[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan looked at his clothes than back at Kariya and then ran off.

Mark watched his friend and shook his head, "Nobody is born mean." he said, "I'm gonna get some fishing done before lunch." he pulled out a worm from the can Stephan had left and hooked it on his fishing hook before casting in the lake.

[Cristyll]

"You wanna do fishing the hard way or the easy way?" Kariya asked.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"I want to do it the boyscout way." Mark replied. "Oh wait... that's with your hands."

[Cristyll]

"Heh. That's the way of the benders," she said, "Ugh. I'm tired again. Too much bending........"

[Hikari Hoshi]

"I thought you were an angel." Mark said.

[Cristyll]

"I am. But I'm a Guardian Angel. All Guardian Angels need to be able to fight someway and I chose elemental bending," she explained.

((Brb.))

[Hikari Hoshi]

"uhuh," Mark said, he got a tug on his line and realed in a good sized fish. "Ah, lunch." he said. he took the fish off the hook and put it on a carrying latch. putting another worm on his hook, he cast again.

[Cristyll]

Kariya knelt by the edge of the water. She made the trilling sound again. Tiny, slender, blue creatures popped out of the water. "That's weird. The water nymphs don't seem to mind you. I think Stephan scared them off," Kariya said with a chuckle.

((Out of curiousity, what do Stephan and Mark look like ._.?))

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Stephan doesn't know the meaning of the word quiet." Mark said, "That's why he's such a bad fisherman."

({umm..... just a sec.})

[Cristyll]

Kariya giggled. The water nypmhs made a high sound and pointed at Mark. Kariya replied with more noise and ended in "Mark".

[Hikari Hoshi]

"What are you talking about?" Mark asked.

[Cristyll]

"They asked who the hell you were," Kariya replied. The nymphs looked back and forth between Kariya and Mark. They made more trilling. Kariya sighed in frustration. She answered with more trilling.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Mark looked quizzickly at them, "What are they saying?"

[Cristyll]

"You honestly want to know?" Kariya asked cautiously.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"I guess not." Mark realed in his line, the worm was gone. "i'm heading back to camp." he got up and started back.

[Cristyll]

"Kay," Kariya replied plainly. She spread her wings and hovered a bit in front of Mark, in the air.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Mark walked back to the camp site and built up the fire again.

[Cristyll]

"Hey, I wonder what happened to Stephan," Kariya said, just remembering him.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan came walking through the woods and sat down.
"Catch anything?" Mark asked as he put his fish on a spit.
"No," Stephan said, "A few nibbles but no bites."

[akitoluva]

Zegana sighed i can't do this.. she thought as she put the animal back in the cage. "on second thought i don't think i'll get one today.." she said smileing at the boy at the desk. i'll just go back to the forest and try again... she thought walking out, at least those animals have a chance to get away. she walked across the park and into the forest. if i follow the stream then i won't walk in on the others again.. she thought finding the stream.

[Cristyll]

"If that fish I threw at Stephan counted as a catch, I would've caught more than Stephan," Kariya teased.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"just ignore her." Mark said, "You'll catch something next time."
"Yeah, that's what ya said the last time and the time before that." Stephan said, a hint of joking in his voice, "Yeah, i'll keep trying, even if i don't catch any fish."

[akitoluva]

Zegana followed the stream. she found two mice, a weasel, and a badger. ok i think this is enough... she thought. i can probably walk back now.. she started off, but got sidetracked on the way. in the end she walked into the others again.

[Cristyll]

((I gotta go. Be back later hopefully.))

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Whoa, Zehana. i thought you left." Mark said, when Zegana walked back into their camp.
Stephans eyes lit up when he saw here, "Hey Zegana," he said, "Couldn't stay away could you?"

[akitoluva]

Zegana blushed "ohh sorry..." she mummbled.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"s'okay." Mark said, "Would you like to stay for lunch?"
"Yes," Stephan said, "Please do. you wouldn't leave me to eat alone with him." he said this last part behind his hand. grinning like mad.
"Yeah, well, you wouldn't be alone with me if Ginza would get back." Mark said, "Where is he anyway?"

[Cristyll]

((Back.))

"Probably making out with Mari," Kariya said.

