i wanted to do hearts!

so about today ~

today i helped out at my schools art show :)

guess who got to come with me...!

Nicko! <33

im glad i got to see him :)

we sat at the face-painting table, cuz thats what we were gonna help wth

but no one came up to us :(

so he painted my nickname on arm ^_^

i drew one of the swirls with my left hand but he did everything else :)

which was amazing ^_^ and my two favorite colors!!

we saw the orchestra play a couple of songs

and one where they do some percusson with thier hands...

i didnt really get it but it was cool i guess haha

after Nick left i was there a little longer until almost everyone left,
but my mom hadan appointment and my friend Becca didn't havee a rde home
and we both live far but in opposite directions @_@
so  went to her house and we had my friend Domingo drive us ^_^
the car was pact with the three other people though @_@
and the radio was kinda busted ....-_-'
but it was cool ^_^
this was my frst time ever meeting her in person but we talked over Facebook and on the phone through text so we knew eachother but had never met, so it was our first time seeing eachother
and we were shocked!!!
wanna know why??
because i am 4 foot 10 and she is like 90 foot 7!!!
just kidding...she's like 6 feet tall though and she's taller than my Nicko!
so it was like a baby looking at a giant when we met XD
i was at her house for a while and met her friends that live by her
we hung out with her friend Trisha the most


and we went to a park which was covered in mud while we were waiting for my mom >.<
we got ice cream from UDF and heated it in a microwave [????]
idk it was Becca's idea lol

here's the flower closer up ^_^

like it? it died now though:(it withered away :(

she stole it out of Trisha's yard XD she was like "wtf?!" XD

i was in a rush to go home so i call him >.<

well for him to call me lol >.<

i was supposed to leave at 6...mami was late by an hour!! @_@

i hate lateness...omg...like seriously hate it >.<

it freaks me out!

now i'm on the phone with  him

and he keep using the "cute little nicko" voice

and its making me want to like...

hide him in a broom closet and corrupt him XD
how naughty of me 0_0... >_>'

anywayz....

we're gonna go webcam now ^_^ hehee

Songs Left Unexplained #7: Sigillum Diaboli

a great finish to CD Razorblade Romance by my favorite Finnish 5,

Burton, Gas, Mige, Linde and Ville...better known as HIM

this song Sigillum Diaboli is one of me and Nick's favorites, its a hard song

and it sounds amazing, the way Ville sings it is just so...ahhh *daydreams*

........anyway

i never thought about the lyrics until now, and i was reading them again

it kind of helped me understand what Nick has been trying to tell me

but of course i am delusional...

so here is another song meaning from me, and revelations i had :)

Nick, i love you <3

I can see your sad face and your pitiful lies
Don't have the strength to carry your heavy load of life
I'm your Christ and I want you
This worlds not for hearts and you know it as well as I do

oh

I can see through your eyes, spill your tears for me
I'll lift the burden from your shoulders, you just have to believe
I'm your Christ and I want you
This world's not for hearts and you know it as well as I do

Oh as well as I do
Oh as well as I do
Just as well as I do
Oh as well as I do
Oh as well as I do

Oh, so
I'm your Christ to die on you
I just woke up hears and you know it as well as I do
I'm your Christ to die on you
This worlds not for hearts and you know it as well as I do

Oh, so you've come from above
and you say you want it all
and I kill myself for your love
I'm killing myself for you, 'cause yes you want love

I can see your sad face, your pitiful lies
Don't have the strength to carry your heavy load of life
I'm your Christ and I want you
This worlds not for hearts and you know it as well as I do
I'm your Christ to die on you
This worlds not for hearts and you know it as well as I do

Oh, yes you do
Oh, yes you do, my Darling
Oh, yes you do..oh
Oh, yes you do, oh my Love
so....

now for this..

