Autumn walked up to the others at the entrance, she was smilling was looking very nice in a pair of combats, t'shirt , and a cropped camoflage jacket, "Hi guy's," she smilled,
Nathan was with Autumn, he nodded to the other s in greeting.

Ros wondered down the stairs and to the others, "Fey's already gone, " she smilled , "She's gone to her aunts."
Ros paused and looked at Taran, "You don't look 100%."

Zoe ran up to the others, having spotted them, and smiled brightly, "Hey guys."

She was wearing a black wool skirt, her favorite boots (without heels, since she hated heels), a favorite white top and her black army jacket.

She hadn't picked up anything about Rex bashing or guy bashing, and simply gave them all a salute, "How goes it this afternoon?..." she lowered voice a bit, "Hopefully no monsters in forcast?"

--

Tommy came back into the bedroom to find Kim tidying up, and raised his eyebrows a little, "Uh..." he looked around at the assortment of clothing, "Well, looks like a hurricane hit the place," he said with a laugh, and picked up a shoe, not seeing it's mate in sight.

He helped her finish picking everything up, and then dug out the shirt he was going to wear and a cordurory jacket, leaning over to give her a kiss as he did up the shirts buttons, "Been a while since I went to a carnival," he said.

--

Bob was relaxing outside, or at least trying to relax...hard to relax when you have to finish writing a paper for school. He was sprawled out on his somach in the grass, laptop in front of him and a rimless apir of specs resting on his nose.

Zeiku was laying half in and half out of his bed, having just fallen out of it, having gotten tangled in the sheets while sleeping, and not having relised it till he tried to get out.
--

Sora was sound asleep. He had asked Rei to come wake him up later, he wasn't sure if she actually would or not. He hadn't gotten to really talk to her about the whole Rei-Zita-same-person thing before hand. Hopefully he would manage that today if she actually did come over.

--

Felix had been thruroughly avoiding the whole group as best as he could for the last week, not wanting to talk about anything to do with Ariana or his idiotic decisions.

He was walking through the park at the moment, trying to distract himself from the recent events, by trying to remember where he was with working on Beez' body. A little difficult since he hadn't been to the CC in a week or so...and he didn't want to go back there right now either.

Ryla smiled, "One can only hope not ... Iwant this strapping young man to win me a teddy ... so no monsters please ..."

--

Kim smiled and kissed him back, as she folded everything up rihgtly, "Well .. .i was trying to clean up ..." she smiled, "yea ... it ahs been a while huh?"

She help him button up his shirt and smiled, running a hand through his hasir, kissing him again.

--

Ariana was trying to keep to herself, walking to the carnival, until there he was. Felix. He didn't seem to notice him, so that was good, he couldn't teleoprt away. SHe walked clsoer to him, and gently touched his arm, "Felix?"

She pulled her sunglasses off to try and look him in the eyes.

Zoe raised her eyebrows at Ryala, "What? Win you a teddy?..." she laughed, "Why not win him a teddy?" she asked with a smirk, "Or is the Feme Red trying not to act too tom boyish today?" she asked playfully.

--

Tommy smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist, "Ready to go then?" he asked, nuzzling her neck a little.

He was enjoying having her around again, really he wouldn't have minded just spending the day at home with her - but they had said they would go to the carnival.

--

Felix jumped, and then backed up a few feet away from her, frowning, "What do you want?"

Ryla grinned, "but I want the teddy ... take avantage of his brute strength ... don't worry I'll fwin him one too ..." she grinned, "The most masculine teddy I can find ..."

--

Kim murmered a bit, "hmmm? Yea ... guess ... Tommy ,you really seem to put me off my game so easily ..."

She leaned up and captured his lips in a kiss ... it was damn near irresistable ...

--

Ariana looked down, rejected, "I just wanted to talk Felix ... you've been avoiding everyone ... I'm sorry ... I didn't mean to bother you ..."

She looked away, and held her glasses at her wasit, "I was just on my way to the carnival ... i relly didn't mean to bother you ... I was just worried about you ..."

Wood finally made his way out of the front door, still looking half asleep, he'd shooved on his yellow leather jacket and grabbed his helmet before starting up his bike, He had to do things the normal way sometimes, "Wood you should sleep more," he muttered to himself before driving out of the drive.

Rei held a small piece of paper of paper in her hand , she eyed the address on it carefully, and looked at the apartment buildings in front of her, this one seems right, she thought to herself,
a slight uneasy feeling in her stomach, she wasn't two good at reading English anyway and hadn't someone warned her never to wake a sleeping man she wasn't sure who maybe it must have been Winter or Zack early one morning? .
Rei took a deep breath and stepped closer to the door and rang the bell for the appartment on her piece of paper.

Sora jerked his head up at the sound of the phone....Wait...not the phone. Well, it was, but it was ringing the door ring, not the phone ring.

