Shadows of the Heart (Reira, Closed)

[Reira]

"Thanks. That was worth 3 points." He said to her in a whisper. He seemed to be snickering, at least she knew he was enjoying himself. She wondered if people thought that the way she was acting was childish and immature, then again, she really didn't care what people thought of her, their opinions were no business of hers. Besides, you can't spend your whole life without some sort of humour.

The movie finally ended. The credits rolled and the lights blinked on, brightening the darkened theatre. Overall, Reira thought the movie was a little dissapointing. It turned out to be more of a comedy then anything and all her stifled laughter had caused the other people situated around her to grunt in annoyance. This always happened when she watched a scary movie. You'd think she'd give up by now, but nope.

"So what did you think of the movie?" she asked Alex, waiting for the people to hurry up and shuffle out of the allies. "I thought it was funny, that girl was very predictable --- Oh! Too bad those couples stopped talking, we have so much popcorn left." She laughed slightly, poking at the popcorn bag.

By now, the room was pretty much deserted, other then the few insignificant people. Getting up, she began to make her way out of the room, not knowing what was to happen next. Who knows, maybe they'd find use for the rest of the popcorn.

(Ooc: Sorry about this post! I really don't know where to go with this thread )

[Alex]

Once again adjusting his attention to the movie, Alex was growing bored of it, like all the other horror movies he watched, his one had not scared him, not even the last bit, where the girl's eyes opened and she began screaming hysterically. While around him girls screamed and clung to their boyfriends or dates, Alex just yawned, what a trip, is it over? Yes it was.

The movie had ended, and guess what! Alex was not impressed with it, it had been more hilarious than scary, the girls screaming at the parts they thought was scary, while Alex had to stifle his laughter, causing the people around him to look at him like he was nuts. "So what did you think of the movie? I thought it was funny, that girl was very predictable --- Oh! Too bad those couples stopped talking, we have so much popcorn left." " he heard her ask him once the lights came back on and people started to leave. " Eh, it was more funny than anything else. And yeah, we got so much left, what should we do with it?" Alex agreed, looking down at the bag as he saw Reira poke it.

Looking around, he saw people were leaving, and he stood up, making his way out of the theater, holding onto the bag of popcorn like it was a lifesaver or something. As he entered into the lobby once again, his attention was caught by something familiar. It was one of the couples that had been talking, and they were leaving. Looking at Reira, he gave her a mischievous look.

" You thinking what I'm thinking?" he asked, pointing at the couple as they made their way out of the theater. He moved quickly to cover some distance between them, and after reaching a suitable distance, began following after them, did he have an idea, oh yes, was it devious? Oh yes it was. Exiting out of the theater, Alex began walking after them, the bag of popcorn hidden from view. What was Alex up to? That would be answered soon enough.

OOC: No worries, I have a plan! And it's devious!

[Reira]

"Eh, it was more funny than anything else. And yeah, we got so much left, what should we do with it?" That was a very good question. What should they do with the popcorn? She wasn't up for eating it, she didn't have much of an appetite for anything really...at anytime. There was definately an emphasis when he said 'should'. Reira began to grin, thinking of all the possibilities.

Once there was enough room to manuvere through the theatre easily, Reira got out of her seat and followed Alex. He was holding onto the bag of popcorn like it was worth a fortune. Raising an eyebrow, trying to figure out what he was planning, Reira continued to follow him, only stopping once they entered the lobby.

There, not more then a couple feet in front of them, was one of the annoying barbie dolls. Alex had a mischievous look, the barbie looked unsuspecting and innocent, and the popcorn, the popcorn looked deadly. Reira was looking back and forth between the three objects, and then grinned from ear to ear. This should be interesting.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Judging from the mischievous grin on your face, I think I am!"

This was such a good moment to have a video camera of some sort! Too bad she didn't have anything like it, only her memory, but that proved to be unreliable sometimes. Hurrying to follow Alex, she made sure to keep stride with him, not wanting to miss anything. They were trailing the couple like they were going to rob them or something.

Reira walked along with anticipation, awaiting for Alex to act.

