Paradise chuckled, "Don't worry. That snack bag right there only has YOUR name on it. I won't touch it. (Snack bag XD I love it))" She smirked at him, with his response. "I guess I'm not a big fan of animals. So i've never been there." she shrugged.

~

           Andrew shrugged, "Not you personally. I would have checked if a 9 year old took it. I'm guessing you have no idea how people are these days? Take the wallet, take the money, hand the wallet back? Yeah, that's how people are." He rolled his eyes, at the thought.

"I'm not nine." Aryia crossed her arms and Shii stuck his tongue out at the boy. "Besides, check the wallet then. I've still got money, since I only got some food for him." She patted Shii's head and he nuzzled her hand affectionately.

"What are you saying?" Akira twisted his face in a look of mock shock. [IT RHYMES] "Everybody loves animals!" He said cheerfully, and dug a chocolate bar out of his snack bag, quickly unwrapping it and beginning to chew on it. "Yeah... mom's going to yell at me again for this amount of food." He took a quick glance at his bag. "Mnn... I'll just finish most of it before I reach home." He grinned.

Andrew rolled his eyes, at Shii. "I already checked the wallet. It's all there. I wasn't accusing you, I was being smart, and making sure." He looked from her to Shii, and then to Aryia again. "I wasn't accusing you , Okay? Calm down." He smirked. 

~

Paradise laughed at him. She believed she's never met a man, or anybody for that matter, who ate so much. "Wow..." She said with a laugh. Smiling at him, as she added, "I don't know..Maybe the smell kind of makes the 'love for animals' go.." She shrugged. 

Akira waved his hands at her like a disgruntled secretary. "Oh, nonsense." He said in an old lady voice. "You'll get used to the smell... I bet you didn't even go to the zoo." He teased her. "The little baby tigers are adorable!"

---

Aryia regarded the guy. 'What a weirdo.' She thought. "I see you noticed Shii." She said, when she saw his eyes flick to her pocket. She covered him with her hand in a protective manner, since who knew what was going on in this guy's mind. "Alright. I guess I apologize for getting mad over nothing." She paused and wondered if this guy would say sorry for his behavior. She gave a mental shrug. 'I doubt it.' Aryia thought.

            Paradise smirked at him, "Yes...When I was younger, I did go to the zoo. But my mom said, I never liked it then either.." She shrugged, and rolled her eyes teasingly back at him. "So...You like animals and stuff like that?" She asked. Still walking with him, with no real exact place she was going.

~

           Andrew shrugged, "No big deal." He got distracted for a moment. Watching as a little toddler fell down, and hurt her chin on the tile. He was so tempted to go over their and help. He could heal in less then 5 seconds, for FREE. He'd do it for no charge. And he could hear them saying, they have to go get stitches. Which probably is expensive. He gulped quietly, clenching his jaw. "I'll see ya..." He mumbled, as he walked over, and nonchalantly, put his hand on the toddlers face. Cupping his hand around her cheek, casually, and talking to the toddlers mom. Acting as if he wasn't healing it. The second he could feel he healed it just right, he finished the conversation and let go of the toddlers face, and just to be sure, left a little mark. So they wouldn't be as suspicious. He got up, and walked away before they could ask him any questions. Though he could hear some murmurring. "Good luck..." He said quietly, as he walked away from them. Brushing pas.sed Aryia, hoping she didn't see anything either. 

Akira nodded happily. "Of course I do." He stated. "Animals are nice. Nice and friendly. And non-judgemental. And they like to eat." He grinned and threw his wrappers into the trash can, pulling out and popping a little tube of M&Ms.

"What were you doing with that kid?" Aryia asked, eyeing the boy suspiciously. He held that kid for a rather long time, especially on the bruised area. Shii stared at Andrew too, flicking his tongue out and hissing. "I doubt it, Shii." Aryia murmured, patting his head. "We are unique." She whispered in a low and foreign voice. "In my life, I haven't met anyone that has..." She trailed off, but her snake stared back persistently. Aryia rolled her eyes. "Fine." She said, and skipped back to walking in the same pace as the guy.

          Andrew frowned when he heard the female voice, from before. "I was seeing what was wrong with the kid...Wouldn't you do the same?" And saving them for paying stitches of course... He wouldn't dare say that. Then his secret really would be out. He put his hands in his pockets, and looked back at her. "What else would I be doing with the little one?" He said, acting casual. He looked at Shii, and looked away. She was quite odd to have that...thing in her pocket. He shrugged off the thought, and was wondering why he hasn't even left this girl yet. He sighed at his fate, of not being able to go away.

~

(( What should happen with them DX I didn't know what to put. I was going to get Paradise to say 'You should take me sometime then', but that wouldn't make sense, because she don't like the zoo...and it sounds kind of odd to say that to someone I guess BAHAHA ))

[[Psh, I laughed at what Andrew thought of Aryia XD She's kind of childish... :p Ah well. Kind of reminds me of myself. Maybe have Paradise ask Akira if he likes somewhere she likes :d ]]

 "I dunno. But Shii sai--" Aryia immediately shut up before she could finish. Her snake hissed at her. Aryia looked back at Shii. "Hey, don't blame me." She whispered, and turned back to the boy. "Well, then you must like kids." Aryia said in her usual cheery voice.

