Ellie's Party Look
"Ugh. What assholes." Jessica Sterling groaned as she finished folding the last of her clothes she had found scattered around the dorm room. She strolled over to her wardrobe, dropping the item off into its predetermined place. Everything was back to where it was meant to be. As frustrating as it was fixing up all of her clothes, Jess had honestly been relieved. The voicemail Lovelace had left the senior was cryptic to say the least. If she didn't know better, she'd of thought Lucas ran over Ellie's dog or something. The brief phonecall the two girls shared had shed some light on the earlier message. Apparently, Eliana and Luke were at each other's throats again. From what information Jess had garnered from her friend, Lucas had ambushed Milo and the Dreamcatcher had swooped in to rescue him, as she always did. Things were far from ordinary, though. Something happened. Ellie wouldn't tell Sterling what, but whatever had happened had thrown Lucas over the edge. Raiding the Mayweather rooms was a new low for him; not at all a surprise, but low none the less. Invincible stumbled over to her bed and collapsed in it, letting a sigh of relief escape her lips.
Her bed promptly collapsed under the weight.
"FUCK!" Jessica screamed, more out of fright than pain. She let out a string of vulgarity so vile and enraged toward Lucas, his family and Delphina in general, that the editor has chosen to not include it in the dialogue. It was after that brief outburst that Jess heard a faint knock on her door. She ran her fingers through her hair, taking a short breath to compose herself before answering it. "Hey." She greeted simply. "Come on in. Don't sit on the funiture."
"You too? How did they hit you? I say 'they' because... I doubt Lucas can do all this by himself. Especially some of those impressive knots in my clothes." Eliana sighed at the amount of damage that was still in her room, too tired to care about it in this instant. Giving her friend a light wave, her uneasiness written all over her face, Ellie quietly walked in and observed the bedroom, "At least your underwear isn't being used as decorations." Not knowing if Jess had anything she held dear to her or not, Dream Catcher gave her friend a concerned look, "Nothing is missing of yours...?" Her tone was undoubtedly uncertain. She wondered how each room differed in terms of damage. In a way, Ellie hoped she wasn't the only one missing a diary or something of great value, then she wouldn't feel like this was a direct attack on her. The rest of the rooms could potentially be a cover up for Lucas' revenge. He was a spiteful prick, who didn't know when to call it quits. If he didn't think she would flush a dream or a nightmare over him for a third time, he better think again.
"Eh, nothing major. Just tossed our clothes around a bit. Oh, and dismantled the beds. Finding that out was fun." Jess emphasized, the venom in her voice quite clear. "Unless Lucas recently started to hang out with boy scouts, I can only think of one guy who could've helped him with those knots." Invincible gave her friend a sympathetic smile; Ellie was typically difficult to read when it came to emotions. But she was an open book now. Which meant that whatever was bothering her was really getting in her head. Jess moved to the side so Lovelace could come in. The two of them were forced to awkwardly stand in the middle of the room. Thanks, IKEA. It takes three hours to put a bed together but five minutes to take it apart. "Did they seriously do that?" Jess huffed. "He's got it out for you. No doubt." She answered the next question with a brief shrug. "No. Nothing for them to steal anyway. I keep all my important shit on my person. Did they...?" Sterling let the question hang in the air, unfinished. While she didn't officially know about the diary, Jessica had a pretty good idea it existed. And was very important to Ellie. Lucas was in for it if he touched something Lovelace cared about.
Holding onto one of her arms and avoiding eye contact with Jess, which wasn't normal for any Lovelace, she lied, "Oh no, no! I was just curious. I would be pissed if they took away anything that belonged to you." Ellie could see the building anger in the strongest woman on campus. She didn't want to worry her anymore than she probably already was. Mild anger was fine. Rage bigger than a campfire would be dangerous for a person like Jess. Whatever was going on between Ellie and Lucas was something she needed to deal with herself, especially since he now had in possession something that held far too many thoughts that no one knew about. Not Milo. Not Jess. Not Jenna. No one. Wanting to change the focus of the conversation, the small woman tried her best to push her anxiety aside, and asked, "You're going to the party... right?" Her green orbs gently scanned her friend's workout outfit before adding, "I'd give you an outfit but most of my clothes are... well, you already know. And the dresses that can be used look rather short on me."
