[IC] Fractions: A New Age

James stood up and wiped his tears away, "Your right." James took in a shaky breath, "Jacob would want me to be happy, he would want that for me." James knelt down and hugged hope, "Thank you girl." Hope wagged her tail and licked his face, "Yeah I'm gonna be okay Hope." James smiled at Nessie, "Sure...I mean...If anyone can find air...Its me."

[MarshiestMallow]

Nessie smiled brightly, "g-g-great!" She said happily, feeling better then what she had before. "l-l-lets s-see if we c-c-can j-just go out the d-d-door we c-c-c-came in" She suggested, glancing about, seeing how close they were to her dorm room, "Were you t-t-trying to f-f-find m-me?" She asked, opening the door slightly to check on Caroline. "Y-you know, b-before you p-passed out?"

[TheLastRunaway]

She huffed and decided that she wasn't going to pout and got off the couch. "I guess I can meet your sister." She said sheepishly as she pushed the hair behind her ear nervously and soon looked down. "I really don't want to meet her like this." She whimpered as she patted the sweater around her waist. "There has to be a place for girls to get clothes in here."

[chukklehed]

Alex laughed and patted her head. "Hold on, I think I might be able to do something about that after all." holding his hands out in front of him, he closed his eyes and concentrated. After a moment there was a shockwave without sound, and he was holding a pair of lacy white panties. "Oh," he said, "I meant to make them plain. Well, I guess it's about the same. Here."

James nodded slowly, "I tried to call out to you...but i hit the floor before i could." He smiled a little, "If not we can always try for the roof...I'm sure Z would understand." James pet hope lovingly, "So...Do we wanna bring anyone else with us to try and find outside?"

[TheLastRunaway]

She couldn't help but laugh but took the paties and ran in to the bathroom to put them on. "Still... I need new clothes Alex. I may have to leave for a bit to find some." She said with a serious tone knowing she would be able to sneak out that night to find clothing for herself, she could not live in his sweaters.

[MarshiestMallow]

"I t-t-think C-c-carolines asleep and I j-j-just seem to m-make a m-mess w-w-with everyone e-else" Nessie said shrugged, starting to walk

[chukklehed]

Alex grinned at her. "Well do you think that's enough to go see my sister? I can always Flare us out later to go shopping."

Caroline grumbled as she opened the door. "Why is there a party outside our dorm Nessie? Also what time is it?"

[TheLastRunaway]

She tucked her hair behind her ear tried to hide her uncomfortableness and nodded sheepishly. "I guess it's okay."

James Smiled brightly, "Not everyone." James started floating off the ground using air to push himself up, "If we find outside...Do you wanna go flying?" James smiled, "I think I'm getting over my fear of heights." Hope wagged her tail and barked as she followed the two of them. Just then Nessies dorm opened and Carol looked out, "Hey there Miss piano."

[MarshiestMallow]

"Oh!" Nessie turned to Caroline and smiled, "S-s-sorry for m-making so m-much noise. I t-think its m-m-morning s-s-sometime, did you s-s-s-sleep well?"

She turned back to James, "T-t-thats g-g-great, b-but h-how can I f-f-fly?"

[makarov]

James just shrugged, "I'll carry you." James smiled a big bright smile, "If you've never flown before its something you'll love." Hope looked at Carol and wagged her tail back and forth excitedly.

[MarshiestMallow]

"O-okay" Nessie said, nervously. She smiled at Hope, and said, "I t-t-t-think she w-w-wants you to p-pat her C-Carol" She said, still smiling

[chukklehed]

Alex put his hands on her shoulder from behind and leaned down to whisper in her ear. "By the way, you look adorable when you're flustered." And immediately Flared to Caroline's dorm. Seeing more than two people there, Alex blinked. "Hello. What's going on?"

---

Caroline scratched her neck and yawned, obviously not caring how she looked doing it. "I slept alright I guess. Anyway what's ha-" She was cut off by her brother's sudden appearance along with a girl who looked vaguely familiar. "Brother? Why are you here?"

[MarshiestMallow]

"N-n-nothings g-g-going on" Nessie said, shrugging, "J-j-james w-w-was j-j-just going to show me s-s-s-some f-f-f-flying" she said

[makarov]

James jumped back at full speed his encounters with Viper before having kicked in his instincts. When he realized it was safe he stepped back forward, "Sorry about that...Just a bit paranoid is all." When he saw Nyx he waved, "Hey whats up?" He didn't know the guy but he waved at him any way, "Hello."

[TheLastRunaway]

Nyx covered her face from his embarrassing comment and once she pulled her hands away she jumped back in to Alex's torso. "I thought.." She thought that only cosmics could teleport. She blinked at the people in the room and quickly retreated her eyes when she saw Nessie in the room, still embarrassed for trying to be her friend. Nyx looked back up to look at the boy who waved to her and smiled back with a wave.

[MarshiestMallow]

Nessie let out a sigh, and wrinkled her face in concerntration, she began to speak slowly, clearly trying hard not to stutter as she said, "I'm r-really s-sorry for seeming to h-hate you. I don't. I just s-seem to make a m-mess of things. Please, f-forgive me" She said to the girl she had constantly seemed to hurt

[TheLastRunaway]

Nyx turned her body towards Alex as if he would protect her and still avoided eye contact. "It's okay." She said shyly.

[chukklehed]

Alex put a hand on Nyx's shoulder, squeezing it reassuringly. Looking at the boy with the dog, he held out his hand. "Hello, I don't think I've had the pleasure. Name's Alex, I'm Caroline's older brother and a teacher here." Then he looked at Caroline. "Actually we came over for Nyx to meet Caroline."

---

Caroline smiled and held a hand out to Nyx. She suddenly realized why the girl looked so familiar, but kept quiet. She might bring it up if she and Nyx were alone some time.
