~ Golden Days ~

There’s a little house on the hill in Carmaron [some where in north California] filled with children who need homes. But there is a house next door what wants the children gone.

Golden Day Orphanage is stationed on a hilltop, here kids form all ages grow up and try to find new homes. Yet, there is a house next door, a Mr. Douglas lives here and he hates children. If any kid was to go over the fence for any reason, that kid might not come back for dinner.
Now in the year, 2010 there are 10 children left at the orphanage, but these are no longer kids. They are teenagers, teenagers are harder to find homes for, and these kids just do not seem to even want to leave. Ms. Gold is their “mother” and she really does not want them to leave either, they are her family and she loves them.
Unfortunately the orphanage is closing down, Ms. Gold cannot hold any more kids and the kids she has now help out with whatever they can. They do chores, some have jobs, and all are in high school. Soon a few of them will be off to college.


You now have control; the story has twists and Mr. Douglas wants a reason to have your head. Be careful and love each other, find ways to live your lives.

~ O-P-E-N ~

A very unwelcoming, unkind light found it's way into a very cluttered, music peraphenalia filled room. Music was playing, but it was always playing in this room. In the middle of this room was an messy bed. The covers had been pulled every which way and were no longer trapped under the mattress, rather they were wrapped around a body. Yeah, body was the word for it for Eleanor at this point.

The music stopped suddenly and that snapped the dark haired girl's blue-grey eyes open. The narrowed, glaring at the inside of her blanket cacoon. One of the other kids must've come in during the night and taken it off repeat. She was going to show them as soon as she found out who did it. That was trespassing and as far as Eleanor was concerened, it was illegal. One must never disrupt one's music, especially if that 'one' was Eleanor.

"Gah, is it night time yet?" She complained as she pulled the blankets from her head. The sun light instantly hit her eyes and she groaned. "So not night time," she mummbled as she raised a hand to block out the offending rays. She rolled her eyes, not bothering to move her head, to see the clock. It was 9 in the morning.

"Yeah, forget this," Eleanor said to herself. "It's Saturday, I'm going back to bed." With that thought in mind, the girl pulled the covers back over her head. She didn't plan on getting up until later that night when she was going to go to a party. She was pretty sure that Ripley was going too but she would have to double check, but it wasn't like she was going to give him the option of not going.

There was sunlight, there was an open window, and there was a groggy boy named Ripley. And this groggy boy named Ripley, in response to the sunlight pulled his blanket over his head. It wasn't that he was an irate person in the morning or that he disliked mornings in general, but that he was a very nocturnal person. He slept at the crack of dawn and would wake up around noon. This wasn't something that he could do normally with school being in the equation, but lucky for him, today was a Saturday. Saturday was the day sandwiched between two days of pure fun. He didn't have to worry about waking up early to go to school or sleeping "early" (God knows when "early" is for this insomniac) because of school either.

As the light seemed to penetrate his light colored comforter, he threw it off of him and slogged slowly towards his window, closing both his window and his blinds. Must go back to sleeep, he slurred mentally. His mind was too tired for complete sentences. He fell back upon his bed unceremoniously as he rolled back under his covers, pulling out a second sheet from seemingly nowhere and putting that over him as well so that it would provide some extra warmth. Why couldn't the sun go away for a few more hours? It woke him up from a dream involving him at the age of seven drawing a huge picture of everyone at Golden Days on the sidewalk in chalk. Part of him wanted to fly out of bed and recreate it, but then again...he was tired as hell. Screw art, he needed sleep.

Turning onto his side, he tried to lull himself back into a deep slumber, his brown eyes closing and forcing his vision to fade into black. It felt like a long while to him while in truth it was perhaps a few minutes before Ripley woke back up again and checked his clock to find that it was only nine o'clock. Oh hell, was he ever going to get back to sleep? If not just because he liked sleeping, bu because he also had a party to attend to. Personally he would have preferred just heading out clubbing, but Roni always had a habit of persuading him to come with her. Well persuading wouldn't be the right term. He always went with her, no matter the circumstances.

Eyelids heavy, Ripley felt his fatigue eventually overtake him, but the sleep didn't fully consume him. He was still awake, yet tired and his body refused to move (aside from his eyes of course). "Go back to sleep dammit, it's a Saturday..." His voice was low and more of a murmur that a command. It didn't actually help him though as all he could do was roll over into a more comfortable position, eventually deciding that he'd get up and make breakfast or something. Maybe there would be someone else who wasn't able to get to sleep.