[akitoluva]

"are you sure? because i was just leaving.." she said "i wouldn't want to interupt..."

[Hikari Hoshi]

"No, stay." Stephan said, grabbing her hand and pulling her over to sit on the log. "Don't worry, Mark's cooking. it's compleatly edible."
"Yeah," Mark said, "They've been gone a while though, how long do you think they'll stay out?"

[akitoluva]

"are you sure?" Zegana asked, sitting down next to Stephan.

[Cristyll]

"I have no idea when they'll be back but I hope they don't go too far," Kariya said.

[Cristyll]

((Hey, cool! I'm an elf.))

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Of course we're sure." Stephan said, "just relax. Mark's a really good cook, i promise."
"Uhuh," Mark said, "What a compliment, usuing me to impress your girlfriend."

[akitoluva]

"Of course we're sure." Stephan said, "just relax. Mark's a really good cook, i promise."
"Uhuh," Mark said, "What a compliment, usuing me to impress your girlfriend."

Zegana laughed, "ok..." she said smileing at Stephan.

[Hikari Hoshi]

({didn't know that....})
"Like i said," Mark continued, "Ginza took forever to actually kiss a girl, there's no way he'd go all the way so soon."

Stephan kissed her quickly, "Good."

[Cristyll]

"Whatever.......," Kariya said, rolling her eyes.

[akitoluva]

"stephan, that wasn't a real kiss and you know it!" Zegana said laughing.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Do you want a real kiss?" Stephan asked grinning wolfishly.
"Oh, can't you guys go somewhere else?" Mark asked, "You're making me sick."

[Cristyll]

Kariya sighed at the couple. Weird couple...., she thought. At the word 'couple', she was reminded of what the water nypmhs said.....

Flashback

"You and that Mark kid would make a cute couple!" one of the nypmhs said dreamily. "Oh come on. We're just friends. Besides, I'm supposed to protect him, not fall in love with him. You nymphs and your obsessions with love," Kariya denied in their language.

[akitoluva]

"Do you want a real kiss?" Stephan asked grinning wolfishly.
"Oh, can't you guys go somewhere else?" Mark asked, "You're making me sick."

"aww your just jealous.. you probably havn't even kissed a girl before" Zegana said sticking her tounge out at Mark. she smiled at Stephan "yes... i would like a real kiss.."

[Cristyll]

"He's not the only one who's gonna gag," Kariya said, "Can't you take it somewhere else? My breakfast is about to come up."

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Actually, he was the first one of us to kiss a girl." Stephan said, "But he hasn't even asked one out in nye two years."
"That's enough." Mark said, "You didn't need to tell her that."
"Sorry Marky." Stephan said, "Now where was i? oh yeah, one real kiss, coming up!" he kissed Zegana.
Mark turned away.

[Cristyll]

"Ugh... Kami-sama..," she muttered, and turned away.

[akitoluva]

Zegana laughed and kissed Stephan back.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Mark looked at her, "Who?" he asked.

Stephan looked at Mark and winked then went back to kissing Zegana.

[akitoluva]

Zegana broke away, "now THAT was a real kiss...." she said smileing at Stephan.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"I'll say." He said, "See what you're missing Mark?"
"Shut up," Mark said, "Go some where else and do that, the fish won't be done for another ten, fifteen minutes."

[akitoluva]

Zegana laughed "bothering you are we?" she asked kissing Stephan again. then she saw the look on Mark's face "sorry.. i was just joking around.." she mummbled.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"I know." Mark said sofly. "Just, don't do that in front of me. it bothers me."
"Alright," Stephan said, he took Zegana's hand,"Let's go, we can talk in privet."

[Cristyll]

"Something tells me they aren't just going to talk....," Kariya said.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Mark shrugged and turned the fish on the spit. "That's the way Stephan is." Mark said, "Zegana is good for him."

[Cristyll]

"Well I guess that leaves us alone....... Again.......," Kariya murmured.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"yeah," Mark said, "What was that name you said earlier?"

[akitoluva]

"I know." Mark said sofly. "Just, don't do that in front of me. it bothers me."
"Alright," Stephan said, he took Zegana's hand,"Let's go, we can talk in privet."

"ok.." Zegana said following Stephan.

