Abby stared as he paused to think. REALLY? She was a good kisser and he knew it. Pretending to think about it was just mean. Pout. "Chace, I already know I'm a good kisser but I'm glad you agree with me."

"She's horrible. Simply horrible. She just criticizes me all the time.. I mean, shouldn't she be focusing on herself rather than find fault with others?" Abby sighed, letting her fingers run through her hair. Not that she ever let those criticisms bother her. She was used to people telling her what to do and she never did them but still. It was rather annoying to listen to her go on and on about she should be living her life when her life was so lame. What was her purpose in life? "Basically, not doing anything." Yeah, she never did any work around the house either. "She went to Hogwarts too but after that.. well, she's pretty much wasting her life. I hate her honestly." Abby hated a lot of people and Jane was definitely one of them.

Abby rolled her eyes. "Chace, you really don't have to protect me. I'm not a little girl. I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself." At least, she thought she was. For some reason, she never felt comfortable with guys protecting her. That only made her feel vulnerable and Abby didn't like that feeling. Not at all. And.. she had nothing to worry about. Abby kissed him for a little while before she finally pulled away. "I know I'm the best." Heh. He was lucky to be with her... Oh, yeah. She was lucky to be with too. Obviously.

Tay laughed and smiled, "Okay... I aint good at coming up with them but if you think of one, I will happily help you with it... though hopefully not one that gives a detention..." Taylor grimaced.

Ronnie smiled, a little relieved that Ella would listen. "Well I uh...just...I don't feel right around Justin. I just don't feel happy, ya know?" she began slowly with a sigh. She paused for a moment, biting her lip again, not sure if she should really go on. Maybe she should just keep it to herself...this was a bad idea..

NO. She was gonna tell Ella. She had already started anyways, she didn't wanna leave the poor girl curious. That just wasn't right, and besides, she really did need someone to talk to about it. She sighed and went on, "We dated earlier last year, and well...he just left me for Ariana without saying a word. It really hurt me and now he breaks up with her and wants me back?! I guess I just think he's cute. I don't really have any real feelings for him, I just like him as a friend. But I'm afraid about breaking up with him." she finished with a frown. UGH. Relationships were so difficult. They could become such a mess and hurt others so easily. It was crazy!



Logan smiled as Ella hugged him. He squeezed her back tightly, chuckling. "Did ya really think you were going to leave without me saying goodbye and giving you a hug?!" he asked with a grin. He would not let her get on the train without saying goodbye. He just wouldn't. No matter what. He would literally run after the train if he had to!

School was beginning again and all of the students on the platform were bustling with excitement at the anticipation of the upcoming train ride. All except one. Selina Skylar, who was now a sixth year, was not concentrated on the train ride or the upcoming school year or the fact that this would be her last train ride to school with her dearest friend and her boyfriend. No, Selina was concerned with one thing and one thing only- finding Mortimer.

While other students had spent their summers on vacation, hanging out with friends, or simply just sitting at home and relaxing, the redhead had spent almost the entirety of her summer holiday looking for her beater bat. Mortimer, who was for all intensive purposes her baby, had gone missing earlier in the summer during an outing in Diagon Alley and the captain had been panic stricken in search of him all holiday long. There was no Selina without her bat. He was a part of her and she felt sick without him near. No one else could love him like she did. Did anyone else know that he loved broom polish instead of bat polish? Did anyone else know that he liked to be tucked into his crib at 7 o'clock so he could be well rested for an early morning work out? Did anyone else know that he was a baby and needed ample attention? NO, THEY DIDN'T.

So ever since her beautiful, baby bat had gone missing, she had made it her mission to find him. That included interviewing people on their whereabouts on the day that he went missing because a part of her believed he was bat napped. Mortimer was a particularly attractive looking bat... anyone would have been lucky enough to have him, which meant that perhaps someone stole him. Alas, she had gotten no where in her interviews. People just looked at her like she was crazy. WHICH SHE WASN'T maybe a little.

That was why she, unlike the rest of the students on the platform, was not chatting with her friends or putting away her luggage. Instead, she was walking around the platform with a huge stack of posters piled up to her nose that had asked for information on her missing bat. And she fully intended on handing them out to every student and adult on this platform. She could not leave any stone unturned. MORTIMER NEEDED HER!