Jessica glanced down at her clothes. "I probably have something..." She muttered. Jessica made her way over toward the closet she shared with Samantha, continuing to listen to her friend as she searched for something to wear.
While Jess looked through her clothes, Ellie proposed something devious, "Before we go to the party, would you like to take a trip to Lucas' room? The proper thing to do is show him our gratitude. We can be classy about it. Rather than throw his clothes on the floor, it can go out the window. Rather than display his briefs on the wall, they can be scattered in the hallway. Rather than his bed break, his mattress can go missing. What do you say?"
Invincible couldn't help but devilishly grin. "Brilliant plan, El." Jessica threw off everything she was wearing with reckless abandon, slipping into something a little more...fashionable. "Alright. I'm ready to go. Let's go kick some ass."
Hardly audible, Ellie muttered, "I plan on it."

Lucas' and Jackson's Bedroom
The first floor of the Mayweather Old West building was thankfully empty. That made it all the easier for Jessica to chuck a resonably sized rock into the back of the hallway's only security camera. The expensive piece of equipment fell to the floor, shattered and useless. "We can pay for that." Jessica whispered, making her way toward Lucas and Jaxson's dorm room door. "Knock knock." Sterling's black converse slammed into the door, snapping its metal hinging and sending the piece of wood flying into the wall. "We can pay for that too." She glanced around, scoping the room for her target. "I think this is Jackson's side. Let's leave his stuff alone." She said, waving a hand toward the slightly less despicable side of the room.
Never did Eliana expect to participate in school vandalism but there was always a first for everything. Her nerves were cleared away when pure excitement came rolling in. The thrill of sneaking into someone's room and paying her respects, especially someone she despised, felt unbelievably good. Ellie could only imagine how Lucas would react to his room being hit just as bad as her's, or even worse (truly, it depended on how he judged the damage done). Looking around to see that the hallway was still silent, Ellie tiptoed on the door that was now on the floor and entered the boys' room. "Maybe we should... eh, we'll make this quick." She was going to suggest putting the door up while they did their business, but if they truly focused, they could get this done in no time - ideally, with no witnesses. Goal: "Sophisticated" Destruction. Immediately, Ellie went to his desk and dragged his seat to his dresser, since his window was above it and she was short.
"I can do that." Jess said, standing behind the elevated Lovelace. She grabbed the top drawer and pulled it out. "Can you lift this?"
"The drawer?" Not waiting for a response, she took the drawer from her friend but the moment it was in her grasp, Ellie slumped downward. The struggle was real. Jess rolled her eyes, placing a single finger under the drawer to hold it up. "You need to hit the gym."
"I like to read... not lift." Jumping down the chair, she went to the pile of shirts on the floor and grabbed them, hoping to god they were clean, "What a pig." she muttered in disgust. Making her way toward Jess who was dealing with the clothes in the drawers, she gave her the offering of t-shirts.
Jessica took a step up onto the chair, pushing open the window with her free hand. It took a bit of elbow grease, but Sterling managed to fit the thing out of the tiny hole and tossed the drawer out the window and into the grass below. A few people looked her way, wondering what the hell was going on. She chose to ignore them; instead, Jess moved on to liberating the rest of Lucas's wardrobe and setting it free in the wild.
After Jess took the clothes from her, Ellie made her way to the closet, swinging it open, not trying to be quiet at all (it slammed against the wall). They were on a time crunch. Lucas' closet... was practically empty. He had a small amount of trousers, but for the most part his closet was filled with jeans and one fairly nice suit. Letting her hand touch the soft fabric of the suit, Dream Catcher's gaze softened, clearly taking a liking to it. That was short lived when she started to shake her head to focus. Stop being distracted. Grabbing the little briefs he had, Ellie scurried to the hallway and dropped them a good distance apart (she even hung a couple on other people's door knobs).
