"Do you have any brother, sisters, pets, parents, food, shelter, necessities..."
Boy, is he a talker! Lita thought as he went on. Once he finally stopped to take a breath, she answered a few of his queries.
"I had a brother, up until a couple of days ago, I don't have any sisters, pets or parents, and the others are covered by my employers. What about you?"

Endosi
"You can come sit down here. I'll make some hot cocoa to go with breakfast. Tucker, you all right with that?" the guy said. Endosi didn't know what to feel. She was upset, tired, and she had just met the guy of her dreams.
"Th- thank you." she said, trying to wipe her eyes. She walked over to a chair and slumped into it. "Really, thank you. I- I've been trying to find a friend the entire night, and-" she started crying all over again. "I have no idea where he lives!" she buried her head in her hands and cried and cried. Her sobs racked and shook her body.

Tucker glanced over at the girl who Will was looking at and back at Will.
"Th- thank you." she said, trying to wipe her eyes. She walked over to a chair and slumped into it. "Really, thank you. I- I've been trying to find a friend the entire night, and-" she started crying all over again. "I have no idea where he lives!" she buried her head in her hands and cried and cried. Her sobs racked and shook her body.
Tucker stood looking perplexed but truly sorry for her, hoping Will was planning on responding to the poor girl's outburst.

Rollo
"I had a brother, up until a couple of days ago, I don't have any sisters, pets or parents, and the others are covered by my employers. What about you?"
"My parents disappeared when I was eight, so Tito has been taking care of me and Saben since then. I'm sorry about your brother. Tito has two puppies in our living unit. Speaking of home since you're coming to dinner we better start on the way there. By the way how old are you?

"Please! Don't cry!" Will hurried to find a tissue-box. (He knew he had one somewhere.) "Hey! Hey. Calm down, take a deep breath, and let's start at the beginning. I'm Will, and this is Tucker. What's your name?"
__________________________________________
"Speaking of home, since you're coming to dinner we better start on the way there. By the way how old are you?" Robin said, changing the subject abruptly twice."I'm sixteen at the moment." Lita replied to his question as they began walking. "How old are you and your brothers? Do you look anything alike?"

Endosi
"I'm Will, and this is Tucker. What's your name?"
"It's Endosi." she said, trying to stop crying. "Endosi Lylia Brightworth." she rubbed her eyes. "I'm sorry for intruding into your home, Will."

Rollo
"How old are you and your brothers? Do you look anything alike?"
"Tito is 18, I'm 17, and Saben is 16. We all have black hair but that's about it." Rollo ran out of conversational topics. He kept glancing down each ally way they passed to see if there were any gang members or thugs waiting to spring. "Miss," Rollo paused to think about what to say next, "do you know what time it is?" Smooth Rollo. Just keep up with the simple questions. I'm sure she isn't impressed.

"Do you know what time it is?" Robin asked.
"Well... it looks to be about 9 in the morning. Why do you ask? Oh! and Where is your house?" Lita said, though she wasn't thinking about the conversation so much as how nice it must be to have siblings.
______________________________________________
"Oh, you're welcome here! I mean, I know I only just met you, but I want to know everything about you! I feel as if I could gaze on you forever--" Will stopped himself and blushed bright scarlet. "I-I'm sorry, that was very forward of me." He turned to leave. "I'll go make that hot cocoa."

Archer nodded. "Yeah. Let's go."
He went over to Olivia and leaned over her. "Put your arms around my neck. I'm going to carry you. You can't afford to use any more energy or you'll burn out. I'll have to explain it." He shook his head. "I'll have to explain everything."
"I'm going to run ahead and let Sol know," Camri said before she dashed back to their house.
"Ready?" he asked her.

"I'm going to run ahead and let Sol know," Camri said before she dashed back to their house.
Olivia wrapped her arms around his neck. She was still breathing hard, and she felt just about ready to die from exhaustion.
"Thanks." she said quietly. She slumped into his arms, and without realizing rested her head against his chest. "I think I already burned out." she mumbled, almost to herself. "I feel like I just ran the hugest marathon the world has ever offered."

