She smiled and said,"Thanks..."
She laughed slightly and said,"I was too scared as a child. My brother was always the one protecting me from the bullies, so I never really learned how to protect myself. Besides, they were using magic, so I was at a complete loss there. I hadn't been to school yet." She shrugged and said,"So I vowed to protect those who are bullied, and I learned to be pretty good with a wand."
She laughed as Max turned around and ran towards them all, chasing Barker. When Scarlet ended up in the water, she gasped, and called,"Are you alright?" Max skidded to a halt just beside her, narrowly avoiding plunging into the icy water himself. He stood there and waited, panting. Faith offered Scarlet her hand. "Here, let me help you."

"My brother's always sorted people out for me, too, but he got busy and stuff, and always thought of me as his 'little sister', even though he's only a year older. Of course, that means I couldn't hang around him, because that wouldn't have been cool," Scarlet giggled at the last bit, and carried on. "So I had to look after myself a fair bit."
Barker whined at Max, bouncing about in the water, as if to say, "Come in, you big mirror-image, help me soak my owner. It's a game, no matter what she says."
Scarlet sat up, taking off her wet cap to reveal dripping hair. She took off her soaking shirt, squeezed the water out and tossed it at the bank, before looking from Faith to her outstretched hand. She suddenly spluttered with laughter, saying between giggles, "Merlin, you look like you're trying SO hard not to pee yourself laughing. Go on, laugh. It's funny, innit?"
Scarlet grinned, and lay on her back in the water, now used to the coolness, unaware that she was being watched intently by her confused dog.

She laughed a little when she mentioned the cool thing. "My brother really doesn't care about looking 'cool'. He just tries to help people out all the time..."
Faith laughed and said,"It is, but it's not polite to laugh," she managed between laughs. Max looked at Barker and had a sudden thought. He got to his feet and ran into Faith's knees, sending her flying in next to Scarlet. She sat up and coughed a little, laughing so hard her eyes were closed. Max had landed beside her, and now he was trying to play with Barker.
Faith giggled and said,"Well, I guess we're even now." She laid back beside her, feeling the coolness. She was soaked, but it felt pretty good.

Minding his own business, Kai had been enjoying a stroll down to the Chute D'Eau. His green eyes downcast to watch where he was stepping. Lilth muscular form maneuvering down there with ease. He looked up quickley however as he heard splashing. One delicate eyebrow raised, much like his sister's does. He crept down further to see what was going on. When he saw one girl from his year, and another in the year above. He parted his peach lips, the lower one fuller and darker in colour the the upper one.
"What..a swimming party without me?" He said, his voice rising over the sound of their splashing. He pretended to look hurt, then a smile came over his face. His hands shoved in his jean pockets. Black jeans adorned his legs. Pantlegs falling down past his black and white shoes to scuff on the ground. A white dress shirt, with a red and silver tie was undone and hung from his neck. Collar flipped up so that it nearly touched his blonde shag. His dress shirts buttons were undone, so that his white tank shirt underneth was showing. He sat on the ground near them and shook his head laughing.
"You really should have invited me too" He didn't know these girls. However, he really was not a shy guy. He treated most people as if he already knew them. [/size]

Faith looked up as a voice sounded, spotting a male from her own year. She had seen him around the school, but that was about it. They'd never actually met. She smiled and said,"We were just about to send Max here with an invitation..."
As if on cue, Max had launched himself out of the water and was aimed directly for his new target: Kai. His tongue hung out of his mouth, and he tried to land on him and lick his face.
Faith giggled slightly and said,"Sorry, he likes new people... I'm Faith, by the way. Faith Halliwell." She had sat up a minute ago, at the sound of his voice, and she smiled up at him.
{{I say you can reply again, then we'll probably have to wait for Katie, that way we'll have some sort of an order going on...}}

