Akila saw Kana and them. "Hey!"She said as she stood next to them. She had her black rose backpack on. She sighed after she found out that forgot something.

((~Ish braindead~))

"My brother got me this. It's wierd though."She said.

Thanera leaped up and did a flip over the fence on one side of the dark alley.  As expected, there was her group, her family. 

"Hey Kana, Macy Akila...  Come one Koron, girls are like that.  Don't go.  They were just joking." Thanera smiled.  "Whoa, whoa, whoa.  Where did the sodas come from?  Didn't anyone get me one?"  And she laughed.  

When it was obvious that no one really did get her a soda, Thanera simply went to sit on a crate in the corner with a lazy ex
pression.  She took out her swiss army knife and started playing with it, flipping it in and out.  Then she had a good idea.  Thanera put away her knife and held her hand forward.  A thin stream of water shot out of her hand, aimed at the ball of fire in Macy's palm.  But it missed it's target and went straight into Macy's face with a splash.  Uh oh.  This was not good.  Thanera tried, but failed to hold in a snicker.

"So... What's up?" 

"Ha ha!  Thanks!"  She said, standing up and popping it open.  "You are here because being different together is better than being different alone.  We're family.  You were unfortunate enough however to be the only boy.  And girls gotta have their gossip.  It's like... boys and football, except it's just talking.  Okay, scratch that thought.  This lecture is getting nowhere. And admit it Kana, girls gossip more than just once in a while."

She laughed and sat back down.  This was fun.  Just being with her group in the alley.

"Perfect, thanks."  Thanera said.  After sitting down, she reached into her pocket to scrape out what cash she could.  She barely had any.  Then she looked at the menu and picked out a cheap ravioli.  But it just seemed like they had too much time on their hands.  Life was only so long but it felt like an eternity if you did nothing, if you were not seen.  Realizing, she was just staring into space while contemplating the meaning of life, she tried to focus on the song playing.  Hm, sometimes she felt numb.  Thanera didn't want to keep thinking like this.  Maybe she could do something worth while.  "Guys, I'll be right back." 

Then, with her head down and her hands in her pocket, she walked out of the Italian restauraunt.  Just across the street was an old bar that surprisingly still in business.  It was actually pretty crowded.  Even better.  Thanera walked in, pulling her sweatshirt hood over her head.  Then she slipped past the drunken, loud, people and into the bathroom.  No one was in there.  But Thanera never came out.  Instead, a huge, stealthy cat leaped oud.  It was a white tiger, with distinct black stripes.  It's sapphire eyes shone with wildness.  Noticing the cat, people started running everywhere.  It was complete chaos.  The screams were extremely loud and some yelled profanities.  It was pretty funny to Thanera actually.  In her tiger form, she felt free.
