Paradise shrugged back at him, "I'll have to pay you back later...Doesn't the bus even cost money?" She asked, cocking her head, and crossing her arms. Not meaning to, she changed the subject by saying. "Restaurant? I guess I am hungry.." She said, while patting her stomach lightly.

~

Andrew huffed, and turned around. "And why is that?" Great... How was he going to escape this girl, if he wasn't going to leave him alone? "I'm going home. Your not following me there." He added. If she knew where he lived...He really would die.

"Good, good, good." Akira said happily. The bus pulled up, and he dragged Paradise in. "I've got a bus card." He said, fishing it out of his pocket. He scanned it twice, to pay for Paradise. "Come on." He said, ushering her into a seat and sitting next to her. "I think the restaurant is one of them fast-food ones." Akira grinned happily.

---

"Umm...." Aryia struggled with a response. Shii coiled up her arm and up to her shoulder, and hissed a few words into her ear. "Because you are FUN." She said loudly, then shot Shii an annoyed look. "He's not fun." She whispered, and he nodded in agreement. Aryia sighed. 

Paradise laughed at him. He said it was a nice restaraunt. She should have seen it coming, with it being a fast food restaraunt. She smirked, and sat in her seat. "You take the bus often?" She asked. She's only been on the bus a couple of times, so she never got a 'bus card'. May be I should.. 

~

Andrew rolled his eyes, and huffed again quietly. He didn't really know how to respond to that. He was fun? That was a knew one. There were so many other...Unique words to describe him, to other people. But he sighed, at her and said, "Fine..." He shook his head, not trying to keep her away anymore. She found his weak spot. Irritating him so much, you'll get what you want by it. So then he added, "But feel free to leave, when you want." He rolled his eyes, at his response. Why was he letting her come along? He was most deffinately not showing her where he lived. Who knows how close they'll get? They were already talking alot, and he was being quite open lately, he didn't need her as a FRIEND too.  

[[Heehee. Bus card. Got that idea from my grandma in Singapore.]]

"Yes." Aryia nodded in confirmation. "You're fun." She laughed at that thought. "Oh yes, what's your name?" She asked, ignoring his comments about her leaving. "I'm Aryia. And this is Shii." She patted her snake's head. Shii stared at the boy, still suspicious of his actions with the human child. Aryia looked down at Shii and sighed. 'Maybe he just wants me to be friends with this kid.' She thought hopefully. 

---

Akira nodded. "Of course. Mom doesn't allow food in the car." He shrugged carelessly. "Though I don't like it when creepy stinky people sit next to me." He made a face at that thought.

[['Tis true, what Akira says. Once, on a school trip to Paris, we had to take the subway a lot of times. And then sometimes I had to sit next to weird people, sometimes I had to stand up. Once, the subway was so squishy, so I leaned over. And this lady started yelling at me in french, going all 'DON'T YOU TOUCH MA CAKE'. RUDE LADY. I didn't even bump into your stupid cake D: ]]

Andrew frowned, and said, "Andrew." simply. He kept staring back at Shii. Thinking Aryia was quite...Odd for having such a thing in her pocket. [I forgot what it was DX] He walked at her pace, and put his hands in his pockets. More of talking to himself, when he said, " 'Aryia'...Never heard that name before.." He smirked, and shrugged. He walked pas.sed the little girl he healed again. And hid his face a bit, as he heard. "I don't know! After this boy left, it was ...gone almost!' He sighed. Knowing he shouldn't have healed it almost all the way. Hoping Aryia didn't hear, he casually changed the subject, "So eh..You live.." He turned back at the mom, who was staring at them with shock still. "You live around here?" He asked, trying to push out the words again. I'm such an idiot! And walking faster. Finally far away from anyone suspicious.

~

Paradise made a slight disgusted look at the thought of knowing what kinds of people could go on this bus.What kinds of people could have been sitting on the seat she was sitting on. "I've only been on a bus twice from what I can remember..Thankfully I hadn't had anyone...stinky or creepy talk to me. " She said with a laugh.

((OMG..That made me laugh! :))  ^^ )) 

[[Shii 'tis a snake :p A poisonous and dangerous Black Mamba, to be exact :p x2 ]]

Aryia tilted her head to one side. "Boy, you sure are tense for someone your age." She said. "After all, most guys would be doing..." She paused and shrugged. "I really don't know." Aryia said. "Hey!" She piped up. "I know a great place to relax! The park is nice." She grinned at her excellent choice, and Shii nodded his head in approval. Not only did the park have a nice and relaxing atmosphere, it was the perfect place to catch live prey.

---

"Then you're lucky." Akira said. "Umm..." He looked up at the bus route. "Next stop will be ours!" He said happily, then brought out another bag of chips. "Barbeque flavored?" He asked, offering Paradise the open bag.

[[Pffft, I still remember it. And I couldn't fight back. The lady had a gang of old ladies backin' her up.]]

(( <3 I love those kinds of stories.

