[purple_shadows]

hey guys, sorry this took so long. We're colaberating on it, so it may go on for a bit, but yes ummm...stuff....

 

ENJOY!

 

Morning came as Black awoke to a sizzle of brief sun light. The burning sting of the sun's rays sent Black leaping out of bed with an awkward yipe, reminding him of what today really was...his date with PS! Having been alive for more years then most...4509 to be exact...Black had plenty of experience...but lacked some knowledge as he'd not been on a date for some time. This was mostly due to the fact that a good portion of his life was military based. After all, a leader, not to mention a commander of all the armed forces rarely has time for such events as a date. Taking time to wash up and perform any action one normally would...Black donned his freshly pressed tux and replaced his usual cape with that of a fine, new one. Checking his look in the nearby mirror...Black saw nothing...as he sometimes forgot that vampires cast no reflection.

 

Black-"Blast! Now how am I supposed to know how I look?" This disturbed the vampire as he didn't want to meet PS with some glaringly obvious tweak in his appearance. Tossing this thought aside, Black thought it trivial to fret over such a small matter...besides...everyone knew that vampires cast no reflection...apparently everyone but Black! Vampires also rarely went out in the day time, but Black was not your typical vampire. He'd been wandering about in the day light hours for a great many years...too many to count...he'd even felt the sun a few times...though he was severly burned! Clearing his throat, Black practiced a few lines in front of his non existant reflection.

 

Black-"Good morning, PS. NO, no, no! That is too ordinary! Too bland!" Clearing his throat once again, Black once more attempted to come up with a good line...after all...first impressions are key. With a bow, Black spoke in a proud voice..."Greeting, m'lady and how are you this fine morning?" Black shook his head in annoyment...was that the best he could come up with? He's a warlord not a pool man! Deciding it time to get moving, Death rushed out the door with little thought...only to return a few minutes later to retrieve his coin pouch. By this time, the morning had passed and early afternoon was approaching. What a dimwit Black was...being late on his first date in...who knows how long! Passing by a nearby flower/candy shop, Black quickly looked over the higher priced products and motioned that he'd like to purchace a dozen roses and a box of fine chocolate, heart shaped candy.

 

Shopkeeper-"That will be..." Death threw a few gold coins on the counter and spoke in a rushed manner.

Black-"No time! Keep the change!"

Shopkeeper-"Oh? But this is way too much." By the time the shopkeeper finished his little speech...Black was already out of sight with his newly purchased products. Arriving at PS's door just a bit later that he'd hoped, Black awaited her presence as he attempted to think of something to say about his tardiness. 'Come-on! I can do this! I have taken down armies! I have led my troops to victory...when we were outnumbered...why can't I focus on one simple date?' Thinking as hard as his simple mind could manage...Death tried to come up with something...anything! 'I am deeply sorry for my tardiness m'lady. Apparently I can aid in saving the world, but mortal matters leave me clueless. A rose for a rose...m'lady?' That was it...the best he could come up with...it would have to do.

PS was awakened by her door slaming into the wall and a loud thud followed by explicatives.

"Damnit PS! When are you going to get lights in here?"

"Good morning to you too, Shadows"

"Just because you don't need them doesn't mean that the rest of us don't as well. Anyways, lets get you dressed, you've got a date this afternoon."

"What time is it?"

"Seven Thirty"

PS groans "It's not going to take 6 hours to get ready. It doesn't take more than 30 minutes to throw on some clothes."

"But today is extra special! You have to have time to get in the mindset, try on every outfit, do your makeup, style your hair" Shadows ticks off on her fingers. "Either way we are running late already. Get up. We're going to do some Yoga."

 

Hannah Yawns and gets out of bed, her stomach growling. She walks upstairs out of the basement still rubbing the sleep out of her eyes when she sees two forms in oddly contoreted poses. Or rather one in a contorted pose and the other trying to get themself into it.

"Good morning Hannah" The contorted form says rather cheerily.

"What the frik are you guys doing?"

"Yoga!" Shadows answers over PS's groan of protest.

"I'm going back to bed."

 

 

"I don't see why I have to wear this" PS complains

"Oh hush you, you look great."

"But I knuitted a dress just for today"

Shadows looks at the balled up lump of yarn over in the corner, trust me honey, this looks mucjh better on you."

"Yeah, but why a skirt? I hate skirts" PS was feeling more and more nervous as the day progressed. Two O'clock ahd come and gone and Black still hadn't arrived. She was hoping that he hadn't forgotten. She hadn't been on a date in years, and not one of them ever asked for a second. Things always seemed to go wrong. like the time her rat got out of her bag and ended up in her dats soup. Apparently talking rats aren't a very common occurance in the states, let alone in your soup. *sigh* she hoped this went well, and she hoped she looked semi decent. Rat would have to stay on her shoulder if she wanted to avoid any sort of disaster. She wished that Shadows would let her wear her glasses so that she could at least see. Even if everything looked like blobs. But shadows insisted that the coke bottle lenses did nothing to accent the outfit. This was going to be a long day. It was 3:30 when the doorbell finally rang.

"I'll get it" black heard from the inside, but whoever had called, someone else had beat them to it. A woman in pajamas answered the door still in her pajamas, and half asleep it seemed.

 

"Morning...er...afternoon M'lady. Might this be the residence of Ps?"

 

Groggily Hannah looked at him, and then her face hardend to a scowl and she slammed the door in his face. Before he even had time to recover Another woman opened the door slightly winded but with a cheery, welcoming grin.

"Hi, I'm Shdows, you must be Black, PS is in the kitchen. Sorry about Hannah,s he just woke up and she doesn't...uh...much care for vampires."

 

Black breathed a sigh of relief as he'd been a little frightened of Hannah. Glancing Shadows way, Black began to speak...in as proud a manner as he could muster "Greeting Shadows." Black stated as he bows. coming back to an upright position, Black Continued "Thanks for saving me from Hannah...I'm in your debt. For a moment I thought this was going to be a very long day."
