Some beach fun!!(Xian)

[taru]

Taru ran to the beach with his ipod on his arm, backpack filled with towels and a parasol under his arm, since he didn't want to get busted by the police again, he ran all the way from his house to the beach, but he had plenty of fluids, he brought water in his backpack as well. He started the run early in the morning so he wouldn't get there late. He finally arrived at the beach and started looking around. It wasn't that crowded, maybe 15-25 people the most around the place. Taru pulled out one towel and layed it on the beach and propped up the parasol. Taru was wearing swiming shorts that went to his knees and had black stripes on them. Two stripes, and the shorts themselves were blue. He lied on the mat listening to his ipod. Taru was listening to "Sanctuary" a very calming song for him. Taru took a few sips from one of the water bottles and looked up at the sky without a care in the world.

[Tong Xian Tian]

Xian was having a lovely day. She had not been in San Fransisco for very long and still had much to learn, so for teh past few days, she travelled around and got to learn things about her new environment. The young Chinese girl already learned about the stores and parks and most important, the sport center. But today, she wanted to have a little fun at the wonderful beach this city had to offer. Sure, she was alone, but she didn't care. Xian needed to practice her strokes and other little fancy tricks, so she prefered to be there without any friends around so that she wouldn't be embarrassed if she screwed up. So this was for the best.

She had been there all morning, dressed in her little red, chinese-ish bikini. It was her favourite and the one she had since she was in Varron. So she kept it safe for all that time, even though soon enough she woudl have to buy a new one soon enough. But it would have to do for now.

It was a few hours later, and she was still there, but now a few more people came to enjoy the beach also and Xian decided it was time to take a break and get out of the water. She would return in afterwards.

While walking towards her bag with her clothes, towels, sunscreen and more, she noticed that a young man had sat beside it. Xian smilled, knowing clearly that this was her time to get to know him. He seemed kind anyway, so why not?

Reaching into her bag, body bended down, she gragged her towel and placed it gently down, taking another one to dry off her body. After it was all dried up, she sat down, not really minding that her hair was still damp and causing her to get wet again. Xian then looked towards the young boy.

"Hey! I'm new here." she started. "Are you new here also, or are you a local?" she asked.

She then cocked her head to teh side in curiousity to what he'd respond, her dark brown eyes never leaving him.
"I'm Tong Xian Tian, please call me Xian, and you are?" she asked, lifting her arm at him so he would shake her hand.

[taru]

Taru took off his music after seeing the beautiful asian girl in her swim suit next to him. Taru looked at her for a few moments and smiled at her.

"Hi. My name's Taru. Pleasure to meet you. "

Taru grabbed her hand and shook it, then realized she asked ,"Are you new here also, or are you local?" He laughed because he moved here when he was 6 so he was pretty familliar.

"I guess I'm local. So what brings a pretty girl like you to here?"

Taru smiled at the asian girl. By her name he reasoned she was some sort of chinese. Taru decided to take a closer look at Xian. She was really gorgeous and she seemed very kind. By seeing how damp she was, she probaly just got out of the water or something. She was still damp so he took out another towel for her and put it out to her for her to grab. Throwing it would make him seem lazy. With one arm out holding the towel, Taru added in.

"Would you like something to drink? I have water in my pack, but I can go to the little juice bar right over there."

Taru waited for her response and for her to take the towel. He didn't know why he's being so polite to her, but I guess hes that away around beautiful women, single or not. So he just closed his eyes and smiled like ^_^ waiting for her to respond to his questions and to take the towel.

[Tong Xian Tian]

"I'm glad to meet you also." she said closinng her eyes and smilling.

Xian then shook his hand and nodded as he said that he was a local and asking what brought her in San Fransisco. But she was a little afraid to talk about it. The Asian girl had heard from some people on how the Hicinians hated the Varronites, so telling him where she came from woud maybe make him hate her. But she would not lie or change the subject. If he was a kind guy who wanted to be her friend, then he would accept her past. Plus she was a kind Varronite. Xian had only caused trouble in her old school, but once she entered Varron, she straigthened up and acted like a good little girl.

