Rosalie sighed gently when Edgar just let her go, part of her almost wishing that he had made her stop and talk to him. She appreciated that she respected that she didn't want to talk about this, but she needed to and probably wasn't going to say much unless someone made her. He then spoke up, saying that if she told him to stop asking, he would, but for now he was going to keep trying to get it out of her. She didn't know what to say at first, so she walked in silence for a few steps, trying to figure it out. They were almost back to her house, where she could finally get some much needed sleep. She was beginning to feel like she owed Edger an explanation though.. she had given Favian one. "Since you're not going to stop asking anyway and you should probably know anyway.." she started, stopping by her door as they reached it. "I'm conflicted because of you and because of Favian. I don't know what I feel about either of you." she said gently, blushing and looking down and away from him. "I don't expect you to feel any specific way towards me, but you asked - so there it is." she finished, taking a small step back towards her door. He had a moment of opportunity to respond before she would disappear through the door, wanting this conflicting emotional day to be over.

Back when you first came into my life,
we recalled a place that I knew as a child,
a special place, one that I held close to my heart,
won't you leave me in a dance down this winding road,
where light and shadow entwine to take hold of the thoughts so far,
one left far behind.
 β¬ βͺ Edgar Johnson β© β
"I sing to life and its tragic beauty, to pain and to strife, and to all that dances through me..."
Edgar was taken aback.
"Wait, wait...what?"
He scratched his head
"So you're upset because you can't choose between the doctor and...me? Why me?"
He had no idea why she liked him. After all, he was just barely 18, they just met, and he never showed any interest in her, though she was a beautiful woman.
"Don't get me wrong, you're a beautiful woman, and I'd love to see what happens with this..."
He was overcome with the sudden urge to kiss her.
Bit by bit IΒ΄m falling under your charm,
you'll keep me and all the world far from harm,
bring hope to everyone, take in your hands eternity,
even when it seems that I don't need you,
just know that I am in love can't wait to,
leave this endless darkness,
won't you come along with me, hold my hand

Rose blushed hard when Edgar stammered over his words, obviously not expecting this at all. Wow, had she really just told someone who had no interest in her that she liked him? That was dumb. Her blush faded slightly as he asked why and she pushed her hair behind her shoulders, shaking her head gently. "It's stupid, I know, I'm sorry... there's just something about you.. I don't know." she said, stumbling over her words, obviously embarrassed. She wasn't the kind of girl to just blurt out that she liked someone - very much less that she liked two people and didn't know what to do. What kind of idiot blurted that out to one of the two she liked? She felt like she was in grade school again. She also felt like an idiot - Edgar had no interest in her, but Favian did. She was going after someone who had no interest in her while someone else was chasing after her. What kind of weird messed up love triangle was going on here? And how the hell did she find herself in the center of it?! His next words caused her to bite her lip gently and rip her away from these thoughts, her eyes meeting his curiously. She smiled gently at him, saying "It's okay Edgar, you don't have to just say that, I totally sprung this on you.. Goodnight.." She sighed and turned to open her door, pausing as she moved to push it open for just one moment, in case he had anything else to say or do. She honestly was so embarrassed by his initial reaction that she just assumed he was saying what he did to make her feel better, not because he had any real feelings.

"I sing to life and its tragic beauty, to pain and to strife, and to all that dances through me..."
He was about to let her go, but there was a little voice in the back of his head that kicked him and told him not to be an idiot.
Ah, what the hell. No time like the present.
"Hey Rose?"
He said her name to get her to turn around, and then grabbed her face gently, pulled her close with an arm around her waist, and kissed her.
She's gonna hit me...

~~Dr. Favian Falk~~  Favian had meant to go straight to bed. It had been one long as hell, a** of a day and he really needed to get to sleep. But his head was so full of thoughts of Rose that he was to restless to lie down just yet. He was definitely over tired. He should have kissed her! He should have taken the chance! What if she didn't come tomorrow? What if she... Favian stopped and stared. What the hell? Was he really seeing this? He blinked his eyes and rubbed his face. No, the spectacle was still there. So that's how it was, was it?
"Ahem, My dear Rose, it seems we are even now. Hello Edgar."
Favian had to stop himself from going up to the punk and hitting him square in the jaw. In fact it was an absolute battle. He clenched his fists by his sides before turning on the charm. He smirked at Rose, not even bothering with Edgar.
"I suppose it is safe to assume, I won't be seeing you tomorrow then. I mean you wouldn't be the kind to go around with more than one guy, would you now Rose? Not like me, I have plenty to choose from, right Doll?"
Her words from before came out and he now turned them on her like knives. But yet he still wanted her more then ever. He had to get away. Away from her and before he did something stupid to him...That, Agh! Rotten Little... Favian turned away.

