Niko allowed the chair to fall back in its original position. He scratched the back of his lightly, contemplating what Kyoshi had said. "Well, it's not really that simple, you know? Looks aren't everything. I mean, other than the braces, I know I'm good looking. People around where I live see that and see the fact my family is pretty well off. And they want in on that. They don't really want a serious relationship."

He shrugged his shoulder casually, resting his arms on the table as though nothing he said really mattered.

Swimming is a confusing sport.
Because sometimes you do it for fun
And other times you do it to not die.
And sometimes, I don’t know which one it is.
I got to go by the outfit,
Pants? Uh-oh.
Bathing suit? Okay.
Naked? We’ll see.

The female scampered down the stairs hurriedly and just three steps from the bottom fell face-first to the floor. Her face connecting with the hard but carpeted floor of the bus, she cried in pain, "Ouchie momma." Picking herself up from being sprawled about both the floor and stairs to an Indian-style sitting position, Roxxie returned her beeline to the driver's seat. She hoped no one was left outside because she took a quick bathroom break. Her nose hurt a bit, but thankfully it wasn't bleeding, and her hands and knees stung a tad as well. But once she arrived, the door was already opened, and a new guy had entered. "That's only half of the sandwich, where's the other?" She wondered.

Deciding not to close the door until he showed up and entered, the redhead plopped down into the now familiar seat and swiped up her teddy from the floor. She hugged him momentarily and sat him in her lap, speaking fondly of it, "Hiya Pooh. Sorry for tossing you on the floor when the stars were awake and I was all in lalaland. I looove youu!" She sangsong the last sentence, hoping that'd make up for her mistake with the bear.

Vanessa sat on the swing, not caring enough to swing back and forth. Her feet kept the swing from moving, and her hands were loosely hanging onto the chains. Swinging was not as fun when nobody was doing it with her. She sang softly to herself as she sat there. Part of her wanted to go find the others, but part of her liked the quietness of the park.

[[laaaaame. XD]]

Tell me who should I be
To make you love me?
Tell me what does it mean to be alone?
Can’t you see me standing, staring,
Out from a distance?
Hear my cry if you’d only listen.

♥But with every word, you're getting closer to hell, jester.♥

A black haired young man sat on a bench, sketchbook in hand and drawing pencils resting neatly beside him. The shade of the tree was comforting upon Nairi's skin, cool and it helped him a little to avoid the heat that was being emitted by the sun. The sketchbook's page was nearly full, take and give the corners and sides of the paper. With a few quick and deliberate strokes of his pencil a wind tousled clump of hair emerged, and with a bit of shading, it looked satisfactory. He sat up straighter, surveying his work. It was good, he had to admit. He felt a surge of pride as he examined it. But he was becoming bored with this drawing. The boy didn't know how to describe it, but it simply wasn't holding his attention. He had been working on it that day only and already he was tired of it. Flipping to a clean page, Nairi looked around for inspiration. And sitting upon a swing's seat, was exactly what he was looking for.

He had began the drawing taking his time, but shortly after the start of it his hands picked up pencils, tossed them aside, erased all in a rapid manner. The boy was really getting into it, trying to capture the look of pure serenity upon the girl's face. The more he studied her expression, the more it seemed as if she was smiling faintly, and for some reason, it felt as if he knew that expression. Her lips moved, causing the boy to think she was singing to herself. That, or talking to herself. But Nairi continued on in his drawing frenzy, only looking at bits and pieces of her at once. In only a short time, the portrait was done. Placing aside his sketchbook on the wooden bench, the blue eyed male rested his chin in his palm and studied his model. The dark haired girl was still singing, but he had no idea what she was. He watched her lips, in an almost desperate attempt of curiosity. It was to no prevail though, the words weren't exactly recognizable coming from her mouth. He couldn't hear her either, so that wasn't going to help him. The thought ran across his mind, 'Why am I focusing so hard on one girl? She's not even of importance, just some Missouri chick.' But just as this thought occurred to him, he looked more closely at his drawing, then at the girl. He couldn't believe he didn't catch it earlier. It wasn't some Missouri chick. It was her, it was none other than Vanessa Sanchez.

Panic flew through him, he slammed his sketchbook closed. She couldn't see this, it was ridiculous. She might get the wrong idea, like he actually liked her. That was nonsense, only nonsense. But even yet, the boy ran a hand through his hair wondering how she would react. Shaking this thought out of his head, Nairi scooped up his pencils and pad and walked towards the bus. 'God, this is becoming one ******** up vacation.' He thought. With that, he picked up the pace and continued jogging towards the bus.

