Reggie was exploring the woods beside her family's new farm, yellow eyes bright and orange hair messy (as usual). She was walking beside a creek at the moment, black tennis shoes squelching in the squishy dirt and sand. She didn't see the girl a few feet ahead of her...

Reggie jumped a bit when she heard a noise. Wait, was that a girl? She raised her eyebrows, and put her hair up in a ponytail with the hairband that was on her wrist. "Hey! Come back!" Reggie called curiously after her.

Reggie realized quickly (due to experience with animals) that she was scaring the girl. Very slowly, she lowered herself into a sitting position, hands on her knees. In a calm and comforting voice she said quietly; "It's okay..! I won't hurt you... I promise!"

Originally Posted by Dyna Fox (Post 1390934) "w-who are you?" the girl whispered as only her head now was above the water, her long dark green hair twirling in the current around her... this person said they wouldn't hurt her... but the girl knew better then to jump to the conclusion they where harmless

"I'm Reggie." She said, in the same cool voice. "I live past the forest. Who are you...?" Reggie asked curiously, tilting her head.

Originally Posted by Dyna Fox (Post 1390940) "i'm of the water folk" the girl whispered softly "your kind... they would call use Nymphs..." she replied softly, her silver eyes flashing in question...

Reggie raised her eyebrows. "Really..? You're a nymph?"

Originally Posted by Dyna Fox (Post 1390944) "why else would one live in the water if they are not of the water folk?" she replied in curiousity... "i'm not a mermaid... though i think i have a cousin that is one?" she put a finger to her chin as she thought... "yes... mom had said Mer was a Mermaid... that was why she was named Mer..."

Reggie nodded slowly. So she wouldn't be the only magic one living around here after all... Then, she started to smile. "That's so cool!"

Originally Posted by Dyna Fox (Post 1390952) She flinched at that "cool... i suppose that it is..." the girl started to come walk ashore, but as she did her skin seemed to turn completely pale tan without the mint green tint...

Reggie smiled. "So, do you have a name? I already told you mine." She chirped, once again using a soft tone.

Originally Posted by Dyna Fox (Post 1390955) she tilted her head 'name?... no... the water folks have names for kin but not for individuals of their kind... we called our mermaid cousins Mer... the Druids the Dri... and so on..." the girl said, looking down as her hair tickled her feet as she stood on the shore... strange torn clothes...

Reggie stroked her imaginary beard for a moment. "I'll call you Haruka. I mean, if you're fine with it...? I could totally call you something else if you want.""

Originally Posted by Dyna Fox (Post 1390964) "Haruka..." the girl replied tilting her head as she repeated the name a few times "Haruka is fine... Reggie." she said offering a small smile

Reggie grinned, and stood up. "So, are we friends now?"

Originally Posted by Dyna Fox (Post 1390988) "friends?" Haruka tilted her head "that we are i think" she said softly with a nod as she held out her hand "nice to meet you Reggie"

Reggie gladly took Haruka's hand, and giggled. "Hey, i have a question..." She said, smile fading slightly. "Why were you here all alone?"

"Im so sorry!" Reggie said with a gasp, patting Haruka's hand. "If you want you can live on my family's farm? They're really nice!"

Originally Posted by Dyna Fox (Post 1390999) "i..." she started off nervously "i can't get wet if i go with you... i can live on land but if i return to the water i won't be able to return to land for 7 years" she warned gently, silently agreeing to go with the girl

Reggie was quiet for a moment. "We can make that work."

Reggie smiled. "So, wanna go to the farm now?"

Originally Posted by Dyna Fox (Post 1391211) "s-sure" Haruk replied softly with a smile

Reggie took her hand, and ran back in the direction of her family's farm.

Originally Posted by Dyna Fox (Post 1391258) "w-whats that?" Haruka Asked at the sound of barking

"Oh, that's just Jess, our farm dog. She's an Austrailian Shephard!" Reggie said passionately.

Originally Posted by Dyna Fox (Post 1391265) "austrailan?" Haruka said softly "are they fluffy?"

Reggie nodded. She stepped out of the trees, and ahead of the two was a large red barn, a white farm-house, and a large field that was fenced in. There was also a filed of crops. The animals were spread between different pens, and there was a large fluffy dog running around, barking.

Reggie giggled. "C'mon, my parents are inside."

Originally Posted by Dyna Fox (Post 1391285) "okie dokie. by sheepies" she waved at the sheep before following her new friend

Reggie opened the door of the white house, and stepped inside. "Mooooommmm!" She called.

Originally Posted by Dyna Fox (Post 1391306) *thats loud* Haruka thought as the girl started to yell for their mom... honestly though, this place was pretty cool...

A woman came running down the stairs. She had blonde hair in a messy bun, and wore a flannel shirt and jeans. She had blue eyes. "What is it sweetie-" She stopped when she saw Haruka. "Who's this?" SHe asked sweetly. "That's my new friend, Haruka." Reggie explained. "Can she stay with us? We can share my room!" She insisted. Reggie's mom thought for a moment, and then said. "Okay."
