HªppY Høµr!

[KERFUFFLE]

Haha, oh, right xD Er.. Dam.n? :L

Man! Don't do this to me!

"I know. But don't worry too much, because then you look suspicious. It's better to forget you really are a vampire and then there's not really anything to give us away. We're fine in sunlight, we can control ourselves if we're thirsty; like I say, my best advice is to not even think about it," Angie said to him, before starting to eat some of her food.

"Well, we don't get the opportunity to use it that much to our advantage," Brandon said with a shrug, "But I will say that it's cool in some situations, like when you're swimming." He saw her expression, the mixture of feelings behind it, and he wrapped his arms around her gently. "Everything will be fine, I promise." He needed the reassurance for himself sometimes, it was true, but he knew it would be okay.

Evander said, "That's okay." Though he wasn't entirely sure that it sat right with him, that Prudence knew things that weren't necessarily good about things that would happen to their friends-- adopted family, even.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Yeah. I just tooooold you! C:

It involves Prudence... I'm just trying to figure out how to make it work.

Mikey nodded slightly in agreement to Angie's statement. Yes, keeping a low profile was definitely key to not getting caught or accused of anything. "I guess you're right... I just get so nervous sometimes. This is all very new to me still, and sometimes my anxiety gets a bit carried away. You have my permission to punch me in the arm if I start fretting too much." He chuckled, then cleaned his plate in no time.

Sadie looked up at Brandon and smiled weakly, nervousness still in her eyes. "Thanks for the words of comfort... It's just... It's such a big change, you know? From how we've been up to this point and all. And i don't want it to change who I am as a person, because that would just... suck. I don't want our connection to change, or my connection to Cosette."

Prudence cuddled close to Evander and told him, "I love you Evander. Just in case you needed me to remind you." She smiled up at him and gave him a kiss, then gave a kiss to the baby. "And I love you too, Cosette!"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Told me what? I'm confused D:

Um, okay. Still not fair!

Angie chuckled and said, "I'm afraid you might need it; you do worry too much sometimes. But it's okay, it's hard not to be when you first become one, you notice things a lot more easily than other people do, that's how most end up getting found out." She ate a little more slowly than him, though not too far behind him, and she thought the food was great.

"I know, I understand. It's hard for me, so I know you must be nervous, but you mustn't worry over it too much because then when the moment comes, it won't be any easier. And it won't change you as a person, the only way you can change who you are, just as if you are human, is by telling yourself to do so. And it is scary, but you just have to hold onto the positives and jump." Brandon wrapped his arms more tightly around her, completely enveloping her and rocking her a bit, soothingly, "Everything will be okay."

Evander said, "You don't need to tell me, but I love hearing it." He smiled at her, returning her kiss. "I love you, too. And I love you, Cosette."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

lol, whenever I disprove something, I say that "I TOLD you!" I disproved my bias because of Neville!

Okay, so Prudence is going to get the electric chair, as a result of crimes committed by Rita.

Mikey pushed his plate aside, then took another long sip from his glass of water. Sighing softly, he smiled at Angie and said, "Thanks for being so reassuring, Angie. It does make me feel a bit better. And I'll really try my best not to worry too much. I want to enjoy our trip to the fullest!"

Sadie gave him a gentle kiss, then took his hand and started walking toward a rocky cove, where they could climb and find a nice spot to look out over the ocean. Sadie started climbing up some of the rocks, having to take some time because she wasn't the most agile person around. The sea spray was nice combined with the sunlight flooding and warming her skin. Once she reached the top, she laid out on the flat plateau with a sigh of content.

Prudence beamed at Evander and Cosette and said, "This is the most beautiful family I've ever seen, Evander. And I feel very honored to be a part of it." She cuddled close, then giggled as Cosette stuck one of Prudence's fingers in her mouth.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I don't really get that, but okay xD I think my brain is just well and truly fried right now.