Endosi
"Oh, you're welcome here! I mean, I know I only just met you, but I want to know everything about you! I feel as if I could gaze on you forever--"
Will suddenly stopped, but Endosi wanted to hear more.
He feels as if he could gaze at me forever?
"I-I'm sorry, that was very forward of me." He turned to leave. "I'll go make that hot cocoa."
"Thank you!" Endosi called after him.
Before he was even gone, her eyelids felt incredibly heavy. She laid her head in her crossed arms, propped up on the table by the chair she was sitting in.
"I'm so tired..." she mumbled.

Tucker bit his lip and smiled to himself. I think Will has fallen...
Following Will into the kitchen, Tucker nudged him. "I hate to intrude on your personal life, but I think Endosi likes you…or at least the way she looks at you seems to say she does," he said. “Why don’t I finish the cocoa for you and you go talk to her?”

Rosie
Rosie's long, strawberry blonde waved lightly in the slight breeze drifting through the chilly air. She pulled her thin jacket up closer to her face and shivered.
"This is a nice day." she said with a smile. "Bit cold, but nice." she turned to her best friend. "Ready for a walk, Clover?"

Clover
"This is a nice day." she said with a smile. "Bit cold, but nice." she turned to her best friend. "Ready for a walk, Clover?"
Linking arms with Rosie, Clover grinned and looked up at the cloudy skies."I think it's a perfect day! Let's look in people's windows today and see what everyone's doing inside this afternoon." Clover laughed and looked at her blue eyed friend. "Of course the people inside might not like that very much."

"Of course the people inside might not like that very much." Clover said with a laugh.
Rosie smiled. She liked it when her friend laughed and smiled.
"I'd love to go window looking." she said as they started walking. "Think on the positive side. Maybe we'll make someone smile today. Maybe there's someone who's sick, and we can cheer them up."

Why on earth did I say that to her!?! I didn't even know I was thinking that until I said it! Since when do I speak my unconscious thoughts out loud? Will thought frantically as he put together the milk, cocoa powder, and sugar. Suddenly he heard foot-steps in the kitchen. Did she come in here? Will wondered as he whirled around to face--
Tucker.
"I hate to intrude on your personal life, but I think Endosi likes you…or at least the way she looks at you seems to say she does," he said. “Why don’t I finish the cocoa for you and you go talk to her?”
Will looked down at the pot of hot cocoa and let his breath out slowly. His anxiety went with it. He looked up at Tucker. "Do you really think she likes me? I mean, I know I like her... a lot. Even if I did just meet her today."

"Well, I believe she does. Maybe you should go talk to her and see for yourself." Tucker gave Will a reassuring smile. "Who ever said there isn't such a thing as love at first sight?" Just as Tucker had said that, he glanced out the window and saw one of the prettiest girls he had ever seen. She had beautiful strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes, and the sweetest smile. He found he couldn't take his eyes off of her. I just want to say hello to her...and find out her name. Shaking his head, Tucker tried to keep his focus. It was hard and he found himself watching the smiley blonde make her way down the street with the corner of his eye.

Rosie
As Rosie and Clover walked, they would glance in windows occasionally, smile, and then continue. They were about to peek through a window in a bright yellow house, when Rosie got a bad feeling.
"Hey Clover, let's skip that house." she said uncertainly. "Come on, let's look at the people in that next one beside it."
She smiled and her and Clover walked to the next house. Rosie stood next to the window and peered in.
She was staring at a young man. She couldn't tell his age, but she could tell that he was handsome, quite easily. She smiled at him through the glass.

Rollo
"Well... it looks to be about 9 in the morning. Why do you ask? Oh! and Where is your house?"
"No reason really. Our house is on the corner of Sub-Fence and Poplar. Nice place. Saben keeps it looking nice. Soooooooo...are you hungry now because I know a great cheese shop nearby?" Rollo thought, Oh! I told her my name was Robin...oh well.

