Seriously? You say the nicest things.

Think so? I was just thinking out loud ...

You've the soul of a poet and the heart of a musician. Seriously, Damien, you should put pen to paper and write this stuff down. You've got serious talent.

Thats quite nice of you to say, maybe someday I will.

It's from mom I think, shes so smart and artistic

Today is the anniversary of a very sad day, indeed.

It is, I was just thinking about it ... and ... all the people I know that died really ...

You knew people personally that died in 9/11? That's so sad, Damien.

I'm sorry, I'm all emo and not being very clear ...

I don't know people who personally died in the attack, but thinking about what happend ... it made me think about death. That made me think of all the people in my family who are already dead.

Does that make any sense?

I understand what you mean.

You and I were both pretty little when it happened but I think about it and I think about what you are saying a lot. Generations and stuff. I mean, I don't have anyone blood related to me still alive that I know of, if I do they didn't care enough to try to find me and my mother doesn't have any blood relatives alive either.

People are important. Its scary to think we can loose them so easily.

If only people weren't so fragile.

Yeah. *frowns* At least you have your wizard powers to protect your loved ones.

You know, I wasn't even sure I wanted to be a wizard at first.

But the more I see bad things happening and people who can defend themselves ... it makes me not only want to be a wizard, it makes me feel like i have to be one.

I want to be the strongest spell caster ever, even more powerful then my Dad.

*offended*

I'm not weak, Damien. Just because I don't have magical powers or the choice about what whether I can use magic or not doesn't mean I can't defend myself. That wasn't a very cool thing to say.

*sighs, feeling guilty*
I'm sorry, I reacted like that but... its... it's not fair really. I was in Foster Care, that's where I met my best friend, Tyrell. His mother is addicted to drugs and as long as she can't stay clean, Ty's got to live at St. Catherine's where's he's bullied all the time for being the smallest kid and the only black boy. If he was a wizard maybe he could help his mom or even just defend himself from the bigger boys. Or if I was I could help him. Or help show the other boys that its not cool to be mean for no reason. Why do some people get to have this power and some don't? How was that decision made? Why are people who need power the most the ones with none?

*trying hard to calm down, looking down*
I'm sorry Damien. I'm really sorry. I know none of this is your fault and that you are a good boy and a good friend. Just do good stuff with your wizard powers. I didn't mean to... I'm sorry. That was selfish. I'm sorry.

ooc- I'm so sorry for the pup. He's frusturated and this was pent up and now he's really really embaressed.

((typo above, should be can't instead of can))

::Damien is a bit shocked by the outburst, as the frustration gets let out, he begins to understand ... but he is still suprised that Billy thought he was calling him weak::

I ... I really don't know. I'm sorry too.

::He sits quietly almost to the point of being stunned, eventually he breaks the silence::

I don't think your weak Billy. Infact, I know your strong ... I don't think I would be as good a person as you if I had to go through all the same things ...

((It's all good, everyone needs to release some frustration here and there))

I thought you were saying that non magical people couldn't defend themselves or something you said... I just... I worry about people like Tyrell that I know need help but have none. I'm sure there are wizards in the same situation but...

I don't know about that, but thanks Damien. I won't forget you said that.

You're a really great friend, Damien. And, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. None of this stuff is your fault. I'm sure you'll be a great spell caster.

ooc- Thanks :-) For some reason I can't figure out, Billy seems to really fear weakeness or people thinking he's weak. Maybe he's just really tired of being a weak little kid or something. He really likes and respects Damien and now he's feeling a bit embaressed for blowing up like he did but he's calming down and sensing that all will be fine if he just takes a deep breath, ya know?

I didn't mean to make it seem like people with out magic are weak. I don't think like that. I just ment there are things and even wizards that don't like to fight fair, just like the bullies that pick on Tyrell. I want to be one of the people who stops stuff like that from happening.

There are people who go through some of the same tough things that you have and they end up being bad or really messed up. It takes a realy strong person to rise above it and be a good person. You have a lot of that inside strength Billy. I admire you for it.

I want to be one of those people too. I'm sure the world could use lots of people like that. Maybe someday we'll even work together. Think that could ever happen?

I guess I know what you mean. *chokes up a little and hugs his friend* Thanks, Damien. Just so you know, you're a pretty strong guy yourself. Pink or not.

I'm sure it will Billy. My dad has friends that help him fight bad guys all the time and most of them aren't wizards. I'm sure I'll need friends to help me too and you and Lil's will probably be the first people I'd call.

::Looks down at his friend from the hug::

Your never gonna let me live the pink down are you. I bet I'll be thirty and you'll still be teasing me about it.

Maybe if we work together people will learn from our example and not be afraid to work together because of differences. The three of us could be a sweet sweet team!

*grins up at him*
By the time we're thirty maybe it will be in style for men to wear or like pink. Pink is cool. Just look at this guy: http://www.lalimes.com/johanna/Hanna_CAS_Pink_Unitard_Guy_0900.jpg *laughs at the picture*

Seriously though, Damien, I was purple. That's like half a step from pink!

It's tough being such a hero isn't it George

It's letting all the women down gently

*both grin*
