SURPRISE! (ANY FRIEND OF LU'S CAN JOIN)

[Azuki Navaaha]

She had known about this day ever since she had met the Beta Female, Luschka. Knowing that Halloween was a Holiday that most humans celebrate, but today was a special day. Today, Azuki was planning to make a surprised birthday party for Luschka, hoping that the Beta Female would like it. Running around, Azuki was getting the decorations up and ready. Being as it was Halloween, Azuki planned to have it as a Halloween Masquerade Ball for her dear friend. Of course, Luschka didn't know about it and hardly anyone else did, but at the moment, Azuki had only told Eclipse and Blayde. The two people she trusted with a secret at the moment. Oh, and Alicia! Yes Alicia, knew to.

Hearing a ring, Azuki looked down at her phone and realized that Alicia was calling her. "Hey Alicia. Are you on your way? I have most of the decorations up." she answered. Smiling into the phone, Azuki nodded, then realized Alicia couldn't see it. "Alright. Thanks for getting the cake and then after we finish we can get ready and start letting people in." she said, before hanging up the phone. Looking around at her work, Azuki smiled. She had done good.

-------------------------------------

Alicia had gotten off of the phone with Azuki no less than five minutes and she was already at the Residential. Getting out, Alicia got her outfit out and started to get the cake when she saw Azuki coming out to help her. She smiled at her friend and closed the trunk when the cake was safely out of harms way. Walking into the room that Azuki had decorated with Halloween colors and the colors that, apparently, Luschka liked. "This is amazing Azuki. You did very good! Now why don't we put this cake down and go get changed." She saw Azuki nodded, put the cake down and then pulled out her phone.

As she walked to go and change, she heard her friend talking on the phone. Probably Eclipse, or the lucky fellow that had gotten Azuki's affection. Alicia closed a door behind her and changed, coming back out in a beautiful like blue dress that fell to the floor and held her body perfect. The mask she wore, was of a light blue butterfly. Alicia looked over at Azuki to see the girl come out in a light red with black cats on it. The mask was of a butterfly but black. "Gorgeous. Now let's go wait for some guests." she said, and walked towards the door with Azuki. Time for fun.

Normally, Eclipse would have stayed far away from parties, preferring silence and calm to the loudness, but this party was a special occasion, one he hoped Azuki never learned about him. It was a birthday party . . . for his Beta Female. Taking a deep breath, he leaned against the archway that hide a staircase to the upstairs bedrooms. Dressed in a pitch black suit with bright red toggles and loops, with a Daemon Gladiator mask covering his face, and a black velvet clock draping to the floor, he felt a bit foolish, but he wouldn't missed this party for the world.

The arrival of Alicia Saber didn't surprise him, mainly because the two women were friends and Azuki had to have had helped planning such an event. Both women didn't seem to notice him and it gave him a chance to watch both of them. He didn't have much time, as Alicia and Azuki quickly disappeared into rooms to change for the party, but he had to admit that both were breath taking once they came out. Dressed in blue, Alicia looked stunning, though Eclipse couldn't help but think that the dresses should have been switched, due to Alicia's red pelt in wolf form. Shaking his head, he glanced to Azuki, who looked just as beautiful in red as Alicia looked in blue.

"And here I thought the party would be boring and I would leave shortly after Lu arrived,"

[/color] Eclipse rumbled as he stepped out of the shadows and toward the women. Dipping his head to both ladies, he couldn't help but grin at them. "You two have out done yourselves this time . . . . I feel sorry for whosoever birthday is close to Valentine's Day,"[/color] he stated, hoping that was the right American holiday for St. Valentine.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]

Azuki nor Alicia knew that Eclipse had arrived until after he came out of the shadows and talked to them. Azuki gave him a smile and her cheeks turned a bit red. Putting her hands on her hips, her blue eyes looked him over, seeing his outfit and his mask. "Nice outfit Eclipse. Are you suppose to be a demon?" she asked, walking over to the alpha with Alicia. Dipping her head respectfully back at him, Azuki shrugged, "I think Lu deserved a party like this. She's done good as a Beta Female." Azuki turned to her friend Alicia.

