RPG Watermelon Slices & Summer Sun [PG-LS]

[shahi]

Kanya couldn't get to sleep that night she laid in her bed with her head phones on thinking. She hummed the song she was listening to lightly and put the small book she was writing in on the floor next to the bed. She heard some thing and thought it might have been one of the others in the house and turned up the volume of her cd player a bit. she leaned back staring at the ceiling and started to drift to sleep before hearing a knock on the door.

"who is it?" she said lightly jumping up. She pulled her headphones off letting them hang around her neck and walked to the door opening it slightly before walking out the room."what?s up?" She rubbed her eye lightly and cracked her neck some. "Did you hear some thing?" Kim asked. still able to hear the music from her head phones she shut it off.

"yea..a bit earlier but i thought maybe it was just some one going to the bathroom or some thing..."kim shrugged lightly."We don't know where it came from were gonna wake the others and check it out. she saw aria and tj knocking on doors trying to get people up.
She sighed lightly and started to try to get people up as well knocking on doors."We?ll find out what it is soon hopefully it?s nothing." She muttered lightly and kept trying to get people up.

[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]OOC: Just to let everyone know...Methy gave me [u][i]special[/i][/u] permission to post this.[/color][/size][/font][/b]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]After a little bit of knocking and shaking some people, everyone was up in the house. With all of the noise they had made though, she wouldn't be surprised if they had scared away whatever was making that noise. In a way, she had hoped they had scared them away, that way they could all just get back to bed soon. But she was a little curious about what had woken everyone up.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#4169e1][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Kim watched as almost everyone grabbed something to use as a weapon. She couldn't find anything to use, though. She wondered if she should go back to the room with Aria and at least cover up with a nightrobe or something, but Aria didn't seem to say anything, and nobody seemed to notice the state that they were in. Besides, finding out what was making that noise was the top priority right now.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]When they all got downstairs, they noticed that some of the stuff around the house was missing. But they still didn't see anyone who would've stolen it. The noise had stopped a little while ago, so whoever they were, they must have already escaped.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Kim noticed that her bag, which she had brought out front earlier, was missing. Feeling a breeze from an open door, she ran outside to see if she could see the robbers escaping.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#4169e1][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Aria, and everyone else heard a scream, so they all ran outside. They saw a man with his arm around Kim's neck. He didn't seem to be armed, but they couldn't be sure. There were two other men behind him, loading the stolen property into a large black van. The man told them to back off, but Aria stepped forward.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#4169e1][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"You'd better not hurt her." [/b]She said, glaring at the man. [b]"I might be a girl, but I'm stronger than I look."[/b][/color][/size][/font]

[Talon]

[color=royalblue][i]The man grinned lecherously, running his tongue down Kim's neck, his grip tightening slightly. Aria grimaced, the other two men grinning like idiots. Aria dd the only thing she could think of at the time.

She charged, the man's eyes widening in obvious surprise. It took two blows to knock him out, Kim falling lightly to the ground as the other two rushed forward, one with a knife in his hand. As more of the residents rushed to Aria's aid, some helping Kim, Aria's fist connected with another skull. The man fell, but not before lashing his hand out, dragging his knife across Aria's formerly unblemished cheek, leaving a deep gash. It was a minor affair for the rest of the household to take out the remaining burglar, as Aria, dazed, fell to her knees by Kim's side. Aria grinned wryly, taking Kim's hand in her own.[/i]

[b]Aria:[/b] Was it good for you, too?[/color]

[Albel the Wicked]

IC: Drake watched as Kim and Aria were hurt. He wasn't going to let these guys get away with this. First, he was going to make sure that they wouldn't run like mice. Since the burglar with the knife was unconsious. He whispered in what he thought was Beth's ear,"You and the others distract the last one, I'm going to make sure that they don't get away." Beth's figure nodded and she with some of the others, started to charge the men. Drake went for the unconsious burglar with the knife. "Don't think that you'll be using this, so I'm just going to take it." he said as he grabbed the knife. He went to their black van and shoved the knife into all four of its tires. "There, now not only are all of their tires flat, but using the knife has made it go dull." he said, tossing the knife away from the fight. He looked to see that the other burglar was uncosious. Seems that they took him down pretty easily. He walked up to them. "Is everyone alright?"
"No, Aria was cut by the burglar."
"Where?"
"In the cheek" said Aria.
"Let's start getting that wound treated, anyone else?"
"Just some bruises" replied Beth.
"Well that's good. They sure seemed like amatuers. Surprises me that they weren't all armed with some sort of weapon"
"Drake watch out!" yelled Beth.
Drake turned to find that one of the burglars got back up. The man struck Drake right across the forehead. Drake fell to the ground. Nothing....but black was seen by Drake. The last thing he remembers, was the feel of stone hit him in the head. Now, all Drake saw, was black. Black, all over.

[Last Night, as Kareoke was coming to a close...]

