okay here's the beginning, well at least the beginning of my story. It's VERY dramatic, and probably doesn't use much punctuation (not one of my fav things in the world even if I want to be a writer and I am working on it so don't get on my case okay?) I warned you so *gulp* enjoy...

Down town London, England
flat23m. Cherry Lane
Alianne Morrigan laid sprawled a crossed her bed reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin when a voice from beyond her door called
“Alianne”
“Yes” she absently replied
“Come here please” reluctantly Alianne put her bookmark in and nimbly rolled of the bed and walk into the small kitchen
“It’s Aly, Caroline”
“No, it’s Aly when you answer the first time then about the fifth I start to use your full name now were was I _could you please run to the Liddell for me and get some milk and butter there’s some pounds on the table” she jerked her head in the direction on the small round table.
“That should cover it, there’s a note at the on the table something about a surprise at the book store or something or other” Aly held back a sigh and said
“I’ll go aunt just let me grab my pack” Aly dashed back into her bedroom somersaulting across the bed grabbed the ragged black side pack and climbed back over the bed into the kitchen grabbed the pounds on the table and ran out the door barely stopping to here her aunt’s call of
“Be back by 6:30” as Aly started down the 23 flights of stairs she glanced at her watch 4:45 two hours and forty-five minutes to get butter and milk even if she stopped at the book store that was a lot of time even with a twenty minute walk well, fifteen if you ran even though her aunt had been gracious. Aly arrived at the Liddell in good time almost completely out of breath she glanced at her watch thirteen minutes exactly a record
“Not bad” she mumbled taking time to catch her breath she entered the bookstore next door. A warm highly American accented voice greeted her
“Good day Miss Aly” a board grins spread across her face as she turned to the counter where she saw leaning against the counter a gangly boy with wavy dark hair and even darker eyes
“Will” she cried and through herself into a bone crushing hug
“I thought you were in American for the another two weeks because your Mum’s Gran thought to much of us Brits were bad for her little William, and took you away for the summer to those bloody Americas to knock some manners into her boy” Said Aly calmly to her best friend when he released her “so how’d you escape? I have exactly one hour and twenty – seven minutes and thirty_-two seconds but I still have to buy milk and butter, were you too much trouble again? Did you escape by commandeering a yacht? What are the Americas like? Did they try to brain wash you? What are the Americas like? Was it terrible bad? Were_” seeing the amused look on will’s face she asked
“What?”
“Nothing you do know I am working for another half-hour?” he asked
“Yah so I talk to you all the time when you’re working” replied Aly thinking this story’s got to be juicy
“well there’s a new rule here that says employees can’t talk to costumers while on the job come back tomorrow and I’ll take you to lunch tell you” Aly caught the lie and raised a single eyebrow pretending she hadn’t caught the lie she pleadingly
“I can go punch in if it makes you fill better” Aly teased
“no that’s really fine you can just come to lunch at my house tomorrow, then please”
“please tell me now? Please_ please” she rolled her lower lip in a plea; Will made the mistake of looking at her face.
“Fine” He said exasperated Aly flashed a triumphant grin and jumped the counter, landed neatly and sat down on one of the two stools behind the counter before Will had even begun to move toward the other
“All details and no more lies! If you lie again I’ll make a bloody mess you” she said narrowing her eyes
“Then I’ll have to tell the truth a trifle with you is very painful and very well could be deadly I personally like my life so far_” Aly punched him in the shoulder lightly
“Shut-up and tell me what happened Will” he sighed and said
“You’re demanding” he complained Aly smiled sweetly
“Why thank you I’ve never been paid such a high complement before now will you please tell me what happened” Will sigh glanced at the two customers in the store, flipped the fan’s switch to high and turned to Aly and started
“Aly I’ am not the good little boy that stay’s out of trouble, and usual I don’t go looking for it but it has a uncanny ability of find me at the worst of times” Aly duck to hide a smile ‘of course you don’t go looking for it’ she thought to herself as will continued “you know how I told you Gran goes to that brig club and she drags me along really to show of her ‘grandson’ well technically I’ am suppose to go the brig and wait till she done, it’s so boring its not even funny and let’s just say I snuck out and there was a very pretty girl she seemed to be almost like the British girl’s here” Aly rolled her eye’s there was a sinking sensation in her stomach she wrote it off not paying any attention to it
“And you just had to sneak out and say hi right” she said in a very sarcastic voice
“Well yeah I thought she was special” ‘aren’t they all?’ Aly thought to herself but instead she gave a knowing grin
“Well you see this girl neglected to say she had a boyfriend and the boyfriend found out ant let’s just call it an argument, snobby little rich boy thought he could out go my fighting skills” Will grinned broadly at his own joke Aly raised an eyebrow
“so what was her name?” will winced
“your to curious Aly” Aly just watched him intently “Brenna I thought she was nice but she was just like all the other rich girls I’ve dated a snob” Aly shook her head in disappointment “Will, you will never secede to amaze me, you said yourself that American girls are snobs and know you just said you thought one was like us beautiful, smart, kind British girls, my respect of you just dropped” he shook his head and said “ no now I’ve got my mind strait I realize what snobs Americans are and that I like Half blood devious British girls with Sprite and stubborn minds that are dreadfully frank” their eyes meet and there was a very strange moment for Aly as felt her cheeks grow slightly warm before she said
“I don’t know where you can find a girl like that but if I find out I’ll let you know” Will laughed
“God I’ve missed you Aly” Aly rolled her eyes
“of course you did, I’ am sorry you can’t find that girl and you keep looking in the wrong spots but we’re only 13 now listen to me closely the moment a ‘nice’ girl lies dump her like a hot pocket” Will nodded solemnly before saying
“do all girls lie Aly?” Aly took a moment to consider then said
“no_ maybe all American girls do but the few I’ve known I can observe this the American girls will tell a flat out lie with out thinking about it for the most easy situations where the truth would be way easier to deal with, while a British girl will tell a flat out lie in a deathly situation but most of the time we just twist the truth keep back important facts” she tipped her head to one side and said “but when you think about that could be argued as worse than a lie_ so how’d that fight turn out did Brenna cry for you or her boyfriend?” will chuckled “of course her boyfriend she was just using me” Aly shook her head again
“I thought you learned your lesson from that Charlotte” Will winced
“don’t remind me”
“well between me and that Brenna I think we won’t let you forget that lesson” Will glared at her she smiled sweetly at him again
“we’re still doing lunch tomorrow I’ll bring left over’s Lord knows we have enough and I’ll tell you all the good gossip see ya” and with that she jumped off her stool and with a fleeting hug, was gone. Will started after her for a moment before helping the clearly impatient customer.
