Welcome to Gaia! ::

~People He May Mention~

Don Juan Long: My father. He's pretty great I guess, but his expectations are so high I just have no clue. HE thinks I'll be great like him. I just want to settle down with a girl.

Jyn Gostein: He's my uncle from my mom's side. I never knew my mom, but my uncle Jyn's been trying his best to 'fill that hole.' He's got no hole to fill; I'm fine. Still, he's a pretty alright guy even if he IS creepy and gay.

Ace Kovacs: How does he get all the women?! I don't understand it; they just fall for him left and right and I'm lucky if I don't get slapped. Guru teach me your ways! ;A; If its being an arsonist and a bomber that gets him the ladies I'm not sure how I can compete with that. Damn b*****d. We work together at this cafe our gang leader runs.

Loki Yuuga: Second-in-command of the gang I'm in called the 'Silver gang.' I don't know what this guy is but he can fool anyone into thinking he's an ally. Guess that's why he's kinda like the secret agent. Even so... This guy is a freak.

Jacob: Leader of the 'Silver gang' and owner of the 'Silver Cafe.' Guy has a hard-on for that color, I guess. He's not easy to read, but I'm pretty sure he's pure evil.

Bruce: My best man, my buddy. We've been friends forever, and he always has my back... Even if he treats me like an idiot sometimes. He loves surfing and has a hilarious fear of ants.

James: My other best man. I met him a few years after Brady. He's quiet but really smart, and he can put his foot down when Bruce and I... Kinda get into a little trouble. Or a lot of trouble. He's the guru trouble-fixer.

Clayton Long: My cousin. My dad's brother's kid. He's from the OTHER gang; the 'Underdogs.' He's bi-polar as Hell and one minute he's just annoying, the other minute he's trying to kill me. I don't understand the guy and I just keep him out of my life best as I can. But we're still family.

Luca Jacobson: I. LOATHE. THIS. PERSON. He's creepy gay and just grosses me out. He's the very everything that I hate about anything. He's also my cousin's best friend.

Nathan: He's gay too, but I don't really notice that much. He's nice to hang out with and if it wasn't for 'being with' Luca, I think we'd get along really well. We play sports together sometimes.

Irene Cosgrowe: She's the sister of the 'Underdog' gang leader. Even if she's from the 'other side,' she is pretty hot. If Conner wouldn't kill me I would hve made my move a long time ago.

Tilly: My crazy aunt; Clayton's mom. I don't know what this woman takes for her crazy medication... She's funny, though. And embarrasses Clayton all the time, which I like.

Danny Long: My uncle Danny is a farmer with a need to be proper. If you ask me, he and my dad are different as night and day. MY dad is clearly the cooler one though.

Rose Severins: She's kind of in the 'Silver Gang' and kind of not. Though she's smokin' hot, she NEVER has relationships. I suspect she might be a whore.

Conner Cosgrowe: LEader of the 'Underdog' gang. Other than Jacob having pure hatred for the guy, I really don't see what the big deal is.

William Voll: Conner's Guard dog. Seriously; he's three inches TALLER than me and all muscle! Not to mention the scars; this guy is terrifying. And I've seen him chug vodka.

Skylar Harding: MY favorite homework-doing nerd. I don't care how snappy he gets, if I can get away with it, I pick on him most. Call it what you will, but he's pretty good entertainment. Have to make sure Jacob doesn't figure it out, though. I think the boss has a soft-spot for this weasel... Though I can't figure out why.

Trixie, Alfonso and Christoph: What IS this chick's problem?! She KNOWS Christoph is the tallest man alive and Alfonso the richest; and they both like to trample me when they see her near me. So why does she keep LOOKING for me? Stop it, go away, I don't need another meeting from your little two-man posse. If she wasn't so cute, I'd be even madder.

"Okay, there." Brady looked around at the room, his smile broadening, absolutely pleased with himself. "It doesn't look half bad! I'm gonna keep this room clean, too. I'll be organized and get all my work done... And now that I'm done fooling myself I'm gonna munch on a worm." Brady opened up a new bag of gummi worms and raised his worm to the sky. Jeez, the ceiling was so high Brady could stretch his whole arm up. Sure he could still touch it, but at least he didn't have to worry about whacking his hand unless he stood on tiptoes.

