-Ember-
I smiled merrily and ran upstairs, quickly changing into a sapphire blue bikini with ruffles on it and white accents that brought a tan tint to my smooth porcelain skin. I giggled to myself as i tied my thick brown hair up into a high pony tail, not bothering that even then, my hair still reached mid back.
"C'mon Greece, lets get a move on." I smiled and dashed out the door, the small black cat padding after me as we hurried down to the pool. I had to admit, i was excited about seeing Bryan, he was a sweet guy after all. No no, no time to think like that. Must focus on my country first.
I sighed softly before scooping up my cat in my arms and walking out into the sunlight. It would seem Bryan had beat me to the pool.

((Anyone can run into anyone ^.^ My characters Jack and Avery are still open plus anyone can join at the pool if they feel like it))

Bryan
As he surfaced from being underwater he heard a German girl speaking. He stood in the water and looked over to the voice. He just simply smiled and waved, "Hello." He said back but his voice had his English accent to it. He gave the girl a smile before he turned his attention to the sound of footsteps. Ember's footsteps to be more correct. Bryan smiled, "I beat you here!" He said with a huge goofy looking grin.

((Haha of course you can ^.^))

-Ember-
I smiled and slid into the pool, smoothly sliding over to Bryan and latching onto his shoulders. I giggled softly, "For payment for going ahead i demand a piggy back ride!" I grinned and brushed my pony tail, which was still relativly dry, off of my shoulders. "On forth mighty steed!!!!"

-Jack-
I sighed and flopped back on a couch in the living room, flipping open a small book. It was a good day to read, and even though i could have joined those outside at the pool, i figured my time would be more enjoyed in the pages of a book. Yeah i was a bookworm, but Ember was so social, i never had to be. We blanaced eachother out.

-Jack-
I glanced up and blinked calmly as the girl fumbled about before chuckling softly. When i spoke my voice- so rarely heard- was smooth and slightly low, kind of melodic, "There's no need to fumble around so much, you are beautiful and you shouldn't be embaressed by such." I smiled warmly before turning back to my book, leaving her with the option of joining me, or running off.

Bryan
Bryan laughed when she hopped on his back. On instinct he held onto her legs so she wouldn't fall. "O' yes my mighty rider!" He said as he walked forward a few steps. Then he stopped abruptly, "Oh no! The mighty horse broke its ankle. Down does the rider and horse." He laughed as he fell sideways into the water dragging Ember down with him. Bryan popped his head out of the water and ran his fingers through his brown hair. He shook his hair out a little and his two crosses on his chain around his neck jiggled slightly as the bumped into each other.

-Ember-
I resurfaced next to Bryan, shaking my head and scattered drops of water about before laughing happily. "That was fun." I ran my hand over my pony tail and glanced over, reaching across him to hook two fingers through his necklace and pull it up so that i could look at the charms, "They're very beautiful...." I murmered softly, pondering over what the two crosses might mean to him.

Bryan
He laughed with Ember then he went stiff when she grabbed his necklace. The two full gold crosses were in her hands and Bryan swiftly snatched them from her hand. "Thank you, but just forget about them." He said simply a hint of anger and sorrow was in his voice. He sighed and allowed the necklace and charms rest freely on his chest again. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to snatch it from you... these just mean a lot to me." He said very simply and his eyes seemed to become dull. Almost like there was no life left in his eyes. Bryan never once talked about how his parents died, who killed them, and why he wore the crosses that his mom and dad wore everyday until they died. He never spoke of that event that took place long ago. He then gave a big unexpected smile and tackled Ember into the water. "Haha I got you!" He said with a smile.

-Ember-
I faked a smile and easily slipped out of his hands. Inside i was slightly hurt and rather worried i had angered him. I bit my lip, hoping to somehow make up for it. I decided the best way would be to open up to him. So when we both resurfaced i turned around and pulled my pony tail over my shoulder, revealing an extremly intricate ankh at the nape of my neck, with golden accents. "Do you see this Ankh? I got it in honor of my sister and parents. They....they were killed...murdered in a fire. My sister was an artist and she had drawn this for me when i was very young...so i ended up getting it inked into my skin....." I dropped my pony tail and turned around offering a small smile, "I know what it's like to miss a loved one. Im sorry that i so casually grabbed at your necklace. I should have thought more." I giggled softly, hoping to lighten the mood.

-Jack-
I smiled softly and flipped a page of my book. Rarely had anyone joined me. Even more rarely had they relaxed around me. "My name is Jack by the way, I'm a prince of Persia."

Bryan
His smile faded as she spoke about her family. He had no idea that her family was killed too, but her family died in a fire. His died by being shot in the head by a traitors. Though he didn't let it get to him he just simply hugged ember, "I'm sorry for your loss." He said before he released her from the hug. "Now do you want to play a game?" He asked with a smile.

[feather_light_flight]

-Ember-
I smiled slightly and nodded, "Of course!" My eyes shimmered softly as i looked at him, "What's the game though?" As i spoke i played with my chocolate colored hair, it had already begun to dry out, and drops of water hung off the strands like diamonds, glittering and shimmering in the sun light.

-Jack-
I smiled softly, and held up my book. The title read 'Beautiful Creatures' and had a strange, purple and black shadowy cover. "Do you read?" I spoke softly, as usual, but my voice held warmth and kindness, as if i were speaking to a frightened animal. Ember always said i'd be good with animals if i went outside more often.
