"Ya know, I realized today, that it's New Years Eve. Ahhh the last day of 2015. It's tradition that we make lanterns and let them go into the sky, right when it strikes Midnight. My sister, the youngest, she says that they hold the New Years wishes, and you send them off to the gods. Something like that anyway. It's probably just a tale, but I think thats it's pretty cool."

That did sound pretty cool. The most Natalie had ever done was go to watch the fireworks at the park with Amelia, and then they'd go get ice cream. It was their big night of girl time. Amelia told her interesting stories from when she was however old Natalie was. When she was fifteen, Amelia told her about a silly little fling she had with a British exchange student. Natalie always learned what NOT to do from these stories. This year, it seemed like that wouldn't happen. It also seemed that they'd never be the same ever again. She thought maybe the three of them could go. Before she spoke up though, Estelle said;

"Anyway, what are you guys going to do tonight?"

Natalie was gonna talk, but again, Estelle interrupted.

"Normally couples would do SOMETHING on New Years."

Estelle winked at Natalie, who turned red like a beet. Why was Estelle SO intent on that subject?

"I'm just kidding, but seriously you guys should go do something, it's technically your first New Years together."

Technically, it was. While she agreed that her and Alex should do something fun, she couldn't help but feel that Estelle deserved to have someone hang out with her too. She felt bad, Estelle was now the third wheel. Hopefully Alex had some cute friend she could set Estelle up with. She sighed. "Maybe the three of us can do something together during the day, then Alex and I can go to the fireworks alone?" She suggested. She wanted a way to include Estelle at least for a while before she was forced home with her sisters. She made a mental note to ask Alex to take her for ice cream after the fireworks.

 

Evan was enjoying his breakfast when suddenly Ria was apparently up and awake. She walked into the kitchen where he was eating and said that being almost completely naked suited the man. Wait he was almost naked? Evan looked down and saw that only his boxer shorts were on him. Well that was certainly interesting. He chuckled a bit and saw that Ria was smiling at the whole situation. Well that was certainly a good thing to see. Operation Make Everyone Happy...or whatever he called it earlier, was already off to a bitchin start. He had completely finished devouring his meal and heard Ria say something about how he could kick her out whenever. After guzzling down his orange juice and gasping for breath he said, "oh no Ria, you could stay here as long as you wanted to really. I'd expect you to leave from the nothingness to do here before I kicked you." He gave one of his goofy grins and chuckled a bit.

He looked at his phone and noticed a reply came from Cherry Red. He was going to be hanging out with Boss-man Erik. Well that was a good idea, Boss-man Erik had this whole natural leader level headness vibe about him that would do the distressed, drugged, man some good. However the problem at hand was still Ria. He didn't exactly know what to do...other than get dressed. He excused himself and in mere moments came back with his outfit on. Today he was sporting blue jeans, a pink t-shirt, and a nice green wind breaker. Man of perfect fashion he was.

He ran his hands through his hair in an attempt to fix it up and then turned to Ria. "So, watcha want to do today hm? We could go to the park again...though I um, don't really know what to do there right now." He started to think on this. What was there to do? Well obviously rollerblade all over the place. That was just the most fun thing Evan could think of. "Hmmm, want to go ice skating? I've been meaning to try it one of these days but never quite got around to it. But what with it being, uh," Evan took a quick glance at his giraffe calender to notice it was the new years eve. He then picked up a spare dart lying around and threw it at the date, "seeing as it's new years eve, what better time than now to start?"

"Ya know, I realized today, that it's New Years Eve. Ahhh the last day of 2015."

It was? He'd pretty much forgotten about it with all the things going on. Now what was he suppose to do for New Year's, maybe something was planned without him knowing about it.

"Anyway, what are you guys going to do tonight?"

The fact that Estelle looked towards him didn't exactly help him at all. He wasn't good with coming up with things right on the spot. Granted it wasn't like he's had practice doing this kind of thing, maybe Nat would have an idea.

"Maybe the three of us can do something together during the day, then Alex and I can go to the fireworks alone?"

"Yeah, that'd work." He agreed. Thank you Natalie.

"Hello, you must be Shane, we've been expecting you. Right through here love."

"Oh thanks." Shane said. This was all so new for him, especially the whole servant waiting on him thing. Nonetheless he followed behind the girl. The walk was long and there were servant all around the home, it wasn't too surprising to see that, but just at the speed they were moving though. Soon enough they came to Seraphina's room in which she was at the door.

"Hello Shane. I'm feeling much much better, I really should be more careful though shouldn't it?"

"It probably would've help if I'd noticed it sooner." Shane admitted. he wasn't exactly the best at noticing things like that.

"My parents are hosting a small get together tonight, and everyone is running around. Maybe you could stick around for a bit, if you don't have any plans for New Years that is."

That explained what was going on outside. Apparently this get together had stressed them out somewhat if they were acting like that. "Not this year so I guess I could stay."

