Emma sat frozen in the tree when suddenly the familiar sound of a specific speech pattern called up to her. "Shit. Shit, shit, shit.", she thought to herself. She had been found. "Dammit.", she thought as she tried to figure out what the hell to do next.

Emma called down, "It's pretty comfortable up here. I think I'll stay for a while. And ya know what they say about karma, don't ya? You got what you deserved. Crazy ass tryin to pull a knife on me." Emma knew that by saying that she probably ticked her off, but she was being honest. You had to be able to defend yourself somehow. And it was in cases like this that she kinda liked her mutation.

She looked around at some the limbs and branches around her. She was trying to devise a plan to maybe manage to jump from one tree to another or any means to keep from having to climb down and deal with her. Emma could try to attempt using her kick boxing skills to get away, but because she had Jack's power, she was now a whole hell of a lot taller than Emma. On top of that, her carapace would be hard to penetrate some sort of pain unless she managed to grab her antennae or something.

Emma sat there contemplating her next moves. It was either wait or attempt some crazy ass idea. It all depended on the now shrimp lady's next moves as well.

Emma was enjoying being able to show off her moves to Ranger. And she was having the most fun dancing with him tonight. Usually she didn't get to dance like this, considering most of the people she got to dance with couldn't handle the maneuvers that they were doing right now. He even said that she danced better than most people back home, which made her blush. She didn't tell him that Texas was one of the states that she and her Mother lived in after leaving her dad. They actually stayed in Texas for about three months. She visited quite a few dance halls there so it really helped her improve her two stepping.

Emma was let out for one more spin when suddenly a couple bumped into Ranger. He didn't budge, but one of the couple still had momentum and came bumping into Emma. The bump was unexpected as it happened during the middle of her spin and it knocked her off balance. She looked behind her as she was falling and saw that there was a very big and indeed real cactus in the spot she was about to land.

Emma panicked, accidentally shooting a power out of her hand at the same moment Ranger grabbed her wrist. She grabbed onto him hurriedly, trying to stop her fall. He pulled her back quickly enough to save her from the cactus. Emma let go of the breath she didn't realize she was holding and regained her composure. She stood there for a moment as she tried to calm her heart rate back to normal.

As clarity came back to her mind, she realized that she had shot out a power in her panicked moment. She looked around the area and didn't see anyone freaking out or shifting into something so she relaxed a bit more. It seems that it must have shot past or over people and wasn't passed on to anyone. Emma breathed a sigh of relief and thanked God for missing.

Ranger spoke to her and Emma chuckled lightly saying, "Yeah, let's not. But I do have to say that it was a nice save. I thought I was going to be a human pin cushion there for a moment." Then, Emma watched as Ranger then proded the guy on the floor who had bumped into them and told him to watch were he was dancing. Emma leaned over to Ranger and said, "How about a beer? You saved my life so I at least owe you that. Then we can go back to dancing?"

Emma woke up early to get ready for the day. She had picked out something cute, but still within normal wear, which just meant that she put on a more low cut and tight fitting t-shirt. She still wore her leather jacket and jeans with some decent hiking boots on. She had plans for the date she was going on with Jack today and wanted to be well equipped. She curled her hair into some nice waves and brought a bag with a couple big bottles of water, some snacks, and a big blanket, in case they wanted to take a break and sit down somewhere.

She wanted to make a good impression today. She hadn't specifically asked Jack on a date for today, but it's kinda what she intended when she set the meeting up today through text. She also left some details in the text ambiguous so that she could surprise Jack with their activities.

Emma finally got finished with everything and left her apartment with plenty of time to get to the ferry docks. She took a cab for most of the way and then walked the rest. She stopped and grabbed them both something warm to drink before heading to the dock area. When she got to the docks, it was about a quarter until 9 and she could already see Jack sitting on a partition waiting for her. Emma smiled as she grew closer to her, hopefully soon to be, sexy lady.

Emma smiled as she saw Jack. She was always happy when she got to see her. As Emma approached Jack, she handed her the blanket and warm beverage. "How long have you been here? You look kinda cold. I hope you haven't been here freezing your butt off and waiting too long for me.", Emma said as she pulled the blanket closer around Jack and rubbed her thigh as if to try and warm her. "Are you ready to have some fun today? Hopefully it won't feel as cold on the island or the winds will die down soon.", Emma said excitedly.

