Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aiden glanced from stall to stall, tennis shoes scuffling against the slightly wet cement. Citrus had somehow pulled him out of bed, obviously cheating with her fairy magic. At first he wasn't very enthusiastic about waking up in the morning and walking around all day spending hard earned money. But as he walked past each stall, he got more and more interested. None of them immediately caught his eye, but he would definately have to try them out later. He was near the end of the line of stalls when he stopped infront of one. With perked ears, he listened to the girls shouting out loud. They all had animal ear headbands. Aiden grinned, tail twitching smugly. He didn't have to wear a head band to have animal ears. He finally looked up at the sign, reading "Stuffed With Love." The immediate thought that came to mind was that Citrus would love this. Stepping forward, he picked up a limp cat plushie, bviously not stuffed with cotton yet. It stared up at him with large eyes, it's black whiskers contrasting against it's white, silken fur. Aiden set it down gently, browsing through the other selections. There were dog plushies to wild Ria creature plushies. This shop would definately make cheery little Citrus happy. Atleast, Aiden hoped it would. One of them better get something fun out of this. Though, he was looking forward to all the food.

Aiden felt Citrus plop onto his head, gripping onto his ear and nipping it lightly. He squeaked, shaking his head lightly so Citrus wouldn't go flying. His ears were very sensitive to touch, and also very ticklish. "Citrus~, you know my ears are ticklish." he huffed, rubbing his ear a bit roughly to rid it of that previous sensation. He shook his head once more to put his baby blue hair back in place, glancing towards Citrus on his shoulder. HHe noticed her line of stare, following it to the little red fox withe white tipped paws and tail. Aiden grinned, a fang portuding from his lips. "I dunno, I kind of like foxes. You can take the kitty and I'll pick the fox." he said in a teasing tone, reaching out for the fox. It definately was cute, but Aiden still found the kitty attracting his attention more. He grabbed both of them, holding the fox out to Citrus. "Think you can carry it, Citrus?" he asked, brow quirked with interest. Aiden always liked watching Citrus do things. Like him, she liked to do things on her own, especially things that humans could do so easily. But without even waiting for her reply, Aiden walked the few steps over to the shelves filled with small clothes. "Hey Citrus, you could go shopping here." he teased, grinning playfully. Even if he did make fun of her size, he liked her size and light weight. It made it easier to carry her around and gave him attention from everyone to have a fairy sitting on his shoulder or fluttering around beside him. But what he liked most was her company. They did argue alot, but they were definately best friends.

Aiden blinked, glancing down towards Citrus. She'd been acting very strange lately, but he was still pretending not to notice. He gripped the limp kitty toy in his left hand, glancing around the shelves for any interesting clothing. He looked down at Citrus with furrowed brows, dusty blue eyes sparkling in a pout. "Atleast I'm tall enough to climb onto the bed on my own." he snapped, ears swiveling backwards onto his head for a moment before returning to their slightly perked position. He pulled a black t-shirt off the shelf, looking on the front to see three cats walking across the front. Aiden sighed, figuring it was the best thing to use for a cat. He glanced towards Citrus, who was still climbing among the shelves. "Done yet, Citrus?" he asked, grinning widely to show his slightly pointed fangs and sharp teeth. He waited a few moments longer for her to pick out some clothes that were good enough for her fox. He reached forward, gently gripping her by the waist as e lifted her up and onto his shoulder. He did find himself helping her alot, against her will, but he knew that she really needed aid every once in a while. Plus he just liked getting her mad, helping her on purpose just to get her angry. She was adorable whenshe yelled in her squeaky little voice. Aiden walked towards the area where they stuff the animals. There was a large bowl of cloth hearts that were barely stuffed, giving them a small and slightly round appearance. Aiden seemed to already know where to go, but some could've easily guesed where to go next. Aiden glnaced towards Citrus one more time, making sure that she was alright. Her strange behavior could mean she was sick. But Aiden was just dense and couldn't see anything for what it really was.

((*interrupts*... also, I'm assuming it's morning.))

Aiko noticed the two wander past the shop. She had only met one of the members recently, Bijou, but they were already friends. Aiko seemed to be like that. She looked at the two who were now searching through the animal clothes and examined them. One was a neko. He seemed to smirk when he saw Aibon and Nono shouting with their headbands. The first thing she noticed was his hair colour. It was very... odd. Though Aiko had no room to talk, as her hair was extremely odd, too. She looked at the other two.

