[IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/cutie.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=1]Name: Cutie III Age: 1 Appearance: Look at the picture provided above. Powers: She has the power to nag and complain until someones head explodes! It's super cool, as some people would like to say. Species: Unkown? Cutie III was aban-abandeded-abn- I CAN'T DO IT!!!!!! She was left on a street okay! Then a car came by and made her fly into a land of suffereing. That's how she got her deformed ear. Cutie has had many appearances on Montel, Maury, and even Dr.Phil. But none of them helped Cutie III to stop her nagging and complaining. Maybe it was not meant to be...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Hmmm... time to crack the Fallen! [B]SN[/B]: Hmm, maybe you went through a complete personality change, or you got a sudden interest in fallen angels? Hmm, could be either. [B]Custom Title[/B]: Well I know your being sarcastic that's for sure. Maybe it's an inside joke that I don't get? [B]Banner and avi[/B]: Now I know that you are drawn to fallen angels lately. The banner depicts that the fallen angels will have their vengance. I think...well to come to a conclusion you are.. A guy who has all these inside jokes, who thinks fallen angels are cool, and...wow that's it. Heh, well buh-bye for now. AND SOMEONE DO ONE ON ME!![/SIZE]

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]Alice was walking down the hallway. She entered the same room as earlier and put on her uniform. Alice slowly walked toward a long narrow case, she lifted up the hatches and opened the cover. There lay the sword Excalibur, her most prized possession. She stood there for a moment, looking at the sword that caused so much bloodshed in her days. But it was worth it, it is what she had to do. She picked up the sword and put the tip against the floor making a loud THUMP. Alice walked out the room looking at it one more time. She always looked back at her room before every mission, just in case it was her last. The lights turned off as soon as she closed the door. She proceeded down the hallway until she heard a voice in her head. ?You know you aren?t doing the right thing?? The voice was rasp and made a hissing sound at the end of its sentence. The voice was familiar, for she heard it everyday there was a mission. ?Laissez-moi seul (Leave me alone)? She continued to walk down the hallway, increasing her speed. As if she was trying to get away from someone. But the voice continued. ?You kill one of your own? you are killing yourself?? ?Vous parlez dans la vieille femme d'énigmes (You speak in riddles old woman)? ?Then learn to understand them you fool?? With a flash Alice appeared outside the base. Everyone was gone she was the only one left. She stood there with her head down. An old woman appeared in a cloud of dust, ?Hello?. Young one? Alice?s eyes filled with rage. She lifted her sword and went running toward the old woman. The old woman smiled and lifted her handand sand lifted from the ground, it covered Alice making her cough and bring her sword down. She teleported out of the sand storm and behind the old woman, she lifted her sword and? About 54 seconds passed? Flash appeared in front of the gates of the White House. She wiped a crimson liquid off her sword before facing the rest of the team. ?You?re late.? Sparx said with his arms crossed expecting an excuse. ?I had some?business to take care off.?

