Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zyanya wasn't impressed, she stared at the water park entranceway with little amusment. One part of her was excited to wear her two peice bathing suit for the first time...she never wore it cause she hated water. SHe disliked it so much that even when 'bathing' she used a sponge and washed herself that way.

Still...it was a gorgous day...and she got to show her body off to Ter and Reese. She wasn't so sure what had compelled her to invite them to this place....But she had wantd to give Reese a place where he didn't have to be in his wheel chair all the time.

Hinder had been surprised when they had gotten there. Water?? HE LOVED THE STUFF. But he knew Zyan hated it...why were they here?

Reese felt like his heart was going to explode. Zyanya had invited him to the water park for the day. A whole day at the park! With Z, and her dragon, Hinder! He'd dressed up specifically for the day, wearing the black Pirate shirt Z had picked out for him and letting his hair hang down. Made him look more grown up, he'd decided. He had also come prepared with shiny things for Hinder in his backpack. Their last meeting had taught him it would help get on the green's good side.

His tail wiggled happily as he rolled himself along in front of Wilbur, puffing lightly but not really building up a sweat yet. He'd been practicing a whole lot. He didn't want to have Wilbur following them around all the time, or to burden Z with pushing him to every attraction.

"I'm gonna go find Thee and Hinder, Wilbur!" He called back over his shoulder. The butler sighed some, not liking the idea of the boy going off on his own...but Reese was already making headway, and Wilbur was burdened with towels and other various gear.

"Be careful, Young Sir!" It was all he could manage before Reese disappeared into the crowd. "Oh, if Edge finds out I let him off on his own..." Wilbur sighed, shaking his head as he went to find a place near the giant wave pool to set up base.


Reese wasn't sure as to where he was going to meet Zyan and Hinder...but it wasn't hard to find them. After all, how many other green mantis girls with green dragons were there in Gaia? When he spotted his friend, he briefly paused to wave one hand in her direction. "THEE!" he shouted, trying to get her attention. Man, she sure looked pretty. He'd only seen girls wear stuff like that on TV...but Poppa didn't really like it when he watched shows like that. "HINDER!" He was all smiles, pushing himself onward again...

And then he saw the other dragon. A much. Bigger. Dragon. With sharp spines and pointy teeth and some kind of serpent thing crawling on it's back. And Z was heading right for the devilish looking duo.

"Thee!" Reese shouted, suddenly feeling panic. They were gonna get in trouble! What if that other dragon tried to eat Hinder? Or if they...knew each other? Zyanya didn't seem afraid at all, and the big dragon knew Hinder's name. Reese blinked several times, feeling his face flush in embarrassment as he continued making his way over.

Baroness sat back and watched Hinder closely, listened to his greetings and compliments and relaxed a little bit. He seemed to be back to being himself today she thought to herself before stretching her wings out to their full length so she could soak up some sun.

"At least the sun is bright today." She murmured to herself before looking over to Hinder, "Do you swim Hinder?" She questioned the Green, a little curious.

Ter returned her kiss before turning when she did, watching as a new kid arrived and he found himself for a moment starring at the contraption that he was sitting in. He looked him over closely, questioningly. He didn't exactly look like any snake he'd ever seen so what he the snake wondered to himself.

"When you said we were meeting a friend of yours I got my hopes up and thought it might be a cute girl." He teased Z before looking down at Reese, "Hi." He said in greeting, he seemed young the cobra would guess him to be about Drez's age so he felt no immediate jealousy when Z abandon him to go over and pat the boy's head.

Zyanya had rolled her eyes at Ter's comment about her friend being a cute girl. She had no real girl friends...she found other females to be too annoying. She continued to pat Reese's head before she commented a bit sarcasitcally.

"Heh, your halarious Ter, just...so funny." She said with a har har afterwards. Shaking her head she looked back down to Reese as he asked her a question.

"Hmmm? I suppose so. All the different breeds grow to different sizes. Not sure quite how big Hinder will get." She replied honestly.

"Oh? That?" She said with a scowl at the comment of her smell. "Its just sunblock. I will make sure to put some on you before you go in the water. It helps stop you from burning." She explained with a nod of her head.