​

​

"That sounds good guys." Estelle smiled. "Hmm... what now.... I would grill you for information Alex but I have a feeling that Nat would yell at me, so give me a second while I think of suitable conversation.." She said, looking up to the ceiling for a second. "You really don't talk much do you?" She looked over at him. ​

​

"I wonder whats going on in that head of yours sometimes. Seriously, I know I don't normally leave that much room for comments, but you keep to yourself a lot." Estelle observed. ​

​

"Same with you I find Nat, hopefully you talk more to yourselves then you talk in front of me." She laughed. "When I was your age, I wasn't very talkative either. I was very to myself kind of like you." She told them. ​

​

"Ahhh young love. Once upon a time I remember Vega having a special New Years eve." She said, drinking her Chocolate, then taking the empty plates and going into the kitchen to watch them. "HEY you shut up in there! I heard that Estelle!" Vega yelled, throwing a show that Estelle dodged. "It's too much to tease you guys, Sorry. Mostly just you, Vega" She laughed. ​

​

​

"I was hoping you would." She smiled. "It would be quite boring." She told him. "Other then me sister, it's all adults. Plus, I've always wanted to dance at once of these parties." She smiled hintingly. "Whats your family like Shane?" She asked him. "Do you have any brothers or sisters?" She asked him.​

​

"Oh, that reminds me, today I can show you the Video game room." She smiled, standing up, and then making her way around the house. She opened a door, not far from her room, and stepped inside. ​

"Theres this side, the TV, Gaming Systems, Games. Then on the other side is the theater, which also has a set of video game systems. Any thing you can think of I bet you it's here. Oh, and on the wall waaaaaaaaay over there. There's a bunch of Computers lined up. Let me show you." She said, walking over. ​

​

"This room is a little more toned down from the rest of the house, at my request of course, but they did have to throw the chandelier in here." She laughed. "It's so much fun, just to be able to have a room that's to myself. I'm studying and doing lessons and being schooled here at home as well, other then my room and the garden this is the only other place I have to just be me." She told him. "Sorry, I'm doing it again aren't I?" She laughed. "What do you want to do?" She asked him.​

✖ LOCATION ↝ DUVONT'S ✖​

She had been standing there for a good minute when the door finally swung open. She happily turned to greet whoever was at the door, but when she came face to face to those familiar blue eyes she felt her heart skip a beat as she took a sharp breath. Ryder. Oh goodness, the entire walk to his household she's been thinking of ways she'd greet him and converse with him without it being awkward. She tried thinking up situations and things they would say. She imaged she'd bump into him in the hallway or in the living room or kitchen but was still unable to come up with what she'd end up saying. It only caused her cheeks to burn. She certainly did not expect their encounter to be so soon!! Yikes!!

"Oh. Hey Elisa,"

He seemed shocked as well. Her body had stiffened and she couldn't look him in the eyes as her own glanced down at what the boy was dressed in. Hm. She would have to remember to give him some props for what he was wearing! He didn't look so much like a homeless boy anymore! Haha, okay that was mean. She just couldn't help but realize how he finally had some thought of style. Even when she'd give him things to wear, he wouldn't put them on. This... this was good. Very good.

He stepped aside as he held the door open. "Richie didn't say you were coming over."

Oh! Okay! Good! Something to respond to! Elisa clasped her right wrist behind her back as she walked through the front door. She walked past him, not looking at him at all and immediately bending down to pull the laces of her sneakers. "It's a surprise!" she started as happy as always. Alright. She was doing good! Just a normal, harmless conversation. Yup. She tried really hard to just stay cool and social and normal. She really hoped she didn't sound tense or nervous. She hoped she sounded okay. Oh dear! Had she been silent for too long? She cleared her throat. "Is he awake? Don't tell me I have to go and wake him up myself again." She gave a small laugh as she pulled off her shoes. She couldn't really think of anything else to say but just as she took a step forward she suddenly felt a hand on her arm.

Color collected on her cheeks and she could feel them burn up. Her eyes widened at the touch and her body tensed even more. She could already tell who it was - obviously, since no one else seemed to be around anyway. Her heart raced as she focused on the warmth on her arm. Before she could spin around, Ryder pulled her to the side and began talking in hushed tones.

"Hey um... Elisa. I uh, I was wondering --" He shook his head.

Elisa watched him intently, keeping her lips in a fine line and staying silent. She swore she could hear her rapid heartbeat and she prayed Ryder couldn't hear it. She bit down on her lip.

"-- I was wondering if tonight, you and I could uh, do something together. Just the two of us? You see," He took a deep breath without exhaling. "they're having fireworks at the park for the new year and I thought maybe we could go ... together? Like a ... like ... "

Her heart was going haywire. She could feel it. Her hands were clenched into fists. Her lips pressed against each other tightly. Everything around her was so silent all of the sudden. She could feel her cheeks burn up. She already knew where this was headed to and she couldn't believe it. She didn't even need to hear it, that word:

"date."

He said it so quietly but nonetheless she heard it. She felt her heart fluter but at the same time couldn't help but melt. She fought hard to make sure her lips stayed shut and didn't curl into a dorky smile and start getting all squishy and making weird noises because she couldn't handle how adorable Ryder looked. He was all nervous and tongue-tied and it really contrasted from how he usually was which was all tough and sporty and direct. It was just too cute for her to handle.

