Kath: "No need to press on any further. It would be very unprofessional to bring up the past." *She smirked and pushed her glasses up with one finger.*
Cortax: "What about the Radiatons?"
Ridley: "You see. Your powers are something to be feared-"
Victoria: "Feared?"
Kath: "Do you honestly not know the power you wield, or do you seriously take us for fools?"
Ridley: "This entire city has the potential to ruin our plans-"
Kath: "Therefore, we must eradicate the problem."
Cassandra: (Eradicate?)
Cortax: "Problem? We've had no intentions of causing you problems!"
Ridley: "If you're struggling with a question, take out the problem, and the answer becomes quite clear."
Victoria: "What are you saying?"
Ridley: "The folly, can't you understand yet?"
Kath: "This is no longer discussable."
Cortax: "You haven't told us anything! We can't read your mind!"
Ridley: "Maybe you can? Your powers may be unethical to Remenistal Users or Elementalists, but your potential is unimaginable."
Victoria: "So, we're a threat?"
Ridley: "Ahh, not as half-witted as I originally thought."
Cortax: (If they plan to attack, a fight of such magnitude could destroy this entire city!)
Kath: "Unless you have furthermore questions, actions speak louder than words." *She formed fists, causing her hands to burst into flames.*
Victoria: *She gasped and stepped back, quickly hiding her intimidation.* (Her Neurons! She just released her Neurons and I've never felt something so powerful in all my-)
Ridley: "Shall we dance?" *He chuckled in a condescending manner and focused with squinted eyes, causing swirls of shadow-like darkness to envelop his hands.*
Cortax: (My worst fear!-) "Everyone!" *He shouted, queuing everyone to start dancing.*
----------
*Luna anxiously waited on a long silver bench in the middle of the park and looked up, staring at the stars.*
Luna: *She exhaled nervously and wrapped her arms around her stomach.* (Every person who seemed to care for me turned out to be false..-)
Carlo: "'Sup?" *He smirked, slowly walking up to the bench.*
Luna: "Carlo-" *She smirked and quickly stood up, causing Carlo to chuckle.*
Carlo: "So."
Luna: "So.."
Carlo: *He noticed Luna's ball-like dress, causing him to smirk in an impressed-like manner.* "About the ball-"
Luna: "We should go-"
Carlo: "Well, maybe I was thinking we could skip that."
Luna: "Skip?"
Carlo: "Well, yeah."
Luna: "Why?" *She spoke in confusion.*
Carlo: "Well, you're good looking."
Luna: "Wait, wat?"
Carlo: "Yea, I was wondering if we could, ya know."
Luna: "Ya know? Ya know wat?"
Carlo: *He grabbed Luna's waist and smirked, slowly stepping forward.* "Fun?"
Luna: "Didn't you want to go to the ball?"
Carlo: "We can have fun other ways?"
Luna: "I-I've liked you for ages-"
Carlo: "Cool, so, where do you wanna go?"
Luna: *She shook her head, instantly looking sad.* "I'm goin' home-"
Carlo: "Huh?"
Luna: "This is what you wanted the whole time, right?"
Carlo: "Yea? Aren't you into that stuff?"
Luna: "I've never-" *She spoke with quivering lips and pushed Carlo back, instantly running away.*
Carlo: "Fine-" *He frowned in disgust, as if Luna was in the wrong.*
Luna: (I knew it.. I knew it!)
Carlo: "That stupid slag." *He sighed on his breath, as if he no longer had any plans.*
Luna: (I hate...) *She ran with a tensed up body and scrunched her eyes shut, causing tears to run down her cheeks.*
*Luna ran across the street and straight towards her house, angrily opening the fly screen.*
Luna: (Why can't I find anyone?!) *She stumbled into the house, catching Kairi's attention.*
Kairi: "Hun-?"
Luna: "Gah!-" *She screamed with emotion and started to violently rip off the dress' accessories.*
Kairi: "What's wrong-?"
Luna: "Nothin'! Just stop!" *She sniffed, storming into her room.*
Kairi: "..." *She awkwardly smiled to herself, before focusing her attention back into the kitchen.*
Luna: *She sobbed, dropping to her knees.* (I can't believe this...)
