Gippal groaned as the pillow slammed into his face. He shifted his head slightly to have the pillow fall off and slowly opened one eye. It was Eva in front of him, if it was Urick who did it he would get a massive paw grabbing his shirt and shaking him. "Do you mind? I was having a good dream." He sighed as he slowly sat up and swung his legs off the couch onto the floor. 

"It's time to get up sleepy head. Or you will be late for your game." Eva said sweetly. 

Nodding he stood up and stretched, making his way towards the bathroom. It only took him a few minutes to freshen up, but while he did he wondered what he was going to say to Naishia with out getting his head fried. He made his way back to the main room and looked at the clock. He should have enough time to talk to Nai before hand if he made it over to her house right now. "Alright lets go." 

Eva nodded and picked up her staff, and as they opened the door they found themselves facing reporters and teenage girl fans. After a moment of realization the crowd blew up in an uproar. Bombarding them with questions, enough that Gippal slammed the door and cursed under his breath. He moved towards Uricks room and opened the door. He was already gone, [i]probably doing his work out. [/i] he thought to himself before opening his window. 

"Ummmmmmmmm...." Eva looked at Gippal with a queer look. "What are you doing? Why don't we just go through the front door?" 

Gippal slipped one leg through. "It'll take forever for us to get through that crowd. Especially if they are thinking what they are right now." He slipped his other leg through and hopped down. He then lifted his hands back to the window to help her out. After a moment of her thinking it she climbed through as well. "Does this happen often for you?" She asked. 

"Uh...no not really. I mean climbing out of my window yeah but not with this situation." He said with an awkward smile. 

Eva's feet touched the ground and looked up at him with a blank stare for a moment. Suddenly it was as if a light bulb clicked. She placed her hands over her mouth and asked "They think we....?!?" He only nodded and she turned beat red. Instead of talking of it further she quickly replied "I gotta go meet Saina..." With that she hurried towards the temple. 

Gippal shook his head. He only hoped Nai wouldn't hear the rumor before he got to her. With that thought he started jogging towards Nai's home. He reached it fairly quickly but when he knocked on it he didn't get an answer. She must have already headed for the Stadium, and her parents were gone as well. He then ran towards the Stadium, But when he reached the front it was packed with people coming to get their seats. He didn't want to deal with stopping and giving people autographs and lose time to talk to Nai so he ran to the side of the front doors and into a corner at which he jumped, using the two walls of the corner to propell himself upwards to the second level. Just barely grabbing the ledge he pulled himself over. He could have used the side entrance but that was the opposite side of the team lobby. 

He continued to run, weaving in between people un till he reached the stairs. He then jumped and landed on the middle railing, sliding down until it ran out and as he hit the floor he slid to a stop when he saw Alex walk into the lobby to change and Nai infront of the rooms. He quickly made his way over and said, "Hey...Nai I need to talk to you about last night..."

Urick sat mediating infront of the temple. He knew Gippal would be too busy to escort Eva around, so he had gotten up early to do his workout route, Which had included multiple martial art forms, and now his meditation. He sat under the tree and listened to the waves below. That of the ocean and also the waves of crowds making  their way towards the Stadium. His armor also laid infront of him neatly, also cleaned, polished and oiled.
