"Ohhhhh, please Foxy?"
"Ivy! I am shocked you would even bring up such a horrid idea!"
Zack's attention to the two women's conversation was blurring in and out. He was having little interesting in what Ivy was begging to do, as they drove. He was having much more fun teasing little Cloud. At the moment, the boys arms were crossed in disgust, shacking as he leaned his head on the partially opened window.
"But Cloudy, you must have kissed someone other then your mom!"
"Leave me be!"
"He is going to show you his breakfast if you don't such up soon Zack!" Ivy called back. She muttered something under her breath after, but it was to low for Zack to hear. Apparently Fox had, for Ivy soon let out a loud yelp, hand on the side of her face. "Witch!"
"Knock it off then!"
"whatever. Keep your blasted eyes on the road Red."
Zack shook his head, listening to the girls squabble. "what are you two TALKING about?"
"Just sit down and shut up, and if you're a good boy you'll not find out." Ivy teased. Zack had a frightful feeling that the whole conversation had been about some horrid even planned to befall him. Cloud snickered. Apparently he knew what the girls were speaking about.
"what?"
"Just…do as Ivy says." Cloud muttered, wrapping his arms tighter about his stomach. He looked a bit pale. Fox looked back at the boy, frowning.
"There's a town up here I'm going to stop at, it'd be good if you get out and walk around for a bit."
Cloud nodded, closing his bright eyes. Zack sighed, crossing his arms and settling back in his seat.
"So where do you live Ivy?"
"Town doesn't have a name I'm afraid. It isn't exactly a town."
Zack wrinkled up his nose. "then… what is it?"
Ivy shrugged. "I was told that back when the Cetra settled, there was once group of friends that wished not to settle with the others, in their clumps that became our towns. They moved away from the others, going to the forests between Gongaga and Junon."
Zack frowned. "I didn't realize there was a town there…"
"not many do. The trees tower far above the buildings, and their foliage is so thick and large that they cover the homes. The town gets very little light, so we rely on other towns for our food and crops and such. Don't get me wrong, a little light passes through the trees, but after noon it begins to become a very dark place."
"huh…What's it look like?"
"neat. Very neat and clean. All the time." Fox said, turning the car up to a mountain area. She opened the door and stepped out, stumbling on a rock.
"I'll just be a moment, alright? Cloud, get out and walk about for a moment if you'd like dear." With that, the red head stood and went towards the foot of the mountain. Cloud didn't get the chance to even open his door before Ivy turned about, and Zack grabbed Clouds arm.
"Well?"
"Zack, I swear, I'm going to be sick. Leave me be!"
Cloud tugged his arm from Zack's grip and kicked open his door. Breathing heavily, he let his feet hit the grass. Ivy shook her head. "Motion sickness. Awful, isn't it?"
Cloud looked over at her with weary eyes. "You've never had motion sickness, so how do you know what its like Ivs?"
Ivy laughed. "I'm trying to be somewhat sorry for you kid. So what was Zack pestering you about?"
"Ohhh, he wont tell me who his first crush was. Or his first kiss, or any of it."
Ivy glanced at Zack through the mirror. "What the hell do you want to know for?"
"My question exactly. I think you cuffed him one to many times." Cloud muttered. Ivy grinned. Zack, though, glared.
"I wish to know so I can forever tease him. The punk bunnies aren't working any longer."
Cloud glared, and Zack knew if the boy had been feeling like himself, Zack would have had a Cloud attached to his neck like a tie.
" Blasted kid claims he's never had a first kiss." Zack muttered. Ivy snickered.
"Oh, it was most likely someone we know, right Zackie?"
"right Ivs."
"Foxy perhaps?"
"Yes. Quite a looker that woman. Oh! Cloudy is turning pink!"
"Shuddup!" Cloud snapped. Ivy and Zack snickered and giggled between themselves. Cloud glared bitterly back at them. When he say Fox, he was more then egger for her to get in the car.
"So…Was Fox really your first kiss Cloud?"
Cloud slammed his door, and pounced on Zack. Fox gave them both an odd look ,and snapped at them to buckle up as she backed the truck up. The two obeyed with bitter looks. Zack's soon faded and the boy grinned evilly.
"It wassss, wasn't it?" he asked.
"I told you, I don't have a first kiss, so leave me be-"
Suddenly Ivy was half in the back seat. Cloud had been pulled to her, lips pressed to her own. Zack's mouth had dropped open. Apparently Cloud was as stunned at Zack, for he didn't have the wits to pull away. Fox would have surly slapped Ivy if she could, but she was more intent on staying on the road. Ivy let go of Cloud, grinning evilly. "There Cloudy, now you have been spared utter embarrassment, heart break, and shut Mr. Flame up. Hopefully, at least… But what are the chances of that."
Cloud looked like a cherry. Ivy looked un affected, and turned back in her seat. Suddenly Zack was snapped out of his stare, aware that he would beginning to drool soon, then there was a sound of hand meeting head, followed closely by Ivy's yelp. Zack suddenly burst into fits of insane giggles. Cloud began to scream, grabbing hold of any piece of Zack he could, trying terribly hard to get him to shut up. If it were possibly, Cloud turned even redder. Fox seemed to be the only one truly sane in the truck.
