Okay good! You are really good at portraying your characters' feelings! xD
(July 21, 2017 - 4:07 pm)
Thank you! You are too! XD

Don't worry about it. I actually love the AE drama XD.
(July 22, 2017 - 7:19 am)
Okay good! I was pretty sure, I just wanted to check! I like AE drama too! Lol
(July 22, 2017 - 3:28 pm)
Same. XD I hope Wren wasn't too overdramatic. XD

I'm not upset, don't worry, but I am confused. In a lot of people's posts (Okay, maybe only 2 or something.) Lock is with Wren. Did they agree to go together?
(July 23, 2017 - 11:42 am)
Lock is not going anywhere with Wren.
(July 23, 2017 - 1:29 pm)
Really? I had no idea! Where?
(July 23, 2017 - 1:38 pm)
No, Lock isn't going anywhere with Wren....It could be I put 'Lock' in the name bar instead of 'Storm' by accident. Sorry about that if I did!

ED~
I stroll up to Viola's house and knock on the door. Soon, Viola appears.
"Hey Devin! Here for Nymph?" She smiles.
"Yep!" I reply.
"Nymph! Devin's here!" She calls.
Within a few seconds, Nymph comes out. She's wearing a beautiful beach dress with matching sandals, and her hair is up in a ponytail. I gasp.
"Good evening, Devin." She says.
"You look gorgeous."
"Um, thank you." She says. I hear Viola giggle behind her.
"Go away. I want to have some fun now." Nymph tells her.
"Don't stay up all night!" Viola says as she shuts the door.
Nymph waits until the door is completely closed. The beach is only down the street
"RACE YA!" She takes off toward the beach.
"Wait up!" I chuckle as I run behind her.

(Note from CBer: I hope Devin didn't control Nymph or Viola too much.)

Oh my gosh, I have a house. *squees* Don't worry, you did wonderfully. All right, I guess it's my turn now... I'm probably going to be a lot worse at this.
Nymph~
I run, I fly, barely even intending to sprout wings. I do a few somersaults in the air and tumble back to the ground, land exactly like a cat, with cat muscles and all, and glance behind me to make sure Devin isn't too far behind. But I'm looking in the wrong direction.
"Hey, no fair!" I shout, running after him, gaining because shapeshifter.
"What? Getting a head start?" he calls, turning around to run while looking at me. "You took the first one!"
I catch up. "Fine. But--" I grab his arm, jerking him to a halt and laying a finger across his lips to silence any protest.
"Don't run backwards, silly. You almost crashed into that tree."
His eyes widen, making me giggle, and I release him. We walk into the ball hand in hand.
~
Okay! Sorry if that was too controlling, it's just how the scene played out in my head. I can't wait to see what happens next!
(July 22, 2017 - 8:37 pm)
Squee! No, no, that was the cutest. ^^
Devin~
Hand in hand we walk into the ball. There are many Æs, some alone, some with partners. Some of them are swimming, some are eating, and some are sitting on beach towels talking. I notice a few Æs playing with their CAPTCHA. And then I realize it's Storm and Lock Kyar. Hmm, I thought Wren was going with Storm.
"Hey, this looks like a good spot to sit." Nymph says. I glance to the right. There's a beach stand selling all sorts of things, and also giving out free beach towels.
"I'll be right back."
When I come back to our spot, I have a beach towel under each arm. I set them down. Looking around, I don't see Nymph anywhere. I walk down toward the water, wondering for a brief moment where she was, but as soon as I step away from the towels, I feel the sting of cold water hit me over the head. I turn around to see a gleeful face trying not to laugh. I grin. I grab Nymph's arm and push her headlong into the water. She squeals as she falls into the cold water. When she stands up, her dress sags, dripping. She has a look of disgust on her face. I smiled sheepishly. "It's not cold, it's refreshing."
(July 23, 2017 - 8:07 am)
So cute! Okay, okay...
Nymph~
"It's not cold, it's refreshing."
I treat Devin to a withering look, then a devilish grin as I grab him by the wrist and swing him around and over, headfirst into the water. I flinch at the spray, but laugh at his spluttering, and that's how I get a handful of salt water flung into my open mouth. My splashing retaliation marks the beginning of a water fight.
When the waves are filled with sand churned up by our stumbling, dancing feet and my cheeks ache from laughing, I flee to the towels, abruptly shedding the scales I've grown to avoid having too much sand stuck to my dripping appendages. Devin follows, even more sodden, if that's possible.
We crumple onto bright stripes of woven color made warm by the sun and gaze up into the deep, even blue. I point at a cloud.
"That cloud looks like a peacock."
Devin follows the imaginary line from my hand to the splotch of white on the sky.
"That looks more like a dragon."
"Well, it changed," I assert. He laughs. Someone starts up a machine I hadn't noticed before, and loud music starts to play. With some effort, I identify the genre as rock. Or was it pop? I don't know. I prop myself up on one elbow to watch as a girl starts singing.