The girl was very short. Much shorter than Aiko. Maybe 1/15th or 20th of Aiko's size, and her hair was bright yellow, especially in the morning sunlight. Plus the girl had a pleasant aroma surrounding her. It smelled like a mix of persimmons and lemon.

She hummed a song, not any song in particular, just a few splices of melodies from her favourite songs, and then looked down at the two people. "Can I help you two?"

Bijou, who was busy moving cotton from the large bags into the machine, and removing any seeds and kernels she saw, turned around as she heard her new friend Aiko's voice. They were already almost best friends, even if they had only seen each other twice. Then she turned to the two girls who were shouting, and the one girl who looked slightly confused about what she was doing. All three were friends of Aiko. What were their names..? Wendy... Aibon and Nono? The last two seemed strange, but what could you expect, even for Ria? She continued with her busy work. The man who they rented the machine from said it needed constant attention.

Aiko nodded. She was used to people being shy around her. But usually for other reasons. She didn't expect that he knew her from Morning Musume or any of that stuff. She slid her headband back into place and then straightened out her apron. She stepped off of the wooden step that led to the inside of the booth and looked into the wardrobe. "What kind of clothes would you like your animals to wear? You also get two additional outfits with the purchase of two animals (so, like, two outfits per animal)" she said, noticing that both the neko and the fairy were holding a shell.　She looked at the clothes available in the wardrobe. She grabbed out a few that she liked, one of them being orange overalls with pictures of various fruits on it. Underneath was a white T-shirt, but she liked the overalls, and if she were small enough, she would wear them.

She smiled at the fairy, and then at the neko-boy. She would eventually end up friends with these two, somehow.

Ding daling-ling-ling. Ding daling-ling-ling. After finally realizing the boring ring tone was coming from her phone, Kassy swiftly flipped it open, her thumbnail being lightly chewed on as her eyes read across the screen. Suddenly having an excuse to roam around and do something, Kassy mouthed the word 'Muahahaha~' triumphantly and began to bounce off in the goal of rescuing Wendy. "LADEEDADEDAAAAA" Why did Kassy find it so amusing to sing made up words as she walked around? Hmm, probably because silence scared her. In scaring movies bad things always happened when there was total silence. Or when the music got louder....Wait then it wouldn't be silent? WELL IT WAS SILENT IN THE ACTUALLY MOVIE...plot thing. It wasn't like the actors could hear the background music..OMG MAYBE THEY COULD *O*. I should stop talking to myself. I mean thinking to myself....... Yeaaaah. OMG STOP IT DD<

Finally catching site of Wendy, Kassy jumped up slightly and made an O shape with her mouth. Target spotted~ Being the sneaky girl she was, Kassy decided to kidnap Wendy, rather then rescue her. Following the oh-so-quiet shuffling, Kassy wrapped her arms around Wendy's shoulders and neck and began dragging her off, proclaiming. "NUUU. Don't struggle! THIS WILL ALL HAPPEN SO MUCH QUICKER IF YOU STAY CALM" Her voice was dramatic and loud. Kassy even managed a fake sniffle and sigh at the end. "SO SAAAD"

Kassy fumbled backwards as Wendy decided to flail, she was already clumsy enough without Wendy's sudden movement mixed in. It was expected though, seeing as she was the one that purposely caused the little incident. "OWWIE. You hit my nose!" After being shoved aside, Kassy quickly rubbed her nose, emphasizing the fact that Wendy had hurt it. Then, for some odd reason, she made an O shape with her thumb and index finger and placed it around her nose. It was a strange habit she picked up when she first realized that the common circle she made with her fingers fit perfectly around that Irish feature.

Quickly realizing what she was doing, Kassy swung her hands behind her back and gave a goofy grin. "Hmm? OMG RIANS?!" Oddly enough there was a hit of sarcasm in her voice. It was only there to display dramatic enthusiasm. "Yes, Rians are good, of course! But wouldn't it be more fun to accidentally stumble upon them, CREATING AN ELLIMENT OF SURPRISE?!"Suddenly gasping, Kassy latched onto Wendy's arm and slowly dragged her off. "YES, THAT IS WHAT WE'RE DOING~ But first, I'm hungry *3*"
