Whit whipped her head around when she heard someone call out her last name. No one else's last name was Ashford, right? It wasn't too common as far as she knew. Plus, the voice sounded extremely familiar. Then, to her surprise, she saw Emiliano standing there. "SAENZ!" she yelled back happily and ran over to give a him a big hug. "Hiiii!" Having older friends wasn't always the best thing, once they graduated you didn't see them again for the longest time. It's quite sad.

River shook his head at her. He wanted the limmers too. Not just Mr. Bear who he was still clinging to happily despite his excitement. And now she was running off on him? Where was that coming from? "Whitt!" he whimpered after her. Why was she leaving him?

So many people calling her! Whit turned around again and saw little River calling after her. "Oops." She hadn't thought about that when she saw Emiliano. "I'm sorry, River!" she said to him, genuinely sorry. Whit walked back over to him and contemplated whether he'd get mad at her for carrying him. Then again, Reese was carrying him and he didn't seem to mind. 'Here goes nothing.' She gently took him from Reese and hugged him. "I didn't mean to leave. Do you wanna go say hi to Emiliano?" She was really hoping he wouldn't kick her like he did to Keith. If anything she'd just have to find a way to get him a lemur. Then a thought hit her. "He might be able to get you a lemur." she whispered into his wittle ear.*evil* haha

He smiled as she came back and took him from Reese. He hugged her back and said, "It okay, Whit." He still had Mr. Bear on him, clinging to both him and her. And she was asking if he wanted to say hi to someone. "Yes, say hi to Emalo."

"He can get me a limmer?" His mouth open in happy amazement at that past comment. "Yes, get me a limmer!"

He Rolled his eyes playfully at her whining to stop what he was doing. Well..she got excited and didnt want to go mischievous as well. Especially in the middle of a huge camping thing. Quite understandable. But the problem was he couldnt just keep his and mind with him, seriously. Dont laugh. "Okay..okay. "he raised his hands up and surrendered. "I wont do it again untill you say yes. Better?" he grinned mischievously, knowing that it wouldnt be long last.

He chose a shady place under a big tree with the smooth bed of grass underneath. "Nice location. What do you think, Becs?" he asked and opened up the backbag to take the tent materials.

Checklist:
Flysheet, inner tent, vestibule, A groundsheet, poles, Stakes, Air vents, tent groundsheet protector, extra ropes and Hammer.

Fine..everything was ready!

"Let me do this, love" he chuckled as pulled off his half drenched Tee-shirt through his head and threw it to her before took a hammer and poles in his hands.

He rolled his eyes. Playfully or not, she wasn't having it "Hey!" she started to tell him off and then fell silent as he raised his hands up. Her eyes followed his left hand and then she nodded at his last sentence "Better" she mumbled and walked over to the shot he'd chosen "Mmmm" she nodded, watching him take out the stuff from the bag. When he told her to let him do it, she nodded again "Go ahe-" she broke off as he pulled off his t-shirt and threw it to her. She caught it and then looked around, speechless. Flattening the t-shirt out and then putting it onto her bag to dry out, she glanced up at him and mumbled to herself.

He took a glance at her as she stopped the sentence abdurptly and falttening out his Tee-shirt before put it into her bag and looking away from him. Poor girl. He shook his head and smiled, started taking measure by his foot to fix the poles. "Hey what are you mumbling about? " he grinned and raised his brows teasingly, "Help me. Are they looks square, Becs?" he asked and pointed out at the four poles as his left hand rested on the waistband of his low hip Jeans.

Karma stepped out of the tent after Emiliano, Cecilia in her arms. Wheee, fresh air. Although being in the tent with Em wasn't bad. Not at all. Fixing the hat on Cecilia's head, she looked over in the direction of Kris and Addie's tent. Ceci's bed was in there, and she remembered what Em mentioned about her sleeping with them. She'd ask when they woke up.

Hehehe. It was good to see Emiliano reunite with his friends. She stood back a little bit while she held onto Cecilia.

Air air aiiiiir! Outsiiiide! Sunshine! YAY. There were more people here too. Cecilia flapped her arms happily, and shoved her fist in her mouth, even though she was still holding onto a teething ring. Hmph!

