It looked so realistic

[Takato]

Takato was out in the grasslands. He was taking a cat nap you could say. It was that time of day where the town was rustling with kids playing cowboys and indians. Or people passing through the town. So here he was out in the peaceful quiet, Getting his sleep in. Takato stayed up very late last night. For no reason in particular, Only because it was simply one of those nights where you cant sleep. Though even now in the peaceful quiet, he still was restless. His paws were twitching in his sleep.

He was having a dream that he was running. Hunting in other words. Hunting in his form of the lion. Chasing his prey down. Takato was gaining speed only a few inches away from his prey when suddenly the ground disappears? The whole scenario went black and Takato was suddenly falling. But into what? Of all things to fall in it was a huge pool of water!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" He yelled waking up from his nightmare. Takato huffed and puffed. His paw was now on his heart. For that dream just nearly gave him a heart attack. Takato looked around, He found himself in the grasslands. And that's where he liked it. The only pool of water that was anywhere near, was the drinking hole. Which was a few miles away.

"God what a nightmare" He grunted to himself. Takato then suddenly heard a snap in the distant. Instead of calling out 'who goes there' Takato got low to the ground. Blending in with the ground. Takato started to crawl towards the sound and a small growl.

Takato pounced on the source of the sound. Pinning them to the ground. Only to see that it was.....

[open]

[Syani]

"AAAHHHH!! ..Eh...? ...Taka-chan...?" A certain golden-eyed maiden stares back up at Takato's feline ones. She's been wondering why nothing exploded after she's been pinned down, but now she knows. Syani had labeled Takato as someone familiar in her mind, and her telekinesis sort of recognized him so as to not normally react when being pinned down like this...even when in his lion form.

"TAKA-CHAAAAAN~!!!!" Syani squealed, now with more emphasis than her earlier one, enough to burst an eardrum or two. She had just warped herself from being sandwiched in between Kida and Zeph after all...and just unknowingly transported herself in the grassland. 'Maybe I still have their scent on me...'

Just as she started to walk around, the twig under her boot snapped in two, and before she knew it, a brother-figure emerged in front of her face....literally too. "Taka-chan! Taka-chan! Wow, I missed you! Where have you been?!" The half-vampire then continue to clasp her palms onto Takato's face and took her time playing around with his poor lion mane.

"Dude!!! You're so OLD now!"

[Takato]

Takato looked at the young girl he had pinned to the ground. Like her, It happened all so fast that Takato didn't even realize that it was Syani of all people. "Syani....?" He said after her. For a moment he didn't even recognize her. But the second time she yelled out his name He knew it was her. One only her would call him 'Taka-chan'. The second Takato got released her, was the second she started to play with his main. Takato grunted as she continued to do so.

"Where have I been? I've been a little here, a little there, but mostly here, where have you' been?" He asked her. He's been up and down these parts and havn't seen the lights of her for the past two years. He almost thought she vanished or something. It was very unlikely for her to go unseen or unheard. Syani is always causing mischief of some kind. Hell it was Takato to rebuild the Green Cab. It was only after he finished that he found out it was Syani's doing.

"Well... If I'm old, then you're almost there too, You're not that much younger than me" He teased. Takato then turned back into his human form, with his legs crossed and his hands on his knees. He then gave her his traditional greeting. Locking her head in his arms giving him a nookie! "That'll teach YOU of all people to call me old!" Hell he didn't even know her real age. She was a vampire, its not like it was out of the ordinary for someone like her to be a couple hundred years old. but then again, Everyone has to start somewhere right?

[Syani]

"Where I've been? Gosh, I don't even know! I kept popping in and out of places I've never known of!" While still playing with the lion's mane, Syani explained with such energy, it's impossible for anyone to look away from her and her wondrous eyes. She discovered her transportation ability very recently...and without any control, the half-vampire just kept warping and warping. Now she had sort of mastered the on-off switch button.....only.

When Takato morphed back into his human form, the black-haired pulled her hands away from his dissappearing mane. "Hey, hey! I didn't say you're old, I just assume you LOOK old! Since you kinda do." Pulling down an eyelid, Syani then sticks out her tongue at her brother-figure as he placed his hands on his knees.

That is...until he greeted her with the exact same way they first met years ago. A headlock, complete with a noogie too. "ACK!! Hey, NO, stop!! Let go, Taka-chan! Ahahahahah!" Syani tried to let out as her head was tightly secured in Takato's arm and her long black hair is now all messy and frizzy by his continuous random noogie. "Dude! Ew, come on, lion pit!! It's both mushy AND icky!"

She said the exact same thing from the first time she received the gesture from the same person who first attacked her with it, while trying hard to break free. "For the love of...haven't you taken a shower since the LAST time you did this to me?!" And being a sort of sister to him, she feels it necessary to say things like that to annoy Takato.

[Takato]

But of course Takato wasn't annoyed very easily. Yes he showered, but on a day like this where it is hot and sunny and you have nothing but fur all around you of course he was going to sweat a little. Just Syani was exaggerating Takato didn't stink that bad. "Random tele porting? Well then I guess I dont have to ask you what you're doing here"

Takato laughed as she struggled to get free. It amused him, she was just like the little bratty sister she always has been. "Nope, I saved the sweat and smell just for you" He gave her a harder noogie. Of course he lied. Takato would never get laid if he didn't at least do that much.

Takato then released syani from his grip. He only laughed as she gasped for air. Syani's misery seemed to be Takato's entertainment. "So Syani, keeping out of trouble today?" He asked surprised there wasn't a mob already chasing after her.

[Syani]

Syani immediately gasped for sweet fresh air the moment she was released from the attack of the armpit. His first question made her swiveled to Takato with an eyebrow raised in a 'You-kidding?' manner.

