What am I doing? the more logical part of Adrian's mind thought as he stared up at the building where the Halloween party had been held barely two weeks ago, his radio hanging loosely in his hand as he contemplated this slightly out of character move he was about to make. Perhaps he had become braver with his semi-fame and hadn't even realized it until he caught sight of that beautiful woman. He hadn't been able to get his mind off of her at all, no matter how hard he had tried to concentrate on other things, if only for his own sanity. Surely she was taken. Yet he found himself here, at least with hopes of winning her as she had won him. At least he would be able to say that he tried.
Meanwhile, Andrea Waxon was spending some time with the first friend she had made in the past two years. Ever since Star died, she had, basically, been on her own and she hadn't really spoken to anyone besides customers, fellow employees and her boss on a regular basis. That was, when you thought of it that way, incredibly sad, so she was glad that she had run into Anna that day at the Life and they had become friends. She was especially glad to be out of her own apartment, even if it was only a couple of floors away. All the same, a little more conversation would be nice, if only so Drea could have something to listen to. Silence made her go even more nuts than having to think of something to say.
"Anna?"

Anna had asked Andrea,who was like one of her best friends now in New York, to visit her and talk to her for a little while--some friend Anna was being! She hardly even said a word to Andrea and how could she? She hardly thought about anyone but that man---Adrian. She had hardly thought about anything else--they only met two weeks ago and yet---yet,she had a crush on him. He was so handsome---charming and sweet as well. But proably taken--she did not know why but she had a little crush on him. She had been taken out of her daydream when she heard Drea ask her name. Anna snapped and went"Huh? Oh,I'm sorry,Drea. I've been daydreaming a lot lately---sorry if I spaced out on you. I'm not being a good friend,am I?"

So long as Anna was still with the land of the living, Drea didn't really care if she didn't pay that much attention to her. Truthfully, she wasn't that crazy about attention to begin with. "Oh Anna, don't worry about it. I was just worried that something was bothering you," she assured her friend, although her eyes were still narrowed with concern. "Nothing's bothering you, right?" And if it really isn't, then why are you spacing out like that? was Drea's real question, but she didn't want to pry too much, lest it make her lose the only friend she had made in two years. "Please, don't worry about being a good hostess. It's just me, after all. It's not like I'm someone you need to impress." Someone feeling the need to impress her...now that came from an excellent fantasy world. All her life, it had been quite the opposite, with some people taking full advantage of her desire for approval.

"Are you sure you don't want to come?" Cathy asked as she and Adam walked the halls, Faith in Cathy's arms. Adam was supposed to be going to work, but Cathy was trying to convince him to just...chill out for a day and come to the park with them. He needed some fun in his life, had he ever had any fun in his life? It seems that in his life he was ethier pretending to be some bad boy rebel or depressed and working to hard, it was well...depressing.
"Daddy, I wants yous to play with me!" Faith said, her eyes wide with sadness.
"Oh honey," Adam said and toke her little hand in his, "I promise, one day you'll have a big room of your own with lots of room to play and we can play together all we want."
Cathy sighed. A big house was what Adam wanted for them, he didn't want them crammed in a tiny apartment, he felt they needed space.
"What good is a big house if it means seperation from the ones you love?" Cathy asked and Adam kissed her, promised he'd come back if he had time and left. Cathy sighed and put her daughter, who was getting antsy, down and they walked the hall together so they could go to the park.
"Mommy, do you think Daddy doesn't know how to play?" Faith asked, but before Cathy could say anything, Faith squealed, "Anna!" and ran the room next to them.
Cathy ran in with her, looking a bit worried. She shouldn't go of in rooms like that, expescially not in New York. "Faith, what are you..." she then looked up, noticing who was in there, "Oh, hi Anna."

Anna was honestly glad that Andrea was not made at her at all especially since she was one of the friends she had in New York. Well,besides Faith and her mother Cathy. Annaliese smiled and grinned to Drea as she replied,"Yeah,I'm fine--I just have a lot on my mind." Or someone is on my mind Annaliese then smiled lightly as she adjusted herself on her couch right at the moment that Faith ran in. Anna squealed and replied,"Well,well,look who it is. Little cute Faith--I knew I left that door open." Anna then smiled as she saw Cathy walk in and replied,"Oh,hey Cathy. How lovely to see you again."Annaliese then jumped up in her blue casual dress and thought introductions were due. "Cathy and Faith,this is Andrea Waxon,a good friend of mine. Drea,this is Cathy and Faith Parker. Faith is Cathy's cute adorable daughter. They are both really good friends of mine as well."Annaliese then grinned and replied,"We are all friends here aren't we?"Anna then ran to her kitchen and aked,"Anybody want something to drink? I got water,orange juice and some iced tea I made today."

