jack: shelby huh? do you go to (name of my school)? me: *thinks: what the heck is she doing?!** is about ready to jump from the tree and beat the crud out of dspice*

um, yeah, of course. *i nervously tap my foot* so, erm...what's your favorite class?

jack: well, what grade are you in? and i dont really have a favorite

erm...10th...*i stretch my arms and cough nervously* so do you like your- *i stutter* i mean, our s-school?

jack: huh? what are you talking about? we dont have a tenth grade at our school (my school grades are kindergarten- 6th grade for elementary, then 7th- 9th for jh)

erm...i m-meant 9th...*ahem* i'm tall for a 9th grader, i know...but my dad is...um, 6 foot 7 inches tall and uh, i take after him...*heh heh*

jack: oh. so what are you doing here? me: *thinks: what is she doing here?!*

*thinks: what AM i doing here?!* i am....uh...waiting for a friend- *i emphasize the word friend*

(incase you forgot my real name is jessica, so use that when refering to me around him) jack: i might help you find them. whats their name?

(yea, im sorry i forgot) her name is jessica...

jack: jessica who lives in this neighborhood? she might be at her house. did you check?

yeah, she lives in this neighborhood, but trust me: she's not at her house...

me: crap! jack: so where do you think she is? it would be a good place to start looking

(slow computer, sorry ><') erm, i think we should loook...*i look up in the tree and see tiamat, winking at her* over there- *i point across the road*

(no road, the area leads down the path to the place where the bride is, and in back of you guys it opens up to the school field where the soccer goals are. its fenced in)

( thats what i meant... i knew it was somethin like that)

jack: ok ill start looking for her. *he gets up and walks down the path* (g2g eat dinner, brb!)

byes! (stupid slow computer!! ><) *i follow jack*

(i is back!) *disappears and reappears down the path behind a bush. i step out from behind the bush* jack: hey jessica! your friend shelby is looking for you! me: ok....

(aaaa!! *tackles tiamat* okays..) *ahem* h-hey jessica! h-hows it going? i was j-just looking for you and i t-thought...

its fine ds-.. shelby. *glares at her, then returns my attention to jack* um, thanks for finding me. i was looking or her myself

no prob...*i slowly slink into the bushes, kneeling down, watching tiamat- i mean, jessica- and jack*

jack: ok well see you later *he walks down to the bridge. once hes out of earshot, i turn to the place dspice was, only shes not there anymore* dammit dspice....

well, that didn't go quite as well as i thought...*i slink out the back of the bush, hoping tiamat doesn't find me, imagining what happens if she does*

*starts to walk, then slips* crap! *jack quickly runs back and grabs my arm to steady myself* t-thanks jack: no problem

*stops before i completely leave* yes yes yes!! *watches*

i g2g because sister is being a butt...

just tell her you're busy... dont leave me all alone!!

omg dont listen to tiamat (aka my sister!!!!!)

ok if u say so...whats up?

nothin' whats up with you dspice

nothin much. just talkin and all that...

*gets to my feet* so did y-you see where shelby went?

*snickers behind bush then slaps my hand to my mouth*

jack: i think she went somewhere else... me: ya... jack: you want to talk? me: um... ok *we walk up the path towards the school*

*to myself:* YES YES YES!! it worked!! *i follow the two silently*

*the elementary school playground is deserted. i soft breeze blows through, making the swings creek**jack and i walk over to the shaded picnic tables*

*i crouch in another bush, watching*

*jack sits down, then wordlessly invites me to sit next to him**i take my seat* jack: its quiet here isnt it? me: yep... its strange not seeing it filled with crazy kids running around

*gets idea* *turns into camo-songbird and flies up to top of tree, and begins singing beautiful song*

*jack laughs* jack: so have you played halo lately? me: no. i havent been to my friends lately so.... *shrugs*

*i resist the urge to...erm...releive myself on tiamat's shoulder*

*glances up and sees the camo colored bird* *thinks: im going to kill her....*

*thinks: tiamat is going to kill me...* *i tweet another song, breaking the akward silence*

jack: LOOK OUT! *he tackles me, knocking me off the bench. we land hard on the ground, and a bullet whizzes overhead** a swear word is heard. peaking past the other benches, i see a man with a gun*

*i choke out a pathetic tweet, watching the man with the gun* *i fly to the ground and hide in a bush, turning back to human form*

*i swear, and roll out from under jack, who crouches* man: come out kids! HAHAHA! i want to play! me: jack, stay low! *i throw a piece of mulch at him, then duck behind another table as he is distracted*

*i roll out from the bush and kneel next to tiamat* who the heck is that guy?!

