Dear Static:
So yesterday was...pretty darn amazing. Me and Circus walked to the dance together. I was a bit nervous, since I'm not too good with crowds. We went into the school gym and were blown away by how beautiful it was!
Wow! The Dance Committe really outdid themselves this year. - meI know! The colors and lights are so pretty! - CircusWe gazed around at the decorations and even tried some of the cupcakes, which were sooo tasty. Then I heard someone call my name.
Blizzard? Is that you? - ???I turned around and nearly tripped over my own paws. Blu was padding toward me, his centurion armor looking shiny like real metal.
Oh! H-Hey, Blu! - meIt's great to see you. I like your costume. - Blu
Oh, uh...thanks! Yours is pretty cool too. - me
Circus looked from me to Blu and back again. Then she straightened up and fixed her scarf.
Welp, I'm off to eat more sweets. See ya later, Blitzer! - CircusShe left. I felt my ears grow hot. She knew about my crush on Blu, and was certainly being obvous about it!
Blitzer? Is that a nickname? - BluI laughed nervously.
Heh, yeah. She called me that when I ran into class one day because I was late and...well, she never let it go. - meHe chuckled.
Sounds like a story worth telling. Maybe we could get some punch and talk about it? - BluI swear, right then and there, my brain imploded with happiness. I said yes in the calmest way possible (which, might I add, was no small feat, considering how I wanted to jump up and down like a giddy schoolgirl...er...schoolwolf?) and we made our way over to the punch bowl. I told Blu the story of how I got my nickname. He laughed several times during the tale.
I never took you to be the clumsy type. - BluYeah, well...I try to keep it on the down low. - meBlu shrugged.
I think you're cute either way. - BluI nearly choked on my drink. He called me cute. HE CALLED ME CUTE! Ha! See, Static? I'm smoother than I thought! Anyway, back on track.
Y-You think I'm cute!? - meWell, of course I do. I'd have to be blind not to. - BluI laughed and sat down, knowing that I would pass out at any moment.
No one's ever called me cute before... - meHe grinned and touched my ear with his muzzle.
They should do it more often, if you ask me. - BluMy pelt was on fire. I'm pretty sure I must've had flames coming out of my ears. Blu said he had to go do something and that he'd be right back. I nodded and stayed where I was.
Excuse me. Could you help me? - ???I jumped when I heard the voice right next to my ear. It made me leap up and spin around, then crash into a wall a foot away. Standing in front of me was a wolf with a skull mask and and really cool wings. His costume was really cool.

He looked at me with amusement in his eyes.
Sorry I scared you. - ???I let out a nervous cough.
You didn't scare me. You just...surprised me. Can I help you? - meYes. I'm looking for the bathroom. It's a bit hard to see with all these strobe lights, and I'm new here. Can you help? - ???I smiled politely.
Yeah, sure! Right this way. - meWe weaved through the crowd, me bumping into multiple wolves. (Darn clumsiness)
I'm Blizzard, by the way. What's your name? - meWhisper. - ???That's cool. So, you're new here? - meYeah. Moved in last week. - WhisperWe made it to the bathrooms and Whisper went right in. I turned around to walk away, only to bump into someone.
Blitzer! How'd it go? Did you and Blu work things out? What did you guys talk about? Don't just stand there. Answer me! - CircusWhoa, Circus, calm down! I can't answer you if you keep talking. - meShe shut her mouth with a snap and stared at me intensely. I sighed, knowing she wouldn't let up until I told her. I related everything that happened. A dreamy look probably came into my eyes, but who cares?
And then he said that people should call me cute more often. - meOh, wow! That is so cheesy! - CircusI punched her in the shoulder playfully.
He was sweet! - meShe shrugged.
Whatever. Hey, who's that? - CircusI turned around to where she was looking and saw Whisper standing a few feet away. He was talking to another wolf.
Huh? Oh, that's Whisper. He's new here. I helped him find the bathroom. - meHis costume looks amazing! - CircusI nodded. Then me and Circus went over to the cupcake table and ate some more sweets. Circus was telling me a joke when she suddenly broke off and stared at something behind me. There was fright in her eyes.
Circus? What's wrong? - meShe raised a paw and pointed behind me. I turned around, wondering what could make her so scared. Then I yelped. Standing directly behind me and staring at me were the three wolves I saw a couple of days ago. One of them, the black one with the orange markings, had a scythe.

His shorted companion had his cheshire grin.

And the third had his bat wings, folded neatly on his back.

I gulped. So I
hadn't been imagining things. The winged wolf stepped forward.
Blizzard, we need you to come with us. - ???
I shook my head. No way was I going with three strange wolves. Especially if one of them had a scythe! The black one growled.
Now. - ???The winged wolf shot a warning glance at his friend and turned to me with a friendly expression.
Look, I know this all must seem weird to you, but you have to trust us. We're not going to hurt you, we just need your help. - ???
I looked over at Circus. She was staring at the wolves with a cautious gaze. I'd never seen her so serious. She was right next to me. In fact, I think she was looking a bit protective.
Can my friend come? - meThe black one growled impatiently, but the winged wolf nodded.
Of course. - ???Circus stood without a word, as did I. We followed the wolves outside in the cold night air. We all sat down, and the winged would began to speak.
I guess we should all start off with introductions. I'm Jett.- ???The grinning one chuckled.
I'm Joker. - ???And I'm Carver. - ???That was the black one.
Nice to meet you. Now, mind telling me how you know who I am? And why you're following me? - meThey exchanged worried glances.
We haven't been following you. We haven't even seen you until you first saw us. - JettThen...who has been following me? - meThe black one grunted.
Depends. What do you see when you sense you're being followed? - CarverJust a shadow. And not a very descriptive one. More like a blob. Why? - meAgain, the three exchanged glances. I flattened my ears in frustration. What were they thinking. Beside me, Circus shifted.
I thought they were just some punks playing a prank... - CircusI shook my head.
Apparently not. - meGo home, Blizzard. We'll talk in the morning. - JettWait, what? Why can't we talk now? - meBecause they can hear us, runt. Why else? - CarverWho's they? I wanted to ask, but Jett and his pals were already walking off. I didn't make a move to go after them. Circus and I looked at each other and decided it was best to listen to their advice. After all, Carver didn't seem to think highly of "they". So we went home, and Circus decided to stay the night. We both wondered what tomorrow would hold.
And that's what happened. Now it's 1:00 AM now, and I'm bushed. I'll write in you later, Static. For now, goodbye.
