Ever go to those family reunions where people come up to you and tell you things like, "I remember when you were THIS small!" and make the hand gestures. You would smile and say something back to them along the lines of, "Thanks it's good to see you too.." or something else. But in the back of your mind be screaming "...who the hell are you?" Or just meeting new people in general. You don't exactly want to meet them, but at the same time you look forward to it with a burning passion. How is it that people seem to be one of the most confusing things out there? Why is there something different, something new to each person?

As she kept dragging me down the hall this time holding my wrist I hoped my face was not red with slight embarrassment.

"How long has it been since you've seen Toro, Ash?" Murt asked following behind.

"Before the last show actually, he came down and wished me good luck." She replied slowing down a bit and letting go.

Rubbing my wrist I looked around wondering just how big this building was. Did it extend deep into the ground? Or was it just my imagination? "Where are we going...asides from seeing Toro?" I asked catching my breath and looking around.

"Section 76B." Ash replied walking over to an elevator. "That's where Toro is."

"Who...exactly is Toro?" I asked once more full on confusion.

"Freaking amazing!" Murt burst out. "Do you KNOW what he's accomplished!"

I looked at him as he realized what he had said knowing that of course I hadn't known. "People who live in a far off village know of only the people of the village and anyone who comes in or leaves. Word travels fast but not far. Before I came here I didn't even know what a circus was now of course I wouldn't know of someone named...Toro." I sighed stepping into the cramped elevator pushed next to Ash, once more hoping my face wasn't red.

Murt shoved himself in looking up, "You know if what?"

"What?" Ash and I asked at the same time.

"You two..." He started.

I gulped and tried to wipe my forehead only to find that if my hand were to move it would most likely end up touching, brushing against, something to her body and I didn't feel like taking the chance of that happening so my hand remained at my waist. Fidgiting. Twitching as it felt sweat was starting to form on my forehead.

"You two what?" She asked.

Murt blinked and looked at both of us once more, "...nevermind...forgot what I was going to say.

As the elevator halted to a stop, it shook and forced us to all move around, falling...for however far you could fall in such a small space. Her face pressed against my chest and one hand grasping my sleeve I now knew my face was red and the feeling of numbness had now reached my toes, slowly moving upward. She quickly let go as she realized where she was and stood up straight smiling at me, "Sorry bout that, these elevators aren't all that smooth."

The doors opened, "I...I didn't mind, it's okay."

She stepped out smiling, "Good then."

"Definatly...didn't mind." I sighed with a slight melting sensation rushing through my body.

"GAHHH!" Murt's yelled.

Ash walked up next to him, "What?"

"He's out..." he said falling over and curling into a ball.

I nudged him with my foot, "Um...Murt?"

Ash opened the door and pushed a curtain aside walking into the room, "Weird."

"What?" I asked peering in after her.

"Everything."
