Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was a long silence in which Makie used to reflect on the festival. She met Oliver, Feena and Sakura there. She didn't deny what she said at the festival. About having a great time and that she was glad to have met them.I mean Oliver, he was childish, cute, fun and nearly always happy. Like Makie. But beyond that she could tell Oliver could have a face of an adult you could count on. And sometimes Makie would believe he was older.

She guessed that the reason why she was staring into Sakura's blue eyes. It reminded her of Oliver's. Of course that's what she did when she came. Stared into her eyes and think about him. Makie didn't quite know why. Maybe because he was the first friend she ever had. She heard Sakura's voice.

"Well, uh..." She hesitated. She went to many school's where she wasn't excepted. And sometimes people would think she was the one who killed her parents. But that was because Makie was the only there at her parent's side when they were killed. "I- There isn't anything I need to acomplish. Or something I want to suceed in. Just something I need to know... Why did you come to Ria?" Makie asked Sakura. But her soft blue eyes seemed to have fallen to the ground. Was it something she said? Maybe she didn't want to tell Makie why she came! 'Oh no! I hope I didn't hurt her feelings!' Makie thought.

"You don't have to tell me, if you don't want to." She said with a smile. Her hazel brown eyes stared at her. She didn't want Sakura to feel uncomfortable in any way. After all, Sakura and Oliver were the only two she could have a real conversation with at he momment. She didn't want to loose her friends.

Makie listened to Sakura Ai. She actually wanted to cry. That was so sweet. But as Makie listened, she daydreamed about Sakura. Picturing her as an angel, bringing every emotion down to Earth. Saving the day and riding the world of horrible beings out there. A soft smile spread across her face. She really liked talking to Sakura.

"Wow, that's beautiful. But I think you've already made part of that dream a reality." She nodded, as her smile grew bigger. "And I don't think it will be long before you reach that goal either." Then Sakura stood up. Then her soft blue eyes fell back on to hers. Makie did the same. She stood up as she wiggled her toes again to make sure they weren't asleep.

"Hmm, I dunno." She said. "But as long as I'm with you anywhere is good. I mean, you are my friend." Makie gave a reassuring smile. Makie still didn't explore the place to the fullest, but she did rather enjoy the Courtyard. By the big tree.

"Well I went to one place on my first day." She said. "It was the courtyard. And in the middle of it was a great big tree! It was amazing! We could relax and play something there!" Makie was actually thinking about playing tag, or hide and go seek, but she didn't know if Sakura liked those games. Makie also remembered there was a dance machine and an arcade around here. Maybe they could go there later.

Makie smiled as she tilted her head to the side. She could actually go play with some one! It was great! Maybe they could also play catch or maybe they could play a hand game. She enjoyed games like that. Games that wou could go run around or games that you could sit and laugh. She looked at Sakura's bag. It was adorable! She wish she had one like that!

"I love your bag. It's really cute!" She said smiling, then listening to Sakura. "Oh! Volleyball! That would be fun! Hey, do you like hand games? Like Miss Mary Mack?" Makie didn't notice Sakura twitch. As she closed her eyes and stretched out. Makie believed there were things like angels and demons out there. She thought it was cool.

Demons sounded like they were a misunderstood soul. And angels. Well the very fact of winged beings were amazing! Makie wished she had wings. She would fly around and take her best friends to the most beautiful places! Then she snapped out of it as she looked at the door. Sakura was holding it open for her.

"Oh, sorry!" She said going to the door. "And thank you!" She told Sakura as she passed through the door. To the courtyard! She couldn't wait to get there! Sakura was very nice and she was glad she had a chance to get to know her better.

((To the courtyard!))

