Darren Criss|Dare, Starkid|18|Straight|Insane Musical Nerd|Crush; Natalie
Darren smiled at Puck and Justiss and noticed the things the had in common, the dancing. "Well, if it makes you guys feel any better, I can't dance." He said, making a joke about his own flaws. He looked over to Natalie where his smile faltered. She looked jealous of Justiss and Puck, but his cover was held and he still looked happy. Darren looked down to see the dog, Rampage, sniffing his guitar and stroked the top of his head. He was reminded of his dog, Balto back home, then all the horses came flooding into his mind then one horse in particular, Shadowfax. Yes Shadowfax was named after the horse in Lord Of The Rings, but this time it wasn't Darren who named him, it was his mother's choice. Shadowfax was his mom's old horse, and he was old. Recently though he had caught colic, and Darren had completely forgotten about him. He paniced and sat up, his smile had already dissappeared from his face. "Uhh.. I'll be right back." He said as he ran out of the door quickly dialling Molly's number. Outside the music room, he waited for Molly to pick up. The fourth ring she did, "Hey Darren.." She said in a sad mood. "I guess you calling about Shadowfax." Darren replied, already knowing the answer, "Yeah, how is he?" Molly sighed. "Yeah I thought you'd call. H-he didn't make it through." Darren looked to the floor then back up and leaned against the wall. "O-oh, how's dad dealing with it?" He said finally. "He has come out of his study yet, but Neal says he can hear the occasional sob from inside. I-i'm sorry but I've got to go and catch Epona, she's missing you." Darren smiled faintly, "Give her a hug and a carrot for me."
"I will, See you soon. Bye." She said and Darren heared Epona nicker in the background. He hung up after her and stood outside for a moment, before walking in and saying, "Sorry guys, I had an important call." He said as he sat back next to the piano and Natalie.