Dance is the hidden language of the soul.
Rosalie was just about to push her door open when she heard Edgar say her name. She turned to face him, wondering what exactly he was going to say now. Her head was already muddled enough. He didn't say a word though, he took her face in his hands, pulled her close so their bodies touched, and kissed her. Rose closed her eyes and leaned into him, her lips pressing against his into his kiss. It only took a moment of his gentle touch however for Rose to realize this wasn't what she wanted. She didn't feel anything emotional when Edgar kissed her, it was just a kiss. It felt good, sure, but it wasn't right. She knew immediately that he wasn't the one she should be kissing. She broke away from his lips gently, opening her eyes and stepping back. She was about to tell him what she was thinking when she heard a voice that made her heart catch in her throat - Favian.
She couldn't look at him, she couldn't look at either of them actually. Instead she stared down at the ground, running a hand through her hair. Her stomach sank hearing his words, he sounded oh so bitter and angry. She finally looked up in time to see Favian smirking at her, the guilt written across her face as if she actually had it written on her forehead. What have I done.. she thought to herself, her stomach feeling like it was being twisted. She couldn't believe she had done this, what the hell was she thinking?! She could see him clenching his fists as he threw her words from earlier back at her, causing her to turn her head back towards the ground, wrapping her arms around her chest. She was so ashamed. She didn't deserve either of them.
She waited for a moment after Favian finished speaking, tears welling up in he eyes as she heard him start to walk away. She turned to Edgar for a moment, touching his arm gently. "I am so sorry for this, but I have to follow him. I just.. I didn't feel anything with that kiss. I can't.. I'm sorry. You can hate me, I'd get it." she said quickly, letting a tear spill from her eyes before she turned on her heels, leaving Edgar standing there. Favian had gotten pretty far while she talked to Edgar, so she almost jogged after him, getting herself in front of him like she had before and making him stop with a hand to his chest. "Favian.." she started, begging the tears that were forming in her eyes to stay where they were and not spill down her cheeks. Her lip quivered as she spoke again, saying "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that happen.. it just did. It meant nothing." She honestly didn't know what to say to him, just that she had to stop him, had to let him know that the kiss meant nothing to her. It didn't make her heart skip a beat like it did at Favian's mere touch, nor did it make her want Edgar the way she wanted Favian when he had his arms around her. It was insane and crazy and she couldn't believe herself for letting it all happen, but that kiss had showed her exactly what she wanted. If only Favian hadn't seen.

~~Dr. Favian Falk~~ Favian had seen her crying and knew how much his words were hurting her. He wanted to go to her, wipe her tears but being anywhere near that other guy would make him snap. He had to leave. He walked fast, trying to get as far away from them as possible, running his hands through his hair and pulling at it madly.
She was coming! His heart lightened to hear her footsteps coming up behind him. She stopped in front of him and he watched her wordlessly as she put her hand to his chest once more. He loved how she said his name. "It meant nothing?" He tilted his head looking down at her, his hands in his pockets. "I'm pretty sure those words have been said already tonight... Don't you have something a little bit more original?"
He took a hand out of his pocket and grabbed her wrist, pulling her toward him. His face was set in an unreadable mask but his eyes danced as her words played back to him in his head. She hadn't felt anything with that kiss..."Let me see then if I can make you feel something." He bent his head slowly towards her, his lips breathing against hers, his eyes still open, watching her. He took out his other hand and cupping her neck with one and holding her about the waist with the other, he dipped her as if they were in some old fashioned movie. He closed his eyes and their lips met, softly at first before he unleashed all his longing for her, kissing until they were both breathless.
He righted them both and opened his eyes and just watched her for the longest time. His face genuinely smiling.

