She nodded gently and her gaze fell away as she directed her ocean eyes to the kiddie pool in the back. Alright.. heh, I'm hoping that I won't hurt any of the baby turtles. Her optics rose to the Jamaican woman as she gingerly lifted the bloated bag in her hands, and directed it towards her. "Um, I'll be going first, but could you hold Adora and Arable for me?" The turtle woman nodded her head and her hazel eyes grinned almost a bit mischievously at Lenair as she handed her fish over. The water within the bag churned, but was soon stilled when the woman's green hands cradled the bag protectively. Arable and Adora gazed outwardly at the new green foliage that blended with the elastic bag, as they almost mistook it for food.
As Lenair looked to her side, she noticed a small door that had a latch over it. The pale fingers of her right hand laid along the sliding door as she unhooked the latch, and then budged her way through. The turtle woman moved to the side as she gestured towards a bit of open space near the kiddie pool. "You can leave you shoes there," she said while gesticulating. "But over to your right, you'll find a blindfold. It's a slip-on, so no tying is involved." The woman's hold upon the bag never weakened or became very constricting, she appeared very aware of the comfort or discomfort of the fish. Lenair nodded towards her as she gently bent down, and began to unlace her obsidian boots. When she was able to loosen her boots, she slipped them off and set them off to one of the dry sides along the kiddie pool. Her feet were left blanketed by black stockings as she traipsed over the soft ground, and plucked the blindfold from its holding place.
From there, she returned to the kiddie pool, and carefully stepped into the cool waters, while remaining watchful of the lively turtles. Hhmm... this isn't so bad, and the water isn't too cold. As she situated herself in the kiddie pool, with the water up to her calves, she then looped the blindfold around her eyes. After blinding herself, she stood for a while, listening to the gentle pattering against the water. But such was made a bit difficult as the contagious music continued to play in the background. Ah well... I might as well take a gamble. Nevetheless, she bent downward, dipping her skirt partially into the water as her hands rummaged through it for a baby turtle. Many of the infants had swum away as her skirt touched the water. She began to gently pace about, and the turtle woman watched closely, with an omniscient grin upon her face.
"Here baby turtle..." Lenair gently murmured, almost as if to soothe the young sea creatures. Her beginning tries failed miserably as the turtles either avoided her pale hands or swam right away from her grasp. She narrowly plummeted into the pool as she accidentally slipped and fell down to her knees. She giggled though, knowing that the turtles had fled behind her. She stood, dripping with water as she ran her hands gently along the area behind her. There, her pale fingers ran along a gentle shell. And with that stimulus, she lightly grasped the baby turtle as it began to struggle somewhat. "Aaww, it's alright, I won't hurt you. Heh, I can't even see you." Her voice was gentle and ingenuous as she stood in an erect position, and held the turtle near her chest.
She balanced it within one hand as she slipped the blindfold from over her eyes, and took her first glance at the baby turtle. It appeared extremely fidgety within her hand, especially as she stepped out of the pool and stood upon the floor mat. The reptile gazed at her, with fearful curiosity within its murky eyes as her eyes examined it gently. She cooed as she eased her feet along the mat, as though trying to dry her stockings. Her skirt dripped with water, but she didn't seem to care as she stared at the baby turtle. "Hey Kaji, you can try this out as well," she called to her friend, as she held out the blindfold, awaiting her entrance into the booth. But her eyes never left the turtle, but it was clearly not out of disrespect, just childish wonder.

Poppys head just rested ontop of the wooden slab of her stall. She just left it there,her next stretched a bit but she didn't care.She was kneeling on the ground,her long white skirt folded over itself,since it was so long.She was exhusted,she wanted food,a drink,sleep,but most of all...money.
The reason why is because supporting two andriods isn't all that easy.They need lots of energy,to upgrade them,and everything else,it raised the eletricity bill,and also she needed to pay for her food,books,manga,and the monthly fee to stay at Ria High. She hadn't gotten any money from her tribe since her Master...her Master..dumped her. Since he was the one to actually put the money in the envelope,and mail it to Poppy.
But Poppy needs to get money...or Bloom-sama,and Louisie-chan won't be able to work anymore.And Poppy couldn't even work if they shut down..Poppy would break again.. She closed her eyes sadly with this thought,her long lashes curled against her skin.
((heh..yes..Poppy looks up to Bloom.((the sama part)).shes so small though..she really needs to look down XD))

Ian looked around at the games going on, then noticed the small girl with the furry ears he had seen before. Poppy, yes that was her name, he scratched his head looking over at her, she looked sad, wonder why he thought. He finished wiping the pizza sauce off his furry hands and made his way towards her.

