"Still don't trust 'im," Lovett muttered, but cautiously crept closer to Sweeney, tripping over someone. But she soon made it to her destination. "Mr. Todd?" she hissed, hoping SN hadn't been trying to trick her. "Do you think Lloyd's gonna be mad that we're not showing up to rehearsal?" Freddy asked Garry. Garry shrugged. "Who cares?"

Sweeney smiled at her, and this time, he wasn't faking. He reached towards her, not a razor in sight. "Come here, my pet," he said, still smiling. It was rather creepy. To those who knew him, at least. Yes, he is OOC. Is he not under a spell though? Ichabod had been the one to be tripped over, and bolted upright. He'd always been rather jumpy, but he'd gotten worse after the horseman incident. His heart was racing as though he'd been running. Which he had been in his dream.

Lovett froze, and backed away a little bit. Sweeney would never say that. Those words just sounded a little creepy coming from Sweeney's mouth. "Are you okay, Mr. Todd?" she asked, a little worried. "Do you two not have the decency to even tell me you're not going to show!?" an angry voice demanded. "Uh-oh..." Garry gasped. They had been found by a very angry director. "It would be nice to know if you're not going to show so I can rehearse the parts that don't have you two in it!" Lloyd's yelling was very loud at the moment. He was upset.

Brianna had now awoken to the sound of the angry director, and her lip was out in a pout, looking like she was about to cry. She didn't like it when people yelled. It scared her.Ichabod seemed to want to try to make her feel better, but he didn't seem to quite know how. He hadn't had a very good childhood himself, so he didn't know what made kids happy. "Perfectly fine, love. Come here!" the second part was an order, but Sweeney didn't sound quite so fierce as he usually did.

Lovett hesitated a little, then slowly inched towards Sweeney. She still didn't trust him. Why would you trust a murderer who had his weapon of choice with him? But still, this WAS Sweeney... Lloyd almost immediately quieted when he realized that quite a few people were asleep. It was almost as if they had chosen that spot just so he couldn't yell at them. He scowled a little, but then grumbled, "Fine, stay here. But be at rehearsals in the morning. Eight o'clock, and not a minute later." With that, he stormed out of the room and left.

Once she was within reach, he pulled her over to him so that he could wrap his arms around her. He had no idea that SN had done something with the wand she'd borrowed from Luna Lovegood. But he suddenly found that he returned Lovett's affections. And that was odd, even in itself, that he had any affection for Lovett after the whole lie about his wife. But that suddenly seemed insignifigant. Brianna had looked like she'd needed a hug, so Ichabod gave her one, and before long, she'd fallen back asleep. He laid her back down where she had been sleeping, then sat to the side, lost in his own thoughts.

Lovett kept expecting him to pull his razor out and slit her throat while holding her. It was like he was trying to keep her from escaping. That was the only thing she could think of that explained his odd behavior. He had been trying- and succeeded- in luring her over to him so he could kill her. She tilted her head back a little so he could just slit her throat. If he was going to do it anyways, there was no point in trying to prevent it. She didn't realize that he wasn't trying to trick her or anything.

So Sweeney does the very last thing she would suspect. He kissed her lightly on the cheek. SN's spell had worked better than she had hoped it would. And that was a very good thing for Lovett. He had no thoughts of killing her, though he might once the spell wore off. But for now, he was completely atracted to her. Ah, every shipper's dream! Shipper as in, fanshipping of course! It's better than letting those weird people drag Sweeney into a slash pairing.

Lovett froze at that, completely shocked. He'd never do that. Not willingly. "Wot's wrong with you, love?" she managed to gasp. Sweeney had never returned her affection before, and now he was. After he found out she was lying to him. "You're not goin' t'kill me, are you?" she wanted to know.

"Of course not, love, what makes you think that?" the force of the spell SN had put on him had made him forget completely about the lie Lovett had told him. He looked perfectly at ease where he was. He'd never let Lovett get quite this close, but he was now. SN, stirred from sleep for a moment, smiled over her shoulder before letting her head drop back onto her pillow and falling back into deep sleep. The wand was tucked safely away under it. She didn't want anyone playing with it.

Lovett stared at Sweeney. Was he sick or something? He couldn't have just forgotten! "You're sorta mad at me for lyin' 'bout your wife, Mr. Todd, 'coz you assumed she was dead when I said she poisoned 'erself." She tried to pull away from him. He was beginning to creep her out. And there was almost nothing that could creep Lovett out.

((Okay, boredom. Fire-deathscene-time!)) Fira had rolled over, so now she was slightly under SN's bed. See, there's a reason Fira doesn't stay at people's houses very much. When she had stressfull dreams, it could trigger her fire powers. And she was having a stressful dream. She was dreaming about the day she died, or nightmaring, more like it. But she muttered 'fire' under her breath, and at her comand, fire flared up near her, small at first, but growing larger by the moment because of all the paper and junk under the bed.

Lovett's head whipped around, towards the fire. "Wot's that?" she asked, a little panicked. If there was one death she did not want, it was death by fire. Mainly because she could've sworn she died in a fire before. But she wasn't quite sure. Freddy and Garry were arguing again, over something stupid that nobody would care about. In other words, Garry was pissed because Lloyd cast Freddy as Erik and he had to be Raoul in Lloyd's latest production, the Phantom of the Opera. So they were arguing, not even noticing the flames.

Ichabod noticed, though, and-being the nice person he is-pulled SN out of harms way before trying to get her to wake up. Brianna blinked awake not long after, because she was a light sleeper. Her eyes were huge as she stared at the flames. Sweeney's eyes darkened at the sight of the flames. He reached down automatically and woke Johanna. The blonde girl stared at the fire, staying near her father. He'd stood, ready to get out of there. Everyone could burn for all he cared. Since the flames quickly devoured the wand, the spell was off. "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!" Fira said shrilly, backing away from her own flames. While she'd been trying to wake up, they'd taken on a life of their own. Her heart was pounding viciously.

"I don't want to be a stupid lovesick BOY!" Garry spat. "Do you think I asked to be whoever Lloyd cast me as?" Freddy snapped back. He usually only was angry like this when he was exhausted and annoyed. "I'm not sure if I can even stay in tune!" "Hmph. At least he didn't make Dotty be that girl. You can't have her!" Garry snarled, glaring at the other actor. Freddy glared back. "I don't want Dotty! You can have her!" He yawned a little, though, too tired to keep adding to the rather loud conversation that could be called a fight. But for Garry and Freddy, this was normal. Well, Garry yelling at Freddy was normal, anyways. Freddy upset like this wasn't normal, but he was just tired. Lovett squirmed out of Sweeney's grasp, still staring at the flames. Why did they scare her so? She made a face as she went through her memory. What she found explained why: she remembered being thrown into her oven and burning alive. She shuddered at the memory, then latched on to Sweeney, not realizing that the wand's burning had nullified the spell on him so he probably wouldn't be acting all freaky and nice.