[SIZE=1][B]Name[/B]: Beta [B]Age[/B]: 25 [B]Gender[/B]: Female [B]Former Occupation[/B]: Secretary [B]Affiliation[/B]: Angels [B]Appearance[/B]: [URL=http://www.animevisions.net/Pictures/girls/KawaiiLilGirl.jpg]Here[/URL] [B]Personality[/B]: Beta is a very quiet person; she never rushes anyone and takes her time. Beta is also the one known to never speak up unless it is a dire emergency. This can sometimes help her, and sometimes ruin her. This calm personality got her the job of a secretary for a very important man, but that will be covered later. When she was little she always tried to sort out fights, being very successful all the time. As a result later on in her life she would be come to be known as ?The Healer?. [B]Bio[/B]: Beta was born in Berlin, Germany. Not that wealthy, but not poor either. Beta was taught to mind her manners, be calm, and never get into fights. These were the last words her mother told her, before she died. This always stayed with Beta, for a very long time. She had them carved into her bracelet so she would never forget; the bracelet can be seen on her left wrist. Next to remembering her mothers words was being deeply involved in her studies. If Beta wanted to be successful in life she had to be very good in her school academics. And so she was. Countless hours of Beta?s life were spent studying, even when the studying was not required. She always tried her best on her tests, and always passed them with flying colors. Like most students they were good at school because their parents pressured them. For Beta it was different. She pressured herself, to a point where she skipped a level due to her high performance in school. The teachers thought that Beta was their generations Einstein, but they did not want her to be in such fame they knew it would irritate her. At school no one actually bothered Beta, except one person. Astrid Doerschel, she always had something to say about Beta. Beta just walked away most of the time but Astrid would just follow her and keep at it. One day Beta finally spoke up saying ?Lassen Sie mich ist?. Astrid who was obviously appalled that Beta spoke up left her alone and never chose to talk to her again. This was the beginning of Beta?s soft, but powerful voice. [B]Weapons[/B]: Two Sais. [B]Sills[/B]: Beta has made her own style of fighting called ?Energie? which means ?Power? in German. It has a combination of Tae Kwon Do, and street fighting. Odd it may seem, this calm young woman knows how to fight pretty darn good. [B]Character Snippet[/B]: In Berlin?. About 7 years ago? Germany wasn?t doing so well lately. East Berlin and Berlin were starting to fight; people were being killed out on the street, blood flying, as well as parts. It was so bad people were not even safe in their homes, forced to move to different countries. One of them being America, but Beta and her family did not make it to America without loosing one of their own. A price you have to pay when you choose to stay in a time of turmoil? the woman was pointing into a glass case at a small diamond ring. The clerk behind the counter smiled, he reached into the case and pulled out the ring, putting it into a small box. she walked out of the store after putting some coins down on the counter. Outside a riot was brewing. the clerk called out as she walked out the door. As soon as she walked on to the street, three shots rang out. Everyone looked around, until they spotted the victim. The woman was laying on the floor, a pool of blood around her. The clerk from the shop ran out, he kneeled down next to her. Tears started to flow down his cheeks, one drop fell on to her nose. She did not move. 10 minutes later..... Beta was going 150 mph toward the shop on her motorcycle. She already knew what had happened, and she wasn't going to leave it at just that. She approached the riot zooming right in to it. She jumped off the bike, which flew through the air hitting two people in the face and back. She took out two sais spinning them in the air. People began to look at one another, some were just crazy and ran toward Beta. Taking one step backward, she started to run toward them. She held her sais out and stuck them into one man. He cried out as he dropped the stick he had in his hand, she withdrew her sais letting him fall to the ground. Another man decided to take his fate running toward her with his gun in the air. A small smile formed on her face. She kicked the gun out of his hand and turned around. It seemed as though she was just walking away from him, the man having a stunned look on his face. But he fell to the floor, drowning in his own blood. She walked toward the spot where her mother had died about 15 minutes ago. She took out a small note and put it on the spot. It read: "You may be gone but I know you can read this. I will love your for ever and eternity. I will fight for you, I will die for you. Just hold in there mother, for I will join you soon."[/SIZE] OOC: Sorry it's short. I am having writers block again...oh well I hope that's good enough.

