Into the Dreams - *Literate RP* (Open and Accepting)

[Cuwen]

Reed practically dropped the dish she had been washing in the sink below her when she heard Akira's question. She was using that same tone that she had at lunch earlier that day, when she had caught Reed staring at Mr. Coltaire. So she must have caught on to Reed's excitement at the possibility of Mr. Coltaire becoming a 4H leader. But she could play this off.... right?

Making sure she kept washing the dish in her hands like nothing had happened, Reed forced a smile on her face and nodded. "Oh I am. I'm very excited. As soon as we're done here, we get to go out to the barn and play with our new goats!"

[Heaven91]

Akira had to force herself not to burst out in laughter when her older sis suddenly dropped the plate back into the sink, a look of shock on her face. Then thinking quickly, like she always did in these situations, forced a smile on her face and pretented to be extra excited to go play with the baby animals. Well of course they were, but that wasn't all that was causing Reed's joy.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk...You DO know this is me your trying to fool, right?" Answered the brunnet.

[Cuwen]

Reed smirked and nodded. "And you do know you're supposed to play along, right?"

Oh to hell with it. This was her sister. She knew her sister would never blab to anyone else about what Reed told her if Reed asked her not to. And Reed had never really 'girl-talked' with Akira about boys before. Might as well try it now.

A dreamy expression easily fell into place on Reed's face and she now had a distant look in her eyes. "Akira, he's just so... nice! Mr. Coltaire is so nice and so funny. He's got a sense of humor like Dad's. And he's so handsome. You saw him at lunch today! Isn't he so handsome?"

[Heaven91]

Akira placed the last of the dishes where they belonged and walked over to Reed and smiled warmly, as she clapped her hands together.

"Awww!! My older sister has finally fallen love sick!" then a small frown fell onto her face.

"Hold up...How old exactly is he now?"

[Cuwen]

((Ah dang! Mitsuki would have to answer this one. lol!! Mitsuki, when you know how old you want Foster to be, just let me know and I'll fill in my blank below. smile ))

Reed shook her head and couldn't help but giggle as she drained the sink of the soapy water and dried her hands on a towel on the counter. She then put the towel back on the towel rack hanging from one of the drawers.

"I'm not in love... yet. The other person actually has to return your feelings in order to be in love, and I don't even know him that well."

She figured her sister would eventually ask the age question. Reed had thought about it herself. But heck! He was the only male in her school who matched her maturity and intellectual level! That wasn't her being egotistical. It was a proven fact that women matured much faster than men at their same age did.

"He's... ____. And I know what you're thinking, but he's so much more mature than any of the other boys in our school!"

She then sighed and shrugged her shoulders as a frown appeared on her face. "It doesn't matter, though. Nothing will happen. I'm not foolish. I know he'll think he's too old for me and just sees me as another student."

And with that, Blake had reached a great stopping point. The guy was just about to land the killing blow on this vampire named Chaos. He had to stop there though, because his eyes were starting to really bother him. They were losing focus too often, as if he was being drawn in to the book. That meant it was time for a stop, definitely.

He closed the book and looked around, and immediately shut his eyes again. Woah. He shook his head as though he couldn't believe what he saw, and slowly opened his eyes again. Nothing. Well, that was strange. For a second, he swore he saw a bunch of scribbles all over the room... Kinda like the main character in the book he was reading. Yeah, he definitely spent WAY too much time reading today.

Rose gently closed her book as she felt that she had read far too much in one day. She didn't really feel like finishing the entire book already. "I am guessing that school should have been over already..." she murmured to herself as she glanced at the clock. She couldn't have been able to go since she had been feeling awfully sick and bed-ridden. Luckily, Rose had been taking care of herself and by drinking lots of herbal tea, she managed to feel better in no time at all. Rose glanced outside and smiled as she thought a nice walk outside would do very well for her. Getting out of her house and locking the door, she began walking through the windy breeze and glance around at the cute small animals scurrying around the grass.

((Sorry for delaying, got really sick and I couldn't post at a better time! >.< Forgive me~!))

[Heaven91]

Akira nodded, but didn't look quite sure, and the frown never left her face.

"Okay, if you say so...But i dunno Reed, you know in all those stories and manga, how the hot teachers fall in love with the beautiful students and...Stuff happens!! I really don't want you getting involved in that kind of stuff!!!" she said, waving her hands up and down in exageration to prouve her point.

[Heaven91]

((Kagome!! *tackles/hugs* it's okay, i'm still sick too, so your good lol, nice post btw! And wait a sec, your not suppose to be sick ><!!!))

[Kessaria Aurora]

((Thanks~! Oh and I'm sorry... T.T I didn't mean to get sick, it just happened.))

[Cuwen]

((Hi, Kagome!! It's good to have you here! biggrin ))

Reed smiled out the window above the sink and wished with everything in her being that things could be they were in magnas and books, where teachers and faculty members could and might fall in love with their students if both wanted to. If love was really involved.

[Heaven91]

((No, no, i know getting sick isn't your fault or anything...Evil sickness!!! >< Well, we will just have to get better at the same time then lol))

Akira snapped her fingers infront of her older sister's face lightly.