"To my new room! I'm gonna dominate this place and get my dad off my back!" Though not so loud he added, "And maybe find a special lady." He wasn't blind; he noticed all the long-haired beauties around. He was a frog in a big pond, and he was gonna snag himself a fish... Or something like that.

After he placed the worm half into his mouth, he heard something under his door. "Ngh, a letter," his slightly muffled voice mused. Who would be giving him a letter? He picked it up and looked it over. Once he opened it, he saw the words:

Congratulations

"Ngh, yes! I passed!" Brady shouted, "Must have really impressed that mentor. I bet she's real into me... IF she wasn't so old I might have considered it," Brady muttered, puffing up his chest in pride. Oh yeah, he was a ladies-man. Maybe he got roped into a lot of crap at home, but not here! He was going to be the guy everyone wanted. That's right, he was going to be the 'Mr. Ace Kovacs*' of THIS Academy.

And now he was one step closer.

Brady took out another worm and raised it to the air again. "To a new start! Just you wait, Its about time I had some good luck come my way!" Brady popped the worm in his mouth and almost choked on it.

Brady coughed it up and continued to cough for a while, and he ended up sitting on his bed. Good thing no one saw that.

Brady woke up a few hours later, and he stretched, feeling a lot more energized and ready for the rest of the day. He wondered if there were other classes going on right now. Well anyway, he figured he would see if either of those girls was still at the cafeteria. If he wasn't so tired before, he would have totally taken them to his room. How could he have been so dumb; he was on a roll! Why didn't he take them to his room? Something could have happened!

Hetting up and freshening up, Brady rushed toward the cafeteria again, hoping he'd find one of those girls.

Brady was indeed sleeping, his body curled up to his little giraffe plushie. He woke up a little before but fell back asleep, liking the dream he was having too much. 'Celestria... Aw man, she's totally into me. I can't believe a girl that amazing and pretty is into me.' He loved her kisses, her long hair, her tiny body that he could pick up, how she got really excited sometimes, just everything. He imagined what their kids would look like. A girl, of course. He always wanted a little girl. Or a boy; a dashing, energetic healthy boy. Or both, why not? Twins. What would Celestria think if she knew he was thinking about them having kids? Brady tried to make him remember that his thoughts were his own, and he could think whatever he wanted. He just had to make sure he didn't scare Celestria away. 'Go slow this time Brady. Let her set the pace, remember what Bruce said...'

THUMP

"OKAY!" Brady found himself sitting straight up in his bed, holding the giraffe plushie under one arm, and the next thing he thought was 'okay?' OF all the things he shouted out in his life... 'Okay?' What time was it?... Just after noon? Well, it was about the time he'd wake up anyway. But what was that thump?

He was sure to hide his giraffe plushie in the closet, but answered the door in his orange giraffe-print pajamas. He rubbed his eyes and yawned, looking around until his eyes rested on Celestria, right next to his door.

"Oh, Celestria, hey! Good morning, how are you?"

"...Yeah! Oh yeah, sure, I'd love that. Its alright, I don't mind the morning call. I'd never wake up otherwise, uh..." Brady looked down at his pajamas and he looked... Pretty embarrassed. "Gotta change. Er, wanna come in? I mean..." He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do; leave her outside while he changed? Just go in his pajamas? Let her inside and change in front of her? He was pasty under his clothes, which was embarrassing. But who knew, maybe she'd like what she saw? He was at least well endowed... Yeah, that wouldn't scare her off at all.

"Uh, I'll just be a sec, then I'll let you in and then we can go to eat?" He said, putting a question mark at the end, not knowing if it was the right answer.

((Put them together and they've got a pretty good past. XP Man, its scary how good these two are together. Poor Brady has no clue what to do. ))

Brady closed the door to his room and went right to the heart medication. After taking his pill, he started to get undressed. Once he got to his boxers, he looked at his giraffe pajamas and sighed. He really didn't feel like putting them on.

Going to the bed, he noticed the sheets were colder on his bare skin. It was kinda nice. He went looking for his giraffe, and sighed when he had to get up to retrieve him from the closet. "Sorry about that, Tough Guy," he muttered to his giraffe, going back into the bed and hugging his giraffe close. "I messed up again. Guess you're the only one I'll ever cuddle up to at night, buddy." He yawned and buried his face into his pillow and the giraffe. "I'm such an idiot," his muffled voice whispered as he started drifting into sleep.
