Lake Adventure!

[Sakura]

Sakura was strolling down one of the many corridors at Magic Horizon’s school and was thinking what she could do to make life more interesting. “The Lake!” the thought sparked into her head like a light bulb, what made it better was that she knew where it was too. So, she took off to the Lake. She imagined what it would be like, the mist making its way above the water that would reflected the setting sun and the moon as it came up accompanied by the glittering stars in the heavens. It would also be quiet there too, suiting Sakura’s mood perfectly, she had been in a little bit of a mood all day, but that was normal for her. She had been sitting around the common room and walking down corridors for the majority of the days past and present, she needed something to do that was more interesting to do or she could die with boredom.

After a slow walk she finally got there, the lake, where she hadn’t been before and who knows she might meet some new people and make friends with them too. She walked too the edge of the misty lake and sat down, staring, waiting, watching and silently taking in everything she saw, treasuring the moment. Sakura let out a small sigh and laid down hands underneath her head, relaxing as best as she could.

[Nyssa]

Nyssa had been bored with the Common Room. she had been walking around the corridors for nearly an hour trying to think of a place to go to do something. She had thought of the libaray but that was boring so she thought again and remembered someone said the lake was a lovely at dust. She smiled and headed down the lake as fast as she could without getting lost that was. She had to ask the directions to the lake from two different paintings.

by the time Nyssa got to the lake she was a little less exicted but happy she had not got hopelessly lost like she had at her last school. She was walking toward the lake when she saw someone was at the lake. She was a little happy that she would be able to get to meet another person at the school.

As she got near the girl she smiled "Hiya."

[Sakura]

Sakura was counting the clouds as they passed and was falling in to a deep sleep; she was amazed that the Lake was this peaceful. A voice came from behind her and she rose to her feet by the sudden greeting of a back-headed girl. It looked as though her wish had come true; she had indeed met a new person. “Hi I’m Sakura. Who are you?” she friendly introduced. The grey haired girl sat back down to admire the scenery once more, she couldn’t take her eyes off it, the Lake was even more beautiful then she had imagined. The sun was setting and the stars were about to make their appearance, Sakura couldn’t wait.

“So, what house are you in?” she said with a little bit of a giggle in the words and a big smile on her face. She still kept her eyes on the Lake reluctant to take them away. Then she waited for the black-haired girl’s answer.

(ooc: sorry so short)

[Nyssa]

Nyssa smiled at the girl as she rose and went to greet her briefly. Her name was Sakura which was a odd name but Nyssa was a little strange to considering that was her actual name not a nick name. She smiled at her and with a giggle she said "My name is Nyssa.". she knew the girl had to be in a different house which was ok, it was fun meeting new people. He noticed the badger on her robes and gave a smile. Her new friend was a hufflepuff student.

"I am from Ravenclaw." she told her new friend proudly. She had only recently arrived at Magic Horizon but she had a feirce house spirit. She had only met Sephe so far in her house but that would change soon she was sure.

She sat down next to the girl as she watched the lake. Nyssa found it amazing as well, so calm and peaceful. The moon was rising behind then and she smiled as she saw it in the mirror like surface before them. The stars seemed to be jewel enveloped and a liquid viel. She smiled to herself "This place is wonderful."

[Sakura]

“Hi, nice to meet you Nyssa,” Sakura said as the dark haired girl descended to sit next to her and admire the view. The Sun had completely set and the moon had taken its place in the glittering sky above her head. Nyssa seemed a very nice person to her and Sakura knew straight away they were going to good friends. For a second she thought that something was moving in the water of the Lake, but took no notice of it, it might have just been a fish or something. She listened to Nyssa saying that the Lake was amazing, but didn’t take her eyes off the beautiful Lake. “I agree with you completely. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.”

It was starting to get chilly now so Sakura put her knees against her chest to keep herself warm. She turned to Nyssa, “You want to play Truth or Dare or maybe I Spy? It would fun and it will your honour to choose which one we play.” She thought it would be a good idea, it would keep her mind off the cold and of course it would be great fun.

