Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rayna, Kylie, and Charlie walked through the amusement park, Rayna's and Kylie's arms linked together as Charlie's hands were stuffed in his pockets, chatting and laughing. Rayna was truly happy. She hadn't seen either Kylie or Charlie in a month, and she wasn't sure when she would see them again. Though she wasn't quite sure why they came, or if her mother allowed it, she felt it didn't matter. Maybe she would finally get the chance to tell Charlie how she really felt...

Rayna stopped dead in her tracks, causing Kylie and Charlie to also come to a halt. Kylie gave her a weird look as she stared up at something large in awe and excitement. "Miss Rayna, what are you lo-" she cut herself off as she too stared at the enormous thing in front of them. A rollercoaster. And not just any rollercoaster, either-- it was big, and it had many loops, twists, turns, etc. Kylie looked over to Rayna with wide eyes. "That?" she asked, a bit worried. Rayna nodded excitedly, walking towards it slowly. Kylie kept their linked arms firm, though, pulling her back a bit. "But...." she started, but Charlie put a hand out to stop her from finishing her sentence, also staring up at the rollercoaster. He looked down to Kylie, smirking. "You scared?" he challenged. Kylie nodded vigorously. "Very!" she said almost immediately.

Rayna pulled her arm away, beaming at Kylie and Charlie. "Come on, let's get on it!" she exclaimed, grabbing Kylie's wrist and running towards the line. Kylie tried to pull away, but Charlie only pushed her forward. Soon, they were in line for the coaster. Kylie looked up to it as a train passed, hearing the screams and biting her nails nervously. Rayna watched it and hopped up and down. "It looks so awesome!" she said excitedly. Charlie laughed. "You like roller coasters?" he asked, earning an eager nod from her. Rayna looked over to Kylie, who looked quite scared. She put her hands on her shoulders and looked at her straight in the eye. "Kylie, relax. We're not going to die." she told her. Kylie looked up at the track above them. "You don't know that." she said, shifting her weight on her other foot. Rayna sighed. "You can sit next to me, alright?" she told her. Kylie nodded.

Before long, they were submitted into the ride. Rayna ran in front of everyone else to the front of the train, making Kylie's face go white. Rayna laughed. "Kylie, we'll let Charlie sit in the front of the train this time. We're sitting in the second car." she explained. Kylie laughed nervously, getting inside of it. Rayna hopped in after her, shutting the car door with a slam. Charlie got in the first car, grinning. He looked back to the girls. "Don't worry. I'll protect you guys from harm." he joked. Rayna and Kylie laughed, but Kylie did a bit weakly. They fastened their seatbelts and pulled the bar down as instructed, holding it tightly. Kylie sucked in her breath as they started to go up. Rayna looked over, smiling. "It'll be ok, Kylie." she assured, getting a small nod in reply.

Screams filled the park as the coaster went down quickly. While Rayna and Charlie had their hands raised in the air, Kylie held onto the bar for dear life, screaming. Rayna yelped and cheered as they went in loops and ride upside-down. Kylie kept screaming even through the tunnel under the park. Rayna's eyes were wide as she beamed. She loved roller coasters. She loved going to the top and flying down to the bottom, making it seem you were going to crash on the bottom, but just manages to swerve and keep going through the track. She loved it when her hair flew when they twisted around corners and when the blood rushed to her head when the went through a loop. Roller coasters were her favorite thing in an entire amusement park.

Soon the ride was over. Kylie, Charlie, and Rayna walked out through the exit. Kylie's ponytail had much hair coming out of it. Rayna, though her hair was a mess, was beaming, as was Charlie. "That was amazing!" Razz cried out. Charlie nodded, high-fiving Rayna. Kylie stood there, shocked. "That was the most scariest thing I've done in my life!" she exclaimed, causing Charlie and Rayna to laugh, linking arms with her and walking away.

Gordon entered the park looking at all the rides. " I will ride each one atleast twice..then eat..then three more times around!" Gordon said laughing loudly. It was hard to choose a ride. Rollercoasters,bumper cars, that ride that spins you so fast you get stuck to wall.


Gordon couldn't decide which one to go on. He started to think for a moment when his eyes caught a group of three people. Maybe there had been a carnivial here before and they knew what was good. he started walking to them when he suddenly noticed the smallest figure. Now Gordon wasen't a NBA player but she was almost as short as him. But she did seem famailar.


It struck Gordon...litierally. Someone had slipped and there ice cream had fell right on his head. He wiped off his head and knew who that girl was. She was Makie from that fight club thing they had going around. Gordon reached into his pocket and pulled out a small book and pen.