I can see your sad face and your pitiful lies
Don't have the strength to carry your heavy load of life
this reminds me of what nick tells me all the time. that im lying to myself and that im better than alot of people and dont notice, and he's right i do have talent but i as he says "sell myself short" because i dont see it as well myself. then with bad stuff happening me and little things getting to me, its hard for me to carry on with life
I'm your Christ and I want you
This worlds not for hearts and you know it as well as I do
he has saved me from alot and helped me through so much and then when things get to the best, something tries to break us apart and we both see it. but i wont let anything tear us apart

I can see through your eyes, spill your tears for me
I'll lift the burden from your shoulders, you just have to believe
back to what i said before...he wants me to see myself the way he sees me. and no matter how much i cry he's still going to tell me the same thing, that im the beautiful and amazing but that i think it. and then when i do, i wont take all the little things so hard and i'll be happier
I'm your Christ and I want you
This world's not for hearts and you know it as well as I do

Oh as well as I do
Oh as well as I do
Just as well as I do
Oh as well as I do
Oh as well as I do

Oh, so
I'm your Christ to die on you
I just woke up hers and you know it as well as I do
I'm your Christ to die on you
This worlds not for hearts and you know it as well as I do

Oh, so you've come from above
and you say you want it all
and I kill myself for your love
I'm killing myself for you, 'cause yes you want love
he's my angel...i'll do anything for him


I can see your sad face, your pitiful lies
Don't have the strength to carry your heavy load of life
I'm your Christ and I want you
This worlds not for hearts and you know it as well as I do
I'm your Christ to die on you
This worlds not for hearts and you know it as well as I do

Oh, yes you do
Oh, yes you do, my Darling
Oh, yes you do..oh
Oh, yes you do, oh my Love
so....

Songs Left Unexplained #6: Disarm Me (With Your Loneliness)

by the end of all of these unexplained songs, i will probably have reviewed every HIM cd.

this song is off of thier latest album Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice

this meaning is from a very recent situation and i saw this song as a foreshadowing..

The promise of heaven pushed us right back to hell
turn three sevens into three sixes again
and you laugh at my face when i told you how much it hurts and said
Disarm me with your loneliness just like always before and
deceive me at my emptiness telling me how you love
you keep on tempting me to go on whatever the cost
to witness the prettiest flower in the wicked to dust
so ill break all the rules and this endless game once called love for you
disarm me with your loneliness just like always before and
deceive me at my emptiness
telling me how you love
me with all your heart no more
disarm me with your loneliness just like always before
disarm me with your loneliness just like always before
deceive me at my emptiness telling me how you love me with all your heart your heart no more
tell me how much it hurts my love
tell me how my kiss can change your world
no more
tell me how much it hurts to be alone
now believe that you hurt me with all your heart
no more

here's my thoughts..

The promise of heaven pushed us right back to hell
turn three sevens into three sixes again
two perfect lovers are being torn apart.parents being "the promise of heaven" to me because they created him and he is my heaven. they have taken him away from me and now pushed me back into a state where i am alone...without my love i feel incomplete, but not completely because i know that he will always love me and is there waiting for me.but they dont realize how much they are hurting us..and me..
and you laugh at my face when i told you how much it hurts and said
the possible reaction if i ever told them how i feel about this..im not sure they would care
Disarm me with your loneliness just like always before and
deceive me at my emptiness telling me how you love
they have continuously grounded him throughout the year and it hurts me. they are nice to me in person but i have heard them discourage him and when you do that, how are you showing love that way? now they've made me alone again...i want to tell them how much i love him
you keep on tempting me to go on whatever the cost
to witness the prettiest flower in the wicked to dust
one time when he got grounded the first time this year in october, he told me to go on without him just because we couldnt see eachother or talk...but i refused
so ill break all the rules and this endless game once called love
for you
just like i always have and will if i have to...i dont care if i have to sneak out and go to Olympian club behind his house at 5 am to see him before school or at 11 at night just to kiss him through the back yard gate, i will.
disarm me with your loneliness just like always before and
deceive me at my emptiness
telling me how you love
me with all your heart no more
that 2 lines is what im afraid to hear...i dont want him to stop loving me. and this song has always been iffy to me because i felt like it was warning me something and now i know...and im scared
disarm me with your loneliness just like always before
disarm me with your loneliness just like always before
deceive me at my emptiness telling me how you love me with all your heart your heart no more
tell me how much it hurts my love
tell me how my kiss can change your world
no more
tell me how much it hurts to be alone
as soon as i see him, i just want to know that he is hurting and missing me as much as i miss him and make sure he still loves me...he said he will love me until the end and promise he will never let me go.
now believe that you hurt me with all your heart
no more
when i see him i wont hurt anymore..

