Welcome to Gaia! ::

She growled and whined at the same time, but pressed the play button. The menu disappeared and the same blue screened logo appeared, with some flowing but attention grabbing music to announce 'yes, we made this movie, now enjoy how amazing it is'. Nyx looked at the television, and then at Mau, and then back at the television, and then back to Mau. "... It's. Um... Beaker's? No! Damn it!" Why did she say Beaker!? She was the last being on the entire planet who would watch a princess movie!

"I'm not telling!" Nyx gave up and crossed her arms, turning her back towards Mau. All else had failed, so pouting would have to suffice. What was there to be embarrassed about? It wasn't like she'd accidentally put in one of 'those' movies... Even though that probably would have been less embarrassing.

Nyx blushed furiously, which was only exacerbated when she turned back around and noticed that Mau wasn't wearing a shirt. That wasn't fair, why did lacking a thin layer of cotton fibers cause her ears to burn? Even more importantly, why did he have to laugh at her?

"...No..." She squeaked out. Nyx needed to stop trying to lie, everyone knew she was a horrible liar. No. She wasn't lying; It wasn't like she tried to buy the frilliest, poofiest, pinkest dress in the dress shop for the dance. (She did.) She tried to pout harder, intent on becoming a being of pure poutiness.

Endearing? Nyx clutched the pillow to her chest, burried part of her face in it, and folded her legs under herself. "... I knew you were a girl." She muttered from behind the pillow. Despite all of her protests and embarrassment, she watched the movie attentively, her eyes brightening up whenever the prince appeared on screen.

It was a cheesy story about a girl put under a spell, an evil witch, fairy godmothers, and a prince, but it was a story that Nyx greatly enjoyed.

"What in the three spirit's great uncle's rusty wire toothbrush is that?!" Nyx shouted and threw her pillow up into the air, startled by the sudden appearance of some tiny monster, and the interruption of the most engaging and suspenseful part of the movie.

Nyx had spazzed her way to sitting right up next to Mau in an attempt to escape whatever it was that the television had birthed to haunt her nightmares.

"What..." Nyx's face scrunched up into one of terror and confusion. "What just happened?" The monster looked like a chingling... sort of. But more frightening and loud. She had yet to notice how close she was to Mau, or that she had wrapped her arms around him and pinned his arms down.

"Is it dead? What is it?" Nyx was unconcerned with the pillow travesty she had committed upon Aki. "Why is it so loud?"

"... I-" Nyx stared at the terrible thing laying there, 'dead' on the floor. "It works..." Oh how she hoped it didn't get up again. She seemed frozen next to Mau, as if Uta was the biggest, hairiest, most deadly spider in the world, combined with a pikachu.

She fought the urge to grab one of the pokeballs from her belt and make it smash the tiny metal creature into smithereens, and instead, tried to continue watching the movie. Nyx didn't move, and kept looking from the television to the chingling, making anxious little noises whenever she did.

"Oh! Oh." Nyx blushed and let go of Mau and sat back in her spot, closer to Aki. That was embarrassing... She sighed and went back to watching the movie for a few minutes, her attention drawn away from the chingling by how very illogical she had been grabbing Mau like that. What was wrong with her? What was so scary about that chingling? It was just a tiny little be- "Where did it go?"

Nyx sat up straight, and looked around the room frantically, eyes wide with terror.

Nyx looked up in time to see the terrible thing hurdling towards her, instrument of death and fear ready to end the scientist's too short life. Nyx yelled and swatted at the air, though there was little hope in her heart that she would even hit the little monster. It was all over for her.
