Who: Zane and open to all attendees
Where: Avarice
When: Saturday Evening - October 30

Zane arrived prior to the official start of the Halloween Dance in her chosen costume for the evening. While she was sure most would go the character route, Zane had chosen to go historical with an ivory flapper costume. The teen wanted to get some good photos before her peers started to arrive. Once that happened Zane was sure she'd be kept busy snapping pictures as she had set up a place at the back of the club to take photos of anyone who might be wanting a momento from that night. The teen was quite impressed with the way Clarity and her little dance committee had decorated the place for the night and finally set to work capturing their work onto film.

Who: Nichelle and Bethany
Where: Regan High
When:  Thursday Afternoon - September 30
 
 

With a smug grin and crossing of her arms over her chest Nichelle leaned back against a locker as she watched the red head across the hall from her fiddle with her locker a moment before she got it open. Nichelle just wished she could catch the expression on the red haired teens face when she saw the little present she left for the girl. Maybe it was because of what she was, but whatever the reason might be, Shally had a thing for anything panther-shaped. She had a nice little collection of panther related things in her room at the family's new house. Well, that was minus the cute little black panther figure placed in one Bethany Bale's locker.
 
Bethany was, ridiculously enough, humming happily to herself as she opened her locker to get her books for the evening (Hey. She liked school, ok? STFU). When she suddenly saw the small panther, she cut off her humming with an adorable squeak, and muttered, to herself, "...Shally?"

Who: Bethany & Meeghan
Where: Full Moon Records main studio
When: Friday night, May 21st

Young Bethany Bale was usually one of the more calm, collected, and almost maddeningly rational of her family. So why was she practically bouncing off the walls right now, as she walked through the studio her family owned? The fact that Bronte had been true to her word, and set up a meeting between the young redhead and her favorite singer, Meeghan Gregory. Bethany LOVED the woman's voice, and just knew, deep down, that she'd become HUGE eventually. Yeah, and then? She could brag about how SHE was a fan back when nobody else knew her.

She'd dressed in her most 'rock' get up (which for her? Sadly was just light blue jeans, a Metallica tee shirt, and a silver ball-bearing necklace), and peeked into the recording studio, that voice not much more than a mere squeak.

"...hello? Am... am I interupting anything?"

Who: Bethany, OT Bronte
Where: Bronte's Beach House
When: Saturday night


Most sixteen year old girls would be spending a beautiful, warm Saturday night out with their friends. Clubbing it. Shopping. SOMETHING.

But most girls weren't Bethany Bale. Everything about her was atypical. She was a Slayer. She was the ONE member of her family that WASN'T a werewolf. Add to those the more normal social crutches of being horrifyingly shy, very introverted, and too emotionally mature to want to enjoy things most girls her age would, and you had a girl that wasn't exactly drowning in friends and places to be.

Still, she was a happy girl, despite all that had happened to her. Even though her own parents were so ashamed of her that they lied and told people their daughter was dead, she was the type to take lemons and make lemonade. She had two 'foster mothers' now, for lack of better terms. She had her Watcher, Isabella. She was an occasionally cold and tough woman, but one who seemed to genuinely care for Bethany and her well-being. And then she had her cousin Bronte, who was more or less her role model. Bronte was.. well... almsot exactly like Isabella in a lot of ways. A tough, driven woman who was occasionally emotionally cold. Luckily, Bethany seemed to be the ONE person Bronte never put that front on around.

So she spent her saturday night just redecorating her room at Bronte's place (and how was it that now she could stay with Bronte AND with Isabella, basically giving her two bedrooms and two houses?) with a few posters and such. She had just put one of her favorite band, The Lazarus Project, next to her bed, and now was putting up a promo pinup she'd gotten from Ben of one of the label's newer artists, Meeghan Gregory. The little redhead LOVED the woman's voice, and had been listening to the demo she'd jacked from her cousins almost constantly. She was, as usual, so quiet that someone who didn't know her might suspect she was a mute.

Who: Bethany and Isabella
Where: Sugar Shack's basement
When: Wednesday, March 10th

( Or: where Isabella and Bethany discuss relationships and heartache )

Who: Grant, OT Bronte and possibly Bethany
Where: Grant's house
When: New Year's Eve (backdated)

This was, to Grant, pretty much made of AWESOME. It was New Year's Eve, and all seemed great. Thanks to a few great deals he'd made with some advertisers, sponsors, and talent for Ben's label, the man was pulling in some major bank right now... add to that the fact that he had his crazy-hot girlfriend at his place for the evening, and seriously, it'd take a LOT of get him off his cloud tonight.