Coming back into the room, she took all his jeans, not questioning her deeds, and thought outloud, "Perhaps his pants should be harder to find..." Once again, Ellie took her leave and daringly went to the men's bathroom. *Knock* *Knock* Silence. Perfect. Entering cautiously, the tiny woman slipped into one of the stalls and put as many jeans she could fit in the bowl until it looked filled. Her stare went up to the flusher as she contemplated making the situation worse. She already went this far. Reaching toward the metal bar, she took a deep breath in and pushed on it. Once the toilet made a roar, Ellie jumped back, making sure her heels didn't get wet as water flooded out. The last batch of jeans she just threw in the air and exited the bathroom. The things they were doing were terrible but it felt kind of fun. Was it wrong that she enjoyed getting back at him?
The drawers were now successfully freed from their prison. Jessica looked around the room for something else to destroy. Her eyes lit up with mischief when they stopped on a peculiar boxing ball. "Looks like somebody has anger issues." She muttered to herself. She couldn't see any other reason to have this in his dorm. The Control Room had a perfectly working set of boxing training equipment. It was obviously for personal use. Sterling picked the thing up, stand and all. It was surprisingly well weighted, even for her. "Must use his powers on it.." The Mayweather hero exited the dorm room and jogged down the hall. She spotted a door marked 'Janitor's Closet' and stopped. "Perfect." Jessica proceeded to stuff the large workout equipment in the mess of a room. For added spice, she moved a bunch of stuff around to make getting at it all the more difficult. With all of that finished, Jess walked back to the dorm to see if Eliana had wrapped up with Lucas's jeans.
Both girls ended up going back to the dorm room at the same time, Ellie couldn't help but offer Jess a high five. Her mood was taking a turn for the better. After the girls slapped hands, she strutted into the room once more, no longer anxious or worried. Her and Jess were badass. She could only imagine how pissed Lucas would get when he realized everything that belonged to him was rearranged, "Let's keep his suit untouched. It's too nice." Her stare moved around the room once more, "I don't want to steal his laptop. Do you have any other ideas? I do want to leave him a small note..." Her voice trailed off as she went to his desk. After grabbing a blue pen, she wrote with clean, eloquent cursive on one of his homework assignments: I like your suit. and even added a sticking tongue face to tease him. Maybe he'll be forced to wear it tomorrow, that would be a sight to see, but knowing him he'd wear what he's wearing right now.
"Oooh. I'll get the battery out of his laptop." Jessica turned the computer over, placing her nigh invulnerable fingernail into each screw and slowly pulling them out. It took some time but eventually Invincible was rewarded with the sight of a small black object. "Boom." Sterling handed the device over to Eliana for safe keeping.
Holding onto the battery, Dream Catcher nodded in accomplisment, "I'd say the last thing that really matters is his mattress. Take it and go?" A smirk fell on her face. Ellie couldn't believe she just did all this - but she did and it felt great. "Mind if this..." She held up the battery, "Sits in your room? I know I'd be the first one he visits when he discovers all this."
Jessica took the battery back. "Better idea. If he wants it, he can come take it." She placed the object in her jacket pocket. Invincible moved over to Lucas's bed, grabbing a handful of material and lifting the material into the air. "After you." Wait till he gets a load of this.
Letting out a kid-like giggle, Eliana led the way as her friend followed suit. They didn't even bother to put the door back up. Sorry Jackson. You don't deserve the draft. Blame your roommate.

Arriving at the party...
Eliana and Jessica made their way to the third floor of the Mayweather Old East building after dropping off Lucas's mattress in the fountain. With the sabotage successfully completed, the two girls would finally have a chance to enjoy themselves. Not that smashing up Farweight's dorm wasn't fun; that was all business. The pair of heroes arrived at the stairway to the roof, where there were supposed to be a trio of bouncers keeping Delphina students out. Yet, the Dewey brothers and Danny were no where to be found. A worried frown inched its way onto Sterling's face. "This can't be good." She muttered. Jess led the way up the stairs, expecting the absolute worst when she reached the roof.