As her gaze went between him and his shirt, a few words like 'shirtless' and 'evil' could be heard from her. When he grinned at her, she frowned "You know what I'm mumbling about" she shook her head and then looked over at him as he mentioned the poles. Not even looking at the poles, she nodded "Square enough for me" she eyed his hand that rested on his waistband. Becca looked away again and then frowned "Gotta move away" she mumbled to herself.

AWWWWWW!

His daughter was crying!

Miles had to do something, he could see Pretzel, Lima and Vannie was trying to help, but she obviously wanted a MANLY MAN dad to help her. He was fabulous afterall. BWAHA. "DADDY'S A COMIN'!" He yelled from the other side of the campsite, and finished un packing the last bag. Aaaah, it looked like home, but smaller.

Miles did a sort of fast walk/slow jog towards the crowd and crying children. Now he knew that Grace was a female herself, but it should make her giggle anyway. He picked up Gracie and nuzzled her hair. "Let's get you away from these fussy women." He chuckled.

"Come on Sweetie. Stop crying." Vanessa pleaded with her daugher as she knelt on the floor. She really could not get the little girl to stop crying. Trust River to have scared the girl.
And where on earth was Miles. He could always get Grace to stop crying. Ahh. She could hear him. She turned around to watch him come towards them, and pick their daughter up.

"Daddy to the rescue." She giggled, as she stood up, and leant up against Miles, so she could hold onto her daughters hand. "I am not fussy Miles." She shook her head with a smile. "I'm just caring for our daughter." She grinned at Grace, who seemed to be much happier now.

"DAADDY" Gracie squeaked as her daddy picked her up, and she flung her arms around his neck, giving him a odd hug, and now someone had her hand. Eeh. Mummy!
"Mummy Can me have chocolate...Wiver no share." Grace pouted, looking between her mum and dad. Surely they had some chocolate.

'Yaaaay!' Whit felt like doing a little dance all because a little boy wasn't mad at her. Then again, he wasn't just ANY little boy, he was her best friends child, AKA River Darcy. Him being mad at her would have been horrible, in her head anyways. "Ooookaaaay, let's go!" Whit half skipped, half walked, her way back over to Em.

She turned back to look at Reese and wondered if she had already spoken to Em. Then again, she was talking to someone she didn't know and Whit didn't want to but in, so she figured Reese would call her back over if anything. "Mr. Saenz, someone wanted to say hello to you."

Okay, so either Whit didn't whisper soft enough, or River had really good ears, but he had heard what she said about Emiliano and lemurs. "Um..yeah...maybe...but you have to ask first, okay? It's polite..and what not." Yeah, at least she was teaching him good manners, though did 3 year-old's really need manners? Either way, she was sure Em would know what to tell River about the lemurs because she sure couldn't. 'Talk about Lima and the Lemurs Go Camping'

He grinned as Whit brought him over to Emalo who was with Karma. He remembered her from the concert last year.

"HAI EMALO!! I'M RIVAH!" he called out as he excitedly waved to the man he didn't remember ever seeing before. Then he turned to Karma and saw that she was holding a baby. "Karmah!! Look what I have!" he showed her Mr. Bear happily. "My daddy gave to me!"

And Whit said that Emalo could gt him a limmer. "Emalo! Whit says you can get me a limmer." He turned again and pointed to the things on the ground. "I want a limmer."

River had to be the most adorable child in the world! Though she didn't know many kids so.... 'I wonder if I could steal him for, like, two hours. Would anyone notice?' Obviously, it wasn't the smartest question to ask herself, but she still wondered. Whit looked around cautiously, for some reason, even though she was pretty sure no one could hear her thoughts. Shaking the thought out of her head she listened to River introduce himself to "Emalo" and talk to "Karmah." It was good to know he was in a good mood.

'I wonder if I ever had a b-' "I said what?" she asked, surprised. She wasn't expecting him to tell Em that she had told him he could give him a lemur. That wasn't part of the unspoken agreement, not hers anyways. "Um......sure I did?" Whit replied, feeling her cheeks redden. She looked at River and politely said, "Riiiiveeeer, you have to aaaask."

"I ask?" he said to Whit, unsure. He didn't know anything other than he wanted a limmer. "Emalo, can you please get me limmer?" Was that better? He looked up at Whit to see if he had done a good job of asking. And his mummy had taught him good manners. He just forgot them in his excitement.

"Mhmm." Whit watched as River, very politely, asked Em if he could get him a lemur. What in the world was Lima talking about? 'Pffft, terrible three's.' "Awesome! High five!" Whit said, very proud, raising her hand for the high five. She hadn't asked anyone for a high five in a long time.