-------------------------------------

Alicia smiled over at Eclipse. She liked his outfit. Black, wasn't usually what she'd like on anyone, especially Eclipse. But surprisingly, he pulled it off really well. She crossed her arms across her chest, "Now, why do you feel for someone's birthday close to Valentine's Day?" she asked. The blonde walked over to the two, her black heels hitting the ground with soft thuds on the wooden floor. When she got over to Azuki, she put a hand on the younger girls shoulder, "Azuki's the one that decorated and did everything else. I only helped with the cake. If anything, she get's all of the credit, Eclipse." she stated. "I agree with Azuki. Love the costume."

Today is my birthday. And in America it's Halloween. And in Mexico and other spanish countries it's El Dia de los Muertos, the day of the dead. But I don't celebrate any of those things. Accept my birthday. Today I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm not a teenager. I'm twenty years old. A woman. I look at myself in the mirror and sigh, blowing some of my hair from my face. My really long hair. Pursing my lips, I look at my dresser to find a dress bag that poorly hides how puffy it is, and a note on top. It says to put it on, look wonderful, and have a good time. My first thought is "What the hell is going on?!", but then I see who wrote the note. Azuki. Of course.

I unzip the bag and my immediate reaction is "Oh my god, I'm going to look like an apple!", but I examine it closer and see that It's not going to look quite like that. I shower, blow dry my hair, and then dress. Might as well put on the dress before I do anything else. Everyone knows that if I do my hair or make-up first I'll look like McJagger gone wrong. After the dress is on I curl my hair and put some of it back and smile to myself. Time for make-up. As I observe the bright, glittery, ruby red dress I decide to coordinate my make-up with it. I use the same shade of red lipstick and then gold eyeshadow. Black mascara and eyeliner will have to do. I apply a little bit of blush, but not much. Ever since Seth and I got back together I've gotten a lot better and healthier looking. This is probably going to be my comeback.

I'm done getting ready. Wait a minute. Just one more thing. This gold mask. I put it on with a smile and admire myself. Wow, Azuki really out did herself with my outfit. But I wonder why she made me dress up. I hope she's not taking me anywhere. Did I miss something? Gosh, in the past year my all-knowingness has really declined. I just haven't had the time to do my research on people anymore. Anyway, I look by my door and find gold high heels that resemble Greek goddess's shoes, but even prettier if I do say so myself. I smile and go sit on my bed, waiting for the clock to get to the time where I have to leave.

Azuki looked down at her watch before looking back up to her friends. "Excuse me you two, I've got to go pick up the guest of honor." she said, before turning to the doorway and walking out to her car. Getting into her car, Azuki made her way towards Lu's place. Of course, Lu didn't know that Azuki was going to be picking her up until after she got there. Everything was going to be a surprise to Lu and also, she hoped that the Beta Female enjoyed her dress that Azuki had gotten her for the party.

Putting the car in park. Azuki got out and made her way to the doorway and knocked. She still had her mask on, surprisingly, Azuki was able to even see with the mask on. But her eye sight was amazing for an 18yr old female. Looking down, Azuki saw that she had a missed call from Alicia. More than likely keeping her up to date or just wondering where she had gone.

As I'm sitting on my bed I observe my room. It's quite large I suppose. I wish it wasn't just a bedroom and a bathroom though. My room in the Infiniteria Residential is probably the second largest if not the largest room in the house, but yet I feel a little claustrophobic. Strange. I've never felt that way before....just as I drift into deep thought, a knock at the door snaps me out of it. I sigh, stand up, and elegantly make my way to the door. It's strange how graceful I am for a tomboy. I chuckle softly to myself and open the door to find Azuki standing there. In a black and red dress with a black butterfly mask nonetheless. I grin and bring her in for a hug. Hey Zu, long time no see!

[/color] I smile and squeeze her tightly. It's been too long since I've seen anyone, let alone Azuki. It's been far too long. But that's going to change.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]

Azuki looked up when she heard the door opening, and was encountered by a hug from Luschka. She returned the hug with a smile before she moved back. "Sorry, Lu. I've been busy with some things." she said. Then Azuki looked at her friend and the dress she was wearing. Instantly, Azuki smiled at her, "I love the dress, Lu. It'll fit perfectly on where we are going." she said, giving her friend a smile. Azuki was more than happy that Lu looked good in the dress, especially for her party.