Raven A. Xavier

Raven blinked as the sun started to some up over the hills and trough the trees. She smiled and looked back down at her art pad. The scenery that she was drawing was nothing like what was around her. Her sketch looked like a winter scene on Mr. Douglas’s house when really in was not winter or snowing at all. Mr. Douglas was a mean and cold man so that is why she drew his house in winter, forever cold.

She finally stood up from her spot, looking down at the ground she wondered how she would get off the roof today; jump, climb, slide, what? She giggled to herself and then slid down to where her window was. Putting her art pad in her mouth so she could use both her hands, she then slide down all the way on her stomach feet first. Swiftly grabbing onto the edge of the roof she swung her body through her window and into her room. However she was not fully successful, as she swung in he head hit the side of the window and this caused her to fall and then hit her legs on the corners of the desk.

“Owiess!” Rave curled up into a ball, her hands holding her hand where it bumped the window and her eyes scanned over her legs. There was blood coming out of scratches on her legs, her shorts had been pulled down slightly from the fall. Sniffling her wiped her eyes and rubbed her head softly. Finally standing up she sat on her bed; her art pad was on the other side of it. Looking her body over in the mirror across from her, she sighed and lay back on the bed. She had gotten up a bout 3 hours before the sunrise to look at the night sky and to draw her sketch.

Staying this way for a few minutes, Rave then soon decided to take a swift and cold shower. Getting up she grabbed her robe and bathroom baggy. Taking off her bedtime clothes, she then slipped the robe on and wondered out into the hall. There was a bathroom for girls and one for boys, she opened the girl’s door up, and then slipped into it, locking the door she then started the water. Taking the robe off she took out her shampoo and conditioner and then walked into the shower. Smiling she hummed softly as she took her shower. Taking about 15 minutes and then the water was off. Shivering lightly, she wrapped the towel around her body and then plugged her dryer into the wall. Drying her hair she then straightened it as well, soon her black hair was dry, straightened, and then pulled into to braids. She unwrapped the towel and then put her robe on, gathering her stuff back into the baggy, she then walked back into her room, locking the door behind her. She giggled softly, “What to wear, what to wear?” looking through her small selection of outfits she pulled out a blue shirt, bright blue jeans, flats, a jacket [but with a zipper] and her favorite headband. After slipping everything on, Rave soon opened her door, grabbed her notebook, and skipped on down the stairs as quietly as she could, humming a tune softly. As she reached the kitchen, it seemed that no one was there. She took out of the refrigerator the orange juice and pulled a cup with her name on it down form the cabinet. Ms. Sarah Gold had specially made glasses for them, each with their own style and the person’s name on it.

Pouring the juice into the cup, she put the bottle back into the refrigerator and then sat down on the couch in the living room. Pulling her knees up to her chest, she opened her art pad to a different page. She had a project that she was working on; it was for her to draw all her brothers and sister and Ms. Sarah Gold and then create some gigantic poster or something with them all. So now she was to start this, but who to draw first. The first face that popped into her mind was Nicki. She blushed lightly as she pictured his face, she had a crush on him, but she did not want to tell him. Not it wasn’t as if she was scared.. No she was scared, she didn’t know how he might react, what might happen, or if she might lose anything. Sighing softly she started to sketch him, smiling, her mind soon started to wonder as it would do when she would draw. It might take a lot of work to snap her out of this trance.

Liu.Liling;;
the.Harvard.girl

Luckily for her, that annoying star people called the sun couldn't faze her. Liling Liu or Li/Lin as her siblings had called her, woke up super early and continued to enjoy the DVD box set she had personally bought from over seas. Oh the perks of having a job, she had a huge collection of different Asian films in her room and recently, she had bought this box set of a series that was rather new in mainland China. The series had starred her all time favorite mainland actor, who went by the name Hu Ge. And as of current, she was obsessing over this actor. Liling had bought posters, movies, CDs... Anything that had his face on it, she most likely owned it. Yes, she was that obsessed over this guy. The Chinese girl also had a thing for another Chinese celebrity; however, this guy was from Taiwan. Wu Chun or Wu Zun from the famous Taiwanese boy band, Fahrenheit.

However her mind set was currently on the very last episode of this series. Her dark hues, in complete tears as she watched Hu Ge's character plead for his love interest to allow him to suffer on his own. "... The one left behind, suffers the most..." she muttered the Chinese sentence in English. Liling whimpered sorrowfully, allowing herself to cry quietly as his love interest continued to insist that she stay alive... After all, that is what she had promised him and the fact that they also had a daughter! Again the Chinese girl sniffled, this time a bit louder than she had wanted. But she didn't care... This moment of the series had to be the saddest she had ever seen it!

