Leila rubbed her hands together as she let put down her Cellphone. "Great, we'll be having a fun night at the Club a block away." she said to herself. It was about six O'clock in the evening, and in just half an hour, she, Sam and Arielle would be going to party. Leila had decided she'd be the Driver, thinking it may be wise if she stayed Sober. She wouldn't want to accidentally reveal that she's an Order member in front of her 'boyfriend' if you called then bf/gf yet. Leila wondered if they'd ever become one. They'd been hanging out, making out and going out for nearly two months.

Half an hour later. Leila was ready, with her hair down in big curls and a pretty, tight black dress ending mid-way to her knees. She had a pair of fancy black boots and a ton of silver jewelry to go with her silver handbag. All and all, she was ready for a night out with Sam and Arielle. She had called both of them earlier, informing them about everything, and now all she had to do was wait. She loved planning things, but keeping surprises weren't her thing. That was why both knew exactly where they'd be spending the evening.

She looked at herself in the Entrance Mirror, smiling at how the new Make-up she had bought herself a few days ago looked with her outfit. Silvery sparling eye shadow, black eyeliner and red lipstick. Perfect. She glanced behind her at the clock, it was now exactly Six Thirty. They should be here anytime now. Hopefully Arielle knew her way.

Nathan made his way around the Mansion, all the while thinking of how it was New Year's Eve tonight and he didn't have any plans. Well, that wasn't entirely true. At the moment he was taking care of his sick girlfriend, Ali. But that didn't technically count as plans. To Nathan right then though, having no plan was the best way to go.

Ali wasn't seriously sick just a stomach virus that would pass in a few days. Nathan still wanted to make her as comfortable as possible during her confinement. Which included the chicken noodle soup that Nathan was on his way to get and take back up to Ali's room.

As Nathan walked he started whistling and juggling balls of flame. He felt full of energy, he tried to burn off a small bit. At first there were only three spheres in a simple circle. As the walk continued the number of spheres grew along with the complexity of the pattern Nathan was weaving. It was truly a sight to see.

The path to the kitchen that Nathan took led him by the main entrance. Nathan saw that Leila was standing there, apparently waiting for someone to arrive. The fire elemental had not spoken to Leila in a while and decided that it wouldn't hurt to see how she had been.

"Hello Leila, how have you been?"

A Japanese boy with black hair stepped up to the front door of the mansion. Pausing a moment, he slicked the hair back and looked himself up and down. The black suit looked professional, from the neatly-shining shoes to the white dress shirt underneath. A reflective blue tie finished off the look, catching the light in zebra-striped patterns on his chest. With one final straighten, he opened the door. He wanted to look profession for his first meeting with the big boys.

"Hello, hello~" He stepped through the door, craning his neck for signs of another student... perhaps some faculty member he could contact to find out more about enrolling. His eyes fell on Leila, and a smile slipped across his lips. "Excuse me," he spoke, stepping up to the girl."Would you happen to know about enrolling in this school?"

"Alrighty then....everything is looking spectacular.." Arielle smiled, gazing over herself in the new dress she had purchased from her shopping trip with Leila. So far her stay in the states has been pleasant. Besides the little misunderstandings that occurred this morning, Arielle had a blast with Leila. She found the girl to be really entertaining, fun and they shared a lot of the same interests. She was looking forward to hanging with Sam too.

"It's just a shame he won't be feelin up on all this booty..." the Brazilian sighed poking her behind out in the mirror. "Meh, he wouldn't be able to handle it anyway. Ahaha, get it girl, you are looking too good tonight!" she laughed dancing a bit in her matching purple stiletto heels.

With a brief interruption after receiving a phone call from Leila of their party destination, Arielle continued dressing with some last finish touch ups. Draping her wrists in multiple white gold bracelets, make-up done, white gold necklace and earrings worn and her hair curled and pumped up a bit for volume, Arielle grabbed her miniature purple purse and descended down the steps of the mansion towards the front entrance.

"I'm ready," she waved to Leila standing near the door, but paused as she saw another person standing next to the blonde. A tall, brunette man, and of course he just had to have muscles and be a looker, just like Sam was.

"Ok..." Arielle sighed taking a deep breath remembering the events of this past morning. "I mean, I'm not complaining but, are there any ugly men around here. I mean, jesus, everyone guy in here looks like an underwear model..." she trailed off and scurried down the steeps, carefully though. It would be a tragedy to trip on her face in front of the newly discovered hottie. She walked over and paused in front of Nathan. Instincts told her to star flirting and feeling, but then she looked at Leila and remembered the Sam situation.

"You know what...it's not even worth going through the trouble. I can already tell that you're claimed. You're too sexy not to have been snatched up." she sulked a bit on the inside but continued to give Nathan a smile.

"On the plus side, it's always nice to have lots muscled guy friends. Then you can beat up any guys who break my heart...that is, if I haven't done it myself yet. So, with that said, My name is Arielle." she winked to Nathan, and have him a small tap on his shoulder with her fist, not paying any attention to the new arrival speaking with Leila.

