Cody:
Cody sat himself upright in his bed, arms folded over his chest as he starred blankly at the TV screen. Weeks in the bed.. almost two months now. His ears pinned back just thinking about how much practice he was missing out on because of all this. He was fine, he had two legs and a pulse. 'monotoring vitals' his spotted a**. Though he reminded himself over and over again of what Orphious had taught him in his special skills lession. Cody unfolded his arms slowly and held a finger out in front of him, moving it forward and back...use both eyes. Well darn lot of good that lesson did him.
Keanu:
Noisy. Too noisy. An eye opened drowsily as a yawn escaped the ever bored leopard. That was what had led to the catnap. Why was the TV on..? He glanced in the direction of the noise, half noting the other boy sitting up. Fine, fine time to get up it seemed. Or at least pretend to. Talking to the others was about all there was to do in this awful place. Being awake meant tying his hair back... or not. After a few seconds of trying to find the hting where he'd left it he gave up. Someone moved it again. Another reason he didn't like this place. The nurses made it their business to run your lives. Don't get up, take a nap. He wasn't going to do something stupid. So up he shoved himself, wincing at the pain. Still, he hated laying down all day. "Mornin' Cody." Why was the TV on again? None of them really watched it did that? Probably a nurse. It was 'entertainment' or something.
Paxton:
Paxton had been awake for a while now. Some where half in sleep, half in wakefulness he drifted in and out, not really caring to get up and greet the day.
naitokurab: It wasn't that Paxton didn't want to speak with either Keanu or Cody, yes he had a few choice words to say to both of them, but there would be a time for that...besides, the day was probably rather pretty. Even if it was freezing outside, at least there would be sun. A sigh. Paxton rolled over and covered his head with a spare pillow. Yeah...just ten more minutes.
Cody:
Cody turned a bit as Paxton rolled over, raising an eyebrow. "Well looks like we got us some signs o' life..." He smirked a bit, glancing up to Keanu. Good thing he'd still been out when they were playing catch with one of the flowerpots their folks had dropped off to sit by their bedside- that would have been bad. "How're ya holdin' up there, spots?"
Keanu:
One brow raised at Paxton's shifting, but he knew better than to rouse him. There had to be a speech of some sort coming if he said a word. Just save himself for a few more minutes. He wouldn't usually mind the lecture, hell he'd given a few to Paxton in the past too. The fact was that being stuck in a bed for more than a month left Keanu a rather cranky kitty. Too much energy for his own good. "Mmm... same as ever." When exactly had that nickname set in anyway? Ah whatever, he didn't mind. He'd been called worse things right? "What about you, Cody?" He really wish they hadn't hidden his hairtie again. Even without a brush it would have been nice to pull it back. Even if it wouldn't do much good. It wasn't like they'd let him go out and run around. His leg was still to much of a mess wasn't it?
Paxton:
"That's not funny--" The lovebird snapped, immedatly sitting up to retort upon Coyd's comment. Signs of life? Yeah, that was really classy to say to someone who had been out of it for a long time. Paxton wasn't sure how or why, but some how Cody had managed to ruffel his feathers. "Ung--" half heartedly the boy tossed the pillow he had been holding across the room. Where it missed it's target by several feet and landed onto the floor with a soft squishy plop. Damn it. He didn't even have the drive enough to throw properly. But then again, he never could...Paxton just pretended he could do all the activities guys did." I mean..." Brown eyes blinked at the pair of boys sitting next to him, "...Good morning?"
Cody:
"Aye now, that's no way tah be treain' someone stuck in bed." Cody scratched at his messy hair a bit. His bandages would be replaced by a patch soon enough, till then he'd have to deal with them. "Wasn't meanin' nothin' by it." He put a hand up, "Aye, Keanu an' me have been worried enough by ya. We don't seem much like it but das th' truth. We even let th' nurses in long 'nuff tah look at'cha. Let 'em get close n'uff tah put more gas on."
Keanu:
He glanced at Paxton as he sat up long enough to chuck a pillow then mention morning. Right, yes morning. "Mm, yea we were." Not completely awake perhaps. Then again, it might have just been a disinterest in being awake in this place. Hard to tell really. He eyed the pillow as if contemplating using it as an excuse to get up. The last time he'd tried tonurses showed up. More sleepy gas. Best to just let it be. "You slept a lot longer than we did Paxton." He mentioned, rubbing a hand through his own mess of hair. "I was worried you really wouldn't wake up." Oh, maybe it was guilt rather than disinterest. It was his fault this all happened. "I shouldn't have gotten you involved in this. Neither of you." He'd appologized before, but it really didn't change the fact. It was his fault.
Paxton:
"Oh...thanks..." Paxton didn't mean to sound sarcastic, but it just came out that way. Tilting his head downward, Paxton took a deep sigh before massaging his temples and from there fingers worked to up to scalp and through Paxton's hair. The love bird enjoyed being touched about his neck and head, it was rather calming and right now the last thing he wanted to be was upset. He was going to make this day work for the best. And if that meant putting on a brave face and faulty smile for Keanu and Cody...so be it. Acting couldn't be that impossibly difficult. "I know you were..." Paxton tilted himself back until he was once again resting comfortably upon what bedware he had. "And...ah--gods sake Keanu, don't start ont he fault issue. You can't help the fact that you're a ---" he cut off there and simply shut his mouth. No, he wasn't going to be negitive here. Even if Keanu was a complete dumbass.
Cody:
"Don't be blaimin' yerself. I woulda run 'em down if ya hadn't gone in first, ya know I'm always spoilin' fer a good fight. An' 'cides- that creep's th' guy that took out Allen. Not good havin' them just walkin' round like that. Ya wanted tah put a stop to it a'fore 'e could get to th' ladies...or anyone else." Cody smirked a bit and leaned back against his pillow, still kind of moving his finger back and forth between his eye and bandages, trying to understand the distance change for him... everything was so flat. "Best we start payin' some attention in class I reckon."
Keanu:
He managed to subdue the glare he wanted to toss in Paxton's direction for the comment. Not so much about what he was going to say, though he had an idea of what Paxton might have finished it, but for telling him to shut it. He knew that Paxton wouldn't have been there that day if not for the fact he'd been trying to keep an eye on him. As for Cody... he'd come over after seeing them. He'd been there hoping for a lead really, eager to just at a chance to do good. He'd been a bit stupid about it. Hell, he was going to agree with Paxton's unsaid words for the time being. It had been stupid. Which meant Cody was right. "Yea, we should." And practice more on his own. He obviously wasn't ready yet, which meant more work. More practice. "So we can make sure if those people do come back we're ready. Because they could come back." He wasn't above of spot of revenge against someone who was evil to begin with. One of these days he'd settle the score with those two. They wouldn't get away with hurting his friends.