Pulling a flyer off of the top of the stack, she walked over to a random student (Chace) and handed him a flyer, "Have you seen this bat?" She asked.



Besides, Kurumi said that she going to help Selina hand out flyers for Mortimer, so she could start until her friend arrived to help.

Chace laughed. "I know you know. I was just teasing, which in case you noticed is something I like to do every now and then."

"It probably makes her feel better about herself," Chace said with furrowed brows. "I mean clearly she has nothing positive to attribute to herself, so there's really no way for her to lift herself up other than to put people who are actually living their lives down." Chace knew what that was like. Although the situation was a little different with his family. Instead of having someone do nothing, Chace's family usually struggled to do everything they could do to please someone that would never think it was enough. Most called them overachievers but when you had people like mothers and fathers that always expected one step higher than your best, it made one inclined to overwork and never feel satisfied. It was a different kind of gross feeling, and Chace had been fighting for most of his life to get rid of it.

"I know you're not a little girl Abby, and you're very strong. It's not a reflection of you, it's more me and my feeling of obligation. But if it really bugs you that much I won't do anything along those kinds of lines without talking to you first," Chace said with a small smile. As pulled back from her lips he couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly. "Oh Abby. I thought I was a confident person, but I don't know. You may have me beat," Chace said with a chuckle. "But it's one of the things I love about you though."

Chace was about to say something else when a girl with flaming red hair approached him, practically shoving it at him. Uh. Calm down. Chace took the flyer from her and looked down at it. Was this a flyer for a...beater's bat? Chace suppressed the desire to shoot her an "Oh, come on" look. He wasn't sure that he had succeeded very well, but hey, at least he'd tried. And then he saw that she had named it. "You named your beater bat?" Chace asked, his face rather flat as he said so. He was reserving his judgmental thoughts for himself. Chace let out a little sigh. "No, I haven't seen your bat but if I do I'll be sure to let you know...Selina," Chace said, scanning his eyes to the bottom to find her name. He gave her a warm smile that slightly surprised himself before passing the flyer to Abby. "Have you seen it?"

Ella listened carefully to Ronnie, her frown coming and going. So Ronnie wasn't happy dating Justin? That was kind of clear by the way she had been acting when Ella walked over. "Ronnie, you're supposed to be happy around the person you date." She said quietly, knowing she wasn't telling the girl anything she didn't already know. It was more confirming it, just in case that helped.

The badger nodded, remembering the situation between Ronnie and Justin before. It hadn't been a good one. She remember how sad Ronnie had been and it made Ella really disappointed in Justin for a while. "Ronnie? I think if you don't really like him...like that then maybe you should tell him. I mean...it might be better for both of you." That way no one would get their feelings hurt down the line, yeah? "He isn't really acting like much of a boyfriend right now anyway...right?" So maybe Justin wasn't really into it either? Ella wasn't sure. "Is that helpful at all?" She asked, frowning. She hoped it was.

...

Ella shrugged, a wide smile still on her face. "I guess I didn't really know if you would come or not...but I'm really glad you did." It was always nice seeing Logan. "So um...you'll be living at Ameliah's then? That's where I can send owls?" Cause Ella planned on owling Logan lots, as long as he didn't mind. "What will you do over the term, anyway? Are you going to go to school somewhere else?" She wanted to know why he couldn't just come back to Hogwarts but she didn't want to pry.

Maybe she should have put her badge on...but Kurumi also hated the look of OHMYGOSHITSAPREFECT she received whenever she wore it. As a seventh year now, she really should be over this since she had worn the badge since she was a fourth year...but some things one just never got used to.

Setting the cage right side up again and stepping back, Kurumi eyed the feline and couldn't help but offer the frustrated looking girl and her even more frustrated looking cat a small smile. "Neither does mine," she laughed. "But he changed his mind once he got his tail run over by a trolley." And nearly trampled by some overly eager students to get onto the train.

But then the cat was gone and Kurumi's kendo reflexes kicked into high gear as she moved towards the feline...that was now attempting to eat another student's pet.

