Outside of HSG

---

Vixen shook her head, Do I have to seperate these two? I'm gonna need renforcements.

Glaring back at Vixen, Nathan shouted to her, "You are not in this i just want to know why he doesn't like me i haven't done a damn thing to him and he hates me!"

Vixen turned around, glaring, "AND YOU DON'T NEED TO YELL AT ME! GOT IT?!?" She turned back around and started walking down the road, slightly pissed off.

Forgetting about Unko for the moment, Nathan ran up to Vixen saying calmly, "I'm sorry i didn't mean to yell at you...." while starring at the ground.

Vixen sighed, stopping, "Fine..but don't do it again. I won't take it." She looked at Nathan.

"Ok i really am sorry though i was caught up with Unko and i'm worried about what could happen like then i didn't even try to read your mind it just happened like you said it out loud....." Nathan said sighing, this was a bad idea i should have never come with him too this is too dangerous we could destroy the whole damn restraunt....

Vixen sighed, "Fine...I get it ok? I've grown up with twin gorgons and a guy who has a bad luck spirit following him around." She looked around, "It'll probably still be open. We'll go somewhere else, I don't want you two destroying the resturant," Vixen smirked.

"It's fine don't worry about it so long as we don't use them at the same time then nothing will happen..." Nathan said sighing. "And we have already gotten dressed up might as well not waste the efforts."


Vixen smirked, "Well not that dressed up...and it's still kinda of a nice place. PLus it's way more fun." She grinned and started walking again.

"You know you need to make up your mind" Nathan said smiling at her.


"Or what, you'll chase me or something?" Vixen turned around, walking backwards. She smiled.

"Nah I'll just Pick next time" Nathan said snickering a little.

"Good," Vixen smirked, "I don't feel like running."

"Hahaha" Nathan said sarcastically, "well where to now.." though chasing her would be fun.....

"Usually is," a voice came from behind Nathan. It was soft and velet.

Vixen's eyes widen, "Luna?" She ran over and hugged her.

Luna opened her arms, "Headed to the park, huh?"

Vixen pulled back, "Yeah, with Nathan and Unko. WHy don't you come?"

Luna shrugged her shoulders, "Fine with me if it's ok..." She looked at Nathan.

"Sure why not the more the merrier" Nathan said Mabye with her Unko will let me talk to Vixen

Luna smiled, her fangs showing, she turned to Vixen, putting sheilds around her's and Vixen's mind. So who do you like more? She linked arms with her.

Vixen blushed and chuckled, smiling, Now that the question I needed to heat, I think I like Nathan more.

Luna smiled, Good, so I can flirt with Unko? She raised an eyebrow, giggling.

Go right ahead, Luna. Vixen giggled and walked over to Nathan, linking arms with him instead.

Luna took down the shields and walked over to Unko, smiling.

"You do realize....nevermind" Nathan said smiling at Vixen. "So anyway we are going to the park then?"

Vixen giggled, "Luna's a devil. And probably not the type of park you're thinking of."

"Ok but you do realize you are with..." Nathan started then used his telepathy to finish, All mind readers so all of us know what you and her where thinking about.....

"You probably heard something different because Luna puts up strong shields and diverts what you think you heard so it isn't what we were actually thinking to each other," Vixen explained.

"I couldn't hear it all but i did catch some of it" Nathan said smiling, "So anyway how much longer until we are there?"

"Two minutes, " Vixen said, she leaned close to Nathan, "What did you hear?" She smiled.

"Do you promise you won't hit me or act all embarrased or anything" Nathan said smiling.

"I promise, trust me, I've dealt with worse situation with that one back there," Vixen smiled.

"And you do realize if i could get through to hear some of it that barrier was nothing to Unko the only reason he can't really read my mind that much if i don't let him in is because he would mostlikely end up reading his own mind" Nathan said laughing a little. "Well to the point of this i heard you tell her you think you like me better...."

Vixen laughed, "Yeah, I think I do." She smiled teasingly.

"You know he likes you too don't you" Nathan asked concerned. when he finds out he is gonna kill me he thought sighing.

"I think Luna's got that covered and I think I have the right to choose who I want to be with, "Vixen looked up at Nathan.

"Oh i know it's just he's probably going to kill me when he finds out...." Nathan said looking in her eyes. "But thats not important lets just have one more night of fun before school starts" he added smiling.

Vixen stepped on her tipey toe and pecked Nathan on the lips, she smiled, going back down, "Who said anything about just one night of fun?" A roller coaster came into veiw.

"I was talking about before....school..." Nathan said looking at the roller coaster. "I hope you don't want me to get on that death trap...."

Vixen laughed, "But there the only fun part." She pouted.

"I might get up the nerve to get on it once in a little bit i want to eat first" Nathan said still starring at the monstrocity.

"Alright, were to first?" Vixen looked up at Nathan.

"Food" Nathan shouted before laughing.

"Of course, but Italian? Japanese? Greek? Um...chinese? English?" Vixen laughed.

"Italian or Japanese" Nathan said smiling.

"Italian, duh," Vixen giggled.

"That works" Nathan said smiling, Ooooh pasta....

Vixen let go of Nathan's hand and ran up to the booth, "Tortillie, please. For me," she smiled.

"lasaungea" Nathan said with his mouth watering.

Vixen took out her wallet and paid, taking their order to a table.

"I could have paid..." Nathan said a bit embarrased,"now lets eat" he added digging into his food like a starved animal.

Vixen laughed, "I'm sure you'll find a way to pay me back." She finshed eating.

Standing up, Nathan said, " I'm going to get bread sticks...yum" before walking back to the booth.

Vixen watched him get up and walk away, as soon as his back turned, she took a bite from his plate, and swallowed, she threw hers in the trash. She smiled.

Still up at the bar with his back still turned, Nathan said, "if you wanted some you should have just asked" before splitting it in half and setting half on a napkin for her with his powers.

"Where's the fun in that?" Vixen laughed.

Walking back to the table with breadsticks now, Nathan said, "Fine" Before starting to take his food back.

Vixen stood up and walked over to Nathan, sitting right beside him. She laid her head on his shoulder, "Awww, come on Nathan...." She pouted, "Pretty please?"

"You said it was no fun you can have it if you want though" Nathan said smiling.

"I'm good, just trying to see how good you are," Vixen said, reaching for her bread stick.

"What are you getting at" Nathan said finishing his half of the lasaunea and waiting to see if vixen is going to get the other.

Vixen laughed, "I'm just getting the bread stick." She bit into it.

"That's not what i was talking about" Nathan said shaking his head before taking a breadstick himself, "I was talking about what you said about trying to see how good i am?"

Vixen laughed, "You're going to have to find that one out. I spelled it out for you already." She smiled, and took another bite.

"Eh i'll just find out the next time you think about it or it runs through your mind" Nathan said munching on a breadstick.

Vixen laughed, "I don't think so. Luna's teaching me how to put up strong barriers so you can't get in my head." She smiled.

"No wall is unbreakable i will just have to get Unko to help me get more control and potency with my powers" Nathan said smiling starting on the other half of his dinner since Vixen wasn't taking it.

Vixen giggled, and then laughed. She sighed, "Well I don't think so."

"I think he will if he want's to keep our room in one peice because my powers sometimes run unchecked when i'm asleep for all i know i could throw him out a window or crushing his mind from a nightmare...." Nathan said looking down at the ground thinking, that is a real possibility now with me getting used to new powers....

"I mean I don't think you're getting into my head anytime soon, hang on," Vixen laughed and then looked at Nathan, a blush blossomed on her cheeks red as a rose. She looked away, NO! What if he doesn't want me to?

Smiling back, Nathan mumbled, "Yea i sorta do....."

Vixen looked abck at Nathan, "Yeah you sorta do what?"

