Shell was sitting in a booth with her favorite ice cream. Taking a few little spoonfuls, she smiles to herself slightly. Things were going to be different now. Finally for once, she didn't have Rubalyn messing up her life, taking control and doing what she pleased... well maybe not as often anyway. But at least it wouldn't effect the way she acted anymore.
Looking around a little bit she notices the same waiter that was here the last time that Andra and her were there but she didn't flirt or anything like her 'normal' behavior. Instead she just nodded towards him getting a werid expression back before shrugging slightly at the waiter and herself before taking another bite. Things were going to be different, whether people liked it or not. |

Technically, we should've been staying in the house, but I wanted to get out and I knew that the kids were dying to as well. So here we were. Well, at least Justin in his stroller and me. It would've been the girls too, but Lilian had popped over and offered to watch them, but only if I took Justin. She wasn't into the whole dirty diapers situation.. and I didn't blame her.
Right now, it basically came to needing a place to feed Justin. I wasn't planning on buying anything.. except maybe a free water.
I pulled the door open, pushing the stroller throught the door and inside. I sat at an empty booth, not really paying attention to my surroundings and lifted Justin out of his stroller, smiling a little to him as I heard him gurgle slightly. |

Shell smiles a little again before looking over and noticing her younger cousin with a baby stroller. "I guess I missed a lot." she says softly before seeing a little baby boy being taken out of the it now as well.
After a few seconds and her ice cream was completely gone she walked over to the other booth and rested her hand on the top seat, opposite of the one that Riley was sitting in. "H-hey..." she murmurs softly, unsure if he still didn't like her that much if at all or if he was going to be nice or even ignore her. |

I heard a small voice and I looked up to see Shelby.. or Rubalyn actually sitting across from me. Funny thing was that didn't sound like Ruby and if I didn't know that Shelby was dead, I would've said that it was her.
"Could you possibly do anything else to my family, Ruby?" I asked looking over to her with a small frown. "What do you want now?" I added as I set Justin back down and started to get a bottle ready for him. |

Figures. Add Riley to the list of people who think I'm dead...
"Riley. I'm not Ruby, I'm Shelby. She didn't kill me, she's lying as usual. If you don't believe me when you were seven I told you that dragons used to live in our closet and then Fiona locked you in there. I felt so bad that I snuck ice cream bars out of the freezer." she says with a smile. [/size] |

I stopped making the bottle for a moment looking up to her, trying to decide whether or not she was tellng the truth. But like I thought only a few moments ago, it sounded like Shelby. It just did, I didn't know how to describe it.
Why didn't Riyann tell me though? That's not really somethng I feel that should've been kept from me. I watched her closely, seeing her smile. I didn't know what to say. I guess that I believed her. I was starting to get used to that whole coming back to life thing.
I smiled faintly and shook my head. "You know, you could've just let me out of the closet." I said after a few moments. |

Shell laughs a little looking down at the little bundle in his arms before shaking her head a bit at him. "But still. It was technically my fault cause I lied to you. Fiona took advantage so I wanted to make it up to you is all." she says with a nod as a frown started to appear on her face. "You don't believe me do you?" [/size] |

I shrugged slightly, "Well, thanks I guess then." I said with a soft chuckle. "Or.. actually, I dunno, should I be thanking you?"
".. I'm still trying to decide." I said quietly with a small nod. "I feel like Riyann would've mentioned this, is all." |

"I just ran into her last night... so I don't know Riley. I told her everything and she believes me." And the only one. "So is that that new baby? I can't tell who he looks like more." [/size] |

I nodded faintly, "Okay... I believe you." I said after thinking about it for a moment. If I was wrong to believe her, then I was wrong. What can you do?
I smiled a little and nodded, "Yep.. we think he looks more like me.." I said looking at him and then back up to her with a small smile. |

"He does look like you and some of Justin in there too." she says softly before biting her lip. "So how have you been lately..." |

"Well consideringing we were brothers.." I said with a faint laugh, smiling a little bit. "We did sort of look alike.." I added with a small nod.
"Um.. I dunno really.." I said shaking my head a bit. "How's it being alive?" |

"That's true." she says with a little laugh herself before glancing down at the baby in his arms. "I want another one of those for some reason." Shell adds before looking back up at Riley. "The same? I was never really gone. I should be asking how's it feel that your cousin is still alive?" [/size] |

