She noticed he didn't seem to care. She then finished getting what was on the list and then purchased it.
No Blake he is just a friend, he doesn't even like me like that. But I am at least glad to have his friendship. I don't even know how to start looking for a guy. Darin approached me. What do I do? I want him to get to know me before I have the foal. Lexus just walked outside while Blake was still looking at stuff. She wet across the street, slightly sad.
____
Once back Inoth bowed his head. "Do you wish me to try and get clearance to leave?" He asked.
____
"Nah..... why are you ordering another plate?" Orb smirked.
_____
"Ouch. Remind me not to get on your bad side." He snickered.
_____
Croc snorted. "What gave you that idea?" He sighed waiting for her to walk off then he looked up at the sky. "Sorry baby. Looks like I am not coming home yet."
Blake was looking at a new saw, and he was about to inquire about it to the dude running the shop, when he noticed Lexus was gone. He frowned, and trotted after her. "Lexi? What's wrong?" He was starting to like her as more than a friend... but dumb old Blake was too stupid to realize what he was feeling. He just thought that they were close friends, but deep down, Blake wanted more.
______
"It's okay."
______
"Yeah! I'm still hungry!"
______
Poppy smirked. "Just don't act like Dominic." She was actually starting to like this guy, but not beyond friendship.
______
Rykena rolled her eyes. "Don't act like a smarta**. We're gonna be stuck with one another for Glaux knows how long. We should at least try to stand each other." She went inside the ship, and picked her way to the living quarters.
Lexus shook her head no. "I just have some burdens that I alone have to deal with. Thank you for asking." She absently picked up some veggies that she didn't have ready in the garden yet."
_____
"I am certain you can at least take a Shandor with you." Inoth mentioned.
___
Orb chuckled. "When was the last time you ate?"
_____
"I hardly know the guy... but I will try not to." Thompson chuckled.
___
He growled. "I am not trying to I am ticked okay." he found a strap then attached the ship to a boulder so it would not fall if a good wind picked up.
Blake frowned. He trudged back into the hardware store, and bought the saws.
______
"No, I'll just take Indigo with me."
______
"Two days ago. I had to do a make up shift."
______
Poppy smirked.
______
Rykena didn't hear him. She searched through the compartments for food and supplies.
Lexus hear music. Often musicians played folk music in town, but this was different It as ancient enchantas. She walked to the corned and lay on the grass at the edge of town. Others had gathered. It was the Temple Sect, a combination of Terrelian and Centaurian singers, The Khol played the instruments. Lexus say in view of the street so Blake could find her. The breeze whipped about. She smiled as the Magical tune made her relax and feel better.
______
"Alright. I can find an orphan child if you like. Then she can be with you as family." Inoth nodded.
____
"Bree gee wiz, you gotta pack some protein bars or something baby." He didn't like the sound of that.
____
Once on the ship Thompson yanked his official cloak off. "Sorry the thing makes me hot." he brought her a glass of water along with his own. "Where to boss?"
____
The ship had very little. It did have a lot of empty crates, and a few emergency packs and rations. A well as blankets.
Blake came out a bit later. He wasn't the cheery, goofy soul he'd been when they came; now, for what seemed like the first time in his life, he seemed a bit downcast.
______
Krystina nodded. "Thank you."
______
"I usually do, but I was in a rush."
______
Poppy accepted it gracefully. "You can take a seat wherever." She sat in the pilot's seat.
______
Rykena frowned. She took the blankets, and put the emergency packs on the blankets. She tied them into a little sack, and carried them out.
Lexus saw Blake. She wondered if his manner had been her fault earlier, but either ay. She didn't like to see him that way. She left her things on the grass and walked over to him. "Blake?" She put her dainty hands on his arms. "What happened to your smile?" She asked sincerely.
____
"I will meet you on the landing pad when you return. Are you leaving right away?"
___
"Mhm." Orb ordered second plates, only his was of something else.
_______
He sat in the co-pilots chair. "I like the view from here." He mentioned. "Did you hear the news about Dalamar?"
____
Croc was checking the outer compartments, prying them open with what he could. "We may be ablu to use scrap from this as a shelter. I also want the inner parts. I may be able to make something we can use."
"Nothing." Blake blinked at her dumbly. That was the first, and only, flicker of his old self shining through on his face.
______
Krystina nodded.
______
Bree ate her food.
______
"No. What happened?"
______
"Yup. I have my dagger to cut timbers with, but I don't have anything else."
"But you seem sad now.. did I make you that way?" She thought a moment. "I want to be your very good friend, after all you have done to help me. I care about you." She knew that it would have to go both ways.
____
Inoth Took her wrist and kissed the back of her hand. "Farewell."
____
"I want chocolate icecream... with nuts in it."
____
"He is King of the Light Shards.... and the Separatists Dark's have pledged loyalty to him.
___
"Okay.. well. I might be able to make a radio.. short range. but something." He yanked some circuitry.
Blake cocked his head. "I care about you too, Lexus. A lot." He was too stupid to know that it could be taken two ways.
______
*timeskip*
Krystina arrived on the new Skylix with Bree. Celestia had done a great job, no doubt... but the sight of the planet was saddening. There had once been a time when GingerCats roamed everywhere, and their buildings reached for the stars. Skylix's moons were gone, as well.
______
"I want cookies and cream!"
______
Poppy looked at him like he was crazy for a long ten seconds. Then, she closed her eyes, and exhaled with a long, big whoosh.
Lexus fidgeted a little. "You do?" she released him and strummed her fingers through her hair.
_____
Th planet was mostly ocean and the land large and rich but only a single massive tree for the plant life existed and she had not finished her last great work. Sure enough it had their parents names written in it.
____
"Okay then that is what we shall have." Orb grinned.
_____
"Yeah... exactly. I though Arthur.. I mean his 'Highness' was joking with me."
"Yeah."
______
"We're gonna have to finish this for her some day," Krystina murmured to Bree, who nodded.
"Do you need help?" Bree inquired.
"Not right now. But I will in a second." Krystina wrapped her arms around the tree, and started to climb it. She peeked around through the branches and leaves for Violet.
______
Bree giggled.
______
"I wish he was," Poppy hissed to herself.
To think that I actually liked Dalamar once. "Light creatures," she snorted. "They think they're all that."
"I knew you cared, but just didn't think it was that much.. " She admitted. "But there is something you should know.. I don't want to talk about it here, on the way home once we get to the road with less people."
_____
There were branch that sprawled out like a hand and had a hole in the middle. like an animals den. in it. a Voilet colored egg inside.
____
Orb got up and fetched the order him self. He had them pile whip cream on top. "Looky what I got." He made a happy goofy face.
____
"Nosey more than anything else.... controlling." He sighed. "You liked Dalamar? I heard he was good looking but had a knack for getting into trouble."
Blake nodded. "Okay."
______
Krystina gently grasped the egg in her palm. "I think this is it," she breathed to Bree. Her eyes shifted from green to magenta once again. Bree took the egg from Krystina, before Krystina climbed down.
______
Bree laughed as she ate her ice cream.
______
"At one point. Many, many years ago. Back when he had more than two brain cells."[/QUOTE]