Connor and Cassie lay breathless on the cool grass, cheeks flushing and hormones going nuts. Eventually, Cassie swallowed and looked away slightly. "We should..." She began, "Yeah..." Connor agreed, already knowing what she was going to say. Delicately, they both got up and stood facing one another shyly for a moment. Silently, they headed towards the house.

Connor felt the light touch of Cassie's hand on his own, and he grasped it wordlessly. Just as they were entering Drake was calming things down, so the pair began silently up the stairs and to the room that they shared.

When the door closed behind them, Connor glanced at Cassie shyly, blushing deep red. Cassie did the same and they remained that way for a few moments. At last, Connor released her hand and walked to his bed, still silent. Before he fell asleep, he heard a soft "Goodnight," from Cassie's bed.

"I love you." He whispered, probably to soft for her to hear.

[Now.]

Someone had forgotten to knock on Connor and Cassie's door, leaving the two asleep. Connor woke to a comotion outside, senses dulled by sleep. Slowly but surely, he got his brain active and stepped out of bed. He looked over at the sleeping Cassie and wanted to melt. She was the picture of cute: arms held tight against her chest, mouth slightly open, and that cute little nose burried in the pillow.

He walked over and touched her shoulder lightly, "Cassie, wake up, there's-" He stoped in mid sentence. He had heard Cassie say something, muttering in her sleep. Curious, he leaned over her, trying to listen. "Connor..." She mumbled before abruptly reaching out and pulling his shirt collar.

Connor fell over, caught completely off guard. To his surprise, Cassie was still half-asleep, eyes beginning to ease open with the weight on top of her. Just then, TJ opened the door, breathing heavily with urgency and exertion. "Hey guys, we'vve got a serious prob...lem..." He saw Cassie laying with Connor on top of her and his mouth hung open for a moment.

"Uh, sorry, I'll come back later." He backed out of the room and Connor blushed deeply.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]OOC: I'm guessing Beth will help Drake. If not, then ignore what I said about that.[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[color=royalblue] [/color]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]After all of the robbers were tied up and taken care of, and some of the guys were bringing the stuff in, Aria went to go call the police but Kim stopped her and told her to wait until Cassie took a look at her cut.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"Don't worry, Kim. I'm fine. I'm just glad you weren't hurt."[/b] Aria said.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]But Kim wouldn't let her leave until her wound was taken care of. Aria sat down as TJ walked into the room.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"Is Cassie coming, TJ?"[/b] Kim asked.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]He shook his head and blushed.[/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]"Uh...no. She's...busy..."[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Aria asked TJ if he could call the police, and he nodded and walked off Kim then grabbed a first aid kit and sat down by Aria.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"Well, then it looks like I'll have to take care of this myself..."[/b] She said as she was about to clean off Aria's cut.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Aria backed away from her.[/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]"Shouldn't you take care of Drake? He probably needs more help than I do."[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Kim shook her head.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"No. Beth's taking care of him. In fact, she asked everyone to let her help him by herself. And besides, I owe you at least this much, if not more. You did save me after all."[/b] Kim smiled.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Aria hugged Kim.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"Of course. I told you before, I love you."[/b] Aria tried to smile as Kim put some iodine on her cut.[/color][/size][/font]
[color=royalblue][/color]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]After everything was returned back to its place, Drake and Aria were taken care of, and the police were on their way, Kim sat down on the couch. Aria sat down next to her and put her arm around Kim's shoulder. Kim rested her head on Aria's warm chest and sighed happily.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"So...what now?"[/b] Aria asked.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"I don't know."[/b] Kim answered. [b]"After what happened tonight, I don't think I'll be able to get to sleep tonight. How about you?"[/b][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Aria nodded. She sat and thought for a moment, and when she was about to say something else, she noticed that Kim's head was slipping down her chest. She kept it from falling, and smiled. She picked up Kim, and brought her to their room. After she put Kim in her bed, she grabbed a nightrobe to cover herself up for when the police came. Before she turned off the light, she stood and stared at Kim who was sleeping with a peaceful smile on her face. She would join her in a second to keep her warm.[/color][/size][/font]
[color=royalblue][/color]

[SIZE=1][B]OOC ...My...computer...wiped out my last...post....*twitch*[/B]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Beth pressed two fingers to Drake's head gingerly, hoping that he wasn't in too much pain. She realised that all he had, in fact, was a bad bruise. The cut was bleeding, yes, but it didn't look as if it would scar. Beth tore some of her pyjama top and dabbed Drake's forehead with the soft material, cleaning up most of the blood. She looked over to the gravel drive as a police car pulled in, a man quickly got out of the driver's side. He walked over to where the robbers had been left in a group, looking around in amazement. After handcuffing and pushing the men into the car, the policeman walked over to the closest person, Beth.

