Okay, I wasn't satisfied with the last pose, so I redrew and rebuilt it. I'm still trying to figure out the hair, and the black ruffles on the dress upper need to be worked on. I got rid of her high heels and had her wearing her 'Hi Hi Doggie' bobbie socks...

She's dancing and showing off the dress to her close friends, I think...

(Update 6/11/11: Refined her all over, added stuffed animals to corner.)
______________

This is what I envision happening...

"Well, how do I look?!"

Lace stepped lightly to the middle of the room in her bobbie socks, deftly stepping over her favorite stuffed bear with supernatural grace. She then spread her arms and happily twirled in place like a ballerina. The black and taffeta pink ruffled dress, along with her flowing pink hair, swirled around her like a graceful, living thing.

"Well?!!" She gushed as she stopped and looked at Seth, and his sister Sarah.

Sarah brushed her chestnut hair from her eyes and gave Lace a thumbs up and a smile.

The moderately built young man with the short, spiky blonde hair and glasses just sat mutely on the couch.

Sarah waved her hand a few times in front of his face. She looked up at Lace with a grin. "Just a hunch, girl, but I think you broke him…"

"Beautiful…!" He whispered, just loud enough for Lace's enhanced hearing to pick up.

"W-What?!" Lace whispered, her pale face glowing red.

Seth got up and walked over to Lace. He reached out and gently enfolded the pink-haired vampire's hands in his.

"Y-You're BEAUTIFUL. Stunning, even!"

"Ladykiller…" Sarah gibed out of the corner of her mouth.

"Shaddup!" He retorted.

He looked back at the delicate vampiress, who was now standing there looking at the floor with her face beet red. Her jaw was working, but no sound emerged.

Good GOD, can she get any cuter?! he thought, as his heart throbbed. He swallowed nervously. He wanted to hug her…badly. But he didn't want to scare Lace. All things considered, with what her sire did to her decades ago, It was a miracle she hadn't sworn off men completely. Seth was actually surprised she let him hold her hands now. A vampire with PTSD was not a person to take chances with…OR to take lightly.

He noticed her hands shaking slightly, but she didn't pull away.
Seth had found out that he apparently looked a great deal like Lace's sire, but with a radically different personality.

That unfortunately, explained her jumpiness around him.

He cleared his throat.
"You...You okay, Lace?!" He whispered quietly.

She took a deep breath, and nodded. "Umm…yeah…T-Thanks, Seth…very much…" She looked up.

He stared into almost glowing pink eyes with tears in the corners. Her pink hair cascaded around her face, a few tendrils falling over her face.

Seth released her right hand, reached up, and gently brushed a few of the errant strands back over Lace's pointed right ear. He saw her flinch slightly but didn't move otherwise. His gut said that she probably felt the same…but… but…

If I scared her, he thought, she could break me in half without even breathing hard. She's such a sweet girl…I just…just WISH I could help her.

Every time he got this close to her, he wanted to kiss her pink little bow lips and hug her tight…

But he could never work up the nerve.

If he were in an anime, he'd be getting a roaring nosebleed…just due to the CUTE factor ALONE.

He was standing there, locked in place and staring into those beautiful eyes, when he was jolted back to reality when he felt a hand on his shoulder, followed by a loud, exasperated sigh.

"Damn it, Seth! Either let her go, or go get a ROOM, already!" Sarah growled.