[Cristyll]

"Kami-sama. Basically it means 'God' in japanese. From time to time I speak a little japanese. I don't know much though," Kariya answered.

[Hikari Hoshi]

They went to another fallen log a ways away from the camp site. "Sorry about that." Stephan said, "But there are somethings you should know about Mark."

"I speak alittle," Mark said, "Not much thought. What words do you know?"

[akitoluva]

They went to another fallen log a ways away from the camp site. "Sorry about that." Stephan said, "But there are somethings you should know about Mark."

"I speak alittle," Mark said, "Not much thought. What words do you know?"

"yeah.. like?" Zegana asked "is he alright?"

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Yeah," Stephan said, "But he's been hurt, bad. he had a run of bad relationships afew years ago and... he never really got over it. he's been used alot and he doesn't handle seeing things that remind him of love well so this must be really hard for him." he smiled, "Sorry but he's one of my best friends and i don't like seeing him all depressed so try to be gentle."

[Cristyll]

((Be right back.))

[akitoluva]

"Yeah," Stephan said, "But he's been hurt, bad. he had a run of bad relationships afew years ago and... he never really got over it. he's been used alot and he doesn't handle seeing things that remind him of love well so this must be really hard for him." he smiled, "Sorry but he's one of my best friends and i don't like seeing him all depressed so try to be gentle."

"aww really?" Zegana asked conserned, "how bad?"

((i gtg bye))

[Hikari Hoshi]

"It was real bad." Stephan said, "He was used in ways no man should be used, one girl went out with him so that she could get close to his brother."

({okay. c ya. i'm sleeping over on sat.})

[Cristyll]

They went to another fallen log a ways away from the camp site. "Sorry about that." Stephan said, "But there are somethings you should know about Mark."

"I speak alittle," Mark said, "Not much thought. What words do you know?"

((Back.))

"Errr... Lessee... Konichiwa means "hello" or "good afternoon". Ohayou means "good morning". Konbanwa means "good night/evening". Onegai means "please". Arigatou, Domo Arigatou, Domo, and Arigato Gozaimasu all mean "thank you". Kokoro means "heart". Tsubasa means "wings". Hikari means "light".

Minna means "everbody".... I guess this isn't really a little is it? I'm not even done listing. It's not enough to talk in a conversation though. Heh.....," Kariya said.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"More than i know." Mark said, "I know Hikari means light, Hoshi means star, Mizu means water, Arigatou- thank you, Ohiyo- good morning, Baka- idiot, and that's about it."

[Cristyll]

"Heh..... That's what I get for all the anime...," Kariya joked.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Same." Mark said, "I watch a lot and read some manga, but that doesn't count cuz it's in english."

[Cristyll]

"When I was still alive I usually watch the japanese ones with the english subtitles," Kariya explained.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"yeah, that's usually what i watch." Mark said, "Wait, 'When i was a live?'"

[Cristyll]

"Well duh. Angels are dead," Kariya said, "Guardians are no different."

[Hikari Hoshi]

({i'm sorry, i can't do this. Angels aren't dead. they are created by God like us. sorry, i know it's just a role play but i can't.})

[Cristyll]

((Okay... Lessee if I can change it..... "When I was still 'human'". Angels are humans chosen by God for.. er... a special purpose ._.))

[Hikari Hoshi]

({i'm sorry, i really am, but i can't do it. it just doesn't feel right. and akito's gonna kill me.})

[Cristyll]

((Akito?))

((Er................ Kay? Well, I gotta go. I have piano lessons tomorrow.))

[Hikari Hoshi]

({kk, c ya.})

[akitoluva]

"It was real bad." Stephan said, "He was used in ways no man should be used, one girl went out with him so that she could get close to his brother."

({okay. c ya. i'm sleeping over on sat.})

"why the heck would someone do that?!" Zegana said "that is just cruel.."

[Hikari Hoshi]

"I know." Stephan said, "But they did and unfortunatly they did it to Mark. He's shy and has low selfasteam. it hurt him, bad. he never really got over it." he shook his head.

[akitoluva]

"I know." Stephan said, "But they did and unfortunatly they did it to Mark. He's shy and has low selfasteam. it hurt him, bad. he never really got over it." he shook his head.

