A/n: Hey everyone.  Well….here's the next chapter.  We hope you all enjoy it.  WE had fun writing this one…hehe.  Well, enjoy! ^^

Enter…Sunde…

*****The end of the day*****

Omi: *goes to his locker to put away books*

Em:*grabs Omi and pulls him to her car and into it*Hi, Omi-chan.

Omi: *blinks* hello....

Em:*grins mischievously*lets have some fun, ne? we'll pick up Ken and go have a great time.

Omi: anou.....

Em:*blinks at him*Please? I need to get away from my new home.

Omi: alright....

Em:*peals out of the driveway and goes to the flower shop, stops right outside, and has a habit of driving like Schu...since he did teach her*

Omi: you want me to go get ken-kun?

ken: *moving pots in the greenhouse*

Em: hai hai!*smiles*

Omi: alright...*goes looking for ken*

ken: *finishes moving pots, then goes to get a drink*

ran: *working the register*

Em:*walks in, blinks at the fan girls*.....why are you preppy girls always here?*makes a face*

Yohji:*enjoying the attention of the girls*

ran: *still running register, but nods to Em*

Ken: *sitting on a counter, drinking a sports drink*

Omi: *begins attempting to make his way over to Ken*

Em:*sighs, knowing it's gonna take Omi longer to get there than her, walks over, passing Omi up due to the fan girls.*Ken-kun. how are you? wanna go do something fun?*has a mischievous look in her eyes*

Yohji:*blinks at Em, figures he's got teasing material on Ken*

Omi: *glomped by numerous girls, sighs*

ken: *blinks* like what?

ran: *making an arrangement for a older woman*

Em: Let's go play some soccer, since poor Omi wont be able to get away to go with us...*makes a face at the girls* I just need a break from my new room mates.

Yohji:*flirting*

ken: *looks at clock* sounds good....I'm off in about two minutes....

ran: *finishes arrangement, rings up the woman, goes to put his apron away*

Omi: *begins to help girls find flowers*

Em: Great! Ran-kun. Do you wanna come with us?

Yohji:*nearly falls over, had thought Em was asking Ken on a date, but the asking Ran too didn't quite make sense for a date type atmosphere*

ken: *In a slight state of shock that she actually asked Ran*

ran: *blinks* where are you going?

Omi: *looks up when ran speaks...still slightly miffed that Ran will speak more than two words to Em*

Em: I was thinking we could play soccer...but if you'd rather do something else, we could always just go shopping, or for a walk, or the beach or a movie*basically offering to let them choose*

ken: *still in slight shock*

ran: *looks around* whatever to get out of here.....

Omi: *goes back to helping the girls*

Em:*grins*let's go then. We can all play soccer with the kids. we'll take my car

ken: *makes his way out of shock* alright....hey, when'd you get a car?

ran: *was going to ask that question but ken beat him to it*

Omi: *still helping girls and getting no where*

Em: about...*thinks a second*a few days ago...why?

Yohji:*helping/flirting with girls*

ken: oh, just wondering....shall we?

ran: *nods*

Omi: *see last note*

Em: well, let's go!*grins, walks out to her car, gets in and waits for them*

ran/ken: *follow Em to the car and get in*

Em:*grins, pulls out and drives to the soccer field, in her hazardous way that Schu "taught" her*

ran/ken: *not fazed at all by her driving*

Em:*stops the car and gets out, pulls a soccer ball out of the trunk*shall we?

ken: *gets out of the car* yup!

ran: *gets out of car...nods*

Em:*smiles, calls over some little kids who are playing*who's up for a game of soccer, kids?

A few kids: We wanna play!!

ken: *smiles*

ran: *looks on with a slight smile in his eyes to those who know how hard to look*

Em:*gets the game started with her and ken playing on opposite teams*

ran: *ends up as a referee of sorts*

ken: *having fun*

both: *VERY glad to be out of the flower shop*

Em: *Having fun as well, very glad to be away from Schwartz for a while, even if it is with their "enemies"*

kids: *Having fun, mainly watching Em and Ken play*

*****after the game*****

Em:*grins*that was fun! I'll take ya guys home...but then I got to go...

ken: yeah it was fun...and thanks for the ride!

ran: *nods*

Em:*grins*no prob.*gets in the car, waits and then drives them back to the flower shop, goes "home"*

ran/ken: *head into the flower shop to help close shop*

schu: *watching TV at the Schwarz home*

brad: *working at his desk on paperwork*

nagi: *doing homework*

farf: *asleep for once...*

Em:*walks in the door, glances around and sighs*I'm back.

Alex:*for once at her own house, doing homework*

Syd:*snuggling up to Schu*

schu: ~ *to Em only* Father wants to see you~

brad:*still working*

Em:*sighs* ~I had hoped he'd forget....oh well. Thanks~ *walks up and knocks on the door*

schu: ~*still to Em* good luck~

brad: *puts papers away* come in Emerald.

Em:*comes in, determined to show no fear*you wanted to see me? *To Schu* ~thanks...~

schu: ~*mental nod*~ *goes back to TV*

brad: yes, about last night...