horrible news..

i found out i cant see nick all summer..

i m  c o m p l e t e l y

C   R   U   S   H   E   D

you have no idea.

our one year anniversary is only next motnth

and we cant even talk :'( i just cant stop crying...

i have to cry with no one to comfort me, because he is my shoulder to cry on

i'm going to be so dead at school tomorow

i hope we have a boring day because i know i wont be able to concentrate

his parents are too hard on him..

they make him play soccer and he's blown out his knees, ankles & back

and then they ground him for the WHOLE summer

as if cracking bones in his legs arent bad enough already

and i've heard them put him down before just sitting in the car

and it makes me so sad...

he's helped me through everything

and been there for me and saved me

i wish they could see all that good stuff that i do 

maybe they wouldnt be so hard on him all the time..

i love him more than anything and i hope they change thier mind :(

i miss him so much already

this post is here because nick told me to post it lol

i guess he wants you guys to see his muscles? haha i dont know lol

Poem - Living With Grandma

dictating the small bird and all of its mockings
walking through the woods in her brown striped stockings
picking up wild onions to bring to the clubhouse
to pretend that its bedding and that she is a mouse
eating dry cereal from a Blue Willow bowl
and making her shoes talk through a rip in the sole
riding her bike without leaving the driveway
running through the sprinkler thinking of running away
combing tangles out of that hair, so long; it took so long
crying when the brush rips out chunks, and felt wrong
swinging high on the swings at school
and climbing trees, because she thought it was cool
imaginary dreams and imaginary things
not being allowed to pick up the phone when it rings
watermelon and cantaloup on hot summer days
then walks in the rain with a big pink umbrella befor the foggy haze
playing with rollie-polies and planting beans in the garden
getting caterpillars and watching thier cacoons harden
picking peaches from the backyard tree, but never ate them
the across-the-street neighbors were mean, but she couldnt hate them
not a single friend in the whole neighborhood
just a sister and a navy sweater with a hood
but still, back then, all was good

lets be [*******] immature,

i am in a bad mood.

today, i am tired of people walking all over me

and being just flat out rude to me

yes, i am passive and submissive

but i'm not letting anyone walk all over me anymore

im tired of always being there for people

then they just treat me bad and insult me

or act immature and get mad when they're called out

fine, be an ***hole, i just wont talk to you anymore

3 years of freindship and this is all i get from it

i wish i would have never payed attention to you when you picked up my pencil

because then i would have never known who you were.

meanwhile, i am playing mahjongg here:

http://freeonlinemahjonggames.net/mahjong-slide.html

trying to get my mood up.

and i really want this stuff >.<

good news ~ !!!

remember when i told you all about those graduation tests?

today a teacher showed me my results ~

i passed all of them advanced!! :D

so happy that i passed them all!

bridge to terabithia :(

saddest movie ever :(

and i cried :( yes, i am crying

me and nick watched it today and its just so sad..

leslie was perfect and we miss her

she would have been our best friend :(

she was so bright, and nice and creative

and no one gave her a chance

except that boy...

and then one day  he got a call from his teacher to go to a museum because her nephews had to cancel

when he got into the car he looked over at her house

the teacher asked "are you forgetting something" and he said no

then while he was gone she tried to cross the river & hit her head :(

now that perfect girl is gone...

he should have never left her there..

they made that imaginary world together, they should go there together..

without him there to keep her safe, he was gone and then she was gone..

