Today was the day. Not only was it the Flower dance but it was also the day her and Sebastian were to hang out. If he hadn't agreed to it she would have just went to the mine. That or spend the day fishing since she got a fishing pole from Willy. But she was glad she could do something that didn't involve work. This also may give her the chance to order her DJ equipment. She had enough money to order them but since she took out all the money out of her account she couldnt order it herself.

Aria was cleaning out the chicken coop. She was taking out the old hay and putting in new. Her babies as she called them followed her still even though they were getting bigger. Aria sighed 'once a mama. Always a mama.' She thought to herself. Her thoughts were interrupted by hearing a knock behind her.

When she turned around she saw Sebastian standing in the doorway. "Hey I'm almost done." She told him. Sebastian nodded at her "you're fine. Take your time I'm not in a hurry." He told her just as he felt something tug on hiz shoe. When he looked down he saw one of the ducklings attacking one of his shoelaces. "Hey Aria one of your kids is attacking my shoelace." He said.

Aria looked over and saw Darling attacking Sebastian's shoelace. Aria laughed at the sight before walking over to Darling and picking her up. She sat comfortably in Aria's arms. "Sorry about that Darling is one of the more rambunctious ones." She said. Sebastian chuckled as he watched her set the duckling down and walked away trying to finish her work while the ducklings and chicks followed suit.

He had to admit seeing her being the mother hen of the group was kind of cute. "So whats the plan today?" Aria asked him. He snapped back to reality "huh? Oh um I figured we go for a walk." He replied. Aria smiled "ok. Your mom is going to be starting the shed tomorrow." She said.

Sebastian looked at her remembering what she was going to use it for. "So have you thought anymore about joining the band?" He asked. Aria nodded "I have thought about it some. I want to show you what I can do before I make my decision." She replied.

Aria quickly finished the chicken coop and decided to check on her calf, lamb, kid, and piglet. She had just got them yesterday so they are still pretty young. Sebastian couldnt believe how well shes done with everything. Then again look who her grandfather was.

He stood there watching her gently pet each of the animals. She was so gentle with them. "Ok everything is good. I just need to get cleaned up and then we can go." She told him. Sebastian blinked "ok. No hurry." He told her.

Aria smiled as they made their way back to her house. Sebastian sat down at her table while he waited for her to get cleaned up. Dusty who was sleeping on her bed recognized his scent and came over to him putting her front paws on his leg. Sebastian picked her up and began petting her.

He could hear Aria from the other side of the door. Abby was definitely right. Aria's voice was something else. Aria dried her hair as much as she possibly could after taking a quick shower. She put on some makeup. She sprayed a little perfume on as she got dressed. She noticed her bruises were now about gone.

She decided not to put makeup on them this time around. Sebastian already knew about them and if anyone else seen them she would just say she was clumsy. She opened the bathroom door to find Sebastian on the floor playing with Dusty making Aria giggle.

"Having fun?" She asked as she walked towards him. He looked up at her and smiled sheepishly "yeah you ready?" He asked her. Aria nodded as she hooked up Dusty's leash to her collar before they walked out the door. Sebastian noticed she didnt try to cover the bruises up. Granted they were almost gone but it still suprised him.

They walked in silence for a bit until Aria spoke. "So what do you do work wise?" She asked. Sebastian looked at her as they walked "I'm a freelance programmer." He told her. "I can only imagine how complicated that can be." She replied.

Sebastian took out a cigarette and lit it. "Finally someone who takes me seriously. Everyone else just thinks I search the internet all day." He told her. Aria could relate to that with her music. She was also told it was a waste of time. "I get it I really do. They said the same to me with my music." She told him. They walked to beach. It was such a nice day. It wasnt too hot or too cold. There was a slight breeze going. It was comfortable.

Aria took her shoes and socks off feeling the sand between her toes. She loved this it was so relaxing. "So you have a boyfriend?" He asked. Aria laughed "No and right now I'm glad. I was in a relationship, but he turned out to be a lying, cheating, abusive jackass." She told him. Sebastian figured it was something like that. "What about you you have a girlfriend?" She asked.

Sebastian took a drag off his cigarette and exhaled "Nah I dont plan on staying here much longer. I'm going to move to the city soon and get away from this place." He stated. Aria looked down "oh well that's a shame you leaving that is. What are Sam, Abby, and I going to do without you?" She asked.

Sebastian smirked as he ran fingers through his hair "ehh you'll survive. As for the relationship part is concerned. I just never met anyone that caught my eye. If I did I would be staying here." He told her. Aria walked past him and sat down in the sand just close enough to where the waves came up. "What a shame." She mumbled loud enough for him to hear.

Aria watched Dusty chase the water as it retreated back into the ocean only to bark at it when it came back. Sebastian finally joined Aria on the sand. "So how many hoodies do you own? You're always wearing one dont you get hot?" She asked.

Sebastian laughed "not really summer is normally when I don't wear one if I'm outside that is." He stated. Aria shook her head "Sebastian you are one weird guy." She said. Sebastian gave Aria a light shove "you can call me Seb if you want Abby and Sam do it all the time." He told her. Aria nodded as she returned the shove back at him. She would have to remember that.
