Lesters new friend, part 1 were girl Lester walked into the pre-school, it was his first day in this or any other school (he had been home educated before). Sarah didn't come to school this day because she got some desease that her pet rabbit Holly brought in after a fight with a dog and it infested her and him. Lester put his bag with the others and went into the playground quietly, and sat under a tree were he took out his notebook and began making note on dominating the world as usual. rimedragona Sybil walked away from her brother and mom, heading towards the open area out back. She pushed open the sliding door to the patio, and looked around. After a moment, she spotted someone she'd never met before sitting next to a tree with a notebook. He was... not like any Kinder she'd ever seen, and she wondered if he was some new sort of Banir. She headed over to him, making no secret of her approach, though as usual she seemed to make very little sound. She boldly walked straight up to him, studying his face as she went. He looked like he was a very intense sort of person... but the vibes she got from him were... weird. They seemed to fluctuate between bad and good... but they were always very strong. She stood right in front of him, only a couple feet away. "My name is Sybil. You're interesting." She announced boldly and bluntly. were girl Lester was writing all the time, his green eyes fixed on his notebook so much she didn't notice a girl he had never seen before approach and he dropped everything with shoke as she suddenly spoke. Lester quickly grabbed his notebook and pen and stuffed them down one of his trouser pockets quickly before standing up from his place under the tree. "Hi! I'm Lester!" he said but didn't answer the 'your interesting' part since he didn't know what to say about it. rimedragona "I think Lester suits you. What are you writing? Can you read? I don't know how yet. But 'Lida's trying to teach me. She doesn't talk, so it's hard."She didn't seem to care that he didn't have any idea who she was talking about, and her python tail slid slowly back and forth behind her, as if it had a mind of it's own. She leaned towards him, and her mottled green wings stretched out behind her to balance the movement. were girl Lester nodded and didn't want to ask who Lida was and just asked, "why can't she talk? I think your name suits you to. . . its so. . ." he didn't finish the sentance because he didn't know what to say as his green eyes flashed, "If you want you can read but its just a list of nearly exctict flowers and plants, thats all. .. " he muttered, and put one of his hands in his trouser pocket. rimedragona "Momma says it's because I remind her of the Greek preistesses at uhm... Del... Del-phi? I think that's what she said." Sybil nodded, pleased that he was wanting to talk to her. "'Lida can't talk because she can't. Not a sound. But she can write really good. I wish I could read better. I only know a few words... like names, and things. And the names on my Tarot!" she was really proud about that. She'd gotten so she could even sound out Heirophant when she saw it. She scooted around and sat up close next to him, leaning over to look at the notepad though the writing didn't make any sense at all to her. "Why would you write down that? Are you going to do something about it?" were girl Lester gave nodds as she spoke and then asked, confused, "tarot? whats that? is that those fortune telling cards or so? Mum told me something about them. . ." he said and glanced at his note book, "I'm gonna re-breed them and make them not extinct anymore and there will be a lot of them!" he said, "and I have some plans for the future. . ." he added, in a loud whisper and closed his notebook, putting it in his trouser pocket again. rimedragona Sybil nodded happily. "Uh-huh. You can tell all sorts of things from the Tarot cards. But I'm still learning, so I don't want to give you a reading... I might do it wrong."She thought about his plans to rebreed all the plants, and he said something about plans... She looked him over, his vibes had gotten weird there for a second. But she shrugged. She liked him. "Are you going to plant them, and make the rainforest come back? Momma says she thinks the people who cut it down for farms are some of the stupidest people on the planet."She didn't really have any idea what a rainforest was, other than a big, wet forest, or where a rainforest might be, but she figured Rime knew what she was talking about. were girl Lester shrugged as she spoke about the rainforests, its a good idea he thought and turned his attention back to the girl, "I might do that, but then I would need a team for it since I can't re-plant the whole rainforest on my own and the people who build farms there might cut them again. . ." he said saddly and then added quite quickly, "but I can still try, and if all the rainforests are cut off many rare animals might die. . . and never be back again" rimedragona "You're going to replant them? Neat! I want to help, too. I'm not very good with digging deep, but I can put them in the ground, right? And I bet lots of people will help!"Sybil really had no idea what kind of work would be involved. It wasn't like planting a garden, and it wasn't as if it could be done in an afternoon. But sometimes enthusiasm is as important as knowledge. were girl Lester nodded, "there was this cat boy who seemed to be so against it he attacked me" he said and then spoke again, "don't worry, my sisters rabbit (or my werewolf sister) will do the digging, I'll do the growing of them, you can plant them into the ground and my sister will water them" he said proudly that everything was organised and ready to be done. rimedragona Sybil seemed a bit outraged, "Why wouldn't he want to plant the forest back in? He must have been confused."But she smiled at being given a job to do to help the forest. This was going to be fun! were girl "Maybe. . ." said Lester and pointed at his bandaged foot were the cat boy had scratched him, "although I wouldn't expect him to know the beauties of the world, since he was blind . . ." added Lester quickly. And took out a box of seeds from his pocket, studing the seeds through the see-through box, "when do you think we should start?" he asked quickly. rimedragona "Are we going to plant them here? In the preschool yard? Will the teachers let us?"Sybil bit her lip. This didn't seem like a rainforest to her....

