A tall, slim figure entered onto the dark roof. The strange shape on it's back bounced as the figure shut the door to the insidse world. The figure wallked quietly over to the edge of the roof, where it sat down. It took the object from it's back and strummed it, identifying it as a guitar. The moon slid from behind a cloud, revealing it as a young woman who was silently tuning her instrument.

Maybe this coming out onto the roof at night idea wasn't so bad after all. It's quite, and there is no one around to watch or laugh or cheer. I like it.

Dani had taken the spiralling stairs up to the roof because she wanted to be alone. She didn't like all those peopletelling her she was good and then getting into arguments with people who though she didn't. Dani was in the lounge. Thats where it all started. Everyone was listening with content, until one boy asked her to stop. some of the people said she could keep going if she wanted. Others spoke up and told her to stop.

Dani had ended up slipping out and running. She was afraid of some of the people around here, being all mean and cold like they were. By the time she had made it to the roof, it had all stopped, but she heard that someone had to be taken to the hospital wing. Dani felt bad. She knew she shouldn't have played there, she just knew it! Around all those people, she had wondered why she had not been scared like she usually is. She almost flicked on her power by accident.

She strummed a couple of notes and tightened and loosened the strings a bit before she plucked a few notes.

"She's a lover, baby and a fighter. Shoulda seen it comin' when it got a little brighter. With a name like Dani California, Day was gonna come when I was gonna warn ya." Sighing, Dani felt at peace with herself. She always did when she sang her song.

Shade sat silently on the roof taking in the stars and watching the glow from the heat left over from the sun. The ever changing colors of the sky in all it's beauty. His glowing eyes looking to the heavens.
As he listened to the sounds of the forest outside preparing for sleep he heard an unnatural sound. Someone was joining him on the roof.

Shade listened as someone sat down and began to play guitar. He looked over to see a young woman begin to sing. After her song was finished he sat quietly for a few moments and then said, "Nice song, who's it about?"

Dani's head snapped up. She looked for a figure of a boy to find out where the person who spoke was.

"It's about A girl. Her parents were not ordinary, so she grew up stranger. She is a very outgoing girl who talks alot and is carefree. She robbbed all the banks in Indiana and had a nice, big rifle."

Dani laughed.

"My name's Dani. Dani California. And you are?"

Dani chuckled and shook her head.

"It's kinda my nickname, but it's what I put on the cards." Dani rested her chin on her guitar. "Why? People. Mean people." She blew out a big breath and looked up at Shade. "And why are you here this early in the morning?"

"Sme reason as you. To get away from the people. I hate crowds," he said as he sat down again. "I like to watch the stars, and the forest."

Dani grinned. "I love going out into the forest! Itss nice and quite, but really never all that quite. Plus, not many people like to get their hands dirty or their knees scraped." She shrugged. "I grew up around a forest, so I can go there and know exactly where I'll be."
Dani looked up. "As for the stars... I like picking out shapes from them, and she how complex they can be. I usually don't go outside at this time, because I'm asleep, but," she yawned, "I must have deccided against my normal decisions."

"I sleep during the day. And as for knee scraping, I can see in the dark so I don't normally fall. And if you get deep enough, the forest can be quiet."

Dani nodded. "I wish I could do something that cool. Sometimes I can't even use my power. As for me, I'm not nocturnal, but I think the idea of it is cool." Dani turned her head around and looked down. "Ugghhh... We're high." Dani swiveled her head back around and shuddered. She was scared of highs. Trees didn't bother her, they had branches to grab, but this was cold, hard brick leading hard, solid conrete.