"aww... no one should ever have to go through that.. i feel really bad.." Zegana said.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan nodded, "He's gotten better though." he said, "He doesn't chringe whenever a girl touches him anymore." he chuckled a little, "I think we've talked enough about depressing things." he kissed her,"Let's move on."

[akitoluva]

Stephan nodded, "He's gotten better though." he said, "He doesn't chringe whenever a girl touches him anymore." he chuckled a little, "I think we've talked enough about depressing things." he kissed her,"Let's move on."

"ok.." she said smileing a little.

[Hikari Hoshi]

He kissed her again, "How about we don't talk at all?" he smiled.

({i g2g home.})

[Zippy_girl]

Mari nodded slightly. "I'm glad that I can make you happy aswell." She whispered through the kiss.

[akitoluva]

He kissed her again, "How about we don't talk at all?" he smiled.

({i g2g home.})

((kk i might be at violin by the time your back >.<))

Zegana smiled "a boy after my own heart!" she put her arms around his shoulders and kissed him.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan wrapped his arms around Zegana's weist and pulled her close to him, deepening the kiss.

[akitoluva]

Stephan wrapped his arms around Zegana's weist and pulled her close to him, deepening the kiss.

[akitoluva]

Stephan kissed her passonatly. after a while, he pulled away. "Lunch is probably ready by now." he told her.

"do we have to stop?" she pouted running her fingers through his hair.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"I suppose we could be late for lunch." Stephan said, kissing her again, "If you really want to keep going."

[akitoluva]

"I suppose we could be late for lunch." Stephan said, kissing her again, "If you really want to keep going."

Zegana smiled "what kind of question is that?" she asked kissing his kneck.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"It wasn't a question," Stephan said, "It was a suggestion."

[akitoluva]

"It wasn't a question," Stephan said, "It was a suggestion."

Zegana layed her head on stephan's shoulder, "lets keep going..." she wispered in his ear.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"All right then." He replied. he began kissing her neck, working his way up till he was right under her chin.

[akitoluva]

"All right then." He replied. he began kissing her neck, working his way up till he was right under her chin.

Stephan smiled as he french kissed Zegana back. *not going into detail*

[akitoluva]

({so it's come to that. >_<})

Stephan smiled as he french kissed Zegana back. *not going into detail*

Zegana smiled and broke the kiss, "do you think we should go eat?" she asked stephan putting her head on his shoulder again.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Probably." Stephan said, "Mark is probably getting lonely."

[akitoluva]

"Probably." Stephan said, "Mark is probably getting lonely."

Zegana sighed, "lets go then..." she said.

[akitoluva]

"Okay," Shephan said, getting up and taking Zegana's hand. "Let's go.

they wakled back to the fire, stopping ever five or so steps to kiss.

[Hikari Hoshi]

When they finally made it back to the fire Mark looked up. "What were you two doing?" he asked, "The fish has been done for a while now." he looked at them for a moment then said, "Never mind, i don't want to know."

[akitoluva]

Zegana blushed, and sat down next to Stephan.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Mark handed them each half a fish and sat down with his own and began eating. Stephan began to eat his fish.

[akitoluva]

Mark handed them each half a fish and sat down with his own and began eating. Stephan began to eat his fish.

"thank you" zegana said smileing. she took a bite "this is really good" she lied. she never had liked eating cooked food.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Mark looked up. Zegana was a good lier. if he were anyone else he would have fallen for it, but he had heard far to many lies not to tell. he said, "Thank you." all the same.

Stephan munched away at his fish. "It is really good Mark." he said, "This is exactly why we keep you around."

[akitoluva]

Zegana laughed, "who caught the fish?" she asked.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Me." Mark said, rasing his hand.
"He's the only one who can." Stephan said, "I suck at fishing. Ginza isn't too bad, but he's not here. wonder what he's doing."

[akitoluva]

zegana laughed "really?" she asked.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Yah." Stephan said, "He's the outdoorsmen in our group."
"You really talk too much." Mark told him.

[akitoluva]

"really?" Zegana asked. "well i've camped a little.. i had this one friend.. he was a boyscout.. he showed me how to.." Zegana stoped and looked at mark. "nevermind.." she said.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Mark looked down at his fish.
"I'd like to hear what he taught you." Stephan said, "Do tell."