Merlin...it really was starting already.
Kurumi nodded her head at what the younger boy was saying. He wasn't wrong, not at all, and very much along the same lines of thinking she had had as a younger student. "Confined spaces and loud noises are always stressful for creatures," she replied, still nodding her head. "But letting them out increases their natural fight or flight instincts." Like the cat that had just nipped at the other girl. "Best thing would be to get them on to the train where things are a bit calmer and quieter."

Obviously too late for that now...so they needed to get them all back in their carriers before too much insanity happened. Please?
o_______________O

AND NOW ANOTHER ONE WAS LOOSE?! Maybe Kurumi should have brought Walnut with her...he could use his kitty senses to somehow corral these felines into one place and then they could all get them back in their carriers. Of course, being seventeen now, Kurumi could also use magic outside of school...but she hated - absolutely HATED - using magic on creatures when it wasn't totally necessary.

She had only done so once with Walnut...and that had been because Eino wanted to teach him how to fly by DROPPING him out of the Owlery window in her second year. Thank Merlin she had quick reflexes thanks to kendo training or else Walnut would have been flat as a pancake in the courtyard at Hogwarts.

"Do any of you have any treats with you?" she asked, already rummaging through her pockets for some of thetuna fish cookies she baked for Walnut and almost always had on her in case of an emergency. LIKE RIGHT NOW! Finding the small bag in her pocket, she removed them and quickly offered one to each of the first years.

Introductions would have to come later.

"Try to lure your cats back with these. I don't want them to get hurt while they run around scared..."
Eyes darting around to try and see how they could make the platform smaller for this task, Kurumi spotted Selina...putting up posters? Really?

Kurumi was about to make some sort of pathetic sarcastic comment - because sarcasm still wasn't her forte - when she noticed just what the posters were for. Oh Merlin...Selina was going to be IMPOSSIBLE to deal with without Mortimer. Somewhat gawking at Selina for a moment, Kurumi called to her best friend while waving some of the tuna fish cookies around in her hand to get the redhead's attention. "Selina!"

"No.. uh.. of course." Abby said, sheepishly. "I thought for a moment that maybe you didn't think I was a good.. kisser." She blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Yeah, well. I just hope I don't turn out to be anything like her. To just waste her life by not doing anything.. I mean, how could anyone be so pathetic?" And, her parents were even more lame for making her stay with these people when she had other relatives in England. Anyway, on the positive side, she would be staying with them just for one more summer and then, she'd be back home. With her family and friends. And.. she kind of started to wonder how things between her and Chace would be by then. Would they still be together? Who knew.. but she kind of hoped they would though. Maybe Chace would be her first ever serious relationship..

Huh. He seemed to be taking this whole 'protective boyfriend' thing way too seriously. If it really meant that much to him.. "Fine. It's okay.. You can watch out for me. But just talk to me before you do anything though, alright?" She played with the zip of his hoodie when he said that he loved her confidence. "What else do you love about me?" She asked, biting her lip.

And.. out of nowhere, a girl shoved a flyer at Chace's face, asking him if he'd seen her bat. Wait, a bat? A named beater bat? Abby raised an eyebrow. Wow, she had no idea people actually named their bats. How weird. "Uh. No." Abby answered shortly before handing it back to the girl. "But, I'll let you know if I see it." Abby gave the girl a faint smile.

Great. It was time to get back to school.

The lioness made her way to the platform with lots of her belongings, all well packed in one trolley. Originally her parents were going to take her to the station since they said that it was too heavy for her carrying those luggage but mostly they just missed her so much and they were worried about her. But she has already grown up and she didn't need them to go with her anymore, not like they always did in the past three years. She was a fourth year student now. Besides they got their work to do right? So she had decided to go there on her own.

Tiffany dragged her bags to the nearest bench and sat down. Phew. Now she kinda regretted of refusing the idea of her mum and dad carrying them for her. Her hands went all red after carrying them through a long way from her home to the station. Since it was still early for the train to arrive, she leaned her back to the wall and took a box of chocolate out from her backpack. Merlin, she just couldn't be separated from sweets, not even one second. As she threw one into her mouth, she looked around and noticed that actually there was someone else sitting next to her. And not only one, but two. A girl and a man? or a boy? The lioness couldn't see his face clearly since he was sticking his head to the newspaper so she greeted the girl first. She was so pretty and she was a new student right? "Oh haiii,"she said in a cheerful tone. "I'm Tiffany, nice to meet chu." She finished, ready for a handshake.