At the moment the leading female's arm fell limp, Liling simply lost it. She was officially crying out waterfalls as she watched Hu Ge's character hold back a desperate cry before he continued to aimlessly walk down the path of red dandelions. Liling quickly grabbed more tissue, wiping her puffy eyes as she watched the scene enter a short time skip. His character had this forever broken look in his eyes as he slowly walked down the same path, with his daughter sleeping in his arms. It was as if he allowed his soul to follow after his fallen wife..."That wasn't fair... Why did she have to die? Why did you even insist on it? You should have been selfish Xiao Yao Ge Ge! Why... Why?" the tearing Asian questioned as the character looked straight into the eyes of an old man and sad one sentence to him. Liling inhaled jaggedly, still watching as he brushed past the man and walked down the lonely path toward the area where the love of his life had passed on. Soon, the ending credits and song started to play which caused Liling to sigh heavily.

"Alright, the third part is next... I have to say, this one was his best by far~! I wish they made the second part... Who cares if it didn't have a strong storyline, I wanna see their grown up daughter! Oh well... Maybe I should watch a comedy instead...?" she smiled, sniffling and pulled the blanket off of her. Taking the remote, she pressed the eject button and happily took out the DVD before placing it back into its case. She then turned her head at the kitchen clock, her glasses slightly tipping forward as she read the time. "Geez, it's only nine? I gotta be at work in five more hours..."

Again Liling sighed as she placed the case back into the pretty box it came with before bundling up her blanket and throwing out her tissue pile into the trashcan. Note to self... Buy more tissues... She noted as she grabbed her things, turned off the DVD player and the TV and quietly made her way upstairs before anyone decided to leave their rooms. The girl had a tear stained face and she wasn't in the mood to listen to any of her siblings, mocking her for having so much emotion over a silly movie. Noting that she had to wait to use the bathroom... Again; the Asian female merely closed her door and dropped her blanket back on her bed. She then walked over to her music collection and pulled out her mixed CD, seeing as it contained many of her favorite tracks of the dramas she had watched. Popping that into her radio/CD player, she then threw her tired body onto her bed before closing her eyes for a moment and listened to the quiet tunes of her mixed CD.

James Norville
The Rebel Boy

Birds chirped cheerfully, the sound of the alarm clock rang with a muffled buzz, and a stream of sunlight warmed the bedsheets. A thin, muscular figure shifted and moaned in a deep smooth tone as he felt the warmth move onto him. He knew there was no way of avoiding the rays from the enormous star that sat in the sky. James sat up in the bed and turned, placing his feet onto the floor. The bad boy rubbed his eyes vigorously until he'd gotten the sleep out of his eyes and walked over to his closet to change his clothes. He put on his usual worn jeans, hightop sneakers, and a long-sleeved shirt with a t-shirt on top of the other shirt.

With a swift motion, the Rebel jumped over the railing of the stairs and landed with a rough plop. He squatted a bit and flexed his muscles with utter amusement before he stood up straight and strolled into the kitchen. As soon as he'd stepped onto the threshold of the kitchen, James saw Raven in the the room. His usual stone-hard face smiled unusually at Raven and nodded to the young lady, "Well good morning, never thought you would be up this early. What's got you up, right now?" He grinned as he said it laxly, opening the refrigerator and began to drink straight from the orange juice box.

Raven heard noises from up stairs and then smiled softly, “Morning wake ups.” She continued to work on the detail of Nicki’s sketch; she tried to make it look almost perfect as he looked. Pulling her knees up closer to herself, she soon heard Li and smiled softly. Li seemed to be in her room still or at least for now. Raven giggled and then remember how she had heard the noises of the TV before she had headed into the shower, Li must have been watching something again. Smiling softly, she then turned the page over and lightly flattened the newer page.
In no time another body came down the stairs, James seemed to be all awake and ready for the day. Looking up she then grinned and started to sketch James. Raven’s head was down, and her eyes on the pad, so she could not see his smile. Looking up when he ask why she was up so early, Rave just smile. “Aw you know I’m always up before sunrise. Sunset and sunrise are just so beautiful; someone needs to sketch it out. Morning James.” Sticking her tongue out at him playfully, she watched his movements as she started on his body, the curves needed to be just right.
Smiling softly she looked back down and sketched the little things, she was a quick sketcher so by the time he had finished drinking from the orange juice container she had a little sketch of him drinking from it. She put her pad down and grabbed her cup, drinking the juice she then looked at her cup and then backs at James, “Hey! What if I wanted a refill? Hmms.” Laughing softly, she soon padded the spot next to her and then grabbed the remote. “Time for a little early morning show? Sci-Fi, Comedy, Action/Adventure, Romance, or childish?” There was nothing spectacular on right not on normal television, but they did have movies, so something to watch.. Always there. She had a feeling she knew the genre she might pick but she never knew, he did surprise her sometimes.

