"So, um, thank you. Believe it or not, this is my first date, and...I don't know if you know, I'm kinda nervous." Marley really was. She couldn't think right now. The only thing keeping her in reality was his gentle touch. It felt good, calming, but she still couldn't sttle the butterflies fluttering in her stomach.

Bo nodded gently, small smile still on his face. "Me too, with both things" he replied softly. His nerves had calmed a bit ago, and he just continued walking, walking, walking. He was on cloud nine. O maybe six, or three. Who knows, for all he cared it could've been cloud three hundred, ninety-six.

Marley stared off into the setting sun. What a perfect day this turned out to be! She made a new friend, rode a pegasus in a high-ish speed chase, and is now on a date with her crush. Perfect! she sang in her head. "So, anything on your mind?" She asked, attempting to make small talk.

"Nothing much, just enjoying the moment, and thinking about what a perfect day it is" he replied, dreamy smile on face, looked at hers. "What's on your's?"

"The same thing I guess. This is kinda a fairy tale moment for me. Everything seems to be going right, uh, for now at least." She flashed a nervous smile, hoping what she said wouldn't come true. "I guess I'm also thinking about life, in general. Before you, my life was pretty uneventful. This is the first big thing for me to happen in a while, so I'm excited that I'm adding more to my life. Being a half-blood, I'm not sure how much longer I'm gonna last. So I'm enjoying everything while I can. But, I hope that 'uneventfulness' is goignt o pay off in that sort of way. You know what I mean?" Marley didn't actually mean to tell him all that. It was kinda deep, to her standards at least. She giggled and smiled sheepishly.

Bo nodded and flashed her a smile. "That's pretty true, but that's why we go out of camp in a type of buddy system. With two others, 'ya know? It's so we can help and protect each other, like my brothers and I do. We don't act like it, but we actually are pretty close friends. Geo just acts too bossy some times, Ray, or as he always wants us to call him Red, acts like a girl, Vann's too big of a smart mouth. We just find lots of faults in each other. And it doesn't help that I have an 'attitude problem', as stated by Vann." He shrugged, "But you know what? I think that us being together all the time kind of makes us stronger, so does our time alone. So it seems we're always getting stronger."

"Yeah, that's cool that you guys have that kind of relationship. But how come they think you have an attitude problem. I think you're really sweet." Marley was kinda surprised to hear that.

"Ah... Well I have kind of a... Short temper..." he mumbled. He didn't like admitting his faults, and it didn't help that it was Marley he was admitting to. He didn't want her to decide she didn't like him. "Now," he changed the topic, "How was or is your family?"

<I'm making her sister, so she isn't made yet.>
"Uh, well, let's just say my sister's a goody goody. I'm usually the 'skater girl' slash 'punk-ish girl'. So...I guess you could say we're pretty much polar opposites. And my dad was pretty much there, not really a big influense though. I mean, like he gave us a roof over our heads and food on the table and all that stuff, but it seemed like he didn't want anything to do with us."

"Ahhh... My mom ran away or something with my step-dad or something or other when me and my brothers were babies. My grandma raised us. To the best of her ability. But she was old, and there were four of us... Pretty tough on her." He sighed, then just barely said out loud, to know one in particular, "I hope she's all right..."

"Oh, well I hope you get to see her again. I've never really known my mom, so it was just my dad. I guess that's kinda what it's like for you, except not having a dad. Anyways," Marley said, trying to change the subject instead of talking about that sensitive topic. "What's going on with "Red" and his "girlfriend"?" she said, using air-quotes around Red and girlfriend, knowing that neither were really the correct term to describe them.

"Never seen her in my life" Bo shrugged. "Not until today, that is. And about the "Red" thing, when we were small, we used our favorite colors as nicknames. I was Blue, Ray was Red, Geo was Green, and Vann was Vio, as Violet is a girl's name, and purple as a name is too girly. Red decided to keep his name when me and the others dropped it, he kept it. He's kind of weird like that. Even as an Are's kid, he's a scaredy-cat."

"Ha ha! Yeah, that is pretty unusual. My sister's kinda a scaredy-cat as well. Sometimes when she gets scared, she creates a rainbow. I don't get it. But, you know, it's not my choice. As a child of Iris, my sister, Jessica has a cooler power than I do. She creates rainbows, while I destroy them. Pretty lame, huh?"

"I don't think it's lame" smiled Bo. "Just you having it makes it cool. We can make people a bit angry just by being around them. The angrier we ourselves get, the stronger it grows. But we can control it most of the time, while angry. Like make it stop and stuff, even if we're really angry."

"Aw, really?" she could tell she was blushing, but Marley hoped that Bo wouldn't notice. "Well, I guys your talent comes in handy a lot. Lots of ares kids only make people angry and stuff, but I think it's awesome that you guys have that kind of willpower to stop it."

Bo nodded. "Thank you." He noticed her blushing again, and thought it was cute, which made he himself start.

"Why are you blushing? I'm the one who's overly embarassed," she giggled as she looked into his eyes and nnoticed the same feeling the were in her's: love.

"You sure you're the only one?" He continued walking, looking straight into her eyes. Bad combination. He bumped into a tree, which made Bo blush harder.

She knew Bo wouldn't like it, but Marley couldn't help to laugh histerically. Soon she found she was doubled over on the ground crying from all the funniness. "I'm so sorry!" She cried out. "Just give me a minute and I'll be ok!" She really was sorry for him, but she couldn't stop thanking the gods it wasn't her.

Bo's face turned red, then he couldn't help but burst out laughing too. Soon enough his lungs were hurting and he just couldn't laugh any more without fainting from loss of air.

"Oh my god! Ok, I think I'm done. But seriously, are you ok?" Marley asked, fighting back a smile and another laugh attack.

Bo took a huge breath, then released. "Yeah, I'm fine" he smiled, fighting hard to not let anymore giggles out.

"Ok, now that that's over with," she let out a deep sigh, hoping the laughter at his expense would stop," would you like to stop and watch the sun set on the beach?"

"Fine with me, long as it's with you" smirked Bo, trying to be as romantic as possible. He stood up and put out a hand to help the girl up.

She took the hand gratefully, hoping she wasn't turning bright read at his gentle touch. "Yeah, that sounds perfect," Marley said in an almost mocking his former tone, but she still thought it was cute.

Bo smirked, pulling her up, then walked over, unto the beach, watching the reds, purples, and blues flying and blurring around over the horizon, over yonder. Seeing the stained clouds, puffy and light, floating, seemingly motionless, almost like they were supervising the sun as it sank below the sea.

"It's beautiful," she breathed, thinking aloud. The sky always held such wonder for her, although now, it was something new....She glanced over at Bo caustiously. I hope he likes me as much as I like him, that'd embarassing.

"Yeah it is" smiled Bo. He had never paid attention to sunsets or sunrises. They had just been there. Never anything special, but now... It was different.

She glanced down at her watch, then sighed. She wasn't ready for this date to be over. "Hey, it's getting late," Marley announced. "I have to meet my sister somewhere, but maybe we can have a picnic tomorrow."

Bo sighed. He had wished the day would never end. It seemed he wouldn't be getting any free wishes, besides finally getting a girlfriend. "Okay..." Glancing at her, he started walking back toward camp. Didn't want to be caught here at night, bad things happened if you were out here at night.
