Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yep! Penguin!" She waddled around a bit and tried to act like a penguin. She giggled and went back to Gabby. "I think my mom got the fruit ones from a farm..." She thought about it a bit longer. Fruits and veggies almost always comes from farms, but she wasn't sure if fake fruits and fruit costumes came from a farm too. She snapped out of thinking and grinned when asked the question. "Oh yes! That one was lots of fun! I had to go to down to the lake to find my first clue. Then I went to a room and it gave me three clues! I ended up in Kat's room looking for a puzzle cause my mom told me to look there. Ooh, the digging part was the hardest! I thought I broke a window and I hurt a tree." She remembered that she snapped a tree root in half while trying to dig for her bag of gold. "The gold? Yes! It's all different sizes and shapes and the top is fun to play with! I ate all the candy though. I keep mine in a secret place in my room also! No one, not even my mom, knows about it but me!" Vivina noticed that Gabby had told where her gold was and she started to giggle also. Way to go Gabby!

Vivina shrugged and watched Gabby wiggle around and gave up guessing what she was up to. She really must have something big planned to keep her mouth closed for this long. "Yes it is! Almost as hard as saying...Um...that one word Colin keeps saying to describe rich and powerful people...uh..meg-guh-loo-men-ah-ee-kull? I dunno, but it's hard!" She thought about the word and wondered if she said it right.

Vivina observed Gabby as she too was copying off her exercise. Well this will prove to be fun and helpful. She wondered what touching toes would do to a bird, but she shrugged and thought of this as having fun and not really exercising. "Really? Huh...I guess it has to be true..." Vivina listened to the rest of Gabby's explanation and nodded every so often. "Wow, I think my head hurts now...." She put her hand to her head and spun around and fell, giggling as she pretended to be dizzy.

Vivina giggled and looked back up and Gabby. She layed down and grinned. "Yes, we did! I bet he'll be proud of us and see how much we got better!" She closed her eyes for a bit and imagined how Gabby and she would do when they got back to class. She grinned some more and sat back up again so she wouldn't fall asleep. Wow, she didn't realize practicing would be this tiring.

"Hehehe...sometimes it's hard to keep a secret, but between friends, it's much easier!" Vivina giggled and blinked as Gabby came closer to her. She gazed into Gabby's eyes and nodded. "Yes! Of course I won't tell! It's your gold and no one should be able to know where it is!" She smiled and stuck out her pinkie. "I pinkie swear on it!" She watched Gabby fall backwards and stared as she listened to her talk. "Yes! I agree! I mean, it's so hard to write out big words with simple meanings. It confuses me and usually they're all hard to spell!" She paused to think over the riddle. Oh yes, she's been stumped by a lot of riddles in her life by Colin. Most of them were trick questions and she had to sit there for a few good minutes to get why the answer was the one Colin gave her.

"The longest word in the whole wide world? Ummm...." If the question was straightforward, then she wouldn't know since the longest word she knows is the one word from Mary Poppins. Her mom told her the longest word before, but she didn't remember it seeing as it was too long and too hard to remember in a few seconds. Vivina shook her head. No, this is a riddle, it shouldn't be that difficult of a question. She sat there thinking about it over and over again, not being able to come up with anything. Then a thought hit her. Yes, this was exactly like one part of the riddle the Sphinx asked in one of the big books her mom had. Colin had asked that to her. She thought about the riddle in a different perspective and the riddle made sense to her. Well, if this isn't the answer, then she is officially stumped. Her head hurt a bit from all the thinking, but she ignored it as she gave her answer. "If this is like a trick question, then either whole or world since they both have five letters in the word."