Dance is the hidden language of the soul.
Rose blinked back the tears as she waited for Favian's reaction, feeling like an idiot. How could she let herself get tangled up in this mess? When he repeated her words, asking once again if it meant nothing, then mentioning how those words had already been said tonight, she thought he was just going to throw something back at her. That he would tell her that he couldn't do this like she had earlier to him. That he would use her own words against her for this stupid mistake. She just couldn't tell what he was thinking. He grabbed her wrist then, pulling her in close to him, watching her with an expression that she couldn't read. She couldn't tell if he didn't know what to do with her, if he was angry, if he would accept her apology, if he'd believe or just let her go. She wouldn't have been surprised if he just pushed her away from him right then and there and stormed off. Then she'd have lost both of them.
His next words made her heart skip a beat however and she watched as his head lowered towards her's, his breath against her lips causing butterflies in her stomach. His hands found her neck and her waist, holding her gently and close and her eyes watched his own, her breath bated as she waited. She felt her body dip as Favian pressed his lips to her own, her eyes shutting along with his own and her lips responding to his kiss. She wrapped her hands loosely around his neck, one tangling in his hair as her lips met his with just as much intensity, causing her to feel sky high. When his lips finally parted from her's and they were upright once again, she gasped gently, a smile turning the corner of her lips up before she even opened her eyes. She opened her eyes slowly to meet his gaze, running her hand through his hair absently. She was left feeling like she was on cloud nine from that kiss and all she could manage to say was "That definitely meant something.", her voice gentle and her eyes glimmering ever so slightly. She grinned slightly to herself, feeling like a fool for those simple words that came from her lips and how ridiculously she was smiling right now. She just couldn't help it, Favian simply made her melt.

~~Dr. Favian Falk~~ He laughed, delighted that he had pulled those words from her. And that grin on her face that seemed to reach from ear to ear. He brought his hand up, his thumb brushing along the side of her jaw.
"You know, sometimes I wish I wasn't so good, you know?" He shook his head as if he was disappointed in himself, before he grinned just as big as her. "I'm only kidding, my beautiful little dancer."
He pulled her close, his chin resting on her head as he hugged her tightly to him. "I wonder...Will you let me take care of your feet now? We really can't have you dancing on them, like they are. Especially if you're going to teach me how to dance..." He still hadn't told her he wasn't a real Doctor but he'd missed his chance now, hoping she'd be happy to teach him some moves with the two of them together. At least it was a good excuse to be near her.

 Amarissa Amarissa stared up at the stars, as was habit for her, before quickly tilting it back down, remembering her rules. Fit in, don't stare at the stars, and keep loyal to everyone here. Granted, she was just heading back in after a fairly unsuccessful day with nothing but a roll of band-aids, but at least she had tried to do something. She frowned at how useless she felt, brushing past someone who said hi to her with little more than a nod, going a spot that was generally fairly quiet, and looking up at the stars, wondering if they could somehow guide her to her destiny. They always did, right?