"Well....ummm....I came here because my old school called Varron Academy was closed down. Then most of the students came here in San Fransisco to go to Hircine instead. But I haven't even entered the school yet. I've been busy getting my new apartment all set up." she explained.

Xian then blinked a few times with her dark eyes as she saw the towel being handed over to her. She smilled and took it.
"Thank you." she softly said drying her hair a little more and wipping around her neck, chest and her back, all the places her hair got wet again. Her hair DID go all the way to under her butt, so it was really long.

"Hmm? Oh sure! Water would be great! I prefer water, it's healthier anyway." she said waiting for him to get the water, obviously too shy to get it herself. Plus she didn't want to seem like she liked to look through other people's things. Plus, even there she didn't understand why she said what she said about water. Sure it was healthier but Xian was not on a diet and never had been. The Chinese girl ate more then teh average man and yet never gained a pound because of the fact that she always moved and had exercise. But it did not matter. Water was good anyway.

[taru]

Taru took a water bottle out of his backpack and handed it to Xian. He also noticed her long hair which kept getting her wet. Taru took another towel, a smaller one and gently grabbed her hair probaly alerting her and twisted it slightly making lots of water ooze out.

"Hope you don't mind."

Taru felt embarassed but he just wanted to help Xian out. Taru made sure her hair was dry and put the wet towel onto his towel and not hers to be polite and felt really embarassed now so he just looked at her again and smiled nervously.

"Um...You want something to eat. If not we can go swim right now.."

[Tong Xian Tian]

Xian watched carefully, her curiousity always making her so alert about the smallest of situations, as Taru took out a water bottle. Xian happily took it, opening it almost as soon as it was handed to her and gulped a good amount down easily. And then suddenly as she screwed the cap back unto her water bottle, her hair was grasped by Taru. Xian felt the slight tug as she moved her head closer to his, shocked and confusion filling her. But as soon as her hair was twisted up and the water came out, she understood and she laughed a little as she felt the relief of her hair being lighter. With all that hair, a lot of water could easily get caught in there and what he did helped a lot.

"Thanks." she laughed some more. "Don't mind at all. Feels much better now." she added, brushing her hair with her fingers.
But what made her laugh even more was the fact that the towel he used to squeeze the water out of her hair was now soaking wet. "Sorry about that." she laughed some more.

And then the question about food came up. Not smart. At that instint Xian actually thought about it carefully and was actually very hungry, she barely had time to eat at all in the morning. But she didn't want to eat in front of him, not with her appetite, that's for sure. So she had to ignore her rumbling tummy for a bit and convince him to go into the water.

"Nah. Let's swim." But at that instint, her stomach growled pretty loud and she knew that she could not ignore it any longer. "Okay, let's eat. I don't think I should fight with my stomach anyway."

Xian then moved onto all fours and crawled over to her small bad, reaching into it and taking out her little pink wallet, taking out two $20 bills. This should be enough money to buy all the food she would need to fill her stomach up.
She then stood and looked towards him, waiting for him to stand up also and walk with her to the snackbar.
"Shall we go?"

[taru]

Taru smiled and pushed her hand down and shook his head.

"Let me buy."

Taru got up and yawned. A nice little snack before swimming would help. He would have to digest but its fine. He got to spend more time with Xian. Xian was just a friend but a friend that Taru thoght, in due time, he'll be friends with her for a long time. He didn't know why he had that feeling but whatever.

Taru walked forward a little waiting for Xian. He wanted to buy Xian food too. He would not let her pay for him or herself. Or if she was just paying for herself. Still he wouldn't let her. He waited patiently and to help his patiences observed her some more. She truly was a beautiful girl. He knew that she had a boyfriend. Beautiful women like her bound to have one. Taru isn't having such great luck. But he has to deal with it. Taru strives on.

"Let's go."

[Tong Xian Tian]

Her hand was pushed down and Xian looked at him confused as he shook his head. All she hoped was that he would not ask to pay for her. Xian ate way too much and would cost him so much money. Plus she was rich and had plenty of money to waste, so she didn't need him to pay for her, but of course he did not know that about her, they did just meet after all. Plus not everyone knew about her fortune in the bank. But of course, he said he'd pay for her which made her sweatdrop.