[B]"You done well to knock out those robbers, but I see you may need assistance,"[/B] his French accent was apparent and the man seemed to struggle with certain words. Beth cringed inwardly at the thought of having to use French; she never was any good at it. She stood up from where she had been tending to Drake and shook hands with the officer, shaking her head slightly,
[B]"You should be congratulating that girl,"[/B] Beth motioned to Aria, [B]"She's the real hero, not to mention Drake here."[/B] Beth turned her gaze to the boy on the floor behind her, a purple pyjama sleeve hanging limply from his forehead.

The officer sighed and rubbed his forehead, [B]"Do you need an ambulance?" [/B] he asked, his voice showed worry as he looked at Beth's thoughtful expression.
[B]"I don't think so..."[/B] she replied, [B]"We can handle ourselves, but we'll be sure to call if we need any help. Thank you, Officer."[/B]

The man obviously wasn't very pleased with Beth?s response and bowed his head slightly to the teen before walking over to Aria and Kim hoping to get a saner answer from them. In the meantime, Beth knelt down at Drake's side, removing the cloth from his injury. He groaned slightly and opened his eyes, looking up at Beth's face.

[B]"Beth, that you?" [/B] He asked groggily, his throat sounded dry and the night air had chapped his lips, Beth wondered why she was even looking at them. She quickly shook her head to clear it and smiled warmly at Drake, trying to look comforting.
[B]"I think you should lay still for a while, Drake." [/B] she said, watching as Drake smirked and raised an eyebrow.

[B]"It's cool, babe."[/B] he said jokingly, laughing slightly at Beth's pout. After an awkward silence, Drake raised his hand and propped himself up on one elbow, touching Beth's cheek lightly with his fingertips, gently stroking her pale skin. Beth jumped slightly at the touch but didn't back up, instead she felt a blush rise to her cheeks, warming her previously cold face. Drake chuckled smugly and sat up, cupping Beth's face lightly while guiding her lips to his. The girl almost gasped when her lips touched Drake's, surprised by the feelings she was getting, not to mention the atomic blush that had somehow illuminated her face.[/COLOR]

[B]OOC Gawd, all that writing for one kiss ^_~ You better appreciate that, Albel![/B][/SIZE]

OOC: Oops. It's been a while since i posted ^-^'' sorries

IC: Sakura was still trying to get a hold of herself after the whole incident. She gets scared really easily but doesn't want to admit it. As she paced to calm herself down, she caught a glimpse of Beth and Drake.

"Aha! So the romance [I]has[/I] started." she giggled as she skipped near them. As she got closer, she could see that they were too busy kissing to notice. Sakura got bored of watching so she took a big breath.

"HI HI YOU TWO!!!!" After she screamed in their ears, she just sat there smiling. Drake, being surprised by her unexpected visit, rolled away a few feet and blushed. As for Beth, she faced her back to Sakura and Drake, secretly blushing.

"Hmm? You two are impossible. If you like eachother why are you embarrased? Sheesh." Drake laughed when he heard this and walked back up to Sakura and Beth.


"I think we should all get inside now, come on, let's go." He gestured a hand to help Beth up.

"Yeah, after all this, i feel it would be better to be inside." Beth replied after getting the dirt off her pajamas. They all started walking up the door. Sakura laughed to herself when she saw they were holding hands.

"You know what? After all this, we need something to calm ourselves. I'm making hot chocolate!!" She skipped inside leaving the two behind.

[Kwany Kon]

[color=red]OOC: Ok, I need to post more often than this. It might be a few more days before I post again since I am working on something else. So then, on with my post.

IC:

After the cops left, John decided to go inside to go back to bed. As he went inside, he saw something on his window. There were two letters. One from the Dragon Clan. And another one from his uncle. He was amazed to see that his uncle wrote to him, or at all in that fact. He put the letter from his uncle on his bed, then opened the one from the DC. It said:

[I]Dear John,

Since you chased me off the other day, I never told you my name, but lets down to business. We here at the clan are gonna give you three days to prepare yourself. For in three days, we will be waiting for you in the forest, at midnight, to challange you to a brawl. Since you are the only one left of the Turtle Clan, we decided to send 20 of our best fighter to kill you. We wanna end your clan once and for all. Your clan seemed to always stop our plans in the past, ever since your father was the leader. Your mother was such a beautiful fighter. We had to kill them, for your father had defeated our Leader in a tournament of fighters. Well, good night John. Hope to see ya there.

From,
Steve
Leader of the Fire Tribe of the DC.[/I]

This really pissed off John. Why would anyone would want to kill his father over a stupid tournament? After about 5 minutes of walking in circles, he remember his letter from his uncle. John never really expected his uncle to write to him, since his uncle was drunk 24/7. His letter said:

[I]Dear John,

Sorry I never really had the time to write to you untill today, sorry about the wait. Anyways, the DC was at your house just 3 hours after you left for the villa. They burned it to the ground. Then they placed a headstone containing your name in front of your house. After they left, I went to take down the headstone to protect your family from more sadness. Soon afterwards, that young lady named Tina came looking for you again. I told her you went off somewhere, and that you would come back soon. She said ok, and told me that her father still has not returned from that important discovery. She told me to tell you to be careful, and to come back home alive. We wish you good luck and hope you return alive.