He laughed as he fell backwards, the dogs paws on his chest. As 'Max' started to leave his slobber all over Kai's face. He ruffled the dogs fur around his shoulders, then sat up. The dog's paws slipping off as Kai sat. He ran a hand through his blond locks then looked at Faith. He smiled "I'm Kai Soudai" He nodded and pretended to tip a hat from his head. Even though he wasn't wearing one.
Green eyes were watching the two silently, as he waited for the other girl to say something. Anything. His knees were bent, and the palms of his hands supporting most of his weight behind him. It was quite nice out here, and he was glad he had stumbled upon these two. Hey if there was anything Kai liked better then animals and nature, it was girls.
O.o.c// I'm sorry. That was a horribly short post. Gah! -hits head on keyboard-

"Well, my brother can be a selfish bugger sometimes. Which is probably one of the reasons that he's a Lioano... " Scarlet added, grinning.
"I'm sorry!" Scarlet spluttered, "I'm laughing!" She lay her head back in the water and positively howled as Faith came into the shallow water next to her. Barker pawed at his owner, his huge claws tangling up in her hair. "Gerroff..." She shoved at him, and he changed his mind about her and darted after Max.
Scarlet pulled herself up so that she was still in a lying position, but propped up on her elbows at the new voice. One eyebrow was raised, and she asked, "You are?" Her question was abruptly answered, as he replied, "Kai Soudai."
"Oh, hi. I'm Scarlet McElroy," her Irish accent was thick and clear.
Barker's head snapped around at the boy's voice, and he stood still for a second, chocolate eyes questioning, head on one side. Then he began to move toward the guy, and Scarlet said sharply, "Bark- BARKER!"
Of course, the stupid dog didn't listen, and bounded toward Kai anyway, after his new friend, Max. She gave up, and lay her head back in the water.

She smiled and said,"It's a pleasure to meet you, Kai." She looked at Max and said,"Sorry about him, he likes new people..." She tried to get up, but she slipped and fell again, landing hard on the river bottom. She groaned and found herself laughing a little.
She looked over at Scarlet and grinned. It was just typical of her to fall into a river and get all soaked. She looked back up at Kai. "So how long have you been here, Kai?"

Kai flicked out his wand and murmmered something. Two dog treats lay in his hand. He had bugged his father to kingdom come to tell him that spell. You don't learn it at school. Kai loved animals just as much as his sister. He placed the dog treats, one in front of both dogs. Then turned his green eyed gaze back to Scarlet and Faith.
"Nice to meet you Scarlet and Faith," he said, nodding his blonde head,"I have been here since my first year" He said, smiling softly. He stood up and walked over to them, leaning down with both hands stretched out to them. "Want a hand up and out? Or are you going to stay in there all day?" He said, raising one of his eyebrows. His boyish smile still on his face. [/size]

Scarlet returned Faith's grin as the fifth year slipped back into the water again, but her expression turned to curiosity when the boy told her that he had been there since first year; her brother, sister and she herself had, as well. It was curious that she hadn't met this guy before.
Barker sniffed at his treat, before licking it up hungrily, and eying Max's.
Scarlet looked up at him, eyebrows raised, and said, "Well, I only just fell in, but it's a little... cold." She took his hand, pulling herself up with it before releasing it gently. "Thanks." She walked past him, picking up her blanket and spreading it out, sitting on it.

Max immediately switched tactics and headed straight for the dog treat. Faith laughed, and looked up at the boy as he stood up.
"Since your first year? Wow. I just transfered this year." She placed her hand in his, managing to pull herself up without falling, though she did slip again. She caught herself and smiled at him, releasing his hand before she went to sit beside Scarlet. "What house are you in, Kai?"

He nodded in welcome, and pulled his hand closer to him as Faith tripped a little. As she went and sat beside Scarlet. He turned to face them, green eyes watching them observingly. He sat down in front of them in the grass. His legs crossed, elbows on his knees, chin in his hands. Blonde hair falling into his eyes. "Well, I am in Lioano. What about you guys?" He said softly, the sound pronounciating off his soft lips.
o.o.c// Bleh! So soso sosososo Short! Gah! [/size]

Scarlet glanced at Faith, and said, "Really? Transfered?"
She pulled her legs up toward her, wrapping her arms around them and replied, "I'm in Intermise."
{THAT is why I was waiting for someone else to post! xD}
