Bah. Mac's always releasing new stuff. ALWAYS.

I want to see the whole world, but i'd like to start in Europe. more people speak English there, you see. Plus, you're there!

They are fools! They won't understand until it's too late, and they butcher the accent when it matters most!

*dreamy eyes* It will be the bestest day ever!

Sadie stuck her tongue out at Brandon, then watched as Cosette crawled around, trying to get Sadie's feet, which were moving under the covers. When she thought she had them, she would try to put the foot (with the cover on it) in her mouth-- but Sadie was always a little bit faster, and would pull away quickly. Cosette laughed with delight, at one point falling onto her side because she was laughing so much. it was definitely adorable.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Yeah. Their stuff is still cool. Their computers just last forever because of how quickly they update etc. etc. I love Apple xD

That's a good, point- I'd never thought of it that way, but it's very true. And, of course, yes, I'll be here. Come on Friday and we can celebrate the wedding! I'm making Union Jack cupcakes, I think :3

Exactly. Imagine; impressionist, biggest performance of their life, attempts the accent the way they think it sounds... Bottles are thrown at them. And I say, "I warned you!"

It sure will <3

Brandon watched Cosette in adoration and amusement. Babies were so cute. He had always loved children, probably due to the fact that he'd always been used to looking after his younger brothers and sisters, and then helping with Emmeline's as well, whenever he visited her. But following that, he had fallen out of touch, until Ysi had been left on their doorstop five years ago, just a few weeks old. The others had been reluctant about it, and so he'd taken it upon himself to look after her. And while it had made him happy, in some ways it reminded him of how he could never be this way without a child of his own. Until the day that he found out that Sadie was having a baby, and then everything changed, and he'd never been happier or felt luckier. He smiled to himself as he thought about it, and then leaned forward to tickle Cosette's stomach, causing her to giggle wildly, "Oh, what are we going to do with you?" he chuckled, "You are a silly billy."

 

[Swan_Song]

Meh. I'm a PC fan myself. although macs are better for music.

Cupcakes! I'm so there! Although, in a couple years, I actually might be in England to study abroad

And there will be booing, and possibly blood and tears. And it will be a sad sad day!

Oh my gosh, I love babies so stinking much!!! The youth leaders daughter at my church is a good example. I was feeding her pieces of a doughnut, and she was so happy.

Cosette crawled into Brandon's lap and squealed happily, chewing on a bit of his shirt with her tiny little teeth. She was a drooly mess, but she didn't care, she was having fun. Sadie watched Brandon and Cosette affectionately, then laid on the bed with a yawn. The day had been full of excitement, and now she needed to rest. "As much fun as this is, mama bear is getting very tried, and I know Cosette will be very cranky if she doesn't go to sleep..." Cosette looked at her as if to say, "Who, me? No!"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Aw, but Macs are just so pretty! :L I have no issues with PC whatsoever- they're great. I mean, up until September last year, it's all I used. But for what I want out of a computer, Mac is best. Plus, the PC downstairs was already slow, but when you have a computer that takes literally twenty seconds to start up and you're already browsing the internet, waiting for it feels like an eternity xD

Yeah, but Will and Kate won't be getting married then, will they? Therefore no Union Jack cupcakes! Maybe Price Harry will be, I suppose, though I don't actually know if he has a girlfriend anyway, but it's not the same 'cause he'll never be king, nor is he as lovely on the eyes as William :3

It depends on who it is. Some people I know who think they're funny enough to be impressionists would totally deserve it.

Well, I'll tell you what, my cousin said my name for the first time last weekend! I was thrilled. She struggled at first, I was a whole manner of things beginning with "Ta", and then it came out and I was so happy. And we took her out the other day, and she was fascinated by my chewing gum. She couldn't see it, so she started chewing on nothing because she thought that's what I was doing.

