Elazu picked the last few bits of hay and dusted his hands off, smiling at his work. His mother would be proud.
" Things can float around your head?" And she wanted planets...An idea struck him then and he grinned, lifting his finger up. " Hold on a sec," before running over to his mother, who was still filling out paper work. She looked down at him, then over at Taji, a knowing smile crossing her face as she waved at the little girl. She looked back at Elazu to listen to his question then nodded, telling him to be good, before turning back toward the counter.
" I will mama!" He exclaimed before skipping back to Taji, grabbing hold of her hand as he started on his way out of the store. " Come on I wanna show you something."

Taji eagerly waved back to the nice-looking lady at the counter (Elazu's mother, maybe?) and had gone back to watching the puppies roughhouse when the other boy ran over and grabbed her hand.
She obligingly kicked up into a skip herself, to better keep up with him, waving to the lady again as they passed her. "Where're we going?" She finally thought to ask curiously, though she certainly did not mind the pseudo-kidnapping. Maybe they were off to see the Wizard. The thought made Taji brighten, and the young girl began to hum the appropriate song as the duo made their way out of the store.

Risika waved back to the girl with a bright smile before heading toward the side of the store, looking at dog beds, bowls, toys, all the essentials a new puppy would need.
"Somewhere fun!" He grinned as he continued to skip toward the door, letting go of Taji's hand in order to push his weight against the door. With a good heave he was able to psuh it open enough for them to slip through. He waited, however, for Taji to go through first, smiling brightly at her.

Taji halted long enough to take hold of her skirt in both hands and briefly yank it out, bending creakily at the knee in a curtesy that was not yet mastered, a bit of etiquette her family had (attempted to, at least) trained her in. Then she grinned back at him and slipped out the door, waiting for him to join her.
Though she had been determined not to pester him too much, nevertheless curiosity very quickly got the best of her. "Is it the zoo?" She thought aloud, looking up and down the block for any other helpful clues.

Elazu snickered to himself at the curtsy, for he really hadn't seen anyone do it before. He understood what it was, but finally seeing it outside of the cartoons, it was kinda silly. He ignored it though, and jumped outside of the store before the door could snatch him back in.
He skipped a few steps down the street before stopping in front of a store that was next door. He grinned to himself before turning to Taji with a large grin upon his face.
" No not the zoo, I have never been there." He peered inside of the store display to make sure it was open before turning quickly to Taji. " Now you stay here, I'll be right back." With that said he quickly shoved his weight against the door, pushing his way inside.

"Okee," Taji said for a lack of anything better. What was he planning? Maybe a parade? A parade of kittens? No, but that was inside this store and he went inside another one, one that she had not seen before. She stared at it for a while as if hoping it would spring to life and tell her what exactly it was (or, even better, what exactly Elazu was doing.)
Well, she couldn't follow him inside, because he told her to stay here. Here -- this little square of cement on the sidewalk. Taji tiptoed very carefully to the edge of the square, taking careful precautions not to step on the crack. Now she could go no further, so she sat down carefully on her square and scratched her nose, hoping he wouldn't be too long.

After a few moments Elazu reappeared outside, smiling brightly with a small paper bag in his hand. He hopped until he was in front of her then stuffed his hand into the bag, fishing out something before setting the bag on the ground. He then extended his fist toward Taji, opening it slowly so as not to drop the present, as well as to tease her a little bit with suspense.  Within his palm was a small marble of the earth, seemingly shined to glossy perfection. Extending from this marble was a small chain, one that could easily clip on to a necklace or bracelet if need be. ( hahaha i worked on this for a bit...sorry its not amazing XDD i watched like 5 tutorials to get it right X33 ))

[Dude, that's INCREDIBLE. o__o It looks so professional!]
Taji slowly leaned in, staring wide-eyedly at the mystery thing hidden in Elazu's hand, nearly to the point of falling over; but finally it was revealed.
She squeaked and immediately leapt to her feet, accepting the marble and holding it up to the sunlight to better admire it. It was round and shiny with pretty patterns on it, and -- and it was hers.
"THANK YOUUU," Taji promptly burst out, continuing broadcasting her happiness in a soft but neverending "eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!" while throwing her arms around Elazu in a tight hug, the marble clutched in her fist. She would treasure it forever, and ever, and ever, and...