He stumbled out of bed, and picked it up, "Mrph.." he didn't even ask who it was, and hit the button to unlock the front doors for them, "Come on up," he mumbled, covering a yawn.

--

Tommy smiled into the kiss, "Mmm, well...maybe you want to be put off your game?" he murmured, giving her a mischevous look before leaving a trail of kisses down her neck.

--

"Ah...er.." great...now he felt bad, "Sorry," he muttered. He gave a slight shrug at her comments about being worried, "And I'm fine..."

He had stopped walking, he wasn't really trying to shun her away...it was just more awkward than anything to talk to her now.

Kim murmered again, "So what if I do ..."

She ran her fingers ove his shirt, playfully unbuttoning the buttons she'd just done up for him ...

--

Araian shook her head and lookd abck up to him, "No you're not ..." she frowned, "Raina's done a lot to you ... and you can't just get over that all alone ... you need to talk it out .. .or ... do something ..." she sigfhed a bit, "I feel responsible .. .I wish I'd tried harder to keep her away from you ..."

Rei eyed the corridor like a curious child, she hadn't really been in many buildings in Angel Grove and remembered very little of anything else,
"Hello," she called out walking up some stairs and knocking on the apartment door.

By the time Rei knocked on the door, Sora had pulled on his clothing, and was drinking deeply from a cup of coffee. His hair was still a mess mind you, and he hadn't quite woken up yet.

He pulled the door open, and went back to the table, "This is why it's a good idea not to stay up till all hours reading," he said, stiffling a yawn, and taking another gulp from his coffee cup.

Thankfully he had thought ahead, and cleaned up the messy place the night before, so he wasn't going to be outrageously embarassed inviting someone in.

"Have a seat," he said, motioning to a chair, "Want anything? Fresh coffee? Juice? Cookies?"

--

Tommy chuckled, "So you I take it you don't want to go to the carnival after all?" he asked, sliding a hand up under her shirt, feeling the smooth skin of her back.

--

Felix shrugged and looked at the ground, "Not your fault..." he said after a moments silence, "I...I should have known better...something kept nagging at the back of my head the entire time - I just ignored it..."

He sighed, "I...don't really think talking about anything will help me," he muttered, "Just takes some time to get over it all..."

Kim shook her head, "It's open all day and night ... we have plenty of time ..."

SHe shiveredat his hand but smiled, opening up his shirt, and kissing his chest lightly.

--

Ariana touched his shoulder, "Raina is just .. .evil ... and I really am soryr ... she used me to get to you ..." she sighed, but smiled, "We can still be friends right? I eam n... maybe not ... I could bring up bad memories each time you see me ..."

God she was horrible, her coutner aprt had ripped hi8s heart out essentially ... and here she was wanting to be friends, mayube something more ... god she was horrible!

Rei smilled, "juice would be nice," she took a quick glance around , thank god it wasn't a mess she thought to herself, she'd have been rather embarassed, not that Sora didn't have some of the best excuses right now for leaving his apartment a mess.

"Masculine teddy," Nathan raised an eyebrow, "yeah with facial hair, a love of soccer and 'Rex' style attitude." Nathan laughed,

Even Autumn grinned.

Ryla snorted abit, "Though I'm not sure that Tai would want a teddy o snuggle .. .that has a rex style attitude ... squeeze it and hear Rex phrases?" she giggled again.

Zoe blinked at Ryla's comments, "Er...did I miss something, or are you just poking fun at Rex again?" she asked, raising an eyebrow quizzically.

--

Sora smiled, ran a hair through his hair to somewhat tidy it up, and pulled out a carton of orange juice and a carton of apple juice, "Take your pick - there's pineapple orange juice as well, however that is the holy grail of juices...you're special though, so you can have some," he said with a wink.

He put the three cartons on the table, and gave her a glass, before turning to help himself to some coffee, "So...How goes the life of Zita's good side?" he asked, quite casually.

--

He looked at her silently, and then shrugged, "I guess."

He turned to keep walking, but stopped for a second, "I...I liked you before...I felt so sure there was a good side..." he sighed, "And then all the attention Raina gave me, just for you to reveal that she was the evil side...well...just don't expect me to be all warm and bubbly for a while," he said, before moving onwards.

--

~Ah...I'm in no mood to be writing lovey dovey stuff, nor am I very good at it. I'm just gonna say he's being all romantic n stuff and the scene continues in the direction it seemed to be going beforehand.~

Ryla nodded, "Just poking fun at Rex ... as per usual."

--

Ariana held her hand out, "Wait Felix ..."

She jogged up to meet him, "There's something that the rangers wanted to talk to you about but ... we couldn't really gert a hold of you ..."

