The big city.

Blake grabbed Ava's hand. "Suki, what are you doing here?"

~*~!~*~
He smiled and grabbed her wrists, holding them over her head. "Maybe I will try to get you to love me." He said, dropping her wrists, and leaveing. He wasn't kidding this time. "With no tricks etier." He added over his shoulder.

~*~!~*~
Jade buried her face into his chest. "I know, I know." SHe whispbered. "Maybe I should stay in heaven from now on."

~*~!~*~
Betty soon put dinner on the table. "Soup's on!" She called, through it was chicken, not soup.

Ava froze. Suki. This was Suki?

She remained silent, resisting the urge to glare at her or yell.
~!!!~
Raven squirmed in his grasp, trying to free herself. Her eyes widened when he spoke, and she glared at him. She was so sick of jokes from this guy.

She rubbed her wrists when he dropped them, and ignored him even as he added something. She turned and left, wondering how on earth he got into heaven in the first place.
~~~!!!~~~
Laurinda didn't even wait for Lance before she ran into the kicthen.
~!!!~
"No," Sable said quietly, holding her closer. "Not unless you want to. Raven spends most of her time up there, though I prefer earth." He smiled lightly at her.

((He looks 18 or 19))

"I can't vist my love?" She asked, she was glareing at Ava.

"I'm not Jake." He said, bitterly.

~!!~
Lance followed quietly.

~!!~
Jade smiled. "I perfer earth, but it's safer in heaven." She paused. "Most of the time."

Sable frowned, then nodded.

"Who knows, maybe Aden will leave you alone," He said.

Raven showed up then, mumbling to herself, something about cold hearted idiots.
~!!!!~
Ava returned her glare, stronger. She remained silent, but she held Blake's hand tighter.
~!!!!~
Laurinda sat down.

"Thank you," She said to Betty, but she did not smile.

Jade pulled away from Sable a little. "What's wrong, Raven?" She asked, through she said Raven; Waven. She was still haveing trouble talking.

~!!~
Suki frowned. "I love you."

"I don't love you anymore. I love Av."

~!!~
Betty smiled. "Before you eat wash your hands."

Lance was already at the kicthen sink washing his.

Laurinda frowned, then nodded. Things like that were long forgotten to her. She stood up and followed Lance to the sink.
~!!~
"Nothing," Raven said, looking up at her and smiling. "Just some idiot who enjoyed messing with me is all."

Sable frowned. "Who?" He asked. She shook her head.
~!!!~
Ava resisted the urge to smirk; it wasn't nice. She instead just held her glare steady at Suki.

Lance dropped the soap in her hands.

~!!~
Jade blinked. "Aden?" She asked.

~!!~
"How can you love her!?" Suki yelled.

"I just do." Blake said. "Now go a way."

Raven just nodded.

"But it's not a big deal. I can deal with him, don't worry about it," She said, seeing how furious Sable was looking.
~!!!~
Ava looked at Suki, her heart pounding against her chest. She didn't know what to say, or what to do.
~!!!~
Laurinda squeezed the soap and it flew out of her hands. She quickly picked it up and washed her hands, surprised at the amount of dirt on them.

Jade touched Sable's cheek. "I don't think he will drop that low, as to trick a child."

~!!~
Suki disappered.

~!!~
lance sighed.

Raven glared at her.

"I am not a child!" She protested. She was so sick of hearing that. "I may look like one, but I'm almost 20 now!" She yelled, and then disappeared.

Sable looked worrie.d
~!!!~
Ava relaxed slightly when Suki was gone, but still did not look at Blake.
~~~!~
Laurinda soon came back to the table, drying her hands on her shirt as she went.

Blake made her look at her. "I love you." He said, he loved hw it sounded. "I'm sorry that I loved another first, but I now love only you."

~!!~
Jade sighed.

~!!~
Lance followed.

"It's nothing to be sorry for," Ava said quietly, but still did not look at him.
~!!~
Laurinda sat down, unsure of what to do next.
~!!~
Sable frowned.
~!!!~
Raven was in heaven now, walking towards one of the small houses where she slept when she spent time here. It was only one room, but it was all she needed.