"Oh nothing" Nathan said looking in her eyes.

"Well, if he thinks he can keep me in check by reading her mind all night he's got another thing coming..." Unko muttered under his breath so no one else could hear him. Unko closed off Vixen's mind so he'd be really reading Luna's. Unko gave a grin. "Now all I have to do is expect for the unexpected.

"What are you doing over there" Nathan said to Unko smiling, "And why are you trying to put a barrier in Vixen's mind do you know the damage that could do if someone else does it....you could turn her brain to mush......"

"You're a fucking moron, you know that? I'm not gonna listen to guy who obviously doesn't know what he's talking about and can't control his own powers." Unko said rolling his eyes. "And yes I know the danger of it if someone *else* does it meaning *you*. I actually know what I'm doing and I'm tired you acting like you know what you're doing."

"Its dangerous for anyone ecpecially me cause i don't know but even if you do it is still dangerous" Nathan said jumping from the table angrily now.

"How the hell can you be so sure of yourself? For someone who doesn't know how to control their powers you're sure acting like a Know-It-All and now thanks to you my little plan is in shambles so shut up or I'll turn *your* brain into mush!" Unko yelled at Nathan. "Damn, I just want to get back to my tortillini."

Luna raised an eyebrow and took down the barrier around Vixen's mind. She narrowed her eyes and picked Unko up by his collar, "And for both of you, you're BOTH amuaters. If you EVER do that to either Vixen or me again, turst me, I'll send you to hell personally." She put hium down and sat by Vixen, looking at her.

Vixen nodded her head and frowned.

Luna shook her head, an smiled dangerously.

Vixen pushed Luna in the shoulder, smiling as well.

They both laughed. "So which first?" Vixen asked.

"Roller coaster of course," Luna answered smiling.

Unko laughed. "Amateur? You're saying that out of angst because this idiot won't shut up and he dragged me into this. I'm no amateur because there's no point going around showing off like you just did and what *he's* been doing. Now I say we all just have some fun."

"For once i agree with him this is supposed to be fun not a damn war zone" Nathan said sighing, we can finish this back at the dorms Unko.

Luna laughed, "Showing off? You think I was showing off? Trust me, that's not even the least of what I can do." She turned to Vixen, nodding her head at Unko.

Vixen laughed, trying not to fall over. She leaned back against Nathan without realizing it, her body shaking from the force of her laughs.

Luna smiled widely and winked at Nathan. She stood up and headed toward the rollor coaster.

"Well do you want to go do something now...." Nathan said smiling at Vixen leaning on his shoulder.

Vixen stopped laughing and looked up, she blushed, blinking, "Um, sure," She smiled, "Let's go on the roller coaster!"

"It had to be that.." Nathan said sighing, "Well lets go then...."

Vixen giggled, "You can sit next to me..." She pinched his cheek playfully.

"Yay" Nathan said laughing.

Unko shook his head. "I don't need this. I'm going for a drink." he said before turning around and walking back towards his dorm.

Luna laughed, "You're not coming?" She smiled, she was flirting slightly with him, hoping he wan't dense like a lot of other guys.

"Nah, I don't need an amateur trying to out do me so the buck stops here while I have a shred of patience and humanity for him, besides roller coasters aren't really my thing." Unko said with a shrug.

Luna sighed, and ran a hand through her hair, she looked up at Unko, "Well, then what do you like to do?"

"All right so lets go then...before i change my mind.." Nathan said smiling.

"Well, I'm going for a drink. You can tag along if you like." Unko said.

Vixen laughed, and stood in the short line with Nathan.

Luna shrugged, smirking, "Sure, I could use a drink anyway." She walked up to Unko.

great i hate these things Nathan thought to himself standing beside Vixen.

Vixen looked up to Nathan, she frowned slightly, "Are you sure you want to go on this ride? We can go on another if you want."

"I saw this bar on the way down here so I thought I might check it out." Unko said while looking around.

"Well, I've been in biker bars, so it can't be that bad," Luna smirked.

"Biker bars? Please, have some dignity. I prefer middle to upper class establishments, not one's where fights always break out in that usually gets me busted." Unko retorted.

"Well, excuse me, Mr. Stuck up...I don't know what Vixen sees in you," Luna said, rolling her eyes. She looked him up and down, "You couldn't even get with a girl, I bet." She smirked.

Unko laughed. "Mr. Stuck Up, eh? Aren't we original? You don't think I haven't noticed your little hints and flirts with me. Things aren't always what they seem like so why don't you be a little open-minded, alright?" Unko said while walking into the bar ignoring the bouncer.

Luna walked in after him, "You're not the first guy I've flirted with. I'll give you that you're not dense, but you're no original either. I've met a dozen guys like you who think that they can get whatever they want, just because of how they look, their money, or they think that their so smart that they can trick someone. So don't give me that lecture." Luna sat at the bar, winking at the bartender, and he slid a beer down to her, winking back. Luna stood up, the bartender looked her up and down. Luna leaned in to Unko, "See there's another of your type....So easy to get to..." She laughed, leaning back.

"Oh, it shows that you've flirted before, in fact I'm sure you're a *real* pro at it and I don't care about a thing like originality. It's trivial because it doesn't get you anywhere. I live my life they way I want to because for years I've had it controlled. I don't out smart people I merely apply more logic along with common sense to prove the flaws in their ideas and their reality, now please give up the ploy and enjoy things without too much thought." Unko said with a smirk. "Give me a martini please."

Luna laughed, "Well I guess you can say that. I don't thing of my self as a 'pro'...I guess you can say that having daddy as the devil does come with a few likes of sins." She took a swing of the beer, "As for no thought, I'm all for that." She smirked.

The bartender placed his martini in front of him and Unko took it and took a small sip of it. "Referring to your 'daddy' is a useless ploy in trying to explain qualities of yourself. He can only give you the ability to use it but not the quality itself."

Luna laughed, "What happened to just enjoying...no thought? You should take your advice." Luna sat down in a private booth in the back, out of eyes of everyone.

"Who said anything about thought? I'm allowed to express what I feel, don't I? I think you took my context too literal." Unko said before downing the rest of his martini. "Bartender, another round, please."

LUna laughed, "Yes,you're allowed. I didn't take your context too literally, I merely said, stop with the smart guy crap, and just relax." Luna leaned over Unko and this time grabbed an Apple martini.

"You think I try with this stuff? It's like breathing and I think *you* need to relax more. I am relaxed. You'll hardly ever see me not." Unko then took a big gulp of his martini.

Luna laughed, grabbing her martini, "Trust me, after three of these, you'll never see me more relaxed." She smiled, her fangs showing.

"Only 3? Can't hold your alcohol, can you?" Unko laughed.

Luna chuckled, leaning close to his ear, "I had more to drink before I met all of you at the park." She grinned dangerously.

"I don't think so. Otherwise there'd be no way you could monitor yourself on how much it will take to get you 'relaxed'." Unko said

Luna laughed, still leaning close to Unko, "THe whole room is spinning and I've already slurred my words and tripped. And if you haven't noticed, the only reason I'm staying this close to you is because right it's a little hard to stand up. However, I can control it, I've been drunk quite a few times. I learned it from Vixen when she was way more wild," Luna chuckled.

"And here I thought you were just clumsy." Unko laughed.

Luna stood up, laughing, "Well, as much fun as it is, I'm going to dance." She headed toward the dance floor.

"I'll prepare a room for you in the hospital." Unko joked.

"Ha ha," Luna said, looking back, she smirked and walked to the middle of the floor and started to move to the music, never stumbling or tripping.

"Well, this is certainly a little odd..." Unko said taking a sip.

Luna walked back from the dance floor, and waved to the bartender who gave her another martini. SHe smiled.

