Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I can understand Aly being no fun, but really Nari? I would think you would jump at this." Older Pen was getting a little frustrated by the whole conversation. It wasn't everyday you get a device that sends you through time. A little meddling never hurt anything.

"Fine but it will be few hours before that thing starts up again so have fun sitting here. Forbid it from me to get in someone's way of being bored." Pen shook her head and came back to Jade. She leaned into him though he was still in a daze. After whispering something she grabbed him by the sleeve and left the rest of the group.

Meanwhile....

A little girl around five years old came running from the playground with contagious laughter. Her short blond hair bounced as she ran, showing her long elven ears, which due to her light elf skin tone, was the only indicator of her race. She was running to a familiar figure close to the playground, standing by the big statue, overjoyed that he had came to the park. She ran up to Luciano and grabbed onto his leg. She smiled up at him with the deepest brown eyes.

"FOUND YOU!! You said you were coming later!"

KD had wondered off and was playing in the sand with some children. There's nothing for me to really learn... she thought, No family to check in on... and I will hear about what the others learn about themselves late--- She stopped mid thought at the sight of a eloquently dressed elf. She was hand and hand with two little ones and a well dressed male elf. She watched as they sat at a bench and let the little ones run free into the playground. The smallest, a boy ran right for her his big blue eyes stared at her. KD blinked away tears. "Why are you crying lady?" KD didn't say anything back she couldn't... she just smiled at him and gestured with her hand for him to play with her in the sand.

The little girl looked up at Luc quizzically wondering if this was a new game. After a moment she smiled and began to bounce in place.

" Silly, I'm Sapphire! You know me and you were just talking to mommy. You are very silly!" Sapphire smiled right up at him still proud of herself of finding him. It was always a game of hide and go seek between these two and she took pride in winning.

Meanwhile...

Pen had taken Jade to a bench beside the park. She could see the group and Luc as he was being played with. With an air of content she sighed letting Jade sit next to her.

"It's been awhile, since we sat like this; thought I would never feel this content staying put."

Luciano stared at Sapphire a little more; The more he stared, the more he could see the resemblance. She looked a lot more like Jade than Pen, but she did have Pen's eyes. He stayed eye level with her, he said "Sapphire, huh? That's a pretty name. .," Luciano wasn't sure what else to say to the little girl, he didn't know her at all but it did seem like she knew him very well. Even so. . he thought he should get to know her. Just to be nice. "Well. . as you may already know, I'm Luciano. . Your mother is one of my best friends, you know," Luciano sat down on the ground, ". . Are we best friends?" He wasn't sure what else to ask her, but this question would hopefully give him a good idea as to what their future relationship would be like.

Meanwhile,
Michelle was dragged to what looked to be a bedroom, where the woman quickly helped her get dressed. She even did her make up, and strangely enough it was exactly how Michelle loved it, too.
Once ready, she was then dragged down the stairs, "Alright, Michelle! I'm going to go find my brother!- OH! And Luciano called, he told me to remind you that you two were going to meet Penelope at the park and to wear that dress he likes!" And before Michelle could even get a word in, the woman was gone! And Michelle was left in the middle of the room with people running all over the place. She was dressed up and ready for whatever she was ready for, and had NO clue where to go next. So, she began walking aimlessly down a large Hallway; With Portraits of members of the Brozen family hanging on each wall.
As she walked, and looked at the paintings, a familiar face ran up to her, "Michelle!" The man hugged her, and then he said, "Wonderful to see you!- Katherina told me she bumped into you, so I thought I'd look around and say 'Hello'!" And he smiled, "My brother also needed to see you! He said you were going to help him compose a song later this week! Are you excited?" Michelle was now in total shock; She had NO freaking clue who this guy was, or his brother, and she didn't know WHAT he was even talking about, "Uhhhhh. . . I'm-" Suddenly the man's mobile began to ring, "Hold that thought, Sweetheart!" And then he picked up the phone, "This is Romero." Michelle softly gasped and thought to herself, "Romero?!. . But he's so. . So. . . NICE!" Suddenly a woman with red hair, that was shoulder length, walked up to Michelle, "Michelle! Darling!" She walked up and gave Michelle a hug and she said, "SOOOOO great to see you! Some wedding, huh? Who knew Sophia would actually settle down, huh? Haha!- OH! And Colbur is here! We should go say 'Hi!', Michelle! Come on!!" Michelle gasped as she was suddenly being dragged through the commotion again; Along the way she would hear people say 'Hello, Michelle!' and she would also hear a few 'Hi, Jennifer!'s here and there, but she didn't know who Jennifer was! Michelle just played along anyway. What's the worst that could happen?

Luciano was almost startled by Sapphire randomly climbing on his back, but he went along with it anyway. He replied back to her, "Yeah, I hurt my head a little. . . Among other things. . ." remembering pain, he felt his shoulder begin to throb a little bit. He rubbed his shoulder and he said, "Here. . Let me take you over to your mother. I'm sure she'd be more than happy to see you." Luciano slowly got to his feet, and then began to walk in Future Pen's direction.

"But. . ." Luciano began but then he sighed, he was too tired to put up a fight so he said, "Alright. . Lead the way, Sapphire." He allowed the little girl to "pull" him in the direction she wanted them to go in.
"Wait. . . 'us'?. . . What'd she mean by that?" He wondered to himself. Something told him that he was about to find out.

Sabe left the room so he could get a clearer idea of where he was.

The long, twisting hallways of the second floor only confused him. It definitely didn't look like a dorm, but it wasn't like a castle either. The nameplates on the doors belonged to people whose names never rung a bell to him. When he passed by the balcony and the large foyer it opened to, it was clear he didn't know where he was anymore.