[Cassidy – Li is asleep in her room, so we’ll just go with James and Raven downstairs alone for now]

Walking (or rather slogging) over to his dresser, Ripley grabbed a shirt and a pair of dark jeans, not caring for shoes as well as his mp3 player and the things he needed to get ready for the day. Heading into the bathroom, he brushed his teeth and then changed, finally giving his hair a quick comb through. But even with all of that he had still felt tired (odd since it was usually the thing that woke him up, aside from a pounding headache). Alas, he would have to try something else, like music. Putting in his earphones and turning on his mp3player, he put it to shuffle before exiting the bathroom and heading downstairs.

"In the morning, you know we won't remember a thing. In the morning you know it's going to be alright." Shuffle, you have yet to fail me, he thought with a laugh. It was strange how well synchronized his music player seemed to be with either his mood or situation. Or maybe it was just coincidence. He lowered the volume of his music, it being so loud that others probably would have heard it if they were around.

Computer 8 Boy

7 8 9

The sunlight was beaming through a window, aiming directly for the face of a older teen. It seemed as if it was trying to wak up him, up it had failed. The alarm clock that was going off wasn't going to wake him either, but what did stir him in his sleep was the sound of someone crying, probably a movie or something. Nevertheless the boy barely moved from his sprawled position in the bed. He was laying on his stomach with the covers across his back and his legs dangling off the sides. In his right above his head was a screw driver, and in his open left hand the was a type of contraption that was slowly sliding out of his grip. Turn to face the wall, he heard someone in the girls shower and a few voices downstairs a moment later. But he still didn't move, if anyone seen him they would probably think he was out party out all night or doing drugs. But all he did was get caught up in the moment of building new things, which he did every day and night when he had the time. The sound of a another shower turning on floated to his room.

When a few clouds cover the sun, and dimmed the light alittle the boy stirred. His eyes opened slowly and looked out the window. He must have left the blinds open all night, the boy sighed and turned around so he was on his back looking at the ceiling. ...Another day, what to do today? He looked to his right to the dresser, and slowly grabbed his glasses off the dresser. Sliding them on, his slightly blurred vision came into crystal clear focus. Sighing he sat up and swung his legs out the bed. He bent foward slightly for a moment before getting up. He random picked out a pair of ripped faded blue jeans and a white dress shirt before heading to the boys' bathroom. It took him longer then usual, because he was washing his hair. Once he was out he flat ironed it. Brushing his hair to the side, his light blue eyes stared at his reflection in the mirror for awhile, he looked like he didn't have much sleep, which was probably true. Sometime before he had flat ironed his hair, he had put on his clothes, but he didn't button the shirt up. Instead he just left it open.

Looking at the clock, he realised he could barely read it. Hitting his forhead gently, he went back into the bathroom and grabbed his glasses, while putting away the flat iron. Now that he was back in his room, which his glasses mind you, he could read that it was just half past 9, he walked over to it and cut it off. He didn't have to go to work until later, so he was just going to stay in his room all day today. But first, the computer boy needed something to eat and drink. He observed his room before leaving, noting that he needed to clean up alittle bit. The boy jogged downstairs and walked right into the kitchen, almost bumping into James. "Eh, sorry.. didn't expect anyone to be down here." Glancing over to Raven he added, "Besides you of course, the early bird of the house." He looked in the refrigerator and noticed the orange juice box was missing, he looked behind him and looked at james' hand. Figures.. guess it's Apple Juice today.. he thought as he reached in an grabbed the box, closing the refrigerator with his leg he reached in the cabinet to pull out his class.

Turning around, he noticed Ripley was up, when did he get down here? Shaking his head lightly, he must still be tired even after that nice hot shower he took a moment ago. Pouring himself a glass he put the Apple Juice back, leaned against the counter. "What are you drawing this time Raven?"

Why did he have to be up now? It was too early, far too early, especially for a saturday! He didn't have any work to do for today so the very audacity the sun showed for waking him up so early was sickening. Grumbling to himself, he sat up from the mess of crumpled sheets, thrown pillows and a mattress that had started to slip off of the actual bed. Not many people dared to enter his room. Well, would you if you couldn't see anything more than a tiny circle of clear floor? At times some had sworn that something had grabbed their ankles from beneath the piles of mess. The young man always shrugged it off. It may have been a mess, but it was an organized mess.