[akitoluva]

Mark looked down at his fish.
"I'd like to hear what he taught you." Stephan said, "Do tell."

"it was a messed up joking.. just forget about it.." zegana said staring at mark. i got carried away... i should watch myself.. she thought.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan shrugged and went back to his fish.
Mark never took his eyes off his fish. this girl was definatly perfect for Stephan.
"I wonder what Ginza and Mari are doing." Stephan said.

[akitoluva]

Stephan shrugged and went back to his fish.
Mark never took his eyes off his fish. this girl was definatly perfect for Stephan.
"I wonder what Ginza and Mari are doing." Stephan said.

"who knows.." zegana said, still staring at mark i really screwed up.. she thought.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan noticed Zegana staring at Mark. "Hullo." he said waving a hand infront of her face, "It's rude to stare. espeacially when you're with his best friend."

[akitoluva]

Zegana blushed, "have you ever seen a movie called 'labrynth'?" she asked trying to change the subject.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Hmmm...." Stephan thought for a moment. "No i don't think so."
"I have." Mark said, just loud enough for them to hear. "Good movie."

[akitoluva]

Zegana's eyes lit up "really you have?!" she smiled "have you seen benny & joon?? it's really good it was done by jonny depp......" she smiled "i love movies..."

[Hikari Hoshi]

"I can see that." Mark said, "Yes i've seen Benny and Joon. another good movie. how 'bout the Princess Bride?"

[akitoluva]

"I can see that." Mark said, "Yes i've seen Benny and Joon. another good movie. how 'bout the Princess Bride?"

Zegana's jaw dropped "yes i love it!" she smiled.
"your lucky to have such a cool friend.." she said to staphan.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan nodded, "I see that." he said, a little bit bitterly.
Mark went back to his fish.

[akitoluva]

Zegana turned to Stephan "are you ok?" she asked.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Yeah." Stephan said, "Have you been to the lake yet?"

[akitoluva]

"Yeah." Stephan said, "Have you been to the lake yet?"

Zegana new something was wrong but she didn't pushi it. "no i havn't.." she said smileing at Stephan.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Would you like to go there then?" Stephan asked, "We could go swimming."

[akitoluva]

"Would you like to go there then?" Stephan asked, "We could go swimming."

Zegana smiled "sure!" she said, "do you want to go right now?"

((gtg in 5 min.))

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Sure." Stephan said, he got up and took her hand, leading her down the path to the lake.

({okay :(})

[akitoluva]

"Sure." Stephan said, he got up and took her hand, leading her down the path to the lake.

({okay :(})

"stephan where you alright with me talking to mark like that?" zegana asked when they were out of ear shot.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Yeah," Stephan said, "Why wouldn't i be?" they got to the lake and he kicked off his shoes, took off his shirt and rolled up his pants. slowly he waded out until he was halfway under water. "You coming?" he called back.

[akitoluva]

"Yeah," Stephan said, "Why wouldn't i be?" they got to the lake and he kicked off his shoes, took off his shirt and rolled up his pants. slowly he waded out until he was halfway under water. "You coming?" he called back.

"yes!" zegana said rolling up her pants and wadding out.

[Hikari Hoshi]

When Zegana got out to where Stephan was, he picked her up and dumped her sideways into the water, laughing hystaricly.(sp)

[akitoluva]

Zegana came up, "what was that for?" she asked kissing him, but at the same time nocking his feet out from under him.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan took a deep breath before he fell under. he stayed underwater, holding on to a root to keep himself from floating to the serface. he wanted to see how long it would take Zegana to come after him. he was on the swim team so holding his breath was not a problem.

[akitoluva]

zegana stood there and waited for a moment is he ok? she thought. ohh he should be fine... hes a guy.. she looked at her watch i'll give him 30 more seconds.. then i'll go under and check... she thought counting down the time.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan could feel the need to come up for air. wow is she taking a long time. he thought. he could handle it though, just for a little while longer atleast. just a little longer he told himself just a little longer then all come up.

[akitoluva]

Zegana started to get a little worried and whent under to see if he was ok.

[Hikari Hoshi]

When Stephan heard Zegana go under (a muffled spashing sound) he reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her close he kissed her than hurried to the serface, gasping for air and laughing.

