OOC:The part has not startedyet, we are still setting some things up

Orlando sat on he yacht, a butterbeer in his hand. He was waiting for Nekoda to arrive so they could sart planning out the party oh an also to flirt. It was going to be nice you know, not having Savannah around. He loved his sister but she did bug him for flirting Nekoda. This seriously got annoying.Couldn't she just be happy that he picked out a girl she actually liked ? Jeez... he took a sip of his butterbeer and sighed. All he could do was wait.

Nekoda apparated to the front of the Conrad beach house. Oh, how wonderful it was to be of age! Eep! Walking right through the house, because honestly it was like her second home, she went straight out to the yacht. Where she was supposed to be meeting Orlando, and maybe Xio as well. Though of course, Nekoda hadn't paid THAT much attention to the trivial details.

All she knew is she and Orlando were planning for Sav. What else needed to be clarified?

Stepping onto the boat, she walked around behind Orlando after she spotted him, placing her hands over his eyes. Leaning down, she whispered in his ear. "Guess who."

A smirk grew on the boy's face, he knew who it was. He knew that voice from a mile away it seemed. He was going to play dumb though."I don't know...?"He said, the smirk was still on his face."It isn't a gorgeous girl named Nekoda, right ?"He said.He knew it was though, Ah...he loved Savannah being gone already. He pushed her hands off his eyes,"Kody..."He said, looking at her. Could this girl get any more hotter ? Honestly ?

Nekoda pouted when he said he didn't know. Seriously? How could Orlando not be able to recognize her voice! Oh, but wait! He was only messing with her. And that cheered her up considerably. "Of course. Bonus points to you for adding the gorgoues." she giggled slightly, before allowing him to push her hands away. She crossed her arms over her chest, stepping back a little.

"What? No hug?" Pout. And then he said her name, but that was it. And again, though she probably shouldn't have cared. Nekoda's heart skipped a beat and she allowed herself to drop her arms, smiling sweetly at him. "What Orlando?"

Psh... of course she was getting a hug! Possibly a kiss if that is what she wanted. Orlando stood up, wrapping his extremely muscly arms around her giving her a giant bear hug. He picked her up off the ground,laughing. Man, she was light ! He then placed her back on the ground, smirk still intact."All beter now ?"He said putting his sunglasses on and smiling at the girl."So miss Nekoda, how have you been ?He asked, looking at her up and down.

Yey! Hug time with Orlando! She hugged him back, laughing with him as he picked her up. "Blimey. How your able to do that is beyond me!" She wasn't fat of course, but she wasn't a feather either. But, Orlando had gotten pretty muscley lately.

And then he was examing her, and Nekoda smiled, rolling her eyes slightly. Of course she was secretly loving the attention. Okay, well maybe it wasn't a secret that she was enjoying the attention. But still! "I've been great! Super glad to be out of school, and of course getting the chance to see you!" she replied, winking at him before turning to look at the water. "Seriously, your place just seems to get even beautifuler every time I see it."

Orlando rolled his eyes, "Kody, I play sports, I life weights. Those two things usually mean I will gain a fair amount of muscle."He said, flexing his arm. Yeah, he liked to show off, especially in front of pretty girls and Nekoda defiantly fell in that category.

Orlando chuckled slightly as he heard Nekoda speak, of course she missed him. He missed her as well, he wasn't going to shout that from a roof top though. He had always been a bit more shy than the rest of his family."Sav tells me you plan on yelling at Aiden tonight.."he said, with a snort. It didn't surprise him at all, he actually kind of wanted to see Nekoda's temper. She always seemed so sweet around him. Orlando shrugged his shoulders,"It looks exactly the same as it did before...?"

Ah, the beach house. Brought back memories! Aiden walked up to the front door in his casual white button-down and cargo shorts, but after reading the note, he made his way around the large house and over towards the dock. Hands in pockets, he walked over to see a few figures there. "Orlando, Koda," he grinned as he approached them. "Long time no see."

Nekoda smiled, rolling her eyes. He was showing off. But she was definitely NOT complaining! "Sports? What are you playing these days? Still quidditch I'm sure?" Tehe! She remembered when she and Savannah asked Orlando to teach them how to play. Total bust.

Hearing him comment on Aiden, Nekoda turned and smiled. "You know it. He's an idiot for giving up your sister. And I'm going to make sure he knows what a HUGE mistake he's making!" Hearing him, say the view looked the same Nekoda looked around again. "Maybe it's just because I've missed this place so much." Sure, her place was gorgoues. But it wasn't fun without Uncle Sean there. Pout.