Hoshiko sat quitely at a small table-for-to staring down into her noodles. The mass of inertwined nootles, that seemed to never started right back at her, it almost looked angery." Summer fesavles where always fun as a kid.." she mumbled." What am I missing." she paused. Looked up and thought back to past years as a child.
This brought her to a memorie of a goldfish she had cought with her father one year durning the fesavel. Well, maybe she hadden cought it more of her father did but she still trestured and loved the little oragne blob. She had named it Rye and brought it home. It had died a woping 3 months later. That is the bath tub insadent was might have helped along the way to the fishies life.
Hoshiko smiled. " Thats what I need." she chirped out. " Rye." Her eyes floted up and out to the fishing game. Though she wanted to jolt up and run over in a exstasted matter. She looked down into her anygry nootles. She returned the look and ate them happly.

Oliver let go of Makie's hand as he made it to the goldfishing area, although he wasn't tired of running all the way there from the photo area. He smiled as he looked over at Makie, making sure she was A-okay.
"Hey, Makie? Are you okay?" he questioned as he had a hint of concern in his piercing blue eyes, he placed his hands on his knee's and titled his head slowly. Focussing his gaze upon Makie.
"Hey..HEY!!" Yelled a very annoyed Sakura Ai, when she finally caught up to them she placed her hands on her knee's too and tried to gasp for for breath, although her huffing and puffing was everywhere. Her eyes had this very annoyed look towards Oliver. She didn't like it when he just suddenly ran of like that.
"Hey Oliver! Who said for you to run off like that!?! You can be kidnapped or worse!?! I-I would be broken!" she said with a bit concern in her blue eyes as well, as she straightened her body, and formed a fake sweet smile.
Oliver straightened up as well, he smiled back at Sakura Ai. A reassuring smile, a promising smile.
"I promise i won't run off!" He said as he looked over at Makie.
"We should get going with catching Goldfish, we don't want them to be all gone by the time we get there!"

As Oliver let go of her small hand, she staggered a little bit, and placed one hand on her knee. She took some deep breaths, before straightened up. She gave him the thumbs up signs as she smiled.
"I'm here in one piece." She said in an almost whisper. "But... where is Sakura?" She looked back where she heard Oliver's older sister. Sakura yelled out at Oliver. She listened to her as Makie tilted her head to the side, smiling. Sakura showed a great deal of concern about Oliver.
She could understand Sakura though. If some one close to her ran off and she couldn't see him or look after him, she'd be pretty scared too. She would not want any harm to come to the ones she loved, she already experianced that feeling.
As the two siblings finished off their talk, Oliver looked at her. Makie looked up an smiled. "Yes, let's go catch us some fish!" She said as she began walked over to the pool where the gold fish are swimming. "Those fishies can't catch themselves!" She let out a small giggle.

When they went up to the stand, Sakura Ai and Oliver were quite amazed. Then again, this was there chance to have fun than to be lost and sad. Most of the time at Ria High, Sakura would be sad but she would mask it with a fake smile. God1 How she wished she could tell someone that wasn't an angel, like Lenair, about her troubles. It would make her super happy. But, she wouldn't tell Makie, Sakura would fear that her past would only bring burdens to the young girl. That would sadden her even more.
Oliver clearly ran up to the tubs filled with goldfish and grasped for a net to capture them in. He, being ignorent, started to catch them with his net but he couldn't catch one. As he brought his net up to his face he saw that the're holes in them. He gazed up to the clerk who was in control of the stand and started to fake cry.
"You meanie! You purposely drilled holes in Oliver's net to make him sad!" He cried as he ran to Sakura Ai's side, wiping his face into her dress. She kneeled down and wrapped her arms around him in a soothing way, almost like a mother would.
"There There" she said in a soft tone as she placed her hand on Oliver's head then smiled at him. Letting him know everything was A-okay. She then let her grasp go from Oliver and stood up straight, a firm slightly raging look towards the clerk. The clerk grimaced as she made her way towards him.
"How dare you make him upset!" She said as she grabbed one of the net's and looked back at Oliver and Makie. She kneeled down next to the buckets of goldfish and started to catch the gold fish but finding herself not catching them. She brought her net up to her pale face and found that she to had holes in her net.
"What the-" she said out loud, then a pure rage look went straight towards the clerk. She grabbed hold of his collar and shook him.
"What is the meaing of this! WHAT!" she said, until Oliver tapped her, he had a teary eyed look in his eyes. Like he didn't want violence to happen. Sakura Ai let go of her firm grasp and looked down at Oliver. Swiftly a smile came across her face as Oliver took out his handy dandy (alternate) net and used that.
Damn..i was almost caught.. Thought the clerk as Sakura let go of him. But his eyes widened as Oliver had his very own net and started to capture a lot of goldfish.
No! I'm ruined! He cried in his head like it was the end of the world.

