*Anneke pulled her shoes and stockings off her feet and let her adorable little toes dabble in the cool lake water. On such a sunny day, she could hardly stand her heavy female garments, and wished her usual boy's clothes had been mended sooner after being torn to shreds by that horrid would-be rapist. A glance around proved no one was about, and the air was hot, heavy and still, like a dusty blanket, warm on her neck and shoulders.* Who will know? *She thought, a devious grin spreading across her face. Although her broken wrist impeded her a little, she managed to slowly unbutton her bodice and slipped out of her blouse and skirt. Leaving them carelessly strewn with her discarded bonnet, shawl, stockings and shoes, Anneke left on only her chemise, petticoat and pantalettes. The round pebbles rolled roughly under her feet as she walked towards the water. The shock of cold water made her gasp slightly, but it was too deliciously refreshing to resist. Although the water dragged slightly at her petticoat, she lurched forward and launched herself into the water headfirst where it was deep enough. A few moments later, she surfaced and rolled over onto her back, floating lazily, a still white figure in the glassy black waters of the lake. Humming a tune, she smiled slightly and closed her eyes, letting her long golden-brown curls fan out in a silky, rippling wet sheet around her face, like a halo. No sound entered the delicate pink shells of her ears other than the far-away throb of her own pulse amidst a silent rush of water and air when she happened to pull a lazy backstroke. She had taught herself to swim ages ago, and it was many times her only refuge.*

((She don't need no saving. She's just swimming. ^__^ For real. Even Sues can't be in mortal peril all the time.))

*Anneke gasped as colder droplets hit her face. Opening her eyes, she saw the clouded sky and that it was beginning to rain.* "Oh no!" *she cried out and turned in the water, swimming quickly for the shore. She would get wet through, and her dry clothing on the shore would be ruined! At last she scrambled out of the shallows, her hair hanging in dripping golden-brown ropes around her shoulders. She tried to straighten her chemise and petticoat, and realized it was pointless to try and get dressed before going in--it was raining too hard. She scooped up her garments, boots and bonnet and began to walk asquickly as she could towards the opera house, although her wet clinging garments made it slow and torturous progress.* "Oh dear," *she muttered, frowningly. as the rrain pelted down upon her. as she approached the backside of the opera house.*

*Alandra walked to the lake, holding her bloodstained dress, she came here as soon as the rain had stopped and hoped to be able to get the blood out of the dress*
Leave it up to me to ruin one of my only dresses that actually looks decent
*She lay the blue dress down and looked at the laked and let out a sigh of sadness*
Mama, I miss you why did I have to go here. I may be a dancer, but missing you is so hard on my heart
*She picked up her dress and some soap and walked into the watter until she was in knee deep. She then started to wash and her mind went back to memories of laughing with her mother. Alandra slowly begins to sing*
My little girl, let me so you how you must always act stand tall, show them your soul and never forget to laugh.
Be mean and mysterious, and people will find you strange but show your soul and people will know the true you.
Laugh and Dance while you still can, be my little girl, and one day I promise, if that day may come You will enchant them all with your song.
*Alandra laughed and splashed some water around, dancing in it*

Bijan walked out of the opera house and down to the lake, he had seen the lake from his window and had decided to go for a swim, even though it had began to rain. Bijan could see a girl in the lake already, but what she was doing he couldn't tell, but her beautiful voice floated up to him, and he had to get investigate. he could soon see her dancing and splashing, with a smile he sat down near the edge of the lake and watched her.

*Alandra was dancing with such joy and passion that at first she did not notice that somebody was watching her. Her hair was swirling by her movement and her eyes blazing with happiness when she stopped and looked at the edge of the lake and spotted a man sitting there. Surprised Alandra waved at him and decided to meet him*
It is such a lovely day, why not go and talk and make some new friends, he looks rather nice, I hop he doesn't find me strange to be dancing in a lake
*Alandra walked to the man and put here dress, wich luckily had no blood on it anymore, down and bowed politely*
"Bonjour monsieur, A nice day is it not?"

Bijan stood and bowed to Alandra, "yes it is a nice day, and I have never seen anyone dance in the water so well before."

*Alandra smiled and looked at the lake. It was as if the water had made her as happy as she always used to been*
"Well monsieur, dancing in the water is a most simple and fun thing to do, so being good in it really isn't that much of a accomplishment. But one must be thankful for the complements given, so thank you nevertheless.".
*Alandra giggled*
I wonder if he would dance in the water, that would be a fun thing to watch, God I am acting silly today, no aren't I. Ah I blame the water and the sun and dancing
"Would you like to dance with me in the water, or should I go and dance by myself?"

Bijan nodded, "I would love to join you, although I might be a bit clumbsy in the water." Bijan pulled off his shoes and steped into the water then offered Alandra his hand, "may I have the honor to water dance with you?"

*Alandra bowed and layed her hand in his.*
"You may".
*Alandra stepped closer to the man and started dancing, swirling making the water was splash*
"We have not introduced our selfs yet, I'm Alandra, I'm a dancer at the Opera, and you are?"

Bijan smiled as they flew through the water, the water splashed up, and some even got on them, but Bijan hardly noticed it.
"I'm Bijan, and I'm staying at the opera house for now, but at the moment I don't realy have a job."

"Well a capable man like yourself, should surely get a job easily. And I can tell by the way you dance that you could even preform with us. You dance extremely well." *Alandra glanced at the clouds, which looked like sheep in the sky*

Bijan grined, he had never thought as himself as a dancer, "maybe I might give it a try, although I must admit, it's never been something I would have concitered for a career."

"Well". *Alandra said while turning around* "Anything can happen in the Opera, it's a strange place haven't you noticed yet".