He walked up to the small group and bowed. " Hello my name is Gordon. Are you Makie from that Fight club they held a few days ago? Well this may soundf silly but you did really good in both rounds. Your an insperation to all us short people! May i have your autograph please?" he asked as polite as he could. He didnt want to seem like so over-zealous fan.

" I could ask for them..but they didn't impress me as much as you did. Your hold alot of power in that body. Maybe you should train more with your trainer right there." he said pointing to MIsty mistaking her for Makie's trainer because of how she looked.


" Hey you where able to hold out pretty long against that dark magic. With a little practice you can do much better. Then next year we can have a little one on one of our own. That'd be one of my best fights." he said still smiling trying to boost her moral. And all of what he said was true to. He did believe Makie did have some power inside that could make stronger.

Makie, glanced back to Max, who looked a bit confused at the word 'honor'. Prehaps she had sounded un-excited, or too inferior. Prehaps she had made her new friend un-comfortable. She wouldn't want that, she wanted all her friends, and would hate to lose them as friends. Makie wants to keep all of her friends, since all of them were important to her, even the new ones. She said it would be an honor, since she's never had many friendsd, so it would be an honor to go out and hang with some one else.

Then her gaze drifted back to Gordon, blushing even more. She didn't find herself to be an inspiration for any one. She felt terrible for harming both Dante and Lukan. She felt miserable for, accidently, destroying Lukan's right arm, and making Dante see something, what looked to be like, a touching memory from his past, and then she destroyed it along with impaling him with ice spikes. She felt so bad. Makie regret everything she done, so the girl found herself to be anything BUT an inspiration. Then again, it would be hard to take a compliment such as that. It made her feel flustered, and feel embarassed, as she's never been treated with such attention before. But when Gordon mistook Misty as her trainer, she let out the smallest giggle, and Misty just shook her head, rolling her deep blue eyes.

But then Makie felt as if she was just hit in the stomach. Recalling the fight with Dante, she'd never been so scared in her life. Darkness, blood, people out to kill you. It was her worst nightmare come true! And her grandma... half her would never forgive Dante, but the other half felt it was only an accident and that she should have been more cautious in battle. Everything was her fault. Everything. That's just her, though. Misty felt proud of her, but she'd never show it. The older woman was very proud of Makie, and felt she had improved. Well, she's only seen her practice her arts when they were little before they went to different schools and began to lead different lives.

"Then next year we can have a little one on one of our own. That'd be one of my best fights."

Makie shook her head reluctantly. She hated fighting. People get hurt, people die, people are scarred for life, and others are emotionally shocked from losing or nearly losing some one close to them. Fighting was so irrational too. People fight when you didn't even have to fight at all, and others take fighting to seriously, practicing every day, and when it comes time to fight, tehy'd fight to the death. Makie felt that you should only fight when nessacery, and that fighting should really never be nessacery. It was pointless in her mind. The only reason why she signed up for the Star Torunament was to prove herself to Misty, and that's what kept her going. If she didn't have a reason, she'd never hurt any one.

"I-I-I don't th-think I-I'm t-that s-strong... A-And... I-I-I don't l-like to fight. P-People get h-hurt e-emotionally and p-physically. I-I-I had a-a goal set, t-that's w-why I-I signed up. I-I would n-never fight otherwise." Makie said, in a fragile voice. It was almost as if you could touch it, it woud break into one million little pieces that would be impossible to piece together.

"How about the Merry-go-Round?"

Makie smiled and clapped her hands happily. She loved Merry-Go-Rounds, even if they were 'childish' and 'pointless'. I mean, come on! You get to ride horses and wave at the people watching. And sometimes, if the person working the ride is watching, you could run around, getting on different horses as it rotated. Such fun. Of course, Makie's never done it before, but she always liked to try. Fixing a bit of her brown bangs, she nodded, still a bit red, and still blushing.

"S-Sure! T-That s-s-sounds l-like fun!" Makie said, hints of excitement and joy in her voice. "W-Would G-Gordon l-l-like to join u-us?" She asked, tilting her head slightly to the side, her chocolate eyes looking innocently up at Gordon. Even though she felt embarassed, and very uncomfortable being with two guys, the more the merrier! Besides, Misty was there, it would be fine if her bestest friend was there.

"W-We're going t-to h-have soo much f-fun!" Makie exclaimed, throwing her hands up happily in the air. Then without notice, she smiled, turning on her heels and dashing towards the Merry-Go-Round, not waiting for an answer. "L-L_Last one t-ther is a rotten e-egg!" She called out in the faintest, still running.
