an empty park

[Neil Sanders]

"Course I know her...I'm Neil Sanders. I know everybody!" He chuckled and started playing with the window button, making it go up and down. He glanced over at Duelo and grinned widely. "SOUP! I want soup. Can you make me soup? Tomato!!!!"

[Duelo Alan Wood]

Duelo gave him a look. " yeah okay... would you like little gold fish as well?" he said sarcastically.

[Neil Sanders]

Neil shot him a look like he was crazy. "Uh no. Everyone knows it's all the rage to eat little dolphins...so go find me some baby dolphins to eat."

[Duelo Alan Wood]

Duelo just laughed and rolled his eyes as he came up to the house. " how about you make the hot chocolate and finito..." he smirked and got out.

[Neil Sanders]

He pouted a little bit but smiled after a while and got out, slamming the door as hard as he could before hopping to the front door. "Yay! Open it!" Neil said bluntly, laughing as he pointed to the door.

[Duelo Alan Wood]

Duelo glared at him a bit before opening the door. For some reason Neil was making it so hard for Duelo to trust him.

[Neil Sanders]

Neil ran into the house, straight to the kitchen so he could make the hot chocolate. "Hey poochie? Do me a favor and uh...read me this." He shoved a cookbook in Duelo's face, on a page that said how to make hot chocolate. "And make sure that book stays close to your face, dawg."

[Duelo Alan Wood]

Duelo held the book. " do you really need me to read you a book on how to make it?" he asked letting the book sit on the counter. " thats just-" but he was cut short when Meia walked in and seeing Neil pushed Duelo out of the way to hug him. " NEIL!!!!!!!!!" she shouted with much enthusiasm.

[Neil Sanders]

Looking down, Neil's face brightened and he hugged Meia back, laughing because he was happy to see her and because she just pushed Duelo out of the way. Bonus. "MEIA!!!!! How ya been? Probably better than that poochie over there cuz he's being SO useless to me right now!" He looked over at Duelo and winked, then laughed to show he didn't really mean it. But it was oh so true.

[Duelo Alan Wood]

Meia looked up at him and nodded. " I've been just amazing... and I take it you just gave him a nickname? I like it... fits him perfectly.." she smiled pulling away and looking at Duelo.

Duelo glared at both of them and sighed. He looked down " Im going to get change.." he mumbled before turning around and exiting.

Meia rolled her eyes but smiled looking back at Neil. " I havent seen you in forever and a day!!!!! where have you been hinding?!?!?!"

[Neil Sanders]

"With the lepruchans, of course!" He laughed and hoisted himself up onto one of the counters, letting his legs swing back and forth as he smiled at Meia. "I needed some...advice." Neil's face fell for a split second but then his loopy smile was back. "So will you help me make this hot chocolate?"

[Duelo Alan Wood]

Meia looked down at her hands. " BUT I JUST GOT MY NAILS DONE!!!" she whined but then looked around. " why not just ask Cindy?"

[Neil Sanders]

He laughed and took hold of her hands in his. "It's ok, see?" Neil rubbed Meia's hands in his and some of the polish came off in his hands. "It was cheap-o polish anyway! No big deal! Now can you help me?"

[Duelo Alan Wood]

Meia nearly screamed. " what?!?!? its not..." she protested and looked back down she sighed. " fine... how hard can this be anyways.." she opened up a cabinit and seeing all the spices and little bottle looking stuff grabed a few. " whats rosemary?" she asked.

[Neil Sanders]

Neil shrugged. "Why'd you kill a small girl named Rose Mary and stick her in a bottle is the proper question here, I think." He turned to look at Meia with a serious expression.

[Meia Alan Wood]

She looked at the bottle with amusement and shoved it in his face almost. " THATS SOOOOO COOL!!!!!" she smiled and shook the bottle. " Does hot chocolate call for that?"

[Neil Sanders]

"Poochie's does." He glanced over at the stairs and laughed lightly before looking back at Meia. "He told me to give him extra rosemary." Neil grinned innocently at her before looking in the fridge for the milk.

[Meia Alan Wood]

She shrugged and shook it one last time " alright..." she put it aside and keeped going thru the rest of them. " what type of chocolate?"

[Neil Sanders]

".......Dark. We gots to melt it. Cuz Poochie told me dark chocolate." Neil grinned and took out regular Hershey's syrup for him, then the whipped cream and opened his mouth, spraying some inside.

[Meia Alan Wood]

She watched him and couldn't actually remember what Duelo was alergic to. Was it chocolate or raisins. She thought about saying something but couldnt remember. " Why are we making hot chocolate anyways?"

[Neil Sanders]

Neil laughed and shook his head. "Cuz clumsy little poochie fell in a lake." He turned away from Meia so she wouldn't see the dark look he knew was in his eyes. "He tripped over a twig and fell...splash!"

[Meia Alan Wood]

"OH! that would explain why he was all wet..." she mumbled and walked over to Neil. " wait? no what really happened?" having seen his little suspisious act.

[Neil Sanders]

"Wha-uh...he tripped over a...turtle..." He smiled at her and nodded, leaning against a counter. "It came out of nowhere and when I tried to offer my hand to help him, he smacked it away and just...fell back into the water. Tis a pity. And a shame..." Neil bowed his head like Duelo was dead.

[Meia Alan Wood]

Meia looked at him, studing his expression. " okay..." she said smiling and walking over to the stove. " How do you turn this on?"

[Neil Sanders]

Neil looked at the stove and came up behind her as he looked down at it. "Whaaaa? You mean you don't know? But Little Cube...you live here..."

[Meia Alan Wood]

She turn a little to look at him. " That dont mean I thing..." she mumbled knowing that was a stupid answer. " thats why I have Alice..." she whispered in shame.

[Neil Sanders]

He laughed and put his hand on her shoulder. "It's cool, it's cool I'll teach you, ok? It's not hard at all...All ya gotta do is turn the knob and if a marriachi (I def can't spell that haha) band comes out, you did it right. Serious."

[Meia Alan Wood]

She looked at him and smiled "seriously???" she asked with much enthusiasm. She reached for it and Turned it but it was hard. " ugh... It's NOT turning!!!" she whined now trying with both her hands.

(( ugh... Darling just stop while your ahead...

[Neil Sanders]

((yeah ok...uhm...boo haha ))

Neil raised his eyebrows at her. It couldn't be that hard, could it? He laughed quietly, then louder until his laugh echoed through the house. "Little cube, you have to push it in first and then turn the knob. Oh, you're killin' me!" He clutched his chest like he'd been shot and feel dramatically to his knees. "Oh the agony!" Neil moaned.

[Meia Alan Wood]

Meia did as told and the stove actually turned on. " Whoa!!!!! awesome!!!" she said too excited about her achivement to see what Neil was doing.