Feeling clean was a feeling Sam loved; nothing beat a hot shower after a few hours of practice to get ready for the night. Walking out of his shower and into his room Sam grabbed his towel and dried off all the while singing a song that he had stuck in his head, “Operator, can you help me place this call?” Sam whistled the melody as he grabbed his deodorant and then his hair gel and then started to spike his hair.

Continuing to sing Sam put on his clothes that were worn for special events. The tie less suit did look good on him thought Sam as he smiled as he filled his pockets with everything he needed for the night. “See the number on the match book is old and faded…” Sam walked out of his room swinging his set of keys around his finger and pulled the door shut and then followed it up by locking his room and icing the door to the frame.

Some would call Sam paranoid but after the Blake break in Sam didn’t think it was too unreasonable. After his entire door was locked and then broken in to.

Shaking his head from that bad memory Sam continued to sing a he walked down the hallways, still singing only this time it was quieter than it was before. “She’s living in L.A. with my best old x friend Ray, guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated…”

Walking to the front door Sam noticed a group of people the first one didn’t seem to familiar but then he noticed Nathan Arielle and Leila. A large grin came over Sam’s face as he noticed what she was wearing. Sam let out a large and loud wolf whistle as he walked over to Leila and kissed her. “Hey Nathan,” said Sam after he finished kissing his girl. Sam then waved to Arielle and said, “Don’t think you’ll have any problems picking up some guy tonight.” He finished it with a grin and then looked over to the new guy.

Sam gave him a look over and offered his hand, “Names Sam, need some help guy?” Sam asked noting his clothing.

Oh, I see. Tetsuya nearly snapped his fingers in disappointment. “Yes, thank you. I’m new here, and…” He scratched his cheek nervously. “I was wondering if one of you would be able to help me. See, I want to enlist… no, enlist isn’t the word. Enroll! Yes, that’s it. Sorry, English isn’t my first language…”

His eyes shifted to the other girl, and the boy. They were both dressed nicely too. He made a mental note: They must be going to a party. Nobody dressed that fine on a daily basis, other than him~

“My name’s Tetsuya Shinbo, by the way.” He added as an after-thought. “But you all can call me ‘Shin’.”

Leila grinned as she heard a familiar voice. It wasn't Sam, nor was it Arielle, but it was still someone she enjoyed. "Hey Nathan! I'm great, just waiting for Sam and a Arielle, a new friend." she said, waving her hand enthousiastically. "I haven't seen you in a while, how have you been?" she asked. Before long, a new voice she had never heard before could be heard from the Entrance. Before she could say much more then a 'Hello' Arielle and Sam joined in.

Leila returned Sam's kiss, keeping a hold of his hand as he released her. "I'd say you look good tonight, but you always do." she told him. She listened as Sam started speaking to everyone else, taking charge of Tetsuya's arrival. She started feeling a little agitated, knowing that her scheduale was getting messed up. "I'm Leila." she said, introducing herself to Shin. "This is Nathan and Arielle." she pointed at the two others.

Could Nathan somehow take this kid and show him around? Because Leila wanted to get a move on. Not that Shin wasn't pleasant, just that Partying was a little funner on New Year's Eve. "Look, Shin, were kind of in a hurry right now. No offence or anything." she said, "Do you think, Nathan, you cuold help him out?" she asked. "Or... Do you want to do it?" she turned to Sam, a small pout upon her face.

Nathan was kind of startled when it seemed everyone started to come out of no where. First a man appeared at the door, introducing himself as Shin. There was a young girl who was wearing a revealing dress who said her name was Arielle. Nathan wasn't sure what to make of her comment just yet. But it sounded out of place but it sounded sincere. The elemental decided to take it as a compliment.

Nathan turned to Arielle as he spoke, "Yes, I am taken. Sorry to dissappoint you. But yeah, if you ever need some furniture moved, or a fire started I am definitely your guy." Nathan offered Sam greetings. "Hey Sam."

After catching the pouty lip that Leila directed at Sam, Nathan addressed Leila. "Yeah, sure. I can get him settled in for you. You guys can go ahead and head out if you want."

Arielle turned from Nathan and gave a small wave to Shin as Leila had introduced the two. "I like Asian..." she remarked giving the new arrival an approving smirk. Though Shin may not have been as buff as Sam and Nathan, he was a cutie just the same. Plus he was new, which means she could get first dibs. She had been fed up with the buffet of beefcake being devoured and emptied by the girls who had arrived before her. It was time for her to take a stand and claim hers. Or at least put it on layaway. She had other things to do that night.

"Look, Shin, we're kind of in a hurry right now. No offense or anything." Leila said, "Do you think, Nathan, you could help him out?" she asked. "Or... Do you want to do it?" she turned to Sam, a small pout upon her face.


Arielle waited for the men's responses. Nathan spoke first, taking on the task of getting Shin settled in.

"Yeah, sure. I can get him settled in for you. You guys can go ahead and head out if you want."