Em:*sighs*

brad: *gives long insanely boring speech* so don't ever do that again or our superiors WILL hear about it. *walks over to her*

Em:*had basically tuned him out somewhere near the beginning, but figured he was close to the end when he said "so" and started listening again*hai.

brad: *glares at her.....then punches her in the face*

schu: *still watching TV*

Em:*refusing to give him the satisfaction of knowing he caused her pain, bites the inside of her cheek and just stares at him*

Syd:*falls asleep*

brad: *glares and punches her again*

schu: *eventually falls asleep on the couch*

Em:*still refuses to give him any satisfaction, though she knows he could probably kill her if he hit hard enough. Glares back at him, almost defiantly*

brad: *continues 'beating sense into her'*

schu: *snores*

Em:*continues to fight the pain and give him no satisfaction, until she can barely stand, refuses to cry, but is in obvious pain by that time*

brad: *when she can barely stand, stops* now,  get out of here. I have work to do. *goes back to his desk and to work*

schu: *sleeping still*

farf: *in the kitchen making smoothies*

Em:*stumbles out, winces, covered in blood from her "beating" goes out the door, ignoring anything around her*

Syd:*sniffles in her sleep*

schu: *wakes up and does a mental scan of the area*

nagi: *finishes homework and heads to get drink of water*

Em:*outside, crying under a weeping willow*

farf: *playing with blender*

brad: *working on paperwork*

schu: ~*to Em* hey...?~

Em:*hugs her legs, not even noticing the fact that she's loosing a LOT of blood* ~...what?~

nagi: *gets his water*

schu: ~you alright?~ *gets off the sofa and heads outside to smoke*

Em:*starting to get dizzy* ~...if being dizzy and in pain counts as "Alright" then yes....~

schu: *notices her when he gets outside* ~alright....you bandaged me up last night...now I'm gonna return the favor...like it or not.~ *walks over to where she is*

Em: ~You are not! I've got injuries over more than just a leg or arm and I am not letting ANY guy touch me!~ *winces as pain shoots through her, getting way dizzy now*

schu: *glares at her as he picks her up* ~ heh...very funny....I am at least going to help you bandage your ribs...~

Em: ~WHAT?!?! I am NOT taking off my shirt! I don't even wear a br-....er...you don't need to know what I was gonna think....~ *sweat drops, winces when he picks her up*

schu: ~*laughs* oh well....then I'll get some of the med supplies from the space room and run you a bath....~ *makes his way up to her room* sound good to you?

Em:.....hai....*suddenly passes out from blood loss, where she had been sitting under the tree is a BIG puddle of blood*

schu: ~mein gott....~ *lays her on her bed and goes to get med supplies and a wet rag*

Em:*is most definitely out...*

Syd:*sleeping peacefully*

schu: *bandaging em's wounds while she's out*

nagi: *sleeping*

farfie: *um.....

brad: *making coffee*

schu: *asleep*

nagi: *waking up*

farf: *um.......I'm not sure I want to know....*

Syd:*skips into the kitchen*where Alex and Emerald?

Alex:*at her home...for once*

Em:*still out*

brad: I believe Alex is at home and I'm not sure where Emerald is...

Syd: oh...*smiles*she must be sick then

brad: *blinks*

Syd:*is very observant for a little girl*Sydney hear her cry night yester...

Em:*slowly waking up*

schu: *hugging a pillow and mumbling something about ice cream in his sleep*

brad: ah....*pours himself coffee and heads back to his office*

nagi: *enters the kitchen* ohaiyou...

Em:*suddenly screams in pain, having forgot her "punishment" and moved, which is only MORE painful the following day*

Syd:*blinks a few times*she sound in pain

nagi: *blinks and heads up to see what's wrong*

schu: *wakes up due to the scream...but is still rather groggy* wha.....

farf; *randomly appears in kitchen playing with blender*

Syd:*tugs on Farfie's pant leg*Sydney want smoothie, Please?*big, chibi eyes*

Em:*bites down hard on her lip, muttering*Stupid Brad, he just HAD to go over board.

farf: *blinks* alright....what flavor? *begins cleaning out blender...don't ask what he had in it......*

nagi: *knocks on em's door* are you alright?

schu: *mumbles something about insanity and falls back asleep*

Em:*growls*No!!! I'm NOT alright!*is getting WAY angry...and loosing control*

Syd:...Sydney want...um...Strawberry!*says strawberry in a way that's kinda hard to understand...due to child's talking*

nagi: *gulps* gomen....do you need anything? ~SCHULDIG!!~

schu: *wakes again* ~mein gott....what is it?~

farf: *understands it anyway...starts making the smoothie*

Em:*eyes start to change colors, as anger takes over almost to a point of rage, suddenly changes personalities, doesn't notice pain anymore, gets up and opens the door, chuckles maniacally*you're a pretty boy...why are you here?*has a feel of danger about her*

Syd:*hugs Farfie's leg*

nagi: *gulps again* anou.... ~*to schuldig* what happened to emerald-san yesterday?~

schu: ~oh...nothing much...brad just beat the crap out of her...~

Sunde:*chuckles, she gives chills to anyone who hears*Sunde's back. it's good to be out!