Lesters new friend, part 2 were girl Lester thought for a moment then shook his head, "too dangerous. . . if we plant them here some kids might harm them, and the teacher won't let us. . . we better start off with a park or something like that. . . and then move over to a real rainforest" he said after a moment of thought. rimedragona Sybil nodded. Lester sure thought of everything! "So we just have to go to a park, right? I think there's one a few blocks away... in uhm..." she looked around, with a look of concentration on her face, "That way!" and she pointed. "We pass it when we ride the bus here. Momma doesn't have a car..." She was nodding enthusiastically. "Momma says I can't walk by myself, but if I'm with you, I'm not by myself, right?"She was peering at the box in Lester's hands, at the seeds. "What kind are they? And we're gonna have to water them, right?"were girl Lester stood up and nodded, " but first we have to go over to my house and take all the seeds needed" he said and then looked down at the seeds in his had and gave them to Sybil, " its a present, these flowers fully grown in two days and make seeds very quickly, I bred them myself. . ." he said and got ready to go to his house, which was just across the street. rimedragona Sybil took the seeds and looked at them carefully from all angles as she stood up. She carefully put the box in the pocket of her sweatshirt, and brushed the dirt from her pants. "Okay! I'll follow! Maybe I should tell Avery?" She looked around for her brother, and saw him climbing up the pole to the top of the swingset, for lack of anything exciting to do. Apparently Colette and Spiro weren't here today. were girl Lester gave as shrugg as he looked at her brother, climbing poles in lack of interest and gave another, smaller shrugg and then quickly said, "if you want to, I have no experience in other peoples brothers. . ." he said, "but its better you do or he will become worried" he said and stood there, glancing at the trees and grass with his glittering green eyes. rimedragona Sybil nodded in agreement, and then walked over to where Avery was currently reaching the top of the swingset, and about to embark on tightrope walking across the top. "Heya, Syb, what's up?" Avery paused in his climbing and clung like a monkey to the metal poles he was hanging from. Sybil looked up at him, and frowned slightly. That was too high for her liking... "Avery, I'm going to go plant trees with Lester in the park! Okay?"Avery decided that clinging to the poles was uncomfortable, and was currently hefthing himself to crouch on the top of the swingset. He wasn't paying much attention, and so when Sybil asked, "Okay?", that was all he responded to. And being Avery, he responded in the affirmative. "Yeah, sure, Syb, okay."He grit his teeth in concentration, having learned long ago not to stick your tongue out while climbing things. He stood up and begain to walk across. Sybil made a face. "Be careful, Avery! I'll be back soon." and she trotted back to Lester. "He says okay." She beamed, glad she could help Lester. were girl Lester gave a quick and small nod before turning round and being to walk to his house, looking back to see if Sybil was following as he spoke, "first we'll go to my house and get the seeds and then set off to the park and plant all the rare plants" he said and took her hand as they crossed the road, walking over to his house which was white with a red tile roof. "here we are!" he said and picked up the door mat, taking a key from under it and opening the door of the house. rimedragona Sybil trotted to keep up with Lester, just about hanging on his every word, and showing more emotion than she did with just about anything other than her tarot deck. He gave off such contradictory vibes, he was simply facsinating... "Is this your house? It's nice looking. We live in the kinder apartments..." She peered past him as he opened the door...

Lesters new friends, part 3 were girl Lester nodded as she came in and closed the door behind her, "my mother and older sister lived in the bannir appartments but when they also adopted Sarah they moving into this house, so I've never been in a bannir appartment before" he said and began walking down the corridor to the stairs slowly, glittering his eyes as he spoke, "this way!" he said and motioned towards the stairs and began climbing up it. rimedragona Sybil looked around eagerly, never having lived in a house. It was so big! Well, reletively, anyway. "Is this the way to your room? You have stairs! In your house! That's neat!" The only stairs Sybil knew about were the ones in the apartments, and they weren't in her house. were girl Lester gave a nod and stopped half way from climbing up the not-so-big stairs and turned round to watch her look around his and his sisters house, "all the rooms are upstairs, downstairs there's the kitchen (with the table and all), the big living room and cupboard" he said, quite proudly since no one ever had looked at his house with such interest. A small red potted flower began moving somewere in the corner near the stairs, as if watching the new visitor. rimedragona Sybil's eyes were busy roaming the house, and so as she was about to climb the stairs with him, they caught the slight movement where she thought there shouldn't be any. "Lester, that flower moved." She stated matter-of-factly, and pointed straight at it, as if daring it to move again. were girl Lester was about to go higher in the steps but then turned round and looked were she pointed and nodded, saying calmly, "In this house, all the plants move, you better not touch any" he said and then quickly added, "they can bite you know. . ." Then suddenly the plant turned its flower towards Sybil, as if it were a big, red eye, watching her. rimedragona Sybil's eyes widened, and she tilted her head at it, feeling vibes like she'd never gotten from a plant before. They were... not as placid, and had a bit of predator to them, like when she saw a cat hunting a mouse. She pulled her hands back behind her back, and quickly followed up behind Lester. "I won't..." she said, not wanting her fingers bitten off. were girl Lester gave a nod and climbed up the last steps of the stairs and going onto the second floor, it was a long corridor with all its doors open except one, in the near end of the corridor. Lester cheaked it Sybil was still behind him and then began moving quite slowly down the corridor and towrds his room, which appeared to be the one in the end as he took out a shiny, yellow key from his pocket and began un-locking the door with it. rimedragona Sybil was still watching the plants a bit nervously, but when she heard the key click, she turned around and her attention was focused on the room that was revealed. were girl As Lester began opening the door with a loud creak rustling was heard inside and when the door was fully opened there was a whole jungle inside. There were vines (which were moving) all over Lesters book case and his books ('exctinct plants' or 'rare medicl plants'), there was a plant with long sharp spikes around what looked like a mouth which was chewing on a dragon fly. "Don't be afraid, they are quite friendly" whispered Lester as he walked into the room and the air was filled with the greeting chatter of hundreds of plants. rimedragona Sybil was unnerved, and she stuck so close to Lester she was almost walking on his feet. "Why are they all so different? They move." For once, she didn't act like she had had advance knowledge of things. were girl Lester smiled as he petted the dragonfly-chewing one of the head, "I breed them" he said and continued, "feed them special things to make them move and think" he said quite proudly, "I keep them as pets and so. . ." he added and chased a vine of his bed as he sat down, "it took me quite a while to breed them, especially that one" he said, pointing at a green, cat looking cactus which was playing with a string. rimedragona She watched him pat the dragonfly eating one, certain that he would lose a finger, and quite surprised when he didn't. She turned to where he pointed, and tilted her head at the strage plant... cat... creature. "Oh. But you keep them locked in here...? Don't they get bored?"were girl "Mum will get angry if I let them out. . . I barely managed to keep them, once venus" he pointed at the chewing plant and continued, "nearly bit off my sisters (Marfa) tail and nearly ate my other sisters (Sarah) rabbit. they never get too bored since they have each others company" he said and continued, leaning back on his bed a bit, "I wanted to start a petshop with them but most of them are dangerous and who would want to buy something dangerous?" rimedragona Sybil could see his point. "But still... There must be someone? I think Avery would like one, maybe. He likes things that are scary and can bite." Whether Rime would let him have one is another question altogether. "Does it poke you if you pet it?" she asked, pointing to the cat-cactus.