OMG I JUST REALIZED...

You got to go to ...PARIS!?!?!?! FOR SCHOOL!!?!?!?!?!?!

*Glares at TLD* Luckkkyyy....))

Andrew sighed. Knowing he couldn't win this battle between them. It was as if she already knew him. Just how to irritate him. Just how to get what you wanted out of him. Sooner or later, she'll probably get me to confess my healing ability... Andrew shook off the thought. Never! Never would he do that!

"Um...Sure...I guess." He shrugged, and walked with her to the park.

~

Paradise chuckled softly, and took the bag from him. "Thanks." She said with a laugh. She didn't think she's ever laughed this much with someone before. Something about this guys, odd personality. And his need for food made her laugh.  

[[What kind of stories? Yesh. Last year. School twip. To be honest, I didn't learn much. And didn't eat fancy. Mainly McDonald's. The only thing that sucked was the annoying little kids that were desperate to impress my friends and I, and my freakin' annoying teacher. Not to mention the other teacher from the other campus. Do you have school trips to other places often? : D ]]

"You're welcome." Akira said happily, and quietly at a few more chips. "Aw, it's time to get off." He stuffed the still-open bag and jumped out of his seat, helping Paradise out. "Alright, here's this the aquarium!" He announced cheerfully. The building resembled a giant fish, with gla-ss walls. "Let's go, let's go!" He said excitedly.

---

"Good!" Aryia grinned at Andrew and strolled to the park. "It's a good thing the park is so close." She said happily, letting Shii out of her hand. "Waiiit." She wrapped a tag around the mamba, which said 'belongs to Aryia'. She always feared that the snake would frighten someone and get himself killed. Shii hissed happily and slithered around her.

(( Just stories about random people, that make you laugh about them later XD

Like once I was going put put with my family last year, and there is a bar next door...And this guy was like drunk, and acting all wierd DX I don't remember much of it bahaha

I think only seniors...But I am a long way from there. [Not really...9th grade isn't too far ahead...] But seniors just go to Florida or something...Not like the other side of the country :O Or whatever. I am on the other side of the country, from Paris, I think..I don't know if you are ^^ But it sounds cooool to me! ))

 Paradise laughed at Akira quietly, and kept the chips in her hand. "Alright!" She said, while getting off of the bus. She looked at the giant fish, then started walking with Akira again. 

~

(( GOSH! I gotta go now :( DON"T reply yet...Becuase I didn't do Andrew..And I'll probably edit Paradise's part....BAi *Sniffles* )) 

(( America is where I am ^^ 

Bahaha! This is why I am failing in "History' all the time...I thought Paris, and all that was on the other side...:O ))

Paradise laughed at Akira, quietly. And making sure the chips didn't fall out of her hand, while they ran inside the building. When they were in there, she saw some people. But not too crowded. It's probably more crowded, when school starts, because of all the field trips teacher's take here. "So...Where do we go first?" She asked Akira. Knowing that he probably knew the best spots here.

~

Andrew watched as Shii got out of Aryia's hand, and 'slithered' around her. He still thought it was sort of odd, to have a snake. Out of all things. Too walk around with. "Snake harmless?" He asked simply while looking around as they walked into the entrance of the park. She was right. It was...Peaceful. Peaceful enough at least. There was some kid screaming and crying, but he knew how to drown that stuff out of his ear drums. Years of practice. He smirked at the thought of him being so close like she said. His apartment wasn't far from here, and he saw a woods right behind the park. Whenever he got sick of people, he will probably sneak in there. The thought, made him remember when he was a little boy. And he just figured out he could heal. He would always walk around the woods, and heal animals when no one was around. So easy to hide the secret back then... Now he was so obsessed with helping out people, he was stupid enough to do it in the mall. In front of everyone. Just to see the tears go away on a little toddler.  

[[Pft. LAME. YOU AMERICANS HAVE ALL THE COOL STUFF.]]

"Um.... Petting fish place!" Akira said happily, and quickly got the tickets from the irritated attendant. "Here!" He handed one of his tickets to Paradise. "I hope you don't mind getting wet from petting fishies." He smirked at her. 

---

"Of couuurse." Aryia lied. "He's non-poisonus." She said simply, and Shii raised his head to glare at here. Black Mambas were notorious biters who had deadly venom in their fangs. She followed Andrew's gaze. "Aww, poor kid." She murmured. "I guess you really do like kids." She said, grinning.

 [[I has idea! Since Andrew can heal anything, maybe I can get Shii seriously wounded... But that sounds mean XD]]

(( DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! ))

Andrew saw her grin, but didn't grin back. "Oh just let it go." He rolled his eyes and smirked without realizing it. Then went back too -__-. (Without the eyes...Just like the mouth part XD, I don't know how else to describe it DX) "And you mush really like 'non poisonus' snakes..." He said jokingly, chuckled silently at the thought.