Turning back, Nekoda crossed her arms, smirking at Orlando. "So, how are you Mr. Conrad? How's school?" Hopefully no girlfriend. Though of course, that wouldn't stop Koda from flirting!
And then, a familiar voice was speaking behind her. And the memories it brought back, of all the fun times Nekoda had spent with Aiden and Savannah when they were happily dating, came flooding back. And momentarily, she forgot how mad she was.

"Aiden!" Nekoda spun around, nearly tackling him with a hug. "Oh my gosh! It HAS been too long!" she pulled back, smiling widely and glancing back at Orlando. And that glance reminded her of their conversation, before she turned on Aiden once again.

Hitting his arm as hard as she could, Nekoda scowled. "You idiot!"

Orlando rolled his eyes hearing Nekoda speak, typical Nekoda. She was going to speak her mind and Orlando knew he wasn't going to be able to stop her. She was going to yell at Aiden and that was it. Hopefully she wouldn't scare the poor guy away, he liked Aiden, even if he dumped his sister. Aiden was still his friend though.

Orlando shrugged his shoulders, "I'm good, nothing really has changed much for me. I can't wait to go surfing soon." That's one thing he hated about Durmstrang, no beach in sight. Gah...it was awful. Luckily he had one back home."no girlfriend." He added, he knew that question was going through his brain.

Orlando waved at Aiden, he wasn't going to speak to him, not yet anyway. He knew whatever Nekoda had to say would be said first. So, she called him an idiot and then he decided it was time to say hey."Uh..hey..."He said, waving once again.

Aiden laughed as Nekoda nearly tackled him in a hug. Yep, this girl had not changed a bit it seemed. And he hadn't even talked to her much yet! "Oww," he said after she whacked him on the arm. "What was that for?" Abusive girl! He grinned over at Orlando. "Hey mate, you've got your hands full with this one." heheh. It was the truth, though. "How've you guys been?" Gahh, it was so nice to be back here.

Orlando bit his lip holding back laughter, this is why he loved being home. Sure, he liked being with his friends at school and all but chilling with his real friends on the yacht was defiantly much better. Orlando blushed a shade of red,"Uhm.. we aren't together."he said ,running his fingers through his hair. Nekoda wouldn't date him. There was no chance ! She was seventeen and he was fifteen. They just didn't go together ! He wished they were together though, that was for sure.

Orlando shrugged his shoulders as he heard Aiden speak again."I've been fine. I think the question is how are YOU ? Sav told me about all that drama."he said, shaking his head. The situation Aiden was in seemed to step out of one of those muggle television shows."Hopefully all the drama hasn't damaged your brain ?"he said, taking another drink of butterbeer.

Nekoda frowned at him, turning on Orlando as well, poking him in the chest. "Hey! Don't roll your eyes at me! Don't make me release the Russell wrath on you too!" Though of course she wouldn't, she couldn't stay mad at Orlando.

Nekoda raised an eyebrow, "Nothing's new? C'mon! Nothing! No new hot friends or anything?" she winked teasingly. Of course she wasn't actually interested. But she had to tease him anyways. "Ooo! Surfing? Wanna take your sister's best friend with you? Please!" she batted her eyes flirtaciously. And then he added no girlfriend, and Nekoda turned back to Aiden to hide her grin.

Nekoda frowned again, she'd say this once then leave Aiden alone about it. Until he did something to make the matters worse. "THAT was for being an idiot! Aiden, can you not see what your passing up! Savannah loves you! And I KNOW you love her! So why are you wasting your time with other girls?" she crossed her arms over her chest, tapping her foot expectantly. And the matter of her and Orlando? Well, that could be cleared up later.

Orlando's eyes grew as he saw Nekoda go off on Aiden. He wasn't sure if he should laugh or be scared, well, Aiden did kind of deserve it. Sav was heartbroken after that break up, he knew this for a fact. His sister rarely ever cried and she cried forever after that break up. He still like Aiden though.

"HEY !"Orlando said, feeling Nekoda poke him in the chest. He of course, poked her back lightly."Eh.. I could take the Russel wrath."He joked, looking down at her. He laughed again,"Aren't my friend and I a little to young for you, Koda ?"he asked, with a smirk. He nodded his head,"Sure. I will take you surfing later on tonight if you wish..wait do you even know HOW to surf ?"

"Aren't together, huh?" Aiden lifted an eyebrow. "Well, all the flirting suggested otherwise," he added with a smirk. Orlando had heard of all the drama, huh? Well, Aiden couldn't deny it. This past year had certainly had a lot of that. "Yeah, it was definitely pretty eventful. But now it's summer and there will be a lot less of that!" There better be.

