there now, she's home!!!" Luka jumped down from the dining room table. Connie grabbed him and all three of them disappeared. They were leaving the back door as Trish came through the front.

"Tuckerrrr?" Trish slurred. Vannah knew she was drunk. Alcohol came naturally when she was stressed. "TUCKER!!!" she called again. She didnt bother checking the other rooms before dragging herself upstairs. Which is where they hadn't set any cameras.

Vannah turned in shortly after that, The mission was half done and it was obvious anything happening in that house wouldn't be tonight. She was so tired and out of it even she paid no attention when she went into Luka's room and not the girls.

She awoke to dark eyes. "I can't sleep Luka said to a disoriented Vannah. She sat up, Luka was so close to her. "What are you doing?" "Your in my room, remember?" Oh yeah earlier that day they had made the change. She was just so tired "I cant sleep he said again, and its because of you."

"Well now I cant sleep either and its because of you!" Vannah said half smiling and hoping she had'nt slobbered while sleeping. The blueish light coming through the window made it seem unreal, like he was a dream but it wasn't she was alone with Luka in a bed.

"What are you talking about about any way  Luka?"  She finallay asked to feel the silence the way he was staring at her was driving her crazy.
"You your song ,I cant sleep now, it keeps playing in my head and it wont stop! Not until you sing to me again," he sounded so certain. He sounded like he needed her. And Vannah obliged. She wanted him just like he wanted her.

A Sound like no other pulled them together. She sang quietly in hopes it wouldn't travel.This was different then last night seeing the look in Luka's eyes intensified everything. She allowed Luka to lean into her. His face was just inches from her's so handsome so sad . What had happened to Luka to make him look that way? She wondered. She sang to take that sadness away to give him the calming sleep she no longer had, she sang to bring him refuge most of all she sang to bring him to her. Lukas eyes closed but he wasn't asleep the song faded away, because his lips had reached hers.

Then suddenly Luka jumped back, standing. Vannah stood to, breathing rapidly wanting the rest of Lukas kiss. "I don't know what's come over me!" He said shifting from foot to foot. Vannah felt different too, she wanted Luka so,so bad!

What had she done?

Her song had entwined them some how, it had made them yearn for one another. He was close to her again. She looked up at him. so soft his lips were so welcoming.

"Closer!" She whispered and he took over the last of the space between them.

"This is wrong we really did just met!" she mumbled when he trailed kisses down her face

"But it doesn't feel that way, does it?" He asked ,lifting her chin. And claiming her lips again and again. Until they were asleep in each other's arms.


Morning as usual came to quickly Vannah reached for Luka then remembered he had left just before the sun had risen, wanting to be on the couch when the others woke up. She showered which thankfully didn't make her morph. That was the one thing she wasn't ready to get used to, a tail. "Luka she sighed his name. What would happen today would they actually pretend nothing had happened? That he hadn't held her in his arms and kissed her through the night. "Mick oh no Mick!" Guilt was building, how would she look at him? In days she had let Luka in ,she cried in his arms last night and Luka had soothed her. Mick wanted to be the one, but he just wasn't. It was Luka.


Mick was the first person she saw he greeted her with a smile. "Hey," he said as if he hadn't been sulking recently.
"Hey", she said back not meeting his eyes and not returning the smile afraid it would look forced.

"Good you're up, you missed half the day!" Connie said from the kitchen doorway come eat with me and Ele. Vannah took the escape. She'd missed half the day, she had slept that long and still felt sluggish.
"Where so excited about tonight!" Ele said while washing her plate off in the sink. "Tonight?"
"Yeah party at The Red Wing remember?" Connie asked. Vannah hadn't remembered how could she? With all that had happened since the pizza parlor.
"Well I hope you're ready because Ele and I plan on getting in tonight."
"You've never been in before?"
"You have to be on a list!" Ele answered ,staring out the window at Mr. Bayne who had just appeared from around the house and he wasn't alone.

"Caroline!"

Connie proclaimed opening the back door and stepping into the garden where the couple had just taken a seat on the bench. Vannah and Ele followed. Caroline was pretty with light brown hair and big brown eyes, she looked to be in her thirties. "Hello girls she said her gaze stopping on Vannah. "Finally you two meet, Vannah this is Caroline!" Mr. Bayne introduced her. "Pleased to meet you sweetheart Caroline said taking Vannah's hand. "Pleased to meet you too Vannah replied feeling strange under Caroline's stare. Caroline must have notice because she turned her gaze slightly but still spoke to Vannah. "I'm sorry to stare Vannah its just.... Mr. Bayne stood, "Girls maybe give them a moment." Ele and Connie exchanged looks but followed Mr. Bayne back inside. Caroline gave Vannah a look that said you might want to sit down, so Vannah did. Caroline fidgeted with the colorful fringe hanging off her vintage jacket. "I guess the best place to start is the beginning.