Elisa stared blankly at the boy's sides for a while, focusing his vision on the tips of his locks. What was the coolest way to say yes to a date? The most natural way? What? Some way that wouldn't make her much of a dork. Urggg, she really had to watch more of those romantic Korean dramas Richie always told her to catch up on.

She looked up at his blue eyes, finally separating her tinted lips. She forced them into a calmed smile. Her cheeks were still flushed but she felt her body relax slightly as she gave a quick nod, "Y-yeah. Uh. Sure. Sure!"

'I'd love to.' She couldn't find herself saying it because her heart still hadn't calmed and she swore she hadn't taken a breath since Ryder asked her. She smiled and nervously tucked a lock of her short blue hair behind her ear, looking away from his gaze. She brushed her toes together as she stared down at them. Hm. She was standing pretty close to Ryder right now, judging by how close their feet were. W-was he wearing perfume? Her nose picked up on the beautiful aroma of men's cologne. Oh, it smelled delicious! Oh yeah. Hm. Sometimes it was weird the things she would notice...

She looked back up at him in a snap, "Um. Richie! Yeah. Um. I'm going to uh, go wake him now. Yeah." she gave an awkward giggle before stepping to her side to try and cross him but they had that awkward moment of when she would step to the side, Ryder would go the same way and when he stepped the other way she would go that way too and they would just end up facing each other the whole time. That called for a couple more incredibly awkward laughs and finally when he just stopped and let her pass, she laughed once more, shaking her head slightly at their ridiculous little encounter.

She ran past him and up the stairs in an attempt to get away from Ryder as quickly as possible.

It was weird wasn't it? Having that attraction to her own best friend's identical twin brother. It was absurd! Part of her wished she had never grown into a crush on him but how could she? Ever since, Ryder had been incredibly nice to her despite how annoying she was to him. She couldn't forget when he brought her to auditions and waited the entire time for her either! That was beyond sweet. It was uncalled for but incredibly and unforgettably sweet!

She walked down the hall and stopped by Richie's door which was still closed. She took a moment to just stand outside and take a breath. She still couldn't believe it. It wasn't like no one's ever asked her out before it was just that - no one she was ever infatuated with asked her out before. This was a date. Like, a real, real date. That dorky smile crossed her face and she slapped her cheeks excitedly. Okay. Okay. Okay! Good day so far. It was time to keep it rolling.

She knocked on Richie's door frantically and yelled happily, "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up, sleepy head!! Time for some yummy yummy kawaii asian cousine at Hibachi!!"

​

Evan seemed to laugh at the fact that he was only in boxers. Did he not realize? Oh well. It wasn't like it bothered her or anything. She put the dirty dishes in the sink while he finished his food and drink. ❝ Oh no Ria, you could stay here as long as you wanted to really. I'd expect you to leave from the nothingness to do here before I kicked you. ❞

Maria smiled warmly at him for a moment. ❝ Well then you may never get rid of me, ❞ she said teasingly. She would have to leave eventually. Sooner would probably be better than later. She couldn't stand the idea of becoming too dependent on another person only to be let down. Evan left the kitchen to get dressed and she decided to wash his dishes for him. It was the least she could do. There was a painful dull throbbing in her chest and she sighed while wiping at her face with the back of her arm. Maria was so sick of crying, and yet couldn't seem to stop. This was too much. If she was left alone to her thoughts for more than a couple of minutes, then everything would come flooding back. Stephan. Bryan. Tucker. Stephan. Bryan. Tucker. Over and over again. Bryan is dead. Stephan is hiding something from her. Tucker is unapproachable. Bryan is dead. Stephan is hiding something from her. Tucker is unapproachable. How long before Evan or Noëlle would be added to that list as well?

There were footsteps and suddenly Evan was back in the kitchen dressed in the most garish thing she had ever seen. A pink t - shirt with a green windbreaker? He needed some serious fashion help. She suppressed a laugh as she put down the dish towel. He ran his hands through his hair in an attempt to fix it up and then turned to her. ❝ So, watcha want to do today hm? We could go to the park again...though I um, don't really know what to do there right now. Hmmm, want to go ice skating? I've been meaning to try it one of these days but never quite got around to it. But what with it being, uh, ❞ Evan took a quick glance at his giraffe calender to notice it was the new years eve. He then picked up a spare dart lying around and threw it at the date, ❝ Seeing as it's new years eve, what better time than now to start? ❞

She nodded her head. There was a guilty pain in her chest. Maria was going to have a party tonight, but then never invited anyone after what happened. There was too much going on to be in the mood for a party. Her thoughts wandered to the fox mask sitting on her dresser at home. Then of Noëlle looking super cute in a party dress with her silver mask. It would shine splendidly in contrast to her vibrant red hair.

Maria nodded her head. ❝ Ice skating sounds great. ❞ She managed a small smile then glanced down at the pajamas Evan had given her. ❝ Hey Evan, do you have a t - shirt or something I could borrow? I feel bad that you're giving me all your clothes. ❞ Maria needed a shower and while she could manage the same pants, she definitely needed a clean top to put on. He disappeared and reappeared into the kitchen quickly. Evan was holding a shirt and she thanked him. ❝ I'm just going to take a quick shower and then we can go. ❞ Maria took the shirt from him and grabbed her small pile of clothes off the living room floor. Her icy blue eyes caught the sign in her peripheral once more and she shook her head. That TV. She sighed before vanishing into the bathroom.

