Call Me Insane and Say You Love Me;; [Ivy]

[Bob The Unnamed]

A giggle.
The click of a key.
The sound of a ride's music.
Another giggle.
You'd jsut come here to get high and (or) drunk. Could someone else have stolen your plan?
Or were they just insane enough to be out here in the cold?
I hope you picked number two. Because if you said number one you were wrong. The owner of this giggle didn't drink or use drugs. She only got high on life, and only allowed Red Bull to give her wings.
You stepped closer, wanting to know what made that sound.
What in hell's name was that?
As you walked closer you became more sure. Yes, there is was, could you be sure. It looked like the merry-go-round was turned on though the rest of the park was dark and closed. The lihts blinked in a dim sort of depressing way against the sleet and rain.
She sat atop her pink painted pony, who was forever stuck in a high stepping trot, ear almost painfully forward in an alert way.
Her soft voice mixed strangly against the music of this band of painted ponies. Lyrics rolled off her tounge.
What goes up
must come down
spinning wheel
got to go around
talkin' 'bout your troubles
it's a cryin' sin
ride a painted pony
let the spinning wheel spin

You got no money
you got no home
spinning wheel
all al lone
talkin' 'bout your troubles and you,
you never learn
Ride a painted pony
let the spinning wheel turn

Did you find
your directing sign
on the straight and narrow highway

Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine
within your mind
and show you, the colors
that are real

Someone's waiting
just for you
spinning wheel,
spinning true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
ride a painted pony
let the spinning wheel fly

As she sang she swung around the gold poll that ran though the pony. Ending her oldies song she sat sideays and watched from the covered area of her racing herd of painted ponies.
You're most likly wondering how in the hell she got this thing to work. I'll tell you-- it's a secret. Well, you look pretty honest so I'll share it with you. If you promise not to tell.
Last year, her first year in this place she had looked for an escape within this escape. She'd looked every where. And this was her place of choice. No one ever was around, and it was beautiful. On one of her trips to her escpae within escape, after a fair she had found this abandoned key laying on the ground.
She's tried it to all the rides, and found it fit to only one-- the merry-go-round.
So this walking, trotting, cantering, galloping ground of multi-colored painted ponies had become hers.
The crazy girl with dredlocsk like Cap't jack Sparrow.
Yep-- she owned them.

Ada trudged silently, lost in her own thoughts. She trusted her feet to take to where she wanted to go. However, when she got there, there was somone else. Ada stopped and stared at this girl. Who was she? Whoever she was, she had stolen Ada's spot. Ada had discovered this place a few days ago, when she first came here. Of course, she hadn't been able to turn on the rides, much less the merry-go-round. "Be reasonable." she muttured to herself "you can share, can't you?"

The truth is, Ada doesnt like to share. She should, but she doesn't. Sharing. With a sigh, she realized she had no choice. Besides, what's wrong with sharing? Nothing. Maybe you'll even make a new friend. Ada walked a little closer, eyes still focused on the girl. She had heard her name before. Ivy. Yes, that was it. Ada walked all the way to the merry-go-round now. She stopped just in front of it, hesitant to say anything. Finally, she said , very quietly mind you, "Umm, hello. My name is Ada. Can I join you? love this place, don't you? I love that song you were singing." and then proceeded to tur right red. She felt herself burning up and thought "stupid cheeks! Please dont turn red! Nothing to be embarrased about!"

[Bob The Unnamed]

"M'name's Ivy." She said in a slow singsong voice. The rest of her answer was caught up by the cold wind as she was forced along to run with her ponies.
On the second rotation past the girl, Ada, Ivy finished her answers. They seened to link together she spoke them so fast, not wanting to be taken away before giving the girl all her answers.
"Yesofcourseyoumayjoinmylovvie." breath "Yeahthisplaceisbeautiful." breath "Ijustrememberedit.Youknowwhenyougottasingyougottasing" laugh.
Once finished she spred herself over her pink panted pony. Which, if I have not mentioned before, had been nick named Pink Lady (or Pinky) by Ivy. Her leg swung up onto the one next to her, to her left, seeing as Pink Lady was on the middle row. Ivy now rested her leg on the rump of a galloping stallion, polished a cracking black from age, ears resting forever in an angry position, mouth always poised to bite, nostrils forever open with pink insides gasping for breath on his tirless run.
His name was Bunny. Ivy had the idea that inside he was just scared and needed some love.
With her right hand she motioned towards the pony diagonal from Pink, on the inside rotation. He was a wonderful type of pony. Created to look like a sea horse, swirled with all the wonderful colors of blue. Tail of a sea horse, front of a horse always poised in a rear. This name was Fi. Which she had shortened from Fishy, because she didn't want to seem like she was making fun of him. Her hand out reached towards Fi, she meant for the girl to sit. Watching the other a small smile graced her lips, then she closed her mouth and hummed another little tune.