Love,
Uncle Tom[/I]

As John read the letter he remember something. Steve said to meet him in the forest in 3 days. This would not be enough time to recruit new members. After 10 minutes of thinking, John made his final decision. He would battle them alone, so that no one here at the villa would have to join his fight. He put down his letters and went to his closet. There laid on the floor, covered in silk cloth, lay his father's sword. John never used it for battle. His uncle gave the sword to him before he left his home. He told him it was to be used for good and not for evil deeds. John picked up the sword, removed the cloth, and started to clean it. For in three days, this blade would be used to kill 20 DC members who wanted to finish John and the Turtle Clan.

OOC: I thought this post would be something to keep in mind if I stop posting for a little while. Also, I will reveal who is Tina, and maybe a little background about the two friends. Well gotta go again. See ya later. Peace! [/color]

[Talon]

[color=royalblue][i]Aria smiled gently as she stripped what little she was wearing off, opening her diary and entering a small entry about the robbery in it. She looked in the mirror and shrugged, knowing a scar would form on her pale cheek. Perhaps it would make her a bit more intimidating.

Aria laughed out loud at that, hefting her breasts and looking at her face. Her, intimidating?! That was like saying a scared porcupine was cuddly. Aria shook her head and did some light stretches, working the kinks from her exertion earlier out of her muscles. She nodded when she felt ready and climbed under the covers, wrapping her arms around the sleeping Kim, smiling as Kim instiinctively snuggled closer, kissing Aria's neck and murmuring in her sleep. Aria smiled, falling asleep to Kim's gentle, even breathing.[/color][/i]

[Albel the Wicked]

OOC: Thanks for breaking the ice Sakura. I didn't know what on Earth to post. I never can conclude romantic posts to good.

IC: Drake and Beth went inside....still holding hands. As Drake went in, he saw Sakura making hot chocolate. Drake chuckled and said to Beth," She has such a free spirit. She can be just like a child at times. She can be pretty hyper too, huh?"
"Yeah a little" said Beth still blushing. Drake was blushing as well. It was a little embarassing having someone to break their romantic moment. Drake looked around to make sure that everyone was in bed. Although he was sure that anyone would be able to get to sleep after that. "Well, I guess that we should get to bed as well, right?" Drake said.
" I guess so." replied Beth. Drake kissed her on the cheek, just before she went to her room. Beth turned around and their lips met. They stayed like this for a little bit, then Beth went into her room. Drake went out a little ways to his room, when he saw Alan watching Sakura make hot chocolate. (Oh ho ho. Looks like SOMEONE has a secret cruuuuuusssh.) Drake thought. He went up to Alan. "So, what ya doin?" he asked
"AH! No-nothin!"
"Oh, sure" Drake said. He was going to do something a little devilish. He went to the kitchen and whispered in Sakura's ear. "Prepare two cups of hot chocolate, k?" With that, he went to a table and pulled out a chair. He then ran back to Alan and spoke to him. "Well, Sakura seems afully lonley. Maybe you should join her"
"What?"
"Come on"
"No!"
"You're just going to have hot chocolate with the girl" said Drake, as he pushed Alan in the kitchen.
"I don't want to!" Alan said, resisting.
"Oh, now that just mean. Why don't you like Sakura's hot cocoa?"
"I never said that!"
"Good, then you'll have a cup"
"NO!"
"Look, she already has a cup of it ready for you." Drake forced Alan into the chair that he pushed out. "Now, I need to go to bed. Have a head injury you know" said Drake as he walked off with a devilish grin. (You'll thank me later Alan.) Drake went in his room and went to sleep right away. (Man, what a night) though Drake.

[Shugo54]

as drake left alan was left alone with sakura.

Sakura: ummm where did drake go?

Alan: he went to fall asleep

Sakura: but he told me to make 2 cups of cocoa

Alan: can i have some cocoa?

Sakura: well sure here ya go

Alan: thanks

they both sat down at the table to drink their hot chocolate. they entered into a deep conversation.

Alan: sooo do you have a b/f?

Sakura: no

Alan: oh ok well i dont have a g/f either

Sakura; Really?

Alan: yes and i ughhhhh

Sakura: hmmm?

Alan: i kinda like you

Sakura: i don't know what to say

Alan: so would you like to go out with me?

OOC: well Sakura18 you choose what you want to do. ^_~

[sakura18]

OOC:Mwahahahahaha thanks for the oppurtunity Abel ^-^ *salutes*

IC: Sakura was still stunned for a while, but only for the fact that no one has asked her out for years. Only because she hasn't had the time for boyfriends.

"Uhhh, well, hmmmm." She continued to blush as she thought. Alan, holding his breath for her answer, looked disappointed.

"Ugh...i knew i shouldn't have asked. Sorry about that." He laughed to hide his sadness. It was quiet for a while and then he decided to leave.