Paxton:
Dumbass....that was another word which could be used to describe Cody. Allright, so he had Cody and Keanu described down to a "T". There was just one problem left...how on Earth had Paxton got himself stuck with these two? 'If anyone's the idiot here, it's yourself,' mused that d**k of a voice in his head. In all essence, that voice had some truth in it. If Paxton had been thinking he wouldn't have rushed into things the way he had. Not that he rushed into things...he had just been stumbling to get to Cody and Keanu's bleeding bodies only to be stopped by a--snake? The memory was kind of faint, and also a bit odd...Paxton hadn't mentioned it to anyone yet,
naitokurab: and he didn't want to either. What if people thought the attack had wrecked his memory or something? Besides, there were only to guys there...right? "Yeah...I guess we all need some work." A faint smile crossed Paxton's lips. "Especially me, if I'm going to be keeping up with you two."
Cody:
"Should be easier now, eh?" Cody smirked over towards the lovebird, "I mean Keanu'll be stuck gimpin' it around with a pair o' crutches and ten bucks says I'll be smackin' intah just about everythin for a month or so, fallin' over m'self more than I already do." A horrible attempt at bad humor, but an attempt none the less. If they couldn't learn to laugh at themselves they had no right picking on eachother. Dumbasses, perhaps, but at least they had a backbone. "We'll get better,jus' think how much th' ladies will eat this up. Three brave boys all messed up in the name o'...uh...somethin'." He scratched his head a bit.
Keanu:
He shrugged at the lovebird's comment. He really couldn't be dragging Paxton into this anymore? Part of getting better had meant learning to keep his friends out of it. He didn't want them getting hurt again. He wasn't afraid of death, but the idea of having anyone die because of him. Someone who wasn't evil... The thought left a cold pit in his stomach. No, he'd try to keep them out of the real stuff. He'd explain it to them later. They... shouldn't be involved. Wasn't this enough of a hint? He snapped his head up at the mention o fcrutches, frowning. "I am NOT going to be stuck using those things very long!" He grimaced at the very thought of it. "I'll get better so I don't need them." He nodded. "And come on, think about it. You'll figure out how to walk." Alright, his sense of humor was a bit low at the moment. It'd come back eventually. "And why are you bringing up girls at a time like this?" Didn't those two ever stop?
Paxton:
A smirk flitted across Paxton's lips. It was rather nice to see that Cody was helping him out here on the positive side of things. Lord knew that it would take the two of them to perhaps help Keanu from his slump.For Paxton knew Keanu was in a slump. It was just so obvious the working of his minds. Cody probably knew as well...Keanu was blaming himself for this...and that...that just wasn't right. Nobody was to blame here. "Tish. I don't need an accident to get the ladies," Coyly the lovebird closed his eyes and settled his arms behind his head. "Allready practically have to beat them off with a stick.." Oh Paxton, such the lair. "The crutches to don't bring much of a sexy factor...but you will get some pity Keanu." A lazy brown eye opened just in time for Paxton to flash a toothsome grin. "Not you have need for such a thing."
Cody:
"Either way." Cody glanced shortly to the door and kicked the sheets off of him with a snort, "Only girls we've been seein' are grumpy ol' nurses stuffin' gas masks over our faces whenever we so much as send a flamin' s**t out our backends." He glanced to the IV, throwing his legs over the side of the bed, "I'll go find some crutches, y'all figure out 'how tah get these needles out from under our skin, an' I say we make a run for it- naked back butt gowns an' all."
Keanu:
Keanu glared frostily at Paxton. Hadn't he learned ANYTHING!? "Paaaaxton..." the tone was slightly threatening. Which was a joke coming from someone who couldn't even stand yet. "What have we discussed?" It was probably pointless. The lovebird just wouldn't change. Though the fact he'd drug him into this. "And I don't want anyones pity. Nor should it matter if they like me in that way or not. Thinking someone looks nice has nothing to do with love." He was probably taking it all too seriously, but since when did he take treating ladies well as a joke? "And do I need to remind you that you can't see them like that. It's wrong!" Oh, but it was pointless. And obviously there was a better thing to spend time on. He glanced at Cody at the mention of escape. Butt gowns... what a smashing term. "You pull them out. Simple as that." Yep, that was still his way of dealing with things. Even if he was using his head.
Paxton:
A roll of the eyes. Oh dear, Keanu was going on about the true love speech again? ...At least that's what Paxton had named it. An impatient sigh followed along with some meaningless chatter. "Yeah, yeah, sounds good---wait! What?!" Suddenly, Paxton's blood pressure rose a couple of notches. No, no. There was no possible way he had heard that correctly. Knocking his head to the side, the lovebird began to wonder if he had a particularly nasty chunk of ear wax imparing his hearing. Escape? Oh for heavans sake...he hadn't heard wrong, plane as day Cody was working on getting up out of bed. Hadn't...hadn't the fools learned anything? "Where are you going?" The lovebird nearly managed to roll himself out of bed as he scrambled over to the side. "Ow--god damn--Get back here!"
Kat:
As if on cue, a knock echoed through the room, the door slowly slippin gopen before a responce could come. The usual 'hey i'm coming in' knock, they'd probably be used to it by now. Following it, a familiar purple haired teacher's face poked around the corner, giving a raised brow to the current situation that greeted her. "And where might you be going?" she offered with a smile as her body followed, a large backpack draped over one shoulder, and a more suspicious glance to Cody, the boy she'd known to excape her classroom several times. She'd had to upgrade all her locks thanks to him. So with a more serious look she continued "You'll want to stay in bed, alright? I know it's hard, but trust me, you don't want to lose anything else."
Cody:
"I've had 'bout enough o' sittin' on my a**!" He snorted, reaching for the IV, "An' th' food 'round 'ere stinks, I've memorized all th' infomercials on th' station. See? I can get up all myself, they can too-they're jus..." he looked over towards the others, "Uh...they jus' got up's all." He looked back to the nurse, "Ya best be lettin' us outta 'ere."
Keanu:
The leopard was starting to swing his legs to the side of the bed, careful with the still injured one. Wasn't being shot in the lung enough. Insult to injury as the saying went. He'd only managed that much when Kat knocked peeked in. Both ears feel. Once again thwarted. Lose more? He sighed, letting his head tilt slightly to one side. "I can walk with crutches. There really isn't anything to do in here, Miss Kat." He was at least a bit more sort of just... sucked your life away. It was that boring. "I'd like to go out and see the snow, it's snowing right?" He recalled seeing something about the weather on theTV. "I hated the summer, and it stands to reason the snow must be nice if it's nothing like summer." He sighed. Maybe she'd listen because he sounded reasonable?
Paxton:
Was the situation going from worse to better, or better to worse? Frankly the love bird couldn't tell. Mentally and physically exausted the boy leaned himself over the cold metal frame of his hospital bed post. At least it was Mis. Kat? ...From his younger years Paxton could barely remember the teacher, but what little he did she was nice...very clam. Perhaps she would help? ...Or not? 'Thwack' Went Paxton's head against the post. 'Thwack, smack, thwack' "Shoot me...shoot me now..." he most quitely mujmbled under his breath. The last thing he wanted was for Cody or Keanu to hear that ...it was a tasteless comment. "Hi mam..." Paxton offered a meek and mumbled welcome to the teacher, as he tried to join sides by Cody and Keanu. "Yeah the snow...we wanted to see it?" He lied cautiously swinging a foot over the side of his bed. Oh god, when was the last time he had walked? Ah well, it didn't matter...Cody and Keanu were un-happy. His friends were suffering...he could give a little, if only for their happiness.