[akitoluva]

Zegana smiled, and surfaced. "i was starting to get worried..." she said putting her arms around his kneck and kissing him.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan kissed her back, "That was the idea," he said, smiling through the kiss.

[akitoluva]

"not a very good idea.." she said laughing.

[Hikari Hoshi]

He laughed too and kissed her again, "Don't you like kissing underwater?" he asked.

[akitoluva]

"i do.." she said kissing him back, "it's just the part about making me worry that is didn't like..."

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Well, i won't do it again then." he said, "But i will do this." he picked her up and went underwater, kissing her again.

[Zippy_girl]

Mari nodded slightly. "I'm glad that I can make you happy aswell." She whispered through the kiss

[akitoluva]

zegana smiled and kissed him back, but eventualy had to go back up for air.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"You make me very happy." Ginza said, then he broke the kiss. "We should go back." he told her, "Mark probably has lunch ready."

Stephan laughed as they went back up for air. "Now isn't that fun?" he asked, getting his breath back.

[akitoluva]

"yes it is.." zegana said laughing.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan smiled, "Wanna do it again?" he asked, a wolfish grin on his face.

[Zippy_girl]

"You make me very happy." Ginza said, then he broke the kiss. "We should go back." he told her, "Mark probably has lunch ready."

Stephan laughed as they went back up for air. "Now isn't that fun?" he asked, getting his breath back.

Mari nodded. "Most likley." She said, looking at the small stream of smoke gushing out from the trees.

[akitoluva]

Zegana laughed, "not really..."

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Well, let's get going then." he said, he picked her up and started off back to the camp.

"Alright then." Stephan said, "How 'bout i race you to the other side. how does that sound?" he asked.

[akitoluva]

"Alright then." Stephan said, "How 'bout i race you to the other side. how does that sound?" he asked.

"sure!" zegana said smileing, and starting to swim to the other side.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Hey! I didn't say go!" Stephan called after her as he half dived into the water and began swimming after her.

[akitoluva]

"so?" zegana yelled back, she was almost to the half way point.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan quickly caught up to Zigana, "Gotta go faster than that!" he called with a little bit of a laugh, then went back to consentrating on his swimming. they were 3/4 of the way across.

[akitoluva]

Stephan quickly caught up to Zigana, "Gotta go faster than that!" he called with a little bit of a laugh, then went back to consentrating on his swimming. they were 3/4 of the way across.

Zegana smiled, sped up, and came level with stephan.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan swam a little faster, though he was almost at top speed, he splashed Zegana a little as he swam.

[akitoluva]

Zegana spit out some water and kept going, they where almost to teh other side.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan put all he had into a single burst of speed and reached the other side.

[akitoluva]

two seconds later zegana reached the other side also.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan turned around, breathing hard, "I win." he said with a big smile on his face.

[akitoluva]

zegana giggled "yup..." she said kissing him.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan kissed her back, "I'm too tired to race back," he said, "How 'bout we walk around the lake?"

[akitoluva]

Stephan kissed her back, "I'm too tired to race back," he said, "How 'bout we walk around the lake?"

"that sounds much better.." zegana said laughing.

[Hikari Hoshi]

They got out of the water and found the path leading around the lake. Stephan took her hand, "Better not let go." he told her, "You might get lost."

[akitoluva]

They got out of the water and found the path leading around the lake. Stephan took her hand, "Better not let go." he told her, "You might get lost."

Zegana laughed, and walked along with him.

[Zippy_girl]

"Well, let's get going then." he said, he picked her up and started off back to the camp.

"Alright then." Stephan said, "How 'bout i race you to the other side. how does that sound?" he asked.

Mari clutched herself to Ginza's shirt again, smiling as she looked at the trees.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Soon they landed in the camp. "Hiya Mark." Ginza said, "Is lunch ready?"
"Lunch has been ready." Mark replied, "You're fish is cold."

[Zippy_girl]

Soon they landed in the camp. "Hiya Mark." Ginza said, "Is lunch ready?"
"Lunch has been ready." Mark replied, "You're fish is cold."

Mari giggeled abit. "Sorry about that." She said, smiling goofily(sp?).