Wow.. That's.. Nothing like what I was expecting xD

Angie slowly sipped at the remnants of her wine while he talked, smiling in between. She said, "If you don't think about it at all, then you won't look suspicious and you won't be paranoid all the time, just think of it that way. Then you can really enjoy the trip."

Brandon followed behind her, helping her up before gracefully hopping up the rocks himself in a few easy strides.He seated himself next to her and looked out at the ocean, then closing his eyes to take in the warmth of the sun and the sound of the crashing waves, before he just gave a deep sigh of content.

"You needn't be honoured, you are as beautiful and wonderful as any of us," Evander replied, then leaned in just to murmur to her, "And to me, you are the most beautiful and deserving." He kissed her neck just once before pulling back again so that they could play with Cosette.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

xD awww! I'm sorry!

Yup! :3 of course, it won't really.... kill her... but she will have to leave, by herself.

Mikey got to his feet and went to pay the bill, then smiled and sat down across from Angie once more, reaching out to take her hand. "Now, would you like to get some dessert, or would you like to go sight seeing? Oh, and you're right about not worrying at all."

Sadie smiled and climbed on top of Brandon, giving him a passionate kiss before moving to sit beside him. "Okay," she said, her nervousness seeming to go away at that point. "So let's see... is tonight a surprise besides the changing? Or am I allowed to know what's going on?" She stretched out her legs, allowing them to bathe in the sunlight.

Prudence got up and went to the doors to the back yard, staring at the sunflowers and other varieties of plants that grew out there. She looked somewhat sad as she let her eyes wander from side to side, then glanced back at Evander and Cosette.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

That's okay, I blame 2 hour English papers xD

Mmkay. Sounds interesting. Definitely different :3

Angie looked thoughtful for a moment until an expression that showed a decision had been made flashed across her face for a moment. She said, "I think we should go sightseeing, and get an ice cream from somewhere along the way instead, so long as you like that idea."

"Nope, it's all a secret, I've got it thought out. All I'm saying is, dress up a little, okay?" Brandon said with an excited smile. He had thought a lot of things through about the evening, and he wasn't willing to give too much away. Really, he didn't feel that what he had planned was anything too special or outrageous, but he hoped that she would like it nonetheless. "Let your imagination run wild, because I'm not telling you anything else, apart from that changing you won't be quite so," he paused and moved to hold her face in his hand while he kissed her neck a few times, "Abrupt. I'm going to try and make it as less daunting for you as I can."

Evander knew something was definitely wrong now. Prudence had put a good brave face on before, but there was no denying that something was indeed not right with her. He gently gave Cosette to Blaise and then made his way out to the back garden, wrapping his arms around Prudence from behind. "Please tell me what's wrong. I want to know now, rather than later, when I can't do anything," he said to her softly.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Oh gosh. That sounds terrible!

Yup! I didn't want to make her die permanently, because she's fun. But I did want to give her more to do.

Plus, she might have some interaction with Mikey and Angie later on.

Mikey nodded and said, "That sounds like an awesome idea, Angie. I'll let you lead the way, because you're more familiar with London than I am. But when we get to France, I'm taking you everywhere. I know that place very very well!"

To Sadie, anything would probably be too outrageous, completely insane. She had never been one for being spoiled, as she had tried to prove throughout her pregnancy, and the idea of being spoiled on her birthday was no exception to that. When he mentioned dressing up a bit, she made a face and said, "And I assume I should dress down... under the dress, you know?" She giggled, then let out a soft gasp as Brandon kissed her neck. "That feels great," she murmured, closing her eyes.

Prudence said, "Things have been put in motion that nobody can stop now. I only wonder how much time left we have in this peace." She sighed softly, then turned and kissed Evander. "Please don't ask anything more, okay? You'll find out when the time is right."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Well, it could have been worse. At least I finished it this time! xD

A'ight, cool =D

"Great," Angie chirped, standing up and motioning for him to come as well. She took his hand and then started to lead him out. She looked to see where they were, and then decided on the nearest point of interest for them. She would take him down to the riverside, where they'd see tower bridge and Big Ben and such, and also just a generally beautiful view of the city. Eventually they arrived on the riverbank and she was quite content just to stroll and show him everything as they went by. On the Southbank she pointed out, "Oh, and there's Shakespeare's theatre, the one that burned down and had to be rebuilt."