Nohea just tagged along behind Sakura Ai, Oliver, and the other girl. She wasn't really paying attention, but looking around at everything else. All the excitement, all the games, the smell of pizza. It put a smile on her face. She had never been to something like this, a festival. A small grumbleing sound came from Nohea's stomach, and she placed her right hand on her tummy.
Ooh, I'm hungry.
She looked at the Pizza stand, then she looked over to Sakura Ai, Oliver and the girl, who looked like they were having fun at the fishing game.
They won't mind if I sneak away to get a slice of Pizza.
So she walked over to the Pizza stand. She sat down infront of a bar type table. A pre-teen girl came up to her,rolling on roller blades. Nohea looked a bit surpised as she stopped abruptly right infront of her. Nohea blinked twice and then gave a sweet smile. The girl smiled back,
"Hello there, my name's D.J.!! What can I getcha?" The girl said, pulling out a small notepad and pen.
"Oh, hello Ms. D.J., may I have a slice of pepperoni pizza?" Nohea replied. She had her hands on the bar, her right ontop the left, and she sat up straight for her kimono would not allow her to slouch.
D.J. tilted her head and smiled,
"But wouldn't you just love to try one of my special limited-time-only Japanese pizza?" she said with a hyper-like tone.
Nohea had no idea what this could be, 'Japanese pizza'? Isn't all pizza the same? No matter where it was from? But her curiousity took the best of her,
"I don't think I've ever tried that before. Sure! I'll have a slice."
D.J.'s face lit up when Nohea replied with a 'yes'. So she nodded and rolled off to retrieve the piece of pizza.
As Nohea sat there alone she thought about Popoki. She felt guilty for practically ignoring him at the Student Lounge. Leaning her face on her right hand and holding her other hand up infront of a small salt shaker. It started to float, not too high off the bar.
I sure hope I find him soon, and I hope he's doing ok....
Suddenly a plate was set infront of her, and she jumped slightly. The salt shaker fell onto the table as Nohea lost her consintration.
"Oh I'm so sorry." D.J. said, refering to ruining Nohea's consintration, "Your pizza's ready!"
"Oh no no, it's alright." Nohea said, waving a hand in the air, "Thank you very much for the pizza!" Nohea smiled up at D.J.
D.J. nodded and skated away to another person to take their order. Nohea looked down at her pizza. A look of slight discust came over her face as she examined the pizza. It had small peices of raw fish and fried noodles on it. It didn't look like the average pizza, and it didn't smell like it either. But Nohea didn't want to complain about it, so she picked up the pizza and took a bite, closing her eyes. She set the piece down and chewed it slowly.
Hey....this is actually pretty good! She thought
She continued to eat it, smileing because she had tried somthing new. She liked trying new things, and it made her feel victorious over somthing, even if there was no victory. As Nohea ate she looked around at the games. There was a goldfishing game, where Sakura was at, that looked quite fun. The prizes looked very pleasing, and she wanted so badly to win somthing that day. She looked over to the turtle catching game. The small turles were swimming happily in their tank, oblivious to everything happening around them and the reason why they were there. She thought they were adorable and wished she could own one.
Popoki probably wouldn't like another pet in my dorm room. He seems like he would be the jelious type.
That thought brought her back to the fact that she had lost Popoki. Nohea felt the need to find him soon. But where? Where could he be. She thought that if he was looking for her that he would have found her by now. After all, cats do have a good sense of smell, but and even better hearing sense. And if he was in the festival grounds, he would have surely found her or a friend by now.
Maybe he isn't trying to find me....
This lead her to think that maybe Popoki was feeling a bit guilty too, for scratching her. She looked down at the hand-made bandage still on her arm. It had a blood stain running in a line from the top of the bandage, which was by her elbow, to the bottom where her wrist was. This made her want to find Popoki even more.
She took the last bite of her pizza and pulled out money to pay for the pizza and a tip. Nohea set it on the table and stood up. She walked out of the pizza stand and back into the games area.
But where should I start.....perhaps I should just search the festival grounds for him. Then if I don't find him, I'll go back to my dorm. He might be waiting there..... She thought to herself as she walked through the area. She eyed the fishing game and a small plushie prized hanging above the stand. It was a furry white kitty wearing a saphire blue kimono, holding a white fan in one hand and a bag with a plastic golfish in the other hand. It was so cute, she couldn't take her eyes off it. Nohea loved all things cute, especially animals.
One game won't hurt... She thought
So she walked over to the stand and picked up a small red fishing pole. She walked over to a tank and let down the magnet. Nohea waited a bit, moving the fishing pole to different spots in the cloudy water. She pulled it up after feeling a small tug on it. On the string was a fake fish. She blinked, half expecting it to move. A blonde-haired man walked up to Nohea and grabbed the fish, he flipped it and read what was on it,
"Well well well, looks like we've got a winner." The man said. His cloths were so angelic and nice, Nohea couldn't believe he was just working the fishing stand. He looked like he belonged in Heaven, he was so handsome. The man walked over to the kitty Nohea had been admireing earlier and took it off the line it was hanging off of. He walked back over to Nohea and handed her the doll, "Here's your prize!! And, may I interest you in becomeing an Airship Pilot?"
He had asked Nohea this right out of the blue, which made her look at him with an eyebrow raised. What was an airship? She had never heard of it before. Though she was very curious about it, and it was hard to deny him, she didn't think that it would be right for her.
"U-uhm, I'm sorry, I don't think that I can. Bye!" She said, quickly walking away. The man sort of creeped her out, but atleast she got the cute doll. She hugged it tightly and then went searching around the area for any sign of Popoki.

