Welcome to Gaia! ::

Raven got comfortable in the seat and watched out the window at the shoppers going in and out. She would have gone in, but she trusted Aubrey's judgement. She just hoped she wasn't going to dye her hair blonde. Red, sure. Brown, okay. Her hair was already black so that wasn't an option, but blonde.... Just wasn't really her color. Raven smiled and sat back in her seat, happy her mind was on something else for once since the events of that night happened.

 

 


Kyle followed Aubrey to the Walgreen's but parked his car there, thinking if he followed he inside he would be expected to pay, which was not worth it, even if she I'd get him blonde hair coloring.
He turned up the radio to some heavy metal station and closed his eyes. He fell asleep; he hadn't slept much the night before.
Then he realized he needed to text Ted, the friend who would help out with the plates and the IDs, and have him make sure he was home.
Theodore Roosevelt, you in the White House? Code for are you home. Kind of obvious, but oh well. All their "codes" were a little obvious.
Yeah, got the Secret service ready for action. Did you have an appointment?
Yes, I'm home and it's all secure. Did you need to see me?
Got the FBI tracking me down, lol.
I'm in trouble with the law, lol thrown in to throw off anyone reading who shouldn't be.
I'll give you the presidential pardon wink
Sure, I'll help you out.
Thank you, Mr. President. Mind if I bring some buddies?
Thanks. Can I bring some buddies. (remember the 'obvious' part?)
They part of your gang?
Are they in trouble too?
Yeah
K. Meet me o' 500 hours.
Meet me whenever, neither of them knew military time and it threw off people who did.
Kyle shut his phone with relief. Everything was ready to go.
As Kyle was about to drift back to sleep again he got a text from Aubrey. He groaned nd started the car, taking off in the direction of his friend's house.

 

 

Kyle pulled into Ted's driveway. Aubrey pulled in behind him and everyone climbed out.
Ted stood at the door and he popened it with a huge smile. "Hey guys, glad you could make it!" he said as if he had invited them to a party or something. Ugh, couldn't think of parties yet.
Kyle returned the smile with one of his own and a fist-bump. "Yeah man, wouldn't miss it for the world."
Everyone filed into the house. It wasn't anything fancy but nicer than you'd expect from a something-year-old who did dark ally deals as a living.
Ted led them all to the living room. "So, what's the problem that's got the law tracking you down?"
Kyle glared at him for a second. "Guys, this is Ted. He can be rude sometimes."
Ted gave him a questioning look and Kyle sent him a killing look.
"We were hoping you could get us some new ID, license plates for one car, and a chance to change our appearance."
Ted raised his eyebrows. " You got money?"
"You owe me."
Ted thought really hard about that. "You sure? I think you owe me at the moment."
"I bailed you out of jail two weeks ago and it cost almost all my money. You owe me."
"As I recall, I loaned you my car so you could play a prank on some guys you didn't like. I say you owe me."
"Almost ALL of my LIFE'S SAVINGS. A thousand dollars? You think I got plenty of that?"
Ted shrugged. "Fine, I can do you a favor. I'll work on the plates, you guys get ready for your pic."
Kyle turned to the others with a small smile. Ted was alright, but not exactly the kind of guy who could give the right first impressions.
"To the bathroom to due our hair!" he said jokingly.

 

 

Kyle's eyes got huge. "No. No you did NOT buy blonde. You would never do that to me! No!" he started to back away, panic clear on his face.
Sneaky old Ted snuck up behind him, a grin on his face and duct tape in his hand.
Before Kyle knew it he was duct taped to a chair and in the bathroom.
"Okay, now I owe you, but it is so worth it." Ted said before stepping aside to let Aubrey dye Kyle's hair.