"Again, i'm sorry for everything, if you want you can forget i asked." He took one final sip of the cocoa and got up out of his chair.

[I]What do i do? I don't know if i'm ready for a boyfriend. But he's so sweet and i owe a lot to him....[/I] She thought and thought until she realized he was leaving.

"W-Wait!! I....uh...I'd love to." she mumbled through all the blushing. As Alan heard this, his eyes began to widen with joy.

"A-are you serious??! I-I mean, there's no pressure or anything." He stumbled through his words.

"Yes!! I'm a hundred percent sure!" She smiled her biggest smile. It got too silent for comfort so she decided that they should get to bed.

"Oh, hey? It's getting pretty late. So, let's get heading to bed okay?" They held hands as they walked to Sakura's room. When they got there, just as Sakura turned to say good night, Alan passionately kissed her for a long moment.

"Good Night. Sweet Dreams!" Sakura could see him blushing as he ran out to his room. She stood there, blushing like she never has before, and all she could think of....was... [I]wow[/I].

[Lilt]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Kim woke up the next day, with her face buried in Aria's warm chest. She lay like that for a moment, just enjoying Aria being by her side. Then, she sat up in bed and traced her finger along Aria's scar. Kim still couldn't believe Aria had done this for her. She leaned down, and kissed Aria's cheek. Aria woke up, and rolled over onto her back, smiling at Kim.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"What time is it?"[/b] Aria asked, as she ran her hand across Kim's stomach.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Kim looked up at a clock on the wall.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"It's 11:20. We both slept a little late. Probably because of all that happened last night." [/b]She answered.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Aria sat up as well, the covers falling off of her.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"Well, I'm sure were not the only ones. I'm going to go take a shower. You can join me, if you want."[/b] Aria said as she stepped out of the room.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Like Aria probably expected her to do, Kim followed her to the bathroom.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]After they had showered and dried off, Kim and Aria went downstairs. They didn't worry about getting dressed, because of Aria's deal that she had made. Kim walked into the kitchen, and Aria followed her.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"I'm not great at cooking, but maybe you could help me. Then, at least most of the food won't get burned."[/b] Kim laughed.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Aria laughed as well, and put an arm around Kim and kissed her softly.[/color][/size][/font]
[b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]"Well, I'm not trying to brag, but I'll have the whole house up with the smell of my cooking."[/color][/size][/font][/b]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Then, they both started preparing breakfast. Like Aria had said, someone was already starting to walk into the kitchen, wondering what the great smell was.[/color][/size][/font]

[Ezekiel]

[COLOR=Green][SIZE=1]Beth stumbled down the stairs, clutching unto the banister for dear life knowing that she would fall if she let go. That smell was just incredible.... bacon sizzling in a pan, the smell of freshly toasted bread mixed with the sweet aromas of pancakes and waffles. Lord, if there was ever a breakfast to die for, that was it.

After actually opening her eyes properly, Beth realised that she was very close to having a close encounter with the doorframe. Not wanting to make an ass of herself so early in the day, she stuck out her hands and wobbled forwards into the kitchen. She yawned and blinked when she saw that Kim and Aria were both naked,
[B]"Oh my....brings a whole new meaning to 'Naked Chef'"[/B]

Aria chuckled and Kim waved, she was sitting at the table while Aria had a green apron wrapped around her, not that it hid much. Beth herself was only in a tank top and her underwear, but she ignored that and instead took to hovering over the stove where the bacon was. Aria kept a close watch on the blue haired girl, worried that she might start drooling all over the food at any moment.

Beth couldn't resist and reached out a hand to pick up a piece of bacon, but a large spoon was swiftly brought down on her knuckles followed by a long, and loud, line of swearing from her mouth. Kim couldn't help but laugh at both Aria's and Beth's expression, but someone interrupted their argument,

[B]"What's all the fuss about, some of us are trying to sleep...."[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Kayin Cloud]

Trey woke up to the sound of loud cursing going on in the kitchen as well as the smell of breakfast. He grabbed his glasses instead of putting his contacts in. He walked down the stairs stretching and yawning, nearly falling down the staircase. He approached the kitchen and took off his glasses to rub his eyes.

"What's all the fuss about, some of us are trying to sleep...." Trey said as he walked in with a groggy look on his face. He couldn't see very well and had his glasses in one hand as he rubbed his eyes. He put on his glasses after getting the 'sleep' out of his eyes to see Beth holding her hand, and Kim and Aria. Once he noticed Aria his face turned completely red. He looked away thinking, [I]Aw damn...I forgot about the bet Aria made...[/I]

"The 'naked chef' over here just cracked my hand with that spoon...All cause I wanted some bacon..." Beth said. She, Kim and Aria giggled at Trey for his reaction to seeing Aria. "You okay over there TJ?" Beth asked.

"Yeah just fine..." He replied nervously and still pretty red in the face.

"You sure TJ? You're all red..." Kim added giggling.