[SIZE=1]Yayness. I have people that like my art! Ahem.. thanks for your comments once again. Well...I guess I have more banners for you to enjoy! These two are for my furture SN..yup that's right. Old Isadora is gonna transform to Beta!!![/SIZE] 1. Sweet Beta- [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/Betabanner.jpg[/IMG] 2. Tough Beta- [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/betabanner2.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=1]Tee hee. I can't decide which one to choose. Hopefully your comments can help me choose. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Yezness! More! Well here I go again! Alone 1: I love it. I just simply adore it. The darkness gives it the feeling... but it doesn't seem to go along with the effect you made. The effect (not sure what it is) makes teh picture look kind of cheery. Heh. Alone 2: Perfect. This is what I meant by cheery. I like the lighting on his skin, it really brings his hair out. 0.o. Ok that was kind of random but whatever. As for the text...I think I would have liked to see something different. Well that's my opinion once again... Holy: The only thing I see different in this picture from the last is a strand of hair is lighter than the other. Sorry I can't comment this one much.. Silent: The darkness actually fits in here. With the lighting on his face which makes it yellowish.. (I am not racist because I am Japanese thank-you very much!). Also unlike all the other "graphics" the text also goes along with the picture this time around. Well that's it I think... Rabid fan-girl out![/SIZE]

[COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1]Aha that qoute is funnay! Just kidding Retri! Well anyways I really like the abstract brushing you did with the banners. The color is simply amazing, the first one if you made it a tad bit darker it would have looked a little better. But that's just me :animesmil. 2 + 3 since they are practically the same thing: Well I can't really spot anything. Maybe others can but I can't. The best part I like about the bigger banner is the text, but it reminds me of a skate park...hmmm. And what is " The Outside " I am guessing it is a song?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[B][URL=http://www.pixel2life.com/]Pixel2Life[/URL] [/B] [SIZE=1]That site has some pretty goo tutorials. And yes they cover animated banners, I hope you find it useful. It comes with different tutorials for making banners too. Click on the Adobe icon to the left, then just do the search engine thing.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Thanks again for your inputs, the really help me out! So now I re-did the banner due to popular demand, and I decided to make another banner with soem grunge brushes. [/SIZE] [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/5.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=1]So that's the one I redid. I think I could have faded the image a little bit more. But it definately came out better than the first one, enjoy. Now for the new one I did with grunge brushes, I am fairly new to grungey banners. Phew, but I L-O-V-E them, they give it a....well 'grungy' look to. [/SIZE] [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/grungybanner.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=1]I bet you like the background color, eh? Well not much to say about this one, all was said in the semi-paragraph above. But enjoy once more, and leave [B]comments[/B]. Bye for now, I am working up some new creations.[/SIZE] EDIT: I Added a border to it, lol.

[SIZE=1]Well, this took a long time for me to get some new banners and sets up! But anywho I made a new set for Who Am I, it turned out pretty good. I like it, but [B]please[/B] leave some comments on them![/SIZE] [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/daisukebanner.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=1]So that's the banner, I really like the font and shadow behind Daisuke.[/SIZE] [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/daisukeavifinish.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=1]The avi...it took some rotations and stuff but it got a nice outcome, don't you agree?[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]And now ladies and gentleman...this next banner took me so long I felt like clawing my eyes out. It made me feel like a failure at times, and made me feel like I was a banner maker extrodanaire. It made me feel as though I was Ozy, Imi, or Retri...sometimes it made me feel like I was a clown :(. But it all came down to 4 minutes ago, when I clicked sumbit image on Photobucket...I felt a wave of excitement flow through my body. I jumped for glee, and cried of joy (not really, trying to be sarcastic here people!). So....without any further delay...my first original banner... *curtains slowly open up*[/SIZE] [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/secondoutcome.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=1]Now, most of you are either laughing your heads off, or going through tissues like the season finale of Friends. But I am ok with both of them...because I know inside of me this is a great peice of art. For you it's a baby step for me, but it's a giant step in the world of Photoshop for me.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Alice, also known as Flash, teleported outside the room the meeting was being held in. She walked down the hallway and approached a door. She opened it walked into the room and quietly closed it behind her. She looked around her room, it was very gray and un-colorful. She sat on her bed; to her side was her journal. She smiled inwardly and picked up the journal. Flash opened it up to its first page, the day the old woman gave her the journal. It was in French, she didn?t learn English until she was 16. She heard a knock on the door, ?Come in!? she said. A young man stood in the doorway, it was Chris Smith a.k.a Flare. ?Oh hey Chris?? Alice kind of smiled at him, he seemed to hang around her a lot lately. ?What are you doing?? ?Oh nothing just looking at my old journal?? ?Can I see?? ?Sure? Flash handed him the journal. ?The fist few pages are in French, but you can look at the doodles I made in the side.? She pointed to the margins; small pig faces decorated the borders. ?Heh, I like drawing pigs?? They both laughed, Flare continued to flip the pages. ?Well I am gonna go now, get ready for the flight? He got up and walked toward the door. Flash watched as he left and took the corner down the hallway. She also left the room and headed toward the technology room. She tapped something into the computer and a file popped up. It read, ?Molecules?, Flash was very good with math and science so she researched how the girls molecules moved about to make her move through solid objects. She smiled, she found a way to stop the girl from going through walls. A few minutes later? A syringe popped out from a hole. She grabbed it and quickly ran out the room to find Sparx. She found him still in the meeting room looking at a map. ?Sparx!? He turned around with a curious look on his face, ?Yes?? She smiled and took out the syringe. ?If I can get close enough to prick this in her? this liquid will stabilize her molecules, which will unable her to control them.? Sparx smiled ?Brilliant.?[/SIZE] OOC: Sorry it sounds really bad. I have writers block...