"No no! I eat WAY too much! I'll pay for myself, I'll cost you too much money. Plus, I have lots of money so I don't mind to pay for myself. I have to waste some of it somehow." she insisted. "Really."

Xian then nodded, not leaving the money behind since she did really want to pay for herself and thus she woud make sure of that.
Xian walked off with him to the little potato stand that sold the food to the public. The young Chinese girl looked at what they were selling, and all seemed so good! But she didn't want to eat too much, so she only ordered a few things.

"Umm, excuse me! I would like to order!" she said to the cook/cashier.

"Yes m'am, what will it be?" he asked.

"Uhh....I would like two hotdogs, three burgers and a large fry!" she exclaimed happily at her 'small' order.

"You want a family discount?"

"Family discount??? But I'm eating alone......" she asked confused.

"Wha-? But you're a little girl! You can't eat all that??!"

"Yes, I can. That's nothing really...." she said cocking her head to the side.

"Well......okay....whatever you say...." he said, calculating how much it would cost. "That'll be $16.75"

Xian handed over a $20 bill and got her change.

"You ordering too kid?" he asked the boy.

[taru]

Taru looked at Xian with a face with a sort of an angry expression then sighed. So taru smiled then looked at the cook/cashier. And thought to himself,"No way in hell I'm letting her pay. NO WAY IN HELL >!!!"

"Please give back her twenty please."

The cashier did what he said still with a confused look on his face and still very puzzled and said.

"What you paying for her kid?"

Taru looked at him funny and laughed.

"Yeah I am. I would like a cheese burger, and larges fries please."

The man man looked at him strangley and sighed.

"That'll be 3.10$"

Taru gave the man a 20 and a 5 and there he waited with Xian for thier food. The man gave Taru his changed while he stood next to Xian.

"Ya see? I'm paying"

Taru gave Xian her twenty and smiled at her while he waited.

[Kazuki Akimoto]

No. Damned. Emote. Expression. In. Post.

-sigh- Last time you're getting warned, Xae. Describe your damned expressions, it's not rocket science.

[taru]

ooc:Yes Taiku sir.

[Tong Xian Tian]

OOC: (Peh....Writter's block.......))

"Taru!" Xian yelled. She was now a bit annoyed. The girl was a capable woman and could pay for herself! She had even given her money and everything, happy at first but then he asks to give her money back? Oh no he didn't! Xian was not happy at all. She had too much money to begin with, why not let her waste a bit of cash?? It won't kill the poor little rich girl.
But even with those thoughts, she said nothing. She just glared at him when he looked away and smilled when he looked again, enough to convince anyone she was happy for what he did even though she wasn't. So her money was returned and placed in her bikini bottom strap, having no where else to place the $40.

"Haha, yeah." she said faking a smile and waiting for her food. After a good ten to fifteen minutes, it was done and Xian was given a tray with her lunch. All that food was nothing to her and would be gobbled up with no problems, but at least it filled a good part of her tummy.

"Thank you." she told the cook, walking away to where she was sitting with Taru.

When she got there, Xian placed the food down on her towel and sat down herself, firstly placing her money back into her bag. After that, she watched to see if he was comming also. When he was there, Xian began to eat happily, loving every bite she took.

'Mmmmm......I love potato stand food!' she thought.

[taru]

Taru was amazed how much the girl was eating and still kept her body in such beautiful shape. Taru smiled and took a bite of his cheese burger. The food was pretty good especially for a potato stand. Taru ate some of his fries and took a look at Xian who had food for atleast 7 or 6 people. Taru sighed with his eyes clothes and took another bite into his burger. Taru stopped chewing to look at Xian. This girl he just met today. She's so beautiful, and still she eats a crap load of food. Her boyfriend is beyond lucky. . Taru sighed and rolled his neck. Taru noticed Xian had food all over her face. Taru ran back to the potato stand and got some napkins and came back to the spot where he and Xian were. Taru took a napkin and wiped some of the food off Xian's face then smiled before taking another bite into his burger.