"I'm fine....really..." Trey said still as nervous. He sat at the kitchen table looking away from Aria so as not to have his face turn any redder. "Breakfast smells good Aria...regardless of being flashed upon waking..." he said making himself blush. [I]Dammit...I'm trying not to turn red...not make myself red...[/I]

[color=royalblue][i]Aria looked over at TJ worriedly as he exited the kitchen. Checking that the bacon wouldn't burn, and looking at Kim, nodding towards Beth, she wiped her hands and walked out. She found TJ, blushing redder than a tomato, on the sofa. She walked up behind him, smirking slightly.[/i] "You okay down there, TJ?"

[i]TJ spluttered and looked up, blushing even more when he caught sight of Aria's breasts up close. He shook his head, then nodded, then kind of came up with some cross between the two. Aria, convinced he was alright, smirked and turned around, almost running into Drake and giving him an eyeful.[/i]

"Oh, hey Aria. What's....up?"

[i]Drake, with an effort, kept his eyes on Aria's face. Aria again smirked, hopped once, and turned to ask Drake to go upstairs and wake John and the others when a loud "OW!!" followed by a string of Beth's colorful language entered the living room.[/i] "Drake, can you run upstairs and wake everybody? I need to go save breakfast from Beth..."[/color]

[COLOR=DarkRed]OOC: Sorry for this long post, some people have been e-mailing me about who is Tina. Well here is the answer. I know this doesn't include in the story, but its something to show about John's Past.

IC:

As John woke up, he went back to his closet to retrieve his letters from last night. He threw the DC letter on his bed, & opened his letter from his uncle. He skimmed until he found her name. He Knew Tina was going to come to his house. Tina use to always check on John. As John read the letter again, he had a flashback from his past.

~Flashback~

After about 5 years after the murders, John found his uncle living in the mountains. Even though his new parents didn't like him, John stayed with his uncle. While living with his uncle, John started to learn fighting techniques of the TC with the help from his uncle. Uncle Tom had once been a member of the DC but left to join his brother with the TC. Tom even taught young John some tricks the DC taught him. After school, John would come to his uncle's house in the mountains. Then one day, as John was coming home he saw some kids hitting a girl. John never liked bullies, he pushed them out to the side, then got the girl, and took her to his home. After Tom cleaned the girl's cuts, John introduced himself.

John: I'm sorry those kids picked on you. Oh, and my names John.
????: Thank you, and the names Tina. Those boys were mean to me.
John: Why did they start to hit you for anyways?
Tina: They wanted me to do their homework. I said no, so they started hitting me, & calling me names.

Soon afterwards Tina started crying. John didn't know why she started crying, so he asked.

John: Why are you crying?
Tina: I miss my dad. He's a scientist. He follows his job wherever it is.
John: Its ok. You're very lucky to still have a dad. *tear falls down John's cheek* I never knew my dad.
Tina: Sorry. Well, since you saved me, want to be friends?
John: *stops crying* Sure. *cleans out face* well, lets get you home, ok?
Tina: Sure...

Since then John & Tina were friends. John made no other friends, since he always started to beat up a kid if they made Tina sad. Tina, in return, made sure John never went into fights he wasn't suppose to be in. *years later* Before he left for the villa, Tina wanted to do something.

Tina: Hey John!
John: What do you want?
Tina: I just want to know *starts to blush* if you are ever going to ask me out on a date?
John: Hmm, maybe someday. I don't know. I guess tomorrow if I don't have anything to do.
Tina: Ok then, sure. *follows John to school*

John couldn't tell Tina he was going away for 5 weeks. When school was over John left for home, soon Tina came up to him.

Tina: What time you want me to come over?
John: *turns around* For what?
Tina: *starts to blush* FOR OUR DATE! WHAT ELSE?!?!
John: I don't know. *starts to think* Maybe 9:00, is that ok?
Tina: Ok. See you later! *runs home*

~End of Flashback~

That was the last time John saw Tina, he never could take her out on that date. He would have but had to come to the villa. This would be the only time John would have time by himself to find some information about the DC. He worried that she was gonna leave him. Tina was the only true friend that John had. He now was ready, he wasn't going to let that DC kill him, or Tina. He would fight to the end, even if it means killing himself to save Tina.

As John went to his closet he said to himself:

[I]No matter what happens in 3 days, I will go home. I will return back to the villa alive. I will take Tina out on a date.[/I]

OOC: I thought this post might shed some light on why John is the way he is. And again, Sorry about the long post[/COLOR]

[Ealier... AGAIN...]

Cassie's eyes blinked open, bleary. "Hmmm..." it was more of a sleepy groan than speech, and Connor blushed even deeper, trying to climb off of her, though her arms were still locked around his neck. She came to consciousness slowly, "Connor...?"

He lay stock still, unsure of what to do or say. "Uh... could... could you uh, let go of me?" Cassie stared up at him for a moment before realizing what he was talking about. "Oh! I'm sorry!" She said embarressed, quickly releasing him. She did, however, get a quick sense of intimate, cuddly pleasure as his light weight lifted away from her.

