Thorn Island

*We could have a sort of fight for love between Ichigo and Cheza, what do you think?*

Acorn saw Ichigo put a hand over her mouth. Acorn smiled.
"Shall we go?" he asked.

**You think real highly of your self, dontcha?**

Ichigo nodded. She was unable to talk with fear of laughing.
She walked out of Acorn's garden and actually had to lean against a lamp post and take a few deep breaths. Holding in all that laughter was making her feel a little sick.

**Not really actually. I don't think I'm sexy, so...yeah**

Acorn looked disapprovingly at Ichigo.
"What's so funny?" he asked.

**Yeh, whatever. Just reply**

Ichigo stood up straight, wiped the smile from her face and looked at him.
"What're we doing first when we get there?" She asked.

**. We should wait for DQ**

Acorn then thought.
"Have a drink and then mingle," he suggested.

**Yeh**

"Drink ..." She mused. "I'm gonna try some vodka. Been a while since I had vodka."

Acorn nodded and turned to Cheza.
"How about you? Drink or mingle?"

Ichigo looked in the direction of the Festival. There was alot of people there. She hated crowds almost as much as she hated strange houses.
"Acorn," She whimpered. "I can't do this. I - I'm going to the lake!" She turned to run away.

"Ichigo, come back!" he yelled after her.

*Sorry Im late...
Name: Parsley
Age: 15
Hair/Eyes: Silver/green
Personality: Quiet, shy, introverted.*
Parsley swam in the lake, enjoying the water on her body. So peaceful, so quiet.

He sighed and then turned to look at Cherry.
"Shall we go?" he asked.

Ichigo made her way through the forest, up the tree, through the tunnel, down the hill and fell to her knees next to the water's edge. She was breathing deeply, but not from running so far. She really had paniced.
She looked up and was suprised to see someone in the water. She didn't know anyone else knew about the lake.

Parsley bobbed her head under the water. She did not want to be seen.

Mist couldn't see anyone. Just a trick of the moonlight ...
She put her hand in the water and swirled the water.
"I'm sorry." She whispered to the lake. "I tried. But I can't stand crowds." There was a soft tinkling of reasurence (sp?).

"I don't like crowds either..." Parsley replied softly. She was new to the island, and noone knew her yet.

Mist looked at the water again. There was that girl.
"Hello." She muttered. "I'm Ichigo. Who are you?"

"Parsley. Don't laugh. I'm new here." Parsley said simply.

"I won't laugh. And welcome to the island." Ichigo smiled. "Do you like the lake? She says she likes you. If you listen hard enough and try your best to understand, she talks to you. Has she talked to you yet?"

"No. I listen to the wind. It tells me many things." Parsley replied. She hauled herself out, displaying her useless leg. She had been attacked by a Rhinocerous. Now, it was ripped, and scarred.

*Rhinocerous?*

Cheza srugd and went after the ohers, she dint want to drik or mingle evry, most peple wernt very socible anyway. she went to the lake and saw ichigo with a new girl.

*I don't know!*
Parsley glanced up onto the shore. She saw another girl, and slid quietly into the water.

*lol we tniy pepl that use flower for cloths, a rinoorus wold flatn you! *

Cheza just sterd and waved slitly eging closer to the woter. "he..helo?" she stutrd. the shook her head "Im cheza" she sad agan more confdtly.

Acorn sighed and went after the two girls.
Why did I have to get stuck with those two as friends? he thought to himself. He then saw a new girl.
"Hello," he greeted.

Ichigo glanced back at Cheza and Acorn. She was a little ashamed of herself.
"What are you two doing here?" She asked. "And the girl under water ... I think she's shy." She didn't mentioned Parsley's name to them. She might not want them to know.

"nothing" cheza reply "look, it ok if you afrai of crouds, i use to" Cheza stoped and went to the woter not wating to elaborate n the subjet
