21 March 2003 - Lorne comes to Tulsa

Lorne

Krevlorneswath of the Deathwok Clan was excited. He loved Shakira's music, loved how she just put her soul into it, so he was looking forward to the concert.He pulled his fedora tight over his head and stood in the corner as he watched her sing.

"Hmmm," He said to himself. "I gotta talk to this girl, warn her." As she was singing, he went over to the Halliwells, who were sitting next to Faith.

"Faithy-princess! How's my favorite little Slayer?" He asked, giving her a hug.


Faith

"Lorne!" Faith practically yelped as she jumped into Lorne's embrace. "What are you doing here? Nothings happened to Angel?"


Lorne

"Nah, Sweet Cheeks is fine, except for his pride of course. Sabre & Nyx gave him a tumble. But I'm here to tlka to that missy," Lorne pointed at the stage. "Her aura is just screaming. Somebody's about to expose her if we don't do something about it." Lorne spun Faith around. "But we can dance before her set is done.


Faith and Piper

Faith laughed and twirled around with Lorne. "By the way, you might wanna stop in at the Hanson house. There's been a lot of weird stuff going down there, so if you wanna read them, you should take that chance."

Piper interrupted. "Actually, if you want to stay for a few days, they'll be in here tomorrow night for Ash's engagement party, so you could read them then, I guess."


Lorne

"Oh, but this will be fun. Don't get to read many aliens in LA, mostly just demons and the like. Though there were several aliens in Vegas. You just gotta love it all, you know?" Lorne spun Faith again. "Faith, do you wanna sing for me again later?" Then he looked at Piper.

"Piper Halliwell, and sisters. I just want to say I was very sad when I heard about Pru. Patty was a good friend of mine, as was Penny, of course. Which leads me to ask, what's with all the Ps?"


Faith, Paige and Piper

Faith nodded, still dancing. "Yeah, I'll give it a go, I guess."

Paige shrugged. "I don't know, I came in late. I guess they just liked P's."

Piper smiled. "Thanks, Lorne."


Lorne

Lorne smiled. "All right, Ladies, let's boogie!"


Faith, Lorne, and Halliwells

About half an hour later, Shakira had finished her set and everyone was in the mood to go home and just hang out.

"Hey Lorne, you got a place to stay?" Faith asked.

"No sugar plum. Not yet. Might check into a hotel or something."

"Nonsense, come stay with us." Phoebe replied, gesturing around at her sisters.

"We should wait for Shakira. If we wanna orb out of here, we can go into the back room." Paige ushered everyone to the back while Piper stayed behind to clean up.


Lorne and Shakira

"Hello chicas. WHo's the green man?" Shakira asked, tired and sweaty from her show.

"Hey sugarcookie, I'm Lorne. I'm a good guy, don't worry."

"I won't. How many bad guys wear polyester?" Everybody chuckled at that.

"The thing is, I read auras when people sing. And, you, girlie, are screaming. Someone's gonna try to expose you as an alien. It's a guy, somebody you're close to." Shakira frowned. "Let's go back to the manor to talk about this. Should we orb, or take the limo?" Shakira asked.


Paige and Faith

"Orb." Piage told everyone to hold hands. She orbed them back in the middle of the lounge room at the Manor. Faith immediately jumped onto the couch.


Shakira and Lorne

Shakira had to think about it. "It has to be Lenny, my manager. I think he saw me moving the water once, and I suspect that he may be listening into my phone calls. He didn't like it that I wanted to stay in Tulsa for so long, or that I want to work on the movie with Leo. It has to be him."

Lorne thought for a bit. "That could very well be it. We gotta find this guy and deal with him."


Faith and Lorne

"Just point me in the direction. Always ready to kick a little bad guy ass." Faith put in, with more confidence than she felt.

Lorne sat down next to her and Faith lent against him. "I missed ya Lorney." Faith smiled up at him.


Lorne

Lorne wrapped his arms around Faith. "I'm just glad you didn't let Orpheus drag you down into Hell. It woulda been too sad. Woulda missed you."


Faith

"Well I partly have you to thank, don't I? You kept a nice vigil by my bed. Thanks for singing to me, by the way."

Faith grinned at Lorne.


Lorne and Shakira

"Always sweetums, always." Lorne grinned. "And how have you been, Kira baby?" Shakira grined.

"Bored bored bored, until I came here. Piper's been letting me squat at her club, singing my butt off. You hafta do some duets with me at my next concert, day after tomorrow, whatya say?"


Lorne and Faith

"I'd love to, honey bunkin! I have just the suit for it too."

Faith grinned. "Not camp?"

"Never camp, Faithy." Lorne replied happily. "What songs did you have in mind, Kira?"


Shakira

"I do not know, but we have time to think it through. In the meantime, I am sleepy. Night you two!" Shakira went up to bed, leaving Lorne to talk to Faith.


Halliwells, Faith and Lorne

Piper yawned and nudged the now asleep Paige. "Hey, I'm going to bed too. Night guys."

"Wha? Oh yeah. Night."

Paige and Piper left, and Phoebe, Lorne and Faith sat around for a few minutes.

"Hey, can you read me?" Phoebe asked.

"Sure thing. Then you wanna go, Faith?"

"Spose."