Connor, once off of Cassie, stood by her bed awkwardly, trying to hide how good it had felt to be that close to her. Cassie sat up slowly, in a bit of a sleepy daze. "What's going on?"

"Just... something outside. I think it's nothing..." Connor replied, forgetting about any thoughts of checking the situation. "Uh, sorry I woke you..." He averted his eyes, feeling very close with Cassie.

"Oh... that's ok." There was a long silence before Cassie reached out and tentatively held Connor's hand. He blushed again and squeezed hers lightly. There was another silence before Connor slowly and carefully leaned forward. The pair's lips touched lightly and soon they were locked in a passionate kiss. Subconciously, Connor kneeled onto Cassie's bed, still holding her hand and kissing her. Slowly, the two lay back, lips parting. With their arms around each other and still bleary with sleep, the two curled up in the girl's bed.

OOC: I'm just gonna leave them sleeping for now, but if anyone wants to walk in on them or something, have at it.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Kim, still laughing at TJ's reaction to Aria, went upstairs to help Drake get everyone up. On the way upstairs, Kim thought of telling Aria to forget about the bet that she had made. But not because she was embarrassed at seeing her friend like that, or because she was embarrassed about joining her, but the guys seemed a bit uncomfortable with the idea. Kim smiled. She didn't think Aria would go for it anyways. She liked teasing the guys too much. Kim looked at a clock in the hallway. She and Aria still had 30 minutes until they could get dressed. So it looked like they would be having breakfast in the nude, today.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Walking up to Cassie's and Connor's door, Kim pushed it opened slowly while Drake was waking everyone else up. She was about to tell them that breakfast was ready, when she saw both of them sleeping on the same bed, cuddled up together. Kim leaned on the doorway and folded her arms. They both looked so sweet, that she didn't want to wake them. Even if they got angry at her afterwards for letting them miss breakfast. Then, Drake walked up to see if Kim woke up Connor and Cassie yet. Kim put a finger to her lips to tell him to be quiet, and pointed to the sleeping couple. Drake nodded and they both walked away.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]"I'll bring them breakfast in bed, later."[/b] Kim laughed on the way downstairs.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Kim sat back down at the table, waiting for Aria to make the finishing touches on the meal. Kim smiled. She would have never thought she would've been in a relationship like this. Or how good it felt. But then, Kim started to wonder if she was the only one, or if Aria had someone back home. Kim shook those thoughts out of her head though, and grabbed some breakfast.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#4169e1][b]OOC: I predict thunderstorms up ahead. And, Kyuai, how was that?[/b][/color][/size][/font]

[Skye]

[color=indigo][font=veranda]OOC: *pokes* Yesh, I live, but I won?t post often.

IC: Cassie smiled sleepily. Connor?s arm was wrapped gently around her waist, and his body was firm and warm against hers. Their knees were bent, locked together. Cassie whispered, before Connor fell asleep, ?Love you??

~Dream~

Cassie dribbled the basketball down the court, and passed to a girl on her left. ?Shoot it, Maddison!? The brunette shot the ball, and it flew into the hoop. ?Yes!? The two highfived as the buzzer went off. Their team had won.

Cassie smiled at her team mates, and then looked over at the bleachers. A boy looked back at her. He was about 10, but very short and skinny. His dark blue eyes and sandy blonde hair stood out in the crowd. She ran over to him. ?Did you see the goal I scored for you, Mikey?? The younger boy hugged her tightly. ?Thanks, Cocoa.? The boys parents watched them, smiling.

?Cassie, we really appreciate what you?re doing for Mike.? The blonde smiled. ?Aw, its nothing. He?s a really cool kid.?

A day later, Cassie was at school. A teacher took her aside, and told her. The girl was devastated. Mikey had been killed by a drunk driver, on the way to school with his mom. His mom was in the hospital. Cassie watched the scene play over and over in her head, the tires screeching on the pavement, the screams of the young boy and his mother, and the limp bodies. She watched the accident on the news, and now it stayed with her forever.

~End~

Cassie woke with a gasp, and her body was shaking. She had broken out in cold sweat. ?No?? She curled up tighter, and Connor woke halfway to hug her reassuringly. She snuggled down next to him again, but couldn?t sleep.[/color][/font]

[Ezekiel]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Green]Beth groaned and nursed her sore knuckles, giving Aria a fitful glare from across the table. The brunette just smirked and pulled tongues, waving her spoon threateningly in font of Beth's face.
Finally, Drake came downstairs with a few others in tow, everyone took a look at Aria and Kim and started blushing, even the girls. Beth shrugged,
[B]"Might as well get used to it..."[/B] she smirked, [B]"Just keep behind her, Aria's bum isn't much to look at."[/B]

A loud *thunk* was heard as a wooden spatula was brought down at dangerous speed onto Beth's head. She went cross-eyed for a few seconds before slipping off her chair, landing in a very uncomfortable position on the floor.

