Here is a new chapter of my story, "House of Pullip" :D
Chapter 81:
*Annike and Lucas arrive at the ball*
Ronan: Welcome! I am glad you could attend my ball, please enjoy yourselves.
Annike: Oh…there are not many people here yet, I think we are early.
Ronan: Do not worry, the others will arrive soon.
Lucas: Yeah, Nika, it’s no big deal.
*Ronan walks off, Annike and Lucas wander aimlessly*
Annike: This looks nice.
Lucas: Yeah…not the kind of thing I’m really used to though.
Annike: Not wild enough for you?
Lucas: Heh, something like that.
*A new song begins*
Lucas: Hey, Nika, let’s dance.
Annike: You like dancing to this kind of music?
Lucas: Not really…but for you, I’ll do just about anything.
Annike: Stop trying to butter me up. But I’d love to dance.
*They dance*
Annike: I wonder…
Lucas: About what?
Annike: Well…I didn’t think you were interested in me…and then suddenly you are.
Lucas: *smiles*
Annike: What?
Lucas: I’ve always liked you, Nika, I thought you knew.
Annike: What?
Lucas: Yeah!
Annike: I didn’t know that.
Lucas: Remember when I joined the band and left without saying goodbye? I couldn’t face you and I knew it would hurt too much to leave you. I know it was thoughtless, but it was easier to leave without seeing you.
Annike: *speechless*
Lucas: Nika?
Annike: You should have told me.
Lucas: Aw, come on. I was 18 and stupid, what do you expect? I won’t say I’m less stupid now, but at least I know I don’t want to make the same mistake twice.
Annike: I can’t promise anything, you know that, right?
Lucas: I know, but I can still try.
Annike: *laughs* You can be sweet when you really try…I’ll give you that much.
*The song ends, they stop dancing and sit for a while*
*Sabrina approaches*
Sabrina: Well, hello there, hot stuff.
Lucas: Uh…
Annike: ???
Sabrina: Will you dance with me?
Lucas: Uh…well…I’m here with a date.
Annike: Oh…it’s okay, Lucas. If you want to dance with her, go ahead.
Lucas: Are you sure?
Annike: Yes.
Sabrina: Come on then.
*Sabrina drags Lucas to dance before he can protest*
Sabrina: *smiles seductively*
Lucas: …
Sabrina: Someone’s quiet.
Lucas: What should I say, babe?
Sabrina: Tell me about your date…is she my competition?
Lucas: *sigh* It’s not a competition. I’ve liked her for a long time.
Sabrina: And you were flirting with me at the same time, how fun!
Lucas: That’s all it was-flirting.
Sabrina: So you don’t find me attractive at all?
Lucas: I didn’t say that.
Sabrina: Oh, good…come with me.
Lucas: I don’t think that’s a good idea.
Sabrina: I just want to show you something, come on!
*Sabrina drags Lucas away*
Annike: I wonder where they are going? *suspicious*
To be continued...
Please forgive my use of doll stands, I don't normally like to use them when making photo stories because I like it to look as realistic as possible. I tried to make them as inconspicuous as possible, just try to ignore that they are there :D
And, by the way, it's my Birthday today...I'm *cough, cough* years old! :P