"What are you smiling about?" Unko said raising his eyebrow and taking another sip.

Luna raised her eyebrow, "What now I can't smile?" She smirked.

Unko put his head down and smiled. "I never said you can't, I'm asking why."

Luna laughed, "No, you asked what I was smiling about. But I was just smiling because I'm happy, if you must know."

"Well, there are reasons behind everything so what's the reason that you're so happy?" Unko said with a smirk.

Luna paused for a moment, biting her lip thinking, "Oh..I know...Being happy!" She laughed.

"I see... you're trying to avoid giving me a straight answer." Unko said with a short shake of his head.

Luna stopped smiling, completly serious, "Not everything has an answer Unko." She placed her drink on the bar, and headed to the dance floor, looking bac, smirking, she said, "You coming or what?"

"Everything has an answer, the meaning of it is sometimes unclear but nonetheless it's an answer." Unko muttered before putting down his drink. "There's not enough room on that floor to dance how I do."

Luna sighed, "Okay, fine. I'm happy beacuse I'm drunk and I'm drunk because I had too much alcohol. And if there isn't enough room, make it." She chuckled.

"The last thing I need is attention being drawn to me, I'm fine. If you want to see me dance you'll have to wait until another time." Unko said

Luna chuckled, shrugging her shoulders, "Your choice." She headed to the dance floor again, this time stayin g at the edge.

Unko finished the rest of his drink and asked the bartender for the bill. "Well, I'm gettin' out of here."

Luna looked at a clock, "Looks like I better get back, school's in the morning." She walked up to the bar, laying down twenty-five dollars, and headed for the door.

"Yeah." Unko said paying and then walking out the door heading back to his dorm.

---

"If you want to go i will it's fine with me" Nathan said smiling.

Vixen kissed him on the cheek, "if you're sure." she sounded like she wasn't convinced.

"Don't worry about it if your happy i'm happy" Nathan said smiling down at her.

Vixen laughed and settled herself into Nathan's side, waiting for their turn.

"Well it's our turn...." Nathan said hesitantly stepping up with Vixen.

Vixen took Nathan's hand and sat down, sliding over, "You don't have to come on." She smiled.

"I..It's ok if i didn't want to come I wouldn't have..." Nathan said even more hesitantly sitting down beside her. I am going to die

The rollor coaster started and Vixen held Nathan's hand, smiling.

clenching her hand tightly, Nathan said, "I am going to die....aren't I"

Vixen laughed, "Trust me, it's fun."

"....ok..." Nathan said shaking beside her grasping her hand even tighter now.

"Ow, ok don't brake my hand, please," Vixen laughed, loosening his hand.

Letting go quickly, Nathan said, "Oh i'm sorry" embarrased slightly.

Vixen looked at him, the rollor coaster starting to climb up the huge hill, "I didn't say to let go." She laced her fingers through his.

"...I'm sorry..." Nathan said sqeezing her hand again.

Nathan and her were in the first car, Vixen looked out, "Here we GO!" she said, as the rollor coaster slid down the tracks, down the 200 foot hill.

Screaming in horror, Nathan accidentally released the safety bar and belts with his powers. Screaming more now as both him and Vixen were flung from the car.

Vixen yelped and changed into water without trying, cushioning her's and Nathan's fall. She turned back, "OK, how'd I do that?" She laughed.

"I have no Idea...but it saved us though" Nathan said wondering what happened himself.

"I just hope that if it happens again, I know how to do it," Vixen smirked.

"Yeah i know" Nathan said smiling, "but that was the best ride i have ever been on" he added laughing while thinking, if she didn't do it then...did i tap into her....it couldn't be....thats not......

Vixen smiled, "I know how I did it." She hugged Nathan.

"Ah so you just like to mess with me then" Nathan said playfully, thats a relief....

Vixen shook her head, pulling back, "No I just figured it out." She chuckled.

"Ah well now that that is over with do you want to do something else" Nathan said laughing.

Vixen looked to the side, smiling, "Bumper cars..."

"Ooh i actually like those" Nathan said laughing hugging her.

Vixen hugged him back, smiling, and then took off in the direction of the bumper cars.

"Wait on me" Nathan said chasing after her laughing.

Vixen stepped into line, out of breath, grinning.

"Why are you out of breath it wasn't that far" Nathan said teasing her laughing.

Vixen laughed, "Still out of breath from the fall."

"Ah...sure" Nathan said smiling, "C'mon its our turn" Nathan said paying for the both of them.

Vixen walked in and climbed into the blue number "9" car, grinning.

"Why that specific car" Nathan said smiling climbing into the closest one too him.

"I like blue and ( is my lucky number..ok, well 13 is my lucky number but I've been here before and this one doesn't stick as much," She laughed.

"Ok well should we make this interesting and use our powers?" Nathan asked laughing, "It'll be fun...." he said drawn out smiling.

"No, because you have more useful powers than I do, so no fair," Vixen stuck her tounge out at him.

"Well how is this then" Nathan said raising both of there cars, "I'm gonna be exhausted after this but it'll be fun" he added smiling.

"I think the roller coaster was enough and you're gonna need your strength for later," Vixen smile dknowingly.

"Well that wasn't creepy" Nathan said smiling struggling to set them both down softly, "but i suppose this is best the man taht runs this was shouting a few 'choice words' at me" he added laughing.

Vixen laughed, ramming his car, and stuck her tounge out, "That's not what I meant." SHe reversed and hit someone else.

"I didn't know what you meant thats why it was creepy" Nathan said laughing ramming ther person inbetween them.

Vixen laughed, "Well, you'll see and it's not what you're thinking." She rammed someone on the other side of her.

"I'm not thinking about that but you seem to be alot considering you keep bringing it up" Nathan said sticking his toungue out at her and backing into someone.

"Just making sure, I know you're not thinking that because you haven't made a move, " Vixen said, getting out of the car, as the ride ended.

"What it seems like you almost wanted me too" Nathan said smiling, " and i didn't read that from your mind anyway...."he added hugging her after he got out as well.

"Well it is a bit disapponting, I mean even Matt the jerk, got farther than you did. I'm starting to worry about you, Nathan, "Vixen laughed.

"Well this is technically our first 'date' so it would just be impolite to act so soon and i just met you earlier today..." Nathan said looking down towards the ground.

"Well you never did ask me out, "Vixen laughed, pulling Nathan's face up to look at her.

"Well how's now...do you want to go out sometime" Nathan said smiling and kissing her on her cheek.

Vixen laughed, "Sure why no? You're kinda cute."

"Kinda" Nathan said laughing, "Now that hurts my feeling" he added pretending to cry.

"Well, maybe it's the truth," Vixen said, trying to keep a straight face.

"You are so mean to me" Nathan said trying not to laugh as well.

Vixen laughed and ran ahead to a forested area.

Running beside her now, Nathan asked smiling, "where are we going now?"

She smiled, "You'll see." SHe paid for their admission.

"Ok" Nathan said smiling wrapping his arms around her waist from behind.

Vixen chuckled, taking his hand, "Let's go get our stuff."

"What stuff" Nathan said laughing a little.

"Our guns and ammuntition," Vixen grinned.

"WHAT, guns....ammo is this a firing range..." Nathan said nervously, "I have never shot a gun before...."

Vixen laughed, "No, it's paintball." She smiled at Nathan.

"Ah now that i know" Nathan said laughing, "but i hope you know I've never been hit before" he added winking at her you know its hard to touch a psychic.

"Good, then you're on my team," Vixen laughed, she walked up to a tent with ten other guys and grabbed some pads. She turned back to Nathan, It's also hard to get hit when you're a shapeshifter. She winked back.

"Ah then this should be easy" Nathan said laughing grabbing pads and picking out a gun.

