"Pleasee!!! I'll give you a hug!!" Rosalie said exaggerating.

"All you have to say is 'I'll try.' You don't even have to go outside! Just I really want you to try.." she said. She forgot all about the lily behind her ear. When she was jumping it fell out. She grabbed it back up and tried to put it behind again. This time it wouldn't stay. She held it in her hands.

Jung sighed "i guess i could try" Jung frowned

"Turn that frown upside down!" Rosalie replied. She did it!

"I guess you deserve that hug.." Rosalie said hugging him.

"You know you wanted the hug," she laughed.

jung laughed "a little yes"

Mina shook her head and picked herself back up, dusting herself off. "The landing seems to be what I need to work on the most," she laughed as she took a bow. She wasn't hurt or anything, maybe her pride was a little bruised, but she'd get over it. "You know, seriously I blame my lack of balance on me being upside-down for too long." she added as she reached up again hang from one of the bars.

"ALLLEEEEEEXXX!!!!!!" Lucille called from her position on the monkey bars.

Except, this hadnt gone as planned.

How on earth had Lucille managed to get tangled up on the monkey bars? You grab and swing yourself to the next...ITS NOT HARD!!!

So how come her legs were wrapped round it, and one arm was caught between her and the metal?

Not to mention the fact that she'd been there for about 20 minutes.

!Allleeeeeexxx!!!" She called again, blood rushing to her head. "Heeeelp meeee!!"

Could he pick up things with his feet? Pffft! Of course he could. He was Torin. So he was awesome like that.

"What do you think?"

He kicked off his shoes and let them fall wherever. "What you want me to try to pick up?" 'cause it was just more fun if Xander gave him something hard to try to do.

He scanned around the area to see if he could find anything, and instead spotted someone coming towards them. "Hey, Annie!!"

He waved to her with the hand that wasn't currently keeping him on the monkey bars.

Lucy listened to him with her eyebrows raised. Could this really be? Or was he pulling her leg? But when she looked at him, she could see that he was telling the truth--he seemed terrified even thinking about books.
"Oh, Lavi. That makes sense...the part about the comic books and stuff, I mean. But I understand about your fear. Everyone is afraid of different things, and for you, it's books. It's okay, I'm sure you'll get over it," She said nodding her head confidently. This boy needed her help, and if she could help him, then she would. As she listened to him explain about school and his professors, she smiled kindly. "That's a good idea, telling the head of house. She can really help you out, you know. And also, I'm always here to help you...in any way I can," She finished, holding out a consoling hand to him. And now she felt so bad for the little fella that she wanted to hug him--but she knew that he would probably freak out and then acquire a phobia of her.

Alex was snapped out of her daydream of meadow full of flowers and brothers who were torturing her when she heard the sound of her name. She looked to her left to see.. Lucille, stuck in the monkey bars?

Dear Merlin how did that happen?

"Lucille? What happened?" She asked as she jumped off the swing and hurried over to the monkey bars..She climbed up on them and got onto the top, and clamored over the metal towards her friend.

"Okay, I am going to hold onto to your legs, and try to get your arm unstuck alright?" She asked smiling as she grabbed the girls legs and moved them a bit, moving her arm carefully out from the metal.. "There that should work right?" She asked from her precarious perch.

As she started stammering, Blake drew back and stared at her with tear stained cheeks and bloodshot eyes.

C'mon Helena, try. You can tell me that you love me....It'd mean everything to me. Even if it's....a lie. He thought and furrowed his brows at her, impatiently. Resting his hands on her shoulder, Blake squeezed them slightly as he tilted his head to the side.

A....what? A yes? Did she say YES? OMG YES! Noo...that can't be it. She's lying. Definitely. At least she cares for his feelings and that was more than enough for Blake.

"I'm...so...confused and ughh!" He muttered a bit irritatingly and ran a hand through his hair. His face lit up slightly, however, he was fully aware that he hand no chances with her. Withdrawing his hands from her shoulder and dropping them to his sides, he added, "I can't believe you love me too, Helena and really, that's enough for me. I know we can't be together but I guess it's okay as long as we share mutual feelings." He smiled at her weakly, tears finally subsiding.

Sighing, he waded his hand through the sand and added, "I promise you, Helena...I'll...never come between you and Chris. Your feelings..whether they are genuine or not, are safe with me." Giving her a small smile, he stroked her cheek with his thumb and whispered, "I will always be there for you." Embracing her again, he fell back on the soft sand and covered his face with his hands.

Lucille hung, waiting for Alex. When she arrived, her arm and one leg were both numb.

"Yes please," said Lucille, and she waited as Alex wiggled her free. When there was enough room, Lucille wiggled herself, and finally dropped down onto the floor with a soft "UMPH!"

"Thanks," she said, getting up and beaming at Alex. "Er..not quite sure how that DID happen to be honest with you...i was erm.....playing, and...well, i guess i got a teeensy bit carried away. Maybe."

She scratched the back of her neck and grinned sheepishly, and picked a bit of mud off the end of her nose with the other hand. "Hows the rib?" she asked.

Alex smiled as Lucille wigged herself free and she giggled a bit as she fell into the sand. She sat on the top of the monkey bars and looked down. "You are welcome, and may next time you feel the urge to get carried away, try the swings, that way.. you can't get stuck.." She grinned.