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Fine." Mark said, he pointed to the grill over the fire. "You're fish is there."
Ginza nodded and picked up the two fish. he handed one to Mari and sat down to eat his own.

they were about half way around the lake. Stephan leaned over and kissed Zegana. "Having fun?" he asked.

[Zippy_girl]

"Fine." Mark said, he pointed to the grill over the fire. "You're fish is there."
Ginza nodded and picked up the two fish. he handed one to Mari and sat down to eat his own.

they were about half way around the lake. Stephan leaned over and kissed Zegana. "Having fun?" he asked.

Mari sat down next to Ginza and started eating slowly. "Gaah! I havn't eaten a cooked meal in forever... It tastes kinda wierd, bt hey, it's food." She thought as she ate.

[akitoluva]

"yes" she said kissing him back.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Ginza turned to Mari "Do you like it?" he asked.

"Good." Stephan said, as they continued walking, hand in hand. "I have alot of fun with you."

[akitoluva]

"me to.." zegana said resting her head on his shoulder.

((gtg watch a movie))

[Hikari Hoshi]

({lucky. c ya l8er})

Stephan put his arm around her as they walked, "You'll stay the rest of the day won't you? you might as well, half the day is already gone."

[Zippy_girl]

Ginza turned to Mari "Do you like it?" he asked.

"Good." Stephan said, as they continued walking, hand in hand. "I have alot of fun with you."

Mari nodded and took another bite. "It's good." She said, smiling.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"See? this is excatly why we keep you Mark." Ginza said to his friend. "Without you, we'd starve."
"yeah, yeah." Mark replied, "So i've heard."

[Zippy_girl]

"See? this is excatly why we keep you Mark." Ginza said to his friend. "Without you, we'd starve."
"yeah, yeah." Mark replied, "So i've heard."

Mari laghed slightly. "Lemme guess. You're the only one who cooks?" She asked Mark

[Hikari Hoshi]

Mark nodded. "And the only one who can fish and put up a tent." he said.
"That's not entirely true." Ginza said, "I can fish."
"Sure, you just can't hook your own worm." Mark retorted.

[Zippy_girl]

Mark nodded. "And the only one who can fish and put up a tent." he said.
"That's not entirely true." Ginza said, "I can fish."
"Sure, you just can't hook your own worm." Mark retorted.

Mari giggeled. "Well, as far as I know, you only need patiense to be a good fisher."

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Tell that to Stephan." Mark and Ginza said together.
"It doesn't mater how long he sits there or how quiet he is, he can't catch a fish." Mark told her.
"Thinks he's cursed." Ginza put in. "He may be right, or he's just a bad fishermen."

[Zippy_girl]

"Tell that to Stephan." Mark and Ginza said together.
"It doesn't mater how long he sits there or how quiet he is, he can't catch a fish." Mark told her.
"Thinks he's cursed." Ginza put in. "He may be right, or he's just a bad fishermen."

"Well, guess me and Stephan have one thing in common. We're both lousy fishers." Mari said, laughing softly.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Ginza chuckled a little, "Anyone is better than Stephan, poor kid."
"He swims like a fish, but he can't catch them." Mark said.

[Zippy_girl]

Ginza chuckled a little, "Anyone is better than Stephan, poor kid."
"He swims like a fish, but he can't catch them." Mark said.

"Beats my record. I can't swim like a fish, nd I can't catch them either."

[Hikari Hoshi]

"What can you do?" Ginza asked.
Mark poked the fire and put some more wood on.

[Zippy_girl]

"What can you do?" Ginza asked.
Mark poked the fire and put some more wood on.

Mari smiled. "Not much, that's for shure." She said, looking at the flames.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"You have to be good at something." Ginza said, putting his arm around her shoulder. "come on, think real hard."
Mark poked the fire.

[Zippy_girl]

"You have to be good at something." Ginza said, putting his arm around her shoulder. "come on, think real hard."
Mark poked the fire.

"Well... I'm good at spotting lies, and seeing that something's not normal." Mari said, looking at Ginza, smiling. "Does that count?"

[Hikari Hoshi]

Ginza smiled at her, "It sure does." he said, kissing her softly.
Mark turned away. this entire camping trip was going haywire.

[Zippy_girl]

Ginza smiled at her, "It sure does." he said, kissing her softly.
Mark turned away. this entire camping trip was going haywire.