Then she thought about what would happen if he didn't get his lemur. "River, what if Em can't get you a Lemur?"

"High five!" he called out as he gave her his palm. He laughed happily. Then she asked him what he would do if he didn't get his limmer. "No! I want limmer!"

'Uh oh.' No Lemurs + River = BAD. But he was an angel so everything was okay. He would understand that sometimes you can't have a lemur...not until he's older...and possibly out of the house. "But...what if...you can't have one?"

"No! I get limmer!!" He hit Whit on the head with Mr. Bear.

Before she knew what was going on, River had hit her on the head with the bear. She half wanted to blame Mr. Bear, only cause River had been so good before, but now...well now he wasn't getting what he wanted. "River, pleeeaaase don't hit me. I didn't say you couldn't have a lemur I just said what if and..well..you might not be able to get one, either." Whit rubbed her head while she spoke. Who in the world knew a stuffed animal could hurt so much. 'Ouch.'

Emiliano hugged Whitney back. It felt so great to see his friends, after what...eight to nine years? Gulp...that had been a long time. "So, how have you been, Whitney?" He asked as he let go and watched the toddler, River wanting to stay with Whitney. And there was a mention of him, sooner or later he guessed it would happen, that involved him catching Cam's lemurs.

"Me, catching lemurs?" He shook his head, slightly. No wayyy!!

"Would you consider using magic to catch them? Like...Inmobilus...or something?" He questioned around. He was not getting hold of those creatures.

So River wanted a Lemur (and also started to call him Emalo? Hehe), and started hitting Whitney with Mr. Bear. Emiliano tried not to laugh at that. "River, how about we catch them, but you will get to see them once inside a cage?" It was just a suggestion. You never know how a three year old would react towards the comment.

Noticing Karma was standing just behind them holding Cecilia, he smiled at her and invited her to join, as holding her hand. "I need help." Em whispered into Karma's ear. "How can you tell a toddler he can't have a lemur...now?" Yes, he was a bit unexperienced with that subject in particular: Saying NO even though the babies use that charm of their own.

He shook his head at Whit and giggled. "No. Hitting is fun!" He clapped his hands and kept laughing. He hit mummy and daddy with Mr. Bear too. Though daddy didn't really like it much.

And Emalo was asking if he wanted to see the limmers in a cage. "I wanna take limmers home! I wanna play with limmers."

"River, hitting is not fun. It's mean." Yup, it was extremely mean. And painful. "And it hurts." She kinda wanted to take Mr. Bear away from him but 1. He'd get upset and 2. He would then hit her with his hands. So not any better.

Whit looked back at Em and saw him trying not to laugh. 'Getting hit with a bear is so not funny.' "I've been really good, well, better than right now I guess you could say, but good." she said, slightly smiling. It doesn't sound like she would be in pain but her head really did hurt. "How have you been?"

Then she heard the whole "catch the lemurs" thing and said, "Oh yeah! Catch the lemurs! That's fun and then they'll be in a cage and you wont hit me anymore, and then you can ask your mom and Cam if you can take one home." That sounded like a great plan. A plan where she wont really need to be involved. "Is that okay River?" 'Please, please be okay.'

Okay, this kid was a typical three year old. Let's be sure Emiliano was capable enough to handle him. But wait, that's why he had a mommy. "I'm sure Mommy will let you have one soon, but as for now, these two lemurs are someone else's and I'm sure that person would not like you taking one of them." He shook his head slightly. Was he doing alright?

"Lima, have you consider getting River a pet? I mean, something quite Muggle at first, like a puppy or a kitten, then something from the Magical world, when he turns around seven or eight years old?" It was some comment that came to his mind. It was a lesson of responsibility, to have a pet, something else besides yourself to take care of as you grew up.

"How's it mean? It's fun! See?" He hit her again and laughed some more. And Emalo was saying that the lemurs were not his to have. "Who owns limmers?"

Seeing at this meeting was done - and there seemed to be a bit of noise outside - Lima excused herself from Keith and opened the entrance to the tent.

"What's going on here?" she asked as she approached Em's tent and saw that River was hitting Whit on the head. "River! No hitting people! What have we told you about that?"

And now Em was asking her about pets. Why? "Well, we haven't yet, no. Why?"
