"Memory foam readied," Kellen declared with mock seriousness. "Don't use a book, Chaucer, it's a knock to your manliness."



Kellen naturally assumed the groan was because she didn't have an earplug to throw, and held one out for her, "Here you go!"

"And so it begins. Gentlemen!" Chaucer raised two ear plugs, one in each hand, and held himself as a master of ceremony. A proud grin spread taut over his face as he continued, "Ready your memory foam!"
With that, he gave a quick toss at both Kellen and the other boy before quickly readying his book as a shield.

He dearly hoped no one got travel sickness.

Hesitantly Allison gave the girl a smile and listened when she mentioned it was the first compartment without sixth years. Looking over at Arya Allison shrugged, she really had no problem with meeting new people.



Seeing as Arya accepted the girl Allison gave the new girl a peace sign and showcased the compartment, "You may sit wherever you'd like." Looking at the girl with a gleam in her eye, Allison narrowed her eyes, "You look to be around our age...are you also a first year?"

After a long scrutinizing stare Allison noticed she hadn't even introduced herself, "I'm sorry the name is Allison." At this point, she refused to say her last name. She was sure that once she got to Hogwarts there would be no need to mention her last name, her mother said everyone knew each other at Hogwarts. Whether one liked it or not.

Shana walked into a empty compartment. She dumped her bags down and threw her jacket onto the seat oppisit. She sat down near to the window and put her feet on the chair oppisit shifting her jacket over so she didn't get mud or anything else on it cause Tammy had been so nice to buy it her. She looked out the window before writing "I hate Nikki Finn. Shes a Blake stealer." On the window and smirking to herself. She petted Charlie on her lap, how she was going to miss being back at the apartment with Tammy oh and Torin too.

Chaucer, upon hearing this, threw his book aside with great bravado and ran a quick hand through his hair. "How true! It is rare when you are forced to remind of etiquette, but there you have it. Nothing but my immaculately-gloved hands shall interfere!"
Images of glamorous musketeers and swordsmen came to mind, however inappropriate it may have been for the situation. In Chaucer's mind, the events slowly unfolding in the car were just as worthy of telling as any greater conflict before them. Imagination and self-delusion were powerful tools.

Damien scowled as Stern dodged his shot, but just had to grin as Kate managed a clean one to his forehead. "Nice one!" he said, smiling in Kates direction before he picked up the offered object Chaucer presented him with. He quickly returned fire at Kellen, this time taking carefull aim as the boy offered an earplug to Emilia.

The earplug bounced off of Kellen's chin and he turned to Damien with an indignant, "Hey!"

From playing with Chaucer all his life, Kellen was well accustomed to waiting for his cousin's long-winded speeches to end before beginning. Apparently not everyone worked the same way. He readied two earplugs at the same time and flicked them both at Damien, "Take that, you false starter!"

Run..run..run...annnnnnd..STOP. There she was, his little shan-shan. Pushing the door open to the compartment, Blake hopped inside and dropped down on her lap. Yep, he and Lucas were playing role reversal last night and he had to play it with Shana too. Wrapping his arms around her neck, Blake chuckled lightly, "Shaney baby! I miiiissed you & I haaaaate youuuuu." He whined, trying hard to sound like her. His eyes bounced from her face to the window and a small smile emerged on his lips, "And a pointer, I hate Nikki Finn. You're not dating her." He ruffled her hair and rested his head on her shoulder. Eeek, he needs to get over that funny but stupid game.

He picked them up, throwing one back at Kellen, but decided to throw the other at Chaucer. It landed right in his hair. Damien had to admit, it was funny watching someone pick earplugs out of their hair. This was deffinetly the best way to start off the year!

Suddenly he was hit in the eye! Now where had that come from? He looked around and saw Emilia with her hands to her mouth. That wasn't very nice.. but it seemed to have been an accident. For now. Best keep an eye on that one, he thought, picking up another earplug to hurl into the mass of people.

Bella walked into the middle part of the train, her tears running more freely down her face. She didnt know what came over her, she had never cryed like this before, but at that moment she remembered a memory of her parents she didnt want to. A happy memory. Bella looked left and right for someone, someone she knew who could help. She carried Trixie in her right hand, while she pulled her luggage with ehr left. She knew she had been rude to Emily back there, but she couldnt help it.

She even hated piggy backs but that was cause she didnt like heights. Yeah her going on a plane to Antartica and then to Brazil wasn't fun not to meantion France and Italy. She regretted going to Italy, well no she didn't, if she hadn't gone Nikki and Blake would've been dating. Speaking of Blake here he was sitting on her OW. "Blaaaake. Your squishing meee. Gerroff!" she said, pushing him to the side of her, luckily Charlie had got away from Blake's buttox squishing him. "Blake. Stoppit, I dont know what your doing but I don't like it please stop. Why do you hate me ? I havn't done anything. And I don't wanna date Nikki Im a girl and I hate her." Yeah she had no idea he was playing her.

Her dark brown hair had miraculously regrown its large curls of which she was so known for since her trip to the all-boys camp, and she knew Blake would like this fact.... but he seemed plenty busy enough. Her face saddened a bit at this, but she had already continued walking so Blake couldn't see her. She finally found an empty compartment as usual and sat down near the window, looking out the window, knowing quite well what was going through her head and hating herself even more for it.

Chaucer gave his signature high trill of laughter when he saw Emilia's throw. "If it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye, then why is it still so entertaining?" The following pelt of a plug made him squeak in surprise as he attempted an unsuccessful dodge. His hair was a bloody magnet; perhaps he should have tied it back after all.

A quick grab of whatever stray plugs he found around him and he began to toss with wild abadon once more.

Anastasia browsed through the compartments, kitten and books in hand, of course. She was looking for her friends.. Wait, was that Arya's and Allison's voices? She peeked in the compartment, and was delighted to see her new friends. In the back of her mind, she wondered where Jacob was.. he was going to sit with them, wasn't he?

She smiled, entering. "Hello, everyone!" She plopped herself down in the middle between Arya and Allison. She let Tegan out of her basket, and watched as she stretched happily and made her way towards Perseus.


She was going to Hogwarts! She couldn't believe it. How much fun would this be??