Vixen put on her pads, but couldn't reach the one that closed over her back, she sighed, "Forget it." She walked over to get a gun.

"Do you need help" Nathan said finishing strapping on his pads and walking over to get ammo.

"Nah, I'll just leave it," She picked out one and got some paintballs.

"Well are you ready to have some fun with these guys" Nathan said smiling loading his gun.

Vixen smiled knowingly, "Yeah, watch out, I know some of these guys and they're good."

One of teh guys smiled at Vixen, "Hey Vix," he strapped her pad on her back together, "See you out there." He walked over to his team.

Is it agaisnt the rules to send there own ammo back at them Nathan said smiling at her.

"Yes, so don't do that, especailly to Mikey or John John." SHe frowned a little, "...Please."

"Fine, but do they know about our...skills" Nathan whispered to her.

"They know about me, and they find it cool. You should have seen their faces when I changed into them for the first time," Vixen laughed, heading out, she looked back at Nathan, "You coming?"

"yeah" Nathan said coming out of his little world blushing, "I'm coming, I'm coming."

"Good, good," Vixen smiled.

"Alright then how many people on the teams..." Nathan said smiling.

"Two on each, "Vixen said, "Doubles today, actaul teams are tomorrow. The torement is then."

"Ah ok then now lets get started, where is the field" Nathan said playfully.

"Just over here," Vixen walked through an opening, where everything is.

"OOh its pretty big, can i take the things with me to block" Nathan said playing.

"Noo..." Vixen said, looking up the sky, and ran to hide behind a tree, "It's started!"

"Ok..." Nathan said ducking behind a tree using his powers to see, one is sneaking up on you Vixen he said before rolling around shooting at him.


"Half the fun is not using your powers!" Vixen laughed, running for cover as Mikey aimed for her, smirking.

Vixen ran behind another tree, aiming back at Mickey, smiling back.

"Fine" Nathan said diving to another tree shooting at Mikey still.

John John came up and hit Nathan right in th chest with a red paint ball and Mickey hit Vixen with a green on in the face.

"Well i'll be damned" Nathan said laughing showering them both in paint balls.

Vixen took out a paintball and hid it in her hand behind her back, putting up mental sheilds so Nathan couldn't read her mind. She walked right up to him, "We got hit that means we're out."

"ok so we can have some fun now then" Nathan said shooting her with the gun laughing.

Vixen gasped, taking the paintball in her hand and shoved it into his face, so his face was blue. She laughed, almost falling over and ran over to the tent.

"Don't run" Nathan said chasing her with a hand full of paintballs. "See there was no point to that" he added smearing them all over her laughing, "now where to next.."

Vixen laughed, aiming her gun at Nathan, until she ran out, "To get something else to wear. I'm not walking around in...green, blue, red, purple, and yellow."

"Why not its cute" Nathan said laughing chasing behind her. "Well if you're not i'm not either..." he added smirking.

Vixen laughed, "No way, I'm changing!"

"Gah can't we just mugg someone and steal there clothes that is a long walk" Nathan said bursting with laughter.

Vixen smiled, "There's a shop here." She walked out of the woods and around the corner. It was a large shop that held both guy clothes and girls.

"Oh thank god i've been dying to get into something casual anyway" Nathan said laughing.

"I have tons of credit here, so we don't have to pay," Vixen smiled.

"Are you sure.....I don't mind..." Nathan said smiling.

"Yeah this wouldn't be the first time I've been here, I bought so many clothes, they gave me tons of credit," Vixen smiled.

"Ok well lets go then" Nathan replied smiling walking in and stopping to hold the door for Vixen.

Vixen walked in, to the left was casual clothing for guys and to the right was girls. She turned to Nathan, "See you in a bit?"

"Ok" Nathan said smiling walking over to find a pair of jeans.

Vixen chcuckled, and turned to see a saleswoman she knew very well. She sighed, "Ok, and yes I am."

The woman smiled widely and dragged her off to the dressing room.

"Ha finally" Nathan said finally finding a decend pair of pants, "now for a shirt..."

Vixen looked in the mirror, blushing, "I am NOT going out in this! Ever!"

"Your not going out in what" Nathan shouted back smiling picking a t-shirt out.

"YOU WILL NEVER KNOW!" Vixen shouted, blushing, she could feel her face heat up. OMFG! It's PINK!!

"I didn't catch that the stupid barrier got in the way say that again" Nathan said laughing walking into a changing room.

Vixen headed back to the changing room, closing the door.

"Are you mad at me now..." Nathan said walking out of the changing room and up to the counter.

The man behind the counter laughed, "No, Charlette just hates pink and she more than likely had her try it on."

Vixen walked out and looked in the mirror, "Okay, it's not bad." She blushed again.

"Hey it looks nice" Nathan said smiling, "what about me" he added chuckling a little.

"Pervert! Get out of the girls' changing room!" Vixen said, throwing clothes at Nathan, "You shouldn't be in here." She laughed a little, "And you look nice."

"Thanks" Nathan said, "But you do know there is anothe mirror behind you that i saw you were dressed in before i walked ever here" he added laughing.

Vixen blushed and walked back to the changing room, slipping on a light blue hatler summer dress that reached her mid thigh and was snug to her body. She turned to her own form and pulled back her long blonde hair into a high ponytail and grabbed the black headband and slid it on, along with the high heels sandals. She walked out, "How do I look?"

"You look beautiful" Nathan said smiling.

Vixen blushed, "Shut up, what do you know?" She walked over to the counter, "Charlette."

He rang them up and waved good-bye to them, as Vixen took Nathan's hand and headed out.

"Well i know i have good taste" Nathan said laughing and hugging her lightly, "so where to next..the ferris wheel, what?"

"Ha, the last time I was on one of those I was eight," Vixen said, smirking.

"Well where too then you know if we go on the ferris wheel it may just get 'stuck' for a while" Nathan said laughing.

Vixen playfully hit him on the arm, "Maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing. I'm not scared of hieghts." Vixen had a small blush on her cheeks as she smiled.

"I'm not scarred of Heights either just roller coasters" Nathan said laughing.

"Let's go on the ferris wheel," Vixen smiled widely. She ran toward it, laughing.

"Maybe i won't break the screw this time" Nathan said laughing playfully. "I'm just kidding"

Elyria followed Max off of the school grounds silently, "So how far away is it?" She asked.

"Around the corner, I believe," Max pointed to a small shop around the corner.

Elyria nodded when she saw it.

Max smiled, openinf the door.

Elyria smiled as she entered the shop.

Max walked up to a small counter. It was an old fashioned ice cream parlor.

"Wow, this place looks really nice..." Elyria commented.

Max nodded his head, "Why don't you sit down?"

Elyria nodded and made her way over to a small table slowly, seating herself.

Max sat beside her, "So what do you want?" He smiled.

"Anything that's good," Elyria replied.

"Come on, you must have a favorite," Max smirked.

"I can't ever make up my mind... it's all very delicious..." Elyria said softly.

"Pick three," Max smiled.

"It's still a difficult choice... so many flavors to choose between..." Elyria said, "Hmm... chocolate is yummy, so's mint chocolate chip... oh! And moosetracks..."

Max chuckled, walking up to the counter grabbing all three. He walked back setting them down, "There you go."

"What about you?" Elyria asked.

"Choclate is my favorite," Max chuckled, reaching for two spoons and handed her a spoon, smirking.

Elyria nodded her thanks, taking the spoon, "Oh? Good choice." She smiled.

---

"So are you ready to get on the ferris wheel" Nathan said smiling walking over to it.

"Yeah I gues, though I haven't been on one in nine years," Vixen laughed, steppin gup onto the platform.

"Well you probably won't forget this time" Nathan said smiling deceptively.

"And why is that?" Vixen grinned.