It didn't take long given the inability to properly brush through her long hair. Perhaps it was time to just cut it all off. New changes and all. What was losing one more thing when so much was already taken? Maria's hair was snarly and tangled and she settled on throwing it into a very messy bun. When she returned, she had Evan's shirt on. It was much longer than her own and it hung a good ways off her hips. She bunched the bottom of it with a hair binder and pulled on his jacket. With that, she was virtually ready to go. When was the last time she went without makeup for this long? She couldn't even remember. Most of the marks were gone now. There was just some feint bruising around one eye and a few small scratches on her face. The marks on her neck were gone, along with the bump that had receded a couple days prior. At least her appearance was starting to return to normal, even if her life wasn't. ❝ I uh, think I'm ready. ❞

The silence between them seemed to stretch on for an eternity and Ryder was beginning to think this was a huge mistake. He watched nervously as Elisa refused to make eye contact and her face flushed. Was this embarrassing to her? She was probably fighting the urge to laugh and was taking this time to figure out how to let him down easily without ruining their friendship. He was still holding in that breath, just waiting for her to say something. Hell, he'd even take a rejection at this point in time if it meant he could brea -- "Y-yeah. Uh. Sure. Sure!"

Oh. Well all right then. He exhaled in relief. Ryder felt a flood of emotions bubble up in him at that. This was good. She said yes in that nervous energetic way of hers. Her turquoise eyes dropped to their feet and he couldn't help but stare at the back of her neck for some reason. When she tucked the lock of hair behind her ear, Ryder had this sudden compulsion to do it as well. He balled his hands into fists at his sides to keep from doing anything stupid. This was a big step forward.

He cleared his throat.

"Ah. All right. Sounds good. I'll uh ... come get you later." Ryder scratched at the back of his neck nervously. There was another moment of silence and he wondered if she was regretting saying yes. Cupid's Brew, he had to keep reminding himself. This was good. Either it was working, or he lucked out. Regardless, he was pleased.

She looked back up at him in a snap, "Um. Richie! Yeah. Um. I'm going to uh, go wake him now. Yeah." she gave an awkward giggle before stepping to her side to try and cross him but they had that awkward moment of when she would step to the side, Ryder would go the same way and when he stepped the other way she would go that way too and they would just end up facing each other the whole time. That called for a couple more incredibly awkward laughs and finally when he just stopped and let her pass, she laughed once more, shaking her head slightly at their ridiculous little encounter. Then, she bolted up the stairs as if she couldn't get away from him fast enough.

Maybe she couldn't. He grunted in frustration and made his way to the kitchen for a sandwich. Ryder would have liked to have gone back to his room, but with Elisa in the hall upstairs, it would mean having to walk past her and he just wasn't sure he could handle that right now.

"Hmm... what now.... I would grill you for information Alex but I have a feeling that Nat would yell at me, so give me a second while I think of suitable conversation.."

Even if Natalie didn't yell at her, he'd rather not be interrogated if he had the option to avoid it. Normally he wouldn't mind being asked questions, but the last time he wonder what Estelle wanted to ask him, he ended up confessing to Natalie. Not that he regretted doing that. So he had no idea what Estelle might try to ask him.

"I wonder what's going on in that head of yours sometimes. Seriously, I know I don't normally leave that much room for comments, but you keep to yourself a lot."

Well that's how he always was. Sure he'd changed somewhat compared to how he was 2 years ago and defiantly compared to how he was 4 years ago, but there were some things that wouldn't change. The amount of talking that he did was one of those things.

"Well I never was one for talking often." He started. That pretty much summed it up without explaining anything about how he was in the past.

​

Oh god what. What was Estelle getting at?​

​

"I wonder what's going on in that head of yours sometimes. Seriously, I know I don't normally leave that much room for comments, but you keep to yourself a lot."​

​

So what? Nat-​

​

Same with you I find Nat, hopefully you talk more to yourselves then you talk in front of me."​

​

Yep, there it was. The part where she realized Natalie was quiet too. Or the part she mentioned it... She must have realized it before. And about talking amongst each other more than to Estelle, that was just a boyfriend girlfriend thing. Ha. Ha. Ha.​

​

"When I was your age, I wasn't very talkative either. I was very to myself kind of like you."​

​

Wasn't that just like three years ago?​

"Ahhh young love. Once upon a time I remember Vega having a special New Years eve." ​

"HEY you shut up in there! I heard that Estelle!"​

"It's too much to tease you guys, Sorry. Mostly just you, Vega"​

​

These two were way too much. "Okay, well, how about we go watch a movie? Something to keep us occupied." Natalie HAD to get Alex away from here, or else Estelle would drive the poor guy away with her questions, which were rather sarcastic and intrusive.​

 

Evan Allen Walker:{~~~Day 11 (3/4)~~~December 31st, 2015, Friday~~~Location: Ice Skating Place~~~Mood: Totally Got This~~~Music~~~Ooc:~~~}

Evan was elated to hear Ria's response of going out to ice skating. He had decided it had been his new year's resolution to go and learn how to do such an activity before, and now he was getting a one day head's start. Oh yeah! After being asked if he had any spare t-shirts he went around his apartment when until he found a perfect for Ria. After handing her the t-shirt he said "No trouble at all, gives me a chance to wear different clothes," he said with his happy go lucky attitude. Evan watched Ria as she stepped into the shower and patiently awaited her return from said bathing activity. He watched as Ria came out and looked fully ready to go. "Alright then, let's march!" With that Evan escorted Ria out of his house and off they went.