I smiled and nodded a little bit, watching her look back down to Justin and following her eyes. "Are you crazy? I have a feeling that you'll pass once this one start crying.." I said with a small nod, looking back up to her.
"Well.. yeah, but everybody thinks that you were." I explained with a faint shrug.
"I'm thankful. Riyann was a mess when she found out." I said shaking my head a little bit, but still looking up to her with a small smile. "Plus, she's basically forbidden me from starting the order, so I think you should just take that back into your own hands." I added with a small nod. "We never got along but I didn't want you dead." |

Shell bit her lip slightly. "I think everyone still thinks that. I've only convinced the kids, Riyann and you. Fitzy didn't hear I was dead so he didn't say anything, but still." she says before letting out a deep sigh. "And as for the crying I've grown used to that." she adds grinning a little towards Justin. [/size] |

"Well, what would you expect, Shelby?" I asked looking up to her again. "Ruby running around and everything.." I added, shaking my head faintly.
"You may be used to it, but that doesn't mean you won't get a headache." I said with a small smile shaking my head, noting how she seemed to brush off the comment about the order, trying to decide if I should ask again, or wait. |

Shell just sighs looking down at the table. "I know, but still. I hate having to explain everything to everyone." she says softly after a moment. "Honestly I don't mind. It was just hectic with them growing up and being so close in age. That was always crazy and still is." she says with a laugh. "I'm okay with Vi, Liese, Jake and James." she adds, still ignoring the order subject. [/size] |

I nodded slightly, "Yeah.. I can understand that." I said with a small sigh and nod.
I nodded again at what she was saying. I guessed that it would have been quite hectic. There were always way too many kids running around. "That was really hectic.." I said back to her after thinking more about it with a small chuckle. "That's good.. I don't think you need any more kids.. maybe you should take a break." I added with a small smile.
I was still wondering what she was thinking about the Order. She had to have heard me say it and I wanted to know. There was no doubt that I was planning on bringing it up again. |

"I might just one more. I don't know. Knowingly something will convince me not to." she says with a faint frown. "So, you want me to do the order then... right?" she says with a sigh. [/size] |

"If you really think you want to." I said with a faint shrug. "And that's probably a good thing.. I think you should just take it easy.. but just my opinion.." I said with a small nod.
She brought it up first and I was really surprised by it. I wasn't expecting her to have been one to mention something she obviously didn't want to talk about.
"I-I would've.. but if I don't have to, it'd be good.." I said quietly with a small nod. "Riyann won't give me reasons why, but she really doesn't want me to do it." |

"Either think that she might be on the deatheater side and her voice is telling her to do so maybe? But I doubt that is happening. Maybe we can both be heads of the order?" she suggests before looking up at Riley the first time in a while. [/size] |

I stayed quiet for a few moments now, a small frown placed on my face as I set Justin back in his stroller. I didn't know what was going on, because she wasn't filling me in properly. "Maybe.. I'll see what she thinks about it.." I said quietly with a small nod, looking over to her too.
"... She found the dark mark.. on our front door in blood." I told her quietly a few seconds later. "I dunno what's going on." |

Shell bit her lip and sighs. "That's the old calling call for a meeting. Someone is gathering the deatheaters and I think I know who." she says with a slight tint of anger in her voice. [/size] |

I nodded faintly, "Right.. well it wouldn't come off.. Riyann took the door off it's hinges and burned it." I said shaking my head faintly. "I thought things were geting beter."
"You know who?" I asked, feeling my eyebrows perk up faintly, "Are you sure?"

"Well, not you know who... I wanna say Jerami and Ruby." she says softly before looking down at Justin. She wasn't sure if it was wise to discuss this in front of a baby let alone in the middle of an ice cream in diagon alley. After all, it was just a guess. [/size] |

Post by Riley Pearson on Sept 12, 2008 4:12:48 GMT
"No, I meant, you knew who it was." I said shaking my head a little bit. "I was pretty sure it wasn't him. That could be it then..." I said witha small nod, watching her look over to Justin.

She just nods slightly looking around still. "I'm not sure, it's only a guess." she says with a shrug.

Post by Riley Pearson on Sept 12, 2008 5:04:25 GMT
I shrugged faintly too, watching as she looked around the room. I guess maybe this wasn't the best place to have the conversation. Who knows who's actually listening.. even if you don't see anybody.
"Well, I don't see what they're trying to do." I said with a small sigh, shaking my head a litle bit.

"I don't either... but anyway. What's his middle name?" she asks nodding to Justin to change the subject.

I sighed slightly, letting her leave it at that. If I thought of something else to ask her about I'd just have to ask her another day.
"Oh, um, Tyler." I said answering her question. I knew she had basically come up with the name when she was with Riyann that one time and I was still sort upset about it, but it's not like I could do anything about it. Plus, not like I can complain much about the name since he's named after my brother.
