*drags drak back into the light*

If being insane means I can dance around at the nearest starbucks with underwear on my head to the tune 'mission impossible', then sanity, I disown you!

Phew! that was a close one, I thought you were a monster coming to get me *jumps out of hole and see's a bug eyed rat staring at me*

*falls out of the chair laughing at myself*

*all of a sudden the rat blinks its eyes and lunges at me* AKKKKKK!!! Get this stupid thing off me!!!

*laughs so loud dad askes "what is so funny?!"*

*grabs the rat off of drak then throws it at the wall, where it... slowly.... slides.... down.....*

*rat scuurys away* ohh yeah, handled that just fine, slaps everyones hand

*can't breathe from laughing so hard*

oh nothing...*breathes finally*

*chuckles and turns tickled pink for the first time ever* Good thingI had that moldy piece of chees on me, but I honestly don't knoe where it came from

*goes to starbucks with underwear on my head, then gets up on a table and dances to 'mission impossible'*

ewww i like cheese! but not moldy cheese... *can't imagine eating moldy cheese*

*Joins the party and yells* "gimmie a raspberry chocolate mocha frappichino"

this isnt a party! its just me disowning sanity! *kicks someones steaming hot coffee of the table so that it spills all over their lap*

*jumps on table* *table im on breaks* *old woman with cane smacks me over the head repeatedly* woman- why are you youngins always messin things up?! me: OW! OW! im sorry! OW! OW!

*person screams* ohhhhh better get out of here*sees the manager with a mop, swinging it violently* WHOA!!! *nabs the coffe I wanted and makes a run for it*

@old woman- I IS INSANE! *pours coffee on the old lady**a bunch of old ladies suddenly barge in with purses full of hard candy* not the dreaded purses full with hard candy! 8O

OH NOES!! *grabs tiamat and runs out after drak*

*mints and novelty candies fly every where* ahhhhh! I'll save you *starts to sing and everyone faints cause I'm so bad at it* YAY!!!

*eats canides*

*trips in sidewalk crack and falls behind* ahhhhh! old ladies are gonna get me *tries to run but now there is no traction on the ground. looks down and sees that the ground is covered in candies, and I'm not getting any traction!* HELP!!!

*runs back, grabs drak's arm and pulls, and runs, picking up various candies along the way*

*little preschoolers suddenly thunder through, since we're close to a preschool. they eat all the candy on the sidewalk, then return to thier school* hurry up! *flings drak over my shoulder then runs*

*knocks over a preschooler* oopsy

Thank you! I'm CLUMSY today *rubs the bruises on me from the old ladies canes*

*the old ladies get closer. gets an idea * HEY OLD LADIES! HOT GRANDPA OVER THERE! HE JUST WALKED INTO TARGET! *the old ladies run towards target*

ok lets go! *runs*

*we finally reach my neighborhood* this way! *runs towards the small park*

*runs after tiamat* where r we going?

awwww man! sry guys (and girls), I have to go to bed now, tomorrow I will be on...see ya then *hugs everyone and then flies awy*

to the woods that seperate the elementary school from my neighborhood! *runs through the small field, over a bridge, then into the trees, where i stop at another bridge thats right on the edge of the forest (you should remember this dspice)*

see ya drak! we can handle the old bags by ourselves!! (yea i remember!) *wink wink* jaaaaaack....

(bye drak!) *waits for dspice to catch up, then turns into my human form, wearing jeans and a red shirt*

*turns to human, wearing camo pants, green shirt with dragon on it, and green fingerless gloves*

um... ya... anyway follow me! *is eager to change the subject*

uh huh...*chuckles* i know the real reason we're here..*looks for jack*

no thats not it! *face is serious* we need a place to hide from the old ladies until the incident blows over. now cmon! *trudges down a faint path*

uh huh, suure... *follows tiamat*

*walks across the piece of metal and starts examining the remains of the fort* this should do...

well, "home-sweet-home" i guess...*shrugs and glances over fort remains*

theres some exercise equipment seats over there *points up the hill* ill go and get them so we have a place to sit *jumps across the thin dry riverbed then climbs up the hill*

*walks around aimlessly, looking for something of interest* *i make a small rose grow, pluck it from the ground, and twirl it between my fingers*

*walks over to the fallen tree. half hidden by leaves are 3 exercise equipment seats**i pull up two and take them back to where dspice is* get them into the ground in the fort. i have something i have to do... *walks back up the hill, leaves crunching beneath my feet*

*chuckles* s-something to do with- *decides not to bug tiamat* *i make roots come up from the ground and hold the chairs by the legs so they wont move* *i fasten the rose to one chair and sit on it*

(they arent chairs, just the seat of the excercise thing with a small peg coming from the bottom of it where it would have attached to the rest of the equipment) *walks over to the place where the scattered coyote bones are*

(oh yeah, sorry i forgot! ) *so, instead the roots form chair legs for the seats*

