Chapter 5: Stay away from Draco



Alex Swanson entered Fantasy land looking for Donovan and Harry's group. He shook his head, thinking of his female counterpart's groups activities. He trailed them for a while first, hoping he could find something or other to tease Alex about. They were like an old married couple, or so Donovan always told him. The only problem with that was he could never see himself dating her, let alone kissing her or loving her past anything but brotherly. He had elaborated that to her and D before, and she got it, although his brother hadn't seemed to.

Alex and Ben had mainly walked together, arm in arm (as usual) looking like a couple. Whenever asked when they were going to start dating, they passionately disagreed, and said that nothing would ever happen. Once, he saw Craig Grades ask them, and he was *unluckily* in front of Paul, a good friend of theirs. Well, Craig was soon after sprayed with some drink, as Paul burst into laughter. It was amusing, although he felt bad for Paul, as some of the fizzy drink went out his nose.

He shut the windows into his mind down, and followed them silently, so they wouldn't know he was trailing them.

"Hey love! Come on the Maddahorn with me!" Alex squealed, as she saw the white mountain looming ahead.

"No way," Ben answered, looking down at his best friend.

Alex cursed under his breathe. For a second, he thought she had been talking to him, as she used the endearment "love" with her close guy friends. He watched as Alex pleaded with him for a while, until Draco Malfoy stepped in.

"Hey, Alex," he said, his English accent warm and soft to her ears.

"Yeah?" she asked, her voice soft and shy, as she looked up at him, her green eyes shining slightly. He rolled his eyes at her attempts. She would never be feminine.

Well, she must have looked so to Draco, because he coughed slightly, and stood on one foot, and then switched to the other quickly. "I'll go on the ride with you," he said, looking down at her, and giving one of his breath- taking grins.

She giggled slightly, and then covered her mouth in horror.

Ben started laughing, and so did Craig. "It's not funny!" Alex yelled, turning to two of her good friends.

"What's funny?" Elizabeth asked, back from re-filling her water. Sabre grinned.

"That," Ben tried to stop laughing and failed. "Giggle," he finished, receiving a drop dead look from the little vixen.

Craig came up and ruffled her hair. "Come on, Sis! Just go on the ride with Draco over there. We'll wait down here, ok?"

She glared up at him. "Fine," she said, turning toward Draco, becoming a tad shy again. "You ready?" she asked.

He grinned another rare grin down at her and grabbed her arm, leading her toward the entrance to the line.

Alex re-opened the windows in his mind, and searched for Alex's waves. He finally caught one and assumed it was about Draco, as it consisted of, 'Ben! Gosh, he's hott!'

Then he heard Ben's voice as he kythed back his message. 'I must admit, he is cute. But he reminds me of that one nine-year-old --.'

Ben's voice was interrupted. 'That guy was 15!' she screamed, in his mind, and abruptly closed her mind windows from everyone.

He looked over to Ben, who had shaken his head.

"We've lost her," he said sadly to the group.

"Oh," Craig said, grinning slightly.

"What?" Elizabeth asked.

"At the moment, Alex is drooling over that Draco character."

Sabre looked up from all the rides and people. "Of course."

"What?" Craig asked, looking at her, blinking at her beauty. Her blonde hair curled slightly around the bottom of her face. He looked into her hazel eyes, and she closed them, much to his dismay.

"Everyone does. It's in his nature," she told them.

Ben blinked. "Everybody does what?"

"Falls for that git."

The Americans took the strange word as an insult and looked over at her.

"Even I think he's a cutie," Lizzy told them, her accent making Ben smile slightly.

"See what I mean? Everyone would give their left arm and their Mum for an hour in a cupboard with him." Sabre's language shocked Alex, and he looked up at his best friend, who was slowly beginning to come out of her shell for the tall stud. She was grinning, and batting her lashes, completely falling for him. Alex turned back to the group, and listened to more of what Sabre said. "Be worried about your friend," she advised, blowing some hair out of her eyes. "Malfoy has set his eyes on her, and he always gets what he wants. And when he's through, he'll dump her on the side of the road like garbage."

Craig blinked his eyes, thinking about what Sabre just said. "He's evil, that one," she told them all, shaking her head slightly. "And no one, not even your little doll-face, can save this one."

The group was silent for a long while, and they all waiting for Draco and Alex to come out of the ride. Soon they did.

"Dude," Alex moaned. "My stummy is all ucky!" she said, stumbling alone, her hands gripping at her stomach.

Draco smirked. "Ok, this is going to make me look like a complete idiot, but could you explain those words? You American's have a crazy language!"

"Well," Alex said, walking toward the group who looked unreasonably quiet. "Dude," she laughed. "Dude means friend, or bro or something along those lines. Stummy is not a common word said here." She grinned slightly, and looked up at him, almost melting when she saw the blue-gray eyes half covered by hair look back down at her. "It's my word. It's a mix between stomach and tummy. And ucky, is like yucky." She saw the blank look that came onto his face. "It means. gross, I guess." She wiped away some of her wet hair away from her face. Reaching inside her purse, she grabbed a pony tail and put her long brownish hair up into a messy bun on the top of her head.

"You shouldn't have sprayed me with that water," she told him, grinning as she looked down at her white capris. "It looks like I peed myself!" she complained.

"Well, you shouldn't have started to mess with my hair!" Draco said, smirking slightly. He saw Sabre look over at one of the American guys and he grinned. So, was Sabre-wabre finally falling for someone?

"Yeah?" Alex added, glaring slightly up at him, and grinning. "You shouldn't have started tickling me!"

"But love," Ben said using the unfamiliar endearment, walking up behind her and grabbing at her stomach. "I'm only allowed to tickle you." He glared up at Draco and started tickling her stomach, trying to get a message across. Alex, confused why he called her 'love' was brought back to the present

Draco looked at Ben, and then over to Sabre, who was drinking Pepsi.

"BEN!" Alex squealed up at her friend, dodging his hand. "It's not cool to eat my soul."

"Wait," Lizzy asked, looking up. "Eat her soul?"

Ben grinned slightly, still glaring at Draco. "You grab at a person's stomach, sucking their soul into you so they can't say certain words. Come on, Alex! Say 'Bird."

Alex glared at her best friend and looked at her feet. Craig laughed and shook his head. "Biiiiiiiiiiiir." She said, unable to pronounce the "d". "I hate you, Ben."

Ben came and hugged her, looking at Draco over her shoulder. "No you don't, love!"

Alex blinked a few times and then looked over at Craig. Ben never called her 'love'. He shrugged, and Alex stepped out of the hug, looking curiously up at Ben, who was still in a staring match with Draco.

'Ben?' Her voice entered his mind, curious and demanding attention.

Alex shook his head, and turned. Time to go check on the other groups. He could hear Ben's voice in the back ground of his brain before he shut his windows. 'Stay away from Draco,' was the message kythed to Alex.
