Red. That one word sums up most of Scarlett's room. As you walk through the door you step onto a thick red carpet. Walls are painted white, though you don't see much of the wallpaper. In one corner lies a metal bunkbed. The bunk's covers are plain red. Instead of a bed on the bottom there is a red sofa that is opposite to a widescreen TV. Across from the bed is a pinewood desk on which there is a laptop and an ever present pile of books. Wardrobe is walk in with the doors painted white. Most of Scarlett's walls are covered in posters of foxes and falcons. Underneath a mirror that hangs on the wall nearest the door is a small table with an iPod docking station and speakers on it. Curtains are red velvet and the window is always open.

When two pairs of pawprints became one....

...it was then that i carried you...

It had been a long week, but Dmitri was more than ready for this. He dressed very nice for this, putting on his best black pants, shoes, and his blue plaid shirt with a solid blue tie. He kept it casual by putting a silver chain on his pants, and made his hair lay relatively flat. He even bought her some pink lillies and a box of chocolate, hoping she'd like it. Once he got where her room was, he told her he'd meet her there, so now he'd knocked on her door, waiting anxiously. Wherever she wanted to go, he'd take her.

Scarlett had been holed up in her room for about two hours getting ready for her date. Being herself, Scarlett had changed outfits many times but had now settled on a favourite outfit of hers. Feet were covered by red ballet pumps, plain and simple. Moving upwards her legs were uncovered by jeans or leggings. Instead she wore a strapless, short red dress. Her long red hair was left loose with asimple white alice band which set off her hairstyle. Scarlett picked up a pair of earrings, simple red studs and carefully put them on. The female turned around to look at her reflection, expecting the worst. Well. At least she didn't look too awful. Scarlett bent down and picked up her red handbag and stuffed her purse and mobile phone in there.

Knock! Knock! Scarlett breathed in deeply and walked over to the door. Scarlett pulled it open, smilnig shyly. "Hi Dmitri,"

[/color] she said nervously.

ooc;; here's what she's wearing. dress, minus the leggings and the shoes are red, handbag and hairband

When she opened the door, a grin spread across his face, giving her a respectable look over. "Hey Scarlett. You look lovely," he nodded with approval. It was almost as if he forgot about her gifts in his arms until he felt his arms behind his back still laden. "Oh! I bought these for you..." he said meekly, handing over the flowers and chocolate. "I hope you like them. I got pink because they reminded me of your fox form. And I thought they'd look pretty in your room... And I heard girls like chocolate," he added with a chuckle. This was more nerve-racking than he thought it would be. Well, it had been a little while since he went on a date and he wanted to make a great impression on Scarlett. He was really hoping that everything went well tonight. He counted on it.

Scarlett smiled more widely when Dmitri complimented her appearance. She had been worrying all evening about whether Dmitri would like her outfit. "Oh! I bought these for you..." Scarlett listened in surprise as Dmitri spoke. The female smiled happily as Dmitri handed over a box of chocolate and some pink lillies. Slim fingers took them carefully, anxious not to injure the flowers in some way. Head bent to inhale the sweet scent of the lillies. Scarlett looked up, an expression of pure happiness on her face. "I hope you like them. I got pink because they reminded me of your fox form. And I thought they'd look pretty in your room... And I heard girls like chocolate" Scarlett listened in elation. "They're great. And your right, girls do love chocolate,"

[/color] she said happily, eyes shining. "One second..."[/color] she added, diving back into her room. Scarlett placed the lillies in the empty, red swirly vase that took up residence on her windowsill. In one swift movement she placed the box of chocolate on the couch that lay under her bed. All this happened in around thirty seconds. Scarlett turned and went back to the door where Dmitri stood. "So... where do you want to go?"[/color] she asked brightly.

ooc;; Aww. I absolutely love Scarlett and Dmitri. <3

The way her eyes lit up at the sight of the flowers and chocolate was enough to send Dmitri over the moon and back again. He was so elated that she actually loved her gifts that he made a mental note to just send her random things from now on, if it meant he could see that smile that much more often. They were hitting it off so quickly that he was in blissful shock. Who would hve known his luck would have been enough to snag him such a beautiful little vixen? Pun intended.

He waited patiently for her to put the flowers and everything in her room, surprised by the quickness in her step. Inwardly, he was really nervous about their date, praying that everything kept going smoothly as it was so far. His eyes lit up as soon as she came back and he walked closer to take her hand and kiss the back of it before wrapping it around his arm. "It's ladies' choice. We could go to dinner first if that helps."

Scarlett beamed even more brightly as Dmitri kissed the back of her hand. Gosh, she'd do anything to get Dmitri to kiss her again. Scarlett melted into Dmitri's arm, amazed at how right it felt. To be honest she was amazed that everything was going so well so far. "It's ladies' choice. We could go to dinner first if that helps." Scarlett nodded "Sure! I know a great place down Shepherd's Way. It's cheap but the food is fantastic,"

[/color] she suggested, casting her mind back. That was where her parents had stopped to have one last dinner with her before she went to Solstice. Scarlett sighed quietly, remembering those precious last moments with her parents. Shaking herself inwardly, Scarlett forced a smile. Tonight she'd enjoy herself. Tonight she'd forget about her parents. Tonight would be perfect.

ooc;; I <3 these smileys. xD

Dmitri's brow furrowed for just a mere second, hearing Scarlett's sigh and the far away look in her eyes. It made him worry, wondering what was so saddening to put that look on her beautiful face. But he wasn't going to pry, instead just nudging her slightly with a charming smile, starting to lead her down the hallway. If she wanted to talk, it would be in her own time. "I don't think I've been to Shepard's Way. Parts of New York are still new to me. You can tell me the directions once we get to my car." Now that was definitely exciting. He would get the chance to show off his last birthday present, something he had been begging his parents for years to get before they finally caved in. It wasn't a brand new car, but the condition it was in was pristine. Which was why his friends still though he was crazy for getting an electric blue '89 Ford Mustang with gold trimming. But hopefully Scarlett would like it.

