Story time!
I am feeling uber story-ish right now, so that means : LULU'S GOT A STORY PLAN!

ok here goes:

Chapter 1: A night to remember.... (also the theme of this year's prom)
It was the worst night for an accident.

I know there is never a good time for an accident, but there can always be a worst time for one. I know....

It was the night of my junior prom, and I was so phyced because I was going to dance with a boy I couldn't seem to take my mind off of, meet up with my friends, and get out of the house for the evening... I was so happy. I just felt the world was coming to slightest call. The tinseist whim of mine seemed to be filled as I got into my long, pale gown and my hair got bedazzeed with the prettiest plasitc jewels... I felt like a princess as I left the house when I walked across the grass with my dress tattling behind me. Got into the car, and the next thing I know, I'm waving bye to my mom as I walk into the building where the prom was set up.
As I walk in I see the clock. 6:30. It was sunset outside and the fun had just begun. The music started, and I meet up with my dear friends.

They were such a wonderful bunch. There was so many of them to me, but thinking back, it was really only 7 or 8 of them with me at a time... we all meet I mean truly got to meet each other a few weeks before, at a conference that seemed like the perfect horror movie setting, and even though strange things happened, we managed to get through without incident with a smile on our face. many of them I knew before then, but that conference made all the difference...

I walked around, danced a little and chatted with everyone.

Hours passed, and I had still seen no sign of the boy I wanted to dance with.

In fact, as I remember it, it wasn't until 9:30 till I had caught sight of him coming in the door, but he was popular in the sense everybody knew him and liked him, so I had to wait a while to get a chance to chat with him.

My friends came up and they, who knew I liked him, giggled and teased as I waited for the crowd to fall back. Though the teasing was out of love, I was still a little embarresed, so by the time I fianlly made it up to him, I was red and a bit tired from laughing.

"Hey James" I said as calmy as I could.
"Oh there you are Tana! I couldn't find you! Where have you been hiding?"
"Oh, I've been around for a while. I wanted to ask you a favor. Before it's too late." It was almost 11.
" Really?"
" yes"
" What a coincidence, I wanted to ask you something too..."
" Really?"
" Yeah, but you ask first"
He had this look on his face, and It seemed like he had been wanting to tell somebody this for a very long time...
" No, you go first, mine can wait"
He smiled, as if to say 'you won't be dissapointed' and slowly pulled me toward the stage by the hand.

I had no idea what he was up to, nor could I have guess at that point, for I was so mesmerized by his look... It made me wonder... What is his Plan?

As quickly as he grabbed my hand, was just as quickly as he seemed to let go, and we were in front of the stage. It grew quiet and then he pulled up a chair, sat, and then he had his guitar!

What the le crap? I had no idea he was up to this!

Both him and me learned to play the guitar at the begininng of the school year, but in separete ways. I learned accousitc, he picked up electric. I learned by sheet music, he learned by ear. He played what he wanted, and I played what I was taught. He showed me a few things in the beginning, and then I got a private tutor, so we didn't converse much about it anymore. I didn't know he was going to play here though...

He started to speak so the audience would understand why he was up there, but I didn't hear him, as close as I was, myh mind was still trying to tinker this out by itself..... then I heard what I needed to hear
"My friends and I are playing tonight to try to win the mind of a girl who I like, but doesn't know it"

He can't be talking about me.... He just can't... I kept thinking.

But as he played, his guitar music made me shiver and sweat all at once. He played only a few moments, then passed off his guitar as the rest of them played and came right in front of me.

"May I Have this dance?"

I must have murmered something that sounded like yes, because we started slow dancing...

I finally got enough courage and sense to speak, but he got there first.

" You seem shocked"
"I can't belive you did"
"Did what"
" This. All of this. Liking me. The guitar music. The dancing. I just can't Belive you even gave a thought of a thought about liking me."
"What are you talking about? Why?"
"Because, I liked you....from the first moment I meet you"
"What are you talking about? Are you serious? Me too!"
" well of course you liked you, you're you..."
" no silly, I meant I liked you from that moment on too.."
"And we never knew" I giggled....
"nope, kinda funny isn't it?"
"yeah," I yawned, looked at the clock, it said 5 minutes to midnight.
" Am I boring you?"
" what? No! I'm just tired. I've been up all day getting ready for tonight"
" Well, why don't we finish this last slow dance and then things will go back to fast music....?You'll wake up then..."
" sounds like a plan to me" I was just glad he was anywhere near me....
I leaned my head onto his shoulder, well sorta, he was taller then me so yeah...

