Annie skipped around the gigantic ballroom. She loved events. The complete V-pin shone on her shirt. She carried the funny blue hat in her hand and 3 of the balloons in her other.

This is so much fun! She thought excitedly. Until she bumped into The Von Helson Twins. Litteraly.

She rammed into the hostesses and punch spilled all over Anna Corinne's brilliant, bloody-red outfit. Annie's eyes widened as the two girls infront of her started to shake with rage. They screamed at her to leave the party and then commented that her antlers were stupid.

Annie stood up infuriated and fled from the party. She ripped the V-pin from her shirt and took out the G-pin that Gambino had given to her earlier that night. She pinned it on and wore it proudly as she raced through Durem's dark streets.

Annie roamed the streets for a while. She had gotten sick of running. It was very dark out and she could barely see anythy around her. But then she heard a familiar voice and saw a light. She walked toward it. The lights was comming from a camera and next to the camera man was Cindy Donovinh.

"Oh my gosh hi!" Annie squealed. "I'm a big fan. I love your hair, and your glasses. Can I try them on?" She didn't wait for an answer. She just snatched the frames off Cindys face. "Nifty." She giggled.

Annie backed out of Cindy's reach and look at her over the lenses. "Nope, I was running away from the Vonhelson Mansion and got hopelessly lost. I live on Isle de Gambino and usually only come down here to go shopping. I love the clothes at H.R. Weasly." She rambled on.

"Anyway, Sorry I couldn't help. I think the mansion is about a thousand blocks that way." She yawned pointing down the street. "If you do head that way, tell me. I need the company." She took of Cindy's glasses and handed them to her. "See ya."

Sisters. ^_^

Amanda-Oldest

Lyre-Youngest

"Lyre, don't ruin this for me. You know I've been looking fowards to this event. So, please don't ruin it for me. PLEASE," Amanda begged, walking down the dark streets of Durem, following the large crowd towards the Von Helson Mansion. Some were leaving, with tacky ballons clutched in their hands, tacky hats on their heads, and tacky white V pins pinned on their clothes, chattering excitedly.
"Lyre," her sister warned.
"Yes mommy," Lyre replied, whinning slightly. A few Gaians turned their heads to her whinning. She sneered at them, and they turned back, obviously angry.
"Lyre. Please," Amanda begged again, sighing slightly.
"Ok, I'll be good," Lyre said, sighing herself. Under her breath, she muttered "Sure".
"What," Amanda snapped. She stopped in the street and turned to her sister.
"Nothing," Lyre said. Amanda sped up trying to lose her sister. Lyre stuck her hand into her pocket and felt her gold G Pin. It felt warm from her heat. She caught up with her sister as they were entering. Inside, people were laughing, and in the middle of the room, on two matching chairs, surrounded by men ,shirtless, showing their scrawny chests off, hoping to win the heart of one of the twin's hearts. The twins sat in the middle, on the chairs, giggling and occasionally caressing one of the guy's arms flirtatiously. Amanda saw one of her friends from her fufu fluffy pink ponies guild, so she ran off to greet her friend, leaving Lyre basically alone. Lyre looked around, when she felt someone's arm around her shoulder. She turned, and saw a guy in green flame pants and green flame top.
"Hey baby. There's an empty room over there. Let's go," he said, trying to be as flirtatious as possible. She smiled, and pulled his arm off her. She shook her head and felt him put his arm around her again. She turned, and backed away from him. He shrugged and walked off, and she stopped walking back, but unfortunatly too late. She felt herself fall back on someone. She grabbed out for anything, and felt a fabric in her hand. She pulled it, and it ended out being a table cloth. The punch bowl fell over, raining red juice all over Lyre and the person she tripped over. Lyre turned slowy and saw the face of ______________
xd KEEP IT HANGING.

And at that time, somewhere off aside from the view of the camera's lens, a young bedraggled man simply sunk onto the frame of the window. The message had sunk in quickly. "Oh, bloody.." The old expression went unfinished, as the second realization resounded in his mind. "So, you're Miss Cindy Donovinh.."

Meanwhile, the raven-haired youth was counting down in his mind. 'Three.. two.. one.' At the precise moment after that last number his phone rang obnoxiously in the background. "Excuse me.."

Steele vanished into the interior of his home to retrieve the wretched device, and, upon opening the channel, he was met with a strangely chill and collected voice. His orders were to leave immediately. So much for sleep. If this was some sort of joke, someone would pay. They would pay dearly.

After hanging up the phone, he quickly pulled on his working clothes: the simple white buttoned shirt, red tie, black vest, pants, and shoes, and a pair of red gloves that did not seem to cover his fingers, but had some sort of metal appendage, like a ring, around each finger. It was little deviation from what he always wore, with the exception of the gloves. Then, grappling for the doorknob and tucking a comb in his pocket after giving a quick swipe to smooth his hair, he walked outside.. into the rays of morning light.

And then he heard a noise-- a noise that was by far more unwelcome than the once again incessant ringing of the phone that had once again seemingly come to life. Metal.. the horrid sound of metal bending.. and a shadow that loomed ominously over Durem before the tower came crashing down. He raised a hand over his face to shield his eyes from the dirt and debris that blew his way. It was like a swift wind, threatening to send him through the air, though thankfully that did not happen. He coughed, regaining composure and taking off on his own. He wanted to survey the damage of his own town before heading off to his assignment.

The phone was left ringing in the background.
