Room 112 (Lisa/Alanna's Room)

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Lisa stands in front of the mirror, fastening the silver cross necklace Angelus gave her around her neck. She then puts on another, longer chain with a small Star of David on it and lets it falls under the neckline of her dress - obscuring it from view before someone asks her if she's a member of Jews for Jesus and she has to slap them.







Giving up the never ending battle with her hair, she prays it isn't too humid out and waits for Angelus to arrive.

Angelus arrived at her door as requested, dressed for Homecoming (http://www.wtftbq.com/fandomhigh/homecoming.jpg) and in a very chipper mood.

He rapped on Lisa's door. "It's me."

Lisa opened the door with a warm smile, "Hey, come on in. I just need to grab my purse..."

She ushered him through the front door, and then she ran quickly to the other room in her heels. "Here it is." She paused and took a look at him. "You look great," she said with a soft nod.

"You just uh - " Angelus lingered in the doorway, then put his hand through where the invisible barrier would have been. "That was an invitation. You sure about that? Also, because I am a man and would be betraying the team if I didn't mention this: wow you look hot."

"Will you get in here?" She giggled a bit, slightly nervous, and then berated herself silently for being such a girl. "Thank you. I figured this could slide under the 80s radar without making me look like a jackass. Would you like a drink, before we go?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Look ma," Angelus stepped through the doorway, "No barrier. Sure, whatever you've got. And - " his face lit up. "You wore the necklace."

She touched it gently at her throat. "It's too beautiful to sit in a drawer. Thank you again for it, it means a lot to me."

Uncomfortable with her self-perceived prolonged mooning, she bent over into the fridge. "I've got beer... ummm water, and a Beaujolais up in the cabinet. And if you're hungry, Alanna keeps a freakish amount of food for a teenager. Her level of responsibility is a bit disturbing, if you ask me." The light in here eyes showed she was teasing, and she turned back to Angelus and smiled.

"Beaujolais is fine," Angelus said. He looked around. "I didn't know you roomed with Alanna. I was talking to her earlier today."

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"I just moved in with her... when I came back to school," she explained. "I lived with a kid named Wallace before, who was nice enough and clean enough but I literally never saw him, and when I came back I couldn't find him to see if he had filled the spot or not." She expertly uncorked the wine and poured two glasses, handing him one. "Alanna and I work in the clinic together, and she pretty much took pity on me and let me come live with her. The two of you number among the very few people I trust, actually."

"Funny you should say that. I was talking to her to find out if I should trust her. For Student Council, I mean." Angelus held up his wineglass. "A toast?"

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"She's pretty bad-ass, and there's something I can't quite pinpoint, but she's very... noble. She lived as a boy for a while to train, did you know that? That's hardcore dedication."

"A toast is always a good idea, but what should we toast to?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Friendship?" Angelus suggested. "Future possibilities? Beauty?"

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

She wasn't going to blush. Nope. Not going to happen. No way, not...

Aw, fuck.

A blush crept up the back of her exposed neck, and she grinned her way through it. "All three work for me. To a wonderful evening with a friend." She brought her glass to his tentatively.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus clinked his glass against hers, his eyes never wavering from hers as they did. "You look amazing. I could not be in a happier mood. How's about I treat you like a princess?"

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Lisa took a sip of her wine to regain some composure. "I thought that was what that whole 'saving the world' thing was a few weeks ago?" she said with a small smirk, but her eyes never left his. "I don't think you could possibly accumulate any more white knight points, and you don't have to treat me any differently than you have been. I've really enjoyed our time together."

"Don't know that slaughtering zombies will be on the menu," Angelus grinned. "I did just get the new suit."

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"That might actually work in my favor," Lisa laughed. "Otherwise, I'll have to be beating all the other girls off of you with a stick, and I although I am from Jersey and can hold my own, some of my fellow female classmates are far more skilled in the art of combat. Maybe if you're covered in zombie goo I'll be able to keep you for myself."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Brains, beauty, and she can fight too?" Angelus put his wineglass down, then held out his hand for Lisa to take. "Why Ms. Cuddy, you may just be able to have your way with me before the night is through."

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Lisa took his hand. "You've already seen through my wicked plan?" She sighed dramatically. "And all this time I thought I was smooth..."

"You say that, wearing a dress like that, and my mind goes to naughty places for a response," Angelus told her. "In the interest of not getting myself slapped until we're doing it safe, sane, and consentually, shall we at least make a token appearance at the dance?"

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"I suppose we should grace them with our presence. Plus, I really do need to cross 'see Angelus bust a move' off of my '100 things to do before I die' list."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"That item been on your list long?" Angelus grinned as he led her to the dance (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/189930.html?thread=8487402#t8487402).