Looking around, he found a surprisingly clean baggy black shirt and tighter fitting dark blue jeans. He tugged them on quickly, along with clean boxers of course, before stumbling out of his room. It was more then likely others would be awake by now as well, hopefully he'd be able to grab some juice or something though before it all vanished. Striding into the kitchen, Nicki ran a hand through his messy hair, the familiar cheeky grin sliding easily onto his face as he greeted the 'sibilngs' who had already arrived downstairs.
"Mornin' all. You better not have had all the juice." He chuckled before looking around, finding the apple juice Alexandre had just put away. Pouring his own glass, he left the box out, glancing at Raven when he saw she was drawing. He leant forwards quickly, peering at the drawing with a smile. "This is great Rave, who is it?" He asked, feigning ignorance, still with his mischivious grin.

Raven looked up as Alex came in, giggling softly at the orange juice situation she smiled and sat up. “Morning Alex.” She looked up suddenly when he asked her what she was drawing this time; a light blush came over her cheeks. She did not want them to know just yet, it was supposed to be a surprise. Grabbing the pad from the table, she wrapped her arms around it protectively. Opening her mouth to answer she soon stopped when Nicki came in. Her eyes widen as he asked her just about the same thing. Putting the pad down it was still open to James drinking the juice and now her blush soon became deeper.
She finally looked back up after wiping her face with her hand, “James hogging the orange juice, cause he a meany and now has left his germies all over the carton. Bad boy.” She glared playfully over at James and then smiled. She looked around, Alex, James, and Nicki were all up, and now this made Raven wonder if the others are going to come as well or just hid in their rooms. Today was Saturday and it was Raven’s day to do some of the chores, since she was one of the few people that actually woke up early on Saturday.
Looking around once more she then pointed to the TV and then the spots next to her, “TV, watch, sit, bored, pwease.” She grinned widely and stuck her tongue out playfully.

Liling jolted awake, blinking a few times as she shot up from her bed. The Asian female quickly scanned her surroundings before her eyes landed on her Hello Kitty digital clock, which had read out a little bit past 9:30 am. The female blinked another few times before she removed her glasses as rubbed her eyes. Well, that was a bit weird... She mentally spoke as she grabbed a cloth that was on her nightstand and began to clean out her glasses. Lifting the pair, she absentmindedly examined the lens for any smudges; which she had wiped out, thankfully. After getting up, the girl walked over toward her door, opening the said thing and noticed that the girls restroom was currently unoccupied. Liling then smiled happily, before hopping toward the her closet and picked out her outfit of the day; well until she had to leave for work at least.

Grabbing her towels and her bathroom supplies, Liling practically sprinted out of her room and dove straight into the unoccupied room. Quickly shutting it--which sounded more like a slam--she then undressed herself, placed her glasses on the small bathroom counter and entered the shower. Yes, there's still hot water! she mentally celebrated as she cleansed herself. After short but much needed shower, she then shoved the stall open and wrapped her fluffy purple towel around her body before grabbing the white one and wrapped her around her head. Once she had dried her entire body, she then slipped on her undergarments and then her outfit of the day. Taking her towel, she then wiped out the fog that was on the mirror and began to add in her facial products--her make up was still in her room--before drying and combing her damp hair. The moment her hair was fixed and ready, Liling placed her glasses back on her face, grabbed the rest of her stuff and walked back into her room.

"Meh, I'm going basic today..." she decided as she grabbed her mineral make up kit, a black eye liner pencil and her chapstick that had a bit of a metallic shine to it. Again she occupied the bathroom, but this time left the door open while she took off her glasses and applied her make up. Once satisfied with her work, she packed up the make up and returned to her room. "Ugh, now where are my shoes...?" she wondered out loud as she scanned her closet for her favorite flats that went well with her outfit. A few moments of digging, Liling finally found the zebra printed flats before taking them and grabbed her hooded pullover and her favorite bunny bag.