The party was already in full swing. People were gathered around in groups, chatting away. The dance floor was sparsely populated but there was just enough activity to make the party seem lively. Jessica recognized most of students from her earlier years. She had spent enough time at Mayweather Academy to get to know the party circuit regulars. Her worried frown transformed into a full on grimace when she spotted Gianna Daniels standing next to Will and Avalon. "Oh no. We've got trouble, two o' clock." Invincible warned her companion.
Bringing her attention to where Jess directed her, Eliana rolled her eyes at the clash of the Queens. They had just entered the building when Sam was making her way to Gianna and it seemed like a bitch fest was about to start. Looking up at her friend, Ellie proposed, "I know we're not the type to get involved... but maybe we should break it up? I doubt the school wants articles about a massive brawl between their students. Mayweather only likes good headliners, after all." She took the next minute to examine the people and the quickest way to stop whatever was going to go down. Her green orbs fell on the Dewey Brothers prowling around the group and Bailey contemplating what song to choose to bring people onto the dance floor. Lowering her voice, she explained her plan, "Can you try to convince the Dewey Brothers to grab a Queen and dance? I'll request a song from Bailey... unless you have a better plan."
"This won't end well." Despite her reservations, Jessica went through with Ellie's plan anyway. She trusted her friend and knew that if she wanted to intervene, it was probably a good idea. Lovelace only got involved when it was absolutely necessary. Sterling slowed her breathing. Relax... She put on her best smile and approached the powder keg of a group, standing between the two Dewey brothers. "Hey guys. Great party." She giggled. Ugh. I sound like an airhead. Whatever. You owe me, El. Jessica pushed on, intent on bringing the plan to fruition. "But there's barely anyone dancing. Nobody likes to be the first one on the floor, ya know?" Pretending that she just had an epiphany, Jess placed a tentative finger to her lips. "I'd bet that they would appreciate their hostesses taking the first dance. Ohhhh, just perfect! Why don't you boys help our queens out with that?" Jessica motioned toward the Dewey brothers. It was well known that they both were falling head over heels for Samantha. Getting one of them to dance with her wouldn't be difficult. Avalon and Gianna, on the other hand, were a different story. "Can I steal him for a second?" Jess scooted over toward Will and grabbed his arms. "Kay, thanks!" She said before Ava could answer. Sterling dragged the hero (perhaps a little too forcefully) to the side. Her demeanor darkened the instant they were out of earshot. "Get those two apart before they start World War Three."
The closer Ellie got to Bailey the more she realized how little she knew about 'club music'. Usually, she wouldn't interfere but the incident with Lucas this morning was enough for her to stop something between some of the more powerful people that walked these school grounds. For people that were older than her (referring to Sam, Ava, and Gia), they seemed like they enjoyed egging each other on a lot more than they should, hoping the other would make the first move so that they could unleash their fury. Why couldn't people just enjoy themselves? Honestly, they may have not led to a brawl, but Dream Catcher wasn't going to risk it. Approaching the girl who had purple headphones around her neck, Ellie timidly waved at her.
"Oh hey Lovelace! What's crackin'?" the DJ cheered, happy to have a visitor. Bringing her hand to her hair, Ellie nervously twirled the strands from the end of her bangs.
"I was wondering if you could play..." She scanned a binder beside her and blurted out, "#27! Uh yeah, that one." Pointing at the binder, she nodded as if she knew the song she had just chosen, "IIt seems like a good party starter, don't you think?"
"Woah! I didn't know you liked music like this. You got it girl. First song of the night goes to you." Bailey winked at the awkward girl as she grabbed a hold of her UPS mouse and went to the song that guest requested on her laptop.
