Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You'll get your wand back after practice, I swear. So help me god though if a spell zooms past me I'll know who to suspect first." Amelia said to Jason. Turning her attention back to Vlaityn she said, "Oh come on. We know that you love us quirks and all. So Captain..." Amelia paused for dramatic affect. "Can we get back on our brooms yet? Can we get back on our brooms yet? Can we get back on our brooms yet? Huh Can we? Can we? Can we?" Amelia said mimicking a three year old and jumping up and down on the balls of her feet. She finally stopped jumping and put on her puppy dog face, "Pretty please." .......

Trilling with laughter, Vlaityn raised her finger at Amelia and made a scolding motion. "Ah ah ah! What have I told you about being impatient? Hmm? It's baaaaad. Early gray hair and all that good stuff." Pulling a serious face, Vlaityn tapped her foot as if waiting for time to go by. After a minute or so, she heaved a sigh and waved a hand at Amelia. "Ok, you can get on your broom now. NOW. QUICKER. YOU'RE SO SLOW." Vlaityn started shouting frantically in between a few chuckles.

She then turned to Jason and quirked an eyebrow. "Soon. After a quick hello all around. We like to be a well acquainted team. And I don't believe Joel will be through fawning of Kani for a good 5 minutes." Vlaityn turned her attention back to Joel, one of her best friends and smiled.

"But anybody else dying to get back in the air can start stretching and playing broom tag with Amelia. I mean, pass the quaffle, of course."

Jason still was cracking up as Amelia was going to take off, but when she again threatened him he didn't take it as a joke.She does have a point. When Vlaityn mentioned Joel he looked over. Whoa wait a second, He was hugging Jordan just a second ago and now he's totally trying to squish... What was her name? Oh yah, Kani! So either this guy either has ADD or is....." He couldn't even think the word gay or as the Brits called it "happy". He walked over to Vlaityn and whispered into her ear.
"Is Joel... gay?"

Vlaityn could feel the day start to go downhill as Amelia zoomed off in a state of dangerously high irritation and Jason was fast approaching. Gritting her teeth together, Vlaityn decided it was best to just grin and bear it.


Well, she had decided previously before she heard what he said. People can change their minds.

At Jason's question, Vlaityn felt herself clench her jaw and her hand twitched. Whether it was from the want to grab the wand she had yet turned over or the uncivilized pleasure that would come from smacking the boy, she knew not.

First she considered clipping Jason off with a simple 'It's amazing how he is so kind and loving to everyone, isn't it? Joel is a blessing' and sending him off. But that wouldn't have been enough for Jason and she knew it.

"Seeing as you are not friends with him, you are in no position to ask or know." Vlaityn seethed venomously. The child was grating her nerves something fierce. "You will stop disrespecting Amelia as well. Now be off." With a final hard glare, Vlaityn made it well known that he was skating on thin ice, one slip from being banned from the practice altogether, let alone a position on her team.

Jordan had followed the reactions of everyone closely. Although a few people ha tried to calm things down, it was painfully obvious that everyone was still a little on edge. Probably out of the whole group, Amelia seemed the most affected. He had opened his mouth, yet another time, to speak and finally answer question, but before he could she was off in the air, flying at incredible speed. 'Probably trying to vent,' he thought to himself, 'She has a point though.' The boy's thoughts were quickly changed, however, when Joel announced his undying love for Jordan, (a little more loudly than the boy though necessary). His face turned scarlet and his cheeks burned from embarrassment. It was obvious that Joel was being sarcastic, but Jordan wasn't sure how he felt about Joel anyway so it only made him more aware of how awkward he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more he wished he wasn't there in front of everyone. Then a stroke of brilliance hit him, 'Oh, yeah,' he thought, 'I have a broom.'

