Me:'AWWWW your so sweet!' *HUGS LEGATO*

Me:'OWWWW DAMNIT KNVS THATS THE SIXTH TIME THIS WEEK!" Damn now I have to start the story!' Legato: *Shakes Head*
*I figured I would find you out here,"Grayfall said softly. Layen nodded and continued to look out into space, a faint blush on her cheeks. "Mmhmmm," she anwered.Grayfall went and stood next to her. "Y'know,I can tell somehting's been bothering you for the whole time you've been with us....despite what you've let on...I just wanted to let you know that you can tlak to me..."he said looking at the stars. Layne looked at him. "It's just.....well Mom...I just don't understand why...she let me go like that..."she said a speckle of tears forming in her eyes. SHe hastily blinked it back, but Grayfall saw it. "I don't have the answer to that.....but...." he said, looking at her earnestly. Their eyes locked for a moment. Out of the corner of her eye, Layne saw the falling star shot passed them. She closed her eyes,and made a wish. Not a split second later, Grayfalls lips came into contact with her own.*
Layne and comapny were on their way back home. She and Grayfall had been a little akward around eachother, but only Lorienth knew why. She had heard them talking and waked out just in time to see them kissing. ***Flashback*** (Form Lorienth's POV) I heard Layne and Grayfalls voices through the walls. For some reason I was compelled to go out there. THere they were,staring into eachother's eyes. I saw Layne's eyes flicker to the falling star and caught her wish in my mind, much to my surprise. Not a split second later Grayfall kissed her, and she kissed him back.They did this for a minute or so then stepped back breathless and embarrased. Grayfall rushed away, and soon after I heard him go into his room. Layne was already back in bed. Just as I turned, I saw another falling star, and made a wish of my own.
"I wish everyone could be happy"............... **End Flashback** "HELLO EARTH TO LORIENTH!" Layne yelled in her ear. Lorienth looked up at her sister angrily. "Damnit what the hell Layne?!" she hissed. Layne smiled at her. "We're home,get out of the car..."she said throwing their bags out of the truck. Lorienth picked her bag up from the dust and turned to say goodbye tothe others. She waves and a pang of jealousy hit her as Grayfall and she said goodbye, but she quickly pushed it aside.. Then she sighed. "You an asshole you know that Layne?"she said swatting her sister in the head.Layne looked at her with a pouty face. "WHy what did I do this time?"she whined as Lorienth swiped her video game.
Loreinth sent her and Oh-like-you-dont-know-what-you-did-buster look anad turned around marching inside.Layne caught up with her and started arguing, all the way into the house. THey didn't pause for a breath the whole way up the stairs and into their rooms.Finally breaking, Lorienth flung the video game at her sister full force and stomed up the stairs. MEryl and Vash looked at eachother, Meryl raising a skeptical eyebrow at Vash who had a sweatdrop on his head and was scratching the back of his head.
"It's good to be home....."Lorienth muttered, walking into the cool shade of her room.. Downstairs, Layne had dropped her bag and had to go down the stairs to retrieve it. "What was that all about Layne?"Meryl asked. Layne just smiled and shrugged, racing up the stairs and into her own dark blue room. "Man I love my room..."she said throwing the bag in the corner and flopping on the bed.She almost immedeatly dozed off, the event of the vacation playing through her mind like a broken record player. *************** "LORIENTH!" Vash yelled, startling Meryl.He smiled apolegetically and started to yell agian, when Loreinth came jetting down the stairs. "What Dad?" she asked, a bit annoyed. "Heh, I know you just got back and all, but me and you are going somewhere by oursleves.Go tell Layne I sais to stay in the house and rest."Vash said, munching on a donut.Lorienth shook her head and bounded upstairs.Not even bothering to knock, she entered Layne's room to find her asleep on the bed. *Figures....the big baby.....*she thought,grabbing a rather large pillow and smacking Layne's head a few times. Eventually she woke up and grabbed the pillow out of Loreinth's hand.