if i knew her in real life, she would have been my best friend

she was just like me, but she was more positive...

which made her perfect

only the good die young, they say

and i dont care if she is a fictional character

i miss her and she is special to me

this movie hit me really hard, all of the emotions in it..

its emotions i have felt before that i would never want anyone to feel

and the people just felt so familiar and real

like i went to school with them and knew them

and them together...

for him, that was his person to show him who he was

to break him out of his shell

and take him on an adventure

that was the best friend he would ever had

and he should have never let her out of his sight

if he had said what he forgot, it would have never happened

~ it just made me feel so horrible

i couldnt warn the boy or tell him to go get her :(

he felt like it was his fault that she died, and now it feels like its mine

cuz i couldnt warn him :( :( 

what she was to him is like what nick is to me

if i ever lost him, i dont know what i would do

he's my best friend, i couldnt go on without him

we do so much together

...i never wanna go anywhere without him now

i dont want anything to happen to him

he means too much to me

i wont make the mistake that boy did...

i will keep him by my side

i   p  r  o  m  i  s  e

an okay day and a give-away!

today was just a normal sunday, quite boring actually

kinda ran into my boyfriend today though :)

we ended up at the same chinese buffet after church haha

he stuffed an cream-puff in my mouth @_@

then his dad told me to stop "fingering the food" XD

we met at the dessert area to say hi lol

Poem - A Parasite That Never Leaves

so maybe it hurts, but its not a matter to care
...it is, but its hard to explain
and its not something to be messed with
because of all the pain
and i may only be thinking this way because of the rain

but sometimes i wish i had said what i felt
at that very moment in time, but i couldnt
because of the way i felt you would feel...

it wasnt good

maybe if i had expressed these thoughts i thought
maybe in my brain, she wouldnt still be caught
my brain has a web, and i wanted you to take care of it,
not let anything unhealthy for me to be in there

but when a spider catches prey in its web, it eats it
and all of those negative thoughts were devoured
all of that, to cause my feelings to turn soured

and then i got this deadly disease
of a parasite that never leaves

edits,

recent edits for people i've done:

what would my boyfriend look like with black hair? well now we know ↓

then i got carried away with that last one lol

then this banner for Amanda

i cant wait to see what it looks like as her header :)

i wanna picture like that >.<

is it wierd that i am jealous of my own work?! :o

Photography - Honey Suckles

these cuties are growing in my backyard :)

they remind me of my childhood <33

i love honey suckles <3

i get mad basically every morning

partially because i have bad dreams every night

then when i wake up, i think about those dreams

and i get really mad...which isnt good

and every day its getting worse

which also isnt good...

but i cant do anything about it

so i guess thats how its gotta be

it sucks that my dreams can make me wake up thinking i hate someone

sometimes even more than hate

i dont like it, but thats how my dreams are

then i spend a good portion of the morning telling myself 

"they didnt really do that"

"you were just dreaming"

which is why i dont tweet when i wake up anymore

i gotta find a way to change my dreams

cuz i dont wanna have the bad ones anymore..

Lyrics - Sólo un Mal Sueño

first song i have written in Spanish in a while...

since im not fluent, its a little hard

but i still love to write in Spanish anyway

ella es hermosa
ella es bonita
brillante como una estrella
y estoy celoso de ella

vive la vida que quiero vivir
vivio la vida que quiero vivir
vivio la vida que queria vivir
vivio la vida que queria vivir

yo no quiero ser como ella
yo no quiero ser como ella
yo no quiero ser como ella
porque ella es sólo un mal sueño

yo y tu, i love you
te amo mucho, yo y tu
no deje por favor
no puedo vivir sin tu amor

se puede bailar
ella puede jugar
se le conoce en la escuela
y estoy celoso de ella

vive la vida que quiero vivir
vivio la vida que quiero vivir
vivio la vida que queria vivir
vivio la vida que queria vivir

yo no quiero ser como ella
yo no quiero ser como ella
yo no quiero ser como ella
porque ella es sólo un mal sueño

yo y tu, i love you
te amo mucho, yo y tu
no deje por favor
no puedo vivir sin tu amor