an insane maniac probably! no going into dragon form though, we dont know who might be watching... *my eyes glow orange, and a sword appears in my hand, then hiltis made of two interweaving dragons, with their heads forming the pommel* *bullets start peppering the ground around us*

aw what fun is that? *my hands glow green and two daggers appear* *the handles look like interweaving vines and the blades are decorated with a dragon holding a rose*

*my eyes glow orange again, and a dagger appears in my other hand** i get jacks attention and toss it to him. the blade is red tinted, and the pommel looks like the one on my sword* NOW! *leaps out from behind the table, jumps into the air, and slashes a bullet in midair, causing it to drop*

WOO HOO!! *i leap from the table and run, ducking low to avoid bullets, straight for the man*

*jack crawls from table to table, getting as close to the man as he can* *i jump up, catch the beam of the shaded structure, then i swing forward, landing next to him...*

*i see tiamat and get an idea* *i yell and wave my daggers in the air, distracting the man* *the man turns to me and shoots at me* EEEP! *i hit the ground, one bulltet hitting me in the shoulder*

NO! *i hit him with the pommel of my sword, then i slash at him, leaving a gash in his side...*

*i hold my shoulder, blood pouring through my fingers*

*jack runs out, straight for dspice. he picks her up, and carries her around the side of the building where its safer. he then helps her bandage the wound with leaves and grass* me: YOU DIE NOW BASTARD! *i tackle the guy, bullets flying everywhere...*

ow ow ow! easy will ya?! *i try to scoot around and see how tiamat is doing, making it hard for jack to bandage me*

jack: hold still! *a bullet hits the side of the building, blasting a hole in the brick. a thin film of dust fills the air for a moment, then its swept away by the wind*

*i sit still and wait for jack to bandage me* *when he's done, i begin crawling towards tiamat, ignoring jack*

*a bullet suddenly hits me, sending blood droplets everywhere* AHH!

(cursed slow computer!!) *i stand up and run to tiamat, tackling the man to the ground* *i pull out my daggers and hold them crossed at his throat*

*jack runs out, and stabs the man in the back with a vicious snarl on his face. blood drips down the guys back. in the distance, police sirens are heard*

hey i wanted to do that...*i laugh akwardly and stand up* @ jack- come on. we'd better get out of here. *i pick up tiamt and run towards our fort*

*jack follows. our weapons disappear suddenly. we disappear behind the fence and down the trail as police officers with drawn guns rush onto the scene...*

yikes...*we arrive at the fort* *i set tiamat on the ground and look at jack* can u help her? *my shoulder begins to bleed through the bandages*

*jack lifts up my shirt enough to uncover a horrible gash on the side of my stomach* jack: ouch... me: ow ow ow oh god...

@ jack- is s-she going to be ok? *i secretly grow an herbal plant to heal tiamat* here try this...*i hand it to jack*

jack: i-i-im n-not sure.. *jack hands it to me and i eat it. the bleeding slows, then stops completely*

wow, good thing that plant was around, huh? *i try to laugh* *i watch tiamat with concern*

jack: ya... *jack pulls my shirt back down as i shiver from the cold wind* me: uhh...

tiamat are you ok? *i look around the fort for a blanket of some kind* *when jack isnt looking, i make a bunch of leaves and weave them together for a blanket* *i come back out and put the blanket on tiamat* *my shoulder continues to bleed* aw crud...

*i fall asleep from exhastion* jack: are you ok shelby? *the shouts of police men are heard as they secure the area and search the perimeter for clues*

*takes me a while to remember my name is "shelby"* uh, yeah, im fine. *i turn my head towards the shouts* maybe we should go inside before we are found out...*i grunt as i lift tiamat off the ground and place her inside the fort* *i wait for jack to go inside, then i make a whole bunch of bushes grow in front of the fort, hiding it*

*the police officers come through the forest with dogs. they see the fort and poke their head in. i look as though im just reclining* police #1: did you kids hear gunshots?

*i look as if i just woke up from a nap* huh...wha...? i didnt hear...*yawn* anything...

jack: gunshots? i thought that it was just the construction site. police #2: ok kids. just dont be scared, but we apprehended a madman with a gun. he is under control though. it seems as though her hurt himself... police #1: you kids take care now *they walk back to the playground*

whew... that was too close. you two ok?

jack: im fine. i think jessica is too *i sigh in my sleep*

*i put my hand on my wounded shoulder* good. so what do we do now? *feels akward*

jack: wait for jessica to wake up? we should stay with her until then. shes lost a fair amount of blood *if my eyes were open, anyone could see that they were blazing orange as the 1st tiamat helps heal me*

*thinks about 1st tiamat* yeah, that shouldn't take too long...*i chuckle*

*my eyes snap open, my eyes their usual color* uh... you guys ok?