[[Bleh. Short post.]]

( Bahahahaha!

Wait...Do you mean, does Akira like someTHING she likes?

I gotta go :( 

BAI BAI! ))

( I BACK!

:(...Your sleeping....

Ohhhh okay. ;) ))

          Andrew shrugged, "I guess so." Of course he liked kids. Not that he planned on doing a job, taking care of them. He liked them for other reasons. They didn't talk. At least not like people his age. They didnt' start drama, and didn't have the 'Who likes who' scenerio's. "My mom says I've always liked first borns...Probably because they can't talk.." He shrugged, and smirked at her. Then frowned and looked away. Why was he being so open all of a sudden? He mentally noted to NOT be like that, and to just keep walking.

~

Paradise chuckled. "I can see how you and animals are alike..." Then added, "I guess I'd like the aquarium...Not as 'smelly'..You've been there, right?" She asked.

((I'll somehow just bring up the subject, for them going together some time....)

[[You is joking, right? My little brother [8], is THE DRAMA KING OF THE CENTURY. Once, he had a stomache, and when my mom tried to help him, he told her a bunch of crap like 'leave me to die in peace!'.]]

"Oh." Aryia tilted her head to one side. "I guess I like animals as much as you like kids, then." She said and grinned, while Shii stuck his tongue out at her and eyed the boy suspiciously. He hissed, though only Aryia knew what the words were. She paused for a bit and mumbled to Shii. "He seems harmless." She said to Shii, who shook his head in disbelief. Aryia rolled her eyes, and caught up to the boy's pace again.

---

"Of course I've been to the aquarium. You can pet the fishies." Akira said cheerily. He paused and decided not to tell Paradise how bad the turtles smelled in the aquarium. It would have been a nice surprise for her.

(( Bahahahaha! That's funny! Yeah my niece [7] isn't how I described kids, in Andrew's POV...But It's all good :)

Hrm...I wonder how long this mall is...Because Paradise and Akira, have been walking for a while, BAhAHAhaHA :PP ))

Paradise smirked at him. "Ooooh." She nodded her head, and hesitated on adding jokingly, "You should take me sometime then." she shrugged, and smiled at him. "Wouldn't be that fun to go alone."

~

(( XD...:P....:)....What should happen with Andrew and Aryia now?))

[[I dunno. I guess Aryia is a clutz, so maybe you can make Andrew kind of 'suspect' her of having a power, since Shii suspects Andrew of having a power too. :p]]

Akira shrugged. "Okay." He said, and took her by the arm. "Let's go now!" He announced happily, and charged off, dragging Paradise along.

[[Blehhh shooorrrttt post.]]

( :(! I have to go!

Horse back riding!! BAI))

((Oooohhh..I wouldn't like lessons...Horses kind of creeped me out...XD But I guess lessons sound funnnnn

LOL Why is it, the shortest posts, are always the best/funniest? <3

Me and Inna used to celebrate when someone did a one liner, so I don't really care if its a 'fail' or whatever..It's alllllll goood.

Maybe Aryia, and Andrew should get to know eachother a little more, before he 'suspects' anything in return. XD ))

Andrew frowned at Aryia. Why wasn't she leaving him alone? This wasn't some kindergarten playground where they could meet friends. This was the 'adult' sort of place. Where if you bump into someone, you say 'sorry' and walk away. Not follow, and ask why you were helping a mother out with a child. "You know...I think I should go now..." He said, sighing of relief. He did a careless wave to Aryia, and started going for the door.

~

Paradise gasped slightly when she felt him drag her. And he was just too energetic and fast for her to really keep up. "Now? Are you sure?" She asked, as they left the mall. "I have no money on me really...And I bet it is expensive.." 

[[Horses are de best D: Ever since I was a leeettle gurl I wanted a horse :p I dun like one-liners. But I run out of things to say. Usually it's because my charrie is waiting for the other charrie to speak... so yeah... Ohoho. Okai then :p I'll make Aryia even more persistent, thanks to Shii x] ]]

Aryia frowned back, crinkling up her forehead. "I give up." She said to Shii. "He's impossible." She mumbled. Her snake hissed in frustration, and then whispered a few words to her. "That's blackmail." She cried out, but Aryia recognized the determined look on Shii's face. "Fine." She mumbled. "Go to a mall, and this is what you get." She said, and trailed after the boy like a sad puppy. "I'm following." Aryia told him, but in a less enthusiastic voice.

---

"I do!" Akira replied instantly. "My treat, then. The aquarium also has this really nice restaurant..." He chuckled and stopped at the bus stop. "I'm not going to run a few miles just to go to the aquarium." Akira explained, shrugging. "Let vehicles do their job."