A loud sonic boom echoed across the wastelands as a jumbo jet sized flying object soared across the skies, heading for the camp, growing slowly larger. As it grew closer, it was obvious that it wasn't an airplane.

 ~~~Gavin Napier~~~
Gavin had been talking to his friend in the tent for a while now, but eventually he excused himself, standing up and heading out of the tent, noticing the time of day almost habitually, and then wandering out into the camp. Check the food reserves, see if anything was seriously needed, help out around camp until he eventually went to sleep, those were the plans. He noticed someone sliding out from the main people, someone with blue hair dusted brown from the wasteland dust and grit. Only one person with hair like that, and last he'd checked she'd been out scavenging today too. He slid through the crowds, breaking free and approaching her somewhat. "Welcome back Amarissa." He said as he approched, both a greeting and warnign someone was coming. For some reason something about her stargazing seemed to keep her a bit nervous about people noticing. He was literally opening his mouth to say something else, presumably ask how she was and how the scavenging had gone, when there was a loud sonic boom echoing over the camp, causing him to look around immediately, as he grabbed the handgun he kept in a holster regularly, versus the machine gun left back in the small little camp armory. But he soon looked up, and the sight of the craft streakign across the darkening sky brought a confused mess of sensations to his stomach. First, the crazy relief of wondering if this was a rescue, had somewhere somehow survived the apocalypse and come to help them? Then of course confusion of how something was airworthy after the massive EMPs that had washed over almost everything, frying electronics. ultimately he settled into a wary watchfulness as a preference, since he had no idea what this was, heading towards the main gate and it's watchtower... That didn't look like any airplane he'd ever seen, or even heard of.

Amarissa Amarissa jumped when someone approached her, biting her lip when she realized they probably caught her watching the stars. She turned and smiled at Gavin, waving a hand when a sonic boom caused her to jump again, automatically reaching for where her pistol normally was in the wastelands. Oh, the stars were sneaky, weren't they? She saw the airplane...no the spaceship rocketing towards camp, even as she started running to the gate despite her lack of weaponry, excited and nervous all at once.

Dance is the hidden language of the soul.
Rosalie smiles up at him as he brushed his thumb across her jaw, not minding that he was laughing. She knew it was probably at how drastically her opinions had changed of him from just earlier that day. She knew it was ridiculous to jump into this with him, especially with his reputation, but there was just something about him that drew her in and kept her coming back. She could only hope that she would keep his attention. Her mind only wandered for a second however when it was brought back by his voice joking about being so good. She smirked and rolled her eyes at him, but laughed when he said he was kidding, her smirk turning to a grin.
Her hands slipped from around his neck to around his waist when he pulled her close to him, his chin resting against her head like it fit perfectly. She nuzzled her head into his chest, just breathing him in. He smelled like cigarettes faintly, but also like perfume and that odd clinical smell that she was sure he got from the hospital. When he mentioned her feet and dancing, she looked up at him, her head resting on its side against his chest. "You want to learn to dance?" she asked with a grin, trying to picture him dancing with her. It would be nice to have a partner, but he'd need lots of work to get anywhere near her level. "And what would you do to help? I'll let you.. but I'm not going to stop dancing." she said, smirking at him with determination. Sure, he could help her out with her feet if he knew what he was doing, but she wouldn't stop dancing in the meantime. She as she was about to ask what kind of doctor he was - since no one really knew, they just assumed something medical - a loud boom echoed across the wastelands, causing the ground to shake underneath them.
Rose clutched Favian a bit tighter for a moment, squeezing her eyes shut. It only took her a few seconds to realize the world hadn't crumbled apart however and she opened her eyes, stepping away from Favian, but grabbing his hand. "What was that?" she questioned out loud, her other hand reaching for the bag she had on her back. She could only be glad she had it with her, since it had everything she prized in life inside it - her ballet shoes. Her eyes locked on the object that seemed to be heading closer to the camp then, her mouth dropping slightly as she saw what it was. It looked like an airplane of some type, but it was much bigger and much less.. airplane like. "Favian..." she said slowly, pointing up to where the air ship of some sort was approaching. "Do you think that's here to rescue us or kill us?" she said seriously, not taking her eyes from the ship but dropping her hand to her side. She'd dreamed of rescue from this wreck of a planet for what seemed like ages, but now that it was possibly here, she wasn't sure if she trusted it. Why now?

Little Batman
JT was woken from a rather uneventful sleep by a boom that shook the very building he was in. Leaping from his spot where he was curled up on the floor, he grabbed his teddy and looked around frantically for his brother. "Eddie?" he whispered, his bright green eyes widening when he realized his brother wasn't around. For once, he wasn't the one who had run off. He jumped up quickly, wrapping the blanket around him like a cape and sticking the teddy out in the air triumphantly. "Little Batman and Little Robinhood.. Bearboy.. something.. to the rescue!" he exclaimed, giggling at his own silliness. The fact that this boom wasn't normal or could mean something really bad hadn't even crossed his mind.
He made his way out of the building he was in and out into the chaos that had erupted in the town. Everyone was either running indoors, or running towards the gates, or just running in circles. It was very confusing, but JT ran around asking everyone if they'd seen his brother. Most ignored him, but after a bunch of unsuccessful tries, he got someone to point in a direction and scampered off that way, his legs taking him as fast as they could. He breezed right past Favian and Rose without even noticing them and right to where Eddie stood. "Eddie! What're you doing? Did you hear that boom? It was like BOOM and now everyone's like AHH and I'm like just where's Eddie?" he said excitedly, acting out what had happened with hand motions and loud sound affects. He then grabbed Eddie's hand and tugged on it, since he seemed to be slightly preoccupied. "Eddie, what's happening?" he asked earnestly, standing close to his brother. Now that he had found him, his excitement about being a detective wore off and he was concerned about the frantic actions going on around him.
