Chapter One: Invitation
It has been a week since I last talked to Eric that night of the Fairy War. I still have not come to a complete understanding with him abut what happened. Everything has slowed down and I finally get a break from all the vampire shit. With all the injuries I had sustained during the battle, healed from Eric's blood, I went to Merlotte's to work today even though I still have a week off. That is because Arlene never showed up at work tonight to do her shift and Sam asked if I could just help out tonight.I still have a week off so I can recuperate after the battle and to go over what has happened between Eric and myself over these past few months.So that is how I ended up working at the bar tonight.
Merlotte's was busy tonight with it being Friday Night Football and all. Catfish was having a beer with my brother, Jason, and watching the game. Hoyt was with his new girlfriend, talking to Tanya & Calvin over a game of pool.The night was winding down and everyone was on their last beer of the night, when in walked Pam.
Pam looked around at who was there until she got sight of me and winked. She came & sat down in my section. I went over to her table to see what she was doing here.
" Hello Pam, and what can I do for you?"
" I'm just here to give you a message from Eric."
" And that is? "
" That Eric will be back from his visit with the King tomorrow, and asks if you could be his dance partner tomorrow night for a dance competition held at Fangtasia? "
" Sure I will be his dance partner tomorrow night, but I don't have anything to wear though. "
" I will get you something and send it tomorrow afternoon for you. "
" Sounds good, and what time do I have to be there?"
" I will come pick you up at around seven thirty to head to Fangtastia."
" OK, see you tomorrow Pam."
" See you later my telepathic friend," and with that Pam left for the night.
Merlotte's was closing by then and everyone has gone home by now. So I cleaned up the tables, said good night to Sam, and headed on home to get a good nights sleep after the day I had.
AN: I was going to have this up last week but I didn't really feel well.
If you have any ideas for the next chapter tell me them in your reviews
Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter Two: Package
I woke to someone knocking at my front door & I had to get it because Amelia was not here. She was at Tray's house cleaning up his old possessions to be given away to family & friends of theirs, that she did not want to keep. His funeral was 3 days ago 7 she was spending most of her time with his family.
When I went to get the door, after the post man left from drop off a package to her home.The package left on the doorstep had a pink ribbon on top. I picked up the package & went into the kitchen to get myself a cup of coffee. After sitting down with my coffee & a tuna sandwich. With everything that need to be done today finished. I opened the package to find one large red box, one medium white box, & one small black box.
Inside the red box, I find a beautiful, v-neck red cocktail dress that ruffles at the waist & reaches down all the way down to my feet. It was gorgeous & must have cost a lot of money. In the white box, find a pair of red high heels that will match the dress perfectly. The shoes had about a three-inch heel & ties around the ankle. In the black box, there was a pair of dangling ruby earrings. The earring cost probably more than the money I make in a week. Plus a tear-drop ruby necklace that match the earrings.
After examining what I got, I decide that it was time to take a shower. When I looked at the clock on the way to my room it said 4:30 pm. So that left me with about three hours to get ready. Out of the shower, I curled my hair just a little at the ends. I put my makeup on a little darker than I always do. I just had to add a little more eyeliner to give my eyes more effect.
When I was completely ready to go it was about 7:30pm, so i just waited for her in my living room. Pam showed up just on time in a pink dress that suited her more than her usually black dress.
"Hello Pam."
" Hi Sookie & my don't you look stunning."
" Thanks for the dress Pam, it most have cost a lot."
" That's not from me, Eric picked it out for you last night when he got back, & gave to me to be sent to you."
" That was very thoughtful of him."
" It was, are you ready to go?"
" Yes, just let me lock the door & we can go."
"Pam are you going to be dancing tonight because that is one beautiful dress?" I asked when I got into Pam' s car.
" No, I won't be dancing, I will be announcing for the evening."
We had arrived at Fangtasia & went threw the back entrance, so we didn't have to go threw all the people at the front door. Pam took me all the way to the front stage by the judges and left me at the table near there. Then she went on stage to announce the beginning of the competition.
" Welcome to Fangtasia's first annual dance competition. Tonight we will see many different dancing styles. You can only have one partner for this competition & there will be no biting or feeding on the premises. There is free refreshments to the dancers. I hope you all enjoy the show & have a great evening."
"Let this dance competition begin!" came Eric's voice as he appeared on stage.