Brandon eventually managed to peel Cosette away from his shirt, and then he made a spot for her between him and Sadie, lying on his side. "I think sleep would be a very good idea," he said softly, to which Cosette seemed to understand, for she pulled a face up at him as he laid her down, "Yes, I'm afraid that means you, too, little one. There're plenty of hours in the day tomorrow, and the day after that and then every day after to have some more fun." He planted a kiss on the baby's forehead, then leaned over to give Sadie a quick, gentle kiss and whispered, "Good night, love."

 

[Swan_Song]

Macs are pretty. Very pretty. But PCs are so easy to use.

B-but... I'll be there! Which should be a celebration!!

Think being the key word??? :3 *I'm playing devil's advocate*

AWW!!! Those stories just made my day! you don't even know!!!

Sadie kissed him in return. then brushed her fingers along his arm lovingly. "Good night Brandon. Goodnight Cosette. I love you both very much." She smiled adoringly at Brandon, then let Cosette cuddle close to her. Cosette tried to avoid sleep, but eventually her eyelids drooped to a close, and she slept soundly in between her parents. Sadie stayed awake for a little while longer, reflecting on everything. It was all so wonderful, and even when bad things happened, she still loved her life.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Macs are easy to use as well, you know. Even easier, I think, because everything you need is right there at the bottom of your screen. It's just because everyone is used to the PC format that they think Macs are confusing

Very true! Stars and stripes cupcakes may be more appropriate if we're sticking with the flag theme.

Absolutely (;

Cute, right? I'm glad you enjoyed them!

Brandon tugged the duvet upwards a little bit and settled comfortably next to his two favourite girls in the whole universe. He was awake for quite a long time after they'd all fallen asleep, feeling very reflective and thinking about everything that had happened that day, and a lot about the past, too. He imagined that he must be feeling this way because all in one day the man who'd taken him in since he'd come to America all those years ago had left to go to Asia, he had found out that he was having another baby, Sadie had been changed, and they were getting married. Things really couldn't be more wonderful; everyone that he loved was happy, and he was happy, too beyond belief. He fell asleep eventually, when all the reflection had made his eyelids heavy.

-skip?-

 

[Swan_Song]

XD

I haven't been nearly as active on here as I would like to be. DX

I sorry for not being here. How have you been lately?

Prudence woke up on the plane after a very long flight, looking tired and disheveled. She sat up slightly, stretching her arms and legs luxuriously. After a yawn and a sigh, she looked over at Evander. "Love, I believe we're here," she said, staring down at the rice patties below. It was strange, being back after such a long absence. So much had changed, and yet... some things hadn't ever evolved from their roots, thousands of years ago. There was the beautiful landscape, the people she was familiar with, the language she knew by heart.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Well, that's okay- I can tell you're very busy, what with Princess and the Pea, open mic evenings, your new role in Rocky Horror, and that you have a lovely boyfriend. Besides, I'm not on much anymore except for late at night, usually, when I've done sufficient revision- the time is coming, and I guess I have to knuckle down!

Yeah, busy. Crazily so. I have a lot of work to do, because things are really kicking off soon! Still, I'll just keep a brave face and hope that all of the exams go okay from now until mid-June time :3

How about yourself?

Evander nodded, wide awake, and looking out of the window at their new home. From a distance he probably looked apprehensive, but he was more thoughtful than anything else. Of course he'd thought of everyone in the US, and how he'd miss them all. But he was willing to trade anything to be with Prudence. Besides, it was an adventure, something he was enjoying growing accustomed to since he'd met Prudence; wild, fun, amazing, beautiful, perfect Prudence. He couldn't get over the fact that she was really still here. "I definitely am awake, right?" he chuckled. "I mean, going from thinking I'd never see you again to this is a long shot."

So, yeah, by the way, I always forget to mention how I find your choice of names amusing. Lucy, Sadie, Prudence... Not like they're all from songs by a rather famous band or anything... :3

 

[Swan_Song]

Best of luck, girl! I'm sure you'll beast all of your exams and such! Just think, all the work will pay off come summertime! And life will be beautiful!