Vivina flopped over and stared up into the ceiling. "Hehe...They should be practicing lots during break, not like too hard and serious, but like us and having fun while practicing! It's much better that way, or so I think..." That reminded her of when she first saw the winged fox at home. Rowan was his name? He could fly with ease and do all these complicated tricks and that had inspired her to try and fly. Well, glide after learning she couldn't actually fly. He has become her flight rolemodel growing up. She sat up and turned to Gabby. Vivina smiled and thought that was a good idea. "Okies then!" She stood up and began bouncing on the cushions and spinning again. She started to hum a song also, but this song was from a random CD she was listening to when her mom wasn't around. A flute solo song was it? She shrugged gently and continued to jump and hum the catchy tune. She could feel some of the energy returning to her.

Vivina smiled and laughed. "Yay! Now no one will know where the gold is!" Now Vivina had another promise to keep locked away. Two from her brother, one from her mom, and one from Gabby. Satisfied, she giggled again. "Really? I have lots but I can never tell them unless the other person says I can. I remember all of them, but only if I think really hard." She shrugged and spun around and did a little dance.

Vivina thought her answer over and wondered if she was correct. Word games always confused her unless it was one she knew. Scrabble was a word game, but at least you can see the words. No, not like Mad Libs either, although they are Vivina's most favorite word game. The pure silliness of the story brought her into stitches as she laughed the hardest and loudest. Vivina blinked when she did hear the real answer. Oh, so that was it! Vivina could have never guessed it. Such a simple word and Vivina thought hard to find two words. "Oh, I get it! Hahahaha....that's a good one! I don't think my mom knows that one so I'll ask her later!" Nodding her head, she grinned and listened to Gabby. "Ooh, yush! Hehehe Riddles are fun!"

Vivina smiled and giggled as she bounced up and down, thinking of a reply to whatever Gabby says. "My mom taught me the ABCs because I missed the class when everyone else before me learned it. It was much funner to learn at home because there's always food to eat! Thinking and learning makes you hungry. Practicing is what makes everyone do good at everthing! So if we practice hard, we can be experts at flying and gliding!" Spinning around some more, Vivina also felt light headed and plopped down onto the cushions. "Eeeee.....I think so too....dizziness makes me want to close my eyes and then I feel like I want to sleep." Holding her head and trying to rotate her body in the opposite direction the room was spinning in, she managed to get her eyes back into focus again and sighed. Much better. "Woo....I feel better now! Oh, it's a song I heard on a CD. It sounds much better on the flute than my singing. There's no words to the song, but it still was interesting and pretty." A song without word, something that Vivina was surprised to have found out when she first heard this song. All the other songs had lyrics of some sort. There are many kinds of songs out there and she wants to know what they are like now.

"Ooh, that's awesome! My mommy's not too crazy about riddles. She gets a headache and lets Dan solve everything. He's smart and knows a lot of neat things!" Vivina giggled and then paused to think. "Riddle books? I have some, I think! Do I Spy books count as riddle books? They have riddles and pictures and I can't find everything the book tells me to find! It's hard...Hrm...I don't think I want to be a riddle thinker when I grow up. I want to be someone that does cool things to help people! Helping is good and my mommy says that I should work really hard to help." Nodding, she smiled and thought of exactly what she wanted to become. She was still young and had quite a while before she had to decide.

"Ah cool! Miss Kat was my doctor, and she was very nice. I think I would have liked her if I didn't miss class that day." She thought for a moment before replying again. "I can't reach where my mom hides all the snacks. It's too high up and there are only bottles and stuff in the fridge. She's smart when it comes to food." Nodding, Vivina bounced about and turned around again. "True true! When you do something a lot, I think it makes you hungry. I wonder how that works?" Vivina giggled and stopped bouncing when Gabby did.

Vivina agreed to Gabby. They've been gone for quite some time and needed to get back. "Oh noes! Missing something is bad!" Vivina suddenly was pulled forward as Gabby grabbed her hand and began to walk out of the room. "Thankies! My mom has lots of songs at the house and I like most of them." Vivina jumped as soon as Gabby began to dash out towards the classroom. "Hey! No fair, you got a head start!" Giggling, she too dashed off towards the classroom. She didn't want to be a weirdo!

((Okies then, so I officially call this PD OVAH! =D))
