It was a quarter to ten, and Elizabeth was stuck at her parents house. She was dancing around and making a fool of herself with her younger siblings. Of all the things her parents had her do she had to babysit. She was sick and tired of her brother and sister. Elizabeth had to wait until her older brother Ray Jr. to get there so he could spend the night with them. Randy and Julie were the worst brother and sister a girl could ever get. She had to do everything for them. Elizabeth was glad she really didn't visit that often, only for emergencies since she was working on her dance career. "Okay enough, enough!", Elizabeth said as she fell back onto the couch. The door bell suddenly rang. Elizabeth's father had set it to ring as Spongebobs theme song. Her parents were so immature. But what was she going to do about it. There were never going to change. Elizabeth got herself up and ran to the door, hoping it was Ray. Elizabeth took some time opening the door, since it was so heavy. The door struggled open and Ray poked his head in. "Thank god! You took years, but anyways i know you do not let them stay up late and watch scary movies. Julie can't handle them and Randy has nightmares!", Elizabeth managed to let out of her mouth and hug him. Then she found herself back in the living room grabing her things and giving her younger siblings a kiss goodnight. Then she made her way to her car. As she got in her car, she started it and reversed out of her parents driveway.

Elizabeth's parents didn't live that far away from 'The End', one of the best nightclubs in London. Elizabeth loved going there on Saturday nights. And this night was the perfect Saturday to actually go. Well there was actually no reason, but she only went because there were lots of people going and she didn't want to miss out on what was going to be happening. Elizabeth had already changed when she was at her parents. Now she just had to get there. She was speeding down the street, cars passing her, Elizabeth passing other cars. The streets of London for full of crazy drivers. But Elizabeth made it into the parking lot safe and sound. She got out of her black BMW, and went into the club, showing her ID to the bouncers. Elizabeth made her way through the crowd and to the bar, she found herself a seat and sat down.

[Colton Nozuka]

Colton had been sitting in his dorm for a while, extremely bored. He had been on msn, watched tv and tried to practice playing the drums but after wandering to the practice hall, realized that it was twenty to ten meaning the hall was closed. There was nothing to do and that bugged the crap out of the eighteen year old. Flipping on the television again, a commerical came on about a nightclub in the heart of London. That's when it clicked; he'd go clubbing, have a few drinks and enjoy himself.

He dragged his butt off his bed and changed into something more comfortable than his bumming around attire that consisted of sweatpants and a teeshirt. Yes it was comfortable but not public worthy. He changed into jeans and a random shirt to throw on that would lay underneath a light hoodie for the walk down. It wasn't too far and he needed the exercise anyways.

The walk took about thirty minutes to get to downtown and the heart of the city and then another twenty to find the club. He'd forgotten his id but was luckily let in without question. The music thumped in his ears and filled his head with the beats of the drums. He could always hear the parts the drums had in every song that wasn't acoustic. This made memorizing the tabs easier as well.

Colton weaved his way through dancing people, getting grinded on by randoms too drunk to care who it was. He kept on moving until he came to the bar at the edge of the dancefloor. This place was packed although the bar wasn't too full. His Australian accent ordered a Canadian brewed beer; higher alcohol percentage that guaranteed intoxication. Putting the bill on a tab, he took a large gulp of the refreshing beverage. His body leaned on the counter of the bar as his eyes watched people dancing, talking and girls arguing about something inaudible although it was entertaining to see their hands waving every which way as they yelled. The beer was almost finished and it would be time for another soon.