Things have been getting pretty crazy. Opening night is coming up, not to mention all the set building I have to help with, and memorizing my calls. I'm starting to get anxious.

Prudence grinned at him and said, "This is real. Very strange, and very different, but real. It doesn't feel real though, does it? I honestly though I would wake up and be in our bed at home or something." She examined his face, trying to keep herself looking guarded so that she wouldn't sway his emotions one way or the other. He seemed to be okay, if not a bit... apprehensive. She assumed that would go away the more he got used to their new life. "How did you sleep, darling?" She brushed his dark hair out of his face, trying not to smile at how cute he looked when he had just woke up.

Hahaha! I got my influence from Across the Universe.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I sure hope so. If the marks I got back for my other exams and coursework back are anything to go by, I think things will be okay

Speaking of which, guess who got freaking full marks for their latin guitar instrumental and 28/30 marks for my song for music class?! :3

It'll all be amazing when it happens, though! You can do it! It's so exciting, all these shows.

"No... Absolutely none of it feels real. I'm glad, though. Especially because I couldn't face waking up at home in bed alone, thinking I'd never get a chance to wake up next to you ever again," Evander replied, cracking a gentle smile and planting an affectionate kiss on her forehead. He nodded at her question and said, "Yes, thank you, Very well, actually. How about you, love?"

I thought so :3

 

[Swan_Song]

Exactly. You just gotta stay positive!

NO WAY!!!! That's AWESOME!!!! =D I'm so proud of you!

I hope I can. There's just so much going on. Ah well. It's flying by, honestly.

Prudence kissed his cheek and smiled at him adoringly, moving so she could cuddle close to him before the landing began. "Well, I honestly only slept an hour or so, because I was so... anxious, I guess. Maybe even excited. But I really get by on very little sleep anyway, so I'm fine. What sleep I did get, though, was very peaceful." The plane landed in the middle of a rice paddy, shaking as the life died from the engine. Prudence climbed out of the plain and looked around at the distance they would travel on foot until they reached Beijing.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I'm certainly trying to, anyway. It's all you can do, there's no use getting worked up and stressed about it!

Thank you. I was totally shocked when he told me. I wasn't expecting anything quite so good. It's kind of given me some faith in my musical ability, you know?

Well, break a leg and all! I know you'll do just fine <3

"Well, I'm glad you got some sleep, anyway. But I understand your anxiousness. I guess coming here after all this time would be difficult what with it being so rushed and under such circumstances, but with just enough time to form preconceptions.." Evander said thoughtfully. He gazed out of the window for a moment longer before getting up from his seat and joining her but getting off the plane, carrying the bags containing the few sentimental things they had with them along with him. Stepping down onto solid, material ground gave a blossoming sense of realism, as though up until that point it could only be real until one truly felt it. But now, he felt Chinese soil beneath his feet and all at one the realisation that this was really it dawned upon him.

 

[Swan_Song]

Yay, I can finally post on here again!!!

How have things been going for you?

Prudence felt numb at the whole realization that she was home, back in the place that she had tried so desperately to escape from. It was definitely strange, and she knew she would probably see some of her old... associates. That's what she would call them. She didn't know if she had the right to call the ancient brethren friends anymore, seeing as she hadn't spoken with them in a long time. Hundreds of years, at the least. She looked over at Evander and gave him a smile, before grabbing her backpack and slipping it onto her shoulders. "Well, it looks like our new life begins right here."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Yay!!

Busy, but things are not as stressful as I thought they would be, actually. I'm feeling confident about my exams, in actual fact. I'm surprised that I thought I wouldn't be, actually, I'm pretty calm when it comes to exams. It's just because there's so many in one go, and they're so important this time around, you know? Still, I'mma go out and kill it <

How about yourself?

"I'll just say I'm sort of terrified- I have almost no inclination of anything Chinese whatsoever-, but I'm also really, really excited about it," Evander said, taking a look around and carrying the rest of the bags, one on his back, and a couple in his hands, no real weight to him at all. "So, where are we heading, exactly?"