Kat:
"Would you like to be completely blind then?" She snapped back to the bull, a suprising turn of attitude in comparison to the constant cheer that seemed to dwell around the woman. But with a shake of her head, and a smile to replace the frown that had jumped to her expression, she shut the door behind her. "You can't get out anyways, they decided to lock it... And that's why I'm here, I figured you'd all be bored. I brought some things to do..." Her smile widened some passing a glance to paxton first, then keanu, she gave a nod. "Well we could open the blinds... you might see some snow fall! And in alittle while you'll all probably be well enough to head out to see it." she added reassuringly. "But for now you have to stay here, we barely kept you alive as it is you know..." her smile remained, but her voice ebbed with a bit of saddness. "But lets see what we've got! I brought board games, some books, movies, I rented alot of this stuff because I know you guys are a bit too old for my normal." She shifted, dropping the backpack down to the floor to begin pulling out various entertainment things their age, and more suited for their intrests. Though that had been a bit difficult... Really, finding something that entertained a super hero, a cowboy, and a romantic?
Cody:
Cody fell back onto his rump with a loud snort around the nosering, meant to sound just as angry and incompliant as ever. "They're called BORED games for a reason, books are about as 'citin' as countin 'how many bits o' fuzz are hangin' offa our bums, an' I betcha I've seen every last one o' them movies buncha times over...an' Paxton's got a headache anyway, thinkin' too much or too much sounds is gonna make it worse. Cody lifted his chin though...yeah he would like to sit and watch some good old shooting and roping- but for the sake of being stubborn he'd act otherwise. That and really he'd rather not watch cowboys being all manly and cool with his a** hanging out of a paper robe.
Keanu:
Keanu frowned at the comment. No getting out then. He sighed slightly, glancing at the window. He hated to be indoors... flopping on the ground outside would have been splendid. Instead he was stuck in here like always. The same old 'oh you'll be well soon' thing. Like that did him any good right now. "Why'd they lock it?" He asked, idly rocking ont he bed to get rid of some of the pent up energy. He was partially contemplating just trying to stand up and open the curtains himself. But that might not end well. He frowned further at the comment of alive. That once more brought up the guilt of almost getting his friends killed. Never again... he'd protect them. He didn't bother to look back as she began to list off what she had. He never did any of that stuff. What he did was things outside, which he obviously wasn't allowed near at the moment. All he got was to stare out the window and brood. Which truly didn't suite him, but there wasn't much else to do. Still, best to be polite. She was trying to do them a favor. "It was nice of you to go out of your way and think of us." But he'd rather be outside.
Paxton:
The love bird blinked once, twice...and then withdrew his foot back into bed. Well...at least he would be saving himself the embarasment of trying to move.
naitokurab: Ah, so foiled again? How did it always seem to work out that way. No matter what the three did they were always stopped. No...not three, two. Paxton was just along for the ride. Hmn, so now what? What was that phrase snot nosed brats usually said just to be well...a bother? "Whatever." A ruffle of bright feathers and Paxton was off staring into space. Yeah...'whatever,' he was fine with that. Paxton was fine with just about anything now. Maybe another nap was in order...or maybe he needed to find that pillow he had thrown earlier and just smother himself allready. ...Naw, that would be far to simple.
Kat:
"They're called board games because they're flat like boards." She corrected, with a 'isn't that interesting?' tone. Ofcourse she'd suspected they'd fight it tooth and nail, no one liked being couped up like this, she knew that from personal experience. "And I also have some video games, not many though... They're a bit too expensive." She nodded, sorting through the videos. Best to sooth Cody first, she reasoned the squeaky wheel got the oil as they say, if she could calm him down she could work on the rest. Not that it would happen any time soon, but it was a start. "Ah here, this ones newer, so maybe I'll get lucky!" She lifted the video up, moving over to the VCR to pop it in and let the credits start up. ofcourse she'd checked all the movies before hand as any good teacher would. Nothing too violent after what they'd been through, just good simple watching. "Because you all have a history of getting into trouble, and no one wants you hurt." She responded, moving away from the VCR now that it was doing it's job, and to the window, drawing back one side of the curtains to show the slightly icy window, gazing out into the parking lot. The windows were locked too ofcourse, and it was too high to get out of anyways. "And lets see..." she moved back to the bag, heading to Paxton last, the least of her worrys from what she'd read in the new reports, she took a seat on his bedside, placing the pack to her side. "I'll let you keep the bag." She informed him, lifting a hand to give an affectionate stroke of his hair like a mother might. Habit from being around toddler's all day perhaps.

Cody:
Cody folded his arms tightly accross his chest, plopping himself down in one of the seats to the waiting room. He'd recovered from much of his injuries save for, of course, the missing eye which now lay concieled under a solid black eyepatch. He had to take an eye test to make sure the other wasn't going out. He was able to wait in the waiting room with everyone else. Keanu still had a bit to recover from. "...tootin'...tarnation. "
Laesneniel:
Laesneniel sat in the seat two away from the bull child. Her arms were folded neatly in her lap and her hands nervously played with eachother. It was hard to be away from mommy, and to make things worse time seemed to move so slowly. Her tail curled aroun itself in response to the fingers nervouse twiching. It curled like a chameleons than wrapped around itself, and than repeated the steps again. Laesneniel looked over at the bull, only for a quic second, as he murmured his strange words.
Cody:
Cody shot a sharp glare over her way, snorting around the nosering he was only recently privlaged back to. An ear twitched a bit as he studied the girl next to him. "Ya got a problem?"
Laesneniel:
She shook her head rappidly and hummed. "n-no..." Her voice was just barly above a whisper.
Now she worried that she had offended this larger kid by looking at him. Twice and looked at his eye patch for more than two seconds. She had seen a picture of someone with one of those in a pirate book, he must be like one of them.
"I'm sorry..." She added as he looked back down at her twiching tail.
Cody:
"Nothin' tah be sorry ' bout if yer not meanin' nothin' by it." He looked forward again and crossed his legs over eachother, it bothered him that he couldn't keep an eye on the new kid out of the corner of his eye...she was a girl at least though.
Laesneniel:
Lae looked back at the bull kid. She'd have scooted forward to talk to him better, but as sercumstances would have it she had no legs to move with.
"are-" She paused and hesitated with the question a little, but the curiosity was too much. "- are you a pirate?"
Cody:
"Pirate!?" That got the little bull to his hooves, his tail snapping around behind him as he clopped his way over to stand in front of the little seahorse girl. "Naw girl do I look like some kinda ocean sailin' turkey? I-" He puffed his chest out and planted his hands on his hips, "I'm a cowboy little lady."
Laesneniel:
Immediately she curled up in the chair as he approached. She quickly covered her head and wrapped her tail around her arm, as wrapping her tail around something gave her a sense of security.
"I didn't know Pirates were 'turkeys'." She sqeaked. "What's a cow boy?" She peeked at him through her fingers.
Cody:
"Cowboys're only th' most manly men thar is. We're good wif guns an' ropes an' me an' Keanu is gonna be takin' out some punks that came up in 'ere an' roughed up th' boss." He snorted again, "An' what're you?"