Lesters new friend, part 4.][quote="were girl Lester shrugged, "if you manage to pet it, in the middle of july the throw off their spikes and grow some rough fur" he said and made a motion with his had to catch the cactus cats attention and then said, "Spiky, come here. . . this is Sybil" he said and pointed at Sybil, making the cactus cat curious and it began approaching. rimedragona Sybil's eyes widened. She wondered what to do, and finally decided to kneel. She crouched down, and held a hand out to it, so it could sniff it, or do whatever to decide if it liked her or not. She hoped Spiky wasn't poisonous. "Uhm.. hello, Spiky. I think you're very interesting. Would you like to be friends?" She decided to treat it as though she were meeting a new person for the first time, in case it understood her. Sybil didn't know if it did or not, though. were girl Lester smiled and his green eyes glittered as Spiky sniffed her hand and then began waving his paw at it, wanting to play with it and rolled on his back, trying to batter the hand with his spirky paws. "Be careful. . . hes not poisous but it will take a while to get the stings out" said Lester, watching the sene. rimedragona Sybil smiled, glad to be making friends with Lester's friends, no matter how strange they might be. She giggled when Spiky began to bat at her hand, and she poked back, being careful to not actually get stuck by a thorn. It was just like playing with a real cat! She'd met a cat once, at a pet store, and she'd wanted one, but Rime had been overwhelmed with kids at the time, and a cat just wasn't feasible. "where's that string? Then I wouldn't have to worry about being stuck." She looked around, frowning cutely. She looked at Spiky. "Where'd you put your string?"were girl Lester smiled and spoke, "he might have eaten it. . . its about one piece of string a daya she eats" he said and stood up, opening one of his drawers and took out a long piece of string and gave it to Sybil, "here" he said and sat back on his bed, watching Spiky staring at the red string, ready to pounce or for a fight with it. rimedragona "Ate it?" She looked at the cactus cat with an incredulous expression. "I suppose it won't hurt him, if you said he did it before." She took the string, and flopped it out on the ground, pulling it slowly towards her, twitching it slowly. An unconscious smile grew on her face. were girl Lester smiled and his light green eyes flashed, "he usually drinks water and thats all, although sometimes he gets too playful and eats it" he said as he watched spike play with Sybil and the red piece of string. Spike crouched and then pounced on the piece of string but instantly jumped back, afraid that Sybil might attack him if he got too close to her. rimedragona Sybil made a face, but she knew that creatures were cautious until they got to know someone. So she flicked the string out again, a little closer this time, and started twitching it again. "C'mon Spiky, get the string, it's gonna get awa~y..." She said in a quiet voice, as she slowly tugged the string along the floor. were girl Lester grinned a bit and sat up as Spikey jumped, not on the strin but on the hand moving the string, which he more intresting and m ore moving. Spiky battered the hand with his paw, wanting it to let go of the string so he could run away with it. rimedragona Sybil startled and said, "Oh!" as she fell backwards. She hadn't expected the cactus cat to pounce her hand! But she had let go of the string, and she made a moue of dissapointment as it was dragged away by Spiky.

Lesters new friend, part 5 were girl Lester jumped up from his bed and walked up to Sybil, asking, "are you okey? He's not poisonous and his spikes down remain in your skin so nothing bad happenes, it only hurts" he said and some of this plants were letting out giggling sounds, as if laughing at how Sybil got her hand scratched by Spikey. rimedragona Sybil looked at her hand, blowing on the small scratch gently. It really wasn't any worse than a normal scratch from a cat, but she'd never been scratched by a normal cat, much less a cactus-cat! She heard the plants giggling, and she sent a cold glare around at all of them, before standing up and brushing imaginary dust off her pants. "I guess I'm okay. It's not too bad." She held it out for Lester's inspection. were girl Lester inspected her hand and said, "yep, its fine, but you still have to wash it" the plants stopped giggling at Sybils stare but began whispering among each other and glancing (or seemed to glance) at Sybil before quickly turning away before she spotted them looking at her. rimedragona Sybil could feel the plants watching her, and could hear them muttering amongst themselves. They didn't seem very nice. "Okay, but where is the bathroom?" She was determined to ignore them. After all, she hadn't done anything wrong. They were just gossips. were girl Lestre nodded at Sybil and then did some sign in the air with his hand to the plants and they instantly fell silent. "Follow me" he said to Sybil and began walking out of the room. Spikey was still in his playful moon and pounced at Sybils moving feet, grabbing her right foot with bother his front paws, holding them and meowing playfully. rimedragona Sybil giggled and tried not to step on the cat. He was just playing, and she'd feel bad if she stepped on a foot. She didn't know how bad she might hurt him. "Now stop that Spiky! I'm just going to go wash the cut you gave me. Stay here!" and she pointed at the room before following Lester out the door. were girl Spiky instantly, when Sybil told him to stop, let go of her food and sat at the door way, as if waiting for her to return. Lester motioned Sybil to follow him down the corridor and pointed at a room at the right of the stairs, which