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me
There's something going wrong around here

A young man walked slowly down the street. He was wearing a pair of slightly tight and rather worn black jeans with a studded belt holding them up, a black T-shirt that had a rampaging Japanese robot on it, and a pair of black worn converse. A hiking backpack was strapped to his back, along with a small overnight duffel across his shoulder. This boy's name was Tommy Starr, and he looked like he was running away from life. This idea was wrong, however. Tommy Starr was not running away from life. Rather, he was going on vacation. Lifting his head and tossing it to get the hair out of his eyes, he spotted a large doule-decker bus stopped randomly on a street corner. Grinning, he jogged toward it and skidded to a halt in front of the open door. Excitedly, he started up the steps only to trip on the last one and fall on his face on the hard carpeted floor of the bus. This was typical. Tommy wasn't necessarily klutzy, he just didn't pay attention well. "Well that was most deff the stupidest stunt I pulled all day." Grunting, he pushed himself up and crawled up the last step, shoving his bags off and rolling onto his back. He shut his eyes and rubbed his face. Man, he was tired. Getting up only two hours earlier had been a pain. Usually he was still asleep right now.


When i reminisce ignorance was bliss,
Back in the days where the magic exist
Never be the same as it was, 'cuz the way it was
Just another day in the maze of a myth
Had a lot of fun living life on the run,
Never had a chance to pause to get a better glance
Everything was free and everything was fast
Never even thought it wouldn't last

The twenty year old female giggled in surprise. A new boy had entered the bus, doing just as she had only moments before but up the stairs. Roxxie jumped to her feet and skipped towards the door, hand planted firmly on the stair rail to prevent her from falling. After all, she didn't want to tumble on him or hurt him. The cheery redhead went on the tips of her toes and looked directly down at him, exclaiming, "Welcome aboard, duckie. Anyhoo, I did that a few secs a go, so don't worry 'bout it. Here you go, he helps once you've gone bam! hello floor." Roxanne turned Pooh around before tossing it to the new boy, and told him very sternly, "Be nice, Pooh. Don't bite, otherwise no honey for you later. I mean it. Niiice."After her quick talk with the teddy, she dropped it on Tommy with a grin.

Tommy lifted his head to look at the teddy bear who had just been dropped on him. Carefully, he picked it up with both hands and held it above his face. "Well hey there Pooh. You gonna help me up or you gonna gimme the cuddlies?" Tommy laughed and hugged the bear, sitting up. After a few seconds, he pushed himself into a standing position and conked the side of his head on a luggage rack. Stumbling sideways, he fell over into the petite redhead who'd just given him her teddy bear. Being as tall as he was, he knocked the poor girl over, lost his balance, and fell backwards, hitting his arm on the stairs railing on the way down. His head landed on the girl's stomach. Grinning sheepishly, he held the bear out to her. "Here's Pooh, miss. Sorry for bein' clumsy. My name's Tommy."

Roxxie stared at Tommy for a moment, trying to understand what had just occurred. She broke out in a fit of giggles and brought her bear closer to her and poked the boy's head. "You're silly. And using my tummy as a pillow. I'ma Roxanne, but don't call me that. It's too suit and tie like for me, so Roxxie or Annie will do." Brushing her curls behind her ears, the girl's mouth slid into a happy smile. Today was turning out decent. Getting her first good look at Tommy, she saw that he had two piercings, and was not in the least bad looking. Bringing Pooh closer, she introduced him as well. "You've already met my teddy, Pooh. He's your crash partner." She laughed.

Samson Searle breathed in deeply. Finally. That was the only thing he could think of, that one word, 'finally'. He missed being outside more than he remembered. The fresh scent of grass and other greenery filled his nose and he couldn't help but grin. He turned to his blond companion, and said with excitement, "Don't you miss this? Summer days, sun, grass, everything?" He realized he sounded a bit stupid, even geeky, but he couldn't help it. Days on end with only brief stops in between stuck in the car, it was a bit too much for outdoorsy Sammy.

He was a bit surprised at the redhead driver, she only stopped driving to fill up gas and sleep. She drove for a good portion of the night and got up early in the morning, leaving no room for him to sneak out and play. But they were outside now, that's what mattered. 'Why are we going so fast anyways, to Jersey? True, I haven't seen them in about a year, but still.' Sam wondered suspiciously. Deciding it was nothing, not even recalling the obvious that a certain someone's birthday was fast approaching, Sam continued surveying the park.

Vanessa rose from her spot on the swing and made her way towards the bus. She passed Nairi. "Hey boy," she said, giving him a wave and going up the stairs. She returned a moment later with a blue acoustic Epiphone guitar. The girl made no explanation to the male with the notebook about her having a guitar nor did she bother to mention that she was rather gifted at playing it. Instead, she opted to go back outside.

There was a small area of grass just outside the bus, and that was where Vanessa decided to sit and play her guitar. She took a few moments to make sure the guitar was in tune and began to play. Her fingers picked the strings effortlessly. The opening to All You Wanted began to play. A few moments, later the girl began to sing.

"If you want to, I can save you. I can take away from here. So lonely inside, so busy out there. And all you wanted was somebody who cares."

