[Ant & Ash Conan]

"Eh, its just one I was reminded of with his lieing thing. So I wrote it down. And it slipped into my memory, photographic memories are good for somethings, not all things."He said smiling. It had, or part of it, had come from a story and he just added onto it to make it sound better than just saying a lie only has one face. Or he thought it sounded better.

Ashton thought about it a moment. "Another?"He asked a pout on his lips but his eyes holding that laughing expression they always seamed to hold.

[nikki]

"Yes, Antony, let us in on more of you inner wise-ness. Please?" Zanna asked turning to look at him and simply smiling. She didn't feel like pouting right now--she was in too good of a mood. It was slightly strange that she was happy at all, considering how her day had first started out, but she sometimes bounced back like that. It was strange and random, but it really did happen.

"Eh, okay. Let me think one up."Antony said tapping his chin and looking between the two for some sort of inspiration. He saw something twinkle, around Ashton's neck and it gave him just what he needed.

"“Follow your Star.”
The words are simple, but the real thing is a little tricky. Does it mean direction? Is it Destiny?
If you could chart the movement of the largest, farthest, fastest supernova and still find the smallest grain of interstellar matter---stardust---would it answer the why, the where, the who? Would it finally connect you in a line of time and circumstance to a singular continuum like the drawn lines of a five-pointed star?
If only it were that simple.
The trick in chasing Destiny is to feel it as a rider, a rider on a spinning ball waiting for a rare chance in time. Those few moments of balance between darkness and light where the Infinite is in motion and the motion is felt as a dance, as a solution that dissolves the question."Antony said it hesitantly at first but his voice growing in confidence as he began to remember it. He had gotten it out of a book being as to why he had his eyes closed. He was reading it basically. His lids being the screen.

[nikki]

Wow. He seemed so...philosophical. And Zanna felt like she'd heard what he'd said somewhere else. Wasn't it in that one book she'd had to read last year? Or maybe it was just her imagination. That wasn't too unlikely, either.
If only she had a photographic memory. That would make a lot of stuff so much easier. Test-taking? She'd just close her eyes and visualize her notes, or something. Too bad it was possible to 'borrow' someone else's memory. If it was, she'd definitely borrow Antony's for anything important like that. If he let her.
"Well. You're quite the philosopher, now aren't you?"

"More like quite the copy-cat, but we can lie and say I am."Antony said grinning and standing up. He shook for a moment trying to get the back of his shirt away from his skin because it was really hot. Sitting down on the floor between the two's legs he looked up at them grinning.

Ashton smiled and laughed. "Another?"He asked. Antony shook his head. "In a little bit. It takes effort trying to recall all these sayings and what not!"Antony said chuckling.

[nikki]

"Alright, that sounds good to me but, if I recall, Ashton isn't the greatest liar around so it might be a little hard for him to do that," Zanna said, turning to look at the boy of whom she'd spoken of and grinning childishly before poking him once more. It was random, but she liked poking people...
Well, right up until they poked her back. She wasn't very fond of that part.

[Ant & Ash Conan]

As soon as Ashton was poked again he went into a giggle fit trying to ride himself of the ticklish sensation. "Zan ban found Ashie's weakness. He's very ticklish. At the back of his neck, you don't even have to touch him, you can just put a finger an inch away from his neck and he'll start squirming."Antony said chuckling.

[nikki]

[hahh. That's what my friend Jenni does! Only with her ear, not her neck...Yea xD]]

"Mwahaha," Zanna said, cackling evilly for a few seconds. "No, but I won't use it against you...most of the time. I might, if you use something against me. But chances are, I won't, so you don't hafta worry." She'd said that only because she always figured that once people found out her weaknesses that they'd use them against her, and liked to be reassured that they weren't actually going to.
"Heh. I'm going to try that some time."

[Ant & Ash Conan]

Ashton started squirming at the thought and slid off the couch by accident. He squeled slightly as he felt the cold hair catch his bare back where his shirt had been pulled up. He scrambled up and back on to the couch bringing his knees up to his chest and giggling. Antony leaned back raising an eyebrow as he watched Ashton's odd behavior. "Whats wrong with you?"Antony asked mockingly laughing at himself and Ashton.

[nikki]

Cocking an eyebrow, Zanna couldn't help but chuckle at the boy's display. "I guess he is really ticklish," she remarked, pretty much just talking to herself. "Or...He's being inhibited by an otherworldly spirit that's making him act this way," she added, this time talking to the people around her rather than herself. They boys were both so strange--but each in their own way. It was...well, strange.

Ashton grinned. "Its the first. Ghosties don't like me."Ashton said frowning it was only for a moment for it was replaced as Antony took Ashton's shoe off and started tickling his feet causing him to squirm and laugh. "Stop stoppp stop!"Ashton cried trying to take his foot away from Antony's grip, he failed in this and resorted to kicking Antony's hands, but that didn't work either.

[nikki]

Zanna rolled her eyes. They really did act like 10 and 11 year old brothers. Or, at least, they were acting like them right now. As always, though, she couldn't really be one to say much about it. She acted like a child a lot of the time as well, so it would be hypocritical. And plus, it was amusing. Saying they acted like children might make them--and her entertainment--stop.

"Come on Zan Ban, help me get him!"Antony said pulling Ashton off the couch gently still tickling him on his sides now. "Nono!"Ashton whine smiling and laughing really hard. Antony stopped for a moment, giving Ashton time to catch his breath and to calm down. Ashton's face was a bright red from how hard he had been laughing. Relaxing Ashton caught his breath and calmed down as Antony laughed at him.

[nikki]

"Naww. I'll leave the tickle-fighting to you two," Zanna replied, small grin appearing on her face, then slowly widening as she pulled her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around her legs. She debated on whether or not she should advise Antony not to tickle Ashton so hard that he peed--because it was possible--but ultimately decided against it. They could handle each other; they'd lived with one another since...well, forever.

[Ant & Ash Conan]

Antony laughed as Ashton got up and wrapped his arms around him buring his face into Antony's chest. "Tacklehug!"Wasthe muffled cry that came from Ashton as he wiggled so he was completely huddled onto up Antony's torso so he didn't get lifted up on Antony's knees like sometimes. Antony laughed and pushed Ashton off who rolled for a moment then started laughing again. Antony nodded to Zanna. "Whatda say Ash, how about we get her now?"Antony asked looking at Ashton who giggled and nodded.