"You will see" Nathan said as he stepped into the basket as his eyes began to turn cloudy.

Vixen giggled, sitting closely to Nathan.

"Now hold on when we get close to the top, it may get a little.....bumpy......" Nathan said chuckling lightly.

Vixen laughed, "Okay, I will." She loopped her arm through his, and rested her head on his shoulder, smiling softly.

"Its going to suck if someone from the school is here..." Nathan said smiling focusing on the gears.

"Oh, really. Why?" Vixen looked up at him.

"I mean a teacher by that, I don't think i'm supposed to be doing this" Nathan said laughing lightly.

"Though techinally, we're not in school. AND, school's not in session yet," Vixen laughed, laying her head back on his shoulder.

"Well maybe you are right then" Nathan replied chuckling alittle.

Vixen pulled her head back up," Maybe?" She chuckled.

"That made me nervous....are you ready..." Nathan said as he started to lock up the gears, "Hold on...."

Vixen laughed, "I'm always right...not maybe right.." She laced her fingers through his.

"And bam" Nathan said as his eyes returned to there normal color and the gears completely locked up stranding everyone on the ferris wheel, "now maybe nothing will break from the stress cause i can't stop the whole damn wheel" he added chuckling lightly.

Vixen looked out, she smiled softly, "I like this view."

"Its definately new.." Nathan said smiling wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

"You can see the whole town," Vixen giggled.

"There is a slight problem...i bent one of the gears so we are going to be stuck up here for a long time...." Nathan said sighing.

"There's nothing wrong with that," Vien smiled, looking up at Nathan.

"Ok if your fine so am i" Nathan said smiling down to her.

Vixen kissed Nathan on the cheek.

Blushing, Nathan pulled back then smiled.

Vixen titled her head tot he side a bit, "Why did you pull away?"

"B...Be..Because i am still nervous....." Nathan said looking down atthe bottom of there basket.

Vixen blushed a bit, and pulled his face back to hers, "How about we make it go away?"

"Wh....what...." Nathan said as his eyes widened and he blushed even more now.

Vixen giggled lightly, "I'm sorry but that was kinda worth it. I jsut had to see if I could try to make you blush more."

"Why...." Nathan said trying to hide the fact he is still blushing.

"Because it's cute," Vixen kissed him on the cheek again.

Though he still blushed, Nathan didn't pull back this time only leaned in and kissed her.

Vixen smiled softly into the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck.

AS vixen wrapped her arms around him, Nathan wrapped his arms around her waist thinking, This one might actually last, she knows about my powers and doesn't hate me...

Vixen pulled back a bit, chuckling lightly, "Of course I don't hate you."

"Wha...Ho....Huh I didn't say that outloud don't tell me I did it again..." Nathan said extremely embarrased.

"No, you sure you didn't say anything? I swore you did," Vixen just realized what was going on, it showed on her face. "Oh no. It's me, this has happened before. It seems if I have physical contact with someone who has 'powers', I seem to tap into them, only momentarly though. I think it comes with the ground of being a shapeshifter."

"It sounds like high level telepathy or empathy to me...." Nathan said still embarrased.

"Well, when I change into someone, I kinda become them. it's weird I know, but I don't know what I really can do," Vixen chuckled, blushing a bit.

"Not really, It's just you probably have empathy powers as well as your shapeshifting...and that is pretty rare.." Nathan said smiling.

Vixen blushed a bit more, and laid her head on his shoulder. She looked up at Nathan.

"You know what, you are cute when you blush too.." Nathan said smiling down at her.

Vixen chuckled and kissed him.

You know what I could get used to this Nathan said to Vixen as he wrapped his arms back around her and leaned into the kiss.

So can I, Vixen chuckled, wrapping her arms back around his neck.

Well I am glad to know that Nathan replied blushing as she wrapped her arms around him.

Vixen laughed, sitting up a bit, causing her to be closer to Nathan.

"This is even better" Nathan said laughing slightly as he kissed her nose.

Vixen giggled and kissed Nathan on the forhead.

Smiling, Nathan said, "are you ready to get down yet..."


Vixen smiled, nodding, "Yeah..."

"Ok then hold on" Nathan said as the bars holding there basket buckled and snapped and they began falling to the ground. "This is fun" He added over the roaring in his ears as he began to slow the baskey down while they decended.

Vixen placed a hand over her rapidly beating heart. She hit Nathan in square in the chest, "Don't do that!"

"I don't suggest you let go yet" Nathan said laughing as he slowed ther decent farther adn the cart began to jerk and twist.

Vixen gasped and held onto Nathan, "You did that on purpose."

"Actually no that was a wind gust...but this is on perpose" Nathan said as he made the cart spin around rappidly laughing the whole time.

Vixen hit him again on the chest, this time harder.

When Vixen hit him, Nathan lost control of the cart and they began falling out of controll.

Vixen opened the cart and pulled Nathan and her out of it. They tumbled to the ground. Vixen landed on top of him, she looked down at him, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I stopped a foot or so from the ground and caught you..." Nathan said laughing, "That was fun though wasn't it" he added while he desended to the ground.

Vixen looked at Nathan, with a look of annoyance, "Yeah everything but hte last part."

"Don't be mad, I'm sorry..." Nathan said smiling as he touched the ground.

Vixen crossed her arms a bit, "I'm not mad, just slightly annoyed."

---

"So why are you going to this school?" MAx asked, eating the ice cream.

"I felt like I needed a change." Elyria replied with a shrug, "I've been moving around for a long time." She dipped her spoon into the mint chocolate chip ice cream.

"Yeah, my foster sister choose this school," Max said, placing down the spoon after all the choclate was gone.

"Foster sister?" Elyria asked, taking another bite of the mint.

"Yeah, Luna. Daughter of the devil, you know. She's okay most of the time, she likes to party so I don't really have to deal with her much," max chcukled.

"Daughter of the devil?" Elyria questioned, "Why do you say that about your foster sister?"

"She is, she's literally the daughter of the devil," Max chcuckled, leaning back.

"Oh?" Elyria said simply, finishing off the mint and dipping her spoon into the last bowl.

Max nodded his head, "Yeah, she's a bit weird but she's also kinda okay. IT sounds strange I know, you just have to meet her."

"Doesn't sound strange..." Elyria replied, "To be honest... nothing ever seems to sound strange anymore..."

Max chuckled, nodding, "I know what you mean."

"I think it would be nice to be able to stay here... maybe I'll actually be able to make... friends." Elyria said thoughtfully, more to herself than anything.

"I think so too," Max whispered in her ear, smirking.

Elyria gave a startled jump and quickly ducked her head in embarrassment.

Max rubbed his nose, chuckling.

Maybe if I'm surrounded by others like me... I won't be found. Elyria thought to herself, looking up with mild confusion as he chuckled.

Max just held his nose now, "So what do you want to do now?"

"I don't know, what is there to do here?" Elyria asked curiously.

"Whatever you want to so, this town is pretty big," Max chuckled.

"And I'm new to it." Elyria pointed out, "I don't know what's here..."

"amusment park, swimmming, golf, archery range...." Max laughed.

"It all sounds quite interesting..." Elyria said, "Though... what's an 'amusement park'?"

"A carnival or like a cicus but with rides," Max chuckled.

Elyria shook her head, not really understanding, "I've never been to either place..."

"Now you will," MAx stood up.

"Oh?" Elyria stood as well, "Sounds fun."

Max took her hand, and pulled her out the door, smiling.

Elyria allowed him to lead her out of the parlor, curious and excited at the same time.

Max lead her down the road as a giant roller coaster came into view. A ferris wheel with alll the lights and a lot of rides came into sight. THe noise of people having a good time could be heard. Max turned to her as they walked ot the gate, "So what do you think?"