appeared to be a bathroom even if it looked like heaven because of all the sweet smelling flowers and plants there. rimedragona Sybil looked inside the bathroom and her eyes widened. Were there this many plants everywhere in the house? And were these going to talk amongst themselves about her, too? It was enough to make her paranoid. She shrugged, and breathing in the delicious scent, she went to the sink and reached up as well as she was able, but she was too short. "Uhm, Lester? I need something to stand on." and she smiled sheepishly. were girl Lester gave a quick nod and said quickly, "right away!" and whistled, two vines streached out from the ceiling of the bathroom, holding what seemed to be a stool to stand on. The plants in the bathroom didn't seem to be whispering or giggling, a flower, planted next to the sink was holding some soap on its large leaves as if offering it to sybil. rimedragona Sybil smiled, and then stood on the stool. She took the soap from the flower, and said a hesitant, "Thank you..." before turning on the water and wetting the soap and her hands. She worked up a lather, and almost dropped the soap once. But she recovered it, and placed it back on the flower's leaves carefully. She rinsed her hands, and turned off the water, looking around for a towel, which was nearby, before stepping down. "I like these plants, they're nice!" Sybil declared happily when she was standing next to lester again. were girl Lester gave a quick nod, "these ones are special" said Lester, talking about the plants, "they have daisy and orchid gene's, it makes them kinder than the other ones with venus fly trap and cactus gene's" he said, a bit showing off with his plants, even if he had a bit too much of them, "the others just guard my stuff and room" he said and then said, "we wanted to take the plants and seeds and go to the park" he reminded. rimedragona Sybil nodded, a bit embarrassed. "But I've never seen plants like these before. Are we going to plant these kinds? Or just normal plants?"She followed along behind him as she asked the question, after waving goodbye to the plants in the bathroom. were girl Lester thought and then nodded as all the bathroom plants waved back to Sybil as if sad by her leaving, "We'll plant a few of the rainforest kind and a few of my own plants from my breeding, I want to see how they get on in the wild" he said and walked back to his room, his plants handing him his pack and he started to put seed boxes and pots into it. rimedragona Sybil waited as patiently as a three year old is able while Lester packed his bag. She looked around for Spiky, but he was hiding somewhere as cats of any sort are wont to do, and she sighed, a bit disappointed that she couldn't say good bye to him. He'd been nicer than the other plants in here. At least he didn't laugh at her. "Do I carry anything?" she asked, not wanting to be left out.

Lesters new friend, part 6 were girl All the plants and stopped sniggering and Spiky was on top of the closer, ready to pounce at Sybils wings. At last, after a few seconds of crouching he finally pounced at Sybils back with a wild 'meow'.
Lester had just finished packing his seeds and plants and stood, up, not noticing Spiky on Sybil and waved his other plants goodbye and chittered something on their language. rimedragona Sybil was half turned to follow Lester, but she froze when she heard the meow, and let out a little cry of her own when she felt a weight settle on her head and shoulders. She could could feel a few small pricks as the thorns on Spiky poked her. "Uhm... Lester? What about him?" she asked, a little tremulously, inching towards him. Her wings were outspread slightly, and fanning just a bit to keep her balance with the extra weight on her head. were girl Lester turned around and saw Spiky on Sybil with a smile and a small glimmer in his eyes he took out two pairs of gloves from his front drawer and handed a pair to Sybil and put one a pair himself, talking Spiky off her head and cuddling him, "these are actually for biting plants but I think they are good for spikes too" he said, talking about the rough gloves. rimedragona Sybil took the gloves, and put them on, thanking Lester. She winced a bit when some of Spiky's thorns got caught in her hair, but nothing happned so she relaxed. She wondered why she didn't know that the cat was going to jump on her beforehand. She should have felt it's vibes, shouldn't she have? "Is he supposed to stay here? Or can we take him with us? I think he wants to play! Maybe a harness?" Sybil asked as she reached for Spiky and held him gently with the gloves on. were girl Lester shrugged, "he's one of my newest plants to he's never been outside before and he can run away, I don't have any leash or rope to tye him up. . ." said Lester saddly as Spiky began making weird sounds, it seemed like he tried to purr but his plant name made him to squealing sounds which mde Lester giggle a bit. rimedragona Sybil looked down when Spiky began purr/squealing, and she giggled to, rubbing his gently behind the ears. "Aww, okay. I guess you have to stay here, Spiky. We're going to plant flowers and plants, okay?" and smiled at the cat. She gave him a few more rubs, and then set him down on the ground, so that they could go plant the plants. were girl Lester nodded and walked down the long corridor quite slowly and came down the stairs, waiting for Sybil at the bottom before setting out to the door. Spiky was a bit of a silent walker and trotted silently after Sybil, hoping not to be noticed by Lester or her. rimedragona Sybil smiled as she trotted down the stairs after Lester, not noticing her green shadow. "Can I help carry something? I wanna help carry something." She could be a bit bossy when she wanted something.