Off the duo went on a walk to the nearest ice skating rink available and as such they eventually found themselves getting a pair of ice skates to use. Bowing a little and motioning his arms to the rink he said, "after you milady."After Ria went on the ice Evan followed her to skate. Only there was one minor problem with Evan skating on the ice. And that was that he was absolutely god awful at it.


The moment Evan stepped on the ice he fell down almost immediately. Getting up he continued slipping and following around feeling the cold ice press against him each attempt after attempt. It was probably one of the most pathetic yet comical moments of Evan's life. The man was easily drawing attention to himself, because who doesn't look at a grown man floundering about on the ice. However the entire time, Evan didn't seem to get frustrated or depressed it at all. He just kept laughing with each failed attempt and had a "I'll get it this time" mentality . Amidst all the faliure, Evan said to Ria,"so having, wah-" he fell down again. "Having fun?"

 

[/url]

​

​

They reached the skating rink and sat inside the warm outbuilding to put on the skates. She rubbed her hands together and tried to prepare herself for a long skate session. This might be exactly what she needed. When they were both properly laced up and done awkwardly walking out to the frozen water, Evan bowed and motioned to the rink. ❝ After you milady. ❞​

Maria managed a smile and a playful, ❝ Why gee thank you kind sir. ❞ She glided out onto the ice effortlessly. Ice skating was a childhood past time for her. Even with going 8 months out of the year without the frozen lakes, she always managed to pick it up again just as quickly. Evan on the other hand, seemed to be struggling a great deal. Maria made a few laps around the rink, keeping a watchful eye on him. Every time he fell, he seemed to pull himself back up again and keep going. He even laughed a few times as he went. Evan was probably the strangest cheery person she had ever met. Did anything get him down? It was nice to see though. Someone needed to have a smile on their face -- it wasn't her.​

​

She eventually circled back to him, coming to a stop at his side. Amidst all the falling, Evan said to her, ❝ So having, wah - ❞ he fell down again, ❝ Having fun? ❞​

​

Maria nodded and held out her hands to help him up. ❝ Yeah, it's great. ❞ There wasn't any excitement in her voice, but a genuine smile did cross her lips. ❝ Here, let me help you Evan. ❞ It was easier to learn to ice skate when there was someone to teach you. She held firmly onto both of his hands and skated slowly backwards. ❝ You do a lot of roller skating right? It's really not that different. You just have to take your time starting out and know when to brake properly. ❞ Maria stared down at their feet and watched the movement of his skates. ❝ Pizza and French Fries, right? ❞​

Evan Allen Walker:
{~~~Day 11(3/4)~~~December 31st,2015, Friday~~~Location:Ice Skating Place~~~Mood:Totally Got This~~~Music~~~Ooc:~~~}


Evan was, obviously struggling to get his feet off the ground...or rather stay on the ground. He was extremely elated to hear that Ria was having a good time here, despite what her inflection might have suggested. As he continued to stumble around like a chicken with his head cut off, Ria eventually extended out her hand to him. ❝ Here, let me help you Evan. ❞ And who was he to not take her help. He grabbed her hand and then grabbed her other hand as they started going across the ice. Evan still felt extremely unsteady, yet having the support of Ria holding him up did help out a good deal.

❝ You do a lot of roller skating right? ❞

"Despite what you might be seeing now, I do indeed," he said this with a slight hint of embarrassment behind his voice.

❝It's really not that different. You just have to take your time starting out and know when to brake properly. Pizza and French Fries, right? ❞

That did sound a good deal like rollerblading, not to mention pizza and french fries did sound delicious at this moment. It was that moment he remembered that Pizza and French Fries was a common beginners technique of moving and positioning your legs when ice skating. He tried to do just this but was still pretty awkward in his balance and his movements. While he did feel like the same concepts were imparted from rollerblading into this he felt more restricted in his ice skates than he did his rollerblades. But nevertheless he would have to continue going on, no matter how difficult the journey may or may not be for one to learn the intricacies of basic ice skating, Evan was determined to make sure that he learned them all. He eventually let go of Ria's hands and, while he did flounder about at first, he was able to stand on the ice...sort of. His balance was still really awkward and he was still bobbing and tipping with his legs fidgeting a bit here and there and but he was sort of standing on the ice."Se-see, I think I'm- whoa oh- gettin the hang of th-this."

 

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up, sleepyhead!! Time for somw yummy yummy kawaii asian cuisine at hibachi!!"

