Starstruck II: Saruman's Curse

On the Banks of the Red Cedar Pt 2 (College AU)

Andy walked out of his and Kevin's dorm and saw Kara across the hall. He straightened the lapel on his satin smoking robe and approached.

"Hey girl, you look like you like to dance."

Kara turned around. "Yea? I like a lot of things. So?"

Andy's lips gave a slight twitch and his eyes sparkled. "So come down to this room and dance with me. Right now."

Kara's eyes glazed over and she followed Andy.

"Get me a drink first."

Kara reached out and snagged a cup out of the hand of the first person she passed and handed it to Andy. He smiled at her and led her into Steve's empty room. Matt peeked in to see Kara in Andy's arms circling the floor to "Hot in Herre" and laughing. Andy took notice of him in the doorway and said, "You are joining us." Matt's eyes turned to glass and he walked in with them.

Gace noticed the gorgeous blond all the way down the hall. Her eyes were crystal blue and piercing and she carried herself with a "who gives a shit" attitude, which only made her hotter. Gace took a gulp of liquid courage and started his trek down the long hall in her direction. She looked like she was there with a mission, but she wasn't making any moves toward it, just standing there observing. Whatever, thought Gace, What the Hell? He approached her and when she turned her attention toward him her pupils were so blown out that her eyes looked all black.

Whoa, this chick is obliterated. Easy squeezy...

"Heey, my name is Gace."

"Ruby"

"Aa, you wanna..."

"No. But I will go for a walk with you." She turned and started toward the stairwell exit. Gace followed.

"Were you looking for someone in there? You seemed to be searching the crowd."

"Well, I was, but he's occupied and it can wait." Ruby observed Gace, taking her time looking him up and down. You look like a good boy from Niceville who needs a trip to the inner city of Hellsburg. Lucky for you, I'm your ride." She reached into the inner pocket of her leather coat and pulled out a flask. "Here, take a pull."

Gace took a sip off the rim and instantly blew back. He was in the middle of the desert under the unforgiving sun. Across from him was Ruby, holding his hands and spinning with him in a circle. Her blond hair swung out in an arc, disappearing in the sharp rays of the sun. Gace closed his eyes, Picturing himself in a boat on a river

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

Somebody called him, he answered quite slowly:

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Gace opened his eyes: Ruby was running in front of him, pulling him along until they were teetering on the edge of a bridge over the Red Cedar River. She turned and smiled up at him with a swing of her thick, black wavy hair and dark brown eyes boring into him.

"Come on, I'll catch you." She jumped into the water and before he could think how ridiculous that was, or why she looked entirely different, Gace jumped into her arms.

The music was so loud that no one heard the thump of wings when Castiel landed on the fifth floor fire escape. He came in through the stairwell and observed the debauchery in front of him. Sam was inching himself closer to the girl with the streaked hair and it was apparent that they would soon mesh into one unit. There was no sign of Dean. Cas walked the hall looking into rooms with doors both opened and closed, as he had the power of that vision. Many of the activities made him shake his head in shame and disappointment. Some rooms made him blush. Steve's room looked like the bedroom of an ancient Bedouin King: Sexy and inviting, but as of now empty. Kevin's room, the loudest, made him narrow his eyes into slits. That Harry Potter was a terrible influence on Kevin's spirituality, but he sure did sport some charisma and Cas could see why Kevin was smitten with him. Cas stood in the doorway watching intently as Harry, a tie wrapped around his head like a headband, stood pouring over bubbling and smoking beakers, and Kevin danced wildly with the people in the room.