Lyrics - The Heartless (cover)

sometimes i like to cover song lyrics, and edit them to tell a different story

i can tell you this story if it needs to be explained...

but in general, its me saying "i want you to only love me"

its a cover of "The Heartless" by HIM

Your pain ain't love


Can't you see she's the heartless
her pain is not love
You're taking it way too far
Don't you know it is wrong?
You're the one for me, baby
You are the one
If you'd only see in my heart
You'd know all is not lost


Your time is running out
And you still haven't made up your mind
Can't you see she's the heartless
And you're one of a kind


she's the heartless...


You can't see she's the heartless
Her pain won't ever be love
It doesn't matter how hard she tries
To her, all is lost...


she's the heartless...

didnt get my hair to look good till 10 pm -_-

fail...

relay for life :)

yesterday i went up to Colerain Park for relay for life

all for cancer awareness :)

i hadnt planned on going before, but after finding out about my uncle i felt like i should

and that it would make me feel a little better

i went up there by myself and i was scared...

my boyfriend and his friend were playing music for money up there 

so when they got there i stayed with them

Nick played bucket-drums and Chris played guitar

we switched spots a few different times and i saw alot of people that i knew

including a couple teachers, (although definitely not my favorites..) classmates and former classmates and a couple people who used to go to my church & old summer camp

we took everything back to the car then came back with 2 guitars and a ukulele

they're all Chris'

so we all had string instruments

at first, they gave me the ukulele because im the smallest...

but i play bass...ukulele is like the total opposite XD

im used to really big metal strings, those were really tiny strings...and a really tiny instrument lol

i didnt really know what to do with it

then i switched out for a guitar and Chris had the ukulele

nick drummed on the back of a guitar and i played a little

Chris left for a while and i started playing a song i wrote for guitar a while ago

and then Nick started rapping to the tune :D

which made me happy, cuz i wrote the song for him...

of course i never had the courage to play it

but the time seemed right...and i wasnt nervous so i just did it

and he said he liked it :) so i was happy

and then it started raining :| i was sad about that

i was starting to wanna stay out longer

but it started raining harder so we ran to the car

of course we ran back outside into the rain for fun lol

then tried to sleep...but that didnt work all that well haha

barely slept at all!

but this is the first time i have ever been with my boyfriend over night :)

he left at 4:30 then Chris moved up to the front seat to sleep and i stayed in the back

i tried to sleep but i got too cold so i stared out the window

at 6:30 his mom took me home

i left with straight hair and came back with curly

humidity is definately NOT my friend!!

speaking of hair, Nicko cut his!

and it looks so cute on him <33

he sent me a couple pictures, and of course here is the product of those + my boredome

these two are the same picture

i like his hair alot >.<

im going crazy ahh!!!

[click pictures for full size]

and somewhere in the middle of all this, we walked to panera

pretty cool, right? :)

PRide :)

lately i've been missing my Puerto Rican family.

this is for you! i am proud to be Puerto Rican :)

it started when i was watching the movie "Feel The Noise" and then i just started missing everything about my family. 

i caught myself saying a couple of PR slang words the past couple days and pretty much all i've been listening to is Reggaeton...

it reminds me of my family, and i miss them

and i miss NY <3

btw, my shirt says "made in USA with PUERTO RICAN PARTS" :D

Screenplay: Ki Ki and the Raccoon Trap

a modernized and humanized take on the Japanese tale, Bunbuku Chagama

if you don't know, Bunbuku Chagama is a Japanese folktale about a raccoon-dog, or tanuki, that uses its shapeshifting powers to reward its rescuer for his kindness.

Bunbuku Chagama roughly translates to "happiness bubbling over like a tea pot." The story tells of a poor man who finds a tanuki caught in a trap. Feeling sorry for the animal, he sets it free. That night, the tanuki comes to the poor man's house to thank him for his kindness. The tanuki transforms itself into a chagama and tells the man to sell him for money.