Lesters new friend, part 7 were girl Lester nodded and handed her a bag of what seemed potted plants, "if you can carry this" he said and then added, "if you can't I'll just give you the seeds to carry" he himself was carrying the seeds and another bag on non-potted plants and he too didn't notice Spiky creeping behind Sybil. rimedragona She hefted the bag in her small arms, and slung it so it was draped over her shoulder. it was a little heavy, but she didn't want to admit to it. Besides, it wasn't that heavy. She could walk fine. She hadn't yet learned that heavy burdens get heavier as you carry them. were girl "I hope its not to heavy!" Lester called back to Sybil as he walked outside and closed the door after Sybil and walked over to the road, waiting for her to catch up with her bag of pots. Spiky quickly climbed onto Sybil's bag before she slung it onto her shoulder and was now sisting on it, looking around. rimedragona Sybil was determined to carry it as far as possible. "I can do it! I'm not too little!" She stated. She noticed the increase in weight, but she was more concerned with the fact that the bag was shoving one of her wings out of it's normal resting position to notice that it was a cat on her bag. were girl Lester had noticed the cat-on-the-bag but was to busy looking at Sybil than to notice it properly, "You sure?" he asked, not wanting to annoy her yet he could see that it was to hard for her to carry, and he didn't want her to stumble or trip on the road. rimedragona "I'm su-" it was at that moment that she tripped over an uneven paver in the sidewalk, and she was falling forward, her mouth open in an 'o' of surprise, and she landed hard on her knees, bringing tears to her eyes, and a cry of pain from her mouth. The bag didn't really hit the ground hard, having only about a half foot to go before it touched ayway. But she didn't let go of the handle, not until she was all the way on the ground, and could bring her arms to the front. The bag was sitting behind her, and a spooked Spiky stared warily from where he had jumped a few feet away. She didn't cry. She just sat there, tears brimming in her eyes as she stared at her clenched fists on the sidewalk in front of her. She wouldn't cry, only little babies cried, and she wasn't a baby! I'm not a baby! she thought. She expected Lester to be mad, since he had his plants in that bag... were girl Lester put his bag down on the side walk and ran up to Sybil, "are you okey?" he asked, thinking to himself that carrying things isn't good work for a girl, even one with wings. Lester gave Spikey one of his 'glittering eye' glances which made Spikey back away slowly and back into the house. "I think you should carry the seeds. . ." said Lester and then quickly added, "they are a bit more important. . ." he said, hoping the plants in the bag weren't damaged rimedragona Sybil stayed where she was, not moving a muscle, tense as she could get. "I'm fine." Which she obviously wasn't, but eh? Who's gonna argue with a female? Especially a toddler female? When he mentioned her carrying the seeds instead, she sniffled finally, a couple of tears falling to hit the backs of her hands. "Okay..." she said softly, thinking to herself, I won't be a baby...She hadn't even looked at her knees yet, which were scraped up pretty badly, and had dirt stuck in them from the sidewalk. They stung, but she was doing her best to ignore them. were girl Lester gave a nod and took off one of the bags from his back, handing it to Sybil and taking the pots bag. The seed bag was vibrating faintly as if a bee was flying inside but really there was none inside. Lester was about to go when he say Sybil's knee's, "Sybil. . . maybe we should clean your knee's and scratches before me go? My mum is the best healer around!" he said. rimedragona She looked up, still with a slight pout. "Really? Does her kiss really make it better?" Rime always said that, but so far Sybil hadn't seen any actual results. She accepted the seed box, and marvelled at the buzzing sensation. She looked guiltily at the plant bag. "Are the plants alright?" she asked.

lesters new friend, part 8 were girl "well. . . erm. . . I ment bandages and stuff. . . althought I heard that dog spit makes it better, and since my mums a werewolf. . ." he said and then stopped, since he didn't know what to say next about his werewolf mother. "my plants are always okey, I put these in special, protective pots so that they don't get hurt, I always put them in there" he said, quite proudly of his care for plants. rimedragona "Oh." Sybil replied to the comment about bandages, and then continued, "I guess I should put a bandaid on them, right?"
"I'm glad your plants will be okay. I'm sorry." she said, still a little upset that she had fallen. were girl Lester nodded and said, "wait a sec!" and ran into the house, emerging moments later with bandages and followed by a large, black and fierce looking wolf with green eyes. The wolf sat down next to Sybil, staring at her with its green eyes as Lester began opening a weird bottle. rimedragona Sybil's eyes got saucer-wide, and she didn't even notice the bottle as she stared at the wolf. But she wasn't scared, just amazed. She wasn't scared because she wasn't getting scary vibes from the creature. "...Hello...?" she asked, carefully. were girl Lester took the bottle and poured some liquid on Sybils scratches to wash the dirt off and disinfect it. The wolf twitched its ears and blinked, in a moment the wolf began to grow and the fur began to disppear, in seconds instaed of a wolf stood a younge woman with black hair and green iris eyes. "Hello" she said, "I'm Martha, the mother of Lester, Sarah and Marfa" rimedragona Sybil had been tense, waiting for the liquid to sting, but as the wolf changed shape, she was so distracted, she barely even noticed. "Wow! That was neat. Lester said you were a... uhm... werewolf? But I forgot..." then she remembered her manners. "My name is Sybil, how are you?"were girl Lester closed the bottle and was bandaging Sybils foot as she spoker to his and his sisters mother. "pleased to meet you, I'm fine" said his mother with an old fashoned bow and then took Lesters bottle and with another bow disappeared back into the house and Lester stood up, getting all the plants ready again. rimedragona Sybil examined her leg breifly, and then stood up, cradling the box of seeds very carefully. this was much easier to carry. "I'm sorry, Lester. But we can go now, right?"were girl Lester nodded, "its okey. . . yep, we can go right now" and took the bag with te pots, begining to walk over the road again and waited for Sybil to catch up and then they could cross the road and go the the park with was across the road and a few minutes walk. rimedragona Sybil quickly caught up to Lester, but stopped to look both ways, making sure there was no traffic. Not seeing anything in either direction, she hurried across the road, feeling a little uncomfortable that she wasn't holding someone's hand to cross. She always held someone's hand. But then she thought, But mom says it's because I'm little, and she wants to keep me close... I'm big enough to cross the road by myself, now!were girl Lester ran after Sybil and stood on the other side of the road, next to her in a matter of mili-seconds, smiling with his green eyes glittering, "your a very quick road-runner you know!" he said with a small and began walking in the direction of the grand park, with also had a forest next to it. rimedragona Sybil followed along, not knowing this route to the park, and looked around eagerly for familiar signs that the park was near. "I have to be fast... Mom is so tall, and Avery is hard to keep up with!" she said, happily. were girl "You also have wings and a snaky tail!" he said with a smile, "And I have goat feet, goat tail, goat ears and green shining eyes, I think humans hada bad reaction when they saw us cross the road. . ." he said, smiling as he walked down pavement towards the park, knowing the road to it off by heart since he went there at least once a day and spent a lot of time there. rimedragona Sybil showed off her wings and tail proudly, then said, "Don't forget my horns! They make it hard to brush my hair, so it's short."She followed Lester as he turned in the direction of the park, and looked around curiously at the people who were walking down the sidewalk towards them, on their way somewhere else. They often stopped and did a double take, though several of them also sported weird attachments, like coon tails and head wings. She got varied vibes from these people, some seemed amazed, some were envious, and a few were hateful towards them. When she passed those people, she moved closer to Lester and tried not to look at them. were girl Lester smiled and walked down the sidewalk, looking around as he spotted his sister sitting under a tree, talking too squirrels near the parks entrance and payed no attention attention, only a slight glance in her direction as they entered. "We're here!" he said happily and walked on, looking around with his green eyes, searching for a good planting spot. rimedragona Sybil looked around too, but she didn't really know what would be a good planting spot. She thought somewhere sunny, a place where people didn't walk a lot, so they wouldn't get stepped on. "Do you think over there is good?" she asked, and pointed to a secluded place on a small rise. were girl "Sure!" said Lester with a quick nod and began walking over to the place which Sybil sugested and took out two rather small shovels, handing a light green one to Sybil and took a dark green one himself, beinging to dig a holw for his favorite rat (and bird) eater plant. rimedragona Sybil applied herself to digging a good sized hole, and when she had dug down deep enough, she plopped down, out of breath. This was hard work for someone so small! "Which plant can I put in this whole, Lester?" she asked, tilting her head at the plants.