Laesneniel:
Her hands lowerd and her tail let go of her arm. Slowly it wrapped around the leg of the chair. Her posture returned to what it was when they had first started to talk.
"Mommy says I'mma s-seahorse..." She smiled weakly as she looked up at him.
Cody:
"Seahorse...then yer th' pirate. More so' 'n I am." He chuckled, "I've seen a lot o' horses an you ain't nuffin' like th' ones on th' westerns n' all dat."
Laesneniel:
Her back fins wiggled a little when Cody chuckled. She was yet again relieved that she had not offended him. "But I don't look like the pirates in the books." She pointed herself.
"Do you have books on cowboys and westhorses?" She asked as she leaned a little forward in her chair.
Cody:
"Naw, I don't like tah read nuffin. I got movies an' pictures. Dat kinda stuff but I gotta get m'self released from this place a'fore I can show 'em again." He tipped his hat back a bit, "What'cher name lil' missy?"
Laesneniel:
"Lea-s-nen-iel." She struggled a little with the name.
Cody:
"Mind iffI jus' go 'head an' call ya 'Lea'? Shorter tah say an I'm none tah good wif big words jus yet mind." He took his hat off and held it off to the side, "Name's Cody."
Laesneniel:
Lea nodded. It was much easier to say and it didn't sound bad either.
"Cody is easy to say." Her smile widened.
Cody:
"Mos cowboy names are. Short an' simple an' easy tah scream out." He smirked a bit. A dirty joke he'd learned from one of the movies he'd seen. Didn't quite understand it but what matter was it. Winter always chuckled when it was said.
Laesneniel:
Lae chuckled. "Cowboys do a lot of screamng?" She tilted her head to the side.
Cody:b
"Naw we don't, th' ladies do. We make all kindsa other sounds. Shootin' an ropin', and all dat kinda stuff." He sat himself down next to Lea.
Laesneniel:
Lae turned her head so she could keep an eye on Cody. "Oh, they must be very popular!" With more he said the more excited she got about Cowboys. "Can you show me shutn' and ropn' and cowboy stuff?" She tried to saound like he did as that was the first time she had heard those terms and figured that was how they they were properly said. Speech was still a little tough for her.
Cody:
"Naw not right now, lil' lady." He chuckled, returning his hat to his head, "I ain't got no guns yet. Too young." He tapped the eyepatch, "An' even if I did I'd not be able tah wow ya much none... can't see quite straight no more."
Laesneniel:
"Oh." She looked down at her tail briefly before looking back at Cody. "I still wanna see it, when your not too young." She pointed to his good eye. "Thats a good one right? and if your a cowboy you can do it right?" She was proud that she was able to come up with that logic by herself.
Cody:
His ears went back a bit, "I recken so... gotta get in some practice. They got me rottin' 'ere like a steamin' cow pie waitin' fer some more tests a'fore I can get outta 'ere an' get on with my life."
Laesneniel:
"I can ask my mommy if you can come to my house and wait for your mommy. I don't think we..'rot cowpies' there..."
Cody:
"Naw, I can't go no where till th' hospital says I'mma be alright. Feel fine, look fine... they think my other eye might go out on me too. Much o' what they're doin' now's jus' makin' sure I don't get no worse. Me an' mah possie gonna be outtah here right as rain."
Laesneniel:
Lae nodded slowly, than paused and looked around. "What can I see your possie?" She got a mental immage of a strange rodent-like creature.
Cody:
"They're still in th' hospital room. Paxton got all knocked round all rough like an' Keanu got a bit o' lead stuck up in 'is chest an' knee. Got th' worst of it outta th' three of us. Fightin' some baddies." He put up his fists, "We're gonna get 'em an do 'em up like they did us."
Laesneniel:
"I hope you get "'em"..." She looked down at her tail again. "I don't like mean people..."
Cody:
"They took out th' boss 'ere at D'corp. Guy made all th' kids I reckon an' it's jus' not right tah go round splodin' people like that. Gotta do somethin' bout it or no one will."

Winter came an' got me up around nine this mornin'. Been findin' it harder to get up these days 'cause of reoccuring headaches. The guys down at the corp say I gotta keep takin' headache pills an' gettin' lots of water an' sleep. Don't got no problem with that 'cept when I actually wanna go outside. Winter tanned my hide after I came to in the hospital. I'll never get it. I went and did somethin' all cool and she came down on me like a crazed dog on a limp-legged rabbit. Wasn't fair in my opinion. Then I got grounded. Been wastin' a lot of time in my room in bed. Sleepin' an' watchin' TV. Havn't been able to get ahold of Keanu or Paxton. I know they're doin' all right an' fine an' all but it's not the same not bein' able to sit an' talk like we should be doin'. Specially since we gotta start layin' out some plans to gettin' those guys back and hittin' the gym so we're ready next time. Winter promised to get me hooked up in a gym so long as I behaved.
I promised to stop hittin' Edan when he mouthed off to me. Seemed to make her happy enough. Besides, Edan went and bought me a pellet shot gun to practice with from what he gets at his work. Granted- he works in a flourist shop and that in itself deserves a good whoopin' but I think I can forgive him this once.
Anyway, I got myself up and Winter took me down to the Corp. They got a phone call about my egg. Turned out it was a late bloomer but when I got there, few minutes after the little goldy omelette hatched out into a big ol' copper dragon kid. Okay so he's not as big as Keanu or even Paxton's dragon, just a baby an' not at all big enough to start ridin' but he's still mine. Decided to go ahead and name him "Tex". It's manly, tough, short, an' easy to remember. He seems to like it well enough.
Winter seemed to lighten up after that, said that keepin' a dragon would help make me responsable or somethin' like that. She decided we'd all loosen up with a good ol' fashion BBQ. Thankfully the corp's providin' enough money to keep ol' Tex fed so we didn't have to worry much about him- though he does seem to like ketchup. Edan was pretty mad that he didn't get any on his hot dog but spicey mustard's better anyway.
Soon as I can slip off or get Winter's okay on gettin' out of bein' grounded (Whichever comes first) I'm gonna go show Tex off to Keanu and Paxton, they'll be right proud of me.

"I don't know if it's my kind of place...", Edan glanced up to the large sign facing them atop the massive stone building. Just those three letters, innocent enough by themselves, brought a chill down his spine when put together. He looked over to his older brother, imploring him in vain to perhaps... opt for a nice trip to the ice cream shop instead.
There was no compromise on the bull's face. Only an almost twisted grin, "Ya need it more'n I do. Winter got us a junior membership 'ere fer my birthday an' I'll be damned if I don't go an' make best use o' it."
"But I don't want to go here... I don't like people watching me run or-"
"Jus' put on yer headphones." Cody rolled his eye, "'cides yer all skinny. Shouldn't be runnin' anyway. Ya can help me lift weights. Be my spotter an' we'll switch so ya got a turn on the bench."
"Weights?!" Edan took an involuntary step backwards, only to have Cody's grip on his wrist.
"Yer comin." Cody said sharply, stomping himself forward with an unwilling Edan in tow. "Ya gots noodle arms an' legs. If ya get in a fight down at'cher....flower shop..." He almost gagged that out, "Then you'd get'cher candy a** handed right back tah ya."