[Alex]

As Alex looked at his unsuspecting victim in front of him, he saw from the corner of his eye, Reira looking at him, then the couple, and finally the popcorn bag. She then grinned at him, "Judging from the mischievous grin on your face, I think I am!" " Well let's find out the shall we?" He exited the theatre, and trailed after the couple, all the while looking around him, waiting for the perfect opportunity and spot to strike. He then saw a alleyway up ahead, and there was another alleyway down behind them, perfect. As they passed the alleyway the couple still clueless, Alex brought out his cellphone, and tossed it at Reira.

" Here, catch!" he said, tossing it. " Let's record the fun shall we?" Before he had left the theatre, he had ducked into the washroom, and poured some water on the popcorn, it was now mushy and wet. Perfect. Moving a bit closer, he nodded at Reira to start filming him, and taking aim, tossed the bag into the air. The bag sailed in the air, and landed on target, right on the girl's head. At first it was like time had frozen for the girl, she just stood there, shocked, unable to comprehend that her perfect hair had been ruined, not once, but twice. " And now we run!" Alex cried out gleefully, running as the boyfriend at first tried to comfort his girlfriend before shouting at Alex's retreating back.

" You! You little git! You'll pay for this!" he shouted, shaking his fist in the air at Alex. " Are you getting all this?" Alex asked, as he headed towards the alleyway. As he reached it, he feinted, pretending to go into the alley but in actuality, ran past it, heading towards the other alleyway down the street. He turned his head and saw Ken and Barbie run into the alleyway behind them, clueless that their prey had gone a different way. He then reached the other alleyway, and ducked into it, his back against the brick wall, as Ken and his girl ran past them, unaware that they had just passed their prey, again.

Once he was sure they were gone, Alex bursted into laughter. " Hahaha, did you capture all that?" Alex managed to say between breaths, laughing. " Her face...that was priceless, I hope you got that, it'll make a wonderful memento." After he caught his breath, Alex grinned at Reira. " So, did we have fun?"

[Reira]

As the two of them entered the alleyway after the couple, Alex tossed her his cell phone. She was unprepared for the suddeness of the phone being thrown at her, so she fumbled a little before actually having a good grip on it. "Let's record the fun shall we?" The phone looked very expensive. "Sure thing, but don't blame me if I drop this," she said teasingly, once again following him.

Once they got closer to the targets, Alex gave her a slight nod, signalling for her to start filiming. Pressing the 'okay' button, the cell began filming. There was a pretty good source of light coming from a wall lamp on a nearby building, catching the scene nicely. And a nice throw it was. With a quick, smooth motion, Alex threw the soggy popcorn bag, landing it perfectly on the girls head. The barbie just stood there in silence, uncomprehending. The silence was deep, until Reira burst out laughing, causing the cell phone in her hand to shake. "And now we run!" Too true! Reira filmed Alex running past her gleefully, followed by the angry remarks of Ken. "Ahahaha, her face!!," she giggled, turning and dashing after Alex.

Ken started shaking his fist and yelling furiously at them. Reira had to control her laughter in order to hear him. "Are you getting all this?" Alex had asked, while he pretended to go into one alley, but really ran into another one. "I got everything," she said with a big smile. "Down to Ken's last mutter and Barbie's priceless facial expression. Of course, there's a lot of my laughter in there to, but you can't expect me not to laugh! That was hilarious, it was the highlight of my night!"

She had stopped filming and handed his phone back to him. Her breath eventually slowed down to even breathing. This night was awesome. It started with her being in a foul mood, then her being almost raped by some gang members, then to her meeting Alex and being exuberantly happy. How many times has she laughed since their first encounter? One..two..yeah lots. "So, did we have fun?" Reira looked at him like it was a dumb question. "Of course I had fun, it was a blast! Did you have fun with this random pink haired girl you just met?" She asked with another joking laugh. She would have to remind herself, to ask him to send her a copy of the footage she just captured.

[Alex]

"Sure thing, but don't blame me if I drop this." " If you do, I'll make sure you owe me more than just a ticket." he replied teasingly. He got close to his prey, and looked into the cellphone, whispering, " Welcome to the Jungle mate, today, we're stalking a wild Ken and Barbie, let's get closer shall we,?" and taking aim, let loose his ammunition, at which point, he turned and ran, Reira behind him. "Ahahaha, her face!!" he heard her giggle, her face indeed, as they ran down the sidewalk. " Crikey mate! Let's skedaddle!" he said, running and laughing at the same time.