Lesters new friend, part 9 were girl "Let me see. . ." muttered Lester as he stuck an orange cactus into his hole and walked over to the plant bag, searching for a moment and then tacking out a bright red tree, about the size of Sybil herself, "here, this one should do it, it was one of my favorites" he said, handing it over to Sybil. rimedragona Sybil looked at it, and then took a deep breath. "What is it?" she asked, as she reached for the pot, to pull the plant out so it would go in the ground. It stuck a little, but when she kicked around the bottom to loosen the soil, it came out, though it was a little hard to lift. She set it into the hole she had dug, and began to scoop dirt back around it. were girl Lester was digging a new, larger hole than his other one when he answered, "Its just a fire plant, its like a niht lap, it shines at night, thats all, I have a few of its seeds" he said and took out a packet of green looking seeds and put about two in his hole and then began pouring soil all over them before taking out a watering can and watering them. rimedragona Sybil looked at it. Would it really glow? She wanted to stay here until it got dark, but she supposed she could get someone to take her here at night so she could see. "That's so neat!" She beamed, and when Lester was done with the watering can, she took it, and applied a generous amount to the tree so it would grow well. "what next?" she asked, digging a couple more small holes for seeds. were girl Lester shrugged and said, "there are two more plants to go" he said, handing her a plant which looked like a cuctus but instead of spikes it had bubbles and took out a look stick like one to himself and began digging a hole, suddenly rustling of leaves was heard and Lester looked up, worried. rimedragona Sybil had taken the bubble cactus, and curiously touched one of the bubbles. How strange, she thought, and shrugged, putting the plant into one of her holes, after she had enlarged it some. She hadn't really heard the rustling, but she noticed Lester moving out of the corner of her eye, and looked to follow his gaze... were girl The bubble popped, squirting a bit of soapy liquid around as it was touched. Lester quickly grabbed his pack and stuffed their things in them, quickly planting a hedge like plant in a hole infront of their other plants as if to hide them and muttered, "time to go. . ." as black shadows of teenagers began to approach. rimedragona Sybil helped clean up the leftovers, and she felt a sense of urgency coming from Lester, and the slightly antagonistic vibes coming from the teens. She wondered what they would do if they found the plants. They were perfectly wonderful plants, and Lester had worked hard at growing them. The only reason she could think of that Lester would be worried was that they would hurt the plants. She began to get mad, but she didn't want to fight with some teenagers... they were much bigger than she was. So she grabbed what she could carry and hurried to Lester's side, waiting for him to take the lead. were girl Lester gave a nod and grabbed the other bags, running forward in a quick trot and then to the right, hiding behind some trees and motioned Sybil to follow as the laugh of the teenagers grew louder, by the looks of it it wasn't the first time he met then and now he avoided them at all costs. rimedragona Sybil followed, crouching down and watching the teenagers. What were they doing? She whispered quietly, "Why are we hiding? Are they mean?"were girl Lester gave an impatient nod, waiting for the teenagers to pass as they talked and laughed before he answered in a whisper, "These human's hate anyone who doesn't look like them. . . in other words demons, angels, werewolves and other bannir kinder" he said saddly, "Last time I was here they destroyed most of the plants I took it with me. . ." he said saddly. rimedragona Sybil was upset. Why would they do that? Because the plants didn't look like other plants? No one she knew was like anyone else! Even her mom wasn't really like other humans... she wasn't really human, she just looked like it. And Ritsu might seem human, but there was something... strange about him, but she could never figure out what. So why didn't they understand that there wasn't anything wrong with being different? She wanted to go running after them and ask, but she knew they would probably just be mean... and they were so much bigger than she was. So she stayed crouched down by Lester until they he deemed it okay to come out. Lester knew what to do, she thought. "I wish we could show them we're not bad... and they don't have to be mean to us..." she whispered sadly. were girl Lester shrugged, "you can try but it will end up in a big fight and we might not win it. . . Although I wouldn't mind to beat those guys up a bit. . . after what they did to my prized plants" he said saddly, "and my lyre. . ." he added in a moment, blushing slightly since only Satir's carried lyre's and he not only looked like one because of his ears, tail and legs but also loved nature like all satir's did. rimedragona Sybil momentarily forgot about the teens because of the new word. "Li...ar? ... Uhm..." she wasn't sure how to say that she didn't think she minded a liar getting beat up a little bit. She peeked out a bit to see if the teens were away, but only leaned over as far as she had to for seeing clearly. "I can see why they would want to beat up a liar though..." she whispered. She hoped Lester wasn't really good friends with this liar person. were girl "A lyre is not a person if that is what you mean" whispered Lester, "its a musical instrument, one of my plants favorites. . ." said Lester and peeked out from behind the tree too and whispered back, "I can't hear them and I can't see them. .. I guess thay left!" he said happily and walked out from behind the tree, hoping to see that his plants were not found and damaged. rimedragona "Are you sure?" Sybil asked as she stepped out as well, and looked around. She sighed in releif when she saw no one. "I didn't know there was an instrument like that!" she exclaimed, and smiled. "Are you going to get a new one?" she asked as they walked towards the plants.

