Wandering Around

*smiles and laughs*

That sounds good, but why don't you add some sausage to that.

*winks*

Should I or should I not....

*smiles wider*

*winks back*

Alright, then!!

I'll be right back out with that!

*goes back to kitchen to cook*

*thinks*
Gah, those eyes... they're so different... but lovely...

And she was actually flirting back.

*laughs as stomach growls*

Thank you Pete!

*smiles*
It's been a while since I've felt like this.
His smile...

*pulls out phone which was forgotten in the bag*

I forgot I had this...

*comes out of kitchen with two plates of food*

I took my break. Mind if I eat with you?

*smile*

*puts phone back in bag*

Of course! I don't mind at all.
I enjoy your company.

I can't believe I just said that...

So what can a person do for fun around here?

*smiles*

*smiles sheepishly*

I like your company too.

*sits down*

*thinks*

Well, there's not much, really... Unless you want to go and play video games at the arcade.

I would take you out to the go-cart track, but it looks like it's going to storm soon.

*eats and looks out front windows*

Maybe I should head down to the warehouses before it rains.
Have you seen Joe around here?

*looks around*

I wish I didn't have to right this moment

*sighs*

Yeah, I guess we should, huh?

*points*

He's back in the back. He's not allowed in the dining room, my manager's afraid he'll scare off customers.

*stands, taking their plates*

Come with me into the kitchen, and let me rinse these off, and then we'll go.

*smiles*

*giggles at the Joe comment*

Thank you for taking my plate.

*smiles*

This shouldn't take too long, it's just..
the description of the man being captured sounded like someone I knew.

*waits while Pete rinses off the dishes and follows him over to Joe*

Hey, Joe.

You ready to go?

-Joe-
Yeah. Been waiting for an hour.

*shrugs off of wall he was leaning against*

Alright this way...

-Pete-
*rolls eyes so only Nikki can see*

*follows Joe*

*laughs silently and walks next to Pete*

So how are we getting to the warehouses?
Walking? By Car?

I don't think they'll want to run with me

-Joe-
*points ahead to muddy, but red, Jeep*

We're going in my Jeep. *smiles*

Sorry it's so dirty, I haven't gotten around to cleaning it...

-Pete-
*whispers to Nikki*
Yeah, it's been about three years since it's been washed...

*aloud*

Alright, but I'll sit in back with Nikki...

You drive like a maniac, and I'd rather go over the windsheild than through it...

*winks at Nikki to show he's joking*

*climbs in the back of the Jeep as Joe gets in the drivers side and starts it*

*tries to laugh silently but fails and starts to cough*

No worries about the car, it happens.

*gets into the backseat shuts the door and Joe drives off*

So how did you two meet?

*sighs dramatically*
It all started in High School, when Joe decided to include me, a random person he had never seen before in a scheme to end school early for the day.

In short... he blamed me for pulling the fire alarm.

We've been best friends ever since.

*grins*

-Joe-
I did not blame you.

Well... unless you call pointing a finger blaming...

-Pete-
Uh, yeah, that would be blaming, buddy.

*laughs*

*laughs*

What a way to meet your best friend.
Probably one of the best stories I have heard.

And I've heard a lot

*notices slight raindrops on the windshield*

Are we getting any closer to the place?

-Joe-
*also notices rain*

Yeah, I'm gonna park here, and we can walk to where I was standing...

*parks the Jeep and gets out*

-Pete-
This place gives me the creeps, Joe. Why do you hang around out here?

*follows Joe to certain spot behind some trash cans*

-Joe-
*points out from hole between trash cans, ignoring Pete*

That's where the guy walked by. I was sitting back here, minding my own business, when I heard snarling, and what sounded like a short fight.

And then the guy walked right past over there, with the other kid on his shoulder.

*follows and listens to Pete and Joe*

This place has gotten really creepy...

*goes inbetween trash cans and begins looking for any sign of it was Scorpius being taken before the rain washes it away*

I really hope not it wasn't him. I really don't because this rain is going to wash away all signs

*notices something shiny on the ground picks it up and pockets it as the rain begins downpouring*

I love the rain!

*begins dancing*

-Joe-
Yeah, well, I'm going to car... I hate getting wet!

*goes to sit in the Jeep*

-Pete-
*laughs*

*goes over to where Nikki is*

*takes her hand and twirls her*

You're really graceful...

*realizes he said that aloud*

*blushes slightly*

He's not very sociable is he..?
*looks at Joe*


*twirls with Pete*

Aww, Thank you!

*smiles widely and continues dancing*
I can't believe I only met Pete a day ago, it feels like forever

*thinks*
She's so amazing.. did I really only meet her yesterday??

*glance over towards Jeep*
Nah, Joe's not really social...

Never has been, except with me.

*shrugs* Some people call him different, but that's why I like him.

A change from the norm, you know?

*lightning strikes a distance away*

*laughing*

As much as dancing in the rain is, maybe Joe has the right idea!! Should we head to the car?

I have to get back to work, anyways... Ugh../

I do understand!
Being normal is not funn.
I'd rather be called weird

*laughs and jumps at the sound of thunder*

...I've never lost that fear...

*sighs*

It is funn, especially when you have a good dancing partner.
*smiles*

I suppose though..
*grabs Pete's hand and runs back to the Jeep dripping wet*

-back at the B&B-
-Pete and Nikki enter, Joe drives off for his home-

*sighs heavily*
I should get back in the kitchen. My boss will be wondering where I went off to.

You can hang around in the dining room, or just go up to your room, and I'll see you later...?

I work pretty much all the time, considering my mom owns the place...

*sheepish smile*

*thinks* I didn't want to mention it before... I don't like bragging... but I want her to know that I'll be around.

*stifles a yawn*

I think I'll head up to my room for a nap.
I'll more than likely be hungry after I wake
So I'm sure we'll be seeing eachother around.

*hesitates*
Also thanks for dancing in the rain with me.
I hope you don't get in trouble for leaving!

*smiles and walks up the stairs to her room*

*whispers as watching her go up the stairs*
You're very welcome...

*turns and heads to the kitchen, where a scolding awaits*

*smiles at Pete's words*

--an hour and a half passes--

*yawns and gets out of bed*

Time to head for some food.

*streches and leaves for the dining room*