When he asked her if she got all that, she replied, "I got everything, down to Ken's last mutter and Barbie's priceless facial expression. Of course, there's a lot of my laughter in there to, but you can't expect me not to laugh! That was hilarious, it was the highlight of my night!"

Alex laughed, yep, that was the highlight of the night all right, it was blast. As they stood in the alleyway, catching their breath, Alex asked her is she had fun, to which she replied, "Of course I had fun, it was a blast! Did you have fun with this random pink haired girl you just met?"

" Hell yeah! You make an excellent partner-in-crime! The Crime Committing Duo! Red and Pink!" he answered, posing like he was some super hero. Taking back his cellphone, he played back the video, and grinned, laughing at it. " Oh man, her face, was priceless! Not even Mastercard can buy this!" He turned his cell off, and looked at her. " I'll send you the video, this is priceless memories."

[Reira]

"Hell yeah! You make an excellent partner-in-crime! The Crime Committing Duo! Red and Pink!" Reira held her stomach as she laughed, her abs had definately gotten a workout tonight. In a playful mood, she posed as a photographer, and pretended to snap pictures of him with an imaginary camera. "Super Hero Red snapshots!! Spandex series will be out next week!," she said teasingly, thinking about how a lot of super heroes digged the spandex.

After that little facade, Alex had replayed the video. She scooted close beside him so that she could see her handiwork filming. "Oh man, her face, was priceless! Not even Mastercard can buy this!" Reira laughed along with him as they watched it. Over all, she filmed the whole thing pretty well. The only thing wrong with it was that her laughter was really loud, and the footage was shaky due to her running, but it was still funny.

"I'll send you the video, this is priceless memories."
"Really? That would be awesome! I'll give you my number now," she said, telling him her cell number. A pen and paper would be handy right now, but entering the number in a new contacts entry would work just as good.

Taking a deep breath, she exhaled. It was probably time for her to go home. The stars twinkled brilliantly in the sky, and it wouldn't be good for her to go home too late...even though she would love to stay and hang out with him more, but what else was there for them to do? They were done playing victims, done watching a movie, and done being criminals. Reira smiled replaying the whole night in her mind.

"What time is it? Pretty late right? I guess I should get going.."

[Alex]

"Super Hero Red snapshots!! Spandex series will be out next week!" Alex grinned as she pretended to take pictures of him while he posed. " Don't forget to capture my good side!" he laughed, turning to look even more hero-like, looking up at the sky, even resting one foot on a garbage can. After that, he proceeded to pretend to take pictures of her, "Come on! Show me your good side Wonder Girl Pink!" he cried out, dashing around her, making little clicking noises, grinning.

After their little photoshoot was over, Alex proceeded to watch the movie. It was funny, even though Reira's laughter was really loud and the pictures shook since she had been running. " Shaky cam much?" he teased, and he then told her he'd send her the video.

"Really? That would be awesome! I'll give you my number now." " Alright then." Alex replied, turning his cell on and accessing the menu, he then typed in her number as she told him it. " Done and done." he said, closing his cell.

Alex checked the time on his cell, whoa! It was late! Time to go home, or his sister would throw a fit if he didn't come home. "What time is it? Pretty late right? I guess I should get going.." " It's about 11:30pm, and yeah, me too. I'll walk you home, which way?" he asked, looking left and right. " Lead the way Wonder Girl Pink." he teased, walking out of the alleyway.

[Reira]

"Ahaha! Wonder Girl Pink! Won't forget that one!," she said with an amused smile. She had acquired many nicknames over the years, odd ones at that, but she decided she liked this one the best. "Come on! Show me your good side Wonder Girl Pink!" She stuck out her tongue and pretended to flex, as Alex pretended to take pictures of her.

Alex continued to watch the clip. "Shaky cam much?" All she could do was shrug her shoulders and look innocent. "You can't expect me not to be shaky when I'm running from a deranged Ken doll that wants to knock you one in the noggen," she said stifling laughter. He then sent her a copy to her cell phone. Yep, she'd be watching that over again tonight...if her dad ever stopped yelling at her for walking out and hanging around till 11:30. Hopefully she didn't have to twist the truth too much, she hated lieing to him.