[Nyssa]

Nyssa smiled at Sakura as she spoke to her. She knew she could become good friends with her. It was funny how even a silly little girl like Nyssa could make friends so easily. Nyssa liked the idea of truth or dare so she said "Lets play truth or dare." she said softly trying not to sound like a wierdo or something. She sat side by side with Sakura and waited for a moment "you start." She said softly with a giggle "Sorry I giggle alot."

She was not nervous she was happy to have made a new friend. She knew her giggles would get her odd looks but hopefully not hinder any friendships. She gave Sakura a smile "Or do you want me to go first?"

[Sakura]

Sakura smiled at Nyssa, she had never been good at Truth or Dare, she could never think of a dare but this time she was going to try. “Is it alright if you start?” she said, “It is fair to warning I can accept any challenge you give me.” Of course this was the biggest lie ever, she couldn’t tell the truth of her past and was too defensive for a real dare. Then again if was really rubbish why did she offer to play? One of the strange wonders of Sakura. She felt a little uneasy, it might have been because of Nyssa’s giggling, or the fact she had company with her and that had never happened too often. For her, social skills was never her strong suit, she would end up not knowing what to say next or getting really frustrated.

After a few more moments of staring into the waters of the Lake, Sakura found herself in a deep daydream. This little daydream was about the Lake and how many creatures could be hiding in its gloomy waters that humans were almost unworthy to gaze into. She quickly snapped out of it, shaking her head to whisk away the dizziness, like when you’re just about see the end of a dream and then you wake up. “It sure is quiet out here now, isn’t it?” she said after a very long spread of silence, due her dreaming. A faint wind was staring to pick up, blowing Sakura’s grey hair about for a little while. Smiling, she laid back down like she was before, got comfortable and waited to tell the truth or complete a dare.

[Nyssa]

Nyssa nodded to the quiet comment. It did seem very quiet out here now. The crickets seemed to be the only sound and even they where being quiet at times. She shivered a little as a cold breeze blew over them both. She gave a warm smile to her "Ok then." she said with a giggle. She had to think about what she would ask.

"Truth or dare." she said with a giggle. She wondered if she would answer truth or dare. She wasn't sure what she would ask but she hoped it would be easy, she didn't want to offend or startle her new friend.

[Sakura]

Sakura thought for a moment, “Truth,” she said after a couple of seconds. She turned to Nyssa and smiled she took off the jacket she was wearing and handed it to her so she be warm. Listening to the cricket’s making the noise that you will only ever hear at night kept her thinking about things apart from the cold. The only thing that worrying her is if the weather got really cold, if that was the case then she would go indoors. She got colds easily so she shouldn’t be here in the coldness of the night.

A sad thought struck her slightly as her thinking got control over her. Her parents, the shadow, the memories. The grin that was on her left suddenly as she stared at the Lake, it seemed to remind Sakura of her mother, when she died. Her mother died near a Lake just like this and at about the same too. She remembered that it was snowing though, if it snowed now she would most likely collapse into tears. She held back her thoughts and feelings; she stared at the Lake with watering eyes that she was trying not to reveal.

[Nyssa]

She giggled for a second then began to think. She knew that her question had to be careful on what to ask. Before she could ask anything she noticed her friend starting to get sad. She was curious but didn't want to be seen as noisy. She thought for another moment before smiling softly at her.

"Whats making you so sad." she ask her softly. She didn't want to be seen as a noisy brat. She smiled softly at her friend she hoped she could sometime help her friend.

OOC: I am sorry I can't think..

[Sakura]

She figured it was what she had been told to do for the truth, normally she would have told but instead Sakura replied with: “Nothing don’t worry.”
It didn’t sound too convincing but she hoped that would have been enough. She looked up at Nyssa and forced a smiled to left her face. The thoughts that had briefly haunted her were none of other people’s worries; Sakura just didn’t want Nyssa to get hurt. Besides, these were family matters and that is very personal to her, it was her burden so nobody else needs to carry it.

“So,” she said trying to sound cheerful, “What do you want me to tell the truth about? Nothing silly I hope.” That felt like the wrong thing to say, it was very rude and she wasn’t sure if Nyssa was going to take any of that. She kept quiet as she waited and prayed that I would not be something embarrassing.
