Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jeremy blinked, then realized what must have had her confused. "Oh! Caleb must have hung up. He might be mad at me," Jeremy chuckled sheepishly, "He gets mad at me a lot. But he's a good kid, if but hard to understand sometimes. Oh, but Clara..." He knelt down to her level and gave her his kind, warm and reassuring smile. "When a big scary man comes, you might feel scared, but we can trust him, okay? I promise he won't hurt you, and I'll not let anything bad happen to you as best as I can, okay? I'll even hold your hand. Everything will be okay."

Clayton stopped when he felt her hand in his. She was so dainty. It was like she was a fragile doll, and if he squeezed too hard he'd hurt her. Yet she was asking him to stay. He turned to look at her, and she seemed so innocent and radiant. He couldn't help but smile, though it was a pretty goofy smile. It faded quickly, and he looked a little confused, and a bit angry. How dare that man try to take advantage of her. "Why did that creep go after you, anyway? This place is closed right now even, why'd he go after ya like that?"

Luca beamed with excitement. "Oh, yes! You look even more amazing than I imagined! OF course, I'd be more than happy- I actually am just coming out with the zipper line!"

"The zip- OH! You mean like those shorts-pants and shirt-sweater you showed me? Luca, that's never going to catch on." Penny sighed.

"Oh ye of little faith!" Luca cried with a grin. He pulled out a measuring tape from what seemed like nowhere and came up to Jin and without a word, measured his arms. "Penny, write this down."

"With- oh, okay one sec..." Penny rushed to the back of the cafeteria and grabbed a strip of receipt tape and a sharpie. Luca began to measure Jin's arms, legs, neck, head, waist, hips, and tail to make sure he got all the bases covered.

"What size shoe do you wear?" Luca asked in the midst of giving Penny the measurements and she wrote them down rapid-fire.

It was like a string was plucked, and Caleb had to look away and cover his face from the crazy sudden blush he got. He tried to compose himself, and it was working... Until she called him hot. Then the blush deepened, and Caleb grunted in pain. This conversation was making him feel sick. Then he heard her go into giggles, and he whipped around to look at her, blushing more out of embarrassment now, despite all this, his voice was calm. "I'm taking you to bed to go to SLEEP, and Derek is a friend of yours to guard your door, now stop talking like a perverted High school girl." He walked ahead of her to lead her to where they needed to be, Caleb scanning the area feverishly for Derek.

Jin didn't seem fazed he held out his arms and everything as the other worked. Oh he was cute wasn't he. "Size 12." he said with a chuckle. Yes the look on his face said you know what they say about men with big feet but he did not say that out loud. This clothing line he was talking about seemed perfect. The shorts did have to tailored right though he did not usually wear them. Tended not to show of his figure right. He however trusted this man to know that. "Where should we go for me to take my clothes off?" he said with a put of a purr. that was him blatantly hitting on Luca although he knew he didn't necessarily have to take his clothes off he really just wanted to see the guy's reaction.

"This conversation is over," Caleb mumbled as he continued walking down the hallway, and he then saw Derek coming the opposite way. "Derek!"

"Whoa-" Derek dropped the journal he was flipping through, and as if he would die without it, picked it back up and flipped through really quick. "Caleb! Wuh-what is it?"

"I need you to watch Phoebe as she sleeps."

"Why are you so flustered? It says here you NEVER bl-"

"You need to guard Phoebe!" Derek shouted, making Derek shut up and nod furiously.

"Kay, okay..." He looked at Phoebe and gave her a goofy, sheepish smile. "Hi! Um... Have we met before?" He started to flip through his journal again.

"Oh well you know what they say about men with big feet~" Luca replied, saying just what Jin was thinking. Luca was the sort of upfront person to say things outright. "Hm?" Luca looked confused, then he smirked. "Oh, goodness dear you don't have to strip to-... OH!" Luca suddenly blushed. "Oh you~ we only just met!"

Jeremy smiled and sighed, then hugged Clara. "That's right, be okay." He found a bench nearby and gestured to Clara for them to sit. "We have to wait for Caleb to come get us."

Clayton lowered his eyes. "REALLY?" He asked. Women were so evil. Why would they do that to someone? He almost wanted to get back at them, but he wasn't that kind of a guy. He was more of a simple farm boy type, not one for revenge... Well...

He hugged Clone close. "I ain't letting them win, Clone. Stay at work if ya want, I'll keep ya safe, capiche?" He said, being honest the whole way through. "Now, ya wanna go out on that date?"

Jin laughed a bit now playfully. "Forgive me, I should of at least bought you dinner first." he teased a bit. "So how about a date then?" he asked rather upfront himself. "If you have time." Jin was had just found his first little toy. Oh how fun, it would distract him from the faker in his midst he had become so annoyed with. He stood there waiting for the response now. "I am new here so. It would be a wonderful way to get know you and this city." he practically purred out. "You are quite fascinating I would love to get to know you better."

"Awesome! I got a lot planned for tanight!" He exclaimed, taking her out to the parking lot and showing her a nice looking but old car. "I ah... Borrowed it," Clayton said sheepishly. Technically, it belonged to a friend of his mom and dad's, but she sort of 'donated' it for this date. He opened the passenger's side to let her in. "After you," he said with a grin.

Luca gasped. "Oh my~ " he giggled and Penny gave a concerned look.

"Babe, what about Nathan?"

"Oh that stick in the mud is having too much fun trying to convince everyone he's straight. Who says I can't have a little fun huh?" He turned to Jin and beamed. "A date sounds lovely. Do you have a time and place in mind?"

"Um... I'm... Sorry, actually this journal is my short term memory, so to speak..." He looked at her sheepishly. "I can't remember anything for the most part, so I keep this to um... Remember. See?" He showed her a page with a portrait of her bust and some notes about her. 'Doesn't like to be reminded of her age, loves reading, can often be found at the library, Light dean of Academy, niece of Jeremy Hughes, dating best friends with Caleb Graves (see previous page).'

There was a lot of other stuff on her, and she seemed to go a few pages, and it was tediously detailed. He then turned a page and pointed to something. "But... It says you're deceased."

"That information is outdated, Derek. She's alive, as you can see."

"The 'deceased' word is crossed out and erased a lot on this page... Does she die a lot?"

"Unfortunately," Caleb muttered. "You can ask more questions when I'm not here. The longer I take to get that idiot Hughes, the more likely he is to get himself in trouble." Caleb took them to Phoebe's room, and he stood aside to let the two of them in.

Clone looked at the car then smiled happily at Clayton with a giggle, "Thank you~" She said before climbing into the passenger's seat of the car. She couldn't wait to see where they were going to go. Yet she also felt nervous. She had never been on a date before...So she would have no idea if she'd do something wrong or right. Though, she was pretty sure Clayton would let her know...hopefully. Another concern was that black-out side of his... What would Grizzler think of him once he found out about it? Maybe she could keep it a secrete...?