Who ever said there isn't such a thing as love at first sight? Why shouldn't it be possible? I guess... I guess I do love her.
"Thanks Tuck-" Will said, turning around as he did so. Tucker was staring out the window and taking no notice of anything else. "-er."
Will turned back to the cocoa. It was about done. He poured Tucker a mug, and then poured himself and Endosi a mug each as well. "Here, maybe this will help. What friends did you say you were looking for again?"

Cheese? In the morning? Oh well, it's something different. "Alright, what kinds of cheese are there, Robin?"

"Thanks,” Olivia said quietly.
Archer inhaled quickly as she leaned his head against his chest, then he relaxed. She’s like me. It’s all right.
"I think I already burned out," she mumbled, almost to herself. "I feel like I just ran the hugest marathon the world has ever offered."
“Burn out means death, or in the very least hibernation. And you’re very close to that, so just stay with me and try not to move. We’ve got to get some energy into your system.”
Her soft blonde hair felt smooth and warm against his cheek and neck. The slender curve of her cheeks were––
Snap out of it, Archer. You’re no good for any of these girls. They wouldn’t understand your world. Just stick with the program. Stick with the plan.

Olivia
“Burn out means death, or in the very least hibernation. And you’re very close to that, so just stay with me and try not to move. We’ve got to get some energy into your system.”
"Burn out..." Olivia mumbled. She closed her eyes in pain, mental pain. It reminded her too much of... Charlotte. She could still remember that day, that moment, that agonizing moment when she lost her sister.
Don't start thinking about that. You promised yourself you wouldn't. It won't help you. It'll drive you mad.
"No it won't..." Olivia muttered aloud to herself. "It won't drive me mad."
It won't help to think on it. It's already over, and what's gone is gone. Dwelling on it will make you very moody.
"I don't care!" she said angrily. She almost jumped from Archer's arms, but she couldn't. She started crying into his chest. She sobbed, until her strength to cry was robbed from her. She slowly slipped into a strange darkness, and didn't remember what happened afterwards.
Endosi
"Here, maybe this will help. What friends did you say you were looking for again?"
Endosi slowly took the mug of hot chocolate and took a small sip. She smiled pleasantly as she let the warm drink spread through her.
"Thank you." she said wearily. "One..." she interrupted herself with a yawn. "One of my friends in Subterria got sick and I came to help him. I'm a..." she yawned again. "A Royale, training to be... a... doctor..."
She laid her head in her folded arms and fell asleep.

Archer sat in the chair to the left of the couch as Sol worriedly looked over Camri and the passed-out Olivia.
"Everything looks good–– except for these three thin lines on the sides of your neck, nothing is different."
"They're probably gills," Archer said quietly.
"Huh?" Camri asked. "You're not––"
"Welcome to the world of I.S.es."
"Then that means––"
"No, Camri. Just, no."
She looked away and studied Olivia's sleeping face. "How long will she––?"
"It depends. She used quite a bit of her energy, but she should come around soon. This is more of a faint. I've seen much worse. Of course... that girl was part electric eel..."

"So, you're an I.S. now?" Sydny said. He scratched the top of his head. His face was still a pale, ashen grey, and his eyes were rather dilated, but he smiled at her. "That's cool. How do you feel?"

Clover:
"Hey Clover, let's skip that house." Rosie said uncertainly. "Come on, let's look at the people in that next one beside it.”
Clover turned to look back at the yellow house. Something about it left an eerie feel in the pit of her stomach. Spinning around, Chloe found Rosie smiling to a young man in a window.
Tucker:
Tucker took the cocoa and thanked Will. “Sorry if I seemed to have lost attention, I really was listening.” With a smile, he left Will and Endosi to talk and walked back to the window. This time the blue eyed girl was smiling just outside the window and Tucker noticed another girl was with her. Giving the window a slight tug, Tucker opened, making sure not to disturb the people at the table. “Hullo,” Tucker said, his eyes sparkling.