Rubbing his eyes with a yawn, Richie awoke to the cheery voice. As if by instinct, he automatically grinned upon hearing her speak. He blinked a few times, then sat up and stretched. He looked to Elisa and replied, "Oh right! Oh gosh I'm so excited, this is gonna be so much fun!!" as he hopped out of bed and headed towards his dresser. Picking out a simple, but cute, outfit composed of a thick animal sweater and light green jeans, he twirled his finger towards his best friend, signaling for her to turn around. She complied with a giggle, and the blonde quickly changed into his selected clothing. In addition, he applied some deodarant and spray to his body. Looking into the mirror in front of him, the boy adjusted his bedhead into an acceptable part. He made his way into the bathroom and promptly washed his face and brushed his teeth, quickly returning to his bedroom.

"I'm ready! Let's go yay!!"

Grabbing Elisa's hand, he led her down the stairs. He called out to his family, who were most likely in the kitchen, that he would be back soon. Peering into the living room, Richie noticed Ryder sitting uncomfortably. He semmed happier than usual, yet extraordinarily red-faced. The thought of Cupid's Brew crossed the blonde's mind. / No no, you told yourself yesterday that he didn't use it. Elisa would be all over him twenty-four seven... don't worry about it... /

Noticing he was staring off into space, the boy smiled at his best friend and the duo left the Duvont home. They hopped into Richie's car, and off they headed towards their favorite hibachi place. Richie would of course get the chicken and steak combo, while Elisa would probably get grilled veggies like usual. Oh this was going to be so enjoyable!! (⌒▽⌒)

--

A car pulled into the snowy driveway, coming to a steady halt. Out of the vehicle emerged the two best friends, holding hands and giggling uncontrollably. Their time together at hibachi made them very giddy and joyful. They entered the cozy home and collapsed onto the couch. Richie turned on the teli to Cartoon Network. The Adventure Time theme song blasted out of the speakers, causing the two to jump with shock and excitement.

Yaaaaaaaaaay Adventure Time!! ♪( ´▽｀)

"Ok, sounds like a plan-" Estelle cut herself off as her phone rang. "Sorry, I have to take this. Be right back." She answered the phone. "Yes, uhhuh. Yes. Got it. Ok. No problem." Estelle finished her phone convo. "Sorry guys, It looks like you'll have to go without me. Amaya just called, see, she went out with some friends the other night, and today they went skating, but she hurt her head on the ice. I told her to wear a helmet. "Anyway, you guys go right ahead. I don't want to ruin your fun." Estelle said."Seriously, Get going." Estelle winked at them both, then headed out of the shop​

☆​

"Amaya, how are you holding up?" Estelle asked on the car ride home. "I'm ok." She muttered. "You have to be more careful ok? We can't afford any more hospital bills. I don't think we have proper coverage on things like this." She said. "I'm sorry Essy I-I was trying to be careful I was." She said. "Awww it's ok. I'm going to take care of you don't worry." She said. They pulled up into the drive way. ​

​

​

"It looks like Alex and Nat left, I hope they're having fun on their date." Estelle smiled. "Estelle, why did you pick her up I was going to." Vega said, walking into the room. "I want to send the kids off on their date early. This was a good excuse." Estelle said. "Now come up stairs Amaya, you lie down on the couch, I'll read you something." Estelle told her. She sat down on the couch.​

"The start of grade 11. Not much to talk about. A little town, a small highschool. Radiant Sunsets. The sun shone down on my long, curly gold hair. As the wind blew by I could feel my pink dress flow along with the wind. My Ocean coloured eyes stared ahead. It was only a few more years. I had made bonds like no other here, at this school. My bestest friends. Demetry, a few months older than me, with spiked brown hair and bright green eyes. His smile lit up any dark room. Lorie, the boy next to him, was tall, Blond shortish hair with what we called ‘Anime Bangs’ He was prefect. Good at sports, popular. Everything a girl could want. Accept for me. I’m not like the others girls. I just never got along with any either. They had always been my friends. Lorie could be mean to the other kids sometimes, but I knew he didn’t really mean it. It didn’t matter anyway… cause I guess I was pretty mean too… back then... but people changed... and so did I..." Estelle started to read. "Oh yes, I love this story." Amaya said. Estelle smiled. As she kept reading, all she could think about was how Alex and Nat were doing.... ​

✖ LOCATION ↝ DUVONT'S ✖​

Richie seemed like he was back to his happy, charming and energetic old self the moment he had opened the door. It was really exciting and pleasant - and it particularly gave her heart time to cool down and not have cardiac arrest as it took her mind off from Ryder. They hurriedly exited the home, making sure they greeted the other family members goodbye - including the older twin, who she couldn't seem to look at in those beautiful eyes of his once more.

They made it to their favourite restaurant and ordered their usual dishes. Elisa made sure she brought her phone, which had internet access, and her mini DSLR camera so they could have photos and videos and such. There was pretty much non-stop giggling and smiles and silly faces making. The waiter-but-also-cook entertained them while he cooked and fried their food in front of them. The two teens never failed to be impressed and the one with the turquoise hair made sure she filmed the skilled and energetic waiter-but-also-cook.

