"So where'd you move from?" Adam asked as they entered the park.
"Chicago"
"Was it nice?"
"It was ok"
"Just ok?"
"Nothing worth saying. It was pretty dull to me"
"I see. So what do you do in your free time?"
"I do some martial arts, but mainly I write poetry." She shrugged. "And you?"
{This is too good to be true!} "Same thing"
"Cool, we should get together sometime and share poems" By this time they had made it half way across the park by the trees. "Care to spar?" she grinned mischievously.
"Here??"
"No, on the moon. Yes here" she pulled her coat off and threw it to the side.
"Ok, you're on" He smiled and did the same with his coat. They began. The fight went on for about 15 minutes with neither gaining the upper hand. Each had gotten a few hits in, but they were very good at blocking each other. Finally Adam got a kick in after she blocked a punch and Sorcha flew back into a pile of leaves.
"You did NOT just do that" She got up and brushed herself off. Adam could see she was ok, so he smiled,
"It's funny, 'cause I think I did." With that she lunged at him, pushing him back into another pile of leaves. Her knees on either side of his stomach and her arms pinning his shoulders- Adam was stuck. {Wow, she's strong...}{He's really cute}{...and she's so pretty}
"What are you going to do now?" she grinned.
"This" he grabbed two handfuls of leaves and threw them- from the best angle he could with his shoulders down. Before he knew it, she was off him and they were in an all-out leaf war. After a while a truce was called because they were both short of breath from running and laughing so much.
"That was so fun!" Sorcha declared.
"Yeah, I haven't done that in years."
"Same here, but I should get going. I still have some unpacking to do"
"Ok. Do you want me to walk you home?"
"No, it's ok. Once we get to the Center I can drive. Besides, I'm sure your friends are dying to ask you questions and gossip about me" She joked.
Adam laughed, "Probably right, but I won't them say anything bad." He said sweetly.
"Aw. You're too good to be true, you know that?" Sorcha picked up her coat.
"I was thinking the same about you." Adam did the same. The walked back- hand in hand- even though it was a subconscious action. They made light conversation about their poetry types and martial arts history, general small talk.
"Well, this is me" She said as they walked up to a black harley-davidson.
"Nice"
"Yeah, it suites me"
"So, do you want to meet me back here tomorrow?" Adam asked in a slightly nervous tone.
"I'd love to."
"Great. About one?"
"Sounds good" She smiled and put on her sun glasses. "See you tomorrow" She kissed his cheek... he blushed.
"Yeah" He smiled and waved as she drove off.
~*Meanwhile*~
"I wonder why Adam isn't back yet" Aisha concerned.
"Relax 'Sha. Adam's a big boy and can take care of himself." Kim reassured her from the balance beam.
"I know that Kim, but you know the trouble new people seem to get in here- think of Tommy, Kat, Rocky, Adam, and myself."
"True... but still, not everyone who moves here gets turned evil"
"Yeah. But I'm only giving him another hour before I try his communicator"
Kim laughed.
"I'm serious!" Aisha raised her voice- but was smiling. Rocky laughed and put his arms around her waist,
"We know baby" Just then Kat came walking over.
"What's wrong Kat? Tired of watching Tommy and Billy spar?" Kim giggled as she dismounted.
"You know it. Those two just keep going. I expect to find energizer batteries in their backs one day." Everyone laughed.
Adam walked in the door with a wistful smile on his face, leaves in his hair and stuck to his shirt, and his coat slung over his shoulder. Rocky walked up to him and picked a leaf out of his hair.
"And what were you doing this whole time?" Rocky smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"Well, we were walking in the park and decided to spar... that turned into a leaf fight" he blushed a bit.
"She fights?"
"Yeah, and she's good"
"Oh, did she beat you?" Rocky teased.
"It's hard to say, I kicked her into some leaves, but she got up and pinned me down- then we started with the leaves."
Before Rocky got a chance to answer with another silly remark, which Adam knew he would, Aisha came over and swatted Adam's arm.
"What took you so long?"
So, once everyone else gathered- Adam retold the day's events with Sorcha. Although everyone was still a bit unsure, they were happy Adam had found someone who shared his interests.

"Zeddie, there's a new girl in town. Should we cast a spell?" Rita entered the thrown room.
"No dear, it's been done and failed every time. If we want to win we have to be more original" Zedd replied.
"You're right, I'll leave you to think" {I HATE having to answer to him about the plans...}
