Kentucky and Grandparents.

I groaned and stopped talking completely. I started humming a song and I just let Andrew do his thing. The lion cage was the same as the tiger one.

I pouted and let her down."Seems like you're not going to be eaten today. Sorry, kitties!"I called out at the lions

I grinned in satisfaction. "Thanks, Annie," I poked him in the ribs and stuck my tongue out. I started walking towards the aviary.

I laughed and followed close behind her."I promise to feed you to them the next time!"

I rolled my eyes. "If there is a next time." We walked into the aviary and colorful birds were everywhere. "Wow." All of the sudden, a bird landed on my shoulder. I broke into a huge grin.

I laughed as we walked in the huge building anf followed her around. I grinned back at her when a bird flew on her shoulder and pressed my finger to my lips, indicating we should keep quiet if she did not want it to leave

I put my finger toward my shoulder and, to my surprise, the bird climbed on. I motioned with my free hand for Andrew to take a picture.

I nodded and quickly snapped some pictures, grinning at Cece from above the camera."Awesome!"I mouthed at her

I launched the bird gently into the air. It flew off. I ran over to Andrew. "Lemme see, Lemme See!" I grabbed the camera out of his hands.

I laughed and wrapped my arms around her waist, resting my chin on her shoulder and watching the pics with her

I looked through the pictures. There were some really good ones. "Is there a photo printer at um... home?" I still felt a bit weird calling it home. This is my home. Right?

I shrugged cluelessly."I guess. But yeah, you look pretty awesome in these. In no time I'll have to fight off thousands of your admirers"I teased and winked at her playfully

I shoved him playfully off to the side as we walked out of the aviary. I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, because so many people like me," I said sarcastically. I gave Andrew back his camera.

I grinned and ruffled her hair."Why not? You are awesome, little sis!"I assured her and grabbed my camera."Thanks, by the way"

I rolled my eyes, again, and smiled. "Thanks, and you're welcome." I said, clipping the conversation short. My eyes wandered. I spotted a dip'n'dots over the hill a bit and grabbed Andrew's shirttail. After squealing and jumping up and down for a bit, I looked at him with my "Bambi eyes" and stuck out my lower lip. "Pwease?" I said in my most cutesie voice.

It was my turn to roll my eyes."Alright, let's go"I laughed and let her pull me behind her.

OOC: Short, I know, but I have no idea what that thing is

((Dip'n'dots is/are little bits of ice cream dipped in liquid nitrogen that are made of rainbows. XD))

I yanked Andrew behind me as I walked to the stand. I pondered what flavor to get, then told the clerk. "One cookies and cream and whatever boy wants." I gestured for Andrew to pick a flavor.

"Uh... No, thanks"I answered politely and shook my head."Is that even healthy?"I whispered in Cecelia's ear

I pulled some money out of my pocket and payed the clerk. "Thank you!" As we walked away, I shook my head. "Nope. BUT it is delicious." I picked up a spoonful and stuck it in my mouth. I smiled with satisfaction.

"Sure, but aren't you worried?"I asked confused, putting my sunglasses on because the evening sun was hurting my eyes

"Worried about what?" I gestured to my skinny body. "I ain't getting any fatter." As I looked behind Andrew's head, I saw a glint in my eye. Confused, I turned towards it. I saw a raven-looking thing with a beak like metal. "Um... Andrew, do you see that?" I pointed at the bird.

"That's not the point, fat is the last thing you should thing about while eating that thing"I replied and rolled my eyes before she asked me a question. I turned confused and stared at the weird bird."Uh-huh. I-it looks familiar.... Right?"I asked and scratched the back of my neck nervously

I looked at it from a distance, not daring to come closer. Squinting at it, I gasped, then grabbed onto Andrew's shirt. "Andrew that's a Styph... Stymphalean B..Bird. They travel in flocks." I whispered. I rubbed my eyes and looked again. There were even more there then I saw before. "Andrew. We have to get out of here." I grabbed his hand and pulled him in the opposite direction of the flock. "Do you have your weapon on you?" I asked as I ran.

"No! I never imagined this would happen!"I answered and ran behind her. There was sou.ds of wings flapping and I turned to look; regretting it instantly. The birds were following us and getting closer by the minute. "We can't outrun them!"

I sighed. Hopefully the Mist could cover this up. I drew my sword, still with a little dried blood on it. "I don't remember how to get rid of them!" Inracked my brain to think about it. They started divebombing us and I slashed at them, trying to get rid of them.