*Luna fell to her side and stared at the wall with an emotionless face, ignoring the tears which streamed across her face.*
----------
*Lance's room was as messy as a teenager's. There were clothes scattered on the floor and cables tangled from his electronics. He had stacks of DVD's and games. He also had a wooden table with all sorts of crystals and piles of spiritual magazines. The room was dimly lit.*
Lance: *He sighed and sat on the end of his bed.* (There's nothing to do.) *He looked around with a bored expression and his stomach growled.*
*An hourly alarm beeped, causing Lance to moan with boredom.*
Lance: *The bed squeaked as he leant up and walked to the living room.* (I shouldn't have come home so early-) *He jumped on the couch and changed the channel on the TV.*
Anchor Man: "And now Mrs. Hambridge will be giving us an update on Sceldrant's Comet."
Mrs. Hambridge: "Thank you. Now that Sceldrant's comet is closer to Earth we're able to grasp more information from it, we have also gathered the most intelligent meteorologists and have found some interesting findings relating to the comet."
Lance: "Not the news again."
Mrs. Hambridge: "Firstly, I have been receiving emails asking the same question and well let me tell you all, that there is no chance of the comet actually hitting us. Next, we believe the comet may cause some disturbances in the weather as the comet emits an abnormal energy signature our computers can't register."
Kairi: *She made noises in the kitchen, as she took the roast out of the oven.* (Almost ready-)
Mrs. Hambridge: "We also have pinpointed that the comet will be viewable around ten 'o clock at night, local time."
Lance: (At ten, aye?)
Mrs. Hambridge: "Once again, you'll be able to see all of the comet's glory if you pop down to the local library or public schools, as we're allowing people to freely use the telescopes!"
Anchor Man: "Thank you Mrs. Hambridge, we will continue the interview after a short message."
*A mysterious advert caused the screen to glow aurora colours, catching Lance's attention.*
Kairi: "Din-Din's ready, hun." *She sliced the roast onto three separate plates.*
Lance: "Shh this kool show is on!! I'll be there in a second!"
Kairi: "Okay, please make haste before it gets cold." *She walked over to the table and placed the dishes in their respective places.*
TV Advert: *The advert showed pictures of products and a map on how to get there. It played on a continual loop with a voice over.* "Don't miss our one-day-opening! Spirit attachments, curses, unwelcome guests, we specialise in all that stuff. We will be opening at eleven in the morning to one in the afternoon. If you're into this type of stuff, this is a must see!"
Lance: *He sat on the edge of the couch due to excitement.* (I really want to go, but Ashton's stupid manager thing is on tomorrow-)
Kairi: *She noticed Lance stare at a blank screen, which caused her to look curious.* "Lance?"
Lance: *He unintentionally ignored her, as he grumbled deep in thought.* (I always feel like I can sense strange things and all that stuff so, I want to check this out. I don't even want to be a manager, I'm only doing it for Ashton.) *He sighed to himself with frustration.*
Kairi: "What was all that about, hun?"
Lance: "Some stupid thing." (Sorry Ashton but I really want to go to this store.)
Kairi: "Lance, it's getting cold." *She sat down and grabbed a knife and f
ork.*
Lance: "I'm comin' far out." *He got up and hobbled to the table as he plopped himself onto a chair.*
Kairi: "Luna, come on! It's getting cold!" *Her voice caused the sounds of a door opening in response.*
Luna: "Sorry, mother." *She walked out of her room dressed in all black and covered in dark make-up.*
Lance: (That thing is my sister-) *He watched Luna drag her feet to the table.*
Luna: *She noticed Lance staring at her, which caused her eyebrow to twitch.* "Wat are you lookin' at?!"
Lance: "Did ya take so long 'cause you were cuttin' yourself a little longer than usual?"
Luna: "So, Lance, have you seen any more ghosts lately or tryin' to summon a character from one of your stupid games?" *She smirked.*
Lance: "Wow, was I wrong? You took so long because you had to glue your face together because it broke when you tried to smile?"
Kairi: "Lance, enough!"
Lance: "What about her?" *He pointed at Luna like a child.*
Kairi: "She is five years younger than you, you should know better-"
Lance: "Yeah thanks for dinner, I'm off to bed, aye." *He pushed the chair back and made his way to his room.*
Kairi: "But you haven't eaten anything?" *Her voice slightly echoed down the hallway.*
Lance: "I'm not hungry anymore." *He slammed the door behind him and took a few steps into his room and yawned.* (Looks like I used more energy at that paintball thing than I expected.) *He yawned again and lay down on the bed. He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.*
----------
Luna: *She frowned in anger, intensely staring at herself in the mirror.* (That stupid idiot!)