"Awesome! From here on out, if you ever need anything, holla at ya girl. You are my new homie," she laughed giving Nathan a friendly tap on the arm with her fist.

"Now, I'd like to get a move on as soon as possible as well. Wearing these heels do get tiring after time and I'd like to use them out on the dance floor before they start hurting. Not standing around here."she sighed crossing her arms and tapping her foot impatiently. But of course she wore her usual humble smile.

Sam smiled at the guy noticing his hand still in Leila’s hand. “Well Shin,” Sam said smiling, “I am one of the people that can help you out but tonight I fear I will be off duty.” He patted Shin on the back, “But there are tons of people here that can help you out.” Sam pointed to Nathan, “He can help if you like or, if you would prefer I you can wait till tomorrow.” Sam hoped that the idea wouldn’t be too troublesome with Nathan.

Feeling slightly like a jerk Sam then said, “Or if you would rather we are about to go to this huge party and I am sure you could come if you like.” Sam looked to Nathan and then the now pouting Leila again and said, “I am sure Nathan had plans before right?” Sam finished the sentence looking at Nathan. “It is New Years Eve after all, sides think we might need someone to keep an eye on Arielle anyways!” Sam said smiling playfully at Arielle.

Waiting for someone to say something or do something Sam decided he let the others decided what was going on for the night. He already had plans to spend the night with Leila but, he had a feeling that he would at some point have to keep an eye on Arielle as well if she is a hard partier like she claims. The fact that he invited Shin for this was a little selfish but he had a good excuse he wanted to spend all night with Leila with no distractions. But odds are that wasn’t going t happen.

Shin nodded in understanding. “To be shown around and disrupt another’s plans, or to go to a party and have fun. Yes, it is a rather difficult decision to make.” He smiled at Nathan. “If it isn’t too much trouble, mind if I tagged along? I don’t want to be a third… no wait,” he paused, counting… “Fourth wheel, but a New Year’s Eve party sounds too good to pass up.”

He quirked an eyebrow at Arielle’s ‘I like Asian’ comment, filing it under ‘miscellaneous tidbit for later’. She certainly wasn’t hard on the eyes.

Nathan heard Arielle's saying that now she was his home girl and he couldn't resist making a comment on it. "Well, you might have to be just a girl because I'm not sure how Ali would feel about me having a home girl."

Nathan wasn't the least surprised or offended when Shin accepted the invitation to go out and party. Thinking of Ali, Nathan remembered that he came down to get her some soup. "I'll see you guys later then. Have fun and stuff."And with that Nathan left to retreive the soup that brought him there.

Leila kept to herself as the small talk continued. "Yeah Shin, Arielle may need a dancing partner afterall." Leila said, slightly hopeful that her new friend may not be dancing alone afterall. Though, surely she had definately not planned on it, as any boy, Human or Mutant, would have trouble keeping his eyes of her.

The goos thing was, with Shin maybe involved in this plan of theirs, Leila could have Sam all to herself. Something she really enjoyed thinking about. Sam holding her tight as they danced, a little bit of booze inside them to hype them up a little more then usual. Yeah, this did sound nice. Well, maybe Leila would keep herself from drinking tonight. She was sure the others would, so they'd need a driver, wouldn't they? Plus, she didn't want to get drunk and forget whatever may happen tonight.

"And I thought Sam was supposed to be the cold one..." Arielle's smile disappeared into a neutral expression after hearing Nathan's response. Whoever this Ali was, she prayed that she wasn't one of those crazy chicks who couldn't take the thought of their guy socializing with other women and having female friends. Or maybe Nathan was just paranoid for no reason. Understandable since she did just make a little indirect pass at him. In fact, Arielle found it cute that the fire elemental considered the feelings of his girlfriend. Not many guys did these days. She didn't sweat it as she knew that once they get to know each other, Arielle and Nathan would become good friends and hopefully, she'll become friends with this Ali he spoke of as well. Besides, she had better things at the present to concentrate on.

"Hmm..." Arielle hummed to herself scanning Shin up and down and moved around the asian giving him a through look over.

"Just looking to make sure you're fit enough to dance with me. I wouldn't want to break you. It'd feel awful sending such a cutie to the hospital." she smiled to Shin, offering the young man her hand. "Shall we?"

Sam nodded slightly relived that Arielle approved a Shin. Clapping Shin on the back laughing, “Guess you pass the test Shin congrats!” he let out a sly grin directed towards Leila and Nathan and then waved to Nathan, “Night buddy, don’t wait up!”

Sam walked over to the door and opened it and made a small arm gesture, “Ladies first” Sam said grinning. He was ready to go to this long awaited party. He waited for Leila’s lead considering she knew where the party was and she was driving.

It occurred to Sam that he wasn’t sure if Leila knew he was nineteen and not twenty-one. Shrugging Sam felt for his wallet and smiled, ‘got one of my alias in here’ thought Sam as he was sure if he was going to party for the night it would be a must to bring in the new year the right way!