She smiled thankfully at him when he offered to walk her home. "Lead the way Wonder Girl Pink." he teased. "Righto! This way Super Hero Red!,"she said happily, walking out of the alleyway. She didn't want him to have to walk her all the way home. He must've had someone waiting for him to get home to. Besides, she lived in a suburb, and it was a half n hour subway ride.

Walking down a few blocks, she lead him to a subway entrance. "Well, here is where we part ways. I live in a suburb thiry minutes from here. I wouldn't want to drag you with me all the way, that would just be mean! Unless of course, you have to take the train to," she said matter of factly. If not, then she wondered if she would ever see him again. Maybe she could text him every now and then.

Her footsteps echoed as she took the first few steps down..

[Alex]

"Ahaha! Wonder Girl Pink! Won't forget that one!"Alex grinned at her, " Same here! Super Hero Red! I feel like a Power Ranger!" he laughed, as she stuck her tongue out at him and pretended to flex as he leaped around taking pictures of her. When he looked at the video and commented on her video skills, she replied, "You can't expect me not to be shaky when I'm running from a deranged Ken doll that wants to knock you one in the noggen."

" Okay okay, I conceed, you're right. So, what should our video be called?" Alex asked, taking a few moments to think. "....oh! I got it! When Kens Attack! Or or, how about this, Creature from the Plastic Lagoon!" he laughed, sending the video to her cellphone, she'd probably already have it by the time she got home. When he offfered to walk her home and lead the way, she replied, "Righto! This way Super Hero Red!," " Will do Wonder Girl Pink! Power Rangers go!" he cried out gleefully, acting like a little kid.

Well you couldn't blame him for acting like this. His childhood wasn't exactly filled with fun, the only person he had interacted with was his sister, and even then, he had training almost all the time when he was young, so now, he could actually have fun and not worry about looking like a lunatic, heck, Reira was acting like him right now. They reached a subway entrance, and Reira stopped and turned. "Well, here is where we part ways. I live in a suburb thirty minutes from here. I wouldn't want to drag you with me all the way, that would just be mean! Unless of course, you have to take the train too."

Actually about that... " Well, the thing is," Alex began, as he turned his gaze to look behind him, as a limousine drove up behind him. He turned back to Reira, and grinned sheepishly. " Did I neglect to mention the fact that my full name is Alexander Hikari, son of Kane Hikari, the head of Hikari Industries?" he said, as the driver stepped out of the car and walked over to the other side, opening the door for Alex, waiting for him to step in. Apparently, he did. Crap. " So what do you say? You wanna take the subway, or take the limousine? I'll gladly take you home if you don't mind." Alex asked, a sheepish grin still on his face, secret's out he guessed.

Oh boy.

[Reira]

What a fun night! This was the first time she had acted so laid back and careless for a long time. It was like she was a kid again, acting so childish and immature. She didn't care what people thought of her..she would have fun the way she wanted to. Simple as that. Besides, her father always commented on how she grew up so fast after her mother's dissapearance. Like she had a choice. Her dad was hardly stable enough to take care of her properly...so it was nice to just get out, have fun, and act like you had no cares in the world.

Reira stopped her decent down the subway stairs to look at Alex. "Well, the thing is," he said, glancing behind him. She could hear a soft hum of an engine. Standing on her tip toes, she was shocked to see a elegant black limousine pull up behind Alex. Averting her attention back to him she raised an eyebrow suspiciously, as he grinned that all to familiar grin. "Did I neglect to mention the fact that my full name is Alexander Hikari, son of Kane Hikari, the head of Hikari Industries?" Um, YES. Reira had no idea what her face looked like, it was probably one of complete and utter surprise.

"Whoa, whoa..your Alexander Hikari!" she managed to say, after a few failed attempts. She was standing beside him now, staring aimlessly at the limo. She had just spent her entire evening, totally at ease with the son of Kane Hikari, the head of Hikari Industries...a very gosh darn powerful and rich industry to say the least.

