The afternoon sky was only just beginning to overcast when Shay pulled into the driveway at the Xavier Institute. She felt a little uncomfortable being there, considering the majority of other times she had been were to prank most of the students who lived there. Most of them. "Maybe I should call her to see if she's even in," murmured Shay to herself, parking the car and drawing out her cell phone. She hadn't heard from Samantha in awhile so she really couldn't be sure whether she'd be inside on a day like today or if she had gotten out early when it was nicer. "We'll just have to find out," she said, pressing the phone to her ear as it began to ring. |

(I picked a really freaking good day to check in on here, huh? It's been so long!) Samantha was laying on the couch, watching TV, being completely and utterly bored. There was nothing to do, Seamus was out, and she was stuck inside without a car. She jumped when her phone rang, having been lost in her thoughts. She pulled it out of her pocket. Her eyebrows rose when she saw who it was. "Hello?" she asked, bringing the phone up to her ear. It had been a really long time since she had even spoken to Shay. |

(Yes you did!!! How've you been?) Shay smiled the minute the familiar voice reached her ears. "Hey Sam, it's Shay. I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Her voice took a very playful note at that last bit, though there was a portion of her heart that sank a little. It had been so long since she'd last spoken to Samantha that she really couldn't be sure what was going on in her life at the moment. "And hey, I'm really sorry that I haven't been around much lately," she added quickly, feeling truly guilty about it. "I've actually tried focusing on school for once and managed to get a second job--just a waitress, but hey, it's still a job nonetheless--and just sort of let myself get lost in all of that." |

(I've been good~ I've sort of migrated on over to a forum where it's just between my friends and me, so that's part of the reason I've disappeared from here, and I always mean to get more active here but nobody's ever been on, but now you're here it gives me more motivation to post :3 A lot's happened with Samantha over there, and it feels kind of funny posting here with her now xD So what about you, how've you been?) "You're not interrupting anything at all," said Samantha, smiling at Shay's tone. She listened as Shay explained her reasons for being away, and then took in a breath as she readied her own explanation. "Don't worry about it at all," she said, "I've been just as busy as you are, though I'm a little jealous that you've been doing something useful with your time," her own voice took a playful tone for a moment before going back to serious, "I've been dealing with boyfriend issues for the most part, and the baby...But things are slowly getting better. Especially now that you've called, I'm pretty sure we've got a lot of catching up to do!" |

(I'm glad to hear that you've been doing well. ^.^ I've tried to really help resurrect this board and the other one a couple of times, but like you said, no one's ever on so it's been hard. ;_; Then college came and I got caught up in that, but, well, now it's summer so I'm back! XD I've been doing well, though; just really missed this place and the people. I wish it didn't feel so weird posting as Shay as it does. ;_; It's just been so long. But hey, I plan on fixing that now. ^_~)"Well, if you're free, would you like to get out and do something?" asked Shay. "I actually drove over to the Institute and am just sort of sitting like an idiot in the driveway. We can head out to the park or something to catch up if you'd like. Or...anywhere, really." Her voice was light and cheerful, genuinely happy for a chance to get to talk to her friend. She had to practically (literally) bite her own tongue just to stop herself from spewing out the millions of questions she had for her right then and there. "What sounds good to you?" |

(Maybe now that we're both around, it'll help. Newbies see two eager RPers it might give them the will to join~ (or they could think we're just too sad to leave this place despite how dead it is but let's not go with that one) Ooh, college, I didn't know you were that old xD Congrats. How's college life? And I think Shay is perfectly in character, so you're doing well despite not playing her in a long time!) Samantha had to resist the urge not to hang up immediately and rush outside, one because it would be rude to hang up, and two because she was dressed in a shirt several sizes too big, and old sweat pants. "You don't even need to ask! I've been stuck inside all day with no transportation. I thought about using the X-van, but I really didn't want to shoot a missile by accident or something," she laughed. "Let me just go get dressed and I'll be right out!" |

(Gosh, now I really feel old. XD I'm joking, of course. ^.^ You could call me anything you want at this point and I'll take it as a compliment. XD Yes, I'm that happy to be back and posting. ^_~ But it's just been my first year of college...and it's been AMAZING. So much better than high school. But yeah, I'd LOVE to see new members come and join...and I'd love it even more if old members (especially Thorn) came back. ;_; But thanks so much for letting me know I haven't quite lost the Shay-touch yet. XD) Shay couldn't help but laugh at the eagerness she heard in Samantha's voice, overcome by a grinning fit herself. "Take your time," she laughed. "I'll be out here waiting!" She hung up the phone after she was sure that Samantha was distracted with getting ready, momentarily wondering if she should perhaps move her car. I sort of am taking up the driveway... She glanced around briefly, eventually pulling the car off to the side just a bit so that there was room to drive past her if anyone needed to, while still being visible from the mansion. |

After spending over five minutes of getting ready, and finally realizing she probably shouldn't keep Shay waiting, Samantha finally threw on an outfit that she hoped didn't make her look too large. She stuck her phone in her pocket and hurried out of her room, down the stairs and to the front door. She opened it and was greeted by warmth, sunlight, and the glorious sight of Shay's car. Closing the door behind her, she walked down the steps and down the driveway until she was at the passenger side of Shay's car. She opened the door and grinned at Shay. "Hey!" she said, getting into the car. "Long time no see! Did you get a haircut?" she grinned. (I was bored one day and my friends and I picked out clothes that our characters would wear and so if you're curious this is what Sam's wearing, http://i39.tinypic.com/2jbwn5i.png xP) |

