River: River smiled and mouthed to Max "thanks".

Rose Carson: "Yes, my granddaughter's quite special" she said as a compliment.

Max: "You're welcome," she said.

Daniel: Having lost his family, Daniel accidentally ran into River, Max, and River's grandmother. He blushed slightly and ran a hand through his hair embarrassedly. "Uh, hey guys. I'm Daniel. I'm one of Max and River's....friends."

Daniel: Having lost his family, Daniel accidentally ran into River, Max, and River's grandmother. He blushed slightly and ran a hand through his hair embarrassedly. "Uh, hey guys. I'm Daniel. I'm one of Max and River's....friends."

River: River smiled as Daniel came over excited to see him. She sighed and her smile fell slightly as Daniel called her just his friend. She knew he wanted to keep their relationship hidden, but she almost felt lost without him by her side. It was weird hiding that she had a boyfriend especially when he was right there.

Rose: Rose smiled at Daniel, "it's nice to meet you" she said.

Toby: Toby sat up and shrugged "maybe" he said without any confidence "It just seems like if she cared about me at all she would let me know. But she doesn't, and if she ever does contact me the conversation is always centered around her and her life. She never asks about me."

Brian: Brian sat down with his wife a short distance from Toby and Alex, but far enough away to give their son some space to talk.

Alex: Alex pursed her lips before shaking her head, "You see, that's where you're wrong. Just because someone doesn't tell you that they care about you doesn't mean they don't. And if she always talks about her life, try to relate to what she's talking about so you can talk about your life. Sometimes people don't mean to only speak about themselves but if a lot is going on they can't help but talk about it. You just have to remind her that you have a life too."

Margo: "Thanks," Margo said about the firewood, then added, "I meant something more like normal fireworks, like a burst or streaks, not words before. But it might look good to just suddenly have words burning in the sky." They were nearing the ocean now.

OOC: Night!

Jack: Jack shrugged," I didn't mean to get rid of your idea, I just came up with my own I guess. If you want to do yours we can, they both seem really good."

Ooc: Night!

Toby: Toby shrugged and sighed "yeah, I tried that for awhile, but then I just kind of stopped." He shrugged again and admitted "I should probably send her a text sometime" he said subconsciously putting his hand on his phone in his pocket.

Alex: Alex nodded her head with a small smile. "That would let her know you still want to talk to her, and hey, if you ever wanted to tell her you have a new incredible best friend that would stir up a conversation too," She said joking towards the end.

Rose: Rose smiled at Daniel, "it's nice to meet you" she said.

Daniel: "Nice to meet you too." He felt guilty about only calling River a friend, so he tried to unobtrusively give her one of his sweeter smiles that he usually reserved for when they were together out of the public eye. He would make it up to her if he could.

OOC: Night!

OOC: Night!

Toby: Toby smiled slightly "I'll have to do that sometime, but not now" then looking at his parents he shouted "hey strangers, come join us!"

Andrea: Andrea laughed at her son and stood moving with her husband to sit closer to Alex.

River: River half smiled back at Daniel, knowing he was trying to make it okay. But she still felt weird about it.

Alex: Alex laughed and shook her head at Toby. She smiled kindly at both Andrea and Brian before humming under her breath.

Ooc: Night Wings!

 

[disneygirl520]

Alex: Alex laughed and shook her head at Toby. She smiled kindly at both Andrea and Brian before humming under her breath.

Ooc: Night Wings!

Toby: Toby smiled, then said quickly "oh, mom, dad! how's Zeus?!" he asked referring to his dog.

Brian: Brian laughed at his sons hurry. "he's fine, but he definitely misses you. He's getting lazy without you running him up and down the beach all day."

Max: Max was just beginning to smile when a hand landed on her shoulder, and she knew it was her father.

Lt. Patterson: "Excuse me everyone. Maxine, a private word?"

Max: "Yes sir," she said. Turning nervously to her friends as her father guided her away, she mouthed, "I'll be back soon".

Maxine and her father walked until they were standing next to a wall far enough away where they could be seen but not be heard. Both father and daughter stared at the floor for a bit, then father squatted down so he was eyelevel with daughter and proceeded to tell her he was going back to the front the next day. The observer didn't know what he said, but they knew it was definitely shocking and upsetting, because Max appeared to go weak in her legs, and had to put a hand on the wall to steady herself. Her father seemed to talk some more and then, in the first show of affection they had seen all night, he stood up and hugged his daughter. Maxine didn't seem to react for a few seconds, where in fact she was paralyzed in surprise, but then she hugged her father back. Then he let go and grabbed her by the shoulder and told her to behave herself. Maxine nodded, afraid. Then he patted her on the head, and left. Maxine stared after him in shock.

Brian: Brian laughed at his sons hurry. "he's fine, but he definitely misses you. He's getting lazy without you running him up and down the beach all day."

Alex: Alex smiled listening to Toby the laughed at his quickness. "Aww, I wish I had a pet to run with at the beach! I saw other people doing it whenever I lived near the beach a couple times but I never could get a pet," She said remembering all of the people she saw at the beach with their dogs and sometimes even cats.

OOC: Night!

River: River jumped slightly as Max's father came over and put his hand on Max's shoulder. She watched as they talked, she couldn't help it. She wanted to know what they were saying but couldn't hear them, she had never seen Max look so surprised before, what had her father said to her. As he hugged her she got more confused. she forced herself to look away from them.

Toby: Toby smiled "well, you'll have one for the summer" he said smiling at his parents.

Toby: Toby smiled "well, you'll have one for the summer" he said smiling at his parents.

Alex: Alex grinned and did a small dance while sitting. "Oh my gosh! This summer just got ten times better!" She said happily.

Andrea: Andrea smiled at Alex glad she was so happy.

Toby: Toby laughed and pulled out his phone to show Alex some picture of Zeus but he froze as he pushed a button and the screen lit up, The screen read "new txt message from-Megan" he stayed frozen phone in hand without opening the message.

Alex: Alex continued to smile until she saw Toby freeze. She furrowed her eyebrows confused until she noticed his phone in hand and leaned over wanting to know what had bothered him. Seeing the screen she looked up at Toby before sitting back straight and nudged him slightly trying to un freeze him.

Toby: Toby shook his head, now unfrozen but still stared at the phone in confusion. It had been months since he had talked to his sister, and even then she never texted him.

Andrea: Andrea looked at her son "Toby what is it?" she asked.

Toby: Toby answered slowly "Megan texted me" the confusion in his voice apparent.

Alex: Alex raised a questionable eyebrow. "Are you going to open the message?" She asked cautiously.

 

[disneygirl520]

Alex: Alex raised a questionable eyebrow. "Are you going to open the message?" She asked cautiously.

Toby: Toby looked at Alex as if the thought hadn't occurred to him yet. "yeah, I guess I should" he slid his thumb across the screen opening the message. The screen read *hey little brother, just wanted to say I'm really sorry I couldn't make it today. Something came up. But I really wanted to say that I miss, that I love you, and that sometime when you have time we need to catch up. Sorry I've been so busy lately. * Toby smiled as he finished the message he felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He used his thumbs to quickly text back *hey, it's so good to hear from you. I love you and miss you too, when I get home we'll have to catch up. *