"A fight?!" Edan gave up dragging and decided just to walk along after Cody, taking a moment to glance around. The front room was kind of like a commons area. There were vending machines full of healthy foods. Rice cakes, power bars, that liquid goo energy stuff... even the soda machines were full of power drinks. Power this, power that, energy whatever... All of it made Edan's gut turn. It was a pleasant enough set-up. Full of merchandise from the gym, water bottles, tank tops for both men and woman, yoga mats... though Edan's spirits did lift a bit at both the sight and smell of a pool. Swimming he could handle...
Cody however gave a sharp snort as he followed his brother's gaze out towards the water pit. Edan knew all too well that Cody was absolutely terrified of water. Even in the bath he got a bit on-edge and resorted to taking showers. Winter had to buy a special mat so his hooves didn't slide around and make the boy topple over in all his naked and soapy glory. It was something that Cody refused to talk about...even to him.
The bull boy pulled Edan right up to the front desk and flashed both their id's. The man nodded and jerked a thumb towards the locker rooms. Cody smirked and continued on down the hallway with Edan still in his grip. "Now ya gotta change in front of a buncha guys, but guys are guys and they know th' man code."
"The man code?" Edan blinked, he'd never heard that one before... though part of him knew he shouldn't asked. It meant another one of Cody's off-the-wall lectures on made up or rumored theories he had.
"Yeah... ya gotta know it a'fore ya go in there." Cody pulled Edan around to face him, "Ya can't go lookin' at nothin' below the waistline. Thas rule one. If ya do, yer gay an' every big manly guy in there'll kick yer a**. No gay guys join no gyms fer a reason."
"You'd think that'd give them more of a-"
Cody stomped his hoof right on top of Edan's foot, "NONE here!"
Edan yelped and gave his brother a compliant nod. Lords the boy had a temper.
"Second." Cody continued sharply, "When ya gotta go to th' tank ya always stand one apart from th' other guy. Even if ya gotta go real bad and there's one guy at every other tank ya gotta wait or yer gay."
"Is this written down somewhere?"
"No one writes down th' man code Edan..." Cody groaned, "No wonder yer helpless. I'm gonna man you up right, hear?"
"I don't know about this, Cody..." Edan protested weakly as he was pulled right into the locker room. Thankfully the two had it pretty much to themselves. It was cleaner than Edan had pictured it. Just a small room with a few walls of lockers, benches, there were showers, a mirror, and of course- the bathroom. There was only a pair of guys sitting in their towels debating hitting the sauna before going home.
Cody pulled Edan right over to one of the lockers, "Ya keep yer s**t in these things." Cody pointed out, "The key ya got has a combination an' number tah yer locker. Jus' get intah yer work-out clothin' an' put everythin' else in the locker."
"...alright..." Edan sighed. Cody nodded and went about getting himself dressed down. A pair of thick sweat pants and a tank shirt complete with arm bands around his wrist. Edan had just a simple pair of shorts and a white t-shirt. Cody didn't seem to approve or disapprove either way so he took it as a good sign.
"Do I really have to lift weights?"
"Course ya do." Cody came up behind Edan and gave him a sharp thump on the back, "We'll spend three hours liftin', then go sit in the sauna tah sweat it off, then do one more hour...then if ya want we can do some runnin' tah cool off."
Edan paled visably. There went the entire day, Sunday too...his day off and he'd be spending it sweating, lifting, sweating some more, and running around surrounded by a bunch of guys that were likely as enthusiastic about fitness as Cody was. "...I don't know if I can handle that much."
"Ye'll thank me later." Cody gave Edan a sharp shove out towards the weight room. There were a few exits from the locker room- one into the pool area, there was an area for the sauna, one took them out to the gym where the weights and exercise equipment was, and another to the rooms for like yoga and all that- it was likely Cody would never set hoof in that room.
"M... maybe I can teach you to swim?" Edan's suggestion was answered only with a sharp rap to the back of his head. Guess not.
"Alright, we'll start easy." Cody walked his way over to the sets of hand weights, selecting a pair of larger ones for himself. He couldn't manage the 50's just yet- still being young and fairly small. But the 20's seemed a decent enough work out. He eyed Edan critically as the boy reached for a set of 5's.
"Naw Edan... ya can do more than that!"
"I can't! I'm going to start small okay?" The boy protested, thankfully Cody seemed to let it go.
"Fine fine." Cody shrugged and stepped his way over to a bench, pumping the weights up and down, "Ya gotta work 'em like this. There should be a pull up here."
"How do you know? It's your first time here."
Cody looked up from his work out, "I watched th' tv fer research a'fore comin'. That's how."
"Lovely..." Edan sighed and took a seat for himself, doing his best to imitate how Cody was lifting the weights. Only five pounds but after twenty sets his arms were getting quite tense. "How many?" Edan looked up, already having broken into a sweat.
Cody was working up a bit of his own moisture, snorting and grunting as he continued to pump, "Dunno. Lost count a while back. I'm jus' gonna keep goin' till I wanna try somethin' else."
"Lost count!?" Edan puffed. Cody shot him a dangerous glare.
"I don't sit an' do no countin'. I go till I don't wanna or I can't go no more. Countin's no good. I can't focus on nothin' if I gotta think on numbers too."
Edan shook his head, slowly lowering his weights down to the floor. He knew Cody wasn't the brightest bulb in the box, far from stupid, but he didn't do very well when he had to stretch his attention and thoughts too many ways. Edan, however, prided himself in doing just that. While counting, for instance, he began making a mental list of things he had to do before opening.

Laerwen:
Laerwen was far too busy to take care of Laesneniel. Previous arangements had been made for her to spend the day with Cody, which was fine because Lae had been wanting to see the cow boy for a while now. She had drew him a picture for his birthday and made him a necklace with wagon tire macaroni noodles. She was excited. Laerwen knocked on the door to her sisters place. Lae was sitting eagerly in her wheel chair. Her tail curled around the handles. There were several bags with things Lea needed for the day in a cowbly decorated backpack haning on the back of the chair.
Edan:
The door opened shortly after the knock to a young boy with silver hair pulled back into a tight braid. It was hard to believe he'd even be in the same house as Cody with how properly he dressed himself, though the tussled hair and kind of winded look justified it enough, "Can I help you?"
Laerwen:
"I made previous arangements for Lea to spend the day at your house while I did a few erronds. Is Winter around?" Older Lea asked as she eyed the little boy. At first she though that this was the infamous Cody... just after a good schooling.
Lae:
Lea leaned into her chair a bit more when the stranger emmerged from the door. Her tail curled around her arm as she resumed defense postion number 2 - ball manuver.
Edan:
Edan looked over to the small seahorse girl, "Ooh yes... Winter went to work. Someone called in sick. I'm in charge but she said to expect you." He moved away from the door and held it open. The living room was a bit of a mess- on the couch Cody was sprawled watching one of his favorate westerns.
Laerwen:
Leawren wheeled Lea into the house as soon as it was possible. She leaned over and gave her some "be nice" and dos and don'ts talking before turning back to the silver haired lad.