Ronnie listened as Ella spoke, thinking. Ella was right about everything, Ronnie SHOULD tell Justin. And Justin really wasn't acting like much of a boyfriend. That was true. She smiled a little. "That actually is veery helpful, Ella, thank you." she said, pulling her friend into a hug. Now to go find Justin...oh boy, this was gonna be a fun day. Hopefully he wouldn't take it too hard.

"Well, I'm gonna go find Justin and talk to him then." she finally said. Might as well get it over and done with, right? She gave Ella one last hug. "Thanks, Deathbird." she said as she pulled away. She then turned and went off to find Justin, feeling her heart beat begin to quicken and her tummy suddenly felt all terrible with all the nervousness that was suddenly building up. Oh great. This was gonna be harder than she really thought...


Logan chuckled. "Yeah, I guess that's where I'll be living now on." he said with a nod. It was a nice house, he really liked exploring around it. Heck, he had tons of that left to do, so that'd keep him busy while everyone was at Hogwarts!

"I'm catching up on stuff I missed last year." Logan said with a little frown. THAT was going to be...'fun'... "I have tons of books and things to help me catch up on everything, so I'll be doing that and I'll probably still be doing lots of work the next term, but I'm pretty positive I'll be there for my fifth year." he said with a grin. He sure was excited about that! Then, he could hang out with Ella almost all the time!!! And play guitar at the lake again!

She smiled at Brooklyn and introduced herself, "Hello I'm Ariella!"

After a few minutes and meaningless chit chat and few warnings to the cats, chaos started. Felix pounced at Archer and the cage toppled over, releasing the owl out of its bars...

"Oh Archer! Get back over here!" Ari was shocked at what had happened but was even more shocked when Felix once again pounced at her bird along with Leo and Brooklyn's cat.



Archer then screeched loudly and flapped his wings with fright. The silly owl rose off the ground and flew up into the sky before landing on the steam pipe of the train, "Archer! You silly bird come back! Get down from there!"

Emilia stood nervously nextt to her dad. She was excited and yet she did not want to go. Her eyes welled with tears. She stood her trunk upright and made sure that her kitten, Mittens was ok. Then she turned to her Dad and wrapped her arms around his middle."and cried. Dallas, who was tearing himself, tried very hard not to show it. He slowly disentangled her arms from his middle and knelt and took his little girl into his arms. I love you Emeilia. I will miss you so much." Emeilia melted into his arms. "I'm going to miss you too daddy. And mummy and Lexie and Jesse." She sniffed.

It had been helpful? This made Ella smile, glad she could say something that was useful. "No problem, honest." She said sincerely, returning the squeeze.

The blonde nodded when Ronnie told her she was going to go talk to Justin. "Yeah, that's probably a good idea. You'll be fine, yeah? Just be honest." That was always the best way to go as far as Ella was concerned. She smiled when Ronnie hugged her again, laughing softly at the nickname. "Any time, Medusa."

Ella smiled at Logan, happy he was away from his aunt for good. "Well that's a really awesome house and Ameliah's family seems nice. I think you'll really like it there." At least she hoped he did. Anything was better than being locked in a room all the time though, right?

Oh...so he'd be trying to catch up? That was A LOT of work. She noticed the frown and gave him a reassuring smile. "Hey, you'll get it done. You'll be great." Ella said sincerely, nudging him in the arm. "Besides, if you need help just owl, okay?" Ella was pretty okay with school stuff and she wouldn't mind helping at all. She'd actually enjoy it. Her green eyes went a bit wide when he spoke next, eyebrows raised. Had he just really said?..."You might be coming back?...REALLY?" BEAM. BEAM. BEAM. "Logan! That's SO exciting." She said, bouncing up and down a bit. "I hope you're being serious."

Alexa snickered a bit when she heard of the reason for the girls cat changing his mind about going around without his cage. For a moment she tried to imagine Felix's response if that were to ever happen to him. One thing was certain...it wouldn't have gone well for the person who ran over his tail.