"There's a lot of people and other things here..." Elyria commented, taking in everything that she saw, "Looks exciting..."

"Come on, I'll win you a stuffed animal before we go on some of the rides," Max laughed, "I'll teach you how to do one too if you want."

"Sounds fun." Elyria smiled, still amazed at everything that seemed to be going on all around them.

Max lead her to a game where you head to knock down the milk bottles. "Alright, an easy one," Max smirked, paying and threw a ball, it missed.

"What do you have to do? Hit those bottles over there?" She stifled a small chuckle as his ball missed.

Max smirked, "Yeah it is." His next ball hit the tower with a blazing tail. He smiled, "Pick it out."

"Hm... I'm not sure... terrible with choices, you won, so why don't you pick?" Elyria asked.

"You like dragons?" max smirked.

---

"And annoyed means that you are slightly mad..." Nathan said looking her in the eyes.

Vixen shook her head, "Not with me."

"Ok then" Nathan said lifting her up in the air with his powers as he stood up, then turning her upright. "Now where else do you want to go..."

"To be put on the ground," Vixen replied, glaring playfully.

"I'm working on that" Nathan said as he set her down infront of him.

Vixen laughed, reaching up and wrapping her arms back around his neck.

"Where to next" Nathan said smiling as he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her.

Vixen shrugged, "You choose."

"I don't know..." Nathan said smiling.

"Let's go get some ice cream and head back, there's a short cut," Vixen smiled.

"Ok that works for me..." Nathan replied reaching for her hand smiling still.

"Yeah....that was a long walk," Vixen held out her hand.

"Maybe, but it was interesting for sure" Nathan said laughing taking her hand gently.

"At least, I got the guy I wanted," Vixen smiled, and started walking.

"Well i am glad to hear that..." Nathan said smiling, "well what kind of icecream do you want..?"

"Chocolate," Vixen grinned.

"Good" Nathan said smiling.

"Why is that good?" Vixen laughed.

"Because chocolate is my favorite.." Nathan said playfully.

"It's not my favorite, but I really just want something chocolate right now," Vixen laughed.

"Well....I don't know if this will work out then..." Nathan said playfully laughing lightly.

"Well what about this," Vixen kissed Nathan, giggling.

Well this works... Nathan said smiling leaning down into the kiss.

Vixen pulled Nathan closer to her by tugging on his shirt.

This is even better Nathan said responding to her actions as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

Vixen smiled, reaching up and placed her hands on the back of his neck gently.

blushing as he looked up, Nathan said, People are starring...should we go to a place.....quieter....

Vixen frowned abit, but smirked, "Okay but you owe me." She giggled.

"Anything..." Nathan said smiling taking her hand back.

Vixen smiled, "Ice cream first though." She ran off to the ice cream palor.

"Ok that's fine with me..." Nathan said laughing chasing her.

Vixen laughed, slowing down a bit, but stayed out of arms' reach.

"fine then..." Nathan said as his eyes grew cloudy and she began to float in the air infront of him.

"Ah!" Vixen laughed.

Setting her down in his arms, Nathan said laughing lightly, "Well you were being mean to me....".

"What by running?" Vixen laughed.

"No not just running, running away from me..." Nathan said sniffling playfully.

Vixen stuck her tounge out at Nathan playfully.

"You wanna get icecream now...." Nathan said smiling as he set her on her feet.

"duh, of course," Vixen giggled.

"Well lets go then..." Nathan said laughing taking of for the icecream bar.

Vixen laughed, "Hey!" She chased after him and ran up beside him.

"Bye" Nathan said laughing as he took off leaving her floating in the air.

Stopping almost instantly hearing the commotion farther off, Nathan quickly returned to his serious nature dragging Vixen with him only mumbling, "something is wrong over here we can have fun later..."

Micheal had wriggled out from under Zim, but didn't keep running. Soon he could fly, which he'd avoid her, but not run. He knew he couldn't control the creature at this particular transformation, and in broad daylight, too. His face had already disformed from his usual human appearance. The muzzle appeared and fur sprouted in a thin layer, continuously growing. "Get away from me!" he yelled, not in a mean way, but with the rasp of a wolf's harsh voice mixed with the audible sounds of a human. His tongue had lengthened after this, forking at the tip. "I don't want you to get hurt!" His words cared, but not as apparent as his voice began to monotone to the howl and barks of wild wolves, his wings ever growing, the tip of bone ending as the muscles and skin crawled into place. The pain he felt from changing throbbed.

Zim dug her claws into him."Micheal!I care about you to much to let go!"She wrapped her arms around him and trembled,making sure she didn't let go,and he couldn't get out.She was on the brink of crying.

It seemed that the change between human and creature had finished, Micheal was no where near the surface. The words Zim spoke fell to deaf ears, unaware they registered in the back of its mind. The creature tore at Zim, basically pushing her away using its left fore arm's talons to dig into the girl's shoulder, one hitting a pressure point to cause her to kneel before it readied its left hand to slash lines in Zim's body, where they were didn't matter to the blood-thirsty monster. The snarling pointed teeth of the wolf parted to let out a battle cry of victory when the only thing that came out was a feeble pitying inaudible word. No matter how many times the creature tried, its left arm would not strike Zim, despite how hard the creature's right arm dug into the girl's shoulder.

Zim cringed and knealed infront of the creature.She weakly placed her opposite hand on the claw that was digging into her shoulder."Strike me as many times as you wish Micheal...But I will not fight back..."She smiled softly and looked up at him.Her eyes were the same,but seemed odd.They were glinting with some emotion she hadn't felt in her entire life.

The claw in Zim's shoulder had been removed carefully. Apparently, Micheal had found some control, because the creature took off into the air, its wings sending a gust against Zim unintentionally. It had risen about thirty meters, directly upwards before it stopped and hovered in that same place, looking back to Zim. It no longer resembled Micheal, but he began to think like him again. A small growl erupted in anger and frustration at not being able to dismember a human, despite Micheal's efforts not to do so.

Young Zimia put a hand to her shoulder and held it.She shivered and looked up at th creature that was once Micheal."Please...Don't go.."She whispered and reached out her hand twoards him."Don't leave me...I don't want to be alone...Please..."She started up at him,her eyes pleading and begging him to come back down.

It seemed her request worked. Almost as if planned by some higher power, Micheal's creature form simply faded, as if it disinigrated, sending an unconscious Micheal to the ground. Control reigned once more as the last remaining clothing, however shreded, only covered his waist and half of his thighs. His bare chest, arms, and lower legs lay exposed on the grass, only a yard from Zim. The landing didn't rouse Micheal, but was more or less that of a parachuting man, tuck and roll. He laid on the right side of his back, his face relaxed and pleasently human.

Zim quickly dashed over to him and wrapped her thin arms around."Oh Micheal....You had me so worried..."She began to cry,completely ignoring her bleeding and wounder shoulder.

"Whats going on over here....hey you are from the schoo......whats wrong..." Nathan shouted when he actually saw the two Vixen still in hand.

Zim looked over at him and trembled.

Running quickly for the girl, Nathan nealt beside her checking out her wounds asking, "What happened to you two...."

"I-I don't know what happened to him..But forget about me..."Zim tried covering the wound on her shoulder.

"Forget about you..." Nathan said confused, "you are losing alot of blood and he doesn't seem to have a scratch on him let me atleast stop the bleeding..."

Zim growled and her wolf ears lied back defensively."I'm fine!!"

JUST BE QUIET AND LAY THERE Nathan echoed in her mind aggrivatedly as he continued trying to stop her from hemmoraging.

Zim slashed the air with her claws."DON'T TOUCH ME!!!"

"STOP MOVING" Nathan yelled forcing her down with her powers, "now if you keep struggling, the force could crush you.." he added continuing to treat her wounds.

