"Nice name." Was all Amelia could really say. Too early for everyone to know why she was here. After watching the tourguide sigh, she noticed they were getting closer. She brought her laptop out again, and started to type.

"Hi." Dusk grumbled as they approached their destination. "This is as boring as Hell." She commented to Amelia. Her sightless eyes were hidden under her narrowed eyes. "This is my brother, Rel and he is way too excited." Rel floded his arms and glared at Dusk for a moment, before returning his gze to the window...

"Yeah, it's most likely gonna stay that way too. Hey Rel. And I noticed. He had the grin on his face since before we boarded the bus." Amelia resumed typing on her laptop......'I didn't think it would come to this. I've tried everything. So far nobody knows anything, but that won't last. Hopefully most of my mission will be completed......'

"What are you doing?" She asked, hearing the typing on the keyboard. (Writer's block. I will add more later.))

"Just typing. A story of sorts. More like real life." Amelia quickly closed the laptop. "So, you're Dusk? I heard you talking about how your brother drug you here. Is he a fan of birds, or something?"

"REally?"Dusk could sense that she was hiding something, but what was it and why? "Yes, Rel is a fan of birds and since I can't see them, Its pointless for me to be here, but whatever." She rolled her blind purple orbs in their sockets and stared at the girl...

"Before you ask, it's kinda my business what I'm typing. I can read people just like you can sense them. Well, maybe he just wanted you here." Amelia paused, as she watched Dusk stare at her. It was quite weird, yet fascinating. "You have really pretty eyes. Haven't met many people with purple eyes, even with contacts."

"Ya, but if only they were some use to me and its not like I can see what your typing, but it would be nice to know. Your the only interesting that has happened to me on this trip." She sighed in a bored kind of manner. She crept into the aisle and sat down next to Amelia. She wasn't gay, but Rel wasn't much company...

"Haha. I try to talk to just about everyone. Now I have to get your brother to actually say something to me, then I'll be good. I might let you know what I'm typing sometime, but not now. If you don't mind me asking....were you born blind? Or...?"

"Yep, unfortunately I was. My brother would be blind if he didn't have those gl*censored*es." Dusk nodded at his face and poked the gl*censored*es... ((ACK!))

"I would be too. I can hardly see a thing without these gl*censored*es. But eh, it could be worse. Wow, your brother hardly flinched with you did that. Kinda weird." Amelia looked over at Rel, who's cheerful ex
pression had turned into a somber frown. Poor kid. He's probably piffed off, she thought.

((Sorry, I poofed. D:)) Alec stood up.
"Alright guys, we're here." He said, opening the door. Surrounding them was immense gr*censored*land. "We'd better get off, it's already past noon." Alec was notably more mellow-- a strange quirk of his was that he was always bright and happy during the first bit of the tour before sombering down and becoming much more reasonable. "Winneba plain is a bit of coastal gr*censored*land-- you can see a wide variety here AND some you can see nowhere else in the world. Species that are like that are called 'endemics.'" "Black-Bellied Bustards are extremely common here, along with a crowd favorite-- tourists come year after year to see Red-winged warblers. There's also a special little bird here-- which you can see just to the right, excellent timing-- which is called a Yellow-shouldered widowbird."  tle="View Full Size Image" width="250" height="180" />

Amelia put away her laptop and stepped off the bus. She squinted at the bright sun glaring from the noon sky. "Really pretty birds. Winneba plain is a quite joyous and wonderous place." She drew her cellphone, a gift from a friend in higher power. She snapped some photos, before pocketing it and checking the time. 12:01. She sighed deeply. If they kept this up, I'll never complete the task, Amelia thought angrily.

Alec raised an eye at Amelia, but said nothing, and continued on the tour. Pretty soon it was past 6, and, with a full day of birdwatching under their belts, they headed back to the Orange Belt and to the hotel. Some of the photos taken of the highlights of the day: A rare and completely unexpected Black-necked Cisticola, of which no photos were taken. And a couple of Egyptian Plovers:  tle="By Bryce Bradfo... on Flickr" width="167" height="250" />

Rel gasped at the sight of the birds and grabbed Dusk's arm. Dusk twisted her arm and Rel let go and glowered at her. "Dusk, look at the birds!" He cried, pointing at the birds. He heard a shush from the crowd and quieted down. "I can't look at the birds." She forgot her twin was so forgetfull. "You seem agitated." Dusk watched Amelia when they got back to the hotel through her sightless purple orbs...

Amelia was quite piffed. "Stupid people...." She noticed Dusk watching her and went over. "So. Did you enjoy being dragged to the plain today?" She glanced over a Rel, who still looked happy.

"No." Dusk snorted and poked her computer. "Are you going to tell me what your doing now, maybe I can help." She said to Amelia, her arms folded. She was going to keep bugging Amelia if sh edidn't say something soon. While she was usually quiet, this was far more interesting than Rel and his birds...

Amelia sighed. She'd tell her, but not everything completely. "Well. I'm helping out some old friends. They want me to get some info from this tour. On my computer, is just a daily journal of sorts, and emails to my friends." That is about as much as she could say without blowing her cover.