"When I was 16 Vannah I lived in a home for girls." Vannah didn't no what to expect ,but it hadn't been that. Caroline went on "At the shelter I met a girl, her name was Leera and like me she was different. Once she turned 18 she inherited a beautiful singing voice one that could put boys to sleep and a tail whenever she was engulfed by water. Vannah's whole body buzzed, "In the home once you turned 18 they transferred you to a shelter for adults. A few days after Leera's birthday A young blond women came to escort her to the adult home. "I tell you this Vannah because the last time I saw Leera she wasn't showing but, she was very much pregnant.
"Hhh hhh how long has it been?" Vannah stuttered out the Question.
"Almost 19 years, Caroline said her eyes tearing up right along with Vannahs. Could it be? Vannah asked herself. Yes! It was possible.
"I don't want to give you false hope Vannah but you do have her eyes."

After Caroline left Vannah rushed up to the girls room. Where they were waiting with curiousity. "Spill!" Connie said taking in Vannahs flushed face. Vannah paced as she told them what she had just learned.

Both Connie and Ele gawked at her. "Talk about coincidence, Ele said.
"Is it? Connie asked. I mean is it really that much of a coincidence? Maybe Vannahs Mom grew up around here in Rarity alot of UGIs do." Vannah agreed not only because she wanted it to be true but it just sounded right.

Vannah was walking back past her old room when the door flung open and she was pulled inside. "Luka! she said quietly while falling onto the bed with him. "Where were you this morning?" she asked.
"I wen't with Bayne to get Caroline. What is it she had to talk to you about?" Luka asked. Again Vannah told the story, she was even more enthusiastic about it this time. But Luka wasn't smiling.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"I just don't want you to be let down, It's just a really delicate situation." Luka said sitting up.
"I know Vannah replied , but it's also a lead. A good one."
"True," Luka agreed the corners of his mouth tilting up slightly.

''KNOCK KNOCK''

The sound made both Vannah and Luka jump.
"Hey Luka Mr bayne is looking for you, his computers down." They breathed it was Warren.
"Alright I'll be right down!" he said then quickly kissed Vannah on the cheek. I'll leave first he said, and a minute later Vannah eased back into the hall. She was starting down the steps as Mick was coming up, he stopped her.

"You'll save a dance for me tonight right? Mick asked. I mean just as friends!" He quickly added.

Vannah hadn't been aware that Mick was coming. "Oh of course Mick yeah!" Maybe things wouldn't be as awkward between them as she thought, at least until he found out things had escalated between her and Luka.


Night came and The girls were getting ready. Electra's white mini dress insinuated her long creamy legs, her white silver hair was in a tight bun and diamonds studs flashed in her ears. Connie had washed her hair and let it dry in her natural flaming curls , her black tube top hugged every curve and her jeggins were smooth against her legs. Vannahs dark hair cascaded down her back, she wore an electric blue sleeveless dress that flowed over her body a slit came mid thigh exposing her tanned leg and gold lace up sandals.

Vannah wasn't feeling well, not sick but just out of it 

They descended down the steps at 8:55. The guys were in the living room waiting except for Warren, not only because he was to young but he was also human. He had turned in early, his face buried in a book as usual.

Both guys looked like Abercrombie and Fitch models in there button ups and faded jeans. Vannah felt closed in my thppqe boys stares. Mick cleared his throat. He grabbed the keys from the gold bowl and they were out. Rhianna's song (Come On) blared through the cars speakers. Vanah sang along blushing when Luka who was in the passenger seat looked back at her. It took twenty minutes to get there and the line outside was massive.

"Forget this!"  A very impatient Ele thought after 30 seconds and marched straight to the front of the line and up to the over pierced bouncer at the door.
Hey she said in her sweetest voice. The bouncer looked at her surprised by how she ignored the glares and whispers from random girls. But the guys didn't seem to mind the view. One of them actually reached out to touch Vannah but Luka came up beside her blocking his hand. "My names Electra I'm on the list." The bouncer didn't even get a chance to check before an excited Joshua appeared behind him. She's in Blake and her friends Josh said grabbing Ele's hand and letting Blake the bouncer stamp a red angel wing on it. The others got stamps to and just like that they were going in.

Strobe lights lit up the Dance floor and the bar which took up the length of the club. Joshua directed them to an upper level which was lit dimly and had tables and plush red chairs. They found the most secluded table and sat. Except for Connie. "I'm going for drinks!" Mick handed her a fifty dollar bill. first rounds on me he said. "Aren't you coming?" she asked the girls. "Yes!" Vannah answered quickly she had gotten her self stuck right between the the boys.

On the lower level Connie took the last unoccupied stool at the bar. That was when Vannah remembered none of them were twenty-one. She whispered this detail to Connie who whispered back, " We U.G.I.'s live by different rules." Connie got the attention of a bartender. Let me get three martinis ,three beers, and three shots of rum. "The rum and