Aiden merely smiled as Nekoda told him off. That was what best friends were for, he supposed. "Ah, right. Of course. That's why you've been mad at me." He glanced around then turned back to Koda and Orlando. "When will Savvy be coming, anyway?"

Eh... Orlando's face was now an even deeper shade of red. Couldn't people just forget about that topic ? Please ? He and Kody weren't together and they probably would never be knowing his luck. He said nothing, maybe Nekoda would answer that better. She was always good at making answers to those awkward questions. He nodded as Aiden spoke, "I hope so too. I hope there won't be any drama here but you can never tell when Xio is involved in the planning..."he said, a roll of his eyes. Hey, it was true.

Orlando broke out into laughter as he spoke of Savannah. "Savannah is in her room,. we locked her in there, she will find a way to get out eve..."And then just then he heard screaming and yelling.


"IM GOING TO KILL YOU YOU BRAT !!!"Savannah screamed, chasing after Xiomara. That brat had locked her in her room .UGH ! She hated Xiomara at sometimes. She chased Xio onto the boat and stopped dead in her tracks."Aiden ? What's he doing here ?"Savannah asked, one brow raised. She was panting for breath. Did Nekoda invite him over ? She doubted it, Nekoda was mad at him.

"I..invited...him..."Xio said, panting for breath. She had ran pretty fast. she waved at Aiden and slouched down in a chair.

Feeling Orlando poke her, Nekoda scowled at him, giving a snort as he said he could take the Russell wrath. "THAT is where your mistaken! Don't doubt me Orlando! I will take you down!" The thought was almost comical, as Nekoda was not nearly as tall as Orlando. Definitely not as strong. Smirking, she rolled her eyes. "Dear dear Orlando, age is but a number. You really think me of all people would be bothered by an age difference?"

Yey! He was gonna take her surfing! Nekoda could've hugged him but she stopped herself, remembering she was supposed to be displeased with Orlando at the moment. "Pfft! Of course I can surf!" Sort of. Okay, well not really. But how hard could it possibly be?

Nekoda nearly blushed, and that was a wonder within itself. Kodah NEVER blushed! "Hey! Don't try to distract from the main point!" And then he had the nerve to smile, SMILE as she yelled at him! Oooooh no! That angered Nekoda even more so. "Of course that's why I've been mad at you! What'd you think, I've harbored feelings and was mad you didn't call me as soon as you were single?" Pfft! Yeah, fat chance of that! Not that Aiden wasn't attractive, but that was beside the point.

Nekoda's expression turned slightly sad as she pouted, her anger cooling off. "What happened anyways A? I mean, you and Sav were so perfect!" And she then dejectedly plopped down on one of the deck chairs. She did NOT like seeing her best friend depressed. Shrugging, "I don't know. Soonish I guess." Ah man! And she and Orlando hadn't even BEGUN to discuss the party!

And speak of the devil, Savannah had arrived. Uh-oh. Can you say awkward?

"HEY SAV !"He said, looking at his sister who looked seriously confused."Er..I invited Aiden over for a bit."He said with a nod of his head, it was a legit reason. He jumped slightly as he heard Nekoda snap at him,"Jeez, Kody. I'm kidding."He said, backing off. SHE WAS SCARY ! He chuckled once again as he heard Nekoda speak,"If you say so, Kody."He said, placing his arm around her shoulder and smirking. Aha, he knew Xio was going to make a smart comment about it. He snorted as she spoke of surfing,"You also told me you know how to play quidditch..."

Savannah looked up at her best friend, roaring with laughter."Oh shut up. You don't know how to surf, Nekoda."she said. She knew this was a fact, neither of them could surf. Sav remembered them having a conversation on LEARNING to surf a few days ago. Pft..

UHHH !!! EWWWW."Please get your arm off of my best friend's shoulder, please."She said, looking up at Kody and Orlando. It was awkard watching them flirt.

"Oh, don't deny that you've secretly been in love with me this whole time. I don't blame you." A smirk tugged at his lips, though Nekoda would know he was teasing. Ehh. And then Koda proceeded to ask about Savannah and his break-up. Hadn't Sav told her about it? It had been a year ago, after all..

But Aiden was saved by the bell. Or, rather by the girl herself. Even though Orlando and Nekoda assured him that Savannah was locked in her room and she'd be out a little later, that was false. Now it was, anyway. He heard yells and screams, and he looked over his shoulder to see Savannah chasing Xiomara at full speed towards the boat. "Savvy, hey.." He stood up so he could look her way without having his back towards her and smiled.