"I have free passes inside so we don't have to pay." She said searching for her wallet to pull out the tickets to hand one to Ter and one to Reese. She had hoped Wilbur wasn't coming and thusly didn't have a fourth.

Hinder watched Baroness a moment as she spread her wings. He had attempted flight a couple of times...each a miserable failure. He figured that his muslces just weren't strong enough for flight yet. When Baroness asked him the question of liking water he nodded his head trying not to look too eager.

"I technically am a species that shares its territory with other swamp dwellers. I swim..though it has been a long times since I have been in a large body of water." He replied trying to sound intelligent. He looked Baroness over already knowing she couldn't swim very well with her forarms attached to wings. It would make for very awkward paddling.

Reese's eyes widened excitedly as Zyan handed out the passes, holding his as if he were afraid of it dissolving between his finger tips. "Aw man..." he said in awe. "That'th awethome. Thankth Thee!" He was all smiles. He couldn't wait, this day was gonna be so great!

He looked up intently at Ter as the snake spoke, thoughtfully chewing his lower lip and giving a slow nod of his head. "Wyvern...the'th really cool looking. My dragon'th gonna be a Patthor, though no one theemth to know what it'll look like yet." He was a little confused by that, but excited too. He was getting a new dragon. This would be awesome.

The comment about Z hanging out with other guys flew over the younger boy's head. After all, what was wrong with having lots of different friends? No, Reese was still too young for hormones to really have kicked in...and neither Edge nor Wilbur were willing to have The Talk with him just yet.

"Well! Let'th go!" Reese said suddenly, putting the ticket into a side pocket on his backpack...putting both hands on his wheels and looking up at the other two expectantly.

"A mystery dragon, huh? Sounds cool. That means its like... the dragon lottery for you." Ter said to Reese, finding himself a bit curious about what a Patthor might look like in comparison to some of the other dragons that he had seen so far, "I'd like to see it when you get it."

He turned and started to slither along with the pair, trying not to stare at the chair that the boy was stuck in. That must suck... he couldn't imagine not getting to move around like he wanted to move, to be confined to something like that. He looked away before looking back from the corner of his eye in a manner that he hoped would seem a little less as if he were starring.

His eyes went from starring at Reese to starring at Z, giving a fanged grin as she walked along. Such a great suit he thought to himself making a mental note to thank the Powers above for the man that designed two pieced suits.

Baroness looked at Ter, Z, and the other boy when they started to head inside, "Alright, lets go in then. We can find a place to make our territory." She said, all for chasing humans out of whatever space they decided was theirs for the day.

Having never heard or seen a Patthor she was also curious to what it would look like. She allowed Reese to take the lead though she was keeping a lingering gaze on him to make sure no one was going to mess with him.

Enjoying the attention she was recieving from Ter as well Reese she couldn't help but saunter a bit letting Ter enjoy her small movements to allure him more. When they paused attop a small hill, she looked to Reese as he made a comment about the dragons finding a spot.

"I doubt they would have to do much to get the space they deserve." She said with a smirk. Hinder was already looking towards the wave pool eager to slip into the waters.

With Zyan and Ter around it wouldn't take them all that long to glare everyone out of the way. Soon enough there was enough space for them to lay down their belongings. Zyan took her blanket out and spread it onto the grass as well a few other items. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a few drinks she smuggeled into the park.

After Z spread out the blanket, Reese would roll over to the edge and drop his backpack off in a corner. No reason to carry that around all day...it would be safer here with the dragons. Just as long as they didn't go snooping! But when Ter mentioned what to do, Reese's head snapped around in typical 'WTF?' fashion.

"We go thwimming, duh!" the seahorse boy said suddenly, a wide grin on his face despite how short the answer sounded. Hands bracing themselves on the wheels of his chair, he'd roll himself back and forth slightly in anticipation.

"Rathe ya to the pool!" And off he went, a little slow at first...but he was pushing hard, and the slow slope of the hill helped a lot. Probably a lot more than he was used to going, but he didn't try to stop himself. After all, Z was watching and he wanted to look brave in front of her and the older boy.

But man, was it going to hurt when he tried to stop himself at the bottom of that hill where the grass gave way to the concrete "shore line" of the wave pool. If he'd even be able to stop himself...