Time seemed to pass much more than they had realized. From a simple brunch, it was already sometime in the afternoon and without straying from their cheerful attitudes they left and made their way back to the Duvont household. Once they were there, they snuggled on the couch and watched some television - which showed one of their favourite shows, Adventure Time!

Needless to say, the time the two best friends spent together was a time spent extremely well. Now that they were back in the Duvont home, Elisa couldn't help but think of Ryder. He was probably right around the corner, just up his room or something - and yipes! She was really going to go out with him! She felt her face flush as she continued to watch Princess Bubblegum journey through the land of magic alongside her vampire lover. She snuggled into Richie a little bit more, feeling the warmth from his body.

How was the date going to go? Like, actually start? Was she dressed well enough for it? Did she have time to go home and dress up or for the convenience of it all were she and Ryder just going to head out from here? Hold on one second. How about the date itself?! How was she supposed to act? What were they going to do aside watch fireworks from the park? Were they going to take a midnight walk together and hold hands and snuggle to watch th- Ahhhhhhh! Her cheeks definitely burned at the sweet thought. Oh my, perhaps she just shouldn't think at all? Oh but goodness she had to! She was barely even herself whenever she would be around the blonde cutie nowadays.

Then, speak of the devil, Ryder came into the living room - probably drawn out by the loud screaming noises the colorful characters on the telly were making. Her blue eye immediately locked with his and she felt her body tense. The impulse to immediately pull away from Richie and sit up straight was a strong temptation - but instead she kind of squeezed him a little tighter when her breathing stopped. She stared at him for a moment as various thoughts, much like the ones she just had, entered her mind.

Oh snaps. She's been staring. Just staring. That must have been so strange - and not to mention pathetic. Her cheeks remained flushed as she gave him a small smile and a wave then looked back at the television. She tried to take a deep breath to calm herself down but made sure to not make it too obvious.

What was going to happen next? Her hands felt clammy and her stomach tied into knots. She quickly glanced at Ryder but back at the tv immediately when their eyes met again. Were they going to leave soon? What was he going to say? What would they tell Richie? She continued to watch Adventure Time on the screen and part of her just wished it was simpler. Perhaps it would have been easier if Ryder was the adventurous hero and she was the princess and they would fight monsters and eventually fall in love.

But no. This was a date, which was definitely a much greater challenge.

Evan seemed to be doing all right with Maria's help and to that she was thankful. With things being as crappy as they were, she would have only felt worse had she not been able to teach him. Showing Evan what to do was actually rather comical. It reminded her of teaching small children -- lots of praise and encouraging words. She spaced out for a few minutes, thinking about the future. Kids had never been something she pictured for herself, but now she suddenly liked the idea of it. However, those happy thoughts didn't last long. Instead, they were replaced with the fear of losing said imaginary children to some horrific event because her life was too much of a mess to handle anything good in it.​

​

She shook her head and sighed longingly.​

​

Evan eventually let go of Maria's hands and while he did flounder about at first, he was able to stand on the ice, sort of. His balance was still really awkward and he was still bobbing and tipping with his legs fidgeting a bit here and there, but he was sort of standing on the ice. That was a bonus. Let's hope that he could just glide easier. She spun around and came up beside him, easily keeping pace. ❝ Se-see, I think I'm- whoa oh- gettin the hang of th-this. ❞​

​

Maria smiled softly and tucked a lock of moonlight blond hair behind her ear. ❝ You're doing great Evan. ❞ she encouraged. She stuffed her hands into the large pockets of Evan's jacket to keep them warm. Her breath puffed out in little white clouds before her and her cheeks were flushed with color from the cold. Maria pulled out her phone to see that there was nothing new and reluctantly stuffed it back into the pocket with her hands. Without helping Evan, her mood was beginning to grow melancholy. There wasn't much to take her mind off things and her lips flattened into a line. ❝ Did you want to do something else today Evan? If not -- I should probably head home at some point. ... ❞ Her gaze dropped to the white skates on her feet as they glided over the ice.​

The day hadn't been quite busy for Julius and for him there was nothing really going on. To his dismay the man woke up quite late, but luckily he really didn't seem to be needed in the interval that he was sleeping. His body screamed for more sleep, but Julius decided to ignore it and stay awake for the duration.

He didn't know just how the young girl was coping with the death and since everybody had their own way of dealing with things Julius merely left her be. He remained awake solely to help the girl with whatever she needed. He was quite willing to help her out and it didn't matter the pain he felt.

With a sigh Julius laid on his bed silently. The pain was fading and soon he would be up again and be able to move freely. The thought of getting out of this hospital was nice, but he still thought back to Noelle. Had he not sent Jonathan to her side then Julius would have rushed there himself. He needed to see her and as much as he wanted to, his body would not let him. Closing his eyes he soon drifted off to sleep.