Brandon smiled and said, "Ah, you know me too well. Definitely," he chuckled softly and kissed her on the neck again, being very gentle and tender. "Just wait until later, then. I promise I'll make it as easy as I can for both of us," he murmured against her skin. He loved to hear her reaction to the things he was doing.

"How can you expect me to stand here and watch when something is very wrong? This isn't you, Prudence, even from this morning, you're acting in a way I've never seen before," Evander said, the anxiety evident on his face. "I fear that the time you say is right may be when it's too late for me."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Yay!!! What was it about?

Yup! And THEN she might die later on. I'm not sure about that.

Mikey placed his arm around Angie's shoulders, the setting of the riverside perfect for a romantic stroll. He looked down at Angie, admiring her as she pointed out different things to him, glancing up and listening intently. When she pointed out Shakespeare's globe theater, he grinned and said, "That's crazy. Although, with a theater made of wood, it's definitely easy to see how it caught fire."

Sadie's whole body seemed to relax with the touch of Brandon's lips, her face becoming tranquil and content. "I do know you very well," she breathed, closing her eyes and leaning forward just a bit. "I love you," she murmured, smiling slightly. "And the way you kiss me." Gently, she reached out and stroked his chest with her fingertips.

Prudence said, "Evander, I don't want to tell you. I can't! Just know that I love you, and trust in that, and trust that no matter what happens... no matter what happens... I have to go." She kissed him, then bounded away, flying through the tree tops.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Well, you do three questions one from each section, though you get a choice of two questions per section. One section is on some poetry we've studied, but we study sixteen in all so you don't know which ones they'll be in the exam. Then another was on a piece of non fiction we've studied, similar kind of thing. And then you get a triplet question, ours was to inform, explain and describe, and we had a choice between writing a letter to a newspaper talking about the benefits of some new facilities for young people, or describe a photo that brings back vivid memories, or imagine one for yourself.

I picked the photograph one and did a little bit of an Atonement inspired piece, I liked it, actually. I mean, a newspaper article or creative writing? No brainer.

O: Die?!

"Yeah, I'd say so, too. At least they rebuilt it, though, it is beautiful in its own way," Angie said, nodding a little bit. She then looked out and sometime later pointed out Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, "And so there's where you go if you're British and you want to spend your time lying to people and earning big money for it." She wasn't a big fan of politics, clearly.

Brandon kissed her again and playfully murmured, "I love you more," and then purred a little bit at the touch of her fingertips against his skin, the warmth of her hand that he wanted to savour while he could. He gently caressed her cheek a little bit before pulling back an inch or so to let his breath tickle her skin.

Evander stood dumbstruck for a moment when she bolted away, not quite sure he was really seeing what had just happened. She had left him, without telling him where she was going, or why, or if she'd come back-- and he had a terrible feeling in the pit of his stomach that she wouldn't. His hands shook with.. Anger? Frustration? Being upset? All of the above, he just didn't know what to do.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Creative writing ftw!!!

Possibly. It'll probably be after she sees Evander one last time or something, later on.

Mikey chuckled and said, "I take it you don't particularly like politicians and politics in general?" He didn't know if he could blame her for it, really. Politics was the reason he'd been in battle, after all. But then again, sometimes politics kept things orderly-- sometimes, of course. "Well, I'm glad I'm not a politician then!"

Sadie smirked and said, "Oh, I don't know about that, Brandon." When he pulled away and breathed on her skin, a look of slight frustration crossed her face. "You're so mean to me sometimes, Brandon," she murmured. "You big tease." She kept tracing her fingers on his chest, of course, trying to think of a way to one up him.

