Felon stopped at the base of the mountain and popped in his music, taking a drag from his cigarret.

is sitting alone reading-

Felon sits next to Alex and pokes him. "Keep on running into you dude, whatcha reading?"

oh just some old textbook

He takes another drag and peers over Alex's shoulder. "You doing okay man? Don't get me wrong, but I think it's....strange, that your just out here reading a....textbook?"

Yea im fine trying to fall asleep -gestures to the textbook-

Laughs out loud, punching your shoulder. "Nice...hey c'mon, sleeping is boring as hell! Do something more...intresting."

like.....

Yoji's truck raced past the sign identifying the large mountain. The road became slightly steeper. The road itself led through a pass, but his and Adrian's destination was offroad. There was a branching dirt road from the main, and this was where Yoji turned.

"A moutain," she lifted her feet, "it will be hard to do this in heels, but if anyone can it's me," she smiled.

"Oh shit, I forgot you were in heels," Yoji said, slapping his hand to his face. "Well we aren't hiking or anything like that." They continued on the winding path until reaching a slight break in the trees. Yoji slowed to a stop.

"I think I could hike in heels," she grinned, "I'd probably break an ankle though."

"How would I live with myself knowing I caused you to break an ankle? Nah, Ol' Bessie is going to do most of the work," Yoji said, giving the pickup a pat on the dash.

"What a gentleman," she leaned over and kissed his cheek.

Yoji smiled. "You better hold on tight," he said, "it's going to get pretty rough. Yoji turned into the trees and drove on the thin path, going further along and up the mountain.

"Okay," she scooted over and held on to him.

As he had said, the path became incresingly bumpy and rocky. The truck handled it fine, though, and soon they reached a clearing. It was a near perfect ring of luscious grass and plantlife.

"Oh my gosh, its so beautiful," she said looking out her window.

Yoji just smiled before he stepped out of the vehicle. He took in the view for the thousandth time.

Adrian opened her door and hopped out. She looked around her and took in a breath of fresh air.

((Gtg, planning a new group and have some shiz to figure out for it ^.^))

"I discovered this place last year after I first got this truck," he said, smiling.

((Oo can't wait to see it!))

"Its really amazing, quite breath taking really," she spun around in the grass.

"Like climb this freaking mountain! C'mon, textbook? Really?" Climbs to his feet and snuffs out his ciggaret, lighting up another. "Get off your ass Alex, your about to have fun!"

-puts the book down- Alright then

Pulls Alex up and starts trudging up the mountain, taking light puffs. "So...tell me about yourself Alex."

well theres not muc to tell honestly tell me about you

Felon scoffs "Random kid i've never met, only know his name, not only that but he's an orphan, and you tell me there's not much to tell. Bullshit, but fine, i'll play"

"I'm Felon, addicted to ciggrates. Gay, I like pretty heavy music if your into that. Uhm....nothing special comes to mind. OH! You play an intrument, I'm trying to form a band if you want in."

"Its really amazing, quite breath taking really," she spun around in the grass."

Yoji watched her and smiled seeing how the dress flared out. "Well I'm glad you like it."

"I'm glad that your glad that I like it," she laughs and walks towards him.

The breeze rippled the fabric on their clothes, as well as cooling them from the sun's rays. Yoji smiled, enjoying the glorious afternoon.

Adrian walks to the center of the clearing and bends down to smell the flowers that surrounded the area.

An idea struck Yoji. "Lay down and close your eyes," he requested.

"Okay," she said and did what he asked.

He picked a handful of the flowers, which turned out to be daisies. Yoji began to place them around Adrian's body; three around the head, four on either side of her torso, and five grand total around the legs. "Try to relax. Forget the world around you and empty your mind."

Adrian took a deep breath in and then let it out. She relaxed her muscles and attempted to clear her mind. When she finally did she said, "Okay."

((I am putting together my new group!!!))

"Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out. Good. Take in the scent of the flowers, let that, and my voice, be the only things in your head," Yoji said. "My family has a tradition of this ritual, surrounding yourself with beauty. This symbolizes your co-existence with nature's beauty. Just relax."

Adrian loved the sound of his voice and the flowers smell. She smiled with her eyes still closed.

((Can't wait to see it :D))

((I'm so sorry, completely forgot))

Yoji sat in front of Adrian's head, cross legged. He closed his eyes as well placing two fingers on each of her temples. Yoji began speaking in Japanese, which can be translated to, "Mother Nature, please accept this life into the folds of your Great Wings. Allow this life's beauty to mix with your own, and bless this life with your touch."

((It's all good))

A smile came to her face. She loved the sound of his voice, and she was really relaxed.

"We praise you in all of your beauty, your pain and sacrifice." Yoji leaned down and kissed Adrian softly on the forehead. "And that's that," he smiled.

"Can I talk now?" she laughs.

"Yes, yes I believe you can," Yoji laughed back.

"Okay," she opens her eyes and sits up.

"My ancestors first started that ritual hundreds of years ago. It is asking for the blessing of beauty from Mother Nature," Yoji explained, picking up a flower.

"I'm confused, about the blessing of beauty part," she played with a loose thread on her dress.

"What do you mean?" Yoji curiously asked, placing the flower in his hair and smiling.

"Well, were you asking if I could have beauty because you think I dont have it, or were you asking if it was okay that I had beauty," she looked at him, "or something else?"

"Firstly, I think you are gorgeous, and secondly, it is beauty of the soul, I guess. It is kind of a hard thing to explain, now that I think of it... I guess it is like, beauty in a more natural form," Yoji said, attempting to explain it. He wished he could have his mother tell Adrian.

"Okay," she smiles at him still a little confused, "thank you, it was sweet."