She looked furious as she walked.

"Then why won't you look at me?" He asked.

~!!~
Jade pulled out of his arms, and sat down. "She'll be fine."

~!!~
Lance sat down, and bagan picking at his food.

Ava finally did look at him, offering him a small smile.
~!!~
Laurinda dug into her food as if she hadn't eaten for a week, when in truth it had been almost that long since she'd had a good meal.
~!!!~
"I hope so," Sable mumbled, sittind down next to her.
~!!~
"Oh Raven, you're just a little girl!" She mimicked Sable. "A little kid," She mimicked Jade.

"I'm not a little kid!" She yelled to no one, still walking.

Aden laughed. "Don't grow old before time." He said comeing up behind her.

~!!~
Jade closed her eyes, and started humming.

~!!~
Betty, tried not to stare.

Laurinda felt her staring, but also didn't seem to care. She was just glad to have food for once. It was obvious that she had no manners whatsoever.
~!!~
Sable smiled lightly at her out of the corner of his eye. It amazed him how she could be so carefree at a time like this.
~!!~
"Sorry," Ava mumbled, and wrapped him in a hug.
~!!~
Raven jumped and spun around when she heard a voice, and glared at Aden.

"I'm sick of people treating me like a little girl," She spat. "I'm almost 20, and they act as if I'm still 11."

"In a way, aren't you?" He asked. "Isn't that when you died? And believe me, it isn't fun being that old."

~!!~
Betty looked at her food, and didn't say anything, not even at the fact Lance had his elbow o the table.

~!!~
Blake hugged her back. "It's fine."

~!!~
Jade opened an eye. "Sable . . .?"

"Yeah, well, whatever," She said, turning back around. "I know more than any 11 year old."
~!~!~
Sable looked at Jade, smiling slightly.
~!~!~
Laurinda finished eating in record time.
~!!~
"I'm scared, Blake," Ava whispered. "Scared that he'll come back."

"I'm worried, and not just about Raven. I haven't seen Dawn in a while, and appartently she gotten over her love for Dust."

~!!~
Blake tried to smile. "That makes two."

~!!~
Lance laguhed slightly.

~!!~
"And I know more then any 19 year old. And even if you grew older, you would have to appect the fact that to Sable you will always be a little girl." He said.

Sable frowned.

"Why do you think that is?" He asked.
~!!!~
"I don't know what to do," Ava whispered.
~!!!~
Laurinda glaerd at him when he laughed.
~!!~
Raven spun back around.

"Don't act like you know me," She said. "Don't think I haven't forgotten what you did to my brother."

"He did that to himself, he choose to have her memories taken." Aden repiled.

~!!~
"I don't know, but I hope it isn't another guy, she has a bad taste in men." Jade said quietly.

~!!~
Lance only laguhed harder.

~!!~
"Nor do I." Blake said softly.

"Yeah, to protect her!!" Raven shouted. "And then he sucked up his pride and went to you, and you just hurt him more!!"
~!~!~
Sable laughed softly.
~!~!~
Laurinda quickly looked away.

"I should go now," She said quietly, pushing her chair back and standing up. "Thank you for the food, though."
~!~!~
Ava felt her tears staining his shirt, and just hugged him closer.

Aden smiled. "Never trust a polition." He said, with a strange smile. "Isn't that people are saing these days, and yet he still trusted me to help."

~!!~
Jade smiled. "Have you learned to fly yet?"

~!!~
Betty frowned. "Just sleep here for the night, and leave in the morning."

~!!~
Blake was sad he couldn't do anything to help her.

((I had to switch computers, the chatbox wont' work on here. PM me the link to city of the dead?))

"Well, my brother can be an idiot sometimes," Raven mumbled.
~!~!~
Sable shook his head.

"I need to teach you to swim still, don't I?" He asked.
~!~!~!
Laurinda hesitated. She still didn't trust any of them. Slowly, she nodded.

Aden laughed. "See?"

~!!~
Jade smiled. "Yes."

~!!~
Betty smiled. "Lance you sleep on the sofa, Laurinda you can sleep on Lance's bed."
