{Scotland} A Night on the Town

Connor MacConn

June 28

*As the final hour passes and the beautiful glowing moon rises I leave Da and Mums room informing them I had plans to take Carys out. Getting the green light I txt Carys to meet me at the main hall. Smiling as she walks up to me I hold up the proper attire for tonights festival.* When in Scotland dress as the scots people do. I'll be waiting down stairs hope it fits your mum gave me your size. *Grinning I turn and head downstairs, looking over my shoulder I call out.* Don't keep me waiting to long lass.

  Carys Chase *With a shrug I take the clothes from Connor and head back upstairs to my room. The blue and black plaid tartan matches the color of my eyes and the white shirt fits perfectly. Picking out a pair of comfy heels to go with it, I brush my hair out once more and hurry downstairs to find Connor waiting for me.* How's this? *I do a little spin and curtsy*

  Connor MacConn *Turning as I hear the click of Carys heals on the stone steps I smile as she spins and curtsy.* You look beautiful as always lass, so you ready for tonight? I hope you enjoy yourself. *Holding the door to the garage open for Carys I then help her climb into last years christmas gift from mum and da a blue and black bugatti.* Hope you like to go fast. *I shut the door and climb in myself and we head off into town towards the Edinburgh castle where tonights shows are being held.*

  Carys Chase *I watch the scenery go by in blur as Connor drives us. Turning my head I look at him and smile* So, Edinburgh Castle huh? You know how to impress guests. *Laughing a little at his arched eyebrow when he looks at me.* And here I was sad for days when I got here. I figured I'd be stuck at the Darkhaven everyday till time to go home. I really appreciate this Conn, Thank you.

  Connor MacConn *Grinning I look over at Carys as city lights come into view.* Only the best when I'm around, Edinburgh castle is beautiful and the Edinburgh Military Tattoo is one of the best in the world. It just may take a moment to find a spot to park. *Laughing as we pull in a spot up front I have a smug grin on my face.* Lucky for you and those heels you came with me and won't have to worry about that tonight. *Laughing as she rolls her eyes I open her door to help her out.*

  Carys Chase *I jab him playfully in the gut once I am out of the car.* I'll have you know that I can wear heels for hours, even run in them, mister. * He offers me his arm and I take it happily as we walk. I look up at the massive Castle, in awe of it's beauty not realizing I have stopped dead in my tracks.* It's beautiful, Connor.

  Connor MacConn *Walking arm and arm with Carys I feel her stop all of a sudden I hear her comment. Looking up at the castle I smile and nod in agreement.* Yes it is, it has been updated some but still in its original form. Although many of the surrounding quarters were destroyed in the 16th century, they rebuilt of course. It's also home to the scottish military now. *Passing through the main entrance after handing off our tickets, we find our seating.* Oh and not to mention the best seating for the festival. *smiling we take our seat and wait for the show to start.*

  Carys Chase *Sitting next to him, I can't help but smile as we wait for the show to start. I watch people as they enter and take their seats, smiling and nodding at some. The mood of the place is happy excitement and up til a couple of days ago I didn't think I'd ever feel this was again. Soon the lights go down and the sound of bagpipes fills the area.*

  Connor MacConn *As bagpipes fill the air I smile feeling all the good energy and knowing this is exactly what Carys has needed, leaning over I speak closely so she can hear me.* As long as you're in my presence lass you will always feel happy and good. *I wink and turn my attention to the lower level as the military appears donning the finest uniforms and instruments, filling the air with local music.*

  Carys Chase *I have never seen anything so wonderful and beautiful. The music actually brings tears to my eyes. I brush them away quickly, not wanting to concern Connor. The crowd cheers and claps for the military and I can feel their sense of pride, see it in Connor's face as he watches.*

  Connor MacConn *Loving the show already, it's a shame the little lad next to me is paying more attention to whether or not I'm one of those "breed creatures". I turn to see him staring blankly at me as he's about to look away I flash him a fang, and turn back to watch the show. Watching as the military clear the the arena momentarily to allow the highland dancers to take the show.*

  Carys Chase *I am on the edge of my seat watching the dancers. Their outfits are bright and they look like they are having a blast. My smile widens as I take this all in.* Connor, this is..wow.. *He laughs at my loss for words and a giggle erupts me as I turn back to watch them, totally oblivious to the people around us.*

  Connor MacConn *Watching the excitement Carys is displaying I smile and inform her that later in the show some of the audience is allowed to dance with the dancers.* Are you up for it lass? we are in the selected seats to do so. *Seeing her eyes widen i laugh.* You'll do fine.

  Carys Chase Really? *I watch them closer and memorize everything they're doing, silently thanking mom and dad for my photographic memory. Every move they make is like art and my excitement builds. I want to dance and cannot wait to do so. Connor puts his hand on my arm and I look at him. He smiles and looks down at my feet and I laugh at being caught dancing in my seat.*

  Connor MacConn *Nodding my head in response I smile as we continue to watch the dancers as they end out their show and give the arena back to the military.* From the looks of it you are ready to dance. *Laughing as I look down at her dancing feet.* Well atleast your foot work is right, because it is almost time, once the lone piper comes out and closes the show it'll be time for us to join them.

  Carys Chase Grinning from ear to ear as I watch the lone piper, wishing he would hurry but still wanting to hear him play. The evening has been magical and being able to dance will be the cherry on top. When he stops playing I turn to Connor.* You're going up there with me right?

  Connor MacConn Of course lass you think I'd let you have all the fun? *Listening as the lone piper closes out we stand to head down to the dancers, and dance the rest of the night away. Seeing Carys smile and laugh as she dances with the highland dancers makes me smile and glad she's enjoying herself.*...*As the dancing slows we realize it has gotten late and is getting close to dawn.* Carys hate to end the party but I'd rather not end up a pile of crispy breed. Laughing as her eyes widen realizing what time it is, she grabs my hand and we hurry out. Getting to the car we head back home.* Did you enjoy yourself? From the looks of it you did, I'm really glad you came. It's a shame I can't be out during the day I'd love to be able to show you the daytime fun Scotland has to offer.

  Carys Chase Connor, that was amazing! *Still breathless from excitement and dancing, I laugh and sit back in my seat.* I can't believe I was actually depressed on the flight over here. Closing my eyes for a moment I sit up suddenly.* I have to call Aric and Jordana! OMg they wont believe I got to dance and, I'll tell them about the other stuff too. *We chat all the way home, laughing and talking about the Castle and the wonderful show. We get home just before dawn and we say our goodnights. Kicking my heels off I hurry upstairs to my room to check my phone, dancing with every step and the memory of bagpipes playing fills my head.*~