EHHHH. She looked awful. Why did they have to do this ? Did Nekoda WANT to torture her ? Gee, she was a great best friend... Gosh, her hair wasn't even straight ! eck. Well, instead of showing how mad she was she just smiled and sat down next to Aiden."Uhm..hey.."She said, running her fingers through her hair. She bit her lip, wanting to flirt but knew that would be a bad decesion, Aiden wasn't ready for it.PFt...whatever."What brings you here ?"She said, looking at him. She then looked up at Nekoda, that look that screamed HELP was written on her face.

Xio crossed her arms, feeling left out."Uhm..you didn't even say hi to me !"she said, looking at Aiden a bit upset. Pout.

Nekoda glared slightly, but calmed down slightly, crossing her arms once again before looking around. Her mood lifted as Orlando put his arm around her. And she allowed herself to lean into him. "Hey! I know how to play Quidditch! I just hadn't done so before."

Nekoda frowned at Savannah, "Nooo, but I wanna learn." Jeez. Silly Sav, spoiling her flirting with Orlando. Hearing her groan Nekoda grinned evilly snuggling even closer to Orlando. "Oh? I'm sorry, does this bother you Sav?" Yes, Koda loved her best friend, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to mess with her.

Nekoda stuck her tongue out at Aiden. "Oh yes, I've hidden my feelings away for oh so long." Snort. Yeah right. Aiden was strictically friend.

Seeing Savannah's look of distress, Nekoda jumped right in. "Well, I actually have very important things to discuss with Sav and Xio for just a moment. Will you guys excuse us for like 5 minutes?" With Xiomara and Nekoda's help, that should be enough time to get Sav all dolled up.

"Your brother invited me, like he said," Aiden answered. Savannah looked a little nervous or something, and he glanced over at Orlando, then Koda, before turning back to Sav. "So.. you're not happy to see me, then?" He chuckled a bit and put his hands on his knees. Xiomara! He smiled and walked over to the girl. "Xio! I was only waiting to say hi to you because the best is for last, remember?" Heheh. He leaned down and kissed the girl on the cheek before walking over and leaning on the boat railing.

"Sure, take your time." Girls. He shook his head.

Orlando snorted once again,"You two ran off after the bludgers came out."He muttered, remembering that day. Wow, that had been well over a year ago. Haha, good times. It was funny though, watching the look of horror on the girls' faces as they saw the bludgers."Luckily for you surfing isn't that dangerous."He said, looking down at her as she snuggled closer. A proud grin grew on his face.

Savannah went over to the railing of the ship and pretended to vomit, "YES ! It's sickening to watch my best friend be all over my younger brother who is a bit too young for her."

Savanna nodded as he spoke, "Well, I hope you know that today is my birthday."She said, looking over at Aiden. If he didn't buy her a present, she was going to be mad. She deserved a present for the hell that he had put her through. Grumble."Of course I'm happy to see you Aiden."She said, looking at him."I'm always happy to see you if you aren't snapping at me..."she muttered and then watched as he kissed Xio on the cheek. Savannah could feel the jealousy already stirring. She glared at Aiden for a split second and turned away from him, ignoring him.

"Oh..well that makes sense."Xio said, a flip of her long blonde hair. Tehehe, a clone of her older sister. Savvy would disagree though. Xio's eyes grew as Aiden kissed her on the cheek. WOAH. Hot guy with abs just kissed her on the cheek, hot 17 year old with abs just kissed her on the cheek. Xio felt like she was going to die of like happiness. She leaned back against the chair, in her own little dream world.

Nekoda pouted, clearly upset. "Hey! Put yourself in our shoes! Bludgers are scary! They could've crushed us!" Or worse messed up their gorgeous faces. Where would that leave them all? The thought was too dreadful to imagine! And then he was saying surfing was dangerous, and her mood picked up. "You mean your still going to take me surfing with you?" Awh!

Damn. Noticing his grin, Nekoda actually blushed. Which made her want to blush even more so at the appalling act. A Russell was never supposed to blush! It was shameful! Turning to look at Savannah, she fought the red in her cheeks. "Pfft. Don't be so dramatic. Besides, Orlando isn't THAT much younger than me." Only 2 years...It wasn't completely scandolous. "Besides, you know if Orlando had a cute friend, you'd be all over him." Well, at least if she'd gotten over Aiden.

Smiling her thanks at Aiden, Nekoda pulled away from Orlando, looping her arms through Savannah and Xio's. "We'll be back in a flash!" And then she was dragging the love struck teen and her jealous older sister into Savannah's bedroom on the boat.

"Quick Sav! Find something cute! Not that you don't already look amazing!"
