CHARACTER CHAT!!!!

Ami: I turned to him and glanced at Mike quickly before whispering quickly in his ear. "He's hitting on Marnie. Just...don't tell Mike. We don't want him...over reacting." he can turn Hulkish when it came to Marnie. I'd hate to see his power unleashed on this guy.

Cricket: "Aye Aye." He nodded quickly. The flirt.

Benny: I nodded at her. "Ok ho capito. Mi dispiace. Mi dispiace." I looked at the boy next to her and smiled. "I'm not flirting with her."

Cricket cocked an eyebrow at him. That wasn't obvious at all. But he didn't say anything. Mike's power hadn't been demonstrated yet, and he wasn't keen on that happening now.

Kimmi: "He's what? With who?" I said interested.
Ami: I shot her a look. i forced myself to blush and direct attention away from Marnie.
Emily: "OOoooooh!" i laughed.

Benny: My chest rumbled with a laugh and I looked at them from the rearview. "What? Something funny?"

Cricket shook his head, smirking. Change of subject. "So..." he looked around. "How do we all like Italy so far, eh?"

Jess: "Better than France," I chimed and everyone laughed agreement. Oh, if Benny only knew....

Cricket: he laughed and looked at Benny. "You 'ave no idea."

Benny: I furrowed my brow. "Io non capisco .... Ci può spiegare?" I asked the girl. "I mean, Italia's much better than France, but why is that funny?"

Cricket: "Had t' be there," he said, grinning.

Benny: "Tu sei di gran lunga il gruppo più strano che abbia mai incontrato ..." I Muttered under my breath, my eyes flickering to them and back to the road. I made a sharp turn, lots of pressure.

Cricket: he stiffened at the sudden turn, then relaxed. He eyed Benny, wondering what the words meant. Oh, well. He had his own language. He looked ahead and let out a high, quick whistle, then heard Finn snicker behind him. The whistle meant "rich bastard."

Benny: I had a weird feeling about the sudden whistle,but I shook it off. "So where're you guys headed? "

Cricket: "Wherever you're driving," he said, shrugging. "Thanks for that, by th' way...you sure you don' mind?"

Benny: "If I minded I wouldn't be driving you right?" I said, smiling, showing white teeth. "I mean when I drop you off. Where'll you guys go then?"

Cricket: "Aw, we'll find a place someplace." He grinned reassuringly.

Marnie: "Cricket, are you forgetting? We made reservations beforehand." I lied quickly. What he said made us suspicious.
Mike: "Yup, at the Courtyard Motel," I said, pulling a name from no where.

Cricket: "Ah, the Courtyard," he said. He forgot to keep his guard up, and when his guard was down, he ran his mouth. Whoops.

Benny: Courtyard Motel didn't exist. But I ould see why they were lying. Didn't trust me yet. "I think you mean Campo di Fiori. Courtyard doesn't exist," I said with a laugh. Eh. I wasn't one to pry, so if they wanted to lie they could. My eyes glinted a bit from the lie, but I was sure no one noticed.

Cricket smirked, and his eyes flashed back to Benny. He smiled. So much for 'you can trust me'. "A'right," he said. "Where's Campo di Fiori?" No use lying anymore; he couldn't deny that he'd said Courtyard.

Benny: "'s off the coast, actually. Really beautiful place. I can drop you off in that general area. That's another thing: Campo di Fiori's probably the safest area around. Close to Venus." There. By saying I would drop em off in the general area, that gave them the chance to walk away and not be forced to check in.

Cricket: "Ah. Sounds nice," he said, wondering why he was going to all of this trouble.

Benny: "Molto bella," I said. "How long've you been in Europe?o

Cricket: "A few days," he said. "What 'bout you?"
