This is a place to rp.

Fae Grace walks into the Ballroom 2 and gasps. It's so pretty, and she feels out of place. She doesn't feel pretty. She walks around, and realises she is the only one. Though she is alone, she dances to the music. She has a slight smile, and her eyes that were once twinkling, close.

((Can I join?))

((yeah))

Ryan walks into the Ballroom 2. He looks around and decides to go to the back of the room. Hopefully no one would see him.

Fae feels a difference in the air. She hears someone walking. She opens her eyes, and stops dancing. She sees a boy walk to the back of the ballroom. She widens her eyes. 'Did he see me dancing? Oh no, oh no oh no oh no!'
She doesn't like seeing people alone, so she walks over.
"Uh, hi?" she does a cute little wave.

Ryan looks up at the girl. She was pretty. "Hi. I'm Ryan Tibets. " he said.

Faith hesitates before putting out her hand.
'Dam, he is hot. Shut it, Faith.'
She hates talking to herself, mentally and verbally.
"Nice to meet you, Ryan. I'm F-Fae Grace."
She cringes to herself.
'Shiz, why am I stuttering?'

"Hi Fae. " he said. "I'm surprised you didn't call me Adam's brother. " he said as he went over to her to shake her hand.

Fae shrugs just a bit.
"Its more polite to acknowledge people by their names. And to be truthful, I didn't know you have a brother. I'm usually in my dorm. Or outside."
She shakes his hand gently.

"Oh. My twin is Adam. He is the more popular one out of us. He is a basketball player...." he said as he let go of her hand.

Fae casually puts her hand back to her side.
"I don't have a twin. It would be nice, though, so cherish it. And who cares about popularity? I can't believe people still care about that. It doesn't matter how popular you are because you are who you are, and no one can ever change that."
She looks him in the eye.
"Know what I mean?"

"No... I was always Adam's shadow.. " he said. He looked at her. "Did you come to the ball with someone? Where is your date?"

Fae punches his shoulder lightly.
"Come out of the dark, come into the light."
She smiles at him.
"No seriously, I can't see you very well and it hurts my eyes."
She laughs. When he brings up her having a date, she stops laughing.
"No.. I think I'm too... talkative for someone to like me. What 'bout you?"

Ryan steps closer to her. "That's funny. I would never get a date. I only came because Adam wanted me to..."

"I only came because I love to dance. Plus, to see the lights."
She sighs.

"And, have you found a dance partner?" he asked.

Fae sadly shakes her head.
"Only if myself counts.*

"That's too bad. Maybe I could try... I've never been dacing before..."

Fae smiles, then blushes.
"Well, I know it's usually the boy who does this, but would you care to dance?" she asks shyly.

“Sure. I’m sorry if I step on your feet...” Ryan said.

Fae laughs.
"Don't worry. I might get you back by stepping on your feet. And I'm telling you, it will sure be an accident."
She puts out her hand.
"Shall we?"

((gods, she is sure acting like a gentleman))

Ryan takes her hand. “You know it is my job to act like a gentleman?” He said as he began to do a slow dance with her. He didn’t step on her feet.

"Well, you seemed a little sad, so I'm trying to cheer you up."
She giggles while they slow dance, happy that he isn't stepping on her, and praying she does that step on him. She doesn't.
"Is it working, or am I seeming awkward and/or blunt?"

“I wasn’t sad but you are making me feel happy.” He said as he spun her.

Fae smiles. She feels like she is doing all of the talking, so she changes the subject.
"So... what is your power..?"

“Metal. What isn’t yours?”

Fae gets a gleam in her eyes.
"Fire."
She smiles brightly.

((I'm going to start finding fire puns!))

“We would work great together at the forge.” Ryan said smiling.

((here it comes. forgive my soul))

"Would we." she says, smiling brighter.
She gets an idea, and hopes he doesn't find her weird after this.
"Did you hear about the fire at the shoe factory?"

“No I did not. Is there one near here?” He asked.

"No, but it was a real tragedy."
She really hopes he catches on and asks if that was a pun, so she can carry it through. If he doesn't, it will just hang there.

“Ok?” He said confused.

"Yeah, 100 soles were lost."
She stares at him, hoping he catches on. If he doesn't she won't know what to do.

“What are you trying to say?” He asked.

Fae looks down, embarrassed.
"Nevermind..."
She just made a complete fool out of herself, and she just wants to leave and never see him again. She knew she shouldn't have gotten obsessed with puns, cause now they ruined her.

Ryan twirled her again. “You ok?”

Fae doesn't look at him. At all. She looks at her dress, her cheeks velvet.
"I'm... ok..."
She knows she just lied, and she feels guilty, but I mean she just embarrassed herself.
"I shouldn't have said that pun. oh my gods oh my gods oh my gods. kill me now."
She realises she said that out loud and she blushes harder.
"I didn't mean for you to hear that.."

Ryan stops dancing and looks at her. “Hey, you don’t have to lie to me. I won’t judge. “ he said.

"I was just trying to lighten things up, by saying a pun, but it didn't work out. Guess you can say it didn't work."
She still does that look up, even when they stop dancing. She stiffles a groan, and resists the urge to stick out her tongue and run away. Oh, where is someone you recognize when you need them?

“Hey, its ok.”

Fae just shakes her head.
"Whatever. Let's forget that. Forget me."

Ryan walked back over to the corner. “Tell me when you want to talk again.”

Fae doesn't answer him, she just picks up her dress a little angry, and stomp lightly away. She goes to the other side of the Ballroom 2 and sit, wanting to cry.

Ryan looks at her. If Adam was here he would know what to do.

She curls up in a little ball and rocks back and forth. She wishes her old friends were here. She wishes she wasn't so dam dramatic.

Ryan went on his phone.

Fae gets up, pushing past what just happened. It's ancient artifacts to dwell over history. She gets up and starts dancing, acting like she is all alone. She even sings her own song.

Ryan gasps and runs out of the room.

Fae, even though she was singing, hears and watches him run out of the room. She doesn't know what happened, or if she did anything wrong by getting up and dancing and singing. She gets a little worried, and she runs after him.
"Ryan? Ryan, are you alright?"