"She really is a good girl. Just make sure she gets a bath or a sprey down every hour. Her skin needs moisture. If you have any other questions she should be able to help. I also left a list in her bag."
Cody:
Cody tipped his head back a bit, glancing to the doorway as the pair came in. He smirked a bit in cruel amusement at the small list of 'care' that the girl needed. "I'll take 'er out back an' give 'er a good hose down. Don't'cha worry."
Edan:
"Cody we have a guest." Edan frowned a bit, folding his arms over his chest, "Winter expects you to be on your best behavior."
Cody:
Cody threw his arms up, "I am!"
Laerwen:
Lea looked over at Cody briefly before focusing back on Edan. "Thank you again." She bowed respectfully than quickly walked out of the door.
Lea:
Lea looked up from her ball a few moments after Cody finnished speaking. "Hi Code!" She waved enthusiastically. Her smile widening ear to ear.
Cody:
Cody tipped his hat a bit, "Howdy. Good tah see you again. Got'cher cripple chair eh?" He chuckled, ignoring the dangeorus glare Edan shot him as he stood himself up, "How long ya in fer?"
Edan:
"The day." Edan cut in, "And we're the oldest ones here, we're expected to be responsable."
Lea:
Lea rolled her self closer to Cody. Before she could answer Edan spoke. Her head lilted a bit so she could see over the chair while he was talking. "Yeah." She wasn't sure what cripple meant, but if Cody said she had one, than she did.
"Hey, I made you a birtday present." She moved her head and at back right in her chair.
Cody:
"...yew did?" Cody blinked, looking a bit embarassed. He'd spent his birthday in the hospital, never a fun thing. Of course Keanu and Paxton had made it a decent enough day anyway. "Ya didn't haftah you know..."
Edan:
Edan chuckled a bit, "Well I'll make us some lunch." He moved over into the kitchen but kept within sight of the two...Cody had been showing a bit more...interest in girls lately.
Lae:
"I wanted to. " She giggled as she spun around to fetch her bag. "It took a bizzilion hours and string."
Cody:
"Bigger'n I can count." Cody admitted, reaching over to retrieve the girl's bag for her. "Tarnation girl if yer gonna be in that thing ya gotta learn how tah get 'round it."
Lea:
Lea accepted the bag and immediately begun to go through it.
"It's not hard... and you can go realy fast cause of the wheeles!" She laughed as she picked up the drawing and the wagon wheel noodle necklace and held them up. Lea was un aware that Cody probably knew that and has most likely experimented on hills with others in 'cripple chairs.'
"Happy birtday."
Cody:
Cody took the necklace slowly and looked it over, smiling a bit. "Well das gotta be the dun right purdiest thing I got this year." He chuckled, ruffling Lae's hair a bit, "Ya wanna help me get it on? Mah horns are kinda tricky.
Lae:
"Sure." Lea smiled as she set down the picture and held the necklace with both hands. She squinted and gigled a bit as her hair was ruffed.
Cody:
Cody got down on the couch again, dipping his head, "Careful now, them things is dangerous. Punch a hole in th' walls if yer not careful."
Lae:
Carefully Lea spread her arms as wide as they could go. The horns were just too long for her reach.
"Okay." She nearly whispered as she put the necklace over one horn than worked on getting it over the other. It was long enough. Leawren told her that she would have to make a long one. And it was just barely able to make it.
"there." She said with much satisfation.
"... do you do that to bad walls?" She had to ask as teh curiosity overcame her small child mind.
Cody:
Cody helped out as much as he could. His horns weren't that large just yet- but for a toddler's arms they might have seemed massive. "Nah, Jus' got excited too much once when I went to work with Winter. Dat was a'fore Edan came tah live'ere after he lost his dad." He nodded towards the kitchen, "Charged a wall an' got a horn stuck in it."
Lae:
Lae was glad to have gotten the help with the necklace. Afterward she sat back and listened to what Cody had to say. "That's sad..." her lips arched downward a bit. It was sad for both of them.
"It's good the wall let go." And she didn't know how to comment about Edan loosing his Dad. She never had one, but Learwen said that they were special.
Cody:
"Eh, he's a wussy boy. Works in a flower shop. But don't'cha worry none, I been takin' 'em tah th' gym. Winter got us a membership there. Ya should get one too. I talked to a kid looked just like you do- only a boy. Taught him tah pull 'emself up a slide. Ya don't got no legs so you use what'cha got."
Lae:
"Wow..." Lea smiled again. "I won't." Another just like her, but a boy! That sounded exciting. "I can't cimb up a slide, but I can swim really good. Learwn says thas why I have no feet. Cause I swim... but can you teach me to climb up a slide too?" The idea of a gym and climbing things got her excited, and this reflected in her bright eyes. Climbing things in water was fun, but in the air had to be a blast! Because Cody said so...
Cody:
Cody winced a bit as she brought up swimming. Never...he'd never be caught dead near water. Ever. "Uh...yeah I can go up a slide. Gotta use mah knees an' arms though 'cause my hooves slip 'round on th' slide." He chuckled a bit, "But I can teach ya at th' park sometime."
Lae:
Lea nodded. "An, maybe you can go swimming with me too?"
Cody:
Cody snorted sharply, "I won't be caught dead in th' water less it's a shower."
Lae:
Lea curled up a bit once Cody snorted. Her tail wrapped around her arm.
"W-why's that?" SHe whispered afraid she had already said something wrong.
Cody:
Cody frowned a bit, glancing over towards then kitchen then back, "...there's some things I can't do. Ya can't walk, I can't swim."
Lae:
Lea wondered if they made chairs for people who couldn't swin, like they made ones for people who couldn't walk.
"Well, okay... I'm sorry Cody." She burried her nose in her tail.
"I won't talk about it, I promise..."
Cody:
"Jus' don't let it get out. I'm not supposed tah not be not good at somethin'." he ruffled her hair again and stood himself up. Edan was walking into the room with a large plate of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches- complete with two glasses of milk. Cody winced a bit. Damnit..he had to get milk.
Lae:
Lea smiled and uncurled herself as Cody ruffled her hair.
"You're good at everything... w-" She cut herself off as Edan walked into the room. "It's just not good enough for you." She corrected and held up the picture for him so he could see it.
Blade GunSniper: Seeing the milk and pbn'j made her smile even more, good stuff.
Cody:
Cody chuckled, seating himself on the floor. Winter had allowed them to eat lunch on the coffee table in the living room so that's what they planned on doing, "Darn tootin'. Work hard tah do so. I'll train ya up good."
Edan:
"Now now, none of that until she's old enough." Edan set the plate down and offered Lae a glass of the milk and took the other for himself. "By the way, my name is Edan. It's good to meet you."
Lae:
Lea accepted the milk with both hands and a "thanks." She finnaly looked at Edan with a smile, but her tail still curled around it'self. She just wasn't used to new people.
"I'm... Laesneniel" She struggled with the name a little.
Edan:
"Lovely name. Very fitting for such a refined little lady." Edan smiled softly and began dipping his sandwich delicately into the milk. Cody grumbled a bit off to the side- Edan was always the charmer in the family.