(ok, and lets pretend that my jack fantasy didnt happen ok?) *a twig snaps, and i snap my head around to see who it is*

( ok) *i pass the time by slowly making a tree grow from the ground, making it shrink back, and making it grow again* i wonder how long she'll be? *wonders if i should follow tia*

*all i see is a squirrel running up a tree. i relax, then continue on my way, following a path*

*sigh* man, this is too good to pass up! *i make shrubs grow around the fort to hide it, then i take off running in the direction tiamat went*

*reaches the main path, then nimbly makes my way down the rocks that protrude through the dirt*

*i slink in the bushes, blending in* *i peer through them, watching tiamat decend the rocks* man, how can i get down without her seeing me? *i crawl to the edge of the rocks and follow her, making sure to be quiet*

*a dog barks. the houses boardering the edge of the small woods are visible, with a couple boys playing on a basketball court thats shielding from the sun by random trees*

*i slip and slide down the rest of the rocks, rolling into a bush, hoping tiamat didn't see me**i have a small cut on my arm*

(the rocks are only on the part of the path, they were exposed from the earth by the rain eroding at the ground. theres no rocks on the right side of the path) *i step across the bridge, then go over to a bench a i sit down on it. the boys dont pay any attention to me*

(ohhh... okays) *i crawl over and hide behind the bench, wondering what tiamat is thinking*

*sighs, glancing at jacks house* why cant i even talk to him? god.... *contemplates matters, then wonders what dspice is doing*

*wonders what tiamat is doing*

*sighs again, then gets up, and walks towards jacks house. i walk through his back yard (he doesnt have a fence) and up a slight hill between the two houses. i walk nearly straight and reach my cul-de-sac. my house is the farthest up on the right. then construction site is seen, with trucks going by on the road. workers are adding the inside touches to yellow painted apartments*

*i have a puzzled look on my face as i follow behind her, nonchalontly*

*i walk onto my driveway, then stop at my garage. i lift up the lid of the garage code thing, and type in something. the garage opens and i walk in. i walk into my house and into my kitchen. i grab a couple of water bottles from the fridge, then get some pretzals and goldfish*

(i have to go to be. sorry! dad has to go to work tomorrow (dj) and i have to go with him. see ya tomorrow!)

(aww dammit. bye dspice! *glomps*)

*suddenly a closet door opens up and Jenu pops out, scaring the living daylights out of Tiamat* *she drops the water bottles and goggles at me, her eyes bug-wide, and her jaw dropped to the ground* *suddenly, she smacks me, and I mock-crumple to the floor* *then I get up and laugh very heartily* *After I am done laughing, I ask* "So, what's up???*

(ignores jenu, then walks out the garage, closes it, then walks back down to the woods)

*follows tiamat closely*

*reaches the fort* dspice?

uh- *turns into a bug and scurries between tiamat's feet to the other side of the fort* *i turn back to human form and pop up quickly* YES?!

i brought some water and snacks *walks into the fort and sets them down*

oh thanks! *follows her in* so...*eyes snacks*

*tosses dspice a plastic bag with gold fish and pretzels* im going to be right back *puts my snack in my pocket, then walks off into the forest again*

??? *smiles sweetly at tiamat as she leaves* *then i put the bag on a chair and slink after tiamat* (oh, i forgot to ask: was it just my comp. acting up or was dragnix down for a couple of days?)

*crosses the small creek, then walks upstream. i duck under overhanging brambles and branches, my footing sure as i walk through an unseen path*

*is concerned more with tiamat than the ground and i stumble a little*

(dragnix was acting up. tempest posted a comment on the pic by nylirr) *continues walking. i come to an unused bridge without railings. i walk across it and up the hill. i walk to the original path and pass the coyote bones*

(ohhh ok thanks) *continues to follow tiamat, unsure of where we r going*

*i hear someone walking on the trail up ahead. i freeze, then see jack and one of his friends walking down the path that leads to the area with benches and the podium*

*whispers to self-* oh thats why she came...

*im about to call out something, but my nerves get the better of me and i fall silent*

hmm...*i think about the possibility of me coming out and talking tiamat into it* *i sigh and kneel next to tiamat* hellos! *in my mind: please dont kill me please dont kill me please dont...*

*disappears at the moment dspice kneels next to me, not noticing her as i was concentrating on disappearing. reappears in a tree above the benched area. jack and his friend are talking*

*mumbles to self* *sighs* oh well, thats life for ya...*waits and watches*

(if i HAD noticed you, youd probably be on the ground... hurting a lot) *watches jack, things running through my mind*

yeah, but it was a risk i was willing to take... *wonders what tiamat is thinking*

*jacks friend departs, leaving jack, who sighs and sits on a bench*

(OW OW OW!! MY FOOT IS CRAMPING!! (totally off subject) ) *gets a crazy idea* *stands up and leizurely walks in front of jack* *i seem to notice him for the first time* hey, mind if i sit here? *i gesture to the spot next to him*

jack: no its fine me: *eye twitch*