Zim kept struggling anyway."NO!I'll be fine!!Get away!!!"

"STOP FIGHTING ME!!!" Nathan screamed putting even more force down on the girl. "I'm almost done then i will leave you to your business and check him just be patient..."

Zim growled,yet also,cring in fear.She hated when people yelled."No Let go!!!!"

"You are going to make me hurt you if you keep struggling i am just stopping the bleeding and then i will let you do as you wish while i check on him...." Nathan said sighing in a calmer tone.

"I don't need help..."Zim growled.She was acting like a wounded animal.

"Enough of this nonsense...." Nathan said raising her instead of pressing her down, "this should be more confortable..."

Zim trembled and hissed."I can wrap my own wounds...I'm fine..."

"The tendons are torn in your shoulder....if something isn't done, you won't be able to use it again now be patient this is going to hurt..." Nathan said as his eyes began to grow cloudy and he put pressure to the wound with his powers.

Zim started screamed."STOP!IT HURTS!!"

"I know and i'm sorry it has to be stabilized..." Nathan said trying to hold back his pity for the girl, "ok now i am going to wrap it..." he added tearing a few strips from his shirt and wrapping her wound tightly, "there now for him..." he said smiling lightly as he set her back on the ground gently and walked over to the boy on the ground. He is from the school too.... he thought to himself checking him over for wounds.

A hand pushed Nathan away, and Micheal sat up. Within less than a minute, he had stood, stretching his arms. He appeared confused for a moment, then noticed Zim. Without a second glance at Vixena and Nathan, he quickly looked over the patch job implimented in what appeared a hasty manor. From what he knew from reading the files, Zim probably didn't make it too easy for the guy. He didn't lay a finger on her, but crouched down next to her, waiting, as if he didn't care that his bare skin shown.

Zim smiled at Micheal and wraped her arms around him."I am so glad you're okay..."

"Well it seems you are ok then...." Nathan said smiling as he stood and walked back over to Vixen. "And i am sorry for puttting you thorugh that but it was needed and you need to see a doctor soon before the energy i poured in to stabalize your arm dicipates...."

Zim growled and looked at her arm."Mom will fix it.."

"Ok as long as it is taken care of...oh and as for you over there....here" Nathan said to the boy beside her smiling as he handed him his overshirt, "you might want this....."

"Thanks, but no thanks," Micheal told him. He had straightened, his neck out of reach from Zim, and waved away Nathan's overshirt. He offered a hand to Zim's better arm and added, "I don't like using other's clothing. Nothing personal." He was monotone, but not unpleasant.

"Eh no problem..." Nathan said smiling, "now that you two are ok though i think that me and Vixen will be leaving now unless she has something she wants to say..." he added turning to her as he slipped his overshirt back on.

Vixen walked over to Zim and knelt beside her, she covered Zim's shoulder with her hands, a light shone through them, she closed her eyes. She opened them and pulled away, the wound healed. Vixen smiled soflty and stood back up, walking over to Nathan. She nodded, "All done."

"Well i'll be damned why didn't you do that before...." Nathan said laughing wildly.

"Because..." Vixen smiled to herself.

Because why.. Nathan said silently looking at her smiling.

'I'll tell you later' Vixen mouthed to Nathan, "Come on, the palor's going to close soon."

"Ok..." Nathan said wrapping one of his arms around her side smiling down to her.

"Alright, come on," Vixen wrapped her arm around Nathan, and started walking down the street.

Walking away from the other two students, Nathan looked down at Vixen mumbling, "ok now do you know those two i know i saw them at the school...i wonder what happened..."

"Yeah, I met Micheal, I know that girl goes to our school. But other than that, no idea what happened there," Vixen said, opening hte door to the palor.

"Ok it's later why didn't you heal them before or atleast tell me you could heal..." Nathan said confusedly.

Vixen laughed, "Okay, it later." She turned to the man behind the counter, "Uh..two chocolate, mine in a cone please," She smiled and looked back at Nathan, "I can't heal, all I did was a bit deeper shapeshifting than I normally do."

"Ah well that makes some sense atleast...." Nathan said smiling waiting on there icecream.

The guy brought over the ice cream. Vixen took her hers smiling, "Well it's hard to explain. I just do it; with shapeshifting, you feel it, you don't really think about it."

"Yeah i understand..." Nathan said smiling digging into his icecream.


Vixen licked her ice cream, sitting on a stool. She smiled at Nathan.

"Hey has the icecream been paid for yet..." Nathan asked as he got an idea.

"You pay when you're done," Vixen laughed.

"Ok well lets go then...." Nathan said smiling as he left the money on the table and turned back to her.

"alright," Vixen smiled.

"Hurry up.." Nathan said smiling as he took her hand and drug her into the forest, "We are going to a place i like now...you will too...." He added ashe turned to her.

"Okay..okay. I'm coming, if you make me drop my ice cream, you're dead," Vixen laughed, smiling.

"Alright we are almost there..." Nathan said stopping and turning to face Vixen smiling.

"Okay, then let's go. Wait do I have to close my eyes or something like that?" Vixen laughed lightly.

"No just give me your hand he said smiling as his eyes grew cloudy and they began to float up through the tree's.

Vixen 'eeped' and wrapped her arms around Nathan's neck.

"Here we are..." Nathan said setting the two of them down oh a thick branch near the top of a tree. "look over there..." he said smiling pointing towards the school.

"Wow, how did you find this place?" Vixen loosedned her grip on Nathan, instead, took her arms back and leaned against him.

"I read someone's mind thst was sitting here by accident when we walked by going to the fair. I saw what they saw and I thought it was beautiful...." Nathan said wrapping his arms around her from behind.

Vixen nodded, licking her ice cream.

"Well what do you think.." Nathan said taking ha bite of her icecream laughing.

"It's beautiful..and hey! WHat happenned to yours?" Vixen laughed.

"I finished it before we got here..." Nathan replied laughing lightly hugging her tightly from behind.

Vixen bit into the cone, smiling.

"Well alright then you said i owed you when we left earlier so how is here for you..." Nathan said smiling.

"Well, if it was the ground that would be better, but this is good," Vixen smiled, finishing her ice cream.

"If you want the ground that is fine too.." Nathan said holding tighter and falling backwards off the brach laughing.

Vixen gasped and flipped back onto a branch, having Nathan land beside her. She hit hin on hte shoulder, "What were you thinking?"

"I was planning on taking us down to the ground.....just faster....i was gonna catch us it was just quicker..." Nathan said rubbing his shoulder.

"Well how about warning me?" Vixen chuckled.

"Well why do that when this is so much more fun..." Nathan said laughing.

Vixen hit on the shoulder again, and jumped to the ground.

"Well that wasn't very nice..." Nathan said smiling landing behind her.

"Neither was falling off that branch," Vixen shoot back, smiling.

"We were going to float not fall...." Nathan said wrapping his arms back around her smiling still.

Vixen smiled, "Well I know a way you can make it up to me..."

"Oh really....like what?" Nathan said leaning on her shoulder.

Vixen smiled up at him, this time leaning on him, "I think you know."

"Oh.." Nathan said smiling before kissing her and caressing her cheek gently.

Vixen kissed him back, waeving her fingers into his hair.

Wrapping his other hand around her waist, Nathan backed himself up to the tree behind him and pulled her in closer still kissing her.

Vixen gently turned them around, so she was the one with her back to the tree.

Now why did you do that? Nathan said silently smiling lightly.

Vixen smiled, Maybe I wanted to be the girl.

Ok..well i definately don't mind... Nathan replied smiling more now before kissing her again.

Vixen pulled away, wincing, "I'm enjoying this, but these heels are killing me. Sorry."