"DAMNIT LORIENTH WHAT THE HELL!"she screamed, flinging the pillow at her. Loreinth dodged it and smirked evilly. *No Id better no tell her I saw that....not yet at least.*she thought dodging a shoe that came flying in her direction. "Calm down calm down!"Loreinth said grabbing another shoe out of her hand.Layne obeyed (surprisingly) and settled down. "I just came up here to tell you that Dad and me are going somewhere and that he told you to stay home and rest,"Loreinth said in a rush, not wanting to upset Layne again.Layne merely shruggeed and flopped on her bed, muttering something about interupted dreams and donuts. Lorienth smiled then retreated out of the door. She knew that Layne was already asleep. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Layne was sleeping again, the memory of she and Grayfall kissing playing thorugh her mind over and over.It made her feel strangely at peace.She awoke to someone tapping on her door. Reluctulantly she rolled off of her bed onto her feet and swung the door open.
"What-- Oh hi Mom,"Layne said putting on a fake cheery smile and voice. Meryl smiled at this and grabbed her arm. "C'mon we're gonna have a chat over some nice hot n' fresh donuts,"Meryl said leading her down the stairs.Layne followed hesitantly, until she caught the scent of the donuts. Before she knew it they were sitting at the table, Layne devouring the donuts. "Layne we definatly need to talk about what happened..."Meryl said, tensely trailing off. Layne looked at her warily. "I don't really want to talk about.......that"Layne said getting up to leave.Meryl grabbed her arm. "Layne,please I really need to talk about this,"she asdi pleadingly.Layen sighed and sat down, crossing her arms over her chest.THey sat in silence for a few minutes. "Well?"Layne asked looking at her mother a bit apprehensively. "Layne....I'm.Im really sorry.I jsut wish I couldv'e been there for you,"Meryl began.
"I know it must've been hard, being picked on by all the kids in the different towns...I tried to be there for you I did.....and then you just wouldn't talk....."MEryl said. Layne stared at her incredulously. *HELL FRICKING NO SHE IS NOT PINNING THIS WHOLE THING ON ME!*she thought in disbelief. Meryl continued, Layne getting angrier and angrier with each word. "Layne, you coud've come back, I woud've helped ou get through it. I searched for months...the Vash cameand I was afraid, I really did try hard to find ou, but you just wouldnt respond to my pleas to come--"she said, suddenly interrupted as Layen leapt u, the icy look in her eyes again. "HELL NO! HELL FU***** NO MERYL!" she screamed. Meryl looked taken aback. "Don't speak to me that way,"she said sternly. Layne glared at her and the nicked up her half-finished donut.
"ILL SPEAK TO YOU ANY DAMN WAY I WANT!"Layne roared, throwing anything she could get her hands on at Meryl, who had taken refuge behind the upturned table. "YOU NEVER DID CARE! YOU SAY I WAS SUCH A STOIC HUH? WELL BULLSHIT!I TRIED TO TALK TO YOU BUT YOU WERE ALWAYS TO BUSY WIHT SOMEHTING OR SOMEONE. YOU THINK I BELIVED YOUR BULLSHIT LIES ABOUT OUR FATHER?HELL NO!YOU WERE A TERRIBLE MOTHER Y'KNOW THAT?! TERRIBLE! I RAN AWAY, SURE.BUT HELL I WAS 7 YEARS OLD!I WAS GONNA COME BACK I JUST WANTED SOMEONE TO NOTICE ME!I WATCHED YOU. YOU SAY THAT YOU SEARCHED FOR MONTHS HUH?WELL DON'T DELUDE YOURSELF! I LEFT AND WATCHED YOU, WAITING FOR YOU TO SEARCH AND FIND ME. BUT NO THAT VERY FRICKING DAY VASH CAME BACK AND YOU HAD YOUR PANNIES UP IN A BUNCH. YOU DIDNT EVEN SEARCH FOR ME! YOU DIDNT EVEN--"Layne screamed, pent up tears of rage, frustration, loneliness, anger, etc pouring down her face. These were tears from her whole life. Unbenknownst to her she had wrecked the whole kitchen, upending the fridge, tearing the stove from the wall.The walss were filled with holes, various objects lodged in them. At the moment she stopped she had a large crystal dome in her hand and was standing menecingly over Meryl. Meryl was whimpering.
"I--I did---Itried..."she said cryinf in fear and pain. This angered Layne more and she prepared to throw the crystal dome at Meryl.Meryl closed her eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Layne,"she said, as Laynes arm came crashing down. **********************************************************