 

[Swan_Song]

Yay! You go and destroy it-- I have a feeling you will, really. I can just kind of... tell. I have a strong sense of intuition!

Well, things are getting stressful. This week is the last week for my assistant directing, and then I only have a week until Rocky Horror. AHHH!

"It's hard to learn the language, I will warn you now. But if you stick with me, you'll be just fine. Besides, I'm sure the others will want to help you too. They'll be pleased I found someone to make my "mate" as they will call you." She chuckled slightly, then took one of the bags from his hands. "Now, we're heading east, towards Beijing. That's where we'll meet up with some of my old acquaintances, who are going to help us find a place to live, as well as employment."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Thank you. I certainly hope so. I just can't believe that the class of '06 is coming to an end! In less than two weeks, we'll be causing havoc as we celebrate our last official day before exam leave! What will I do without my hunky, adorable tutor next year, Becca?!

Ah! That's still awesome, though! The best of luck with everything! <3

"I can imagine. But, if it's any consolation, I did/i] live in Japan for a long time and I learned to speak and write their language, so the structure of the characters and alphabet isn't going to be as difficult to pick up," Evander replied. Not many people knew that about him, but in fact Japan had been one of his favourite places that he'd ever been to, which was why he'd spent so much time there. "Okay, well, lead the way, then, I suppose."

 

[Swan_Song]

OH NO! Well, you have to try and find another hunky tutor, of course!!! And if you can't, find a hunky boy in general!

Thanks! I'm so excited for the shows, and then Rocky Horror rehearsal!

"I never knew that! You'll have to tell me about your adventures sometime, darling," she said as she walked ahead of him to lead the way. "We look pretty nice, so I'm hoping someone decent will stop and let us ride with them. We've hit morning work traffic, after all, and we just need to be dropped off at the city limits. We can walk from there and then get a taxi if need be. Although... I don't think we'll be completely drained of our energy just by walking." She would occasionally wave at a passing car, trying to get their attention. She hoped they would get a ride soon.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Teachers as hunky as Mr. Harrison don't grow on trees! He really is the hottest teacher in the school. Still at least from next year, it won't be quite as weird to say that he's hot because I won't be seeing him all the time as my tutor. I'm still sad about it, though. I'm sad about all of it... Except burning my uniform, my English anthology, my music set pieces score, my PSRE book... xD

I bet! It's going to be awesome

"Oh, they're not much to speak of, but I did have a great time, nonetheless," Evander said, waving dismissively. It didn't matter what it was about, even if it was not self centred in anyway, he didn't like talking about himself much. He nodded and joined in waving up a car from the side of the road, though without much success at first. Meanwhile he took in his surroundings. In ways it wasn't dissimilar to Japan, but Japan felt so long ago that the place still felt entirely new and alien to him, somehow.

 

[Swan_Song]

Book burning is always a load of fun!

I get $200 for my Role in Rocky horror. Not too shabby at all!

Prudence finally managed to stop a car that a businessman was driving, and so they had easy access to the city. Prudence made idle conversation with him, explaining where they were from and what they were doing in Asia. Her work had been transferred, blah blah blah, they ended up back in China. She explained that they met through a mutual friend, and how they hadn't married yet. When they reached the city, Prudence climbed out of the car, carrying two of the suitcases.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Oh, it's going to be amazing <3 So much paper is piling up and ready for it! XD

Wow, that's great! My big sis, flying high!

Evander sat and eventually tuned himself out of the conversation, having previously concentrated too hard on it, but to no avail, understanding none of it whatsoever. It was daunting to be thrown into it like this, not knowing a thing about the place or its language, but he knew Prudence would take care of him regardless, and so his nerves lessened. He thanked the driver- something he did know how to say-, before hopping out of the car with Prudence, taking the rest of the suitcases and bags and following her like an obedient puppy, or something like that.