Emma sipped on her coffee and stayed there with Jack until it was time to ride the ferry.

Emma danced with Ranger and nodded when he said that his dance partner probably wouldn't be back tonight. Though when he adapted the new tone as if he was in front of some higher authroity, Emma laughed hard. She caught her breath and smiled wide at Ranger. "I'm not the government and I wouldn't wanna get you in trouble with her, but does she dance really well too. I mean better than most people around here?", Emma asked.

Emma knew that she would be able to show off her moves soon based on the progression of the song. Ranger asked where she was from and Emma replied with, "I'm originally from Washington, but we moved around a lot in the last few years."

Emma caught wind of the chorus starting again as Ranger motioned and said it was time to break out the good moves. Emma smirked again at him before moving to the first spins after he opened his hand. After the spins, Emma then began to jitterbug with more aerial moves intertwined with a few pretzels and dips. She truly showed Ranger the best moves she knew. She smiled as she was having a really good time. She only hoped that the drunks would stay off the dance floor or that she wouldn't somehow get bumped into a cactus. That would totally suck and she would hate to make a fool of herself in front of Ranger.

Emma smiled as she felt Jack's muzzle against the top of her head. She watched as Jack walked over to the hallway and started taking the dress off. She finally got it off and then struck a pose. Emma smirked, chuckled slightly. She got off the couch and promptly walked over to Jack, slapping her on her butt on her way into the laundry room.

Emma grabbed the dried clothes that belonged to Jack and brought them out to her. She smiled as she said, "I definitely like seeing your iridescent side. And I enjoyed spending time with you. I know you have to go home sooner or later, but could I have your number so I could see you again sometime?" Emma looked into Jack's eyes as she said so. She held the clothes out to Jack and took the maxi dress back from her.

Emma stepped back some so Jack could get dressed, but she watched the iridescent places around Jack's body light up as she moved. Emma bit her lip, still taking her all in and the tingly feeling still running all over her body. Jack may not be in a human form anymore, but that didn't change how Emma felt. If anything, it made Emma appreciate her more. It made her wanna work harder to earn her trust and affections.

Emma replied, "I'm not sure. I'm still trying to understand how my power works and all the mechanics of it. If I could have figured it all out by myself without having to use it on someone else, I would have by now. But that's not how it works." Emma hung her head and apologized again. After a few moments as the other two exchanged conversation, Emma then said, "Well, I guess this way I can stick around and learn about any constraints my power may have. So you are kinda helping me in a way."

Emma kinda just stood there with them, wondering what they were going to do next. The gargoyle lady was trying to tell the usual canine shifter about being light sensitive and needing sunglasses to keep from having a migraine. Emma piped up, "If you don't have sunglasses, I think I have some with me in my bag. You can use them if you'd like. I don't know what else I can do to help, but I'll try and do what I can."

Emma dug around in her bag for a moment and brought out her pair of sunglasses. They were slightly feminine shaped, but not overly girly. She offered them to the newly garoyled man and hoped that he would accept her help and not hold hurt feelings toward her.

Emma smiled and blushed slightly as Ranger complimented her dancing. And then she smirked mischievously at him as he added that challenge to the end of the compliment. Emma then contemplated the moves she'd use the next time he let her out to jitterbug.

Emma nodded as she talked with Ranger and learned that his other half had been called away. She was glad that they had gotten to dance a little bit before she had to go. No one likes having to bail out on a date early, but she was glad she could keep Ranger company in the meantime. They continued to two step through the next verse.

"Maybe she'll be back before too long and I can see how y'all dance together.", Emma said. Then she quirked up as the thought entered her mind, "Though I have to wonder now, does she dance better than me? You'll let me know after a few dances, won't you?", she asked in a flirty and playful tone.

When Ranger asked about her dance partner, Emma told him about how she had taken all the dance classes her high school offered and had taken quite a few in college too as well as her courses in kick boxing. "So I don't really have a regular dance partner. I had a few back home, but it was mostly for class. I really enjoyed it though so I come out to go dancing when I get the chance to take myself out. And I just dance with anyone who asks, generally, unless they seem super creepy. Then I try to politely pass. I usually don't get to break out my good moves, but it's okay. I just try to have fun."
