Ooc:// Sorry, I must have deleted that part or something. I think it sounds really cool, but I don't have the time to search for pictures, and nothing comes to mind.

"Neither do I," Alyss said, glad of Griffin's touch.

Maya looked behind them. Laia was only a few feet behind, looking downcast. "She's right there." Maya raised her voice. "Laia! Come on over here!" she called.

Laia looked up in surprise, but quickened her pace, and soon was walking alongside them.

Katherine stuck her tongue out at him. "Knew it," she said.

Aaron returned the gesture, sticking his tongue out as well.

Ooc:// Thats alright. I can look for them.

Bic:// Griffin nodded his agreement. He looked up at the darkening sky, dark gray clouds blocking off any blue. "It's too early for it to get dark," he said bitterly, knowing what the alternative was.

Haley sniffed at the air. "Smells like rain," she said happily, the prospect of a storm not dampening her mood in the least, but actually almost cheering her up.

Rina cleared her throat and finally said, "You're name is Hiro, right?" She knew all of the wolves' names, but she didn't want to come right out and declare that fact.

"Where have you been?" Clair asked Laia curiously.

Dorian caught the scent of the weather on the air and glanced at the sky. "Smells like we're in for a down pour."

Jack shrugged. "A little rain never hurt anyone," he said.

"Just because I accussed you two of being children, doesn't mean you have to act like it," Rose said with a chuckle.

"I like the rain, too," Alyss said, her solemn expression changing into an almost cheery one. "It's so pretty and fun to walk in."

Hiro nodded, and replied in the same gruff voice. "Yeah, it is." He acted as if he wasn't in the mood for conversation or company, though he was actually reveling in it.

"Only a little behind. I was walking, not running," Laia explained, her voice soft and a but husky, like it normally was.

Katherine subtly stepped on his foot, targeting near the ankle. She knew from experience that's were it hurt him the most.

"Hey!" Aaron said in surprise, looking down. "Rose, she stepped on my foot!" he complained.

"Do you really believe I would step on his foot? I'm not that immature," Katherine said, rolling her eyes. "He's probably making stuff up again."

Aaron glared at her sulkily.

"No way, Griff," Alyss said, grinning in a teasing way. "I'm making sure you stay outside with me." She gripped his harm to emphasis her point, her eyes flashing with unspoken laughter.

"Name's Hiro," the lycanthrope replied, staring at the ground. A few drops of rain splattered as he looked, and her groaned.

"You have to learn to slow down!" Laia retorted, running. Normally, she didn't retort, speak back, etcetera. Today had been...different for her though.

Maya gave a light laugh, running after the two of them.

Aaron gripped her arm sarcastically, as if proving Rose would have to actually come back and seperate them. A grin lingered on his face, though.

"You heard the driver," Katherine said. "Let go, before I push you out of the car myself. And Rose will not stop before I do it."

"Stay on the ground and you'll only get more wet," Alyss pointed out, a light laugh accompanying her words. She offered her hand as a way to help either him or Haley up.

Laia seemed to pick up on Clair's thoughts, and immediatly became closed and silent again.

Maya couldn't help but liking Laia, even if Clair was her friend. She understood why Clair has responded the way she did, but it wasn't something Maya would have done herself...not even close.

Hiro shook his head, amazed he was actually holding this conversation. She wasn't even part of a pack! Much less important! He didn't speak his thoughts though, only continued responding. "Not really. I prefer to stay warm and dry. Besides, rain is also made up of alot of dust. Its not like I enjoy standing in a shower of wet dust."

Aaron punched her arm lightly in a form of a retort, his scowl belayed by a flicker of a grin.

Katherine wasted no time before returning the punch, her's a bit mroe forceful.

Alyss couldn't help but laughing, even though she was sure to hate the mud later on. For now, it was slick and smooth against her skin, and not at all irritating. She threw her own handful of mud, targeting Haley as mud splattered against her skin. "Ooh, bad move, Haley!" she laughed.

Maya followed Dorian without speaking for once. It seemed like the rain had washed away the words for the moment, though they were sure to return soon.

Laia stayed near the back; she knew she was the "weak link" in the pack, and she should go in last, after everyone else had gotten inside. But that didn't mean she had to enjoy it.

"It's only small dust particles," Hiro replied, shrugging his shoulders as if that explained everything. He was secretly wondering why he was conversing with Rina; she was a loner...besides, this was the longest, friendly conversation he had ever held for a while.

Fen didn't mind the rain; it matched his mood in mroe ways than one. But some of the pack was sure to hate every last drop, so he quickened the pace. He was satisfied to see the building up ahead, not to far.

Aaron, while he could be a clown at times, still remained polite surprisingly. "Thanks for the ride!" he called over his shoulder, running towards his door. He held the bag over his head to shield his hair from the rain, and took out his key...only to find it wasn't there. "Dang it!" he scowled, kicking the door. He ran back to the car.

"You can stay at my house," Katherine said. Aaron often forgot his key; which meant he usually ended up coming home with her after school.

Alyss stood up, still laughing lightly. "We...should...probably...catch up..now," she gasped, having to speak in between hiccups.

Taichi remained silent; she often let Daniel handle these situations, though she was capable of doing so herself.

Laia decided to head inside, and sidled in behind Maya and Jack.

"They're coming," Fen assured her; she had probably heard about the fight.

Hiro paused. "We'll be there really soon. Are you nervous?" He was a bit surprised; he often wasn't concerned about others.

"Thanks, Rose," Katherine said, grinning. Her parents both worked, so she was left to herself often. That meant she was free to spend the afternoon somewhere without fear or scolding. Besides, they wouldn't mind anyways.

Aaron's parents were actually out of town...he still had a week to go before they came back. "Yeah, thanks," he chimed in.