"Hey, hey, hey! No day dreaming about crazy loves just yet, Reed! We gotta go take care of our little babies!!!" her little sister reminded her, before dashing to the hallway, throwing on her shoes, and rushing out the door towards the barn.

[Cuwen]

Akira's snapping brought her out of her reverie, and when she heard what she said, excitement sparked in her eyes again and she raced right after her sister. She threw on her boots, ran out to the barn, threw on her coveralls, and then leaned down by her goat.

"Hi, goat! I need to think up a name for you! Something to go with Spider.... Hmmmm.."

[Heaven91]

((Biiiiggg post to make up for not posting sooner lol, i needed my book.))

After a little while of playing around with Yume, Akira walked over to a shielf (the girls had begged their father to build one, where they could put all their favorites books, after all, reading where there was a lot of fresh hay and being around all the animals was very relaxing, especially since their house was so hectic most of the time!) and scanned the books carefully for the one she had yet to finish. The brunnet had decided too kill two birds with one stone. How? Simple! Find the book and read outloud to the baby goat! That would calm them both, help Yumi fall asleep, and she'd be getting farther into the story!

"Ah ha! There you are! Okay Yumi, I found the book!" Akira called out to her baby goat as she walked back to her. Once the teenager sat down, Yumi ran over, sat down next to the girl, and poked her nose at the book curiously.

Akira giggled and storked the baby animal's fur. "It's not to eat silly, i'm going to read to you, so just listen, okay?"

Seeming to understand, Yumi rested her chin on the girl's lap, relaxing and ready to listen.

Fingertips lightly brushed the hard cover of "The Magician, the secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel" This was the second book of the series and Akira was almost done.

She flipped through the pages until she found where she was and started to read ((Skip this part if you ever want to read this book lol)),

"Flamel shrugged slightly. "Who knows knows? Dee has always been very persuasive, and Machiavelli is a master manipulator. But we can find them, I'm sure of it. Your sences have been awakened, Sophie. Look again; imagine Josh standing in front of you, see him...."

Sophie took a deep breath and closed her eyes, then opened them again. She could see nothing out of the ordinary; she was standing in a dirty trash-strewn alley, the walls covered with curling ornate graffiti, with the smoke of theburning car whirling around her.

"His aura is gold," Flamel continued. "Dee's is yellow...Machiavelli's gray or dirty white..."

Sophie started to shake her head. "I can't see anything," she began.

"Then let me help you." Nicholas put his hands on her shoulder and suddenly the stink of the burning car was replaced with the fresh sharp smell of mint. Instantly, her aura flared around her body, crackling and spitting like fireworks, the pure silver now tinged with the emerald green of Flame's aura.

And then she saw...something.

Directly in front of her she could make out the merest hint of Josh's outline. It was ghostly and insubstantial, composed of little more than threads and sparkling dust motes of gold, and when he moved he trailed streaked lines of gossamer color in the air behind him. Now she knew what she was looking for, she could also make out the traces of Dee's and Machiavelli's outlines in the air."

Akira closed the book, which made a small thup sound, because her little animal was fast asleep, curled up in a little ball next to her. Smiling, the teenager got up slowly, fetched a blanket, and placed it over the sleeping creature.

She looked over to her sister and her eyes widened as she swore she was a beautiful blue light ((guessing on the color here lol)) enveloped around Reed, sparking softly, a trail of the same color light flowed and followed her from the entrance of the barn. Akira stared for a moment, then blinked hard. Once she opened her eyes again, the light was gone.

'Weird...Did i just see her aura???? Naaaahhh....Well maybe...Woah, i like this book so much that i'm imagining things! Freaken cool!'

((Ah, Foster is...let's go with 32.))

Foster and Micky had been talking and eating for about twenty minutes when the doorbell rang. Foster cursed mentally, having been planning to broach the subject of the bruises he'd spotted on her arms that he hadn't noticed before. Glancing at her watch, Micky sighed, got to her feet and grabbed the rest of the Chinese.

"I'll get your door, Foster. Best be gettin' home anyway, or Da's gonna throw a fit." And besides, she'd just seen her mother come out of the house next door and head towards the garden. She wanted to hurry before her mother spotted her bike.

Getting to her feet, Micky went to the door, pulled it open. When she saw Reed's father, she raised a brow, tipped her hat slightly as a greeting. Foster came up behind her, handed her a box of rice she'd forgotten with a slightly digusted look on his face until she took it from him.

"You've got company, Coltaire. I'll be seein' ya." She said, and Foster nodded, smiling in greeting at the other man. "Take care of yourself, Micky Lynn. I'll call your father, let him know you're on your way." He said, and she nodded, sending a quick glance towards the house next door before slipping past Reed's father and making a mad dash for her bike. In moments, she was speeding away, and Foster knew why when he looked over and saw Caroline Sawyer coming around the corner of the house.

Quickly he ushered the other man inside, extending his hand. "Good evening, sir." He said, wondering why he was here.
