mine. Softly you whisper, you're so sincere...how could our love be so blind?~ (Journey)

 

[Ravenloft]

Dain:

Resting his head on her shoulder as well Dain whispered. "Softly, you whisper, you're so sencere..." Two second later the song reaches that point. He turns his face and presses his lips against Bri's neck, kissing her, he lifts his head and takes a deep breath, the song always had given him an emotional responce but now, with Bri here in his arms, it seemed to take his breath away.

McPooh wondered why the guy wanted this song. It must have been important, he didn't ask though. The fifty in his pocket did all the talking he needed.
He stepped to the right, nodding his head, and he heard a huge crack.
HE looked down, it was the cd he had broke. He frowned, and reached down to get it.
"I am sorry about that," a voice said.
McPooh looked up, picking the last of it up, "Oh it's nothing at all. I have another copy... although she didn't sign that one?"
"You mean Madonna signed it?"
McPooh shrugged his shoulders as he put it in the trash, "It's no problem."
She looked like she was about to cry, "I am really sorry."
McPooh glanced around, this was getting uncomfortable, "Listen, miss, it's ok, really. I told you I got another co...."
He only wanted to pat her on the back, but when he did she leaned on his shoulder, and he couldn't help but hug her. Her sobbing came threw his jacket. He patted her on the back, and told her it was all right.
"It's just a cd, come on."
She had finally regained some compulsure, and stepped back, "Thank you, I really needed that."
McPooh shrugged his shoulders, "This is your prom," he said, winking at her, "Look at those guys, they are all dying to get a shot at you. Now you go and have some fun. Ok..."
She wanted to say something, but he put his finger up to her lips, "No... you want to repay me for the cd, you go and sance with soemone, right now. Ok?"
She smiled, and turned around, walking away. She really was beautiful, he couldn't help but....
McPooh shook his head fiercefully, he couldn't think about that, he just couldn't. She was barely 18 for christ's sake. McPooh grabbed another cd, and got ready for the song to end.
He would need a cold shower after this dance.

As Tammy removed her shawl and stood up, her hand in mine, I just looked at her, unable and unwilling to avert my gaze. Her mother had once told me that her name literally meant perfection, and never was a name more deserving.

I could see she was a little self conscious about her incredible dress, and I held her close, so that her charms were for my eyes only. As we danced together, wrapped in the warmth of each other's bodies, I listened to her soft low breathing, and the quiet beating of her heart.

As the song began to wind down, I felt a moment of nervousness again. Thanks to a brief detour while collecting punch for us earlier, I'd known the order of the last few songs, and I knew one of her favourites was coming up next. I ran through my head one last time the words that I'd rehearsed for an hour in front of the mirror before I'd left.

When the music stopped I took her hand in mine and raised it to my lips, gently kissing her soft skin as I looked into her sparkling blue eyes. I placed her palm against my chest, directly over my heart, allowing her to feel the beating that was like thunder to my ears. My gaze never leaving hers, I began to speak, my voice low but full of conviction.

I hear my heart's song, oh so clear
it sings to me when you are near
I feel your touch upon my soul
only with you do I feel whole
for, every moment, every day
my love, you take my breath away...

As I spoke the final word, with perfect timing the song began, and I smiled...

 

[Countess DeWinter]

Tammy

I let the music and John's arms sweep me away. I forgot all about my dress, the test next week in Trig, even that fight I had with my mother earlier in the day. All that mattered was John.
When he spoke, I didn't recognize the words at first, but when I heard the first strains of my favorite song, I smiled that smile that was only for him. I didn't think there could be a more thoughtful man in the universe.

And to think, it was a mere stroke of fate that we'd even met! My best friend, Marilyn, wanted me to go to a party with her because a guy she liked was going to be there. She was always after some new guy! So, despite canceling out on her the day before, she came over and dragged me along with her.
It was one of those typical beer parties where everyone was drinking and acting like idiots. Marilyn had hooked up with her guy and acted like I wasn't even there. I took my one beer out to the back yard for some fresh air. While I was sitting on a bench absorbed in my thoughts, someone asked me if he could sit down. I looked up and there was John. We talked for a while and the more we talked the more I found I liked. He asked me for my number and I gave it to him and the next night, he called to ask me out. That was almost a year ago.
Looking up at him, I was glad Marilyn had drug me to that party. While the song played, I snuggled my head against his shoulder and hoped that this night would never end.

Danielle walked away from the DJ stand and she had a small grin on her face. She still felt bad but his words had helped her feel a little better. She thought of his gentle ways and how good he smelled when she had hugged him. The smell of Cool Water cologne had lingered and some of it had gotten onto Danielle's dress. "Why can't I ever meet nice guys like that?" Danielle asked herself. She didn't know if she was just desperate for attention or what but she couldn't keep her mind off of him. "Those eyes, that hair" she thought to herself...