Well..that was a shocker..a big one. Note to self. Meet new person, ask for their full names to avoid surprises. Not that this is a bad surprise, it just that I would have never ever guessed that Alex was the future heir to Hikari industries. If I did know, I'd probably be expecting the typical stereotype that comes with people with such a background. I'm glad I didn't know, the night would have been totally different if I had..and I got to see a great side of him.

"Hmm, looks like I just discovered the secret identity behind Super Hero Red," she said with a grin. The shock was gone..well okay, the shock wouldn't be gone for a while, but she accepted the fact nicely. "So what do you say? You wanna take the subway, or take the limousine? I'll gladly take you home if you don't mind." Reira pretended to think deeply. "Well I don't know Alexander..is it really okay for a person like me to be hanging around with such an important person like you?," she said jokingly and stepped into the limo. Regardless of his background, she would still try to remember him as the guy she had a great time with, her friend.

"I'll gladly accept your offer! Whoa..I've never been in a limousine before..this is pretty sweet," she said to him with a smile. She then told him where she lived, so that he could pass the information to the driver.

[Alex]

"Whoa, whoa..you're Alexander Hikari!" he heard her say, after a few failed attempts to speak. " Um, yeah, I'm pretty sure that's my name, it is the one I was given when I was born." he replied, laughing at the look on Reira's face, it was complete and utter shock. He saw her walk back up the stairs to stand beside him, and was staring aimlessly at the limo. " Hello? Earth to Reira? Anybody home?" he asked, waving his hand in front of her face. " Don't space out on me, I know it's a limo, but please, don't drool. Someone walking by might slip and go flying from it." he laughed.

"Hmm, looks like I just discovered the secret identity behind Super Hero Red." " Hahaha, I guess so, secret's out huh?" he said, returning her grin. When he asked her if she wanted to take the subway or the limo, she paused, looking like she was thinking deeply, but Alex knew she had already made her choice. "Well I don't know Alexander..is it really okay for a person like me to be hanging around with such an important person like you?"

"Arrgh, call me Alex please, Alexander is too formal, I'll only answer to that name if someone extremely important calls me that." he replied with a look of dread on his face, he would never answer to that name, unless it was his sister that called him, then he would. Anyone else, forget it. He saw her step into the limo, guess she made her choice, obviously.

Following her into the limo, as soon as he sat down in the seat on the side, the driver closed the door and made his way to the driver's seat. The engine roaring to life, they were off. When Alex looked at Reira, he could tell she was amazed by the limo. "I'll gladly accept your offer! Whoa..I've never been in a limousine before..this is pretty sweet."

"Yeah, it is. Hehe, go ahead, take a look around, there's a mini-fridge over there," he said, pointing across from him, " A TV, with satellite," he said, pointing to the front, "And a stereo with surround sound." he said, motioning beside him, on his right. " This is my own personal limo, my sister has her own, and the both of us customized our own limo, neither are alike. We got another one for formal parties and such, but we rarely use it. Go ahead, explore around, you're free to do what you like. I'll tell the driver where you live." he said, after she told him where she lived.

Moving to the front, he rolled down the window that separated the driver from them. " Yes sir?" the driver asked, his eyes glued to the road. " Take us to this address." Alex replied, giving the driver the address. " Yes sir." he replied, as Alex rolled the window up, and moved back to his seat. " Heh, I hope your opinion of me hasn't changed too much." he grinned, yes, his background was very different from Reira's, but that didn't stop him from becoming friends with her. People tend to assume that people like him, would associate with others like him. Hell no! Alex would associate with whoever he damn well pleased, and no one would stop him.

He got up from his seat, and opened the mini-fridge. " Want something to drink?" he asked, turning his gaze to grin at her. Alex, would never act the way people stereotyped people like him, it was not in his nature, nor would it ever be.

[Reira]

"Ha,ha," Reira said pronunciating the two words slowly, after his comment about her drooling over the limo. It was a very nice limo though, and to think that something like this would happen to her, out of any person in the world, it was her. Well..the world goes round.

Reira stepped into the limo and pretended to ignore the comment about Alex not big on people calling him by his full name. She smiled inwardly at the look of dread on his face. Okay, she'd stick to calling him Alex, Alexander was just too long for her taste anyway, she liked Super Hero Red better.