Lae:
Lea smiled as she said; "Thank you." She than sipped some milk and looked over to Cody. How come he didn't get any milk? She held her glass out to him. " You want mine?" She wasn't aware of the whole bull rule about milk and she really didn't know that cows were the same thing as a bull.
Cody:
"Naw I don't want any, thanks." His ears pinned back a bit. It was akward... a lot of things the family ate he wouldn't The closest to meat he'd have was perhaps a plate of scrambled eggs or something of the sort.
Lae:
She took the cup back and sipped a bit more of it. He must have been scared of it like he was scared of water... Or he was too good for it. Either way she would not ask again. She looked at the milk, it was still good though.

Frustrated by his half-blindness, Cody takes his newly-acquired pellet gun to the park to practice shooting jars and cans on a fence in complete disregard of park rules. Roulette, however, highly disapproves of such behavior and attempts to make a stand against the little bull. However, he claims he's looking for a way to toughen himself up....
You walked into that one Roulette.

Cody:
Summer was slowly fading into fall, it was hard to miss the chill in the wind, the leaves underfoot, and the almost constant over cast. Cody really didn't care for the weather, it meant he was stuck indoors to keep warm. Winter had bought him a membership to the local gym instead of subjecting the apartment to Cody's...growing destructive nature. The closet had lost nearly all its hanger rods to chin-ups, the chairs were constantly being turned into weights, and Edan was growing tired of escorting Cody to the track. Afterall, he had to work.
However, working out was kind of dull alone. Keanu wasn't exactally ready for that kinda thing...nor did he really need it. Not when compared to most unfortunate of the trio.
"HAAAAY PAX!" Cody slammed his hoof into the door a few more times, "I know yer home!"
Paxton:
"It's for you," the calm looking blue eyed Roo child mumbled before biting into an apple. Paxton only sighed and rolled his eyes, "Of course it's for me." There was no mistaking the voice he heard behind he door...Cody. It had been months since he and Cody had gotten a chance to hang out together, not really since their lost hospital stay had they had a good chat, and Paxton was still mad at him for creating such a fuss back then.
"You can go Eva," he smiled brushing the blond hairs of the younger kid aside. "I'll take care of the unwanted guest--" that said Paxton shoved the Eden child out of the way. Cody was Paxton's friend and thus, his responsibility to shoo away.
Before the bull child could get another kick in at the door Paxton had swung back the front hinges, "Yes Cody, I'm here," the bemused looking lovebird hissed as he quickly stepped outside shutting the door behind him. Like Cody Paxton had been noticing the cold whether as well, and he too was not happy about it. The cold wasn't Paxton's thing and it showed in the many layers of sweaters and scarves he had on. He tried not to sound too upset, but he couldn't help feel that there was only some terrible reason for Cody to be here, "What do you want?"
Cody:
"What'd I want!?" The bull snorted, looking genuinely hurt and maybe a bit confused from the comment. He comes all the way down here, ditching out on Edan, jumping through a window, and made a mad dash down the street for Paxton's place and this is how he treated him!? "Well howdo'ya like that..." He snorted, shaking his head. "I don't see ya fer months since ...well ya know... I thought we'd get in some good ol' fashioned male bondin."
He reached down into the large gymbag he'd set on the ground, tossing out a pair of sweats and a t-shirt, "Suit up! I got'cha a guest card down in th' gym. We're gonna get all worked out, watch girls run on th' treadmils, an' get some good reps in. Lookitcha! Yew've been sittin on yer a** this whole time havn't ya?"
Paxton:
In the back of his head there came the slight buzz, a premonition to the headache that would soon follow. "Mng, I haven't been sitting on my a**..." no, Paxton had been busy all summer, ever since he had gotten out of the hospital all he had been doing was trying to get his life back in order., and that wasn't really working at all. No, this whole summer he had been helping take care of the house, doing odd jobs to pay for food...things that most teenagers didn't have to deal with.
"Cody...I have a bunch of siblings to take care of..." Heh, now he was just making excuses, was he? Couldn't he here the hurt in Cody's voice? Still...people should call ahead! That's what phones were for right. And the gym? Paxton...Paxton didn't go to gyms he just....
"....You really want me to go?" There was a twinge of regret as he asked the question. Ma' after all had asked him to watch over the house for a while she and Yahto went to work things out. Then again, Tsukasa was always around to watch the children. It wouldn't hurt if Paxton went out for a bit?
Cody:
"Naw, I just showed up at'cher place tah tell ya I was goin' tah th' gym. Ya know all dat moral support crap an' all." Cody rolled his eye and gave a heavy snort around his nose ring, "'course I want'cha tah go with me. Gotta work out with a partner ya know. Das what they said on th' workout video Edan got me. An' lookitcha! Ya could use it. Gonna use yer chest an' shoulders tah fly yeah? Gotta get it in shape or yew'll cramp like ya can't believe."
Paxton:
"Thanks..." was all Paxton could retort at Cody's all too brutal honesty. Frankly, no matter how the bull said it, the lovebird just wasn't going to understand it. He didn't want to, which on its own, was reason enough why the words coming out of Cody's mouth made no sense. "I guess I'll just have to come," he half-assedly mumbled, deciding that looking at an empty hallway was much better than having to make eye contact. "Give me a minute and I'll be back, or your welcome to come inside too," of course he said the latter with less enthusiasm, when Cody entered homes things tended to become broken.
That said and done, Paxton darted upstairs to get dressed, found the other adult in the house and notified poor Tsukasa that he would be leaving, and finally returned to where he hoped Cody would be patiently waiting.
Cody:
Cody was in the front of Paxton's house. One look at to his hooves and he decided it was likely the best way to go. They were dirty and often tracked into his own home. It drove winter and Edan insane. Amir could care less really, the pink retard was always in a daze anyway or locked up in his room doing yoga.
Which reminded him- "Hey Paxton, ya should come tah yoga class with me." He smirked a bit.
Paxton:
He probably looked a bit silly, Paxton now realized, standing next to Cody. Even with the age differences aside it was astonishing to see the bird and the bull together. Paxton a lanky thin figure, next to well...Cody, really now, why was his friend even bothering to drag Paxton the gym?
"Yoga?" Another question, why was Cody (of all people) bringing up yoga. "Why should I come? You know me...I'm not one for physical activities. I get plenty of exercise flying and walking on my own. Group classes...pah." Sure, Cody could get him out of the house this time...but it wasn't going to work next time! Hevan forbid this become a habit. No, no, Paxton had no intention of making this a weekly ritual or anything. In fact, he should probably start finding something else to take up his time, yeah, a better excuse.
Cody:
Cody glanced over with a familiar smirk. Paxton would know that look. They shared similar expressions when a lady walked by in something that left little to the imagination or had the appropriate curves to them.
"Oh I dunno.... a room full o' thin, curvy girls stretchin' themselves all across tarnation far as they can go in tight suits. They got their eyes closed too! Ya can stare all ya want."
Paxton:
Oh? So it was something like that, was it? Geeze, what an animal, Cody always had his mind on girls. Perhaps it was the DNA that had been giving to him, or perhaps he was a bit more like Paxton in that sense. That was one thing Paxton enjoyed about Cody, he could talk girls with the boy. If he tried to do it with Keanu...heh. Perhaps in the grand scheme of things, something as petty as who you liked was trivial. But Paxton was at that age where it said, 'no...it's not so trivial', he felt he could relate to things better in a physical manner, too.
