Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to earth.

• She was leaning over the railing, looking around at everything that she had forgotten from so long ago. For once, she had actually manager to lose her brother and she was all alone. It was intimidating and invigorating all at the same time. Her lower lip caught between her teeth as she sighed. It wasn't easy being in the outside hearing world..

• He'd left this one horse town long before he'd been old enough to be interested in the party scene, and all he wanted right now was a stiff drink and someone to warm his bed. He leaned over the railing, spat onto the walkway where his phone was smashed to bits, and then looked over, spotting her. "Where'd I find the nearest bar, kid?" (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:35pm PDT

  ---

• She obviously didn't hear him, not even turning the least. Her eyes drifted over the sights, smiling as she saw a small bird flitter for the first time out of its nest. She noticed a lot of things like that. (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:37pm PDT

  ---

• He frowned, drug heavily off of his cigarette, and stared her down hard, his brow furrowed a little bit - what was wrong with her? He was surprised that she hadn't already mobbed him in the typical teeny bopper way - she looked like the type of kid that would be into the mush that he sold on the silver screen. "Kid. Where can I get a drink?" (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:40pm PDT

  ---

• With a sigh she shifted so she was sitting on the railing. Even now she wasn't like a lot of other teen girls. She was dressed cute but conservatively in a graphic tee and khaki pants. Her gaze shifted to the parking lot, having felt the vibrations of a large truck and curious to see who it was. (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:45pm PDT

  ---

• He turned up on his elbow, watching her with a scrutinizing glare. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Can't talk?" He scowled, and tossed out the butt of his cigarette, reaching for another one. "You deaf and dumb?" (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:47pm PDT

  ---

• She had felt the eyes on her and caught just enough to see the last phrase leave his lips. Her brow cocked, eyes looking a little hurt but she straightened her shoulders. She could handle herself. "Just deaf actually, though you may have enough of the second quality for both of us..." She bit her lip, her young brow furrowed - eyes focused on him. (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:48pm PDT

  ---

• She caught him off guard with her voice, with her responding at all, and he frowned, immediately lighting up another smoke - he wasn't usually much for chain smoking, but he could go like a chimmney when he got aggitated. "What? Jesus.." He frowned, and looked away, looking back again. "You're serious, aren't you?" (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:52pm PDT

  ---

• She didn't catch the first part because he looked away, her brow furrowing yet again as she tried to piece together his fast moving words. Her voice was only slightly stilted when she spoke - a slight lisp the effect of being permantly deaf for so long. Instead of saying anything she just smiled and nodded. (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:54pm PDT

  ---

• Just because he was high on himself, and offended more often than not didn't mean that he didn't feel bad. He frowned, and took a step forward. "Fuck, I'm sorry... My mouth gets ahead of my brain sometimes." (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:57pm PDT

  ---

• She shrugged a bit, brushing back her dark hair, her head tilted as she watched him careful, a small smile playing on her full lips. "You mumble and speak quickly don't you? Makes it hard to read you." (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:59pm PDT

  ---

• It was like he had heard her tell him she was deaf, and knew it but hadn't registered it in his brain yet. "Again, sorry..." He slowed down a little. "Is this better?" (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:02pm PDT

  ---

• She laughed lightly as he tried purposefully to slow down his words. Her laugh was light and sweet, so unlike so many of the girls around here. "Yeah..better." She tilted her head. "I'm sorry, were you trying to say something to me earlier?" (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:04pm PDT

  ---

• He was actually embarrassed about his outburst now, and he frowned. "I was asking about a bar - but you know what? How about a restaurant? Are you hungry?" He felt bad about openly insulting her and so he wanted to make up for it. (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:10pm PDT

  ---

• She hesitated a moment, she'd never just gone off with a stranger before. "Um...whats your name?" (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:11pm PDT

  ---

• He'd totally forgotten every bit of media training he'd had, along with every single manner his mother had hammered into his head, and stubbed out his cigarette, wiping his hands on his pants and offering one ring-and-bracelet clad hand out to be shaken. "Dallas Brown." (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:15pm PDT

  ---

• She could read a lot from people in very little time and already she could tell that he was a man used to getting his way, getting what he wanted when he wanted. She took his hand, her shake firm she released the grip. "I'm Serena..." She tilted her head. "There's a mall near here, I think there are some places there." (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:17pm PDT

  ---

• "Well Serena, I'd be more than honored if you'd reacquaint me with this town by coming out for something to eat with me." (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:20pm PDT

  ---

• She hopped off the railing, taking him in as if she was trying to see beyond the part of himself he showed off. "I don't really know the town..I just got here too but I know where the mall is." She smirked lightly before she whistled, the young husky jumping up. "This is Keisha..she's my helper." She smiled at the husky, small for her breed - she was the runt. The black and white dog eyed him slightly, staying close to Serena's calves as if she didn't trust him with her master. (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:23pm PDT

  ---

• He offered the crook of his arm to her - ever the gentleman once he was forced to think about it - his moments of temper appeared when he didn't keep himself in check. "Well then we'll learn together!" (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:27pm PDT

  ---

• She laughed at his exuberance before she tilted her head. "Well lead the way then." The dog followed loyally.. (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:28pm PDT
