The Power To Be Dealt With! Closed!

[OutFoxed]

Eli and Lizzie walked down the stairs and out the building door. Lizzie's hand was in Eli's bigger one and she began to skip as they crossed the street. Her gaze was directed at the arch that was over the park’s pathway. Sculpted in the metal arch were two oak trees, one on either side and where the leaves met in the middle was the park’s name. Her eyes traced over the three dimensional work where her fingers could not. Her heart started beating faster as she lowered her gaze and looked out over the park. People were walking and jogging. Dogs were running and fetching all over. The river glistened on the far end of the park. She stopped, stopping Eli too when he felt the soft tug of her hand in his. He looked back and couldn’t help smile at the look of wonder and endless possibilities on the child’s face.

Tilly saw Eli and smiled. She ran over hopping up on his shoulders, purring. She looked down at Lizzie, but stayed where she was, happily, rubbing her head on his face. Sam came back to the park with Wesley behind him. He glanced around looking for Tilly. He sighed when he couldn't find her.

[OutFoxed]

Eli was surprised when Tilly came out of nowhere and jumped onto his shoulders. "Hey Tilly." Wesley must be around. He thought. Eyes huge, Lizzie stared at the cat. "This, this is Tilly. My friend's cat. Tilly, this is Elizabeth." He introduced the two.

Tilly looked down at Lizzie and rubbed her head against Eli's face. She smiled reaching down towards Lizzie. Sam barked calling for Tilly, who meowed back. Sam ran over, sitting down in front of Eli. He yapped rolling on his back. Wesley followed slowly behind Sam, not saying anything as she walked.

"Hey Sam!" Eli greeted the dog as he came up to him. "This is my little sister Lizzie." She imediately kneeled down and started petting the dog. "Lizzie what did I tell you you had to do first?" Eli scolded her. AS he spoke his eyes flickered upwards and spotted Wesley was standing near them. He only looked at her for half a secong then returned his gaze to his sister. Slight coloring flooded his cheeks.

Wesley stopped looking at Eli from where she was. Of course, she thought. She liked talking to Eli, but she also felt like she was being a burden and she didn't want that. She sighed a little as she silently walked over to them, chewing on her bottom lip. Wesley looked herself over. She had put a hair tie around the top of the sweats to hold them up and one on the shirt so it didn't look so big on her. "I'm sorry about them," she said quietly, taking Tilly off of Eli's shoulders, her arms brushing against him slightly. Wesley chewed at her lip again, putting Tilly down.

[OutFoxed]

"Oh it's fine." Eli replied. He looked down at his sister who was happily playing with Sam. She looked happy and content and probably wouldn't mind if he talked to Wesley. "How are you?" He asked casually. He kept his gaze on Liz and Sam.

[OMG so sorry I haven't replied until now...don't be mad...Haha...]

[angeldoll090]

((No worries. I'm not mad at all.))

Wesley looked at Eli. "I'm good, I guess," she replied looking down at the ground. "You?" Wesley played with the end of her shirt, thinking. "Did you get me note?" she asked.

[OutFoxed]

"That's good. Yeah," Eli paused momentarily. "I got your note." He kept his eyes focused off in the distance. He didn't consciously know it, but he was staring toward the river. Lizzie looked up at her brother. "We don't have to go for a while do we?" She asked. Her sweet innocent young voice conveyed her desire to play with the animals longer. "Well it's up to Wesley." Eli replied. Lizzie looked at Wesley and crossed her fingers.

[angeldoll090]

Sam and Tilly looked at Wesley, pleading with her to stay and let them play longer. Wesley turned her eyes to Lizzie and then to the animals again. She couldn't say no to Lizzie. She looked so cute and she didn't want to disappoint the little girl. "Go ahead. We won't be leaving for a while anyway," Wesley told her with a smile. She looked at Tilly and Sam who rejoiced and went back to playing with Lizzie.