Shay's eyes lit up as much as her smile when Samantha hopped into the car, barely able to keep herself from tripping over her words as she blurted out, "Hey Sam! You look great! How've you been?" She leaned over in the seat to give her a tight yet gentle hug. "Actually, yeah," she laughed in regards to Sam's question of her hair, gently swishing the now shoulder-length black tresses of hair that curled lightly at her shoulders. "It was just way too much to deal with, especially with the summer weather finally rolling in." She shifted a bit in the seat so that she could face her better, studying her up and down before grinning, "So, how's my little "niece" or "nephew" doing?" ((Looks awesome!!! XD Shay's wearing something like this: http://cdn3.ioffer.com/img2/item/130/072/643/SIHx.jpg with the jeans being capris, lace up sandals, and of course, her choker. XD)) |

Samantha returned the hug with a smile. When she pulled away, she said, "Well it looks awesome, excellent choice. I should get a haircut one of these days, mine's getting a tad boring." Sam glanced down at her belly at Shay's words. "Oh, you know. Still cookin'," she said with a laugh. "I haven't found out the gender yet. We both kind of want it to be a surprise, even though I'm curious as hell!" Sam shifted in her seat to pull the seat belt over her and fastened it with a click before turning back to Shay. "So, how's life been at the B-hood?" (Shay has an awesome fashion sense, like always xP I love it!) |

"Thanks, I'm glad you like it," smiled Shay in response to the compliment about her hair, playfully giving a strand of Samantha's a tug. "And hey, if you ever want to, we could always make a day of it...hang out at the salon and turn it into one big girls night out." She flashed a grin, as she settled against her seat, smiling as Samantha talked about the baby. "I can't wait to meet him or her...and you know, leaving the gender a surprise means that I'll just have to focus on buying him/her toys instead of clothes, at least until after he/she is born." She gave a playful wink. As soon as Sam had buckled herself in, Shay turned back and started the car, making sure her seat belt was still fastened before putting the car in reverse and setting off down one of the main roads. "Oh it's...life," answered Shay with a laugh. "Completely insane, but yet I still wouldn't give it up for the world." She paused for a moment, a shadow of something crossing her face before adding, "My brother's been stopping by to visit me more and more; I'm afraid he's going to move in one of these days." While her voice stayed light and casual, there was a distinct strain to the undertone. "But hey, we can catch up on me later. What all have you been up to and...where exactly are we going?" she asked, bursting into a light fit of laughter as she came to a red light. (Thanks!!! ^.^ I'm glad you like it.) |

"That would be a lot of fun," Samantha said, smiling. "It's been forever since I've had a girls night out with anyone. It's usually just Seamus and I." After a moment, she rubbed her stomach with a smile. "Yeah, although honestly I've bought a fair share of clothes, just because the temptation was too much to handle," she said, eyes twinkling as she laughed. Samantha definitely caught the strain in Shay's tone, but she was unsure how to go further with it. Months away was definitely enough to make Sam question if it was right to pry into Shay's personal life. Deciding to put it off for a few moments, Samantha considered Shay's question. "I really don't know where we should go," she said after a few seconds. "Perhaps the park? Only problem with that is it's probably crowded on a day like today. How about we go get lunch?" she asked, glancing down at her watch for a second, and then looking back up at Shay. |

"The park would be nice, though you're right, it's gotta be swamped on a day like today," Shay agreed, glancing at the nearest street sign to see where they were. "But lunch sounds like a great idea; I haven't eaten yet today. I really need to stop at the grocery store before heading home tonight." She turned down the "strip" of Bayville, taking note of a few fast food joints and the nicer sit-down restaurants in between. "So, what sounds good to you?" she asked with a smile. "Pizza? Burgers? Seafood?" There weren't enough words in the English language for Shay to describe how nice it was to be able to get out and about just for fun. To be hanging out with a good friend, especially one she hadn't heard from in so long, was just what the doctor ordered. |

"Maybe we can head there after lunch?" suggested Samantha, "Maybe it'll be less crowded later in the day." She looked out the window as the drove, smiling at having finally gotten out of the house. "Oh, hmm..." she said, when Shay asked her what she wanted. "I wish all of the above was an option," she said, laughing as her stomach growled. "How about seafood? I know it'll be more expensive than burgers or pizza, but I have some cash and today's a special day," she said cheerfully, grinning. |

"Seafood it is," laughed Shay as she merged over to the right-hand lane to make a turn, heading for the little seafood restaurant a couple blocks over. "I can't honestly remember the last time I've eaten it--unless tuna sandwiches count." She gave a playful smirk, shaking her head lightly as they made the turn. "But I think that the park might be a little clearer after we eat. If nothing else, we could always just walk around a bit and chat, or find a free bench." "So, is there anything else special about today aside from it's the first time I've really gotten out of the boarding house for fun instead of work?" asked Shay with a laugh. |