Soon enough she finally left her room, closed the door and cheerfully made her way downstairs, when she noticed that some of her family members were currently up. "Wow, so the night owls are indeed awake~" Liling couldn't help but comment jokingly before placing her hoodie on the sofa, along with her bag and dropped her flats on the floor. Stretching her back she then turned her attention toward the boy who was leaning against the kitchen counter, with a completely unbuttoned shirt. The Chinese girl couldn't help but stare, but as quickly as she noticed it, she then ripped her eyes away before gently slapping her cheeks as she timidly walked past her brother and went straight for the cabinet. Crap, crap, crap, crap... Hu Ge's taunting me again! she inwardly twitched as she opened the said cabinet and pulled out her glass. Okay... Apple Juice is currently being horded by Hu Ge and Nicki... Ugh, that's gross JR... She continued to mentally talk to herself as she waddled over to the fridge and looked around. "Oh thank you God, no one touched my Strawberry Banana V8!" she cheered loudly as she grabbed the fat bottle and poured herself a cup. Once putting the drink away she then took a few sips of the said liquid and looked at her siblings.

"Anyone want to help me cook breakfast?" she questioned the guys and gal who occupied the kitchen. Even though Liling didn't look like it, the Chinese girl was indeed a rather good cook; however, she hated frying, "Also, I'm running to the store later... Anyone need anything or wanna come for the sake of it...?"

All the noise! There was so much noise as the house was coming to life and it was making it difficult for Eleanor to even think about going back to sleep. "Why, why must the world wake up so early?" She complained to herself as she pulled her pulled herself from her sleep cacoon. She did her best not to look out the window as her foot got caught in her blanket bundle causing her to fall hard on the floor.

"Just a typical morning," she grumbled to her self as she freed her foot and walked over to her dresser. Nothing. Her drawers were empty. "Why," she asked herself as she recalled not bringing her laundry back to the room when she had done it last. Looking in the mirror that was attached to her dresser she just wanted to give up. Her hair was a mess, it was all messed up from sleep and was tangled beyond belief. Her makeup was smeared as she didn't wash it off the night before. She looked like a monster and more than likely was gonig to hear it when she went downstairs.

She sighed as she slid her feet across the floor to move herself out of her room and down the hallway. Stairs though, they didn't agree with her movements so she actually had to pick her feet up. Eleanor was nearing the kitchen when she heard Raven talking about the juice. She stumbled in and said in as threatening of a tone she could, "James if you drank out of the carton again, I swear I am going to kill you." There was only thing that Eleanor couldn't stand during the wee hours of the morning and that would be the wee hours of them morning themselves, and people ruining the beloved beverage of orangey goodness.

She didn't stop as she walked through the kitchen and into the laundry room grabbing her basket. Eleanor wasn't completely lazy, just really lazy in the morning. Carrying her folded clothes back to through kitchen she then threatened, "Don't say anything." Just in case they decided to make a comment on how she looked. She passed Liling on her way back to her room and just said a simple, "Morning," to her. The others, she didn't, not yet, it was too early and they were all too active.

Once back in her room, she pulled out a pair of grey skinny jeans and a black fitted tee from Disney's Tower of Terror. After grabbing whatever else she needed to get ready, Eleanor practically had to drag herself to the bathroom. After showering, drying her hair, straightening it, doing her makeup, and getting dressed she felt much better. Everyone always seemed to say that it took her forever to get ready. Looking at the clock she smiled and said, "Ha it was only half an hour fools."

Eleanor, being in a much better mood after waking up in her hot shower trotted back down stairs. "Morning all," she said in a chipper voice as she sat down on one of the stools. Raven was no longer in the kitchen, from the looks of it she wanted to watch something on tv wtih someone. Eleanor would join her once she got food and she would get food once she got to the bottom of the orange juice situation.

Entering the kitchen, Ripley saw only Raven and James there, though the small group soon came to include Alex, Nikki, Roni, and Li. Man people were waking up fast. He turned over to James when Raven commented on him drinking the carton and only shook his head in response. Great now it's going to taste like James's mouth. "So much for drinking orange juice then," he said wryly before hearing Li's question. Well there were some things he wanted, but they couldn't be bought in a grocery store. Well, unless you were mom's age. What else did he want though? He didn't want any candy or drinks in particular so some chips perhaps?

"Aye Li, can you get me some Munchies?" Ripley asked finally. He wouldn't help her cook though. He was bad at cooking in all aspects except for perhaps making some simple dishes (like spam...or instant noodles). In fairness, he could also be a bartender some day (with his knowledge of drinks), but alcohol wasn't breakfast food. Walking over to the cabinet, he pulled out a mug for himself before looking in the pantry for a bag of ground coffee, idly wondering if the coffee maker was on or not. A caffeine kick would have been nice right about now (especially for grumpy-as-hell El).

