Gunner looked at her and laughed as she declared herself very drunk. He nodded, "So am I."

He watched as she moved her sat next to her and smiled. He wished he'd brought a coat, of course he hadn't actually expected a dress from Anna. Maybe if he had... He have been smart and worn a coat. He laughed again when she said that the dress did cover up much. He placed his hand on top on the one she had placed on her stomach, "That's part of the reason you look so hot..."

He kept his eyes on her as she looked up at him. Then her hand up on the side of his face and she was moving closer. His heart pounded in his chest as he looked at her just millimetres from him. He couldn't help thinking that he could lean just a little bit forward and they would be kissing. Or how he could place his hand on the back of her neck and they would be kissing. He didn't do either though, he wanted her to kiss him but he didn't get that she pulled away, stating she didn't feel well. He guessed that was a good enough excuse, he didn't really feel being vomited on. Then she stood and left, leaving him alone by the tree.

Serena watched as he seemed to get all flustered about what he had said, trying to correct himself. She laughed slightly and nodded, "Well.... If you ever get the chance... Venice is not as hot in... October, November and it rains more then too. So less sun, but still warm."

The song came to a close and Sebastian kissed the hand she was already holding. Playing along, she gave the boy a small curtsy. She allowed him to lead her away from the crowd and looked around as he mentioned Anna and Gunner. She hadn't seen them while they were dancing but then again she could just see over Sebastian's shoulder in her heels. She nodded when he decided that it was necessary to find them soon. Quickly, she caught sight of Gunner standing up behind the table and started to walk in the direction of the ward. She looked at Sebastian and pulled him by his hand over to him. She did a quick look and found no Anna, "Gunner," She said, drawing the blonde's attention, "Where is An-na?"

Gunner seemed to have to think about it, "She went this way," He pointed in the direction he had been heading. Serena nodded and released Sebastian's hand, taking Gunner's arm, "Okay. Why don't you stay here with Sebastian and I will go find her."

She brought him over to Sebastian and away from where Anna had been going. She took of her shoes and tossed them by a tree. She looked at Sebastian, "I'll be right back."

She ran off into the forest looking for Anna. She spotted the girl walking toward the ward. She quickly grabbed her and spun them around, so that she stood closer to the ward and stood Anna from moving forward. She glanced around, the hair on the back of her neck was standing up. She felt like they were being watched. She smiled at Anna, "Go back to everyone. Sebastian and Gunner are waiting for you. We'll take you back to your dorm, okay? I'll be right there."

Then she sent the girl on her way. She searched the immediate area around her. She was expecting a boy hiding somewhere, hoping to prey on the too drunk Anna. Thus, she wasn't really thinking when she walked toward the ward without a silver stake.

Rae was making his way to the drinks table when Anna ran to him. He rolled his eyes, he hadn't expected her to go off the deep end. Normally, the Novices refused to drink too much. When she ran off, he walked over to Gabby and smiled, "Everyone here is boring. The girls are too drunk that I fear they are going to vomit on me if I dare bring them back to my room... Not to mention, I haven't been able to get you off my mind all summer. Why don't we head back to my room? Keep up tradition and all that."
