Bunny hummed as she walked through the multiple bodies at the dance. She was so glad that she chose to shave her head one last time for the dance, it would get so hot. She had decided that she was going to let it grow out again though...that way she can mess around with some styles, though it would take forever for it to grow back completely. Too bad her mother wouldn't see it. Bunny rolled her eyes at that thought, she had completely renounced her mother, and ignored her father and his trying to get back on good terms. She finally had a job, and was pulling good enough grades to be able to stay in school. Now to find her date for the evening. Of course she had read the shark tank, and she still wondered if Christian did just ask her because he felt bad for her...but she hoped her would at least tell her if that was the case...right?
Richard fixed his cuff-links on his jacket before slicking back his hair more. He had trimmed his normally long hair for the dance, it would take some getting used to but it worked. It was much shorter now, but still wavy and hung around his ears. He fastened his mask on before heading down to the dance. He was ready. Ever since that night at the Hookah lounge Richard couldn't stop thinking of Syra. Sure she was much younger than him, but once someone gets out of high school, age doesn't really matter.

Christian was looking around for Bunny curiously, wondering just where she had gotten to. He hadn't seen the Shark Tank, so he had no idea what had been said. When he finally saw her, a smile grew on his face. He walked behind her and grinned. "Hey Babe." He said, leaning forward and whispering in her ear.
Syra was waiting for Richard outside the doors of the dance, playing with a strand of her hair. Part of her was nervous that she might have been ditched, though on the inside she knew that would have never happened.

Bunny spun around and grinned, biting her lopsided lip subconsciously. "Hey! I was just looking for you!" she said while flinging her arms around him in a hug. She quickly let go and held up her hands. "Look! The marks are almost gone!" she said with a proud smile. The little crescents that had been there when they first talked about the dance were finally fading. Of course, now that the red and irritation was completely gone, the scars of many other stressed induced finger-nail gouging jags could be seen, but they were completely normal for her to see them.
Richard smiled as he saw Syra standing outside the doors. "Hey, have you been waiting long? I'm sorry I'm late." he said as he hurried over and leaned down to kiss her cheek gently. "I didn't mean to make you wait." he said with a small frown.

Christian grinned when she hugged him and smiled down at her proudly when she showed him her arms. He hated seeing the scars, but at least seeing all of that meant improvement. "That's wonderful sweety." He leaned down and kissed her forehead.
Syra smiled when she saw Richard, her smile growing when she felt his lips against her cheeks. "I've only been here a couple minutes, so no worries." She leaned up and returned his kiss. "You cut your hair." She mused, reaching up and tracing her fingers along his ear, gently touching his hair.

Bunny blushed and giggled self-consciously. She loved it when someone kissed her on the forehead, even though she found it weird herself, she couldn't get enough of it. "So...what do you want to do?" she asked, going to roll on the heels of her feet, before remembering she was wearing High Heels. She caught herself before stumbling backwards onto her butt.
Richard nodded. "Yeah, I figured a little bit of a change might be welcome for something like this. Plus, it's only hair...it's grow back." he said with a smile as he held out a arm for her to take. "Shall we, m'lady?"

Christian quickly slipped his arms around her waist so she wouldn't fall and smiled. "Well it's a dance, so how about we dance?" He asked with a smile.
"Hair is a great thing." She laughed and playfully flipped her blue locks over her shoulder then wrapped her arms around his, giggling softly. "We shall."

Bunny giggled and nodded vigorously. "Let's do that!" She straightened up before grabbing Christian's hand and pulling him into the group of dancing people.
Richard smiled as he pushed the door open for them to walk through. "Welcome to the masquerade."he said with a fake deep voice and a laugh as he swept his arm around the room.

He laughed softly and followed her. He pulled her close and started to dance to the beat of the music. "You look beautiful Bunny."
Syra laughed softly, but suddenly froze up, looking at all the masks. Everything started to become a blur as she started to hyperventilate. She thought that she would be able to overlook the masks and not be bothered, but now, being here, seeing it all, mad her feel sick to her stomach, bringing back memories of her past.

Bunny blushed, hitting him on his chest gently. "Oh stop it, you're making me blush." she giggled as she followed suit and started dancing with him.
Richard frowned as he turned to look at her. "Syra? Syra, are you okay." he quickly stepped in front of her to block the view of the people in the room. He guided her backwards to the wall and stood there, keeping a fair amount of distance, but as close he as felt was possible. "Syra, talk to me, what's wrong." he asked softly, his hand reaching up to gently brush some hair from her face.
((I'm going to head off to bed. I'll be back tomorrow.))

"Which just makes you cuter." He grinned at her and danced, playfully pulling her closer by her hips.
Syra shook her head, tears pricking her eyes. "I-I can't go in there," She choked out, "I thought that I could, but, I can't!" She squeezed her eyes shut. "It's too much!"

Bunny blushed even harder. "Well, you look very handsome tonight." she said softly, trying to counter and take attention away from herself.
Richard nodded. "Alright, come on..." he said softly. He took her hand in his and gently pulled her from the room. "Come on Syra, lets go." he whispered. He led them outside, were the cool air hit their skin. "Come on, lets sit down." he said, trying to coax her into sitting against the stone of the building they just left.

Christian blushed lightly, but it was hidden by his mask. "Thank you Bun, I was trying to be more creative with this whole masquerade thing."
Syra took deep, shaky breaths as she followed him out. She leaned heavily against the building and squeezed her eyes shut, trying to banish the thoughts from her mind.

Bunny giggled as she reached up and tapped his hat. "I love it. Isn't that the whole point of the masquerade thing? To be creative?" she asked with a smile.
Richard kneeled in front of her. "Here, sit down." he whispered softly, taking her hands and holding them in his softly, making sure she knew she had an out if she needed it.

He chuckled and grinned at her. "Yup, though some people just put on normal black masks." He rolled his eyes then reached up and lightly touched the edges of her mask. "I like yours too."
"Sorry." She finally whispered and bit her lower lip. "I thought I could handle it...but...I couldn't."

Bunny ducked her head. "Oh, thank you. It doesn't really match the dress, but it was the best I could find." she said with a soft self-conscious smile.
Richard smiled sadly. "Don't worry about it." he said softly. He made calming noises in the back of his throat, trying to help sooth the distraught girl.

"I think it's perfect." He smiled at her then gently wrapped his arms around her. "You look great to me."
Syra wriggled her hands out of his and wrapped her arms around Richard tightly, hiding her face against his neck.

Bunny blushed once again. "Oh my gosh you have effectively reduced me into a pile of mush." she said while hiding her face in his chest. She waited a moment to calm down before pulling back.
Richard gently wrapped his arms around her. He hummed softly as he turned his face into her hair, breathing in her scent. He starting humming a song his mother always used to sing to him when he was little, trying to calm to younger girl down.

Christian grinned. "Is that a good thing?" He asked teasingly. "I can hold you up if you're too weak in the knee's."
Syra listened to him and slowly relaxed, holding onto his waist.

Bunny laughed. "Sometimes it is a good thing, sometimes not so much." she said, sticking out her tongue. Her mood suddenly dampened slightly when she was reminded of the shark tank post that was published a few days before.
Richard smiled softly, "Everything is alright." he whispered to her gently.

Christian laughed softly and looked back at her, catching her mood change. "Hey sweety...are you okay?" He asked softly.
Syra slowly pulled her head back and rubbed her eyes. "For now..." She whispered softly.