Lesters new friend, part 10 were girl Lester shrugged as he answered, "I don't think they sell them in this city, and mine was a one of a kind rare one. . ." said Lester saddly and ran over to the bush, cheaking on his plants and gave a sig of relief, "the plants are okey. . ." he said and then gazed at the sun, "well. . . our work is done. . ." he said and then added, "wanna go over to my house?" rimedragona Sybil didn't have to think. "Yeah!" she cried happily, and bounced up next to him, ready to follow. She already had the box she had carried here in her arms. Meanwhile, Rime had been called to the preschool to attend to a badly sprained arm, which Avery had received when he fell off the top of the swingset. As she attended to him, she looked around for Sybil, and didn't see her within sight. Then she remembered the little girl had been burrowing in the pillows a bit earlier. "She must have fallen asleep... ah, well, I'll go check on her, maybe."were girl Lester nodded and began walking towards the sidewalk and roack down the small trail through the trees, "don't you need to ask anyone permission to go over to my house?" he asked, it would be easier just to phone Sybil's mother but his mother told him he wasn't old enough for a mobile phone yet. rimedragona Sybil blinked. She hadn't thought of that. "Yeah! I should ask Momma... but I don't know where she is. She's probably at work.." she sighed, a bit disappointed. They continued down the sidewalk, and Sybil thought about how she could ask to go to Lester's house... Maybe if she asked the teacher lady, she'd call her momma for her? She didn't know, but it was worth a shot. were girl Lester nodded and thought for a moment before answering, "so. .. are you going to phone your mum some how if you know her telephone number or are you going to tell her in another way?" he asked, walking down the sidewalk, forgetting were he was actually going since he was lost in his thoughts. rimedragona Sybil nodded. "I'm going to call her. I wonder if Momma has her cellphone?" she pondered... and then shrugged. She'd find out when she got there and smuggled the use of a phone. For now, she carefully carried her burden as she walked with a bouncing step down the road. The close call from the teenagers had made her a bit overly bouncy in relief, and her happy expression drew smiles from some of the people as they walked past. There were still the others, of course. The ones who made faces at their animal-appearance, but this time she barely noticed them, her goal set for Lester's house so they could put away the planting tools. were girl Lester nodded quickly and said, "yes. .. we have a phone at home. . . do you know your mums phone number?" he asked, although he didn't quite care if he got the answer or not, since his main goal was to carry the heavy burden to his house, and not let the staring people annoy him. He could hear the people whispering and tried not to pay attention to them as they pointed. rimedragona Within a few minutes, Sybil could see Lester's house coming up, and she looked back to smile at him. "We're almost there. I can see your house!" she said. were girl Lester smiled and nodded, begining to walk more quickly towards his house, even though the heavy weight didn't make him go very quickly. "I guess we'll be at my house in less than a minute or too. . . I wonder what time it is. .. " he said and wondered what his mother had ordered from the take-away, since she didn't cook much. rimedragona Sybil shook her head. She didn't wear a watch, and so could tell. But the sun had definitely changed positions in the sky, and her stomach was beginning to grumble. "I dunno, but my tummy is growling, so it must be mealtime, right?" she asked.

Lesters new friend, part 11 were girl Lester nodded, "I didn't know you had a psyhic tummy that could tell the time!" he joked and then turned serious again, "yes. . . mum ordered either mcdonalds food or chinese take away. .. do you like chinese food?" he asked as they neared his house and he could see a light in his sister sarah's room. rimedragona Sybil smiled at the joke, and nodded. She'd only had it a few times, but she had liked it. "Do you like orange chicken? I like it... Momma likes Japanese food more, though."were girl Lester shrugged as he walked down the small path leading to the door of his house, "I don't know. . . I've never tasted it. . . whats it like?" he asked as he opened the door of his house and stepped in, noticing a bit of smoke coming from the kitchen, "don't tell me. . . mums trying to cook again. . ." he muttered. rimedragona Sybil sniffed the air, and could smell a little smoke, too. "Maybe she's grilling? Momma sometimes makes a little smoke when she grills..." she said with a cheeky grin Then she remembered his question. "Uhm... well... it's sticky, and sweet, and tastes a little like oranges... I like it, it's good!" she stood behind and to the left of Lester, and craned her head to look for the stairs she remembered. were girl Lester nodded and then added, "Luckly she bought a fire extingisher, (or what ever its called) last week. .. " she said and headed from the stairs as screams of latin slag words fired out from the kitchen, Luckly Lester didn't know latin and didn't know what they ment. "We'll put the stuff in my room and then go and help mum with putting out the fire. . ." Lester muttered. rimedragona Sybil was a little worried. Was there really a fire? She'd never seen a fire up close that wasn't in a fire place... "Are your sisters here? And is Spiky going to be in your room, again?" she asked, remembering the cactus cat. She tried to peer into the kitchen as they passed, but was unsuccessful. Next was the task of climbing the stairs without dropping something. were girl Lester nodded, "only one of my sisters is here, Marfa is out playing with her friends but Sarah is home, she's usually reading animal books or taking care of her multiple animals" he said and began climbing slowly and carefully up the stairs, and as he did so he added, "Spiky must be in my room. . . I hope he didn't cover my whole bed in spikes again. . ." he muttered. rimedragona Sybil's mouth quirked, but she held down a giggle. It was an absurd situation, to come home to find the cat had shed stickers instead of fur on your bed. "I hope he didn't, too. When he did, did you have to put it in the wash? Or did you just shake out the covers?" she asked as they reached the top of the stairs.