"Make sure it's real loud! I want us to get everyone to the dance floor." Ellie added. The DJ grinned at her, conveying "That's the spirit" through her eyes. When the song Turn Down for What by DJ Snake and Lil Jon BLASTED on, the brunette stared at the DJ, a little intimidated with the song that was playing. What was this? Before Bailey could look up at Ellie, she made her escape, the music filling the entire area. Oddly enough, a bunch of people began rushing to the dance floor... seemed like she chose a popular song. While she walked away, she saw Lucas at the edge of the roof, sitting on the half wall. The fire inside her that had dissipated had risen once more. She needed to make this quick. Making her way to Jay, she shouted, "Get out there and dance with your lady!" She gently pushed him into Sam, a blush instantly falling on his face. Not losing this chance, the younger Dewey grabbed his Queen's hand and pulled her to the dance floor. Lou saw this and his face was in complete shock. He didn't even acknowlege Eliana as the culprit. His glare followed his brother like a hawk. As if the dominoes had fallen, Lou Dewey grabbed Ava's hand and pulled her to the dance floor to make sure his brother didn't get 'touchy feely' with Sam.
Gia locked eyes with Ellie and gave her a smirk, as if she understood what was going on. Handing her drink to the tiny girl that set things in motion, the sex goddess turned to where Jess was talking to Will. The Delphina Queen made her way to them.
First, Psyche glanced at Jess and grinned, "I'll take it from here." Bringing her attention to Will, with her capitivating eyes, Gia cooed, "Come on Hero-boy, show me what you're made of." Grabbing onto his arm, she giggled, giving him no choice in the matter, "Let's enjoy ourselves, shall we?"
The closer they got to Sam, the more excited Gia became. She couldn't help but meet eyes with her, having an idea that perhaps the Dewey brothers were onto something - Sam must have a thing for Will.
With slightly widen eyes, Ellie realized what she did, not knowing if that was smart of her or not. Taking her doubts out of her mind by shaking her head, she absentmindely took a sip of the stranger's punch. No, she didn't sip. She chugged the rest down. "Time for me to deal with my problem. Go enjoy yourself and thanks for everything, Jess."
Inhaling in, Eliana gracefully made her way to the horrendous man, enjoying his own bliss. Passing a garbage can, she threw away the cup. Immediately afterwards, she grabbed onto the bottom of her dress as her body gradually became buzzed. You got this... just ask him to kindly... maybe that'll work. God, who am I kidding? This is fucking Lucas. He's no diplomat. Coming out of no where, she gently tapped his shoulder, "We need to talk."
The party was already in full swing. People were gathered around in groups, chatting away. The dance floor was sparsely populated but there was just enough activity to make the party seem lively. Jessica recognized most of students from her earlier years. She had spent enough time at Mayweather Academy to get to know the party circuit regulars.

Lowering her voice, she explained her plan, "Can you try to convince the Dewey Brothers to grab a Queen and dance? I'll request a song from Bailey... unless you have a better plan."
"This won't end well." Despite her reservations, Jessica went through with Ellie's plan anyway. She trusted her friend and knew that if she wanted to intervene, it was probably a good idea. Lovelace only got involved when it was absolutely necessary. Sterling slowed her breathing. Relax... She put on her best smile and approached the powder keg of a group, standing between the two Dewey brothers. "Hey guys. Great party." She giggled. Ugh. I sound like an airhead. Whatever. You owe me, El. Jessica pushed on, intent on bringing the plan to fruition. "But there's barely anyone dancing. Nobody likes to be the first one on the floor, ya know?" Pretending that she just had an epiphany, Jess placed a tentative finger to her lips. "I'd bet that they would appreciate their hostesses taking the first dance. Ohhhh, just perfect! Why don't you boys help our queens out with that?" Jessica motioned toward the Dewey brothers. It was well known that they both were falling head over heels for Samantha. Getting one of them to dance with her wouldn't be difficult. Avalon and Gianna, on the other hand, were a different story. "Can I steal him for a second?" Jess scooted over toward Will and grabbed his arms. "Kay, thanks!" She said before Ava could answer. Sterling dragged the hero (perhaps a little too forcefully) to the side. Her demeanor darkened the instant they were out of earshot. "Get those two apart before they start World War Three."
