Violet smiled as she took his hand, raising gently to her feet.
"That woul dbe great if you wouldn't mind. Maybe we could all meet up on the beach tomorrow? Have a reunion BBQ or something?" she suggested, still holding his hand as they walked towards his car.

"Sounds like a plan." As they got to the car, he held open the passenger's door for her. "Your carriage, m'lady," he said in a terrible fake french accent as he bent over, imitating a butler of some sorts. He closed the door when she was in, slid across the hood of his car on his rear, and got in. The car started with a gurgle and a choke, then revved into its full junky glory. "You're so good to me," Richard said to the car, patting the dashboard. He turned to Violet, a silly grin on his face. "You're going to have to remind me where your house is. It's been a while."

She grinned then explained,
"Still staying with dad to my embarrasment. Along the street, third left then the second right," she smiled. Violet patted the dashboard too, imitating Richard.
"How long have you had this fabulous car anyway?" she asked, you could tell from her exspression she wasn't trying to be mean. Personally she thought cars like this had more meaning to them.

"Heh. This BEAUTIFUL car," he started, his tone soaked with sarcasm, "has been with me for about a year and a half. Got it for cheap from a neighbour." The car started choking and dying in response, as if heart-broken at his words. "Nono, come onnnnn I didn't mean it!" Richard yelled, looking worried. "You know there's no other, baby!" He rubbed at the dashboard in encouragement, and it wound back up to its usual fervor. "Heh heh," he smiled with embarassment, glad that the vehicle didn't give up all together. It would be embarassing in itself for it to have shutdown while driving Violet home and having to push it somewhere else to get it out of the street.
"Hey, at least you have a place to stay," he blurted out. His mind had warned him, but he had stupidly ignored it. He remained silent, glancing at her for a few seconds, hoping she hadn't picked up on what he had said.

Violet grinned as Richard argued with his car. She had managed to catch his last comment, and she could tell from the look on his face he didn't seem to pleased about it.
"You stupid angel, why didn't you say before? You can stay at mine if you want, it'll be fun," she smiled, shaking her head at his silliness.

He scratched the back of his head for a few seconds, thinking it over. "I couldn't impose..." he said quietly. "And I've gotten used to just sleeping in the car anyway." He jabbed his thumb at the backseat to show the body-shaped lumps that had formed there. "Really...it's alright." Richard forced a smile on his face, hoping she would accept it and let him be.

Yumi returned to the beach where she had been with Zuko, parking her car in the small cafe carpark. She climbed out, her shoes in one hand and her car keys in the other. She walked numbly to the beach and diped her toes in the soft sand. What am i going to do...? I don't deserve either of them...

Satoshi continued to walk along the beach. He spotted an old wooden pier in the far distance. He eventually got there and he walked to the end of it. He stood there, thinking as he lit a cigarette. I really must give this up..He thought, coughing slightly as he blew the smoke out his mouth.
He decided to sit down again and stared out into the deep blue ocean, frowning, deep in thought.

Violet sat staring at Richard for a full ten seconds before giving him a soft thump on the head.
"Don't be so silly, you did see that storm just now right? Its going to be freezing tonight and i'm not about to let my best friend freeze to death in a car," she scolded, grey eyes taking on a dangerous glint, daring him to object again. Her eyes widened a little as she looked out of the window, past Richard.
"Is that Satoshi over there? Sitting at the end of the pier?" she wondered aloud, her face an odd mix of the original sterness and confusion.

"Ow!" He winced, rubbing his head as he faked pain from the hit. He let out a heavy sigh, knowing she wasn't going to give in so easily. "Fine...but just this one night, alright? One night and then no more." He continued driving for a while until she spoke again. "Where...?" The car squeaked to a halt before dying completely on its own. "Darnit....oh well." He squinted past her to see. "I....can't tell. Do you want to check to see if it's him?"

Smiling she hugged him as he agreed to stay.
"Good, now thats settled. If you don't mind, it saves ringing him later to tell him about tomorrow," she replied, taking of her seatbelt and stepping out of the car.

"That's true....see, I told you you were the smart one of the bunch!" he nudged her in the arm with his fist as repayment for the thump on his head. "Careful out there. I'll just wait for you here, trying to get this heap started again." He waited until she was some distance away from pulling out the last of his cigarettes from his pocket, now a bit bent. He rarely ever smoked two in one day, but this needed it.
Its going to be freezing tonight and i'm not about to let my best friend freeze to death in a car
Best friend, eh? He hoped it could continute to remain that way after tonight. He mulled the thought over in his mind as he finally got the cigarette lit, rolling down the window so that the interior of the car wouldn't stink.

Sticking out her tounge she waved as she walked backwards down the pier. Spinning so she was the walking the right way she pulled her hood up again, the wind had grown a little stronger then before.
"Is that you Satoshi?" she called, doing a funny half jog to get to the end of the pier quickly. Seeing it was him she smiled warmly.
"What are you doing out here all on your own? I thought you were hanging out with Yumi?" she asked, seeing the frown on his face.

Jesper decided what he would do. He let the cat down and threw off his jacket. Then he opened th eguitar and gazed at its steel neck. Then he closed it and slung it on his back before picking up an amp and a generator, heading up purposefully. He had a plan that would bring him peace of mind if nothing else. No more running away. Thats what he had done with richard and he had ended up dead. Thats also why he still got the cravings at night. He set up his amp and generator, plugging it all in and looked down at the beach.

Yumi squeezed her eyes shut to prevent anymore tears and covered her eyes with her hands. She knelt down int he sand and huddled over, her nose inches from the sand.
When ever things just got to much, Yumi had trained herself to become as small as possible. That things the big things wouldn't hurt so much, and she felt safe. She placed her hands in the sand and clentched her fists, grabbing two big handfulls, as several tears ran down her nose and dripped onto her lap.