He'd called and ordered some Chinese food for them (and for Bethany, who Grant had told Bronte she could bring along. The girl was sweet, and they got along well enough) as was his usual New Year's Eve tradition, as well as having several types of drinks (and plenty of soda for Bethany) in the kitchen.

"So..." he said, grinning at Bronte with a wink. "Enjoying your stay at Casa de Grant?"

Who: The Bale clan and their SOs
Where: Bronte's Beach House
When: Thursday Afternoon(around 3) - December 24

Like was typical of most men when the holiday came around, Grant was sacked out on the couch in the living room while the women, in this instant Bronte and Bethany, were in the kitchen preparing the Christmas Eve meal. Bethany had been put in charge, or rather had claimed the honor of making mashed potatoes from scratch and batches and batches of cookies to be served as part of the dessert coarse. Bronte already had the traditional Christmas ham in the oven and was busy preparing a broccali casserole for baking. Dinner for the Bale family had been planned for four that afternoon, but the scheduled time had never prevented the invited from showing up early, and Bronte had a feeling that by the time the clock hit the stroke of four the beach house would already have been filled with the Bale family and their significant others.

Who: Isabella and Bethany
Where: The Basement of Chloe's Sugar Shack
When: Directly after this scene. Monday Morning, Nov. 30th

( Shy? Tick. Capable? Hrmh. To be determined. )

Who: Bronte and Bethany
Where: Bronte's Beach House
When: Friday Evening - December 4

Bronte had picked up Bethany from Bailey's place for an over night stay at the beach house. It seemed like that ever since the girl's return into the family fold that she and Bethany had talked at least a few moments every day, and it had been during one of those chats that it was decided Bronte would take the girl over night. She had remembered what the times were like when they were younger and Bethany had been left in Bronte's care for an evening. The blonde tried replicating those times by making sure she had Bethany's favorite foods and drink on hand and a couple current movies, along with one or two that had been the girl's favorites those few years back. She wanted her younger cousin to feel welcome and wanted now that Bethany was back with her family where she belonged.

Bethany, for her part, was thrilled. She felt like a little girl again, and almost squealed as she pranced into Bronte's home. The redhead grinned cutely and looked around with a sparkle in her eyes. "This place is GREAT, Bronte. I'm totally remembering why I always used to wish you were my mom."

( I need gossip! )

Who: Isabella and Giles
When: Monday Morning, Nov. 30th (just after 9am)
Where: Giles’ House

Isabella had fully intended to drop by Giles’ house after she’d cleaned herself up at the hotel yesterday morning, but as soon as she’d gotten into the tub she decided that a day of rest could only be a good thing. She needed time to adjust to the climate and the funky hours just as much as any other person (and she secretly didn’t want Rupert to cotton on to the fact that she’d injured herself, even if it was in the defence of someone else). So she’d called and arranged to meet him this morning instead.

It was a little after 9am when she arrived at his doorstep, wearing black running shoes, tight-fitting blue jeans, a studded belt, a plain white t-shirt and a black leather jacket that looked a little worse for wear. She was loathe to be up so early, honestly, but she’d made plans and she wasn’t about to break them. She hesitated a moment, then drew a fist up to knock on his door. She would never admit it, but she had a lot of nervous energy bubbling inside her. She wasn’t really sure what Rupert had planned for her, and just seeing him again would be nice... It had been a while. Of course, you couldn’t tell that she was nervous, given her stony-faced expression. She really should play poker sometime...

Who: Bethany & Bronte
Where: Avarice
When: Friday evening

Thank God for Baily. Those four words kept resonating through the mind of young Bethany Bale, as she realized that her older sister had done all the workd for her in contacting the other local family members and telling them what had happened.

She realized that her parents had been quite vile. Literally hiding your child away, telling the rest of the family she was dead, just because you were ashamed of her, was pretty high on the douchebaggery scale, but Bethany couldn't hate them. She more... pitied them.

Besides... how could she pity herself? While she used to feel weird, being the ONE pureblood Bale who couldn't transform into a wolf... she found that now she was the first Bale in history to be a Vampire Slayer. Weird? Naw... she felt SPECIAL.

Besides... now was the awkward but fun part: reconnecting with her long-lost family. Starting with her favorite cousin. The one who would babysit her as a child, and was her best friend as well. Bronte.

She wanted to meet at someplace more her style, but Baily had told her Bronte was working Friday night, and if she wanted to talk, they had to meet at Avarice. Oh well. Eardrums be damned, right? So the young redhead nervously walked in, arms crossed, looking a little out of place in a red sweater, tight bluejeans with ripped knees, and plain white sneakers, her hair tied back in a very loose ponytail.
