*swings up into the bottom branch and squints up at him, soda bottle in hand* Wha~at's up?

*Jumps, having to grab onto the trunk to keep his seat* Wha- Who're you?

*grins a little, crawls up a branch higher to get to see him better* Chill, dude. I come in peace. *No, really, peace sign fingers, as if to prove it* Name's Carly. You cool?

*Glares, crossing his arms and leaning back against the trunk.* Whatever. I'm Kyo.

Kyo. Sweet. But you still didn't answer my question. *slings an arm over a nearby branch and furrows her eyebrows* Seriously. You cool? You don't look so hot.

I'm fine. Just. Thinkin' about stuff. It's none of your business, anyway!

Hey, you're right. It's not! But concerned citizen nonetheless. it's all good. *offers soda bottle then, wiggling it a little at him* Want some?

Yeah, well. I'm FINE. *Eyes the bottle, reaching down to nab it.* Yeah.

...Thanks.

Okay, you're fine! *leans back against the trunk too, as he takes the bottle, nodding a little* Just checkin'. It's Pepsi, by the way.

Yeah, I can smell it. *Takes a gulp, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand after.* What're you doin' out here anyway?

No fair; you don't get to ask that. *looks at him, matter-of-factually and grins* I asked you first.

*Bristles, scowling and offering the soda bottle back.* I said I was thinkin'!

And I, *takes the bottle, and throws her arms up in the air* am simply here to climb a tree. There. Now we both know.

....And you had to pick THIS tree? *Rolls his eyes.* THAT'S a coincidence.

I only like climbing trees that have angry guys waiting up in them that look like they could talk about something. It's what I do. *shrugs at him, and then holds up two hands* But! I'm often confusing them with guys that are just thinking. You know those guys.

I DON'T NEED TO-! *Cuts himself off, crossing his arms and sighing.*

...You're really weird.

I'm weird? ...Well, yeah, I am, wicked weird, but that's not the point. Besides, you're the one that's sitting up in the tree, brooding and taking strange girl's soda. Now that's weird.

You're a girl? Coulda fooled me. *SMIRKS because he thinks he is so witty.*

No, it's all lies, I secretly have a ten inch peenur. *just as deadpan, because, hey, Southie-bred! She's used to it!* Don't make me prove with the ladybits. I can.

*...WEll damn, now he is blushing.* NO! I believe you! Well not baout the ten inch - I mean - you - just shut up!

*gri~ins* *What! He's fun!* It's okay, I don't give that out to just any boys anyway. So ha. *calmly offers da soda again, as if they're discussing the weather instead of, well, boobies*

*No faster way to make Kyo sputter than discussing the tatas.* No way, you keep it. *Because she'd definitely just called him weird for sharing and now he was worried she was diseased. Great.*

Oh, come on, it's not like I'm gonna give you anything. Oh, shit, except my doc just tested me for that herpes I caught--

Kidding. I swear. It's just plain old Pepsi. With ex-lax. I can't stop now.

...

.....

I think I hate you. What was your name again? Need to know so I can hate you.

*giggles a little then* No, I'm not telling you. Princess Penelope. That's my name now.

I swear to you that it is all in good fun. Kyo. See, I remember your name.

Yeah, well, your name is weird! Car. Carl...y? Carly! Hah!

Yeah, and Kyo's the picture of normal. Damn, you remembered. Guess I'll have to change my name and switch lives.

It is too normal! Kyo Sohma, it's perfectly normal!

...Why?

And so is Carlene Le! So we'll both be normal!

I don't know. I think I'm still trying to be funny. Without the herpes this time.

STOP TALKING ABOUT HERPES!

Just one more time for the road and then I promise I will never say the word ever again?

You are so weird.

I'll take that as a 'yes'. Herpes. There. I'm done. And thank you, I am weird. But, again, I wasn't the first one up in the tree.

There's nothing weird about sitting in a tree!

Well, yeah, maybe years and years ago, until armchairs and benches were invented.

*Scowls* I like being up high! Nothing wrong with that!

So sit on a chair in a balcony! Or on the roof!

I didn't feel like sitting on the roof today!

So you just sit up in the tree?

...You make it sound weird.

BECAUSE IT IS WEIRD.

IT IS NOT!

You're cooped up in a tree like some kind of weird wood sprite squirrel thing! How is that not weird?!

~~Like a cat!~~ I'm not cooped up here, it's big and open and free, and plenty of people climb trees! Look at you!

Dude, let's face it, I only climbed this tree cuz you were up here. *pauses* And, okay, just to climb a tree, but anyway. It's still weird.

Well - then - then you're weird too!

Hey. *wiggles an arm at him, tattoos and all* Duh. At least I admit it, though.

Yeah, well...Maybe I'm a little weird.

That's okay. Fun fact: Me too!