Her eyes popped when she saw the cats all making after the poor, dfnseless bird and she was just more than slightly annoyed by the fact that Felix wasn't listening to her!

She looked around at the girl again when she started talking to Dylan about the fight or flight reflex that animals had. In her opinion Felix only possessed the fight one; she had never seen him run from danger; it was quite the contrary when it came to that feline and that's what she loved about him. Now if only he listened to her more often when she talked then she would have loved him even more.

Lex began to giggle when the girl asked whether or not they had any treats. "I hate to break it to you but he's smarter than that! He won't accept a treat when there's a whole bird just a few feet away." She should know; he was hers afterall and she had had him for quite a bit 5 months of time. In that time he sure very much determination and it was probably his personality that prevented her from getting rid of him. She just loved him! She started laughing when the girl began scrambling for the treats.

Felix didn't waste his time on this newer girl that was offering him treats. He wasn't a fan of cat food anyway and right now he had his sights set on much bigger prey. Tough luck girly, offer me a steak and we'll talk. He pounced but missed as he watched the bird flying further away.



When he saw the bird fly to the top of the train he wasted no time in bolting up the train himself. He would have this bird and it would be delicious.

"Oh no!" Lex nearly shouted as she watched Archer fly to the top of the train followed by Felix. She wouldn't forgive herself if Felix hurt Archer. "Felix get back here!" She shouted, running over to the train. She found a nice foot hole and began making her way up after the very determined feline.

Ari shook her head with worry as she eyed her bird on top of the train. Alexa was right, the only treat these cats were interested in was her bird. She gasped loudly as Felix followed Archer up onto the tippy top of the train.

Merlins Pants! If anything could anymore surprising, Alexa decided to follow them...

"Archer! If you don't get down here your going to become cat food!" Ari shouted then dashed after Alexa and followed her up the train muttering under her breath as she grabbed hold of the train and hoisted herself up, "Stupid Owl!"

So Elliot was beginning to tire of all these pets. She saw about a millionbajillion cats running around...and owls hooting...the noise was starting to get to her. Like a lot.

She was trying to avoid her aunt, who seemed to have met an old friend and would hopefully be occupied for awhile...

The blonde tucked her hair behind her ears and twirled her earring around a little in her ear, an anxious habit she had recently picked up. Suddenly a CAAAT ran past her, nearly brushing her with it's tail. That was fine...okay, maybe it irked Elliot a LITTLE. But then it's apparent owner ran after him...

Merlin, she was small. Had to be an ickle firstie.

And then...she watched as the girl ran...and began climbing the train. Elliot wasn't a caring person. She wasn't nurturing, and she sure wasn't one to look out for others. But as she saw the girl..she was reminded remarkably of another eleven year old...

Dani.

Elliot found herself running to the train, where the girl was...climbing.

"OOOOYYY! GET DOWN FROM THERE! YOU'RE GOING TO HURT!" She wanted to add, ARE YOU STUPID??? But decided against it. It might make the little girl mad at her.

Elliot's blue eyes widened...Merlin first years were so RECKLESS.

Dylan listened as the older student was talking to Alexa about cats not wanting to stay in their cages and it seemed that way since Felix wanted out and Leo was stressing to get out. He nodded as she agreed with him "Yeah that is true" he said looking at her not noticing Leo was going the same way as Felix "I will try that now.. Leo?" he said looking round for his cat. "Yeah I have treats" he said rushing to his bag and taking out a box of treats to get the cats back. Dylan nodded and went after the cats with the treats, and the cats had actually started to chase poor Archer

Now even Ariella was trying to get him back and away from the three pouncing cats, he was then surprised to see Archer on the steam pipe of the train. Well at least the cats cant get up there right? that way he is safe but the question was how to get the owl down. Only way he could see was to climb up there and get him down from there before he got hurt.

But before he knew the cats WERE up the train, and soon so was Alexa who was trying to get Felix.. well he wanted Leo back too. So he decided that he was not going to stand around trying to get him down with treats, throwing the box to the ground he started his climb to the top of the train to get his cat back while Alexa went to get Felix "Leo get over here!! now!! Dont want you getting hurt!" he said to Leo

Let me get this bird first he meowed at Archer

He then heard others telling them to get down but he was not about to get down without Leo, and he knew that Alexa would not return without Felix. So let them finish their mission and they will be down soon!