James looked over to Ripley with a look of disappointment, placing the orange juice carton on the corner which resulted in some of it splashing everywhere. "Rip, if you have a problem with me drinking my orange juice that I bought with my money then take it up with someone else. Besides I only let you drink this stuff once, so relax kid." He screwed the cap back onto the box and placed it back in its proper place. Turning back, Norville looked at Li when she talked about going to the store later. "I'll go for you Li. I don't want you going out alone this early in the morning," he said it protectively and grimaced a bit at the thought of something happening to his 'sister'. "Let me get my keys and I'll be ready." Running through the kitchen after squeezing between his other 'brothers and sisters' and ran up to his room to get the keys to his ride. Once he'd gotten the keys, he slid down the banister and poked his head through the doorway. "Okay Lin make a list so I can head out. I wanna hurry up before my shift starts at the store."

"Dude I was just joking," Ripley said, mentally rolling his eyes. Who needed to chill exactly? "I didn't mean to offend you." He wasn't sure of the tone that he used, other than a dry one but he hadn't thought it would have so easily ticked off James. Perhaps it was because it was the morning or because Raven had already given him shit for it (and yet James took it out on him? Pfft, what a double standard!). Well whatever the reason was, it didn't seem like James would stick around to further be offended by him or listen to Ripley's clarification as the older boy decided to go with Li to the grocery store. Personally Ripley didn't want to go. He didn't feel like being well, social in the morning. He'd rather stay inside and finish his scratch board art of the Statue of Liberty. His studio art class had an assignment to draw famous landmarks in the U.S. He was adding his own spin of course. Why "just" scratch in the Statue of Liberty when you could do that and draw the Cloverfield monster attacking the still figure.

Raven heard some putting something on the couch near her. Seeing the cute bunny bag she smiled and was about to pounce of Li but Li had already walked over to the counter. “LI!!! Now stay put so I can pounce on thee.” Grinning she dropped the remote on the couch and wondered over to Li. Smiling she giggled and then once Li was down talking about going to the store she pounced lightly and hugged Li. “Mine!” her smiled turned into s huge grin and she continued hugging Li, until James started to get upset. “Awww James I was just playing around.” She watched him as he walked up stair. Then she just stared as she noticed El coming from the laundry room and then heading back upstairs. Thinking on a way to help she was going to go to her bedroom and grab that sleeping machine that she used a few times and give it to El, but her train of thought was dying. James came back and he was going to head out to the store.
Bouncing lightly, Rave wondered over to James and poked his nose. “Need any company?” she looked around once more before leaving, it seems that almost everyone was up already. Only 3 more sleepy heads and then all the kids would be up. Raven was actually wondering what Ms. Sarah was up to right now, thinking about it for a while she then smiled and plopped on the couch for her sketch pad and then ran back to her room. She knew that her shift at the mall at the around the same time of James’, so it would be a possibly good idea for them to go together since they work near each other. On the other hand, many just because she was somewhat bored, she does just bored very quickly and she liked to look at things in stores, they just peeked her interest.
“I’ll be right back.. Nothing exciting while I’m gone.” She skipped on up the stairs and quickly and quietly ran into her room. Getting out her new uniform, she slipped it on. It was this cute little dress that had her work’s name on it, and the same shoes she was wearing before, they just got the new shipment in, so no one has seen them yet and she wondered what everyone would think. She also grabbing her backpack, it was filled with everything she needed [id, wallet, jeans, shirt and snack], and then headed down the stairs. She jumped down the last five stairs and blushed, her dress had flown up when she jumped and now she tried to keep it down. Holding it she smiled embarrassedly and the tried to look away. “So, um store food, work?” She was not sure what to talk about.

[total Merlin Monroe! lolz]

Nicki laughed when Rave explained her drawing to him. He reached across and gently poked James. "Save a little for the others James, it ain't all for you." He smirked faintly before attempting feebly to conceal a yawn. It was definately too early, but there was no chance for him going to sleep again. Shaking his head, he rubbed his eyes before smiling a little as others started filing into the room. When Li asked if anyone felt like helping her to cook, he was very tempted to accept the invitation. Despite being pretty lazy, he was starving and the food would be cooked a lot quicker if he helped.
"Hey Li, I'll help out if ya want." He offered, moving away to stand beside her with a cheerful smile.

However, the moment El appeared his attention was dragged away quickly. She may not have been looking the way she did after her 'morning rituals' as he liked to call them, but that was one of the things he liked about El. Other guys may like her cause of her partying personality or well kept appearance, but he felt almost privilaged to be able to see her when she was most like herself. If that even made sense anyway. Shaking his head a little he looked away, making sure to keep his smile on his face. Rolling his eyes, Nicki sighed when James seemed to get angry. "Gee I love my family, everyone's always in such a good mood." He joked before a look of sudden remembrance flickered over his expression. "Jaaaames...Could you buy me some more sweets? I've almost run out!" He asked in that whining tone people used where you could always tell they wanted something. Pausing, Nicki glanced around when Rave re-entered the room. A low whistle sounded from his lips as he gave her a teasing grin. "Lovin' the uniform Rave, is it new?"