Tell me who should I be
To make you love me?

♥But with every word, you're getting closer to hell, jester.♥

Nairi stiffened as she went passed him. He couldn't help it. He admitted to himself, he would rather eat something gross before he let her see the sketchpad. No one saw them. But as she passed him again, guitar in hand this time, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks and watch her. Nessa seemed so in control of her life, something he had often longed for. But once she played and got to the chorus, he couldn't stay there, just watching her. The Armenian mix felt like he was watching something he shouldn't have seen, something very personal and private. The chords and her voice intertwining together's effect was unexpected. She was good, if not talented. The Dadian's only son wandered in the bus, stepping over Roxanne and a boy. He raised his eyes at the sight of the childish female having a boy on top of her, but by a few days of observing her nature, he knew that the boy wasn't there to get some. And if he was, he wasn't going to, at least not with that girl. She had the mind of a ten year old, with some other knowledge, but still, fairly innocent.

Nairi didn't stop to converse with anyone, especially not with that English boy, and simply made his way to the upstairs bathroom. He locked the door behind him and sat on the counter top. Flipping his pad open to Nessa's drawing, he studied it. It was good, but lacking something. He pulled out a white pencil and added in shine marks in the girl's hair and added shading and firmer lines. All he knew was he wanted to do her justice, even if he didn't like her. In his skinny script, he wrote in small letters in the right hand corner, "Songstress on Swing". And underneath that, he signed his name and dated it. He sighed, and spoke softly aloud, "I don't know if you can, Ness."

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me

Ian wandered around the park. "I miss the ocean, but this is nice too. After all, you're here," he stated, walking towards a swing and sitting in it. He used his feet to push himself and stared happily towards the sky. His mind was a thousand places all at once. What if we don't get there on time? We will. Roxxie can speed. She'll get us there. I trust her. But what if the party doesn't go like I want it? The blond shook his head, deciding to shove such nonsensical thoughts away from his brain. There would be time to worry later. For now, he would just be happy with his boyfriend.

"Swing with me," grinned the blond, dragging the sentence out much like a small child.

There’s no turning back for us tonight.
Lace up your shoes, here’s how we do.
Run baby, run. Don’t ever look back.
They’ll tear us apart if you give them the chance.
Don’t sell your heart, Don’t say we’re not meant to be.
Run baby run.
Forever, we’ll be you and me.

Tommy grinned and sat up, folding his legs Indian style, propping his elbows on his knees, and propping his chin up in his hands. Snaking one hand out, he poked the teddy bear, Pooh, with one finger. "Pooh's a nice guy. Roxxie's a nice girl. Tommy's a clumsy guy. Whee." With that, he swung his arms up and flopped backwards onto the carpet of the bus again. He wasn't quite sure why, but he was suddenly hyper. Maybe it was the fact that he'd landed on some girl and she hadn't slapped him for it. Or maybe the fact that she was rather gorgeous was what made him hyper. Either way, the only Starr child closed his eyes, grinned stupidly, and stretched out. "So Foxy Roxxie, what's our next stop? Gimme the shmooze." He yawned slightly and relaxed against the rough carpet again.

Kyoshi nodded with complete understanding. "Yeah, I know what you mean. People see me, like the look, and wanna get close. But they never last long, really. They're just in it to 'see the sights' so to speak." Kyoshi shrugged himself, sort of confused with what he himself had just said. A little jitter in the back of his head asked where Ian was, but Kyoshi shoved that back. No point in trying to bug his friend. Ian was probably with his boyfriend right now, and that was just peachy with Kyoshi. "The last serious relationship I had didn't even last that long, and that was four years ago at least." He sighed slightly. The short-lived relationship with Ian had been disappointing and disheartening, but Kyoshi had put it behind him this year. No point lingering on the past.

I've become tired
Of Wasting my time
Thinkin' about choices
That I've made
Cause I can't move forward
While looking behind
The only thing I can do now is change the way

Jin felt Dominique's fingers lacing with her own. It was a nice feeling. It was an even nicer feeling knowing that she wouldn't be alone on the trip. His lips against her was a nice feeling in itself. However, Dominique broke the kiss a few moments later. His thoughts must have wandered off in the same direction as hers had. Jin smiled at him, sliding her hand out from under his and hugging the boy tightly. She pulled herself into the boy's lap facing him and smiled at him. "I know you wouldn't," the girl finally replied, "I trust you, dear." She rested her forehead against his with a smile and ran her fingers through his hair.

”Looking at you, holding my breath.
For once in my life, I‘m scared to death
Of taking a chance, letting you in.
Feeling alive, all over again.
As deep as the scars under my skin.
Like being in love, she said, for the first time.
Well, maybe I‘m wrong, I‘m feeling right
Where I belong with you tonight.
Like being in love to feel for the first time.”