The man sells the tanuki-teapot to a monk, who takes it home and, after scrubbing it harshly, sets it over the fire to boil water. Unable to stand the heat, the tanuki teapot sprouts legs and, in its half-transformed state, makes a run for it.

The tanuki returns to the poor man with another idea. The man would set up a 'roadside attraction' (a little circus-like setup) and charge admission for people to see a teapot walking a tightrope. The plan works, and each gains something good from the other--the man is no longer poor and the tanuki has a new friend and home.

In a variant of the story, the tanuki-teapot does not run and returns to its transformed state. The shocked monk decides to leave the teapot as an offering to the poor temple where he lives, choosing not to use it for making tea again. The temple eventually becomes famous for its supposed dancing teapot.

hopefully this will help you get where its coming from :)

please comment!

Ki-Ki and the Raccoon Trap

A young girl was walking through the woods looking for flowers. Sun shone through small sections through the tree tops and she would go about picking up flowers at random. She saw a brook in the distance with cat tails and water lilies so she turned to go towards it and hit a trip wire, a cage fell over her from a tree, knocking the flowers from her hands as she hastily pulled them close to her and she inhaled quickly with her eyes wide in shock. She looked around almost in a twitching motion as she stayed crouched over in the barred cage.

Girl: oh my gosh... what? (Sigh) it’s just my luck I get trapped in a cage in the woods, because that just happens to everyone… (Looks around and takes out her cell phone, dials a number and puts the phone to her ear) great, no service… so I’m stuck here.

She pulled her knees to her chest as her head still crouched down to keep from hitting the top of the cage. She had a desperate look in her eyes and slightly scared, tapped her feet back in forth, rubbing the leather together on her boots to make a squeaking noise. She reached to her pocket and pulled out a peanut butter sandwich to eat and then she heard barking. A dog came barking angrily and smashed against the cage. The girl’s eyes grew wide as she shrieked as the dog stuck its muzzle through the bars in the cage nearly biting her and she crawled back as far as she could in fear. I few minutes later a voice from the background says “Daddy, we caught another raccoon!” She heard footsteps rustling through the grass and then two people: an older boy and a little boy. When they saw what they had caught their jaws dropped in shock.

Boy: Benny! …Benny! (Calling to the dog) Benny, come! …Sit; Stay.

The dog sat down and sat next to the boy.

Boy: (comes over to the cage and lifts it up) are you okay, sweetheart? (He reached out his hand to help her up)

Girl: (nods and takes his hand to get up) thank you...

Boy: Anytime (he smiles) now how did you manage to get caught in a raccoon trap?

Little Boy: Yea!! You’re not a raccoon! You’re a girl!! (In teasing voice)

Boy: (gives a mean look to the boy and he sits down and crosses is arms then begins to pet the dog)

Girl: I was just walking around the woods to collect some flowers for my vase at home and I guess I walked through the wrong place, ha-ha.

Boy: (smiles) well, I did place my trap in a questionable spot, I’m sorry you got trapped.

Girl: It’s alright (laughs) I don’t really have the best luck anyways, it was bound to happen.

Boy: well, I don’t want to waste your time too much; it’s starting to get dark. You should go home and get some rest.

Girl: but how can I thank you? You let me out of that trap and you’ve been nice to me, I’d love to make it up to you.

Boy: No, its fine. It’s just common courtesy (he smiled) just take it as a gift.

Girl: but…

Boy: I’ll see you later (he turned and motioned for the little boy to come and they walked away)

She started walking home down the trail in the woods and back to the suburbs. She watched her feet as she walked down the sidewalk and came to her house and opens the door to sit down on the couch.

Girl: he saved me from his dog and got me out of that trap…I really wish I could do something to thank him. (Sigh) you don’t find that many nice people like that around here so it would be common courtesy…but the courtesy is uncommon so it deserves thanks.