Makie stood by Sakura Ai as Oliver went up to fish. Makie was a little unsure how it was done so she watched him do it first. After a few attempts Oliver became upset. There were holes in the paper net. Oliver started to cry as he ran to Sakura.
She comforted Oliver and then walked slowly towards the clerk. Makie smiled at Oliver. "He just doesn't want any one to catch them." She said to him softly. "He's just afraid some one can actually catch the little fishies." Then Sakura tried to catch them herself. There were holes in hers too.
'What an evil clerk! Making us fish with holes in the nets.' She thought. 'What a big meanie!' Makie then watched as Sakura grabbed the clerk's collar like she was going to do something to him. What was she goin to do? Then the upset Oliver tapped her on the shoulder. He stopped her from any violence. He took out his own net and used it to catch fish.
After he was done and caught his goldfish, Makie tried her luck with his net. She went up to the buckets where the goldfish were swimming. She kneeled down as she put the net in the water moving it around. She hummed a soft tune as she waited for one of the fishies to innocently swim into her net. Finally after just moving it around one of the goldfish moved into her net, well really Oliver's net. She asked him to use it and she got it! She had a good net and caught a cute goldfish.
She didn't know what to name it. She put the fishies that both herself and Oliver caught into bags with water in them. Makie went to other places with them, but soon it was getting late. Sakura Ai stayed with Oliver, but Makie went back to the dorms. Before she did, she wanted to thank themfor having suh a great time.
"I'm glad I met you Oliver. I mean you're really nice, and you really know how to have fun. You're preformance was great and I think you have such great sisters. You've been a wonderful friend to me and I really hope to see you again." She said in a small voice, with a little hint of sadness. "Without you I wouldn't have met both Sakura and Feena. Sakura, I've only known you for a short period of time but, I can tell that you are a nice, caring person and you won't let any one mess with the ones that are close to you."
She smiled, she finally said it. Not the full thing. She still had one thing she'd like to say, but she decided to not to say it. She turned around as she started to run. She looked back and waved at them before leaving. She held the plastic bag which held her goldfish. Today was fun and she really hoped to see them again.

Two black bulgie eyes started back at her, It wasnt like the nootles though, this new pet of her's seemed to have a blank look. Hoshiko returned the look and bit her lip. I'm making faces to a gold fish She though now pearing around her. I must look crazy.. She smiled, shruged and tryed to pretend that she wasnt making mean faces at a plastic bag holding a little orange bolb. She even hoped that no one had seen her too, and contiued on to a table where she sat and sighed once again.

Tiffany huggled her life-sized teddy bear that she won from the sniping game. Tiff felt sorry for the guy for putting him out of business, so she gave him the rest of the prizes back (except the teddy bear) which gave him some business back. Tiff was walking gleefully around the festival, and then she heard her name being called by a familiar voice. Tiff looked ahead to see Poppy calling her.
"Oh its poppy, come on lets go!!"
"Ya, lets just hope she doesnt smash us with that sledge hammer."
The two girls walked over to Poppy's stand looking around. It woulld seem Poppy hasnt got any customers lately by the looks of Poppy's expression.

Darius walked around some more wearing that kimono that he found so uncomfortable. Who told him that people wore these things? He sighed and just sat on a bench.

Lily silently looked for anyone she knew. She couldn't see very far though considering all the people that were gathered around the Pizza Place right in front of her, so she simply started pushing through the people still looking for:
A.what she should do first
B. Anyone she knew
"Exuse me, Excuse me, O I'm sorry Excuse me." Lily continued to push through the peopl hoping to get to the other side, when she ran into someone. "O I'm Sor- Hey Darius! I'm so glad I've found someone I know!" she smiled pushing her hair out of her face as she frequently does.