~

Paradise smirked back, and sighed. "I guess I don't..." She said, as she made sure nothing would get ruined if it got wet. After she realized she was 'water proof', she took one of the tickets, and walked with him to the 'Petting Fish Place'.  

[[Pffft, I need to know how D: Any ideas how to maul a snake within an inch of his life despite being extremely potent?]]

Aryia paused for a minute. "Heyy... You kind of... smiled!" She said, making a ^^ face. [haha, TAKE DAT.] "Of course I like poisonus snakes!" She replied, then stopped. "By poisonus, I mean, not very potent, like maybe a sting." Aryia started backtracking in a reckless way. "Umm... Yeah." She scratched her head.

---

"They're innocent little fishies!" Akira said, bending down and patting the back of a very relaxed and slow sea turtle. "Seeee? Harmless." He grinned at Paradise and watched the sea turtle glide by his hands. A small school of fish swam by, brushing by Akira's hand that was still in the water. "Heehee. Scaly." He chuckled.

((UM...Someone see's it when Aryia gets distracted...And someone steps on it? IDK LOL ))

Paradise laughed at Akira's...Energy. There was many other words to describe him. But that was the best one in her head. Then knelt down beside him on one knee, and hesitated on putting her hand in. "So...They don't bite at all?" She asked, before putting her hand in. It layed on the top of the water, not wanting to pet one, until she heard a 'Yes. They don't bite'. Or something along those lines.

~

 (( ^^? Like her eyes were that :O

Sorry...I get confused easily..Which is weird, because usually I am more 'smart' with stuff in person...:/ So I usually feel like an idiot for this site. BAHAHAHA))

Andrew rolled his eyes slightly, when she pointed his smile out. He went back too -__- (BAHAHAHA) and said, "Yeah Yeah...I kind of did..." He put his hands in his pockets, and looked away again. Watching as the people here were slowly leaving. One after another. It was as if his wish came true. He nodded his head, at how she analyzed poisonous snakes. "So that's what Shii does? That little...'sting'?" He asked, not giving much eye contact anymore. He hated that too. 

Akira rolled his eyes. "No. Sometimes I see the attendant slip in the occasional piranha." He said sarcastically, then grinned. "Come on, Paradise! Kids go to this little place!" He pointed at a little boy and his sister, staring at a blue starfish in amazement.

---

[[^____^ Like dat :p All happy XD ]]

"At least I got one thing out of you." She said, smiling, then looked around. While she was talking to Andrew, it seemed like her mamba had slithered off. 'Probably hunting animals.' She thought. Usually he did that alone, since Aryia didn't like watching animals die. "No, Shii just... doesn't bite." Aryia said bluntly. 'Unless someone's gonna attack me.' She smirked at that thought

[[-ominous music- WHERE 'TIS SHIIIII? XD]]

Paradise rolled his eyes back at him, and stuck her hand deeper in the water. "Fine..." She muttered. A fish swam by, and she hesitated on pulling her hand away, but forced her hand to stay there. 

~

Andrew nodded his head, and looked around. Shii 'disappeared'. He frowned (As usual) and looked around. "Where is the sn...Shii?" He asked, catching himself from just calling him 'the snake'. He didn't know how attached Aryia was to Shii. Some people love their pets more then anything.

Akira observed Paradise's reaction with the fish. "You ain't gonna get any nibble from that." He said, and took her hand and held it down. When he did that, a few fish swam by to nip Akira's hand, and then Paradise's. Satisfied, the fish swam away. "See?" He grinned.

---

"Umm... probably hunting." Aryia said. "Because you know... That's what snakes do." She shrugged. "It's been sometime, though. He usually comes back now." She looked around and tried to resist calling out in his snake language, though Aryia knew Shii would be infuriated if she did that in public.

Paradise rolled her eyes at herself, and looked back at Akira. "Yeah.." She said with a laugh,as she kept her hand in the water. More fish swam by, and 'nibbled' on their hands. And she smirked. Looking back down at them.

~

Andrew looked around too. "Um..Does he know where you are? Maybe he got lost or something..." He said, looking for any sign of a snake.

(( SORRY...My almost 'one liner'..:/ )) 

"Told you it ain't so bad." Akira said easily, watching as the fish nibbled. "You're on your own now." He laughed and took his hand off hers, as more fish crowded around, curiously watching his hand shift in the water. "Oooh, starfish." Akira reached down deeper to touch a bright yellow starfish.

---

"I guess..." Aryia was starting to worry now. The park was almost empty, and there was no reason for Shii to be late. By now, Aryia was panicking. She glanced over at Andrew, and sighed. "Sorry, Shii." She murmured, and placed on knee on the ground, and her hand on the gra-ss. She whispered a few words, and the gra-ss glowed a brighter color, as a thin lush green trail started to form. "Shii!" Aryia cried, quickly taking her hand off the trail and following it. She paused. "Come on!" She shouted at Andrew, hoping he wouldn't ask any questions.

[[S'okay. Conversations in RPs usually tend to do that XD ]]