"Nah, I'm too fast for trouble now. It'll catch up to me soon." She grinned, brandishing her fangs as she did. "Actually, I got sandwiched in between Kida and Zephel just now before I transported here. You know them?" The half-vampire started a topic, crossing her legs on the soft grass to sit there comfortably.

[Takato]

Takato laughed did he know them. well he didnt' really know zeph, but he DID know Kida, and very well might he had. Hell, he's even chasing after her! of all things. "Kida yes, Zeph, Not so much" He then thought of the name. He remembers hearing it alot in class, but never actually meeting the guy.

"Who is he?" He asked her curiously.

[Syani]

Syani shrugged her shoulders, not really knowing the guy all too well. She had seen Zephel a few times back at school, but he's always frowning that she found herself steering clear of him often. "I don't know, just some important guy with the Weyr for all I heard about."

Though, its easy to see the guy is a total hothead just now. "Hah, doesn't matter. As long as he doesn't make me explode things." The half-vampire grinned, when a thought suddenly struck her. "Hey, hey! Have you heard of the Green Cab I exploded?! Dude, that's like the biggest thing I ever destroyed."

[Takato]

Takato looked at Syani with very wide eyes. "That was YOU" Takato said shocked. He should've figured when no one really had an explination on to how it blew up. All he knew that it was just blown up. Not caused by fuses, the place was organic! Takato slapped his forehead. He didn't know why he didn't think of syani before. Remembering the time in the store when people were chasing them down and limes were exploding... everywhere.

"Yeah and guess who had to rebuild it" Takato said with a mischievous smirk on his face. Yes, It was Takato that rebuilt the green cab. He had gotten some serious money off of that. He continued to stare her down with an 'im-gonna-get-you-back' face.

[Syani]

"Of course that was me!" Syani proudly confirms it, straightening up her spine as if it's a very good deed she had done. The half-vampire's grin falters as Takato hinted that he's the one who had to rebuild it back into a building.

"H-hey!" The raven-haired tries to back herself up when Takato stared her down. She doesn't like to feel guilty like this, so the only way to avoid it is to keep saying that she's innocent. "I didn't blow it up on purpose, you know! Sasuke started it!"

[Takato]

Takato raised an eyebrow. "Sasuke...?" Now Takato was confused. Why would Sasuke blow up- His train of thoughts were stopped when he realized just who we're talking about here. Syani and Sasuke. Yeah he could totally see how green cab was exploded in the process. Takato had never seen the two interact with each other, but knowing the two he could see how things would become rocky. Essecially after seeing what he almost did when he met Saphira. Takato put a han on his forehead.

Suddenly Takato was glad he wasn't there that day when it blew up. But wait a second here. Something dosn't sound right. "How did Sasuke start it exactly." From what he could tell, Sasuke didn't start things... he finished them. In this case it was the oposite from what he could tell. Sasuke started it and Syani finished it? Something was very wrong here. Or maybe they were talking about different Sasukes? Yeah! That could be it. But how often did you hear the name Sasuke? Takato sat there puzzled for a moment while he waited to hear Syani's side of the story.

[Syani]

"Yes Sasuke! Do you know him??" Syani pressed her palms on the grassy ground as she leaned forward to Takato with large eyes. She waited for his answer, but it never came, and according to how the half-kitty puts a hand on his forehead, Syani creased her eyebrows. She was about to ask Takato a question, when...

"Uhh..." Takato had beaten her to it. The half-vampire sat back while looking away with her hands busy playing with the grass in front of her. How could she FORGET that embarrassing moment, but that was totally accidental! She planned to go to her Telepathy teacher, Mr. Reinhardt, to ask him to delete that particular memory off of her head, but she always forgot to.

"W-well, it's a funny story, actually! Hahah!" There was a tone of unmistakable nervousness flowing through her voice. And after a moment, she tries to start the story slowly. "Uhm...do you remember...back at the grocery store when we first met? Can you recall, what made the limes exploded and raining all over us?"

[Takato]

Takato raised an eyebrow at her. Oh he remembered the grocery store incidence as if it were yesterday. That was the day he decided he would act as the brother figure and protect her from all kinds of 'mushy' actions placed upon her. But Sasuke making mushy actions to a girl? That almost seemed impossible. Takato raised his eyebrow at Syani. Now he was truly curious. The story didn't fit.

"Like it was yesterday, But the Sasuke I know, would never do anything like that" He continued as he looked at Syani. Maybe they were talking about a different Sasuke?

[Syani]

"Hey, I still couldn't believe Sasuke's like that either." Syani stated out her point, and then approached the topic through a third person view, which is the best way since it support neither Syani nor Sasuke's part of the story. "B-but I'm sure it was all accidental, Taka-chan. Everything happened so fast, and the last thing I know we're both pinned to the ground with slabs of walls above us."

She nodded, almost in approving her own sentence, then grinned sheepishly. "I got him out, and some kid came with this huge red dragon, and said that Sasuke's a prince before throwing me into jail." She finished her story with a clasp of her hands.

"The end~!"

[Takato]

Takato believed every part of that story until the part where she mentioned Sasuke was a prince. His eye's grew wide as he looked at syani. There was no way in hell that SASUKE was a prince. He acted nothing like a prince, atleast not the Sasuke Takato knew. Maybe it was a dream. One like Takato was just having himself. One that felt so real? Yeah thats what it had to be. Or maybe a figment of her imagination. Takato chuckled as Syani got to the end of her story. "You've got some imagination" He continued to laugh.

It was then it hit her. A cover up story for putting everyone in a coma. Of course she wouldn't be able to get away with a 'he looked at me' excuse so she had to come up with a story. It was an entertaining one though. Or atleast to Takato that is.