( redface thank you , i guess after staring at ones that professionals made it made me see mine badly XDD <33 ))
All Elazu could do was stand still as Taji hugged him. The only person who hugged him was his mother, so it was awkward to get a hug from another girl. A small blush had crossed his face as he returned the hug quickly before pulling back a little bit, pointing at her halo.
" I-it can float in there. Just take of the lil' chain if you want." He paused before smiling sheepishly, still not over the whole hugging thing. " I'm glad you like it."

Elazu could probably see the lightbulb going off above Taji's head as she finally realized the entire point to this venture. Pulling back from him, she busied herself with trying to detatch the chain from the marble. It took her a few minutes (and she had to resist the urge to throw it on the ground and stomp on it -- she might hurt the marble!) but finally she managed to work it free. And so, with a little flourish, Taji tossed it up and allowed her halo to catch it. The marble spun happily in its new place in the universe, between two of her stars, where Taji beamed at it. "I will call it Planet Elazu!" She decreed royally, and after another moment's thought, reached up to pluck one of the stars bordering it. It came loose much more easily now that she was stronger, and she clutched it tightly in one hand while loosening one of her arm-bracelets (little more than rainbow-colored strings) with her teeth and catching it with her other. She corralled the star with a simple knot and finally allowed it free, pulling the string down where the entire thing wouldn't be caught again by her halo; aimlessly the star floated up until the string wouldn't allow it anymore, like a tiny little star balloon. "Here, you can have this," Taji said proudly, offering the star to Elazu.

(( the marble is different now XD. i had balle help me get rid of that white circle that was bothering me, i like it much better now X3.
and hush about your item drawin skeels. I love that little star XDD ))
Elazu beamed proudly at the name of the new planet. He could now officially gloat that he had a planet named after him. Not too many people could do that. He watched his planet spin, smiling happily. He had chosen the right gift.
His eyebrow arched in question as he watched Taji tinker around with one of her stars. What could she be up to? Especially after taking one of her stars out of her halo. But his eyes widened in surprised as she offered the leashed star to him, as a gift. He watched the floating star silently then took hold of the end of the rainbowed string, watching the star move around on its own. A bright grin crossed his face then
" Thanks Taji!" He tied the end of the string around his wrist, watching the star fondly as it hovered around his wrist. " It'll be 'Lil Taji." He laughed a little, realizing how lame he was being by following her lead on how to name his new star. He liked it anyways, and it would be attached to his wrist for a good while.
" Does it...eat anything?"

[*Saves new version* BEST MARBLE EVER. heart ]
"We are good friends now, cosmic friends!" Taji declared emphatically, balling her fists and placing them on her hips. She imagined she looked very dramatic and powerful, with the (non-existant) wind blowing her long hair out behind her and -- wait, she wasn't wearing a cape this time. Hmmm. Well, maybe her new planet was spinning extra-fast, to demonstrate the importance of such a friendship pact.
Elazu's next question promptly distracted her; Taji thought about it very carefully, bee boots a-tapping on the sidewalk. "LOVE." She said finally, beaming him another cheesy grin. "Otherwise, he is fine! Take him out sometimes to see his brothers and sisters at night, and... and don't let him loose in wide open spaces." She tapped a finger against her chin in thought, trying to determine whether she was missing anything else.
Well, if he was... She couldn't tell--wait! What time was it?! Ohh, her mother was probably all crying and huddled in a corner somewhere, missing her very much... "I should probably go find my mum now... But -- but let's go to the zoo sometime, ok? You can bring Rex!"

( X3 <333 thankiieess)
Friends? Elazu played the idea within his head for a moment then smiled brightly. He liked that she was his friend, and he was hers. Now onto the star...
" Love? Okay I'll love it then." He nodded, continuing to watch the little star hover around his wrist. This would give him more of a reason to go outside at night time now too. " I'll make him a little house as soon as I get home."
He frowned slightly once she mentioned having to leave, but the hopes of a future zoo visit made him happy once more. " Okay! A trip to the zoo will be fun! And Rex will come too of course." He smiled brightly then turned to head back into the pet store. He paused, however, and turned back around to give Taji a quick hug. " Thank you for 'Lil Taji." He jumped back quickly, running back to the pet store. " Byyyeee Taji!" And with that he shoved his way back into the pet store, where Rex and his mother awaited him.
