Dove's dress (change it to black)^^
~~
Dove POV~
We get up from the bed to get ready for the initiation. Sym suddenly bursts through the door with a gorgeous black and silver dress.
"Please wear this! It'll look so cute on you!" She asks excitedly and I look at it. It's kind of fancy, looks expensive. Not usually my kind of rodeo, but I'll try it. I go into the closet and slip it on, it fitting quite nicely. It shows off my curves and makes my legs look longer. It makes my skin look even more pale and creamy. I walk out and Sym squeals happily.
"I'm so happy you're joining us! Can't wait till I can just mind link you! So much easier." She hops with my hands in hers happily. She looks at me before running off again. I look at Mason who's watching us amusedly as he puts on his tie. He get's it on and I walk over. I tighten it for him a bit and he smiles at me.
"Thanks." He whispers and I nod. Sym comes bounding in and hands me a pair of heels. I look at them in horror. They have to be at least 3 inches, and I've never walked in heels before. They're pretty though. They're silver, glittery stilletos that match my dress. I carefully slip them on and take a few cautious steps. At this point I'm almost as tall as Mason, who's usually way taller than me. I stumble once, but catch myself.
"First time in heels?" Sym asks and I nod. She giggles before walking off. She comes back a few minutes later with Trinidee, who sits me down to do my make up. Sym comes back in a navy ballgown. Mason's in a suit and tie, and Trinidee is in a hot pink dress with a mermaid bottom. Her wedge heels are higher than mine and match her dress. I can't see Syms shoes, her dress is too long. They both look gorgeous. I close my eyes so Trinidee can do my eyeshadow, and when I open them Jaxon's also in the room. But he's not apart of the pack..?
"I invited him, I hope you don't mind." Sym says nervously and I shake my head. Trinidee sighs because when I did, she smeared lipstick onto my cheek. I shrug and give her an apologetic look. She cleans up my cheek and finishes my lipstick. I look in the mirror and almost don't recognize myself I look so good. I turn and hug Trinidee as a thank you. Jaxon just stares at me as Mason hugs me. I hug Jaxon who hesitates before hugging me back. Then I hug Sym. Hugs for everyone! I see it's 6:50 and decide, okay. Time to go. I show Sym the time and we all head out. We walk over to a building I haven't seen before. We go inside and it's decorated beautifully. It's very old timey. The walls are cream colored with white draping curtains around the windows. The stage has white bows on it. I smile at the sight. I walk over to one of the tables being set up. I want to help, so I take off the monsters on my feet. I walk over to Sam.

'Anyway I can help?' I write and he nods.
"Uh, yeah. Can you help us by putting the roses on all the tables?" He asks and I nod. I turn until I spot some white roses. I grab two, and everyone else follows suit. There's a ton of tables around the walls, then a huge free space. The wood flooring is Birch and I almost want to touch it. I love Birch wood. I put the vases on some tables before getting some more. I don't know how Sym and Trinidee are doing this so efficiently in heels. Well, I'm assuming Sym's wearing them, she's as tall as Mason now. They're walking as quick as me though. I smile at them and we all get the roses done quite quickly. There's about three minutes and people have started filing in. Sym goes and gets behind the DJ table and plugs in her phone. Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots starts playing. I feel like this song represents me well. We all start dancing to the beat and I smile as Rose and Jaxon purposefully dance like idiots. I laugh mentally. Jaxon walks over to me after.
"Wish we could turn back time, back to the good ol days. When Momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out." He sings along with the song and offers me his hand. I take it and he twirls me. He grabs both of my hands and dances with me, in a friendly fashion. I smile at him and he smiles back. Our fun is interrupted by the Alpha coming up. Jaxon drops my hands hesitantly and nods to the Alpha before walking over to Sym.
"Hey, show time." The Alpha whispers and knots tie up in my stomach. What if they don't like me. He offers me his arm and I take it. He leads me up to the stage and takes a microphone. The music stops and everyone stares at me. The alpha gently takes my hand from his arm. I freeze, watching everyone watch me. He softly drops my hand as he introduces me. I spot Sym and Mason from the front, their eyes sparkling as they watch me. I stand up with my head held high as I smile at them.
"..Please welcome her to the Glenmoon Pack!" The Alpha finishes and people start cheering and whistling. I smile broadly and wave as the Alpha places his hand on my shoulder. He stares at me blankly for a second.

"Can you hear me?" His voice resounds to my head and I feel elated.
"Yeah, can you hear me?" I ask and he smiles widely before nodding.
"Welcome to the family, Dove." He finishes before suddenly my head is filled with Sym's voice.
"Talk to me! I wanna hear what you sound like!" She exclaims happily.
"Hi Sym." I giggle and her face from the crowd is priceless. Her eyes are wide and her mouth is agape. She turns to Jaxon, hits him. And says something to him. The Alpha leads me off the stage and I join my friends.
"Well I know I was right!" Jaxon laughs at Sym.
"About what?" I ask her.
"About you sounding like an angel!" She shouts excitedly. Jaxons face turns pink as I raise an eyebrow at him. An angel, eh? I smile.
"You agree Mase?" I ask him and he looks suprised for a second.
"Well, maybe not an angel, but honeylike." He says and I laugh mentally.
"Jesus, your laugh is contagious." Rose giggles and I look at them with wide eyes. Oh right, they're in my head unless I close that wall.
"So guys, I have a football game in about an hour.. Wanna come with?" Jaxon asks and we all nod.
"Get me out of these death traps." I tell Sym and she laughs. I slip my feet out of the heels, relief washing over them. I carry them in one hand as we walk to the house to change. I get into my room and quickly change into a Five Finger Death Punch shirt and some shorts. I feel much more comfortable like this. I slip on some vans and walk out.
"Man, that makeup goes with everything. I did good." Trinidee notices and I laugh mentally. I miss laughing in real life, this year is going to go by so slowly. Ugh. We get into the cars and me and Sym start working on posters in the backseat. Jaxon drives a blue convertible ferrari, so the wind blows in our hair and into our face as we're writing. We finally finish the posters and get to the game. We all sit at the bleachers as Jaxon goes and gets ready.
"First game Dove?" Rose asks and I nod excitedly. Imma watch Jaxon get all manly on the field. I see a lone football player walk out on the field. Sym points to him as he waves at us. He takes off his helmet and I see Jaxon smiling like an idiot. I wave back happily. He puts his helmet back on and jogs over to warm up with his team mates. Though I'm silent, I cheered along as much as possible with Trinidee. Calum had shown up and Sym walked off with him to 'get pizza' thirty minutes ago. They come back as another touchdown is scored. Their hair is wild and they both have hickeys. Jesus. Sym is smiling widely as Calum looks kind of dazed. He sits down with Sym and pulls her onto his lap, hugging her. Sym giggles. The game ends, we lost. I'm a little disappointed, but Jaxon waved every time he scored, so not very upset. He meets us after the game, all hot and sweaty. Words are thrown around and somehow Trinidee ends up with a neckful of sweaty forhead.
Tonight was a good night.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.
