"Falling Cows Ahead," Kurumi read tilting her head to the side. "I don't remember there being cows in your area." It was times like this were Kurumi's innocence could be a total buzz kill. She smiled at Adam. It was nice to see him laughing. She then looked around and found an area of strange looking glasses and picked up a pair that looked like feet. "Where did they find some of these things?" He fork, of course, was very different.

"Maybe they took it out of the Weasley twins house and put it as their own...You are holding a fork as if you knew it by heart, why?"He asked intrigued. She was a different type of person, intelligent, random and very shy, but that complimented him in a way, opposites attract...

Kurumi blushed. "Do you know the movie The Little Mermaid?" she asked holding the fork delicately. "I loved that movie and in it she has this fork...and she collects things. I, kind of started this weird fork collection because of it." She probably sounded like some crazy Cornish Pixie right now. Adam had a strange collection too, right? Didn't everyone? Then again, forks were a little odd...

"No...I know I am pure muggle- but I've never been much for Disney movies...More of a pixar guy- Finding Nemo, Monster's Inc...That good stuff...Fork collection?"He questioned her.
Would it be weird saying he had and still 13 years old is collecting beanie babies.Maybe she might find it cute and macho, but disturbing, best to keep it hidden.

Never been much for Disney movies!? Kurumi had practically lived for them when she was a child. She had even tried to talk to her sushi once. Ryunosuke had told her that she was eating Flounder and she had been unable to look at fish for two weeks. "Yes...forks..." she said shyly. "I know, I probably look more like someone who collects fluffy stuffed animals or cookie cutters." Truth was, she did have a small cookie cutter collection.

"No...No stuffed animals no, cookie cutters, a for sure without a doubt no hesitation in my answer, YES...."Adam said ruffling her hair.
Maybe being in random spots were their forte in their relationship- they seemed to understand and be nicest to each other in random spots...
"I have a very , different type of collection...."He said shyly, turning aside, as to not show his blushing.

So Adam did collect something! Now she was curious. Slinkering up behind Adam, she leaned forward with her arms behind her back and batted her eyelashes innocently. He was going to tell her what he collected. Maybe they could be geeky together and it would help her find him a Christmas present. "So...what is your different type of collection?" she grinned.

Not being able to tell her what he collected, Adam went for the next best- maybe not best- but next thing he collected.
"Hairballs...I collect Tigger's hairballs...All different sizes , shapes and forms, and weight, too...It's amazing what comes out of our cats mouths..."He said in a fake interested voice.
He did collect them, stuffed them in a little pencil box.

"Hairballs?" Kurumi repeated raising an eyebrow. "And you think my collecting forks is weird?" Maybe she had been better off if she hadn't asked. Collecting hairballs sounded like it was a messy business - not to mention disgusting.

Furballs I meant....
 

"No.... I actually- don't laugh at me- I'm very insecure about this...I collect beanie babies..."Adam told her, leaning in...
Furballs weren't that disgusting just little clumps of fur , it was soothing actually...
"And I sleep with the cat beanie baby the most- because of tigger..."

you say potato I say potAto XD
 

Kurumi's eye lit up when she heard Adam say that he collected beanie babies. Well, she knew what part of his Christmas gift was going to be! "Really?" she whispered back so as not to draw attention to the situation. "That is, rather adorable actually." Kurumi gave him a soft pat on the back and then, looking over his shoulder, noticed a rather old and beat up looking hippo beanie baby. "I hope you take better care of them than this poor guy," she said picking it up as a few of its bean stuffings fell out.

"Really...I knew you would like hearing something like that- coming from me...
Oh don't worry I keep them in mint , prestine condition, inside a little cabinet...All nice and I brush them every 2 weeks
Adam gasped when the beanie beabies guts spilled out. Who could treat such a collectable in such a crude manner.He picked it up and rubbed it's head soothingly, if only all beanie babies were treated like how he did it, no one baby would be hurt.

Adam seemed to take better care of his beanie babies than she did of her forks. They were all in the bottom of her sock drawer at the moment. Some of them were even her socks and she would get jabbed in the morning when she inserted her foot. "Maybe, I can fix this one," she smiled with a twinkle in her eyes. "It's a simple spell, really. I can do it back at Hogwarts...unless you already have a hippo beanie baby."

Now he's cheesy...
 

Adam gently took it out of her arms, and then gave it back to her.
"It's your- after you pay- you can keep it...Besides plush hippos scare me- they might come alive and squish me to death..."He said in a half serious, joking voice.
"I don't need a hippo- just you- to be happy..."

like a hallmark card!
 

Kurumi flushed. How was she supposed to put that in a box for Christmas? She looked at the hippo and felt sorry for it, so she added it to her random forks she had picked up. "R-r-r-really?" she whispered looking at the forks. She tried to imagine this little beanie baby trying to squish Adam so as not to allow her hair turning pink.

"Yeah...Sure you can have him...I know it has it's own name but - how about Hamtaro....???Isn't that a cute name for a cute, purple hippo that will suffocate you at night?"Adam asked in a teasing voice.
"You buy Hamtaro and I will get you the forks- equal share..."He said, maybe this was his way of making everything up to her.

"Hamtaro is a name for a hamster," she giggled petting the poor thing. "I think I'll name him bubbles."

"bubbles...???What about Hungry Hippo...It's a game and suits him perfectly...Did you ever watch that show- Hamtaro...I have a big plush toy of him propped up on bed..."He smiled guiltly. It was one of those things he only kept to himself...

"Adam, Hamtaro is from Japan," she laughed. She had watched the show often and her favorite one of the hamster bunch was the one with the giant blue Ribbon. "I have one too, back home in Japan. You may have seen him on my dresser when you came to visit." Hungry Hippo? This guy certainly didn't look hungry, he looked rather pathetic. "I think Bubbles is just fine."

"I know he is from Japan...Ham ...Ham...Hamtaro..."Adam sang, putting his hands up to his chest so that they were stubs, as he jumped up and down with each HAM, he had said.
"Bubbles- so that means, we need to find him two girls, Blossom and Buttercup..."He smiled cheekily.

Kurumi tilted her head to the side? "Why does he need two girls named Blossom and Buttercup?" Perhaps this was some sort of inside joke Adam had with his other friends from London?

"Well you name Hungry Hippo here- Bubbles...I am thinking of Blossom, Buttercup and Bubbles from the Powerpuff girls...You probably never got that show in Japan, and now I sound more downright an idiot than I usually do."He said in fast speech, his voice lowering every word.

"You're not an idiot," she laughed patting his shoulder. "But, you're right. I've never seen the Powerpuff Girls." Maybe she would have to find them in the archives in the library. "Was it good?"

He shrugged his shoulders..."It had it's moments...All good here...Are you gonna take Bubbles and Forklift???"He asked...

"I think I will," she smiled looking back at her fork. She could bring it home during the Christmas holidays and put it in her sock drawer. "You going to buy your weird sign?" Maybe she could charm some cow stuffed animals to go marching into the boy's dormitory and fly onto his bed.