He nodded towards the rest of the team assembled on the ground and said, "Thanks Joel, but you should be careful about who you say that to. You never know, you might just be eating your words someday," and then he added his own playful wink. "I'll be up in the sky," he continued, "I could get some good flying in. Just let me know when you guys are ready, okay?" Jordan then mounted his broom with his legs on either side. The boy kneeled down and then forcefully sprang off the ground. His broom took care of the rest, and instead of gravity having its natural effect he steadily rose at an angle into the air. Jordan breathed the clean air in as deep as he could. He loved to fly, and at Hogwarts it was the greatest, because there wasn't as much pollution, and other undesirable particles in the air.

The boy searched the sky for the one other member in the sky until he found her. Amelia was flying fast, and hard. He thought about an appropriate angle to head her off so he could fly next to her. Once he found it the boy leaned forward slightly on his broom, and as if it knew what he was thinking it rocketed in the right direction. Jordan had misjudged how fast Amelia was flying though so he barely missed her. Instead of stopping, he continued on with a sharp turn. That was one of the upsides to the cleansweep models. They had precision control, and were great for fancy flying and awkward turns. In a few seconds he was on Ameilia's tale again, "Hey!" He called out as harsh wind whipped around him, "Wait up!"

"When that day comes Jordan, I will be sure to let you know. Though, I do love it when your shy. Your so adorable!" With a raise in the pitch of his voice, Joel almost sounded like a young school girl, admiring Jordan like that.
Returning his attention to Vlaityn, his arms still around her shoulders, Joel couldn't help but be glad that he could keep up his good mood under almost any circumstances.
Thanks, mum, for that trait. If I was to only get one thing from you, I would want what I already have. Your attitude.
Closing his eyes, Joel faced the sky, listening as Jordan left the group to fly among the clouds. And Amelia too, of course.

"I'll always miss my best mates. So, who knows what will happen after I leave hogwarts...Maybe I'll take over the Bed and breakfast...Or maybe I'll do something else with my time.."
With a sigh, Joel pulled Vlaityn into him a little closer. Like a sister, Joel loved Vlaityn very much, and he was very glad that she and Sezer had finally gotten together.
Taking a deep breath, Joel kept his eyes closed, his face was expressionless as he stared at the inside of his eyelids.

[[Aagh. Short, but I wanted to respond..]]

At first, her smile stayed firmly upon her lips. The sun warmed her cheeks and the cool earth beneath her feet felt ideal, she could believe everything would be alright in this moment. As it once was. Sunny and light. But then harsh words began to shoot through her moment, her dream, and the grin faltered for a second. Only a faltering second, because then she was ambushed by the notoriously energetic Joel and warm words from Vlaityn and Amelia.

“You guys… are just great. I can’t wait to root you on this year. Heck, maybe I’ll put together a cheerteam just to give encouragement.” The idea was a random one from over the summer when she attended a soccer game that her brother was in. Surprisingly it was exciting and Kani found herself screeching words of support… and sometimes anger at the opposing team. Much to the displeasure of the cheerleaders who were doing the same. But now that her whimsical fancy was out in the open, it was an idea to be tucked away for later. ‘I mean, if I can’t play, I might as well be right there on the field to give chants of support. Plus it’ll give me the chance of stepping onto the quidditch pitch again.’ At that ending thought, Kani felt selfish and sneaky. It wasn’t meant for her to step back onto that pitch, but somehow she was going to get herself there. Was this using her friends to her advantage?

With no time to linger on that traitorous thought, Kani sank onto the soft ground, her back finding the rough trunk of a rather grotesque looking tree. Then up flew Jordan, chasing the Chaser, to which Kani smiled at. It was good to finally see some action other than lips flapping. This was what she came for. A bittersweet sigh left the witch’s lips at the sight of the speed exhibited. Abesntmindedly, Kanita’s caramel speckled eyes followed the boy with the brown hair flying. He had good form… ‘or his form certainly looks appealing.’ A crinkled smile appeared as her musical laughter flitted through the air. “Oh dear, I’m as bad a craddlesnatcher as Joel is.” And thus ensued more laughing from Miss Doyle.

Perhaps this day would be a good one.

(( Ugh, I deeply apologize for the disgusting organization of this post. It is as scattered as my mind feels at the moment, but I needed to type out something. Hope I didn't miss anyone's posts, I tried to address everything. ))
