The Yule Ball

read the story before you jump in please.

Descartes laughed softly. (Where's Elrohir again?) He then frowned. Sonia had her normal skin tone back, but something seemed wrong.

Elrohir rubbed his eyes and looked up at Descartes and Maik rather grumpily.
"What'd you two wake her up for?"
"I had nothing to do with it." Maik replied stoutly. "I blame Descartes."
Elrohir looked to Descartes and noticed his frowning.
"Something the matter Descartes?"

"Something's. . . .out of place." He didn't look like he believed everything was okay. Shaking it off he smiled. "Maybe I'm just tired as well."

"And maybe the sun will rise green tomorrow too." Maik thought to herself. Elrohir looked as though he believed Descartes so she kept her thoughts to herself.
"Well if you're tired, maybe we should go, you need your rest." She said out loud.

Descartes turned to Maik. "You're right."

"You two behave yourselves." Maik told Elrohir and Sonia, pointing a finger severely at Elrohir. He shrank back in his chair and assured her he would be good and Maik started steering Descartes from the room again.

Descartes followed Maik. "She's not her." he says.

"What do you mean?" Maik asked. "She seemed normal to me."

"Maybe I am being to comprehensive?" Descartes suggested.

"Doesn't seem likely." Maik said, raising an eyebrow. "What did you mean, she's not her?"

"She seems different. She's not herself." Descartes sighed.

"Could that be just because she's sick?" Maik asked

"Maybe." Descartes says. "I'm hungry. Where's the nearest decent restaurant?"

Maik shrugged. "Over there is a good one." She waved her hand at the wall in the general direction of the resturant she was thinking of. "Not too long of a walk I think."

Descartes nodded. "Let's go." He says smiling.

Maik smiled and took Descartes' hand, leading the way to the resturant and looking for a place to sit.

Descartes smiled. He also had a huge secret. He wondered if he could tell Maik. . .more importantly should he?

Maik looked around the resturant for a good place to sit and nudged Descartes to ask him his opinion.
"Where should we sit? And why are you smiling like that? You been up to something?"

omg this thing is still going *shoots self in head*