Prudence came back about half an hour later, a tired look on her face, her clothes dirty and wrinkled. She walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table silently, staring blankly ahead at the wall. There was no expression on her face, no sign of movement except when her mouth tightened into a thin line.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Definitely. But I guess I wouldn't be saying that if it weren't for this site, actually.

First Catherine cheating on him, the Prudence dying. Poor Evander xD

"No, not particularly," Angie said. "I know that it's an important job, and a hard one at that, but I really don't think that the best people are there to do it sometimes. And, definitely, I don't think I'd like you nearly as much if you were a politician. But if you were a politician you'd be nothing like you are right now, that's probably why."

"I do," Brandon said bluntly with a chuckle, and then smirked a bit at her frustration. "I'm saving it all for later, you see, darling," he murmured in reply, kissing her one more time before pulling away completely.

Thank God. She did come back. He heard her from the living room-- in her tiredness, she was a little less graceful than usual it seemed, enough so for him to hear her return. He quietly left the room and made his way to the kitchen without speaking a word. He watched her with a hurt look, she looked like she'd been through the wars. He didn't quite know what to say, either, so he just waited for a moment to gather his thoughts. He had so much he wanted to ask her, but he knew that she wouldn't answer any of it.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

xD So Tamatalk DOES have an actual benefit! Woo!

I know D: That's part of why I'm simply toying with the idea.

"That's very true. I did study to be a lawyer at one point, but that was mostly because my parents wanted me to," Mikey told her, moving his arm from around her shoulders and taking her hand in his. "But I'm very glad that I took the path that I did." He smiled at her before kissing her cheek lovingly, trying to show her that he meant what he said.

Sadie playfully pouted and said, "Fine, you big meanie. I guess I'll have to step up my game!" She scooted forward and peered down, noting that the water was very deep at the bottom of the plateau. So, she got to her feet and slid out of her swimsuit, being very certain that Brandon saw her. The, she jumped into the water, laughing with delight.

Prudence suddenly rested her head on the table, and promptly burst into tears, her shoulders shaking violently. Now, Prudence never usually cried over anything, so this was a very strange occurrence indeed. Afraid of making Evander more upset, she didn't dare to look at him or address him, her pride also keeping her from doing so.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

It has in that respect, actually xD

What will be will be; it's up to you :3

"I can't see you as a lawyer. Only because you just don't seem the kind of guy who'd be passionate about that. I'm sure you could be if you tried, I just don't think it's a real Mikey job," Angie said thoughtfully, squeezing his hand gently when he took hers. "And I'm glad, too, so long as you're happy, then I'm so thankful that your path lead you to me."

Brandon looked mildly shocked by Sadie's actions. He looked from her swimsuit to where she had dived in, back and forth a few times, before he stood up himself. Murmuring, "Two can play at that game," he slipped his trunks off and then gracefully dived in, and then set about on locating Sadie.

Evander felt like a hand had closed tightly around his heart for a moment, for he felt a great pain in his chest at the sight of the sobbing Prudence in front of him. He stood immobile for a moment before he simply went over and took her into his arms lovingly, not saying a word, just holding her to comfort her. He shushed her gently and just held her close.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

I agree with you! it's just very surprising xD

I know... which is why I'm very confuzzled about things

Mikey laughed and said, "Yeah, I don't know if I'd want to dress in a business suit every single day. Plus, trying people for crimes... I don't know if I'd have to will to do that, honestly." He chuckled, then looked at the scenery once more. "So, now where do you think we should go?"

Sadie prided herself in being a relatively fast swimmer, and was up ahead of Brandon. She was heading back to the shore, where they'd left their picnic materials. She looked behind her and smirked, glad to see that she was so far ahead. Of course, she didn't take into account Brandon's strength and agility, and that minor oversight was probably the reason why she'd lose.