Lesters new friend, part 12 were girl "both actaully. . ." said Lester, walking down the narrow corridor and turned, opening the door to his jungle room and added before walking in, "I put it in with the other clothes once. . . they got covered all in spikes too." Lesters room looked as clean as ever, most of his plants were already asleep but some began whispering as they walked in, Spikey was asleep on Lesters bed. rimedragona Sybil frowned when the plants started whispering again, and she asked, "What are they talking about?" she was tired of them talking behind her back, especially if it was about her. She didn't know if it was, however... maybe they just liked talking about people they saw. were girl "Just stuff. . ." Lester said, putting the sack of items in the corner of his room and added, "that we're back late and all. .. " he said, but it wasn't complettely true, since it wasn't the only thing the plants were whispering about, they also whispered things about Lester having a girlfriend, but he decided not to tell Sybil about it. rimedragona Sybil shrugged, accepting the answer, and wondered where she should put the seed box. She thought that it probably should go by the bag Lester had been carrying, and carried it over there. "This goes here, right?" she asked, and started to set it down. Then she asked, "Do you think the ones we planted in the park 'll be okay?" thinking of the teenagers they had seen. were girl Lester nodded, "ye. . . it goes there. . ." he added as he sat on his bed, since he was tired from dragging the bag about on the long walk. "I'm sure they're going to be okey!" he said in a cheerful voice and lay back in his bed, smiling to himself, "But I'm not to sure for the teen agers. . ." he added, and his eyes quickly flashed a bright yellow colour, barely visible and a bit freaky for people who saw that. rimedragona Sybil was tired too, and sat down on the floor, leaning against the bedspread, and so missed the flash of his eyes. She tilted her head questioningly, and asked, "You mean, if they try now, the plants will get them?"As she waited for his answer, she looked around the room, studying the plants like they seemed to be studying her, giving each one her individual attention. Each one recieved the same blunt stare, neither approving nor diapproving, merely observing. were girl Lester grinned and nodded, sitting up as he heard the plants begin to whisper disapprovingly, not liking to be stared at by Sybil, but since these plants couldn't do much he didn't do anything to stop the whispering. "Yes. . ." he answered at Sybil's question, "but don't worry, they only attack if the sense themselves or their friends in danger. . . so kind humans have nothing to worry about" he said with a quick nod. rimedragona Sybil gave up on the plants, not figuring she would win in a staring contest with something that didn't blink... but she was glad that someone just wandering past wouldn't have to worry about getting hurt. "Do you think your mom is waiting for us?" she wondered, thinking about the smoke she had seen.

Lester new friend, part 13 were girl "Na" said Lester shrugging his shoulders, "My wolfish sister Marfa brought her friend in today and now Marfa I guess is packing up for some stupid trip to Vaticant and mum I bet is looking for her pendant" he said, angrily. He actaully wanted to come to Vaticant too, thats why he was angry, but it was a girly quest trip and he wasn't allowed to go. rimedragona Sybil didn't know this, and so she was confused as to why Lester was angry. "But... aren't you going, too? Aren't you taking a suitcase?"She looked around for one, but didn't see one set out anywhere. Her eyes landed on Spiky, and she smiled. He was a cute kitty, if a little strange. were girl "No. .. " said Lester, calming down a bit as he sat down on his bed, "its their trip and stuff. . . only Aqua and Marfa are going with one of Aqua's guardians or so. . ." he said with a shrugg as Spiky began purring and trying to rubb himself against Sybil like a norma; cat would, not aware than he may hurt her with his spikes. rimedragona "Ooh, I see." Sybil said, and laughed as Spiky came close and rubbed against her. His thorns didn't hurt her, as he was going with the direction they lay. She ran a gentle finger down one of the lines in between thorns. "How long are they gonna be gone?" she asked, referring to Marfa and Aqua. She was also aware of a rumbling in her tummy, and she still hadn't called Rime to let her know where she was. were girl Lester lay on his back on the bed againa nd sighed, "I don't know. . . they have until the end of the year I think. . . Its something to do with holy water and thats why they're going to vatican. . ." he answered, petting Spiky on the back too before looking out of the windo to see the sun setting, "maybe you should phone your mum. . . she must be worrying" he said, imagining her mum, (even if he didn't know how she looked) running around and looking for her. rimedragona Sybil wasn't sure where the Vatican was, but not wanting to appear stupid, she kept that to herself. "I bet Momma is really worried! She was s'posed to pick me up from school... but it's way past the end of school...." Sybil was just realizing how much trouble she'd probably caused, and she opened her eyes wide, getting worried now. were girl "Lets ask mum to phone her. .. " said Lester, siting up again and asking, "shall you speak on the phone or my mum? Does your brother know that you left to tell your mum that?" he asked, hearing Italian swear words coming out of the kitchen and the sounds of a fire extinguisher, "my mum doesn't sound to busy. . ." he said, sarcastically.

Lesters new friend, part 14 rimedragona "Uhm... maybe your mom could talk? Momma's gonna be a little upset... and Avery saw us leave, right? But we didn't tell him where we went. He probably forgot, anyway." Sybil answered all of Lester's questions in order, and stood up from where she had sat on the floor, with a final pat for Spiky. were girl "Okey" said Lester with a nod and jumped off his bed, landing on his hoofs, "Do you know your mum's phone number?" he asked, "Because I don't think my mum knows it" he added and scratched Spiky behind the ear, "your brother is very forgetful, right?" he suddenly asked, running out of quetsions to ask Sybil. rimedragona Sybil nodded. Rime had made all of them memorize the phone number, so that they could call home if they needed to. "Yup, I know my number. And Avery's not really forgetful... he just doesn't pay attention to things for very long... He's a total spaz!" Sybil exlaimed. She waited for Lester to lead the way, not wanting to take charge in someone else's house. She did wonder if it would be alright to take spiky downstairs, though. "Can Spikey come, or does he have to stay up here?" she asked. were girl "Spikey can come, but he has to stay out of the way, since Marfa usually runs like mad around and trips over him all the time he comes out of my room" he said and walked out of the room, making a few clicking noises with his tounge which made Spikey jump off the bed and get ready to follow them. rimedragona "I can carry him! ...If that's alright..." she finished quietly after her exclamation. She figured she'd probably need gloves again, and it would keep him out from underfoot. were girl Lester stopped walking and took out a pair of emergancy gloves and handed them to Sybil before resuming the walk down the corridor and beagn walking down the steps, "be careful with him, it might take you a while to wash off his spikes off your clothes. . ." he said at the top og the stairs. rimedragona Sybil nodded, and put on the gloves before coaxing Spiky up into her arms, which wasn't a difficult task. She wasn't worried about spikes in her clothes, but she would have to remember to tell someone before they went in the wash... They made it down the stairs uneventfully, and she looked around for the Wolf-lady that she had seen earlier.
