rima laughed and nudged his shoulder. "you know what i meant, but im glad to have you back to your regular pervy self, riker." she pulled her legs up on the couch and faced him, crossing her legs under her. she took another sip of the wine and sighed. "you know my birthday is in a few days." she grinned.

He frowned, "Really? That would make you, what... Fifteen?" He sipped and raised his eyebrows quizzically, "And what does the birthday Girl want on her most auspicious of cermemonies of aging Hmmm? A pretty pony perhaps? or maybe a new puppy?" He chuckled and sat up, "Seriously though, your birthday? Damn... caught me off guard..."

rima smiled and leaned back closing her eyes. "you know, if i remember correctly, your only a few months older than me." she sighed and sipped the wine again. "i dont want anything. this is my present." she said sitting up and opening her eyes. she gestured around the room and looked at him. "and this isnt even the place of destination!" she laughed.

He groaned, "Now I feel bad, this was more or less me just up and deciding to ditch school." He waved his hands lazily and sighed, "Now I REALLY have to get you something," he glared at her and shook his head chuckling, "ooh, your good. your really good."

rima bent over laughing and held her stomache with one arm and wiped away her tears with her other arm. "i swear! i dont want anything!" she smiled. "your presence is all i need, riker." she cooed and pinched his nose.

"yob hoodink meee." He grinned and pushed her back, falling atop her, "Oh is that so? just me hmm?"

Zen set his glass down on the coffee table and walked into the bedroom, taking his bag with him he put it at the end of the farthest bed he kicked of his shoes and crawled under teh covers. Once in place he started to cry Why Me, How come I always fuck up, The bomb, MY plan to kill Sarah, Now this damn picture. "Why me?" he said aloud, softly, threw his tears

He glanced over his shoulder, raising an eyebrow and sighed, "No no. I got it." rolling off the couch he stood up and strode over to the door, "Hey zen. I'm comin in." Without waiting he pushed the door open and shook his head, "dude. Whats wrong? Cmon." Sitting at the side of the bed, he grinned, "Talk. Now."

"Why should I?" asked Zen still crying, "You already said if we say shit is bound to happen just like in the films" Zen did not look at Riker he kept his back to him. "So NO I am not going to talk"

"Dammit. It was a joke. Relax a little and loosen up. Look at me!" He grinned and pulled zen over to look at him, "Besides, can't help you if you don't tell me whats wrong. Lemme tell you, thats gonna seriously cramp my style."

"But your right about the movie thing, everytime we said something it happened in a way" Zen said shacking out of Rikers hold and rolling back over "And since when do any of us HAVE to talk?" tears still rolling down his face.

"Since I said so. Spill." He pulled the covers down and glared, "And no. Thats not true, watch." Turning to look out the room he said, "gee I sure hope there are no zombie ninjas that come to eat our brains." Pausing for a few seconds he turned back to Zen, "See?"

"Yeah cause that will never happen that is why it won't work. I don't feel like talking. You know a true friend does not want to talk when it is covenient for them. Before when I wanted to talk you blew me off, what goes around comes around, Crama is a Bitch" Said Zen taking the covers back and shoving Riker away rolling over so his back was to him.

"Oh. Thats what this is about than hm?" He stood up and walked to the door, "Fine, Zen. Be that way. If your not going to let me help, just fine. I am not responsible for your happiness. If you want my help, than come and get it. Otherwise, you can wallow in yourself."

"GOOD, YOU FINALY SAID SOMETHING THAT MAKES A SPOT OF SENCE" Shouted Zen. He did a double take internaly, the last time he yelled at Riker like that was when they first met. "I NEVER WANTED YOUR HELP I JUST WANTED TO BE LEFT ALONE BUT YOU ARE TO THICK TO SEE THAT"

He glanced coldly over his shoulder and said quietly, "You should have thought about that when you became my friend." Closing the door he sighed.

"WELL THEN MAUBE WE SHOULDN'T HAVE" screamed Zen as the door closed. He started crying harder rolling over under the covers he thought Well FUCK there goes that, but now he knows how I feel. Zen just lay there staring at the darkness tears rolling down his face.

(( AAAH! SORRY IVE BEEN GONE! ^^" PLEASE FORGIVE MEEEE! ))
rima stared at the door as they both left and winced when they yelled. she didnt like it when they yelled since they had only realy yelled at eachother once before. she stood up when riker came out and looked between him and the door. "what happened in there?" she asked quietly. she wanted to go see zen, but after hearing them both, she wasnt about to crank out her motherly attitude anytime soon. "it sounded bad..." she bit her lip and stared at the door again.

He winced, "It... it was." He shook his head and slid down the wall and covered his face, "I just wanted to help. Nothin wrong with that right?" Shaking his head he looked up at her and shook his head "Right?"

rima sighed and walked over to him slowly, sitting down next to him. "there is nothing wrong with trying to help." she pulled her knees up to her stomache and looked at him worridly. "trying to help is better than not bothering at all."

"I don't know whats wrong. I mean. Jesus," shrugging he reached around her "this isn't anything like how I wanted this to go. It was supposed to be a fun time."

rima scooched closer to him and nodded. "it will be fun. we just have to figure out how to forget about those." she said, pointing to the fallen picture on the other side of the room.

He shook his head, "Come on... They aren't that bad are they? I mean hell. Thats nothing. Its not like we haven't seen truly scary shit right?"

rima sighed and shook her head. "its what they can lead to though. i know it scares zen. hell, it even scares me a little." she pulled her legs up to herself more and propped her chin on her knees. "i hope it gets better to deal with soon..."

He grinned and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "You... scared? Now thats scary." He grinned and sighed, "But really, we are leaving the state tomorrow. In a mansion. Of an Oil tycoon. Even if we where staying at the White House we couldnt be safer. Relax. Would I be so... well... me, if we wheren't safe?"