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Blue]Heh, I just got PSP9. Yea tht's right now I have CS and PSP9. Envy me...Well anyways I made the following with PSP9, much easier to work with. But keep in mind I have a [B]day's [/B] experience...[/COLOR][/SIZE] [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/ridebanner.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=1][COLOR=Blue]Err...I don't like it that much. I am pretty sure Ozy, Delta, of Imi can beat me in this one. Well at least I tried, right?[/COLOR][/SIZE] -Isadora EDIT// I made a different banner, this one is cleaner and better.

[SIZE=1]Ok so as most of you know I have recently purchased Photoshop CS. It is truely a great program to make graphics, and banner and avi sets. So without further delay here are some of the banners I have cooked up mysef. Please give me comments! And maybe a few tips on PS CS! These first few banners are used with simple filters. WARNING, THEY ARE NOT RESIZED. I just forgot...lol[/SIZE] [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/banner4.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=1]1. Purple Summer- This is actually my favorite filter to use.

My second favorite filter, I just like the cartoony appearance it gives. Tee Hee.[/SIZE] [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/banner1.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=1]4. Odd Summer- This banner makes me go "Lali" don't ak me why it just does. I don't like this filter very much but, oh well.[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]This next set is what I made for Who Am I? but I didn't like them.[/SIZE] [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/finishavi.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/whoamibanner.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=1]See?

[SIZE=1]Next time use the [B][URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=85]Art By Request[/URL] [/B] sub-forum. Ok? But here it is...[/SIZE] [CENTER][IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/avifinish.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [SIZE=1]You can get the URL by doing the following.... Right Click the banner Go down to Propeties Double click it Copy the URL And there you have it. If you need further instruction please feel free to PM me.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]Real Name[/B]: Alice Manqué [B]Codename[/B]: Flash [B]Place of Birth[/B]: France [B]Age[/B]: 20 [B]Gender[/B]: Female [B]Appearance[/B]: Flash is a very tall slender woman. She stands about 6?0??, and also tends to tower over most people. She does not let her height bother her; she sometimes uses it to her advantages. She can reach places where others on her team cannot. This is a great advantage to Flash. But, she is a lightweight, only weighing at 124 lbs. She has been known to fly across a field quite easily with one good hit. Her ?costume? consists of a rubbery substance unknown to man, possibly made by her. It has a silvery color, which makes it shine in the light. On her feet she wears heavy metal boots, they are very bulky looking and have two lug nuts on each boot. [B]Personality[/B]: Flash is very open about her opinions. She is not quite at all, but when it comes down to be serious you will see a whole other side to her. Flash will get her way and if she doesn?t, well she will let her sword do the talking. She also loves to fight, it?s one of her strongest areas. Although she doesn?t have super human strength she finds herself to be rather strong, despite her physical disadvantages. Strong headed, hot tempered, and ready to fight, are all ingredients to making this tough girl. [B]Bio[/B]: Day 1: This nice old woman gave me this journal. It was kind of weird, she just walked up to me and told me this journal will hold the key to my future. I mean c?mon, I am only 14 this journal cannot really tell me what my future is going to be. It doesn?t even make sense! I don?t understand this it is all just so confusing. But lately some weird stuff has been happening, today my hand almost disappeared?and I woke up this morning in the living room. I didn?t even sleep in the living room last night. Maybe I did, I really don?t know. Day 2: Ok, I went back to see that old lady and she wasn?t there. I asked the people around and they said they haven?t seen any old woman around the stores. Definitely odd?I wonder if this old woman is..magical? I know it sounds childish but I mean?. Was she never actually there? Did she actually give me this journal because it was the key to my future? Can it be the answer to why I am appearing and disappearing in different places while I am asleep? Day 5: Sorry I haven?t wrote in a while. But I am in shock right now. A new group of super heroes and all this other stuff are starting to emerge. It?s scaring me? could I have these special powers that these other people have? This is just running though my head like crazy. I have a headache so I am going to lay down now. Bye. ?.. Day 3,900: Ok I joined this stupid super hero team, whoo hoo for me. PAH! My powers are so much better than the rest of these freaks?turning into animals? That?s so funny?why don?t you turn into a rock and stay that way. HAHAHA. I swear some of these people just make me want to laugh out loud so badly. But I stood silent, like I wanted to. I don?t want to make a bad impression on this little team so I?ll keep quiet. So you can?t tell, ok? Ciao for now. Superhuman powers: Teleportation can?t believe no one chose this yet? it makes a 'flash' everytime she uses the power. That's why she is called Flash. [B]Weapons/gadgets[/B]: A simple sword called Excalibur [B]Mode of transport[/B]: none, she has teleportation. [/SIZE] EDIT: Sorry it's a peice of crap. I have a MAJOR headache right now, I'll finish it later. Sorry again.

[COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1]Well I decided to take a whack at it. Heh, I am new to Photoshop but here it is..[/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER][IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/IceQueen12/desertsun.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1]I also had a problem of getting the text to match the picture..but I tried. I hope this can actually compete with Ozy's. ^.^ [/SIZE] [/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Blue]I agree. The "n00bs" have had a sudden outbreak in the Boards recently. There are a lot of threads that have been closed lately due to new members not knowing the rules. One of my friends recently joined but she learned wuickly, she still sometimes has poor sentence structure but she is getting there. I don't think that the new members won't be as "n00bish" if they read the rules. So I do agree that the new members are somewhat manifesting the boards, but I think the new member population will decrease with time.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=Blue][B]Name[/B]: Elizabeth Marques (Mark-Quey) [B]Age[/B]: 24 [B]Skill[/B]: Flute charm. A bard of some sort... [B]Entertainment[/B]: Musician, plays the flute. [B]Appearance[/B]: Elizabeth is very tall for her age. She stands about 5'9'', some of the people around the cities call her the "Beautiful Giant". This title could have been offensive to some people but Elizabeth finds it quite amusing. Her golden locks fall down to about shoulder length, she usually plays with it showing she is bored or thinking of a scam. She wears a big purple elegant dress, ruffles decorate the chest area. Her boots are that made of leather, the strings very thick but unnoticable under her dress. [B]Personality[/B]: Very calm and peacefull, well unless it comes down to fighting. Elizabeth has the tendancy to walk into the battle, sit on a rock and cross her legs. Small smirks slip onto her face as the battle intensifies. Her cockiness can sometimes get the best of her at most times. But other times it is what makes her liked. Overall she is calm but sarcastic, peacefull but cocky. [B]Other Info[/B]: Elizabeth is in this for all the money. And that's it. [/COLOR] [/SIZE] [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1]EDIT---------------------------------- Ok here is my new sign up. [B]Name[/B]: Shi-Shi Ba [B]Age[/B]: 40 [B]Gender[/B]: Female [B]Race[/B]: Kaminoan [B]Home world[/B]: Kamino [B]Affiliate Order[/B]: Old Jedi Order [B]Rank[/B]: Jedi Master [B]Class[/B]: Jedi Master [B]Lightsaber[/B]: Dual Lightsaber. This lightsaber is unique from all other dual lightsabers. If you activate it the first time, one side appears making it into a normal lightsaber.But if the battle seems to get a little bit tougher she pulls out the other half of the lightsaber. It is about 3 feet when it is in it's normal lightsaber stage. Including the second part it is about 6 feet long. Shi-Shi worked very hard to build this lightsaber, though it was a pink appearance, she can really pack a swipe with this weapon. [B]Lightsaber Style[/B]: Soresu [Form III]: Level 2 [B]Force Powers[/B]: Master Heal Master Speed Force Wave Destroy Droid Force Redirection [B]Appearance[/B]: [URL=http://www.zuul.gotdns.com/jangofett/pictures/Kaminoan2.jpg]Click[/URL] [B]Biography[/B]: Shi-Shi was born into a wealthy clan family on the planet of Kamino. Her father was usually gone, due to the fact he was part of the Council representing the Kaminoan race. Shi-Shi attended a Jedi Academy as early as a youngling. From a young age Shi-Shi was always calm and liked to take the non-violent path to problems. During her many days at the academy Shi-Shi took her breaks to study the Jedi Order and become more of an expert in the world of politics. She liked a decent debate once in a while, this personality got her farther in her Jedi career. Once she graduated from the Jedi Academy and went on to become a Jedi she had one goal in mind. To go on her first mission and complete it without any flaws. Shi-Shi requested an audience with the most powerful Master Jedi?s in order to get the best mission that she