Everyone stared and Aria dropped the spatula, kneeling down next to Beth,

[B]"Hey, Beth...Beth, stop acting stupid...come on, honey...wake up..."[/B]

Beth groaned and her eyes flickered open, seeing Aria leaning over her she twitched and brought a hand to her forehead...just before she pounced on Aria, knocking her backwards into the fridge.

TJ stared, [B]"I wasn?t expecting this so early in the morning..."[/B][/COLOR]

[B]OOC TAG! Legacy! *knows that she will have her ass handed to her*[/B][/SIZE]

[Talon]

[color=royalblue][i]Aria went crosseyes as Beth playfully tickled her on the stomach mercilessly.[/i]

"That's whatcha get for whappin' my head!"

[i]Aria growled happily and turned the tables, tickling Beth back wildly.[/i] "Payback's a bitch, Beth! Who says my ass ain't good enough to stare at?!" [i]With that, Aria stood up and bent over, slapping her ass and nearly giving most of the people at the table, Kim included, a nosebleed. Smirking at her accomplishment, she then crossed her arms under her breasts and looked at Beth, who rose magnificently to the challenge, stripping her own clothes off and doing the same as Aria.[/i]

"My ass is better looking than yours, babe. And I bet I kiss better to boot!"

[i]Drake looked on the verge of fainting, and Aria glared playfully.[/i] "Care to take me up on that, Beth?"

[i]Beth refused to back down, grabbing Kim and kissing her deeply. Aria looked at the dazed look in Kim's eyes and did the same, leaving Kim very, very dazed indeed.[/i][/color]

[b]Tag, Albel![/b]

[Muad'Dib]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]OOC: I know tou tagged Albel, but I'm not gonna interfere with that too much.
~~~

Connor eased back into reality, relaxed by the steady beat of Cassie's heart. He was again nearly shocked at how cute the girl was asleep. He eased himself up on his hands, careful not to wake Cassie. He debated with himself silently wether or not to get up. She was so warm...

Connor found his face growing closer to Cassie's, and stopped himself before waking her. He swallowed and took a breath before kissing her gently on the cheek instead. Sighing quietly, Connor relunctantly untangled himself from Cassie and stepped down onto the floor.

Immediately, he leaned over Cassie and made sure she was comfortable. He took one last look at her sleeping form before grabbing his glasses and easing the door open quietly. He was just thinking of going back to Cassie when he was greeted by the scent of breakfast.

Connor walked downstairs barefooted, wandering towards the kitchen. He was just in time to see a dazed Kim and the competitive looking Aria and Beth. The fact that all three of them were naked added to the oddity of the scene. He blinked a few times and knew he must of missed something.

Aria and Beth continued their warped competition as Connor walked to the table and sat down in a daze. Kim turned back to the table, a surprised look still on her face. After regaining her composure, she noticed Connor was there and giggled slightly. Connor noticed and glanced over, questioning. Kim just looked away and hid more giggeling. Still confused, Connor looked forward again and wondered if Trey had told them something about him and Cassie.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[Lilt]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue][b]OOC: Same here, Kyuai. I'm just letting everyone know what Kim's thoughts are on all of this.[/b][/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]Even though she was giggling, Kim, like everyone else in the room, was shocked. Shocked and blushing uncontrollably. She couldn't believe Beth had just stripped in front of everyone. But a look at her naked body was enough to make Kim know she didn't imagine it. Although she saw Beth nude once before, Kim never really paid attention to her. Now, she couldn't help but stare at Beth's beautiful body. Especially at her breasts that were lifted up by her arms, just like Aria's were.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]But as if what Beth did first wasn't shocking enough, Kim was really surprised when she was kissed by first Beth and then Aria. Kim started blushing again, and looked over at Drake who seemed to be in more of a shock than she was. She didn't know what would be worse. Drake getting mad for letting Beth kiss her, or having to decide who had the better body or who was the better kisser.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=royalblue]While watching the two girls arguing, Kim pushed her food around with her fork. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about the wonderful breakfast that Aria had made for all of them. Instead, they were all caught up in watching Aria and Beth compare each other's bodies. Kim knew she was either going to have to judge them soon, Drake was going to get mad at her, or both.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#4169e1]Connor leaned over to Kim, and whispering, he asked her what was going on and why she, Beth, and Aria were naked.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#4169e1][b]"Well, remember how Aria made that deal to walk around nude in the mornings?"[/b][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#4169e1]Remembering the contest, Connor nodded his head.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#4169e1][b]"Well that's why she's naked. And I'm just naked because she is, and Beth took off her clothes to prove that she has a better looking body than Aria. Oh, and they also had to prove who was the better kisser."[/b][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=#4169e1]Connor was about to ask how they tried to find out who was the better kisser, but he didn't have to ask because he watched as Kim touched her lips as she watched Aria and Beth. Kim didn't notice, but Connor had a relieved look on his face for some reason.[/color][/size][/font]
