The wind blew rather fiercely. The leaves in the trees crahsed and collided, creating many sounds of rustling. Some heavy clouds were lingering over the skies, as if it may start raining soon. Not many people were out at all because of this. It was a rather dreary looking Saturday.
A young girl sat by the creek, with a white umbrella shading her head. She was wearing a white dress that was long-sleeved and went to her knees. Her long blonde hair was blowing in the wind as her small face looked out toward the moving stream.
She clinged to the poll of her umbrella. She had brought it with her in case it did begin to rain. She was glad she did bring it since it looked like it could rain any second. This caused her to feel only more empty. She had asked for her brother to come with her, but he refused without giving her an answer. She wondered if anything was up as she sighed.

Rory fought against the wind as he casually walked along the edge of the creek. He didn't want to be home--his parents were at it again and odds were that there would be more than a few broken chairs when he got back. No, much better to risk the rain than to witness that. The rain began to fall faintly, but it was hardly noticeable yet. Rory blinked through the rain and saw the girl for the first time. She couldn't be much younger than himself. Probably in his grade. "'Ello," he said as he approached. He had sort of a brittish accent.

She barely noticed that several small drops were falling ever so slightly from the sky. Her hearing faintly picked up on the small vibration on her umbrella. The scent of ran filled her. Though the weather could sadden her at times, the smell of rain was nice. She did not know why, she just liked it.
Her gaze left the water when she heard someone speak. She turned her head and looked up to see it was a boy close to her age probably. She was taken by surprise slightly, since she had not noticed him approaching. She thought it was only polite to greet him back. "Hi."She said, her voice soft.

Rory smiled, though he didn't know why. "Heh, what you doing out here in the rain?" he asked. The rain began to fall harder and soon he was soaked, but he din't mind. Beads of water dripped off his hair and clothes. "You'll ruin that nice dress of yours." He didn't sound like he particularly cared, just trying to strike up a conversation.

The beating of the rain became harder as it hit her umbrella. The toe-headed girl shrugged at the boy's first question. "I wanted to come outside."She said simply, as her brown eyes looked out toward the water for a few seconds before looking back at him. "Besides, I have other dresses at home."She said even though she doubted he would really be interested in that type of thing. From what she could see it would appear he was the one getting his clothes ruined while she was remain pretty dry for the time underneath her umbrella. "Why are you out?"She asked him tilting her head to the side. Her long hair fell down in strands, touching the ground.

Rory's smile fell suddenly and he looked away. He lowered himself to the ground next to her and put his arms on his knees as he looked down at the drops rippling in the creek. "It's nothing, just a few problems at home, thought I'd get away from it," he said with a shrug. The sound of a thousand hissing snakes filled the air as the rain began to fall harder. Rory took a deep breath of the wonderful smells that the rain revealed and let it out slowly. "Besides, it's nice out here."

Her soft brown eyes looked at him with innocence mixed into them. She did not know what type of problems this boy was going through specifically, but she had her own problems. So, she could somewhat feel for him in a way, understanding that home may not always be "home". The rain fell harder now, probably to the point of stinging if your skin was sensitive enough. She noticed that the boy was really becoming soaked, so she toook her umbrella and held it over him letting herself get wet. She did not mind too much though.

Rory blinked and glanced at her as she held it over him. "Heh, you don't have to do that," he said with a grin, though he was grateful. He leaned in a bit so she could hold the umbrella more over herself as well. "'Ey, look! A feesh!" he said with a grin, adding another wierd accent to his already accented voice. Indeed, below in the creek you could see at least a dozen of 'em, some of them surfacing their scaley bodies above the water before swimming down again. Ok, Rory was bored, and that made him hyper. "Oh, I almost forgot, I'm Rory," he added with a grin.

The young girl shrugged lightly. "You'll get sick."She stated a bit bluntly. When the boy leaned in, she was able to keep the umbrella slightly over herself. Hopefully both of them would not become so soaked then. Hearing the sudden comment, she turned to look at the creek. She smiled slightly seeing the glimmering scales moving effortlessly in the rippling water. The current was probably pulling them though, which may have been slightly scary if you were a fish. Hearing the boy speak she turned her head. So, his name was Rory. She felt a bit bad, since she had not introduced herself earlier. "It's very nice to mee you,"She said to him. "My name is Alice Avian."She said to Rory.

((Wow, you make good posts! Me, I'm writer's blocked right now.))
"Alice?" he repeated, half to himself. His grin widened. "Cool."
Rory held out a hand, palm open, as the rain fell. "Hey, do you go to school here then?" he asked as he lowered his hand and rested it on his knee again.

((Thanks! You like that, I should PM you what my friend posted if you want)) ((Writer's block is EVIL. >< I hate it when I get it.))
Alice nodded her head while gently smiling when he said her name. Rory did seem like a very nice boy, and she was glad she met someone nice like him on a day like this. The day was dreary but she met someone nice. Alice wondered if it had been a nice day, she might not have met such a nice person.
She looked up for a few minutes, when he asked if she attended school. She then nodded her head once more. "Yes, that's right."She said to Rory. "I'm in 9th grade, so I'm still going to the Junior Highschool."She told Rory. She then wondered what grade the boy was in, if he did attend school that is. "What about you?"She asked him with slight curiousity in her voice.

"Same," Rory said, suddenly getting a bright spark in his eye. Then he added, "But I'm kind of new. You see, I was going to a boarding school before now. Ulg, I hated it. The teachers were nazis and the other kids were like robots. Every time I tried to talk to anyone they gave me blank stares or shouted at me to be quiet. But hey, I'm finnally away from that prison and now I'm here." Rory sighed with contentment as he leaned back on his hands.

She nodded, listening to Rory. She blinked her large, innocent brown eyes when he was done speaking for the moment. "Wow, it was...that horrible?"She asked with a naive look upon her features. "I've never been to a private school...I've only had private tutoring..."She said to Rory. "I started public school a while back though."She continued on.
She looked upward toward the clouds. The rain was no longer beating to the earth as hard as earlier, but was softening a bit up. Still, it was continuing to rain though, but more of a light shower.

Rory grunted in acknowledgement. His eyes drifted over the scene, taking it all in. "Heh, I don't think I could stand it if all I got was a private tutor, I need other people to keep my sanity. But that's just me." He shrugged.
Suddenly he straightened as he heard something else over the rain. Footsteps pounded through the trees and even as he watched another kid came running in from the treeline. He was a lot younger, perhaps 10.
"Hi! You don't know me and I don't know you. And I did not steal anyone's wallet so don't ask!" the kid said rappidly. His eyes were wide and shifty and he looked constantly on the edge of flight. He didn't seem to mind that he was soaking in the rain, he was just concerned with catching his breath for a moment. Rory raised an eyebrow.

Alice nodded. "That's understandable."She replied, before looking out toward the creek where the water continued to ripple.
Her hearing picked up on the running. She too had turned her head to see who it was running so quickly. She saw through the falling frops of rain it was a young child. They honestly looked a bit...nervous or anxious really.
Alice was bewildered by what this younger boy meant. The confusion appeared on her delicate face as well. "Um...are you alright....?"Alice asked, not exactly what sure she was suppose to say.