Prudence finally stopped crying, but she didn't move a muscle. She simply sat there in Evander's arms, the desire to move or explain anything completely gone. To her, hurting Evander with what she would have to say was out of the question. And she didn't want him to try and stop something that just couldn't be controlled.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Yeah. The other thing it is is awkward. "Why do you like creative writing so much and why are you so good at it?" "Err... Can't say I'm too sure" xD

Oh, speaking of which I'm no longer confuzzled, I totally get the whole, "I told you!" thing :3

"I don't imagine you wanting to argue with anybody, or be responsible for another person's fate for years to come.. Or, even worse, defending a guilty criminal.. I don't know how anybody can do that," Angie said. She then asked him, "Well, is there anywhere particular in London that you've always wanted to see?"

Brandon let her go ahead for some time, before he stealthily swam along and, without making a splash or a sound, found his way around her, then appeared up in front of her, pulling her into his arms in a big bear hug. "Gotcha," he exclaimed triumphantly, grinning.

"Prudence," Evander murmured, "Isn't there anything I can do to help?" She didn't have to tell him what was happening, but he wondered if maybe there wasn't anything that he could involve himself in, even to take away her pain for a single second.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Yeah. I mean, I don't think I'd tell people that I'm a roleplayer on a tamagotchi site. That's just... yeah xD

YAY! You get itttt!!!!

Mikey nodded in agreement and said, "Especially if there are kids involved. That would just make it harder for me to deal with, you know?" Upon being asked where he'd like to go, he shrugged and said, "I don't think I have a real preference. Although, I would like to walk by Buckingham palace and see the guards. I mean, I was in the military and all that, but their job just seems... more difficult, in a way."

Sadie pouted when Brandon pulled her into his arms and said, "Darnit! You're too fast of a swimmer for me!" But then she hugged him back and kissed at his neck a couple times. "Still, you deserved to chase me after being so mean to me earlier! Leaving me in suspense like that!" She nibbled at his sensitive spot lightly, a smirk coming to her face.

Prudence whispered, "Just... hold me, Evander. Please." She turned to face him, burying herself in his arms, her expression scarily calm. She didn't want her time with him to be spent crying, sobbing, and fretting. All she wanted was to be with him.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

No, exactly. I told my friend I creative write online, because she thought it was awesome, but when she was like, "What website?" I didn't quite know what to say xD

"Sure, we'll have to get the Underground. So definitely hold my hand. Oh, and 'mind the gap' when we're getting on, of course," Angie chuckled, leading him in the direction of the nearest station. She checked the map, which looked like an endless mess of coloured spaghetti-- thank goodness she was accustomed to it-- and then found the nearest station to St. James' Park, and the line they needed to take. She gripped his hand tightly as she lead him through the tunnel, and all the way through the ride, and again until they were up and out at the top of the stairs of the station, when she loosened her grip a little bit. She then started leading him this was and that through the park, and pointed it out in the distance. "So here's where they all run at the end of the London marathon, and the palace is just up here."

"Well, you might stand a bit more of a chance in times to come. Maybe. But for today, absolutely not," Brandon replied with a chuckle. He then said, "I wasn't intending to be mean, you know. I would never do that. It's just that I thought maybe we should wait for later, considering we're at the beach right now. You get arrested for that kind of thing," he laughed.

Evander completely enveloped her in his arms, just holding her close like she'd ask, murmuring words of comfort in her ear. He hated seeing her this way, especially when there was nothing he could do to help her.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

hahaha xD awkward moments

Mikey followed Angie obediently, keeping very close to her when she led him down through the tunnels, and even during the ride. Of course, he acted like a gentleman should, not touching her in a risque manner because he didn't want to get angry glares from people. Once they left, Mikey's eyes followed the ways that Angie directed them, smiling slightly. "Wow, it's beautiful," he remarked.

Sadie stuck her tongue out at him, then cuddled close and took in more of the sunshine. "Mmm... Brandon, I love it when you hold me close," Sadie told him, smiling up at him. "Promise you'll do it often, okay?" She kissed his cheek gently, the rowdiness gone from her voice.

Prudence eventually pulled herself from his arms and whispered, "I'm always going to love you. Don't you ever forget that. I want you to always remember that, even when times are darkest. And just... find the strength in yourself, no matter what."