 

Evan Allen Walker:
{~~~Day 11(4/4)~~~December 31st, 2015, Friday~~~Location:Ice Skating Place/Bar~~~Mood:Totally Got This~~~Music~~~Ooc:~~~}


Evan had slowly but surely been gaining a handle on his whole ice skating problem. He was learning how to stand without collapsing and was nearly at the point where he could move without it actually being some sort of awkward walk like thing. Furthermore, Ria had kept encouraging which made his already bright disposition to the whole situation that much brighter. He knew that at this rate there was no way he couldn't do this. Granted Rome wasn't built in a day and neither were ice skating skills, but he was getting the basic foundation down. After a while of this whole, trying to ice skate thing, Ria eventually skated back to him.

❝ Did you want to do something else today Evan? If not -- I should probably head home at some point. ... ❞

Evan had to think on this for a bit. He wasn't entirely sure to do today since it was New Year's Eve, which he normally spent alone anyway, but Ria was here and he couldn't leave her so disappointed with nothing to do. So instead he told her what he normally would do. "Well it being New Year's Eve an all, generally what I'd do is go out and have some fun at a local bar before going to a bakery and picking up a really large cake, that I'd then eat over the course of the week."Evan continued to think on this. Ria didn't exactly seem old enough to drink alcohol legally yet...or was she? He was a bit confused on her age actually. Regardless they had soda at bars right? So he decided that they should go to their local bar.


Despite any form of resistance she might've had Evan ended up dragging her along to the bar. Afterall he was not having one of his friends spending the better part of New Year's Eve by themselves, and he didn't really know what else to do to help cheer her up. Besides bars were a fun place for all ages right? When they got in there, there was none other than Mr. Boss man Erik there."Yo Erik, been a while." He ended up dragging Ria along with him to talk with Erik.

‹|Frantically Nervous|›​

​

› Freya stood there, staring at Tucker, his bright red hair blowing ever so softly in the gentle breeze.

『H-Hi..』​

› He barely managed to squeak out.

​

『H...hey...』​

​

› The awkward pair stood there for a second, just staring at each other. Tucker broke the silence asking if it'd be okay to come in. Forgetting herself for a moment she awkwardly fumbled around her words.​

​

『C-come on into the inside..eh..come in, please...』​

​

› She was barely able to think straight. She took his coat and placed it on the rack and ushered him into the kitchen, where she'd been preparing his favorite meal (Whatever that may be, coughDinnycough). ​

​

『Have a s-seat, right over here.』​

​

› Her heart was pounding in her chest as she nervously brought two plates to the table, her hands shaking. Tucker looked conflicted between the smell of his favorite food and her presence.​

​

『Would you like something to drink?』​

​

› She had spent the whole day at the market trying to figure out what he liked to drink, in the end, she had, embarrassingly enough, brought home just about one of every type of drink she thought he might like. After making his decision, she poured them both a tall glass and sat down for what was sure to be the most awkward dinner of her life.​

​

『T-Tucker, I'm sorry about the other day, when I got all...emotional and sort of maybe poured out my heart a little..I didn't mean to put you in such a position...I-』​

​

› Tucker put his hand up and reassured her that he was alright, and told her how sorry he was that it ended the way it did, but he was happy that they were spending time together. Freya was relieved, but she was still curious about one thing. ​

​

『S....So did...anything strange happen that day? Just...just curious?』 ​

​

› He thought for a moment, and remembered the near-accident he'd been in after almost falling asleep at the wheel. She was shocked, for a moment, but realized he must obviously have been okay, if he was sitting across from her now.​

​

『I'm glad you're okay, Tucker, I don't know what I would have done if something had happened to you I...I really care about you.』​

​

› As the two talked and ate, the meal came to a close, putting away the dishes and leftovers, the two continued to talk about everything and nothing, sharing stories of their childhood, and their hopes and ambitions. The two made their way to the couch and before either of them knew what had happened, hours had passed.​

​

『It's...getting late, isn't it?』​

​

› He looked at the clock and realized the time. Freya looked off into the distance for a brief moment.​

​

『Y..you know...you don't have to go home if..if...you don't want to...』 ​

​

› Tucker looked at Freya, who was avoiding eye contact, and took a deep breath.​

​

(He then answered either yes or no and we will have to wait and see until Dinny gets back about whether or not he stays and gives her some aggressive cuddling, but either way, Freya's in bed.)​

"Whats your family like Shane? Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"Well right now it's just me, my mom and dad at the house. Although I do have a brother and a sister, they just don't live within the town." He answered. There were the few occasions where they came to visit that wasn't during the holidays, but that wasn't as frequent as it used to be.

"Oh, that reminds me, today I can show you the Video game room. There's this side, the TV, Gaming Systems, Games. Then on the other side is the theater, which also has a set of video game systems. Any thing you can think of I bet you it's here. Oh, and on the wall waaaaaaaaay over there. There's a bunch of Computers lined up. Let me show you."

His ears perked up at the mention of a video game room. He clearly remembered that her dad was a CEO for Video Games so he was quite eager about what he was going to see. The moment he stepped foot into the room, he felt as if he'd died and gone to gamer heaven. Just about the entire one side of the room was filled with games and other sorts of electronics. Yep, he definitely felt like a kid in candy store right now.

"What do you want to do?"

As if that wasn't already clear by the antsy expression on his face. Right now his mind was on playing some of the games before him. "Um, can we play some of these games?" Couldn't hurt to ask first before grabbing the one that he wanted to play.
