Sitting alone /open/

[Ant & Ash Conan]

Ashton sat on a branch pretty high of the ground his left leg dangling down off the branch and swinging around in the air boredly. Ashton's dangling leg, and bright blue and white hair gave him away up in the tree, that and the hot pink jacket he wore over a royal purple shirt that had a lime green cat with the words 'Radioactive sexyness.' It was tight agaisnt his body the way he liked it, just like the Old Navy dark washed jeans on his legs, skinny jeans slightly loose for they were a size to big and held up by a hot pink belt to match the jacket. On his feet, of course were a pair of black vans with lime green laces. He was chewing on his lip ring out of sheer boredom and since he was sleepy. He hadn't been asleep all night. He'd been up in this tree and had been walking around. Not quite ready to go back and talk things over with Anthony, who he was still mad at. Hung by the strap below him was the back pack that held the diaries of his Uncle and Grandfather, he had just found out some of them belonged to the old hoot of a man.

Walking through the park was a worn out Antony. He had been walking around all night looking for Ashton, but had seen no trace of the boy. Antony had to admit, when Ashton didn't want to be found. He didn't want to be found. Antony's hair was screwed up messy from him running his hand through it repeatedly. He wore a grey shirt with a black and white panda on it, clinging to his body with a black hoodie over it that had a crown on it with the word 'King' in lime green letters on the back. He had on the same pair of jeans as Ashton, only his were slightly more worn. On his feet, Antony wore a pair of tan vans that had black and pink on the label on the side of each shoe.

After being cooped up inside her house for the past few days, Zanna was extremely glad to be outside right now--even if it was a little bit cold. Plus, it was pretty nice not throwing up every four or five minutes, which she'd also been doing before. Basically, not having the flu anymore was a hell of a lot better than having it. As if that wasn't obvious enough on it's own. She was one to point out the obvious, though.

That oh-so-fabulous day, Zanna was dressed in a three-quarter sleeved shirt of a pale blue color. Sprinkled all over in no particular fashion were small black, gray and white dinosaurs. The top seemed more like it was a pattern made for six or seven year olds, but she liked it a lot. It was cute, plus the dinosaurs sort of reminded her of Antony. And that was good, since he was her best friend and all.
Anyway, her pants clung to her legs, nicely showing off what little curves she actually had. They were of the dark-wash type, and looked pretty new, even though they weren't. In fact, she'd had them for over two ears. She'd gotten them in Europe...but that was a different story. And a boring one that she doubted anyone wanted to hear about. So onto her shoes.
It was probably predictable what the dark-haired girl wore on her feet, since she tended to wear the same types of shoes every day. But I'll tell you anyway. They were a pair of black Converse scribbled on by some random people she'd became friends with way back when she'd went to Hawaii. Or Florida. She couldn't remember, but they hadn't been from New York. Or California. Or any of the other 46 states she'd yet to mention.

Glancing up at a tree she passed, Zanna noticed a random leg hanging down from it. She wasn't sure if she knew who the leg belonged to, so she decided to keep walking and see if the leg-person decided to come down to the tree. You see, she didn't quite feel like embarassing herself. At least not yet. Not this early in the morning. She had to wake up a little more.

"Hey Zanna, uh.. Anthony, wouldn't happen to be anywhere nearby would he?"Ashton called down looking at Zanna. She was bound to know, she WAS Anthony's best friend after all. Ashton looked around, but tree branches blocked his view, so he was stuck to have Zanna help him. The last thing he wanted was to run into Anthony, he just didn't want and or need it.

Anthony noticed Zanna he would have tried to catch up with her, but he was far to tierd. Instead he contented himself to sitting down on a bench and looking up at the greying sky. Oh happy happy joy joy, another wonderful day was on its way. Yawning Antony closed his eyes making sure his phone was on loud so he would hear it.

[nikki]

Zanna glanced up at the sound of her name, not really having paid attention before. She'd, instead, been staring at the grass, wondering how hard it would be to try and count every blade. She'd been about to start trying to count the grass when she'd heard the tree-person say her name.

Walking beneath the tree, she glanced up and saw Ashton. She'd nearly jumped and shouted his name, but decided against it because he didn't seem to want to be noticed. Listening to the question, she nodded. "He's on the bench over there," she replied, pointing even though he probably couldn't see what she was pointing at. "He looks too lazy and/or tired to come over here though. What's wrong?" she asked, curiously raising an eyebrow.

"Fuck."Ashton said pushing his back up against the tree as much as he could then looking back down at her. "We got in a fight. A long one. He chased me around the city four yelling matches followed after that to. I spent all night up here, and I'm trying to make a break for it, could you do me a favor? Could you keep him distracted, long enough for me to get out of here unnoticed?"Ashton asked putting on a curious worried face. He didn't want to end up staying in this tree all day. He wanted out, he wanted to go shower, change then wonder about aimlessly among the city.