Miko walked slowly through the halls. She glanced up and down the doors, glancing at the numbers and looking for a certain one that said, "Lounge Room." Strings of dark hair fell around her oval shaped face, and amber eyes flickered from the bright lamp swinging on a gold chain from the ceiling. The room finally came into view, and Miko started jogging to it, anxious to get in and see what it had in store for her. She walked in, and was the least bit surprised at what she saw. It was what you thought a lounge room would be, a small kitchen filled with junk food and soda, another open room with a few couches and a big screen t.v., and other small attatchment rooms. She grinned and walked toward the couch slowly. Glancing over the side, she saw no one. A mischievous smirk came over her face, and she leaped over the side, landing on the soft coushins with a soft thump. Her long teal skirt flowed through the air and rested in a twisted, yet moveable pattern on her long legs. She smiled and glanced around the room again, then glanced to the t.v. It was quite large, for Miko's standards at least. She reached behind her head, feeling a dull pain. She pulled out the remote and clicked a large green button. The t.v. turned on and blasted with screaming metal singers. She flinched violently and slammed the remote down, covering her ears. The remote crashed against the ground, and the t.v. shut off. She glanced up, her eyes wide and her mouth open slightly.

Joy stared dreamily at the bells as Matt turned after taking the herbs to start making the tea for the both of them. Joy ear twiched hearing Sakura Ai talk,but nto really paying attention.

Joy was still a cat demon as well a devil,a demon but a cat through and through. Meaning she had an had a addiction to catnip, balls of yarn, squeky mouse toys,and little jingling things,she hadn't confessed that she spent hours on end playing with the gold bell onj her yellow cat tail.

Joy batted playfully at the little bells with a clawed hand somehting that sounded very similair as a purr came deep from her throat,her eyes softening. It was only when Matt turned back around holding two elegant china teacups that had steamed herbal tea withen in them a cheerful smile on his face.Joy is so cute...is it just me or does it look like shes pregnant?No No..Joys not like that..is she? I could imagine someone wanting to take advantage of her..just.look at her. he sigehd softly holding out the two teacups to the girls.

"You two enjoy these okay?"Joy still batting at the silver bells dangling from Sakura Ai's long purple hair gonging like church bells. Nodding her head taking one teacup with her oone hand and the other with her tai,only practice let her do thatl. "Okies!!" Going back then to the busy job of getting at those bells.

Miko glanced up and watched people come toward the couch. Without thinking, she sat up and giggled. She had been taking up the entire couch, and she found that funny in a vain way, she was never one to be greedy or concieted, and yet, this made her look just that. She sat up and started swirling her hair in a bored way around her in index finger, too scared to turn the t.v. back on. gonk

Joy sat down beside her,being a bit dispointed that the bells went away though she didn't know where, looking inside the cup to try and tyring to make out the bottom. Squinting one green eye as if she had somthing in it peering deeply into the murky tea. "Hmm Joy heard that you can read your fourtune on the bottom of a tea cup. Nee waa..Joy can't see anything. " She sniffed the substance before tasting it,taking a large gulp as ir rolled down her throat smoothly. It was okay..she was never one much for tea,mago juice was more her favorite drink.

Joy eyes went over Sakura Ai's long gorgeouse purple hair,the deepest of violets it made her a bit jelouse with her own weird freaky green hair that made finding outfits very hard. Long green tresses flooded around them,making it look like they sat on one gaint lilly pad.

CRASH!! The cat girl's head whipped around to see a man crash a T.V her eyes exploded to the size of saucers seeing a boy she had never seen before smash the poor thing. Now Joy was a world known hacker and Technologist, and while bringing up a family of andriods she had come to believe anything that was technology had a ghost of a soul inside it. Hell she broke a remote cont once and buried it with a grave to top it all off .

Without a word to Ai Joy flung herself at the T.V pushing down Bombi in her long jump and hugging the tiped over T.V a long crack running across the glass. Joy rubbed her face agaisnt the side of the T.V, wailing liek a banshee. "T.V-Chan!! Don't Die!! Pleaseee Don't Die!!!" Her big haunted eyes looked at the man not noticing the girl sitting behind him,her yellow cat ears pinned to her head. "Why did man kill T.V-Chan?What did he do to you? Does Perosn have no Heart?!?"

A few people in the student lounge were whispering and staring at the weird green headed cat girl hugging a T.V as if shes was holding the dieing love of her life in her arms.