And she thought the exterior was great..the inside was even better. She forced herself to contain her utter amusement and gawkiness, but her eyes clearly gave her away. They were probably beaming. Just a little while longer and she would be back to normal....yep all done.

"Yeah, it is. Hehe, go ahead, take a look around, there's a mini-fridge over there, A TV, with satellite, and a stereo with surround sound." Reira followed the line of Alex's finger as he listed everything the limo contained off. Hell, the inside of this thing could have been her bedroom, except for the mini-fridge. "This is intesnse dude, I feel so out of place..," she said with a half smile.

"This is my own personal limo, my sister has her own, and the both of us customized our own limo, neither are alike. We got another one for formal parties and such, but we rarely use it. Go ahead, explore around, you're free to do what you like. I'll tell the driver where you live." Reira nodded when Alex gave her permission to look around. She was still very astounded. She wondered what it was like living with so much..money. Isn't what everyone wanted? Was it as good as everything thought it was? Either way, Reira was content with the way she was.

As Alex gave the driver the directions to her house, Reira took the opportunity to fiddle with the stereo. She loved music, her dad got her into it at a young age, now it was stuck with her. Curious as to what music Alex listened to, she pressed the play button, only to have her ear drums get blown out with a loud blast of music. "Ack!!!" With fast reflexes she turned it off. "Ahahaha..wicked sound," she said, like a child being caught doing something bad. Alex returned to look at her after his business with the driver was done.

"Heh, I hope your opinion of me hasn't changed too much," he said with a grin, which she returned. "Well..it did at first, but then I started to think, why should it matter? After all, no matter what background you have, your still you. It's like dressing me as a prep and telling me to act preppy, in the end, I'm still going to be me, Reira," she said with a shrug.

Alex then got out of his seat and walked to the mini-fridge. "Want something to drink?" She nodded. "Sure, a soda is fine." Once he handed it
to her, she cracked it opened and took a long drink. She didn't realize how thirsty she was..she was only laughing her ass off all day and running like a crazy woman.

The limo ride was seemed much faster then the subway, and by no time, they were already in her small little suburb. Reira watched the familiar scenery roll by, she knew they'd be at her house really soon. "We're nearly there, she said, her soda finished. "Before I forget, thanks for tonight. It was really fun! Thanks again for the nice transport home,"she said with a grin. After a few more turns, they were parked right in her drive way.

She was going to open the door herself, but she shouldn't have been surprised when the driver opened the door for her. Must've been habbit. Smiling she thanked him and before she got out she turned to Alex. "I'll text you sometimes, to keep in touch..if you don't mind, that is." That being said, she waved her final goodbye.

"What a night to remember." Watching the fading headlights of the limo dissapear around the corner, she smiled and walked into her house to face the wrath of her father.

[Alex]

"Ha,ha." Alex couldn't help but grin at her reaction to him commenting on her drooling over the limo. Stepping into the limo after her, he listed off the stuff he had in his limo, as he saw her follow the line of his finger as he pointed to the various stuff in the limo. "This is intense dude, I feel so out of place..." Alex laughed, and smiled, " Well, how many people can say they've ridden in the limo of the son of the head of Hikari Industries?"

Not many. Alex didn't have any friends to ask if they wanted a ride, his childhood had been...friendless, to say the least. " I envy you though." he said to Reira, smiling sadly. " You had friends when you were younger, I had none. Growing up, I had no friends, not even school friends, I had been tutored almost my entire life. The only time I had friends was in elementary school, and even then, I had to leave them behind without any notice. You're one of the first friends I met since going to high school, even if the high school is a prison..." he said, trailing off.

He then went to tell the drivier where to go, as he did, the stereo suddenly went off, blaring out his music, and he heard a, "Ack!!!" behind him. Quick as the music turned on, it turned off, and Alex finished giving the driver instructions. He then turned and grinned at Reira, who was the culprit. "Ahahaha..wicked sound." " If you wanted to listen to the stereo, you could've just asked, instead of blasting our eardrums." he replied, grinning, sitting back down.