"Its ok...here.." Nathan said smiling bending down slipping them off of her gently.

"Now you're too tall," Vixen pouted cutely.

"Ok then..." Nathan said smiling as she raised off of the ground about half a foot or so.

Vixen pushed herslef back down, "Or you could come down here." She smiled.

"What ever you want" Nathan said smiling as he leaned down to kiss her.

"I think I want this," VIxen giggled.

"Ok as long as you are happy....the only thing i want is you..." Nathan said kissing her again.

"Very sueve," Vixen giggled, kissing him back.

"Sueve eh...." Nathan said smiling picking her up and continuing to kiss her.

"The line was, not you," Vixen laughed.

"Thats what i was talking about...but you don't think i am...." Nathan said pretending to be upset.

Vixen laughed, "Oh shut up," and kissed him.

"Bu....." Nathan started to say smiling.

Vixen wrapped her arms around his neck.

I could get used to this... Nathan stated wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing back.

Me too, Vixen laughed.`

---

Micheal moved to sit in front of Zim, not minding a cold breeze brushign across his back. He'd often wished to become the creature, simply to have fur to keep him warm.

Zim smiled at him and took off her jacket."H-here..."

Micheal smiled, standing up right. He offered her his hand, the jacket resting across his opposite arm. "I'm fine," he said. "You're the one whose shoulder...was bleeding." He smiled lightly with this comment. "I'm sorry."

Zim smiled and took his hand."Don't be sorry...It was nothing..I've delt with worse in the past..."She got up."Besides....I knew you wouldn't hurt me..."

Micheal raised an eyebrow. "Did you, now?" he asked jokingly. He helped her up and didn't let go of her hand. "We should probably get back to school." He waited for her to make a move. He wasn't sure about her shoulder, though. It could still be sore.

Zim smiled softly and glomped him,nuzzling his cheek."Okay.."

Micheal, surprised by this, took a few moments to realize what just happened. Is she my... he thought, not even finishing the question in his own head. He simply lead her into the school, heading to his dorm.

Zim rubbed her shoulder."Ow..."She looked at Micheal and took his hand into her own small hand.She smiled up at him.

Well thats good to know.. Nathan replied smiling.

Vixen kissed Nathan.

This i really can.... Nathan thought to himself kissing back happily for one of the first times in a long time.

Vixen smiled, "We should probably head back to school.....in a bit."

"Yeah...but lets have some fun while we can...." Nathan said gleaming with joy.

"What did you have in mind?" Vixen smirked.

"I don't know this was working quite well for me..." Nathan said laughing lightly.

"Me too," Vixen laughed, stepping closer.

"Good..." Nathan said smiling as he pulled her even closer to him.

Vixen leaned up, kissing him.

"Oh i forgot...What about Unko and Luna..." Nathan said startlingly.

Luna and Unko are back at the dorms," Vixen said, sighing.

"Ok then well thats all i needed..." Nathan said turning back to her kissing her forehead.

Vixen laughed, "You missed."

"Well i wonder why..." Nathan said laughing.

"Well I thin you should aim better," Vixen laughed.

"If your moving all the time aiming won't do me a thing" Nathan said grinning.

"I love dragons." Elyria grinned.

Max smirked, "Aww, you love me?" HE chuckled.

"W-what?" Elyria stuttered, a slight blush touching to her face.

Max chuckled, "You said you loved dragons and I am one."

"Oh... I didn't know that..." Elyria replied.

Max shrugged, "Most people don't..."

"I know the feeling," Elyria replied.

Max raised an eyebrow, "Care to elaborate?"

"I mean about people not knowing what I was..." Elyria replied, "Though it's troublesome when they do know..."

"I can relate," MAx sighed.

"Oh? How so?" Elyria asked.

"Ethier I'm being run off for being a dragon or when some finds out, I'm dead," Max answered, he got a small purple dragon for her. He handed it to her with a smile.

"I guess you can relate then." Elyria nodded, holding the small dragon in a light grasp.

"How about we start with the ferris wheel?" Max smiled.

"Okay," Elyria nodded.

Max took her hand and started walking.

Elyria followed his lead, "So where is this ferris wheel?" She asked.

"Right over there," He pointed to it, it was right in front of them.

"Ohhh, that looks fun!" Elyria chirped happily.

"Yeah, it is," Max chuckled, stepping up to the ride, and sat down.

Elyria quickly sat down too, "What else is there here to ride?" She asked.

"A ton of roller coasters, merry-go-round,..." Max trailed off thinking.

"Sounds fun," Elyria nodded happily.

"Well let's start with this one," Max chuckled. The ride started, and they went up backwards.

Elyria turned slightly in her seat to look out as the ride began moving.

Max chuckled, watching her.

"Wow, this thing goes up pretty high, doesn't it?" Elyria said, turning to look at him.

"That's usaully the point," Max said.

"It is? That's nice." Elyria grinned.

Max chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Elyria asked.

"Nothing, you're just cute," Max smiled.

"Cute?" Elyria blinked.

Max nodded, leaning back.

Elyria sat forward in the seat again, "Everything always looks less complicated from above." She commented.

Vixen giggled, "I'm holding still now."

"Good.." Nathan said smiling leaning in to kiss her again.

Vixen pulled him down to her and kissed him.

"Hrm..." Nathan mumbled kissing aross her cheek and down to her neck.

Vixen smiled, kissing his forhead.

"well thats a new one..." Nathan mumbled chuckling slightly while he was kissing her shoulder.

Vixen leaned back against the tree, she smiled teasingly.

"Well as fun as this is it is getting really late, don't you think we should head on back to the school," Nathan said slightly unhappily even though he knew it was the right thing.

Vixen sighed, "I guess so..."

"There will be more time later...to continue where we left off...." Nathan said sighing but with a smirk on his face.

"We better," Vixen laughed lightly. "Come one, let's get back."

"don't worry i will make time...and yeah lets go home.." Nathan said putting his hand on her waist smiling as he started to walk back.

Vixen smiled, she transformed into a fox and ran up ahead.

"No don...." Nathan tried to say as he turned into a fox as well, damnit my telepathy made me turn as well because i was touching you when you did....

A white fox with six tails and red eyes turned back around and tapped it's nose against Nathan's.

Turning back, Nathan stood up saying, "Thank you..." Before beginning to laugh wildly.

The fox cutely tilted it's head and turned and ran to the school.

"Hey wait up.." Nathan said laughing.

The fox turned to Vixen, she laughed, slowing down she peered up at the school, "Wow"

"What..." Nathan said popping up beside her smiling.

"Still can't get over how that school looks. I love the old castles," Vixen smiled.

"yeah it really is beautiful..." Nathan said wrapping an arm around her side.

Vixen took his hand and headed up the the HSG Hallway.

Micheal smiled. "Yeah, pizza it is," he said, his arm still around Zim's waist.

Zim giggled and nuzzled his shoulder.She looked around."Hn...There it is!"She pointed to the pizza place and jogged to it.

Micheal kept up with Zim and looked around, seeing several people who he would bareley spend time with otherwise. He smiled and looked to Zim. "What do you want to eat?" he asked.

"Pizza."Zim smiled up at him.

Micheal laughed. "I meant what do you want on it and what kind of side order, Zim," he said, smiling and looking from the menu to Zim.

"I want...Bananas...And pickles..And icecreama nad M&Ms on my slice!And a side of cheese."Zim smiled cutely.

Micheal shook his head, but smiled widely. "I don't think they have that specific pizza around here," he said.

Zim whimpered."No fair."

Micheal pulled her in a one armed hug and brushed a few stray hairs from her face. "It's not that bad, really," he said. "There's just nothing like that on a pizza in this parlor."

"They use to have it..."Zim whimpered and stuck her tongue out at him.