Emilia Hart
The Shy Girl

Emilia laid in her bed, engulfed by her massive comforter. She had just awoke from a dream that she had dreamt many times. She sighed, thinking about her biological parents. She tried very hard to keep them out of her head, but in the silence of the night they creeped into her room, and into her dreams. This particular dream had been of her parents, taking her on a picnic. Sure it all sounds wonderful at first. The sun is high in the sky, and the grass is green. All flowers are in bloom as they sit upon a blanket near a stream. Quickly the paradise is broken when a van arrives, spilling out men in police suits. They make their way towards her and her family, grabbing her mama by the arms and pushing her daddy to the ground. The police men dragged her parents to their van, grabbing Emilia along with them.

Pulling the covers off herself, she rose out of her bed. She was wearing a knee length nightgown. This was her favorite nightgown which she tried to wear as often as possible. Emilia didn't feel the need to get dressed up on this Saturday morning. She walked to her dresser and brushed her long, brown hair. Looking in her mirror she put on a smile, practicing for downstairs where her foster family was. Letting out another quick sigh, she grabbed her stuffed animal and walked towards her bedroom door. She always got a little nervous seeing her foster family for the first time everyday. Holding her bear Gizmo she tip toed down the stairs. She could hear everyone was awake already, and being quite loud. She reached the bottom of the stairs, and made her way to the kitchen table, taking a seat.

Eleanor just sat and watched her family, it was ever eventful in that house, no matter what time it was. She hated that partly, that meant that early morning on the weekends, much like today, the house was noisy. Today wasn't so bad, but tomorrow, tomorrow would be bad. Most of the time it was talking, but the occasional arguments broke out and it was during those times you thought World War III had started.

The dark haired girl made no attempt to join in on the conversation, it was better that way because as long as the group didn't realize she had rejoined them, it was more likely that her earlier appearance would not be brought up. An almost flowly movement caught Eleanor's eye as Emilia enter the room and sat down siliently. She smiled and got up. The older girl pulled out a seat and sat down next to her. "How ya doing today?" She asked quietly as to not draw attention from the rest of the group. Emilia was quiet, usually, at least in the mornings and that meant that on those fated weekend mornings Eleanor knew that this girl had nothing to do with the issue that would be her headache. Rather than staring at the girl, Eleanor went back to looking at the group. She saw Rip and casted him a glance, almost asking if he was ready for tonight.

Raven’s face turned brighter red then before. Nodding softly at Nicki’s question she put on a small smile. “Just got them in yesterday.” She tugged on the dress, trying to make it longer. For once in her life, could something embarrassing happen when Nicki wasn’t around.. oh no then were would be the fun in that. Taking a deep breath, she needed to find something to stop the blush, but what.
Hearing little feet pitter-patter on down the stairs, Rave smiled and softly walked over to Emma. She lightly wrapped her arms around this cutie and then kissed her hair softly. “Sweetie want anything from the store, James and I are going there as soon as a list is made. Want anything special.” Rave loved to get Emma whatever she could cause that girl was just to cute in her opinion. Getting up she looked over at the pad of paper on the counter. Getting a pen out she soon wrote on it: Grocery list. “Alright in a nice, quiet order, what does everyone need?” standing by James, she held the pen ready to write the list down.

[and now I'm off to clean the house, i might still be on for another 30-45 minutes]

Ripley had not waited for James's reply and instead went back to making coffee, pulling out and plugging in the coffee maker. He put a few scoops of ground up coffee in a coffee filter and sticking that into the maker as well. Now all he needed was the water. He hadn't heard of anyone else coming down until the steps became more audible. Turning back, he saw Emily, the youngest of the "family" sitting at the kitchen table. She was quiet (as usual) and didn't make a move to interact with anyone. Instead Roni had done so first, sitting next to Emily. He gave a small nod to Eleanor, seeing her look thrown towards him, getting an idea of what she meant. Turning back to the coffee maker, he fetched some tap water and poured it into the water reservoir and then turned the machine on. It would be another while before he would get his cup of java, but he could wait. Walking to the kitchen table, he sat in a chair near Emily and Roni, giving them both a smile. "Morning Em, Roni."