Laughing, Ada jumped on. She stumbled a bit before she caught her balance. She sat on the horse which Ivy had gestured to. So now, what to say, what to say. The awkward silence washed around her, and she racked her minds for something to say. "It's cold." suddenly came from her lips. She looked down, embarassed once again. Duh, it's cold, genius, came her thoughts. Is that all you have to say? "I mean like, I'm not very used to it. I lived in florida untill now." she added sheepishly.

She laughed to herself, but the smile vanished from her face as she thought about why she left in th first place. Tears came to her eyes, and she tried to hold them back. Without sucsess, she gave in. She didn't feel as stupid as she would have if she were crying infront of someone else. Somehow, it was alright to cry in front of Ivy. But she still had to stop. She didn't want to be known as the crybaby, the emotional wreck, everything that people called her at home, among a few others.

[Bob The Unnamed]

Oh it is? She questioned, looking around "I didn't notice."
Maybe she really was insane. As the girl started to cry Ivy stood and walked towards her, leaning against Fi she put a small hand on the girls shoulder.
"I didn't live anywhere. When my father died..." she took a sharp breath "All he left me was the world. So That's where I live."
After these few whispered words she dissappeared from veiw, darting to what seemed to be the inside of the merry-go-round. She returned with a bag. It wasn't a HUGE bag, but it was a good sized bag.
Ivy said that her pruse carried her life. And that was true. Digging within it's confines she pulled a bag of dove valentines chocolate from it...
Opening the bag she pulled a chocolate heart out, and peeled the foil away. The inside read the following::
Take a moonlit walk."
she read it slowly two times then balled it up and returned the trash to her purse, and held the bag of chocolate out for Ada.

Wiping away the tears, Ada took the chocolate. "Thanks. I'm sorry, I just, I dunno, when my dad left, us, everything went wrong. So, I just left it. The whole life. Everything." she said the last defiantly, as if she was reminding herself. Which, in a way, she was.
"Let's talk about something else though." Ada didn't like the focus to be on her so much. "Let's talk about, about..." Ada sighed, and looked up t Ivy. She grabbed another piece of chocolate, not bothering to look at the little message on the wrapper.
Ada sighed, enjoying the smooth chocolate on her tongue. She closed her eyes and leaned her head against the pole of the pony, finally realizing how tired she was. "I think I need to sleep. Can you show me where the Cougar apartments are?"

[Bob The Unnamed]

Ivy smiled, slowly unwrapping another chocolate she placed it definatly in her mouth before speaking in a muffled tone thought the sweet smooth goodness.
"They are pretty easily to find. Not to far from here." She started to motion with her hands where to turn and such. She herself didn't go by there to much. She was stationed in the Concrete Apartments You could call her poor, she just called herself happy.
Finishing the chocolate she flattened the foil on in her fingers this time. Not minding the message written inside, but rather making the foil as smooth as could be and weaving it through her small hands. Noticing Ada was with out a trash can, and that put her at a loss she crumped up her own foil and placed it in the palm of her hand.
"Trash, please."

[Meanii Jeanii Jellii Beanii]

Ada nodded, handed over her trash, and looked toward the apartments were. "Got it" was her answer.

Ada jumped off the merry-go-round, and once again it took her a while to find balance. She watched Ivy keep going around and around again and again. She kept staring at Ivy with a inquisitive look on her face. Ada shivered in the cold, and did a sort of dance to keep warm. She laughed, knowing she looked stupid, but kept going. Ada felt good. She felt as if she was breaking away from a mold. The old Ada no more. With going through her head she laughed again, so hard she fell to the ground.

"I must seem like a idiot to you. Crying one minute, laughing the next." Ada lay on the ground and caught her breath, turning her head so it faced Ivy.

[Bob The Unnamed]

Ivy gasped, jumping from her place between ponies.
"ARE YOU OHKAY?!" she jumped from the merry-go-round and darted towards the girl. As she ran towards Ada, she sliped, and fell on her own butt. Giggles turned to laughing.
"Goodness look at us." she said through laughs and gasps for air.
She looked around slightly dumbfounded, still giggling though trying to hold back.
"No really, are you ohkay?" she said though muffled giggles.

o.o.c : can you say musless?[/size]

[Meanii Jeanii Jellii Beanii]

"I'm fine." she declared between gasps of air.
Thinking it over she said. " Actually, I'm hungry. Come get something to eat with me?' She stood up, awaiting Ivy's answer.

o.o.c|| I can so say museless. Sorry for the short post.