*Luna rubbed her left eye and dropped her arm in a defeated-like manner, smearing black makeup all down one side of her face.*
Luna: (Maybe I'll join Kylie and Kerry-Anne tomorrow, not like anyone will care..) *She whimpered and dragged her feet to the bed, collapsing face-first into the pillow.*
----------
*Nathan slowly woke up, noticing he was bound by thick rusty chains.*
Nathan: "Huh-?" *He glanced across a jail-like cell, listening to the sounds of chains and moans echo in the background.*
*Nathan squinted and opened his eyes wider, finding himself chained to a stone door.*
Nathan: (I've... I've finally been captured?)
----------
*Ashton and Rachael stood on the roof of Fast Food Enterprise, watching the cars drive down the street.*
Rachael: "It wasn't cool what Lance did."
Ashton: "He did a no show on the day he was meant to do his manager's induction."
Rachael: "How did Twortz react?"
Ashton: *She wasn't too impressed, but I was able to cover for him."
Rachael: (Ash is so sweet.) *She looked at Ashton with blushing cheeks.*
Ashton: "Thanks for today." *He smiled and held Rachael's hand, causing her to giggle.*
Rachael: "Why're you thanking me? We just talked after your shift-"
Ashton: "No matter what we're doing, I'm always grateful for the times we spend together."
Rachael: "Hehe, Ash."
Ashton: "No. I mean it, Rach."
Rachael: (I can see why a lot of girls are jealous of me now, he's a wonder-)
Ashton: *He looked up and watched the stars flicker, causing him to smile.* (I find the good in everyone, but with Rach, I don't even need to try. She is just amazing-) "Excuse me, Rach?"
Rachael: *She looked up, admiring the stars with Ashton.* "Yeah?"
Ashton: "How come you never complain or ask why I'm Lance's friend?"
Rachael: "Why should I question who you should be friends with?"
Ashton: "Ha ha, that's what I like about you." *He smiled and shook his head, as if it didn't matter.*
Rachael: "Oh? So you only like me because I don't question anything about you?" *She spoke in a playful-like manner, looking at Ashton with a smile.*
Ashton: "Ha ha, you got me." *He stepped back and swayed his arms, as if Rachael was right.*
Rachael: "Hehe, sure did, arsehole." *She smirked and playfully turned away, folding her arms.*
Ashton: "You're amazing, Rach."
Rachael: "That's Rachael to you."
Ashton: "Oh, sorry. Ahem. You're amazing, unacceptable face."
Rachael: "Hehe! Unacceptable face?" *She turned around and faced Ashton, trying not to laugh.*
Ashton: "Ha ha, that's the best I got. Leave me alone."
Rachael: "You halfwit." *She smirked, causing Ashton to turn red.*
Ashton: "All you do is pay me out, jeez. Give me a break."
Rachael: *She smirked, stepping forward.* "Sorry?"
Ashton: "Acceptable." *He smirked and leant forward, kissing Rachael on the lips.*
----------
*Luna, Kylie and Kerry-Anne drank from alcohol bottles, watching the sunrise.*
Kylie: "This feels like a public holiday."
Kerry-Anne: "Sceldrant's Comet.. It kinda is."
Luna: "Yea." *She grunted in agreement and violently rocked the bottle up, taking a sip of alcohol.*
Kylie: "We've all been hurt, so why do we seriously continue to rot?"
Kerry-Anne: "Wither and waste our parents' money?"
Luna: (Wasting our parents' money? She's right! I never thought of it like that-)
Kylie: "It would be easier to end it.."
Kerry-Anne: "Damn right." *She spoke in a sorrowful-like manner, taking a sip from the bottle.*
Luna: "Such a waste of space and resources, aye."
Kerry-Anne and Kylie: "Damn right."
----------
*Lance stood outside Fast Food Enterprise and sighed, before opening the door.*
Lance: *He stepped inside and instantly felt cool air brush past him.* (That's better.) *He noticed Ashton standing with his arms folded and his face filled with disappointment.* (He doesn't look happy-)