Andrea nodded when Anna said that she simply had a lot on her mind. She knew exactly how that felt. Really, being the only somewhat calm person in a place where two lovers were going to be torn apart because of a disease that coursed through one of the girl's veins was definitely something to keep you up at night. "Do you want to talk about it?" she asked lightly, as if to let her know that it was completely optional. After all, everyone was entitled to their own secrets, and she would be the worst hypocrite in the world if she tried to pry something out of Anna.
Out of the blue, she heard a high pitched squeal, "Anna!" from outside. She spun around in her seat to see a tiny girl with dark hair and a huge grin on her face. This girl was soon followed by a pretty, petite red head. Like she often did when she met new people unexpectedly, Drea felt herself blushing and her heart racing. Just great, she thought. She wasn't at all prepared for this! Anna probably wasn't either, yet she was able to compose herself. Obviously, she knew these people, as she was introducing them to her. Drea was slightly surprised when she said that the redhead was the girl's mother. Dear Lord, she's so young... She quickly slapped herself mentally for that. She couldn't be rude about those sorts of things!
"I-it's nice to meet you both," she said quietly, trying hard to smile. She might as well have been wearing a neon sign that said "Lacks Social Skills!" on her forehead. Just then, she could hear music from...somewhere. "What was that?" she asked after turning toward the window, where it seemed to be the loudest.
Adrian took a deep breath. He had come all this way...he was going to do it. With a push of a button, the opening melody to "Take My Breath Away" started playing.

Anna smiled to Drea,knowing that she was a little shy around new people and she mouthed to her friend,'I'm sorry' and winced but she stopped in what she was doing as she heard the music too and said,"I think it's music coming from outside,Drea..."Anna then laughed as she walked to her window and opened it. She reconized the music and said,"Oh,my god. That's my favorite song...who?" She then looked down to the ground and saw Adrian,her eyes didn't widen. She gasped as tears of happiness formed in her eyes. "Oh,my god--he's gonna seranade me?" Anna walked out to the small balcony as she waited--if he was going to seranade,he was going to sing....was he a singer? Anna didn't know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile,Mark Cohen was sitting on his couch and he heard the music and he raised an eyebrow,asking himself,"What the hell?" It was coming from down the hall. Annaliese...he knew her because she was friends with Roger. He got up from the couch,groaning as he walked out of his apartment and towards Anna's own. This was his resting/creativity time--if there was music outside,he would be distracted.

It took almost no time at all for the girl he had been waiting to see for the past few days to come to the window. That was about when his anxiety fell to the ground and the suave person that people claimed that Adrian was began to emerge. He waved at her, keeping a tight grip on the music player and his eyes never leaving Anna as he grinned. He actually missed the cue to begin for a quick second, but he snapped out of his daze and was able to hurry through the first few lyrics. God, I hope she didn't notice... "Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game/On this endless ocean, finally lovers know no shame...." That would be nice, wouldn't it? They were both being far too shy for their own good here.
By now, Andrea was staring at where her friend was, completely stunned. She was being serenaded. A whole wave of emotions was crashing onto Drea, many of them contradictory; she was overjoyed for Anna, she was jealous, she was lonely, she was moved by the kindness of her admirer...it was pretty insane. She had almost forgotten about the rest of the world, because this was so...unreal. But then she heard some footsteps from outside. She turned her head, catching sight of someone walking toward the apartment. That was when she was sure that time had stood still.

Screw being near by the window! She was being seranaded and she wanted to look at Adrian. She had a little balcony,she might as well use it. But her heart pounded so loudly within her chest and she could hear it within her ears. Oh,my god....she was utterly left specchless. He was handsome,suave and a good singer too. Annaliese had to admit for the first time in her life,she had not been so stunned---not in her life. As Anna walked out onto her balcony,she smiled at Adrian as she listened to him sing and she wondered if he minded that she sang too,''Turning and returning to some secret place inside,watching in slow motion
as you turn around and say...take my breath away..."
Mark had made his way down to Anna's apartment and noticed that her door was open,she always left her door open--that really ticked him off. Mark saw that one girl,one of Anna's friends was looking at him---he smiled ackwardly and asked,"What is going on out there?"