She sighed, "We don' believe that Raina knows that I've contacted you rangers and ... if she doesn't, she may try to come and see you as me once again ... we need you to not ignore her, or out her as evil," she nodded, "We need you to play along ... I know it isn't what you want but ... if you ploay along you might be able to find out something about winter or about their plans ... it's possible ..."

"Rex lke phrases...Tai snuggling eddy bears..where the hell did this onversation go so very wrong?" res asked, rubbing the back pf his neck unsurely

Tai looked decidedly uncomfortable "Good question," he agreed

Tori giggled

Becca raised her brows at Jace. he was a smooth talker so she didn't take any of what he said too seriously. She glanced at the others. "Nope. Not alone. Seems to be alot of us," she stated
--

Raouls chuckled. "O'll have to remember that," he said with a grin

--

Taran hadn't even relaized he was still on the porch by himself. He blinked at Ros. "Too mucg studying, not enough sleep," he said and shook his head, trying to clear the cobwebs. "I'd better get moving before I fall asleep right here," he declared wryly and then offered his arm. "Need an escort?" he asaid
--

Billie, unlike herself, had actually taken a bit of time with her appearance. For whatever reason Zoe always inisted on giving her clothes as irthday and holiday gifts. Billie rarely wore anything too girly or not blue jeans and a shirt, but she was determined to have fun today.

She made sure she had pockets though, andstuffed her hands in them as she made her silent way through the park, head down, deep in thought
--

Shen sat in a tree above Bob. She was silent, eating an apple, one leg swinging absently. She didn't bother him. She wasn't a big talker so the silence didn'y bug her, plus he was busy. So was she. She had a smaller knife than the one in her boot and was painstakinly carving a peace of wood

Ros grinned, "Sure do, no Ifetayo i'm lost," she said putting her arm round through his, "what are you studying anyway? " she asked quizzical, "it's not that i don't listen, honest, the whole college thing confuses me completely , we call that Uni back home,"

Rei smilled and her heart lept, 'he say's i'm special a giddy little voice said round and round in her head. Rei poured herself a glass of orange juice and froze, she hadn't expected that, yes maybe to be angry or even seemed rilled, she paused looking for words she deemed it silly to play ignorant, she knew Sora was not stupid.
"Could be much better, if she knew more that," Rei's expression was the complete opposite of Zita's , no sign of cunning or ferocity, and guilt of not sharing showed completely on her face.


Autumn laughed , "yes this converstaion really has gone off the deep end,"

Wood pulled up outside the entrance to the carnival, he waved to the others who he could see approaching , still with his helmet on.

Ryla grinne,d "Well .. we'll settle this once Tai wins me a teddy ..." she smirked, "You will won't you? You big strong man you?" she look up at him, puppy dog eyes full and her lips pouty, "Or am I gonna have to win one for myself ..."

Jace nodded, and stuffed his hands in his pockets, "So ... any rides you're hoping to get on?"

He aws at a loss at what to say ... his royal background woulndn't help here, nor being a reaver ... and his smooth talking didn't seem to get him anywhere's ...

--

Maeve smiled, and her ears perked as she could hear the faint sounds of the carnival, off in the distance, "Ooh! I can hear it!"

She tugged his arm, "Come Raoul, I will show you all the fun we shall have ..."

"Journalism," Taran answered as he lead the way. Already with his acute hearing, the sounds of the carnval reached him, though they were still a dstance off

Tai grinned slightly. "Yes, I'll win you a teddy," he assured her

Becca shrugged. "Dunno what all they have yet. the gavity thinger is always fun, and i see they have a ferris wheel," she shrugged again. "I'm mainly about the food though," she declared

Tori waved at Wood and giggled. "Is there a pressing reason for the helmet?" she asked as he got closer
--

Raoul chuckled. "I'm looking forward to it," he said and sped up at her tugging. He was glad she was looking so happy in a long while

RYla smiled and hugged into him, "Thanks babe ... I'll try and win you something guyish if I can ... I know in Stone Canyon, the carnivals always had a poster game. You throw a dart at a wall full of posters, and if you hit one, you get a copy of that poster ... lots of those guyish girly pictures ... pam anderson, carmen electra ..." she winked and grinned, "I'll share you with them ..."

Jace nodded, "Oh really? And what sort is that Becca?"

He smiled, as he'd never erlly gone t o many festivals such as this ...

--

that's actually game at our Ex thy brought it back ,i won batman and playgirl, good posters ... but they have nacho chese on the back eww ...

--

Maeve smiled as they came upon one of the side entrances. They settled in the line that had formed there, and she smlied, still holding his arm. Maeve looked up to Raoul, "So, what would you like to try first? The rides, the games? Or some good old fashined carnival food?"

She grinned thinking of fries, pretzels, cotton candy, hotdogs on a stick all battered up, and popcorn, aslty salty popcorn. It was all so mouth watering ...

--

no wonder Maeve is so curvy, lol
