My little brother wants to try character chatting. Please be patient with him.

Cricket: "Ah." He smiled. "I'm not sure what t' expect. S'pose that's a good and a bad thing."

Callie: As we aproched the doors Lucy ran ahead and waited at the desk. "Welcome to The 145" I smiled, entering the roller rink.

Cricket: he chuckled, raised an eyebrow, and then smiled as he walked in the door. "Nice, nice. This'll be fun, aye? Flashy." He said to Callie before running to catch up with Lucy.

Lucy squealed and ran in circles.
Callie: I couldnt help but giggle, "Cricket get Lucy, bring her here we have to get our skates!" I called to them as the lady handed me our tickets.

Cricket: "Aye aye," he said, and watched at Lucy ran circles around him. "A'right, lassy, come along." He reached down with one arm and picked her up so she hung on his forearm, and set her down in front of her sister.

Lucy giggled and clung to his arm. "Nope!" She exclaimed.
Callie: I just laughed, "This way." We walked back towards the shoe rack, which smelled like a bowling ally. "7, please?" I asked the girl behind the counter and handed her my shoes.

Cricket: "Nine, please." He smiled.

The man just stared at him.
Callie: I nudged Cricket.

(oops XD)

Cricket: "Ah...in mens?"

The guy raised a brow and gave him a look.
Callie: I giggled. "You have to give him your shoes!" I told him.
Lucy thought it was hysterical

Cricket: he laughed. "Right, right." He handed the guy his shoes, shaking his head at himself. "Oi my my..."

(HAHA!!!)

Callie: "That takes serious smarts" I teased.
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ!
I picked up my phone. "Where you be?" She asked. I could hear her from in the building; I scoped the room for her.
"I'm at the shoe pick up..." I said.
"Oh!" She exclaimed and from a distance I could see a small redheaded girl spin around. That was her.

Cricket: " 'ey, in my defense I've never been to a skating rink in my life." He saw the redheaded girl. "That her?"

Nova James
16


"Callie!" Nova squealed and ran at me. We collided in a giant girl hug with lots of giggles and spining.
"I havent seen you in so long! It's been like what? 3 days now? I thought I was going to die." She said dramaticly, but very serious. She stopped and stared at Cricket with her hands on her hips, head cocked to the right.
"Who's the boy?"
Callie: I pulled over Cricket. "Cricket, this is Nova. Nova this is my friend Cricket." I introduced.

Cricket: he laughed when they hugged and put his hand up in a wave. " 'ello."

Nova looked him over in a very non-subtle way.
"He's cute. Bit foreign looking isnt he?"
Callie: "Nova behave yourself!" I chastised playfully.
Nova: "Behave? What is this word "behave"?" She laughed.

Lucy: "Nora!" Lucy exclaimed and jumped on her.

Cricket: he laughed again. "Nice t' meet you, too."

Nova threw him a quick smile before scooping up Lucy. It looked almost like she would snap under the weight of her being so such a tiny girl.
Callie: "Lets skate!" I laced my skates on.

heeeeellllooo.......?

(sorry!) Cricket: he laced up his skates and stood up, and it was a wierd sensastion to move without walking. "A'right," he mumbled to himself, and pushed himself on one foot to experiment. He smiled to himself. "A'right." Pretty soon he was on the skating rink, trying to catch up with the rest of them. He did with a grin. "I thought this would he hard! It's not."

Nova: "HA. Have you ever skated before kid?" She quirked a brow, observing his skates.

Callie: I shookmy head, putting my hands behind my back and smiled. "Nova be nice." I reminded her.

Nova: "Psh," She scoffed with an eyeroll. "Nice? What is this word you speak of? I know not what I means."

Cricket: he laughed. "Nah. First time for everything. Not much space t' skate where I'm from. But really, this is easy! Race ya!" He sped out ahead.

Callie: "I dont race!" I called to him as he sped by. I took Lucys hand and led her around the turn.

Nova: "You're on!" I chased after him.

Cricket: he was a fast runner. Skating wasn't all that different, except you didn't stop moving when your feet did. He was already far past Nova before she started, so to be fair, he slowed down a bit. Just enough for her to catch up. No fun winning an unfair race.

Nova: I cut The Boy off and winked at him as we passes around the second turn. I was getting a bit of a lead on him, but not too much.
