a silly little dream that I had which made me laugh. Feedback is as welcome as always!!

Louis de Pointe du Lac sighed with relief as the last of the light was shut out of the room. He sank down
into the leather chair and rested his face in his hands. Immeadiately Lestat rushed over and bent down
beside him, his arms around the blond vampire's shoulder He moved Louis' 'cherished' guitar from the side
of the chair so that he could get closer to him.
"Louis" He asked, his voice full of concern, "Are you alright?" Louis didn't reply, just looked up into
Lestat's soulful grey/blue eyes and nodded. He shrugged Lestat's arm from his shoulder and started pacing
the length of the hotel room
"How much longer are you going to carry on with this charade?"
"ME??" Lestat exclaimed, jumping to his feet, his face filling with mock shock. "You are as much a part of
this as I am!"
"Not by choice Lestat, not by choice" Louis stopped his pacing and stared at the blond. "You as much as
forced my into it! And having to cut and dye my hair, day and night is getting to me, as is the hunger and
tiredness. I think sometimes you forget that I do not have the blood of The Ancient Ones in my veins. It's
a lot easier for you to forego the deathsleep than it is for me. It's bloody killing me, Lestat"
Lestat pouted. "I thought it would be fun. Thought you might enjoy it. And besides, I think you look
simply marvellous as a blond"
"Fun??!!" Louis exclaimed incredulously.
"Oui" replied Lestat. "I wanted us to do something, together."
"Thats fine by me, but why this? I thought your fascination with being a rock star was long over. And
beside, I much prefer my hair darker"
"Ma chere. You wound me with your harsh words."
Louis rolled his eyes at Lestat "Lestat.... "He started with an exasperated tone to his voice
"Louis, I am The Vampire Lestat" he declared proudly with toss of his head, forgetting how short his
dyed-black hair was. "I am anything I want to be"
"And at this moment in time, you are being a complete brat."
Louis was fast starting to lose his temper at the naturally blond-haired vampire. Although it was Lestat
who was the famed of the two for possesing a vicious temper, Louis when aggravated, could easily match
his maker.
Lestat crossed his arms over his chest, a gesture typical of that of his mortal popstar alter-ego, and said
defiantly. " But of course my Beautiful One. I am, am I not, the Brat Prince??"
"So that's what this is all about. The entire reason you are parading yourself as a rock star once again is to
feed your ego!"
"Perhaps, ma chere, my ego hungered from a little attention!"
" 'Little attention '" Louis laughed " You call hundreds of adolescent girls, and plenty boys too, lusting after
you a 'little attention'?"
"Do I sense a touch of jealousy Louis?" Lestat cocked his head to the side, staring at his eternal
companion. "It is not as though you do not have your own loyal fan base. There are plenty of fan sites on
the internet proclaiming their love for Dan..." Lestat broke off in a fit of giggles as he saw the faint tinge of
a blush climbing up Louis' white cheeks.
"Yes well. It's not like I asked for it. Unlike some I don't crave the pledges of undying love from mortals. I
do believe you are the one displaying a touch of jealousy"
"No, of course not." Lestat tried his best to lie, although he never did find it very easy to lie around Louis.
Hell, it as much as he could do to even think with Louis as close as he was.
"Whatever you say Lestat!" Louis shook his head, a faint smile laying on his lips."Can I help it if all the little
girls prefer my chiselled good looks and blond hair to you?"
"I thought you said you didn't like being blond" Lestat shot back. Louis simply smiled and lay back on the
room's bed.
"I think we'd better 'get back into character" Lestat said, throwing the velvet drapes wide open. "
Someone's coming, and we don't want any more rumours about us being vampire's do we?"
Louis smiled faintly, as he shielded his eyes, reaching into his shirt pocket for his shades.
"Are you sure you're going to be OK Louis. Can you manage the show without feeding first?"
"Yeah, I guess so" Louis replied hestitantly.
There was a knock at the door. "Darren, Daniel. Are you two in there?"
"No we're not" Lestat retored in a perfect Australian accent. "Go away and leave us alone." Louis couldn't
help but laugh as he scanned AnnaMaria's mind. The thoughts she had about strangling Lestat, or should
that be Darren Hayes, struck him as being hilarious. Lestat struck Louis a look that quite clearly said
'What are you laughing at'. Lestat's look just made Louis laugh even harder. He thought Lestat always
scanned everyone's mind automatically. Perhaps, Louis thought, Lestat had become so used to the
mortals of their backing band, that he thought he didn't need to.
"Come on you two" Anna called through the door again. "The show starts in a couple of hours, and if you
two are late again John is going to go berserk."
"Okay, okay. Keep you're hair on. We're coming" Lestat replied, as he took one last glance in the mirror
to check he looked the part. Louis picked up his guitar and the pair left the hotel room to prepare for
another concert as the world famous duo, Savage Garden.