"Now that's just barbaric..." though, he only said the statement half heartedly.
Cody:
"Aw naw you'd think that...but when about twenty girls are facin' with their back to ya an' slowly bending over in...tight...tight...tiiiiiight suits..." He sent a friendly punch into Paxton's arm. "C'mon Pax, 's yer kinda gig! I can't tell Keanu about it! He'd get all up in mah face an' give me th' talk."
Paxton:
"Yea..." for a minute there was a dreamy look on Paxton's face, something akin to a fat kid with a slice of cake. The vision of those girls in tight suits, however, vanished along with the happy look on Paxton's face as he was punched in the arm. "Ow!" the love bird flinched, before flashing an evil eye in Cody's direction.
Barbaric, that was a good way to describe Cody all right, in actions and speech. Dejected and rather pissed, the lovebird rubbed at his arm...maybe, just maybe his friend would pick up the hint that he shouldn't play so rough. In the mean time, pleasing Cody with the current conversation would be the best way of saving himself. "Your right, your right...maybe I'll give it a shot. Maybe."
Cody:
"Ya don't get out much." Cody quirked an eyebrow at the lovebird. "C'mon Paxton. Ya got hurt once. What if them guys come back? Eh? Gonna be limp noodle or are ya gonna be ready fer 'em this time? They got away clean ya know. No one found 'em. An they wanted Alan dead. Ain't right. He made us an' all...."
He turned around the corner towards the main road and glanced either way. He seemed more wary since the incident. "I don't wanna see ya get waxed. Girly as ya are...yer a good guy."

Secret Santa!
“Why did you have to drag me along?” Edan grunted for the third time that day.
“’cause ya girly boys is good fer very few things. Shoppin, cookin’, and cleanin’.” Cody answered, same as before.
“You need to stop that.” Edan chided, glancing over towards his brother.
“Yeah, it’s not nice.” Amir agreed, “Edan just looks girly. Acts better than that one guy you hang with.”
“Paxton.” Edan nodded. “Good guy, but he’s got…pink on him.”
“What’s wrong with that?” Amir laughed and moved to the doorway, pulling it open for the two. “I bet this girl likes pink.”
“She’s our cousin’s kiddo.” Cody walked himself through the door into the mall and took a short glance around. It was crowded…disgustingly so. People were bustling in the hallways, lined up at the registers, and poking around in the now nearly bare sales racks.
“I think we should have come earlier.” Edan moved through the doorway as well, pausing to let Amir follow along behind him. “Way to wait till the last minute.”
“Ah’ve been busy.” Cody snorted and started to push himself through the mall. “Okay, I need some gift ideas.”
“Well first thing, you can be polite!” Edan grabbed onto Cody’s tail. It didn’t slow the bull down, rather it began tugging the Cortlin around behind him. Amir wasn’t one to be left behind and took himself a handful of Edan’s long braid, much to the boy’s discomfort.
The bull rolled his eye and continued to push forward, shoving someone here, pushing through a couple there. He obviously had very little regard for the spirit of the season. “Look, if we’re late on this Autumn’ll tan my hide an’ grill my a** up with a side of taters.”
“It’s good to see you’ve been working on your etiquette.” Edan gave a sharp yank back on the bull boy’s tail, “Hold on!”
Cody grunted and skidded to a stop and turned to give Edan a dangerous glare. “….let…go.”
“You’re shopping for a lady. Kat said to keep it cheap.” He pointed over towards one of the clothing shops. “They’re having a sale. You can get something nice for cheap… something that’s normally more spendy… you gotta learn to be a bit more of a gentleman.”
“Yeah.” Amir let go of Edan’s braid and came around to Cody’s front, “We can help you find something.”
“Fine fine.” Cody reached up to scratch behind one of his ears viciously. “You guys help me pick out somethin’ nice.”
“Very well. Something simple, remember.” Edan released his hold on Cody’s tail and walked himself in front of the small group. The store was one of the larger, more popular clothing stores. There was even an electronic section, a jewelry section, and a hardware section.
“This way.” Edan turned himself towards the jewelry and began looking through the rotating racks.
“Man, some of this stuff’s too spendy.” Cody wrinkled his nose and shook his head a bit.
“It’s on sale.” Amir tapped one of the signs. “See? Fifty percent. Find something that was twenty dollars. Then it’ll be ten dollars.”
“Tarnation, I dunno what she likes!”
“Well just find something that you think would look nice on her.” Edan rolled the rack around again, “Look here, seashell pendants.”
“Ohhh those are nice.” Amir moved over to look, “This one’s shaped like a dove.”
“She’s a lizard thing.” Cody moved over to inspect the pendants.
“Skink.” Edan corrected.
“Same difference.” Cody shrugged, eventually finding a small horse shoe shaped pendant. Smirking, he pulled it down, “Whaddabout that?”
“Cody… last I checked she wasn’t a cowboy.” Edan frowned a bit.
“It’s got good color though… and horse shoes are supposed to be lucky.” Amir compromised, taking the pendant to flip it over and check the price. “It was eighteen… so it’ll be nine dollars.”
“Perfect. Lucky an’ colorful. Not tah mention tasteful.” Cody swelled with his find and started towards one of the many lines filing in at the cash register.
“…I’ll go warm the car up.” Edan groaned and started for the door.
“You have your cell phone right?” Amir called after him.
Edan dipped a hand down into his coat and held up a small cell phone, not missing a beat as he walked himself from the store.
“Impatient lil’ turkey.”
“He’s a sheep to you know.” Amir grinned, “Two sheep and a lotta bull.”
~~~~
The three darted through the hallway, Amir occasionally had to reach over to pull Cody away from skidding himself into a wall. “C’mon! Deadline’s in two hours.”
“Two hours. No need to run!” Edan panted, falling in behind his two brothers. They had to stop to wrap it. Of course Edan had been stuck with that one as well. As a flouriest he had a bit of experience in making things look decent.
Cody skidded himself forward, dipping down to ram his shoulder into the doorway of Kat’s classroom. Amir slammed into him then Edan into them, creating a pile of groaning and swearing kids on the ground.
“There’s the drop-off!” Amir announced, pointing forward towards a large box already piled with gifts.
“Get… off…” Cody snorted, glancing up to the two boys sitting on his back.
“Oh right.” Edan sat himself up and pulled Amir back to his feet.
“Good thing about cutting’ it close. Mah gift’s on top.” He smirked, getting himself up from the ground.
“Yeah yeah… just drop it off.” Amir groaned, pulling bits of dust off his wool.
“Fine fine…” Cody dropped the little box on top of the pile, “Merry Christmas there, cous.”

In a plain white envelope with the name 'CODY' written on the front in big, bold accompanied by a short note were two tickets to a game of Lazer Tag. It was always a fun game for the gun enthusiast. The note contained within was as simple as the wrapping job: This is the closest one can get to legally shooting other people. Enjoy. Two tickets so take a friend... just not my girlfriend. Happy X-Mas.