I was enjoying myself tunign out, when I felt it.....

This sensation.... like something bad was going to happen....
right here.... In this building, in this room, in my area.... What was it?

*sheeeeee-whof*

I heard it! Something slid down the curtains! I turned and looked, only to discover my horror.

What happens next, we all later refered to as "the awakining incident"

For when those things (yeah, there were a LOT more then1) which was an alien looking gobin type thingy tried to circle us, as if to grab us both, something, I wasn't sure what it was then, a powerful feeling which took over my whole body, awoke with a vengence. Now I was'nt very strong, fast, or mean before this, I didn't train, or even try to work out for it, but here's what happened:


I did a triple backflip and kicked 3 of them in the face, send them flying back in 3 different directions. " HOW DARE YOU!" I screamed, I knew I was no longer in control, and everybody else seemed to be able to tell too,. My voice was not only deeper, and more robotic sounding, but I was hovering 4 full feet off the floor.

(More later)

Chapter 3: The vistitors...


I woke up 17 days later in the 3rd floor of a hospital I knew very well with about a million flowers and things around me...

There was nobody allowed in when I first woke up because the doctors feared what I had done. I went through about 60 tests in one afternoon to make sure I wasn't irratiated. They told me that my chart said "comatose" and I wasn't expected to wake up again... ever.... but when I woke up so soon they were worried there was something else wrong but, after that I felt like I didn't care. I was just irked they thought I was brain dead....

But then my family came to see me first. My mom, dad, brothers, sister, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins even though very few of them live close...
They lavished me with hugs and love and each of them had to show me I made front page news across the world... I was told that they were bombarded by the press several times just trying to come and see me...

After them I rested for a bit but....

My friends came. Those Friends of new and old who weren't invovled in the incident came to see me. They giggled and chated with me about things that made no sense and were silly on every level....

But the last group to see me where those that were invovled... the victims of the incident. Those who were horrifed of the danger they had been in thanked me for saving them... Those who fled the scene and those who feared my power tried to make nice with me, hoping I WOULDN'T HARM THEM....

And those.... those extreme few who were touched by the aliens... The hostages...
my dear friends.... Had ALL been hospitalized. Every single one of them had gotten hurt. When I asked them what had happened, none of them would tell me. Those key people were all poisoned from it. The doctors said the level of energy being transfer for me to the others in the area was so intense it was lucky any one of them lived at all.... everyone of them were displaying signs of abnormalities as if they were poisoned in a way that was changing thier bodies.

So I thought was James...

As I driffted off to sleep that night, I had a dream he came to see me by himself on a dark rainy night.

He was as pale as a ghost, with about 20 tubes hooked up to him... little more then a human veggie.

Doctors said he was going to die because of me....

Because of the incident......

It was the saddest dream I had ever had.

"aww no, shh relax... don't cry.." I heard as I came to. "What?" I managed to sniffle out " You must've been having a terrible dream to be crying in your sleep"
They dried my eyes, so I put my glasses on to see who it was....

"Yeah, it was pretty bad, I was so....JAMES?"

He was fine.... prefectly fine, as if nothing had ever happened to him... he wasn't hurt or traumatized... he was normal.. perfectly normal..... What the hell was going on?

"Yeah" he said like it was new news "How do you feel?"

"Horrible, like I haven't eaten in days..."

He giggled as he placed a bag of Mickey D's on my lap "I kinda figured you'd been hungry for something high in calories after...."

" The incident....." I said as I tore into my hamburger " I feel so bad about it... I..hurt so many people... that should have never happened"

"What do you mean?" he perked up as he got up on the bed right next to me so he was lying right next to me.....

"It was my fault, I ruined eveything..."

"NO..." he said in the most serious voice I ever heard him use...

" 1) You didn't start it, you finished it
2) it was in no way your fault,
3) nobody could have predicted it, so there was no way to have prevented it

and 4) instead of calling it "the incident, why don't you try 'Revival acention' ?"