She was walking around in a lovesick state when she was approached by another young man. "Would you like to dance, Danni?" asked the gentleman. Danielle thought of the DJ's words and told herself that he had told her to have fun and dance so she graciously accepted. They danced to a slow song but Danielle couldn't take her eyes off the DJ. After the slow dance Danni thanked the man for the dance and excused herself.

She looked around for Briannah but when she didn't see her in the crowd she remembered something else. "Oh my, he must think I'm extremely rude." Danielle's thoughts told her. "I didn't even introduce myself properly to him." She was trying to think of any reason to go back up to the DJ and talk to him. She made her way across the dance floor, her dress keeping her from walking as fast as she'd have liked. She finally made it back up to him, he had his back turned. Danielle mustered up all the courage she had and said "Oh, by the way, I'm Danielle."

Just as Journey was ending, Sherrif's When I'm With You started playing. Dain lifted his head from Briannah's shoulder as they danced. Softly, he started singing along to the song, "I never needed love like I need you. And I never lived for nobody, but I live for you. Oooo baby, lost in love is what I feel...when I'm with you."

"I love you," Briannah whispered along Dain's ear as he continued to serenade her. She held to him tightly as they danced gracefully along the gym. She felt as though they were the only two there...as though the world revolved around them and them alone.

After their second song together had stopped and an upbeat dance one came on, the couple headed for the doors to the gym. They made their way through a strem of bodies that had filled the halls. Once in the cafeteria, Dain set off to fetch a couple glasses of punch. Briannah could still here Let's Hear It For The Boy playing from the gym...

 

[poohlive]

McPooh rolled his eyes. She was coming back. He did want her to come back, but this was wrong, he knew there was something wrong about this.
"Danielle?" he said, holding out his hand, "My name's McPooh."
She giggled, "A funny name."
McPooh smiled, "It's Bob (I ain't using no weird name, lol)"
"Oh, hello Bob."
"It's a pleasure."
McPooh reached down, and picked up a case of cd's. He started folding through them.
"So, how long have you done this?"
He looked up at her. There was something in her eyes. McPooh looked down again. No, not again. This wasn't happening again.
"A few years, it helps me through college," he said sorting the cd's. He put a few aside, setting them all up for later on that night.
"Yeah, where are you going to school?"
" (fill in name of your state here) State College."
"I thought about going there?"
McPooh put the set back down. He quickly changed the cd. There were too many slow songs, he needed to spice something up. He put in Styx, and Come Sail Away came on. A beautiful song.
McPooh put his and through his hair. He could feel sweat on his palm. Why was he so nervous? He took a big gulp of his water.
"What are you studying?"
He looked at her, confused, "What? Oh.. college, right. I am studying to become an actor."
She looked at him, "Really? Going to be famous some day?"
McPooh shrugged his shoulders, "I guess so. Maybe."
He started the song, and took another big drink of water. He was really nervous now.

i cant believe i couldnt find a date for the prom and now everyone will see me alone and laugh at me.I never got to tell Danielle my feelings for her and now i never wil.She is probably dancing and haveing fun with her b/f.

As i step inside i see the worst her boyfriend with a different girl.God if i could get my hands on him id rip him apart but then i see her being conforted by her friend Briannah and relieve that might make her feel worse.
God ive been in love with her since my our sophmore year and she never picked up on those feelings.

It breaks my heart to see her alone so i decide to do a brave thing go see if she would like to talk with me maybe ask her to dance......

 

[sex-maniac69]

David


I lost my chance she excepted an offer from a nother guy whom i dont know i go sit in seats and place my hands over my face and softly weep because i dont want anyone to see me like this......

 

[Ezzie]

"Are you okay, Bob?" Danielle asked. She could see he was nervous and he was sweating a bit. "I just thought I'd come introduce myself but I'll be on my way now. I can see that you're busy." And with that, Danielle turned around and walked away before McPooh could get a word in edge wise.

She just wanted to go home. She felt like an idiot. "Poor guy" Danni thought to herself. "He must be the shy type and I've gone and scared him." She told herself that he must not be used to strong women and with that she decided that if he wanted to talk to her then that would be up to him.

Danni wanted to find Briannah and tell her that she was thinking about heading home and then she ran into David. "Oh, Hi David." Danielle said. He was dressed in a nice tux with a beautiful rose bud on his lapel. "You look very nice." she said with a little squeak in her voice. "Thank you." David said with a smile. "Where's your date?" Danni asked with a puzzled look on her face. David just shrugged his shoulders and his head dropped. "Ah, I see... you're here alone too." After that, Danielle just looked and him and awaited a response.

