"Yeah it's batman! Robin is his handy sidekick. I like his costume." Nika felt a splash of water hit her face. She shuddered as it hit her, "Oh I'm gonna get you!" Nika reached into the puddle and grabbed some water. She didn't realize it wasn't water, but it was watery mud. She threw it so that it hit Emily's legs. "Ooops!" Nika jumped up and ran away from Emily.

Kurumi cheeks flushed an even deeper shade of rose now. Did she really have to say it all out loud? Adam was smart, she was sure he had put two and two together by now. Maybe he was just teasing her. She had seen her brothers do it with girls. Takashi always said it was better when the girl said what he already knew she wanted to say. Kurumi thought it was a mild form of torture.

"M-M-Maybe," she stammered. "I've never been able to see his face. There is always a strong wind that carries rose petals in front of my face. By the time that wind stops, he is already gone."

"Oh he leaves..."Adam said in a sullen tone, though not sure why.

If it was him, could the wind and the person leaving signify his absence here while he will be stuck in Mexico. Many dreams have reason to it, but he'd need to go to the library and read up on a dream reading book.

"Maybe, those roses are trying to tell you something..."He stopped and then looked up at her, "Love just came to your life and left just like that..."

Kurumi frowned at Adam's interpretation. "Maybe," she shrugged. "I haven't really tried to figure out the meaning behind it so much."

"I'd be interested in looking this up...In the library with ...you."He simply said.The One time he'd go to the library has to do with the possibility of the prince being him. He didn't want to disappoint her more.

"Really?" Kurumi chirped feeling a giggle forming in the pit of her stomach. "You want to go to the library and do research?"

FINALLY! Some of her solid work ethic was rubbing off on him!

"Yeah...If you're not busy right now...You can get your diary and meet you in the Library?"He suggested.

She seem delighted with the fact that Adam was willing to do some research, even if it wasn't for school, it was still doing something productive, which he rarely did.

Kurumi looked out at the playing field and then down at her track suit. "Sure, but, I really ought to shower first," she winked. "I don't think Madam Donovan would like it very much if I got sweaty hands all over her books."

Emily laughed and rolled in the puddle until the cold mud hit her legs.
"Oh! My jeans!" she cried, but was smiling all the same. She picked up a handful of mud and tried to throw it at Nika, but she had already started to run so it missed.
She took out her wand. What was that spell they'd learned first charms lesson? Oh yeah!
"Mizurus boru" she said makeing a ball of water from the puddle. It worked!
Then... "Globo Leviosa!" she cried pointing her wand at Nika so the ball of water went straight for her back. Guess these charms did come in handy after all! she thought.

Nika turned around in the midst of her run. Why isn't Emily chasing me down? She shrugged and then turned back around and continued to run. Not much time had passed by before Nika was hit by a ball of cold water. "AH!" Nika turned around and saw Emily with her wand in the air. "Oh I'm gonna get cha!" Nika saw another nearby puddle and cupped her hands in it. Not knowing any charms to help her with the task she used her own hands as a bowl. Nika ran towards Emiliy and threw her arms in the air, but only little drops landed on Emily. "Oh man! The water must've leaked through the spaces in between my fingers!"

"Ha!" Emily laughed kicking the puddle she was standing in "Yeah they must have."
She stood watching the clouds get darker and the drops of rain come down her face and arms. She was in some kind of trance before...
"AAHH!" she woke up and randomly jumped on Nika so they both went flying into the puddle, drenching themselves. Smart move Emily, smart move.

"HEY! What was that for!" Nika took some water and splashed it at Emily. "Um Em I think it's best if we go inside. The rain is getting pretty bad." Nika stood up and undid her jacket from her neck. She put an arm through the sleeve and then quickly took it back out. "Oh no! Do you think that we will get into trouble if we walk into the castle all wet?" Nika looked down at Emily's legs and regretted throwing the mud. "-And muddy. Sorry about that by the way"

"Sorry. I think we both got carried away" she admitted looking at their wet clothes. She stood up with Nika then ran to collect the ball.
"Actually I think we might Nika. Especially if we trail mud into the hallway." Not good. If only she could remember that charm to make them warm and dry again! But it just woudn't come to her.
"Oh it's fine. Sorry for getting you so wet." They were soaked. "I could cast Evapora on us to make us less wet, but we'd still be cold. There is this one charm that can make you feel warm and dry but I forget it so that one's our best bet." she admitted hanging her head.
"We need to take a bath" she coudn't help but smile. This had been so fun! Learning to play football and splashing about in the rain. She'd never forget it!

"Okay so Evapora it is! I think you should cast it. We all know how awful I am at charms." Nika smiled and looked down at her soaking clothes. "It was fun while it lasted though!"