could. At first they weren?t too sure about sending such a young Jedi on a mission so early in their career. Shi-Shi insisted that she had trained harder than all the other Padawan?s. Her strong charismatic skills got the best of the audience and she was sent on a mission to negotiate with a near-by clan that was threatening to leave the Republic at the time. There her skills weren?t enough, they started to attack. Luckily the camp only had few inhabitants at the time. Shi-Shi won the battle but swore to never kill again. As she returned she was greeted with such celebration it was overwhelming. Shi-Shi was the first Padawan to go on such a dangerous mission and return without any injuries. Later on Shi-shi would become a Jedi Master, a very high and respected one at that. [B]Personality[/B]: Shi-Shi is a very calm and collected person. She has the heart of a dragon, and a mind as wise as the old man who lives in the mountains. She can be in one of her two different personalities, her charismatic one or her calm one. Her charismatic side is very outspoken, independent and determined. While the calm side is quiet, wise, and soft-spoken. These two personalities tend to differ on where Shi-shi resides at the time. Other: N/A Final Question I found this very easy actually. I liked the wide variety of selections, this was my favorite part. You made the picking of powers and ranks very easy in a step-by-step process. I think you have done an outstanding job with this RPG.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Blue]Well lucky me...my father works in the military...kind off. So I just got a copy of CS for free. So I won't be getting Elements. I am so excited it is almost done downloading. So now everyone who wants CS envy me! MUAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA...ahem. Delta I checked out Elements, it is totally for pics. Not good for making graphics or banners. But if you still want it that's your choice.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Blue]I thank you all for your suggestions. But I have decided to get Elements instead of the other two programs. I asked probably the most advanced graphics makers on the OB what program she used. She simply answer Elements 2.0. I wa samazed on how much she can do with this one small program. And I plan to do the same. So I will be purchasing Elements 2.0/3.0 later on today. Then I will probably stay up all night and learn teh thing, lol. Thanks again for your suggestions.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=SlateGray]Amy sat on the beach by her self. She knew that her gut feeling was going to come true, it never failed. She hummed a small tune to herself softly rocking back and forth. She felt the presence of someone sit down next to her, it was Drew. He put an arm around her comforting her. ?Everything is gone?my violin, my only picture of Korea?everything?? ?I know it?s not your violin, but I found this.? Drew handed her a narrow black case she looked at it curiously wondering what was in it. ?Well go on! Open it!? Drew was eager to see her response. She slowly unlocked the two hatches and as she unfolded it there lay in three pieces, a flute. She quickly put it together and marveled at it?s shine. ?How beautiful? thank you Drew!? she gave him a quick hug. ?Found it just lying over there, nothing much. Well we are ordered to get some stuff we will need for ourselves and the group.? Drew got up offering her a hand. ?Who is on this island anyways?? ?Um? Kina, Alex, Kyo-? he words after that were blocked out. The boy she liked was on the same island as she was. She quickly got up with her flute and ran down the beach through the rain and toward the other students on the island. ?Heyy!? she yelled waving her hand. A few heads turned toward her. As she got there she looked around. They had managed to gather some wood, canteens, toothbrushes, towels, some tatami mats, and pillows. The blankets were held of the small fire that was going on. Amy sat across from Kyo who looked the other way. His hair was wet, making it droop over his eyes. Amy sighed and also looked away, she had so many feelings for Kyo she couldn?t manage them.