Dain:

Looking out the large cafiteria windows as he poured two glasses of punch, Dain saw movement out in the parking lot, Someone was poking around the cars. He frowned as he finished pouring the glasses. Taking them back to where he had left Bri, he stopped by the dj's perch for just a moment. "Listen... I saw someone out in the parking lot poking about... I don't know whats up but it didn't look good..." He said as he caught McPooh's attention. With that he went on, back to Bri. Smiling he handed her her glass.

 

[poohlive]

"People out in the parking lot?" McPooh said to himself, "Well, we should call the police."
He chuckled a little bit. Weren't the whole point of parking lots so people could be in them? He shook his head, putting in another cd. Even if there was trouble outside, it wasn't his department. He wasn't these kids damn babysitter. He was just supposed to go here, do his job and leave. How hard is that?
"What about your car?" He said sarcastically.
McPooh growled at himself, and then shook his head. His car was locked up, and it was on the other side anyway. He didn't have anything to worry about. Besides, there were probably just two horny teenagers wanting to get laid.
He had seen some pretty gutsy teens before at the prom. One time they were doing it under a table. They would have gotten away with it if she hadn't started moaning and groaning. They lifted up the tablecloth and there they were in doggy style, going at it like no one was watching.
McPooh had to laugh and play Who let the dogs out. Everyone cracked up.
He looked around, pletny of places for a couple to go, if they were so enlightened, why even that lovely Danielle person...
McPooh shook his head, "No... don't even think about her."
He cleaned the Foreigner Cd and put it away, why couldn't he stop thinking about her. Hell, she was probably only 17.
"Jailbait," He said softly to himself. He could help but look for her. There she was, in the back, dancing with someone.
"See, she found someone, so quit it."
McPooh went back to the stereo system, and put on another song. It was another slow one, Amost Paradise.

As we slowly danced on the floor i couldnt stop looking into her beautiful eyes. In the light of the floor she looked like a goddess.It felt so good to touch her still wishing i could hold and confort her.Gosh she smells so good.I kept noticing the Dj checking her out.God i love her so much.I wish she returned the feelings.
What good friends she has in dain and Briannah.They have always been pretty good friends to me too.

I wonder if she ever figured out who sent her those roses last valentines day........

 

[Guest]

After Dain spoke with the DJ again, he and Briannah headed off to the Auditorium where they could talk more privately and not have to worry about yelling over any noise...

 

[Ravenloft]

Dain:

Setting down next to Bri, Dain still held her hand and turned to her. "I love you so much Bri, I could never love another the way I love you... And I could want nothing more than to have you by my side for the rest of my days." He could see the tears forming in her eyes as he spoke to her. Leaning in he kissed her lips gently, giving his love to her in all its forms.

 

[sex-maniac69]

David: When the song was over i regreted having to let her go but i had to talk to dain and briannah

[Ravenloft]

OOC: Dude, that was really, REALLY bad timing, can you maybe hold off for my lady, Tiggs's post? She says that as your post stands it had effectivly made hers unpostable...

 

[sex-maniac69]

OCC: Thats fine noone needs to respond till there ready.Pretend i dont get there till after

 

[Guest]

Sure enough, the tears began to well up in Briannah's eyes once again. She was thankful that they decided to find a nice, cozy little spot along the backstage. Though the Auditorium was damn near empty, there were still a few couples scattered about. At any rate, she was thankful for this bit of privacy in the back.

"I love you too," she finally said after several minutes. Seeing the way Dain looked at her caused the tears to finally flow. Leaning foward, he brushed the tears away with his kisses.

"Mmm, salty," Dain said, making Briannah laugh. She smiled at him. She really did love him...

 

[sex-maniac69]

OCC: Im so soory about intruding im in no way usually like that

 

[Ravenloft]

Dain:

Moving to kneel in front of Bri, that old smile on his lips, she knew he was starting to feel playful. His hands went to her waist and drew her against him. His head only reached up to the middle of her stomach. He burried his nose there, breathing in. His hands smoothed along the fabric of her dress, down to the sides of her hips. He looked up at her, his eyes speaking volumes. He desired her, but first and fore most he wanted to please her. He knew that in a moment they would gather eyes on them and that she would push him away out of modesty and fear of what her peers would say, what her teachers might do. She certainly didn't want Dain carried out by his ear for a PDA (Public display of affection) or at least thats what the principal called it. Dain called it love, love plain and simple...