we have met once again
but this time we will become friends,

Elizabeth sighed, and ordered herself a refreshing glass of champagne. Elizabeth drank some of the drink and swished it around in her mouth before downing it. The club was simply boring tonight, and people were just roaming around like they usualy did. Elizabeth was glad nothing really changed from when she was last there. Due to her tight dance practicing schedule Elizabeth missed two weekends of clubing with friends. She hadn't told anyone she was actually going to the club. Elizabeth thought she would go by herself for a change, instead of with a big crowd. Her eyes wondered around the club, as to see none of her friends were there. So she was indeed alone. Elizabeth looked to her side and saw someone familiar. No she didn't really talk to many people. She only had a few friends. Most people knew her but she didn't know them at all. She was always dancing 6 hours for three days a week, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Elizabeth practiced at home for the remaining four days of the week. She had to keep on practicing or she would forget and make a fool of herself on stage. The amount of tricks and moves Elizabeth had to remember, she couldn't stop thinking about practice. But tonight was officialy her night, and no one was going to interfer with that. She hoped she actually met someone to spend the whole night with. Sounding kind of weird, but poor Elizabeth was scarred with all the drunk people in the club. But knowing in a good hour or so she would be one of them.

Elizabeth then remembered the guys name, Colton. Colton Nozuka. He was a drummer? Something like that. Elizabeth had talked to him once, he seemed pretty cool but she never really hung out with him for long. Elizabeth shrugged, as she got up and walked over with her glass of champagne in hand and ended up sitting next to him. "Hi, Aren't you Colton. The ah.... drummer?"she asked the guy just to make sure. "I'm Elizabeth, but everyone calls me Lizzi. You may not remember me, but i am the crazy hip-hop dancer.", Elizabeth added in just to give him an idea of who she actually was. She thought he was thinking of who this girl was, how she knew his name, and why she was even talking to him. Elizabeth was quite bold, and she did anything she wanted to do. And introducing herself was one of them. Well introducing herself again, to Colton. Elizabeth then took another sip of her champagne as she waiting for Colton to remember who she was, or just say something. She was glad she actually saw someone she kind of knew.

[Colton Nozuka]

Colton had been thinking of mostly Remy at the moment; for some reason, she wasn't just a face. She reminded him of himself but was her own person. She didn't run with the crowd but had her own opinions. Why was she on his mind all of a sudden? Was he starting to think of her as more of a friend or was it just a random event? How confusing..

A vaguely familliar voice interrupted his argument with himself. The eighteen year old turned and saw Elizabeth. Yes, he did remember her. They'd only seen eachother a couple of times and briefly in the hallways but either than that, she had dance and he played whenever he could. A smile of recognition appeared on his shadowed face as the lights moved around, shining in people's faces and casting a multicoloured show of lights.

Shifting, his lean body was still against the counter but he raised a finger, indicating to the tender that he needed another one. Raising the bottle to his lips, he emptied the glass container and set it on the table. His gaze went from the array of alcohol on their shelves to Elizabeth beside him.

How could I forget?

His words were simple as he glanced away from her to the unopened bottle near his arm. Taking hold of the brisk beer, he twisted the cap off and took the first drink, letting it slide smoothly down his throat and into his stomach. The alcohol brought a familliar warmth to his body.

What brings you here tonight?



--sorry.. It's short.--

now it's just memories,

She smiled at Colton, when he said he had remembered. It was good that she wasn't forgotten. Most people would be clueless. Then Elizabeth was left to be confused, and thinking she was crazy. But Elizabeth always remembered peoples faces. She may not remember their names. But after a while it would come back to her, or the person would just tell her their name. But it was just a dumn subject so Elizabeth pushed the thought out of her mind and looked back at him. She put the glass up to her lips and drank the drink slowly. Her eyes then wondered around the dance floor. Many people were dancing and laughing. Having a great time. She sighed, and replied to Colton. "Well, i just got finished baby sitting my little brat siblings. And i just came out here to have some fun. But it doesn't appear so." Elizabeth shrugged at the reply. She wasn't really having fun at all.

This Saturday was just a boring one. Usually, people were going crazy at the club. No one was sitting down or anything. The whole club was dancing. Girls and guys grinding eachother. It was just how it was supposed to be. Today it seemed everyone was at home watching Spongebob.