Harvey was talking to his friends when he heard a commotion nearby and as he looked over he could see that several students one of whom he recognised as Kurumi were looking up at the train engine, he looked up and was horrified to see Alexa up there on the top. He rushed over there as fast as he could as others were yelling at them to get down as well "Oi Alexa! Get down from there!! Now!!" he yelled up to her.. he hoped this was not the type of danger she was talking about "Come on you could get hurt!" he hoped they would listen to them and get down.

Once on top of the train Ari noticed that all three of them were up there, "Ah DJ! Alexa! Fancy meeting you up here eh? Now where did those dumb animals go?"

Ari looked down and noticed that they had seem to caught the attention of several other students. Well of course they did, it's not every year a bunch of first year climb up ontop of the train, or at lease Ari thought so, it didn't seem like a normal thing to do...

"It's alright! We're being carful! Just need to save a bunch of stupid animals!"

She wasn't quite sure who she has shouting to but it was a weak attemp to calm them all down, but now that she thought about it she was probably drawing more attention to themselves...

"She does have a very nice family, I like them. Hazel is really cute." he said laughing. She was very cute, hopefully she'd show him the secret candy stash sometime that Ronnie had told him about! Mmmm, he could almost taste those jellybeans!

Logan smiled at Ella's words. "Thanks, Ella. That means a lot." he said, his smile getting wider as she went on. "Okay, I surely will if I need any help! Thanks!" he said, giving her another hug. Ella was such a great friend! It just felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders! He wasn't so scared about all that work now! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

"Yes! I'm actually 100% positive I will be there!" he said with a grin, laughing at her excitement.

I hate to break it to you? Merlin...Kurumi never imagined herself starting off a sentence like that to an older student when she was a first year. Then again, Kurumi had mostly stuttered and stumbled over her words then - along with turning the color of a ripe peach - so she was sort of a different case. "It was simply a suggestion," she said with a raised eyebrow. "Walnut is too lazy to go after anything that moves quickly or too far away. Obviously your cat is different." So this one could cut with the attitude before ALL of these creatures got hurt and Kurumi cried over it. Okay?!

Not to mention the laughing was not helping. And WHERE was Professor Williamson when you needed him!! Oh, yeah, that's right...HE LEFT HER AND WENT TO ROMANIA!

Attention back on the boy now, fudgesicle she should have done introductions so she wasn't just saying 'you' all the time, Kurumi simply nodded when he began to try and coax his cat back to him. Good, she liked this one. He was being proactive instead of just standing their snickering like a hyena.

Owl on top of the train...cats following said owl...and then grumpy Ravenclaw from Transfiguration was shouting something....

Hold on a sec...when had she gotten her-----

"NO CLIMBING THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS!.....please" Kurumi said as she flailed her arms a bit. Oh Merlin....oooooooooooooooh Merlin...

And then there were students coming from ALL OVER THE PLACE and causing a scene. THE CREATURES WERE GOING TO FREAK OUT AT THIS RATE. Ignoring the girl on top of the train for now, Kurumi spun around to look at the small crowd. "Okay, everyone...PLEASE...no more shouting. The creatures are getting freaked out by this and it's not helping. We need to get these guys." and some pointing towards the cats, "...back in their carriers before we can hope to get the owl to come back." And, well, as long as she was up there....

"Alexa!" That was her name, right? Harvey had just shouted it. "Grab your cat and climb back down... carefully!" She would discuss climbing the Hogwarts Express later with her...and a professor perhaps. "Don't try to get near the owl. If he wants to fly a little higher, let him." The owl needed to feel safe or else there was no ending this at all.

And THEN the younger girl who the owl belong to INSULTED the creatures. Well, no wonder it had flown away from her. "Apologize!" Kurumi said, her voice slightly panicked at the moment due to creatures and students being EVERYWHERE! "Creatures have feelings too and if insulted they are not going to cooperate."

All this and the term hadn't even started yet...Merlin help her....