"You are not awful at charms!" Emily protested "You just need to get the hang of it!" No-one would call her friend awful and get away with it!
She took out her wand at pointed it at her jeans. "Evapora!"
Most of the water evaporated, but they were still damp and slightly stiff.
"Well it worked, but they're still damp" she told Nika, hitting the sides of her legs.
"Evapora!" she said pointing her wand at Nika's trousers, then top, then jacket. And finally her top and jacket.
"This has been so fun!" she added putting her wand in the pocket and tying her hair up again. "Your the best friend ever!" She really was!

Nika smiled at Emily, but deep down she probably thought Nika was pretty bad at it too."Thanks!" She rubbed her hand on her jacket and it felt three times dryer than before. "It has been SO much fun!" Nika gave her friend a hug. "No, I'm not. You are."

Getting out again in the fresh air felt amazing. Sure, he did carry out his training in the cold too, but this spring warmness was much better, as it was obviously warm. With his birthday gift brand new full-Blue Chelsea suit on--exactly like the ones the footballers wore on matches, and a ball in his hand, football (soccer) fanatic Evan Cartwright walked into the pitch, looking around at everyone to see if there was someone worthy playing a game with. His eyes narrowed a bit at the sight of the dork, though he was determined to ignore both him and Sophie. Eyeing his feet movements witht the ball--definitely avoiding the face--he let out an evil laugh that the dork could easily hear, and turned the other way. And the dork actually thought he could play football? Hmpf. Evan would teach him football, along with some other vital things that he was lacking.

Setting his precious ball down, turning his back to the other boy, he adjusted himself to shoot to the goal that was 20 metres away, and took a precise shoot. Naow, see that, little 'flirt-with-everyone-with-skirt'.

"I just wish I could remember that other drying spell. Guess I've given myself holiday homework!" Hopefully she woudn't find that wierd.
"Don't argue" Emily laughed linking arms with her as they started to walk off the field "And thanks for teaching me football" If she hadn't said it a million times before, it had been a lot of fun!

Holiday homework? Hmph well whatever floats your boat. "It was no problem, really. Besides I've been looking for an excuse to get out here."

As Sebastian was passing the ball back and forth with his feet, he heard a very loud laugh from a few feet away from him. He turned around to see Evan scoring a goal about a couple meters away. He rolled his eyes and kicked up the ball, catching it with his hands. He walked over to Evan and crossed his arms. "Nice shot. I didn't know you play." He said, hoping to make maybe just a bit of an attempt of being nice to Mr. 'I'm so cool and I want to take your girlfriend away from you'.

"I played a bit myself in my other schools." Seb nodded, setting the ball down and then kicking it towards the goal. It hit off the side of the goal but landed inside of it as usual. He shrugged and looked over at Evan. "Why exactly are you so eh, jealous or mad at me? I didn't really quite understand why you are coming off that way." He said, putting a hand over his eyes as the Sun was shining very brightly today. Ugh, he should have brought his sunglasses!

"It's good isn't it?" she said looking around the field. She threw the ball in front of them and kicked it gently as they walked along.
"Well I think hot chocolate is in order!" She laughed trying to header the ball and missing... again. "And a long hot bath. I'm exausted!"
Back to the castle!!!

"Agreed." And with that being said she made her way into the castle.

Isobel made her way out to the Playing Field. She got a soccer ball and started kicking it between her feet angrily. She was in a generally angry mood. Angry at Maybelle, (then again when wasn't she?) and angry at Jake(who she was rarely angry at). She was just so irritated. She wanted to talk to someone, but at the same time didn't want to bother anyone with her troubles. She really needed her siblings. Since Jake was clearly not an option, she really wished Sara was there.

Nika kicked the ball from foot to foot. She tried to keep it up in the air as long as possible with out using her hands. Nika went for a header and when it bounced off she kicked it again with her foot. This time Nika lost control of the ball and it went flying into the air. She chased the ball in hopes that she would get there in time for it not to hit... too late. "Oh no! I'm so sorry! Are you alright? Did it hurt you?" Nika panicked. The ball wasn't that hard, but Nika's power was strong when it came to football. "I'm really sorry."

Isobel was looking down at her ball and not really paying attention to anything that was going on around her.You would think that after playing soccer for four years she would learn that she had to look. But no, apparently she never learned. A soccer ball smacked into her shoulder, making Isobel lose her balance. She caught herself in time though, sidestepping with her opposite foot to stop herself from falling over. In the process she dropped her ball, making it land in the mud next to the one that had hit her.

Isobel looked around for where the ball had come from. She wouldn't have been surprised if Maybelle had kicked it at her; the girl had made her break her wrist for crying out loud. But no, it was just a girl who Isobel guessed was slightly younger...maybe. She mustered up as much happiness as she could and smiled. "It's okay," she said. "It didn't hurt that much." Thank goodness it hadn't hit her face. "Stuff like that actually happens to me all the time." Well, that was kind of an exaggeration, she got hit sometimes at practice. "Do you play?" She asked, indicating the soccer balls at her feet.