Stuck like she was now. Alex had no idea how to get down from up here. Gah she was terrible with heights, So she decided to play it off like she wanted to be sitting up on the monkey bars..

Dear Merlin she was going to die!

"Oh it is fine, I went back to the Healers and had it all checked out, everything is healed. It is a bit sore sometimes, but apparently that is normal." Alex shrugged.

"I'll try that, thanks," she smiled. "And thats good about the rib. Are you ok up there? You look a bit...er....like your gunna wet yourself. Just a little bit." She chuckled. "Would you like some help?"

Alex laughed as Lucille spoke, "Wet myself ehh? And here I thought I was doing so well at not letting anyone know how scared I was about being up here." She nodded. "Yes please, I would love some help down from here."

Before I break my neck.. She thought to herself smiling.

"Ah what can i say," siad Lucille, grinning as she positioned herself under where Alex was sat, "im psycic. Ok, jump," she said.

Lucille turned her back - the monkey bars wernt too much higher than her head now. "Climb onto my shoulders. Trust me."

Carter chuckled a bit. "You'll just have to practice." he said standing on top of a bar. He flipped backwards and landed solidly on his keet. "Learned that in soccer practice. You have no idea how useful it is when a ball is coming at you." he said.

Alex looked at Lucille a little doubtfully. Jump?? Was she sure? It certainly looked a long way down, and Lucille didn't look strong enough to carry her.. Of course Alex was pretty dang tiny.. perhaps she could..

"Dear Merlin." She whispered as she slid down a little on the monkey bars and jumped...

Lucille braced herself. She caught Alex, spun her round and had set her on the floor before she'd even known what had happened.

Well, she had to be careful. She didnt want to break aother of Alex's ribs.

"Good thing your so diddy," she said. "You're safe."

Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh. What had she done? What had she done?? As much as Blake said it was enough for him, would it ever be? Could it ever really be enough just to know that you're loved by someone you can't be with? It shouldn't be a scenario, but that's the one they were in. It was terrible. How could anyone be okay with that?

I know you won't, Helena said quickly in reply - she knew Blake would never do that. It just wasn't him. They are geniune, she whispered as he stroked her cheek, but then he spoke and her heart broke yet again at his words and as he hugged her, though she hugged him back as tightly.

As Blake fell back into the sand, Lena stared past him, her eyes spacey as she tried to contemplate the war she might have just started.

Herminny walked outside to beatiful grounds of Hogwart thinking of taking a trip down to the lake when she saw a rather unsual sight. As she approached the area she realized it was some sort of park divice that kids usually played on in her neigborhood but she never got all that close to one cause her mother told her it was in a bad neck of the woods and it was not a lady-like thing to do. She listened at home but here she knew she was safe and her mother would not see so she approached the bars to try what she had seen so many kids do before her hoping mabe a freind may show up and join her.

Merlin!! Before Alex knew what had happened she was safely sat on the sand.. "Wow, you move fast." She said smiling up at Lucille, she had barely any time to think at the moment.

"Yes, I know.. it does come in handy for some things." She said softly, as she ran a hand through the soft sand she was sitting in.

Closing his eyes as he laid on the sand, sinking his toes in it, he heard Helena murmur..genuine. A soft smile tilted the corner of his lips and Blake sat up, his perfect hair now covered in sand. "Don't worry about a thing." He muttered and took her hands in his, "I won't discuss this ever again and nor will this incident slip past my lips under any condition." Assuring her, he smiled at her and blinked his eyes involuntarily. However inside, his heart was tearing apart but he wasn't aware of this himself.

"I look Romeo, don't I?" He joked about their situation and shook his head. He really ruined everything today. Is Helena ever going to look at him the same way she did before coming here today? Probably not. But whatever happened today was needed. At least for his sake.

Helena didn't look back at Blake until he had taken both of her hands into his. She had to briefly smile at the sand strewn through his hair, but at his words, she nodded slightly and looked back at him. For once, his smile didn't cause her to mirror him.

How can you look at me like that? she whispered, her eyes - still purple - becoming a bit teary with anger at herself.

Yay they were going to play football, weeeee! Evan had bounced all the way from the Slytherin common room to here, his huge grin never fading for a second. He was totally ready: a casual, comfortable trouser that had been on him, his Lampard jersey and his Drogba crampons. He found a suitable corner which was wide enough for a one-to-one game. Picking up two stones, he put them in a width of 3 metres in a row to show the goal. Shame that they didn't have any proper goal. Shaking his head, he turned back at Marie and grinned birghtly again. "Shall I explain the rules first, or shall we start?" The last time he had played was... well, last week, with his father. And a week was definately a long time.

At her question, he gave her a puzzled look and asked, "Umm what?..." Sighing while he pushed back his hair, he continued, "Helena...it's okay. I can deal with this, now that I'm aware you love me too." The least he could do is try and keep her happy.

"Don't think about us too much. It's only going to make matters worse." He sighed and interlinked their fingers. Surprisingly, it was a perfect fit and felt soooo right.

"Come, lets go back to the common room. You must be hungry." He said and curled his arm around her shoulder, nuzzling her cheek. Ugh! He should stop being so lovey dovey. Remember? They're aiming to keep this whole incident under cover.