[nikki]

"That must suck. Sleeping in a tree--if you slept--doesn't really sound like the most appealing thing to do," said Zanna, pulling a face before glancing back over to Anthony again. "Mm. I don't really know how to distract people all that well, but I'll give it my best shot," she said, offering a sort of confident grin.
"See you later alligator," she said over her shoulder, starting to walk toward Antony. About half way there, she felt like she was taking too long, so she broke out into a rapid-paced skipping, then sat herself down next to the older of the Conan's she had met so far. "Hey, Antsi-pants, how are you?" she asked, smiling softly.

[Ant & Ash Conan]

"Thanks Zanna."Ashton said as she walked off. Dropping the backpack to the ground out of few he bent down and waited for Antony to start talking, before he chose to jump down.

Antony opened one eye looking at Zanna a small smile on his face. "Antsi-pants?"He asked raising his eyebrows and looking at her opening both eyes. "Its good to see you, tierd, worried. How about you?"Antony asked looking at his shoes as he kicked up the snow gently.

[nikki]

Zanna nodded, again looking a bit like a child. "Your name is Antony--shortened to Ant; you're wearing pants, and Ansti-pants sounds better than Ant-pants," she said, shrugging a shoulder and glancing over her shoulder to see if Ashton had managed to get away yet. Of course not. So what was a good distraction? She'd never been the distraction before; just the person sneaking off to do something.

"It's good to see you too," she added, smile fading from her face as time wore onward. "How come you're tired and worried?" she asked, tilting her head to the side a little bit. She probably looked more stupid doing this, but it was a habit. Or...a reflex. She hadn't decided which one better fit it yet.

[Ant & Ash Conan]

"Ah, okay, well in that case, Antsi-pants is good."Antony said a small smile touching his face again but dissappearing a minute later. "Cuase I've pissed Ashton off, he didn't come home last night, so i wondered around all night long trying to find him and I still haven't."Anthony said still kicking the ground. Ashton chose that moment to jump to the ground. As soon as he jumped he rolled making the impact not as hard. Grabbing up his bookbag Ashton took off running. Anthony looked up but ddn't say anything about Ashton's retreating form. "I didn't mean to piss him off."Antony added defensivly more to himself then to Zanna.

[nikki]

"Awh. That sucks. I'm sorry," said Zanna looking up at him and resisting the urge to give him a hug. She figure a hug with anyone would just make them feel awkward, so she stuck to looking at people, and tugging them by their wrists and getting piggy back rides. Those were always fun. But hugs? Different story. Plus, the last time she'd hugged him had been a little weird, and she didn't want anything between them to be weird in the slightest bit.
Vaguely hearing someone drop to the ground, a smile connected with her face. As long as the bright-haired boy managed to make it out of sight before being caught, she'd have been successful. And on her first try of being a distraction. Neat.

"Its fine, he'll show up, sooner or later. Its like, my mother and grandfather always said. The boy can't be found, until he chooses to be found. Come on, lets go some where."Anthony said laughing and standing up holding a hand out for her. "Some where warm that I can sit and rest."He added

Ashton had made it out of the park by now and was running on his way home to get a quick shower and change. Then go some where else, maybe? He didn't know yet.

[nikki]

Zanna felt slightly guilty not telling him where Ashton had gone, but felt better once he stopped sounding so down in the dumps about it. He didn't exactly look ecstatic or anything, but he wasn't as worried. "Warm and sit and rest. Why don't you just go home?" she asked, taking his hand and standing up. "If it was me, I'd probably just go back home and sleep...but I guess you're not me." Wow. She was pointing out the obvious again. Perhaps it was becoming a habit.

[/size][/color]

[Ant & Ash Conan]

"You're correct, I should go home but I choose not to because I haven't seen you in a day or two."Anthony said sticking his tongue out at her. "I would, if I was you, but as you said. I'm not you. Miss Points Out THe Obvious alot."Antony said teasing her. Oh boy how he enjoyed teasing her. Who wouldn't she was teasable.

[nikki]

Zanna rolled her eyes and decided not to protest. It wasn't as though she didn't want to hang out with him, and she doubted he'd give in, so not protesting was good for now. For now. At the next comment, she grumbled a little and stuck her tongue out at him. "Soo, you go without seeing me for a couple of days, then decide that the best thing to keep me around would be to tease me?" she asked, arching an eyebrow and smirking slightly.

[Ant & Ash Conan]

Anthony laughed. "Yes! Yes!"Anthony chirped twirling around in front of her laughing some more. "Psht, were ya been anyway?"Antony asked stopping his spinning and looking at her while walking back wards. Yeah, when he couldn't find one of his friends he got awefully lonely. "What is it I should do to keep you around, anyway?"Antony asked looking at her with a wide eyed expression that held curiosity all over it.
