"Raindrops" Keep Falling on my Head [Lyra, Cupid Challenge]
George's temporary solution to the cupid dilemma was to walk around The City under the protection of the umbrella. It wasn't the falling in love part that bothered her, it was the potential for sleeping with someone and never getting a call back that the reaper didn't wish to repeat. Sometimes the living caught glimpses of Cupid. It was sort of like a graveling in that George could follow its movement perfectly. Cupid was bloated and pudgy like a baby with an old man's face.

It sort of scared George.

Staring up ahead on the street George spotted a kid. This struck George as a very bad idea. She didn't want to see some creepy adult man get shot with an arrow and while George was loathe to get involved, she started booking it forward. "Hey! Kid! Look out!"

If they could get indoors somewhere, maybe they would be safe from the insanity outside.

The whole Valentines Day concept had been intriguing young Lyra. It wasn’t something that was celebrated in her world, and she was eager to find out as much as she could about it. To her disappointment, it was simply a day for people to kiss and hold hands. Yuck!

She liked the candy part though, and she’d already managed to acquire an assortment of chocolates and candies.

Lyra and Pan were standing on the pavement, her golden compass gripped tightly in her hands. From the corner of her eye, she could see somebody starting towards her – and thinking it was because of her compass, she snapped it shut, and made a move to run away.

“Look out!” was Pan’s redundant warning, as something came soaring towards her arm.

"Aw, shit."

George wasn't sure if she was supposed to continue running forward. She couldn't bring herself to leave the kid, choosing to wait and see who or what she fell in love with instead.

Just then an arrow caught George in the neck. The reaper closed her eyes and stood there, trying her hardest not to let the arrow take effect. Though being blind would probably not be overly helpful.

"Kid? You okay?"

Lyra wanted to be sullen, and tell the girl to sod off and leave her and the compass alone. But there was something strange pulsing through her body – she felt almost nervous, but excited, and a pink tinge was creeping onto her pale cheeks. Her blue eyes were wide, as she stared at the strange, but pretty girl.

She couldn’t help herself. Lyra threw her arms around the girl, and hugged her tightly. She didn’t know why she wanted to do it, all she knew is that she never wanted to let go!

“Thank you” She sighed in content.

Being hugged abruptly, George's eyes were forced open and she looked down at Lyra. Her mouth opened to let out another string of obscenities but she stopped midway.

George instantly wanted to protect her like a sister, give her all the attention she never gave her actual sister. And then, maybe someday when Lyra was older, it could grow into something that transcended that. She could watch her grow old. Very gently, she pried Lyra's arms off, holding her hand instead.

"Come on. We should go somewhere safe. It's sorta crazy out here. What's your name?"

	Lyra had always chosen the boys over girls. Girls were boring in her world, they were only worried about their clothes and their dolls. But this girl was something else, she didn’t know quite why, but she liked it. Very, very much. Her hand was then enveloped into hers, and she hung on, for sudden fear of loosing her. “Lyra” She smiled. “Whats yours?” (Reply to this) (Parent)
