Mari frowned drinking too, "Yeah I know…I'll be okay though for a while now…"

Alex nodded, "Well lets hope so..."

Mari smiled, "Its usually only once a year unless the purple ponies show up on the tv again…" Mari rolled her eyes at one to the inside jokes she made wit Lorry randomly at the sleep over with everyone else, "But no I'll be okay I mean I headdesk often just in agrivation it's just when it's done over and over that it's a problem…"

"Well thats good...I hate to see people struggleing...with anything really...letting go even once a year is healthy to a degree i think. But you do...need something...im not sure what that is yet though," she said with a somber sigh.

Mari shook her head sadly thinking, "Yeah I don't know…probally a lot of stuff…"

"Fair enough," She said with a shrug and tossed her coffee cup into the waistbasket in a perfect arch.
"Yes!" She cried, thrusting her fist into the air at her achievement.

Mari thought about doing the same but was pretty sure it would fail. But she did it anyway it hit. And fell. "Damn." Mari said going to put it away.

"And now you owe me twenty push ups for littering," Alex declared with a grin.

Mari groaned, "I hate push ups…"

"I dont want to hear another word out of you Priivate! Now drop and give me twenty," Alex boomed in her very best impersonation of a drill sargent.

"Sir yes sir Mama Morton!" She said doing so then paused halfway through them all looking at Alec laughter on her face.

"Go bitch gooooo!" she said and flogged her with her imaginary wip.

Mari laughed doing the last ten before pretending to die.

"Annother for the morge," She said in the same voice as she shook her head in disapointment.

"Brains!" Mari said gettig up and walking over to her Thriller zombie style which yes looked retarded.

"NAHHHH" Alex screemed and jumped out of her seat like she had just seen a ghost, and ran like mad around the sidewalk, futher prooving why she had went to a performing arts school. People of course stared at the sudden outburst with awe and concern for the escaped mental patient running around unsupervised.

Mari chased her screaming brains until she was stopped by a police officer. "What he hell are you doing?"
Mari looked up at the Police Officer, "Kale? Uh hi long time no see…were playing Zombie Tag…" She grinned at Kiro's better father.
He nodded he looked like crap, "Just becareful running around here isn't really allowed…" Mari nodded solmly as Kale let go. "Good um Mari how's Kiro?" He asked guenially worried.
"Oh she's okay she's staying with Chris most the time." Mari said with a frown. Kale sighed noding.

"All the time," Alex corrected with an inconspicuous eye role.

Kale nodded, "He's good for her. He'll be there and protect her…I wish I could have." He said looking down guilt and regret I his eyes.
Mari nodded sadly, "She doesn't blame you…she still loves you she just scared of him…"
"Yes she's told me so but it doesn't change much of anything."

Alex looked away awkwardly, not really sure that she should be apart of this conversation. She bearly knew Kiro after all.

"Well good luck Kale. The Cainable clan is crazy soo…" Mari said trailing off. Kale laughed saying thanks before leaving. Mari sighed, "Kiro realy wants him to get custody it would be good for both of them. They used to be really close before Jean went off the deep end."

"Really? Thats...really sad actually, I dont know Kiro that well, but I do like her...Im sad to hear about her dad," Alex said quietly.

Mari nodded with a sigh. She remembered parties of Kiro's she used to go to when they were in Middle School. Kale would always pretend to be a Magician or Puppeteer. Kiro loved it, Jean did not. He said it was a waste of effort and that it would just be easier to hire someone to entertain. And so Kale stopped but would always do something with the gang once a month taking them to a park, zoo or even Warehouse 13. Mari looked at Alex, "Yeah it's tough...especially with all the bad shit that's been happening..." Mari folded her arms thinking.

"Yea...we really do have the gloomyest and crazy bunch dont we?" Alex said with a laugh.

Mari looked at her a smiled coming out as well as a laugh, "Absolutely!" She said smiling, "But then again our school is call AAA...." Mari laughed cheering up.
