Dark stood at the edge of the town staring out at the night sky, enthralled by the beauty of the stars. Spotting a shooting one, he swiftly closed his eyes and murmured a wish.
Sighing, he opened his eyes. The wish was an impossible one, and he highly doubted it would every come true, but every one of his heartstrings sang for it to be true, wishing for it, hoping for it.
His antenna drooped slightly and his fragile wings rustled as the wind scraped past them.
Light was somewhere around here, probably with San, he thought to himself. He would have given anything to be that close to someone again...
((Sorry about the title, couldn't think of anything and it popped into my head XD
Also, I gotta go now, see you in the morning, night!))

And there she was, just wandering the streets in the darkness. Alice honestly had no idea why she came to the towns during this particular visit. Usually she kept to the idea of forests, beaches or secluded village type places. She did take it upon herself to visit larger cities and towns on occasion, but still, she had no reason at all for coming here tonight. Well, aside from the fact that she felt that should actually come to this place. She always listened to the feelings that nagged at her, going where they pulled her, but half of the city was closed up at night and no matter where she went she couldn't settle.
She sighed, starting to give in on finding whatever she was looking for, not knowing what it was just made the task that much more difficult. She finally stopped walking, tired of her feet just pulling her along. She didn't even take time to notice the man only some odd yards away from her staring at the sky. She just slumped to the ground with a huff.
She pretty much ignored the fact of the wind messing up her darker blond toned hair. It was pulled back with her bow/headband; that was enough to keep it pretty tame. She shivered a little, a reaction that the stupid feeling caused her. "This is just stupid!" she barked in a hushed voice to herself.
((Ah, its alright. I thought it was kinda funny. Good night, talk to ya later.))

Dark glanced over that Alice. Notice she didn't look to happy, he wandered over.
"Excuse me ma'am. Is everything alright?" he asked in a quiet, calm voice. The police badge reflected the light of the moon and glinted brightly.
((sorry for the shirt post ><))

Alice's magenta hued eyes lifted up when the man addressed her, examining his face. She noted the badge shining in the moonlight. Even if she hadn't had many run ins with the police, there was one very hectic time that many were around her. She had mixed feelings about police officers these days. Some helped her while others made the decision to doom her life at one point. She'd still be doomed if she hadn't gotten away, however that was...
"Yes, I'm fine." She replied with an indifferent expression, hiding whatever that the single police badge he wore brought back, and a somewhat polite tone of voice. She wasn't quite sure why he'd asked her that; probably just something to do with his job responsibilities, a normal reaction. "I just decided that walking the streets would get me no where."

"...True, unless it was to the shops." he grinned and winked at her. "Ah, I'm sorry. Bad joke I know." he shook his head and sighed.
The walkie talkie on his chest buzzed. "Dar, where are you?" came a voice. "Dar, if you don't get your butt over here now your not going to have one in the morning!"
Dark's eyes widened. "Sheesh!"

Alice grinned slightly at his attempt, if you could call it that, oddly enough. It wasn't so much as what he said being funny, just the fact that he seemed to try to be funny; That was the funny part, to her at least.
Still sitting perfectly content on the cold sidewalk, she stared up at him as the other voice went off at him from the contraption attached to his outfit, her expression was sort of unreadable. But, at the same time, it was also...odd. She didn't say a thing, but was thinking, more like wondering, what kinds of shifts police ran on. It was a sort of attempt to get her mind off of her internal nagging, but it failed to do much.

Dark took off the walkie talkie and sighed before replying. "Lo, I honestly can't be bothered tonight. I'm taking of early."
"...WHAT?!" the other voice yelled.
Dark flinched and looked at Alice apologetically and replied "I'm taking off early. That's not a crime is it?"
"But...Fine. I'll see you tomorrow Dark."
"Sorry about that. Just my partner in crime." another lame attempt to cheer himself up and make someone else laugh. He just wasn't up to much was he?

Alice rose a delicate eyebrow as the two officers exchanged their words. What reason did the one standing before her have to take tonight's work off? She didn't seem to show any response to the yelling coming from the other end. And then came another bit of wondering, why did he look like he was apologizing to her for it? Its not like she was really involved with him, really, in anyway aside from him walking up to her.
"Its fine." she waved her hand slightly, as if brushing it off. "He doesn't seem too pleased about your decision to take off." She paused. "I know its none of my business but might I ask why? Isn't the police force alway supposed to be on call?" No it wasn't her business, but she had nothing else to do at the moment except talk to this man.

"You think we're like that all the time? Na, only half of us do that." He leaned back against a tree, stretching. "And anyway, I need a break. Too much going on at one time y'know?" He sighed. "Sometimes I wish I wasn't a cop. You know when you're young, you get to do all these things that you can't do when you have a job, and it just feels unfair...I'd give anything to be given enough time off to just go surfing again..." he sighed wistfully.

"Oh, really? So only half are on work constantly..." And that thought she couldn't help but to wonder how long it took for any one to notice such a thing a house fire in the middle of the night. Even if firefighters were the most responsible for those type things, the police were always found present too. "I guess I understand what you're saying. Only, you can consider yourself lucky when you have a job. Without it, you run out of things to do..."

"I know what would happen if we didn't have our jobs." Dark smiled wryly. "Me and Lo would be out surfing constantly, doing absolutely nothing else except eating, sleeping and surfing. That would be it for us." he shook his head. "What about you little lady?"

"It seems that you two would be rather uncaring and relaxed." She made an assumption. "I don't really mean it in a bad way, just that you'd be pretty care free. As for myself, well, I'd be doing the exact same thing I am now. I don't actually have a specific employment. My days are all pretty the same, coming and going, doing as I please. It gets boring after awhile..." At he point, Alice stood up and took a moment to dust off her dress before looking back at Dark with her magenta eyes.

Dark met her eyes with his blue ones. "What brings out out here? Who know what malevolent sorts there are out here, waiting to pounce on someone unsuspectingly..."
At that point someone tackled him from them the back and they both crashed to the ground. Whoever it was, he was the duplicate of Dark.

Alice grinned mildly, but you could tell something was hiding behind it; like a sort of confidence or something along those lines. "Despite my small size, I can take pretty good care of myself." True, she was a very small woman, only standing about five two, though her shoes added a few inches.
Just before the moment that Dark was tackled to the ground, Alice inconspicuously moved a step back and to the side. She sort of seen the other coming when he got close enough, and her only reaction was to hop out of the way. At first a guarded expression was on her face, like she'd very well pounce and attack the one who took it upon themselves to tackle the other man to the floor. However, she'd noticed the likeness between them and recoiled, still cautious.

"Gotcha!" The other yelled, grinning maniacally.
Dark growled. "Lo get the heck off me now!!" he pushed the looked-alike off the top of him and stood up, brushing his uniform clean of dirt and a few leaves that had gotten into his hair.
"Aww, come on Dar, it was only a joke!" the other moaned. He stood up, not minding how he looked.