A smile, a true one this time, crept over her face as Dmitri nudged and smiled (charmingly) at her. Who cared if her parents had basically disowned her? It wasn't her fault that she'd turned into a fox suddenly on vacation. That dog was trying to kill her, for crying out loud! Scarlett let herself be led obediently, still lost in her memories. Dmitri's voices woke her from her dazed state. What? He had a car aged fifteen? Scarlett couldn't help but to be impressed. "To be honest, I've tried to block out the directions..."

[/color] she admitted, trailing off into silence. Scarlett slowed her steps a little, trying to pluck up the courage to tell Dmitri her deepest and darkest secret. "The place on Shepherd's Way was one of the last time that I saw my parents. They took me on a weekend trip as a kind of vacation... And I shifted when we were on the beach and this dog tried to attack me. Since then they've acted as if I was actually a wild animal. So there's my secret that ruins my life sometimes."[/color] The words came out in a rush as she tried to get it over and done with. With a shaky smile she began to pick up the pace again. Finally she'd have a good time without the thoughts of her parents haunting her.

ooc;; ack. writer's block. sorry for the pitiful post, Lady dear.

In all honesty, Dmitri was shocked. He didn't know what to say or do at first except pull her just a little bit closer. His parents didn't freak out like most seemed to do, but then again, his father was once a shaman before marrying his mother, who was a shifter herself. They welcomed him in with open arms and add onto that they were well off enough that he had plenty of running space for as long as he kept his act together and you had a (weirdly) normal family. They just thought he would be more comfortable in his own fur in a school with others with gifts.

But anyway, he started walking with her again and he reached up to scratch his head. "Are you sure you want to go? We can find somewhere else instead if it would be more comfortable for you. I'm sorry that your family treated you that way. If it helps any, I'm glad that you survived the dog so you could be here with me." He smiled softly down at her as they left the dorms, heading towards the parking lot and his other love.

Scarlett hated her parents after what they'd done to her. Reduced her to a sad ball of fur. Literally. Maybe they shouldn't go to that place... "Are you sure you want to go? We can find somewhere else instead if it would be more comfortable for you. I'm sorry that your family treated you that way. If it helps any, I'm glad that you survived the dog so you could be here with me." Scarlett smiled despite hersef. "We should probably go somewhere else. I have no idea why I suggested that place,"

[/color] she replied. Scarlett said nothing about the last sentence but she felt all tingly inside. Excitement for the date (wow, a date!) rose up inside her as they approached the parking lot.

ooc;; fail post.

Dmitri grinned and nodded, reaching into his pocket to take out his keys. A double beep when he pressed a button told that the alarm had been disarmed as they approached his baby. He went to the passenger side and opened the door for Scarlett, waiting for her to get in before going to his own side and getting in. Seat belt, mirror check and a turn of the key later, he made sure Scarlett was in place before backing out and heading towards the street. He absolutely loved his car, almost as much as he wanted to eventually love Scarlett. But they would get there in their own time.

"What's your favorite food? I do know of this Italian place not too far into the city if you're interested," he inquired, glancing over at her from time to time. Reaching over, he took her hand in one of his, driving easily one-handed. It wasn't that hard after practicing for a year. Hippies for parents definitely had its advantages.

Scarlett smiled as Dmitri led her over to his car. Secretly she thought it was a little unusual to still have a car - most parents sent their child to Solstice with the bare neccessities. As with the case of Scarlett. Scarlett smiled when Dmitri held open the door for her, the perfect gentlemen. Sitting down carefully, she pulled the seatbelt across. Click! Scarlett waited as Dmitri got in and checked the mirror and fastened his seatbelt. They were off! As they backed out and began to drive down the road leading out of Solstice, Scarlett smiled to herself. "What's your favorite food? I do know of this Italian place not too far into the city if you're interested." Scarlett considered, silently laughing. It was pretty amazing how Dmitri had guessed her favourite food. Besides Chinese, anyway. Scarlett was about to answer when Dmitri reached across and held her hand. Whilst still driving the car. Well, obviously he was still driving or she'd be lying in a ditch right now. Scarlett smiled to herself before answering. "I love Italian, Dmitri,"

[/color] she answered. Italian was delicious. Scarlett grinned, watching the scenery go by.

ooc;; sorry ofr the delay and the short post.[/blockquote]

[lady{Living Word}]

ooc: i'm so so sorry i keep you waiting, and with mediocre posts... school and work is a bit overwhelming...

Dmitri grinned, mentally going Score!!. He would have been blown away if he knew that it was her absolute favorite food and he just guessed it on a wilm. It only came to mind because he liked pasta. A lot. Especially ravioli. Just all the different kinds of ravioli there could be made him all excited about it and everything. "Then Italian it is. Its about one of the only places I actually know of around here, and isn't too far away from the school. Maybe we can even go to the park and walk around afterwards? Or run around?" he hinted teasingly. They possibly could get away with running around a park if there weren't that many people out. At least she would be easy to explain, though a wolf, eh not necessarily... "What else do you like to do?" he asked genuinely curious. He wanted to know as much about Scarlett as he possible could. Within her boundaries of course.