When he asked if her opinion of him changed, she replied, "Well..it did at first, but then I started to think, why should it matter? After all, no matter what background you have, your still you. It's like dressing me as a prep and telling me to act preppy, in the end, I'm still going to be me, Reira." " Oh? Well, I'm not that surprised. It's not everyday you meet the son of Kane Hikari, though yeah, in the end, it doesn't matter. I'll still be Alex Hikari, no matter what, though I could always call myself Super Hero Red, right Wonder Girl Pink?" he teased, laughing.

He moved the fridge, and when he asked if she wanted something to drink she replied, "Sure, a soda is fine." He pulled out two sodas and closed the fridge with his foot as he sat down. He handed one to her, and opened his with a loud crack. He took a drink from it, he didn't realize he was that thirsty, all the running and laughing had made him forget about his thirst temporarily. In no time, they had reached her neighbourhood. "We're nearly there. Before I forget, thanks for tonight. It was really fun! Thanks again for the nice transport home." " No problem, now you can brag you've been in a limo, and you didn't have to pay for it too." he replied, grinning.

Too soon, they had pulled into her driveway, and the driver got out of the limo and opened the door for Reira. As she got out, Alex shuffled over to sit in the side seat near the window. Before she got out, she turned and said, " I'll text you sometimes, to keep in touch..if you don't mind, that is." " No, I don't mind, text me whenever you like, I'd like that." The door closed as soon as she got out, and he rolled down the window, to wave to her. " Later Reira, if you ever want to hang out, give me a call, I'll bring the limo again!" he said, grinning at her. He rolled the window back up, and the limo pulled out of the driveway, and disappeared around the corner, taking him home.

OOC: Reira, you post one last post, and then this thread is closed!

[Reira]

The overall shock of the limousine was wearing off. It was still really nice though! She had been thinking about how life would be if you were raised into a rich family. Learning all the proper etiquette and living up to high expectations..must've been hard sometimes. Reira couldn't do it, not after living the way she did. "I envy you though." he said suddenly, smiling sadly. Reira inclined her head towards him. " You had friends when you were younger, I had none. Growing up, I had no friends, not even school friends, I had been tutored almost my entire life. The only time I had friends was in elementary school, and even then, I had to leave them behind without any notice. You're one of the first friends I met since going to high school, even if the high school is a prison..." he said, his voice falling to a whisper.

Then she was right then. It had to be hard sometimes. Being rich had all its ups and downs, just like everything else. Reira felt sorry for him. She couldn't help but picture a young Alex sitting at a desk with his private tutor while all the other kids played happily outside. Looking down for a second, she once again made eye contact with him. "Wonder Girl Pink is on the job! I'm only your first friend, but your going to gain plently more, I just know it. So don't be so glum chum," she said saluting and smiling at the same time. After today, she could see herself as Alex's friend for a very long time. She wouldn't abandon him.

The two of them sat across from eachother, exchanging various comments about her battle with the stereo and whether or not her opinion had changed about him. Which it did not. "Oh? Well, I'm not that surprised. It's not everyday you meet the son of Kane Hikari, though yeah, in the end, it doesn't matter. I'll still be Alex Hikari, no matter what, though I could always call myself Super Hero Red, right Wonder Girl Pink?" he started, laughing. She also laughed. "Very true! But what happens when I decide to go back to my natural hair colour? Brown..Wonder Girl Brown...Yuck, I'll stick with the pink!," she said with a grin.

After that, the two of them enjoyed their soda's in relative ease. The limo cruised very smoothly and Reira didn't have to worry about her bumping and spilling some on her white shirt. She then announced that they were nearly at her house and thanked him...then asked about her texting him. "No, I don't mind, text me whenever you like, I'd like that." She smiled! "Kdoke! Will do then! Don't be scared to give me a call either, I probably won't be busy."

With that, she stepped out of the limo, into her dark driveway. " Later Reira, if you ever want to hang out, give me a call, I'll bring the limo again!" She raised her arm and also waved! "Later! I promise not to drool!," she said jokingly as the limo dissapeard into the darkness. She walked slowly to her door and opened it tentively. Hmm..no yelling..no protruding veins. What a lucky night!

Her dad was sleeping on the couch, the tv on loudly. Quietly, she snuck past him and took the stair two at a time to reach her room. Digging around for her cell phone she saw she had one message. The video. Opening it, she played it, and laughed. They would have to do something like this again.
