Pondering Life (Open)
Caitlyn was sitting on the shore of the lake and playing with the water. She spent more time down here than she spent in her room and she liked it that way. One could never practice with powers too much. Today she had a dozen small spheres of water orbiting around her as she sat and thought about how she was going to tell her parents she didn't want to go home to Nova Roma for the summer.

She loved her home, she just found New York to be more exciting. Professor Xavier said she could stay here for the summer and be an X-Woman now that she was graduating. There was also the option of college. She had been accepted to two smaller schools in the area and one in the city. She just had to decide on one and what she wanted to do.

Cait hated making decisions. She was a more of a "go with the flow" kind of girl.

She concentrated and increased the speed of the spheres as they orbited around her.

	He returns the wave pleasantly. Always good to be nice to cute girls. He calls towards the batter's box, "Watch out now, looks like they're bringing in a ringer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And, um, some of us had to...withdraw from the game." Corey added from under another tree. "...Possibly in flaily, Charlie-Brown-like fashion." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Corey nodded. "Tried to catch and got knocked off balance. Little bit sprawly. Iiiii'm just going to sit here with my catalog now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ouch, big sisters criticizing a little brother's sporting prowess. In a lot of families, them's fighting words. "Its just a few scrapes. If you'd like to get back in the game, I can heal those for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Corey looks up at her with a 'Did somebody just ask for the basepaths to turn into quicksand?' sort of expression.

"No, s'okay, Lucas, don't need to bother." Corey sets his catalog down, gets up, after the 'hurt? What hurt?' fashion of put-upon brothers throughout the ages, and picks up a glove again. His bare feet shift into a slightly steadier stance. "I guess I'll get back in for a while."

	Cait shook her head and went back into a batter's stance. She gave it her best swing when the ball came flying toward home plate. The ball went rolling toward left field, between the third baseman and the short stop. Cait took off toward first. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lucas whistles approvingly at the hit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	While the basepath does not turn to quicksand, the ground does suddenly become very uneven as the leftfielder smirks distantly while scrambling for the ball. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait tripped and went face first into the dirt. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU DIRT BOY!" she yelled as she started crawl toward first base. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lucas shakes his head amusedly. Yeah, they match the descriptions he'd heard of the Drake line. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Worth it!" Corey called over as he threw the ball towards first base. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-05-22 05:37 am UTC (link)
	Cait scrambled toward first, but the throw got there before she did. "You won't be thinking that when I throw you in the lake and hold you under!" She was kidding. Mostly. She would never do anything to permanently hurt her brother. If she had to admit it, she liked the twerp. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I love you, too, Cait!" Corey's more open about it. "Oh, this is nothing. We've had cases of narrowly missing breaking windows on jets." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Younger brothers were such a pain in the ass. Cait walked back to the bench, brushing the dirt off her clothes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Jets?" Ok, now this might be interesting. He glances at Cait as she heads for the bench. "You ok? Pretty good spill there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Saw it happen couple years ago, someone had to fly up and catch it and it barely missed a 747. They say it wasn't the first time." The ground smooths out perfectly before the next batter goes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine," she answered. It wasn't the worst thing her bratty brother has done to her. There was that time he sunk her into the ground up to her neck and left her there for hours. There was the time when he sealed her in a cave in the pitch dark with bats for an hour or so. It was a small miracle the two of them survived their childhood. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Corey would get into the cases of accidental -- or was it 'accidental'? -- hypothermia, but they're not having this conversation out loud. "Can't say flying's much on my To Do list either, 'cept a few times with Uncle Warren when I was little; those were fun," Corey says as he prepares to...well...be a left fielder and stand there for a bit.