The closer Ellie got to Bailey the more she realized how little she knew about 'club music'. Usually, she wouldn't interfere but the incident with Lucas this morning was enough for her to stop something between some of the more powerful people that walked these school grounds. For people that were older than her (referring to Sam, Ava, and Gia), they seemed like they enjoyed egging each other on a lot more than they should, hoping the other would make the first move so that they could unleash their fury. Why couldn't people just enjoy themselves? Honestly, they may have not led to a brawl, but Dream Catcher wasn't going to risk it. Approaching the girl who had purple headphones around her neck, Ellie timidly waved at her.
"Oh hey Lovelace! What's crackin'?" the DJ cheered, happy to have a visitor. Bringing her hand to her hair, Ellie nervously twirled the strands from the end of her bangs.
"I was wondering if you could play..." She scanned a binder beside her and blurted out, "#27! Uh yeah, that one." Pointing at the binder, she nodded as if she knew the song she had just chosen, "IIt seems like a good party starter, don't you think?"
"Woah! I didn't know you liked music like this. You got it girl. First song of the night goes to you." Bailey winked at the awkward girl as she grabbed a hold of her UPS mouse and went to the song that guest requested on her laptop.
"Make sure it's real loud! I want us to get everyone to the dance floor." Ellie added. The DJ grinned at her, conveying "That's the spirit" through her eyes. When the song Turn Down for What by DJ Snake and Lil Jon BLASTED on, the brunette stared at the DJ, a little intimidated with the song that was playing. What was this? Before Bailey could look up at Ellie, she made her escape, the music filling the entire area. Oddly enough, a bunch of people began rushing to the dance floor... seemed like she chose a popular song. While she walked away, she saw Lucas at the edge of the roof, sitting on the half wall. The fire inside her that had dissipated had risen once more. She needed to make this quick. Making her way to Jay, she shouted, "Get out there and dance with your lady!" She gently pushed him into Sam, a blush instantly falling on his face. Not losing this chance, the younger Dewey grabbed his Queen's hand and pulled her to the dance floor. Lou saw this and his face was in complete shock. He didn't even acknowlege Eliana as the culprit. His glare followed his brother like a hawk. As if the dominoes had fallen, Lou Dewey grabbed Ava's hand and pulled her to the dance floor to make sure his brother didn't get 'touchy feely' with Sam.
Gia locked eyes with Ellie and gave her a smirk, as if she understood what was going on. Handing her drink to the tiny girl that set things in motion, the sex goddess turned to where Jess was talking to Will. The Delphina Queen made her way to them.
First, Psyche glanced at Jess and grinned, "I'll take it from here." Bringing her attention to Will, with her capitivating eyes, Gia cooed, "Come on Hero-boy, show me what you're made of." Grabbing onto his arm, she giggled, giving him no choice in the matter, "Let's enjoy ourselves, shall we?"
The closer they got to Sam, the more excited Gia became. She couldn't help but meet eyes with her, having an idea that perhaps the Dewey brothers were onto something - Sam must have a thing for Will.
With slightly widen eyes, Ellie realized what she did, not knowing if that was smart of her or not. Taking her doubts out of her mind by shaking her head, she absentmindely took a sip of the stranger's punch. No, she didn't sip. She chugged the rest down. "Time for me to deal with my problem. Go enjoy yourself and thanks for everything, Jess."
Inhaling in, Eliana gracefully made her way to the horrendous man, enjoying his own bliss. Passing a garbage can, she threw away the cup. Immediately afterwards, she grabbed onto the bottom of her dress as her body gradually became buzzed. You got this... just ask him to kindly... maybe that'll work. God, who am I kidding? This is fucking Lucas. He's no diplomat. Coming out of no where, she gently tapped his shoulder, "We need to talk."