Of course Sainr Kurumi showed up. No surprises there...*snort*

Elliot watched the older girl bark out orders as if they were second nature. What authority she had. She neither liked nor disliked Kurumi, hardline knowing the lion, so Elliot withheld judgement, But the girl DID seem to know what she was talking about a lot of times.

Elliot watched, her eyes widened, as the three little kids were just ON TOP OF THE TRAIN CHILLING. Pretty much that's what it looked like! "Can't you just summon the pets down?!" she asked Kurumi, eyeing her...wand arm. she was of age, no? She was a seventh year, right? BEcause Elliot's heart was beating very fast...VERY FAST. She could only imagine Dani doing something like this...and it kind of scared her.

Heartless Elliot may have had a heart after all.

That is, until they got on the ground. Then Elliot would sooo light into them. Because they were all IDIOTS.

Lex hadn't climbed a train before...then again not many kids had climbed a train before but she was pretty determined to save that bird! It was her fault they were even climbing this thing. Her father had told her to put Felix in his cage while they were in the car but she wouldn't listen and now she had to be climbing some train, hoping to help.

"Listen here Felix! You leave that bird alone or you'll be very sorry you naughty thing you!" She scolded in frustration as she climbed higher and higher. She smiled abit when she realized that her friends were climbing it with her. Alright, it would be more fun now.

She stopped suddenly and looked down when she heard a girl yelling at her to get down and telling her she could hurt herself. She shrugged it off and kept climbing but then she heard another voice; this one was familiar, telling her to get down. She sighed then looked down again. This was getting annoying.

"Will you guys quit worrying already! I think I know how to climb a train and it's perfectly fine!" She kept hauling herself up until she was at the top where Ari was smiling. She laughed when Ari shouted down at them to stop worrying--that was exactly what she was saying. "Yeah! Relax! We'll be down once we've saved Archer!"

She then turned her attention to Felix who was crouched low and looking at the bird. Boy, this little guy just did not quit!!!

She looked down again when she heard that older girl shouting. She saw her flailing about...seriously...that was how she handled situations like this?? Unbelievable, and here she thought that age came with wisdom. She listened to her begging for no shouting but really...Felix wasn't afraid of shouting so it should have been fine...right? Then she heard her tell her to grab her cat and get down.

-______________________-

Because she so wasn't trying to do that at the moment right? She snickered a bit when the girl told Ari to apologize...she wanted her to apologize to an owl...okay then...this girl was a strange one for sure!

"Look we're trying our best okay?" She shouted down to her, but then she remembered, "Oh, sorry for shouting!" Dang it she had done it again...she would just stop completely...

Soon Ariella too had joined them in this mission to get these animals down from here so here they were three first years ontop of the train to get their pets down with everyone telling them to get down. Now that older student-girl was telling Alexa to get her cat and get down carefully, well they were pretty much trying that except the pets were not cooperating very well. He edged towards Leo whose eyes were still on Archer he was desperate to get Archer that he didnt see Dylan behind him. He then heard someone call them stupid animals he tried to quickly look round to see who it was and in the process nearly lost his balance "Woah!!" he said as he just about managed to get his balance back and crawl towards Leo who had moved away from him having heard Dylan losing his balance. Dylan heard Alexa talk but he wasnt really listening cause he was trying to get Leo before he grabbed Archer, he knew it was something about not worrying and they would be down after they got all the animals. Dylan quietly as quietly as he could crept up behind Leo and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and sat down on the train, legs dangling down the side "Alexa! I got Leo.. you just get Felix now.. and then Ariella can get Archer" he called out to Alexa as he looked round to see where she was.

Apologize? Apologize?! To what the cats and the owl?

"Oh yes I'm extremley sorry for...well I'm not quite sure what I'm sorry about because quite frankly, your the reason I'm on top of the Hogwarts Express!" Ari seemed to be talking alound to no one in particular, "Won't my dad be over joyed when he hears about this!"

She noticed that DJ had managed to grab Leo, now all that was left was Felix and Archer. The silly bird was still screeching and flapping it's wings, trying to look intimidating but it wan't really working. Actually it would have looked quite funny if the situation had been different.

"Alexa! If you can manage to grab Felix, I think I'll be able to calm Archer down and grab him!" She said, talking over the frantic and flailing students from down below...

Boy were they going to be in trouble...