She got up from the couch and went into the kitchen. She took out a kettle from a shelf and set it on the counter then made some tea in a pot and poured it in after it was made.

Girl: I’ve got an idea now! I’ll make them a kettle…and some of my mint tea! Everyone likes it; maybe they will too…it’s perfect!

She went to her room and took out her clay and spinning wheel and began on the kettle. She made the handle as a raccoon tail, the face as the spout and little raccoon legs and carved the details with a toothpick and put them in a kiln. She got the mint leaves from her garden and grounded them and made 5 packets of tea in cloth packs with a staple and string with a leaf on the end as a label then painted the kettle and cleaned it. After she was done she went to sleep.

After she woke up she put the tea packets in the kettle and put her mp3 player in her pocket and started walking back through the woods. It started to drizzle so she put the tea in her pocket to keep it dry. As she walked down the path she started hearing some noises behind her in the grass and looked back and saw nothing. She heard it a couple more times and kept on looking back. Then she heard a loud “Screeeech!” and she looked back again, there was a raccoon and she jumped.

Girl: Ahh! (Shrieking)

The raccoon crawled towards her and she began to step back

Girl: go away!! Shoo! (She held the kettle closer to her)

The raccoon stared at her

Girl: (speaking into the kettle) go away!

The raccoon wagged its tail

Girl: hmm… (She thinks then starts blowing a melody into the kettle)

The raccoon began to wag its tail and dance in circles.

Girl: (giggles) awe... so cute! (She kneels down and the raccoon comes to her) I have an idea for you (smiles)

The girl walked the rest of the way to the house in the distance and knocked on the door also leading the little raccoon away from the trap. The Little Boy came to the door.

Little Boy: Who is it? (He opened the door and looked up at the girl) Allen it’s the raccoon girl!!

Allen (Boy): (walks up to the door) Oh hey, come on in! Didn’t expect you, so the house is kind of a mess…sorry! (He laughs)

Girl: It’s alright (giggles) it’s not even messy.

Allen: So why did you come up here? Not to be rude or anything.

Girl: I wanted to say thanks for saving me the other day…so I made this kettle for you and some mint tea if you want it.

Allen: I told you, you didn’t have to do anything to thank me; it’s just common courtesy to —

Girl: It’s also common courtesy to say thank you. (She took out the tea bags and handed him the kettle)

Allen: (smiles) I guess you’re right. (He took the kettle and set it on the counter)

Little Boy: So what’s your name?

Girl: Ki-Ki, what’s yours?

Little Boy: I’m Kelley; we almost have the same name! Two Co’s!

Ki-Ki: (laughs) yeah, I guess.

Kelley: how old are you? Cause you are really small to fit in that raccoon trap

Ki-Ki: I’m 17…but I don’t look that old, I am kind of small.

Kelley: wow! You’re even older than Allen!

Ki-Ki: I am?! But he’s so tall!

Kelley: Allen is 15 and you are two years older…I’m 9…and I’m taller than you!!

Ki-Ki: I know… (Laughs sarcastically)

Allen walks back into the room and looks in the window

Allen: is that a raccoon in the window?!

Ki-Ki: oh!! Yeah, it’s really cute (smiles)

Allen: It’s vicious!

Ki-Ki: Not that one, I met it in the woods…here, let me see the kettle.

Allen: (gets the kettle and hands it to her) are you sure about this…

Ki-Ki: (takes the kettle) yea, its fine! Come outside (skips out the door)

Allen and Kelley: (follow behind Ki-Ki)

Ki-Ki: see, here, watch this. (She takes the kettle and blows inside it the tune to a song and the raccoon starts dancing) see? He dances when you hum a tune!

Kelley: let me see! (Snatches the kettle and hums and the raccoon dances) yay!!

Allen and Ki-Ki: (laugh)

Kelley: look at him dancing Allen!

Allen: I guess it is kind of cute...
.
Ki-Ki: it is!! (She looks at Allen and they laugh, then the scene fades out)