Mari smiled slightly. "You okay Mark?" She asked him.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Mark nodded but didn't look back.
"Mark, doesn't like to see people kissing." Ginza whispered in her ear, "It reminds him of what happened a few years ago."

[Zippy_girl]

Mark nodded but didn't look back.
"Mark, doesn't like to see people kissing." Ginza whispered in her ear, "It reminds him of what happened a few years ago."

Mari's eyes widened abit, but returned to normall after one second. "Oh.... Sorry Mark..." She said looking at the ground.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"S'okay." Mark muttered.
"don't feel bad." Ginza told her, "You couldn't have known, he doesn't like to talk about it. and can you blame him?" he took her hand, and lead her to another clearing not far away were they could talk.

[Zippy_girl]

"S'okay." Mark muttered.
"don't feel bad." Ginza told her, "You couldn't have known, he doesn't like to talk about it. and can you blame him?" he took her hand, and lead her to another clearing not far away were they could talk.

"What happened to him?" Mari asked Ginza, worried about her new friend.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"About two years ago, Mark had a run of bad relationships." Ginza explained, sitting down on a fallen log. "He was used a lot and hurt more than anyone should have to stand."

[Zippy_girl]

"About two years ago, Mark had a run of bad relationships." Ginza explained, sitting down on a fallen log. "He was used a lot and hurt more than anyone should have to stand."

Mari gasped and sank down on the log next to Ginza. "That's horrible... Nobody should have to go through with stuff like that..."

[Hikari Hoshi]

Ginza shook his head, "It was bad, really bad." he said, "Mark never really got over it. it's been two years since he last went on a date. or even talked to a girl."

[Zippy_girl]

Ginza shook his head, "It was bad, really bad." he said, "Mark never really got over it. it's been two years since he last went on a date. or even talked to a girl."

"I can understand his logic. Not excactly asy to talk to someone if you have had a person betray you." Mari said, thinking abit about it

[Hikari Hoshi]

Ginza nodded again, "Yeah, but two years is a long time." He said, "Me and Stephan have tried to get him out of this slump but failed over and over."

[Zippy_girl]

Ginza nodded again, "Yeah, but two years is a long time." He said, "Me and Stephan have tried to get him out of this slump but failed over and over."

Mari stood up and smiled. "I'll help you get him out of it."

[Hikari Hoshi]

Ginza smiled and kissed her softly, "We need all the help we can get." he said.

[Zippy_girl]

Ginza smiled and kissed her softly, "We need all the help we can get." he said.

Mari kissed him softly back. "I've done this hndreds of times before..." She winked slightly.

[Hikari Hoshi]

"Really?" Ginza asked, "You didn't mention match making in your list of things you're good at."

[Zippy_girl]

"Really?" Ginza asked, "You didn't mention match making in your list of things you're good at."

Mari giggeled. "That's because I could tell you would be suprized by it."

[Hikari Hoshi]

Ginza chuckled and kissed her again, "You are full of surprises."

[Zippy_girl]

Ginza chuckled and kissed her again, "You are full of surprises."

Mari smiled. "I know I am. But dosn't that just make me more fun?" She kissed him, smiling slightly still.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Ginza leaned in, deepening the kiss, "Yes," he said, "Yes it does." he kept kissing her.

[Zippy_girl]

Ginza leaned in, deepening the kiss, "Yes," he said, "Yes it does." he kept kissing her.

Mari smiled slightly into the kiss and stepped closer to Ginza.

[Hikari Hoshi]

Ginza wrapped his arms around her weist and pulled her closer.

[Zippy_girl]

Ginza wrapped his arms around her weist and pulled her closer.

Mari placed her hands carefuly arround Ginza's neck.

Stephan put his arm around her as they walked, "You'll stay the rest of the day won't you? you might as well, half the day is already gone."

[Hikari Hoshi]

Stephan chuckled, "Well, there are also wild girls running around here." he said, "Now i have my own girl to protect me."

[akitoluva]

((woot! there are "wild girls" in the tall grass... don't go into the tall grass unless you have your own "girls" to protect you))

Mark shrugged.
"Knowing Ginza, they're probably on top of some tree somewhere." Stephan said.
"Show off." said Mark.
