Skye Prower

"Any chance I could join you?" asked Skye. "Wait... what the HELL JUST HAPPENED?" "Glen, are you ok?" asked Ziona in a small voice. -------------- Mina gave a slight giggle. "You're probably right on that last point. But even if you've no affection, at least you care enough to try and comfort me." she said to Crowley. "And no need to worry about me Red. I'm sure I'll get over it."

"You have no idea how right you are," Skye muttered into his radio. "We don't have time for this," said Melody angrily. "This is a dream and we need to get out." "I don't like you," stated Ziona huffily. "I'm gonna find Zave and Daddy and we're gonna go and do fun stuff. I'll leave you boring grown-ups to your boring grown-up stuff." ------------------ "I... see..." said Mina, head bowed and somewhat crushed.

"Don't be silly," laughed Ziona. "Of course this is real!" "Oh no," muttered Skye. "If this was real, shouldn't we be all standing sideways compared to you?" pointed out Melody. "Huh, you mean you're not from No-Zone? Wow, were are you from? What's it like?" Ziona asked, missing the point Melody was trying to make. --------------- "Well, Crowley I could understand," Mina sighed, "but okay, I'll grant you I don't wanna give up the job, but what makes you think I wouldn't want the rest?"

"Sure thing Glen. That fox looks kinda funny with two tails. Rather nice though." Ziona's words put Skye even more off his stride. "I, uh, well, you see, this world...." Skye made the mistake of looking Ziona in the eye. "Gah, I can't do this." ------------- Mina looked embarrassed at a little humiliated at Red's impression. "Why do I get the feeling I was actually worse than that? And I didn't mean a one-night stand. I was thinking more long term...". she replied, still whispering

""A nice place... which means you think... uh..." Skye glanced around him looking for help to break the news. ---------------------- "Sorry, I didn't mean to be quite so... so... uh, um... whatever I was," Mina apologised, not able to look Crowley in the eye. She took a few steps back towards Red. "Do you think he and I could ever...?" she whispered into Red's ear.

"I, uh, er, guess I should let go now..." stammered Mina as she broke off the hug.

Mina kept hugging Crowley ecstatically, looking like she'd need to be prised off.

"I'm okay. It's better already, thanks Hope," replied Melody. "Just sore, that's all." --------------- Mina gave a little squeak of excitement, then jumped towards Crowley, hugging him as hard as she could. "Thank you!" she exclaimed.

"Dy dongue! Dust dit dit," Melody tried to say to Hope. She grabbed one of the nearby sweets and started sucking on it. "Dat's detter." "Uh, well," Skye began in answer to Glen's question. "Um, what do you make of this world?" he asked guardedly. Ziona cocked her head, slightly confused, but decided there were more important matters. "Wanna play tag?" she asked the younger members of the group. ----------------------- "I'll be good," Mina replied meekly to both Red and Crowley. "I'll only do it if he wants me to."

"Nah, sorry," said Ziona, "I just can't remember your names at all. I guess you might be friends of Daddy's from work or something?" she suggested. "Uh, sorry Dad. But given the circumstances..." Skye replied. Melody also returned to the group, and remarkably, was able to stop herself swearing. However, it did result in her biting her tongue, and she let out a little yelp of pain. -------------- Mina jumped as Red took her by the shoulder. "I... but... Me... I... I wasn't planning anything!" Mina tried to lie, blushing again.

"You do know me...? Don't tell me your names, I'm sure I'll remember in a sec... uh... ummm...." Ziona seemed at a loss to remember as Skye walked over. "Holy &"$%! You weren't kidding Dylan." ------------ Having heard what Shadow said, Mina seemed to be torn between doing just that and holding herself back.

"Good to have your eye's around Dylan. But we'll probably need to pick you up before we can leave. Hold on, I think there's some commotion over there." "Huh, sorry, sorry, sorry," said Ziona to Tikal and Locke rather breathlessly, "but I gotta keep running before... Hey, wait, you two seem kinda familiar. Have we met?" ----------------- "Are you kidding?" replied Mina, seemingly completely oblivious to Shadow's reaction. "My best friend is friends with Crowley. This. Is. AWESOME!" she squealed.

"I looks like a sweet shop," siad Skye as he started walking around, then picked up the radio. "Darn, sorry Dylan but it's a bit late to check. Given we are talking about three assassins and a secret agent though, i'd be amazed if they didn't have at least one radio between them." Melody also began exploring, trying to find the missing two. ------------ "Oh wow wow wow wow wow! This is even better than the dream was!" ------------ "Doesn't matter, you still haven't caught me yet," said Ziona as she sprinted off again. She went at full speed down a couple of aisles and turned to look behind. Distracted, she ran at full speed into Tikal.

"You're probably right Dylan, but so far the dream hasn't stopped us moving or meeting up, and those four can move pretty fast," said Skye, still walking as the world began to shift. -------------- "You ARE friends?" Mina clasped her hands together under her chin and let out what could have been a 'sqee'! ------------- "Again? What'cha mean? I've just tripped you once"

"Yeah, sounds good. I'm a little scared about what's happening here," said Skye. ------------- "Reeeeeeeed!" I'm.... I'm... not blushing! Wait a sec.... they way you're talking... Are you friends with Crowley, Red?" ------------ "Oh no you don't!" screamed Ziona as she bolted from her hiding place, falling for Glen's trick.

"I, uh, well... maybe I can... I never really tried...." Mina almost stammered.

Skye shot Tikal a 'what are you talking about?' look then turned to Locke. "Dylan said something about a party. But if we just start walking we should find them," Skye explained, and began walking forward. "Oh, NoNoNoNoNoNo! I'm not doing that Red. There's no way I'm gonna mimic my Prime Zone counterpart. Besides, I can't sing." --------------- Ziona giggled silently as she hid. Picking up a wrapped sweet on the floor, the through it over under another display, hoping to lead Glen on the wrong track.

"As well as Dylan, I think it's only Glen and Ziona left to find," said Melody.

"Are you saying I'm immature Tikal?" asked Skye, eyebrow raised, as Melody also started giggling. "Hmm, you could be right Red. Maybe I like the thrill of the spotlight a bit too much," Mina pondered. ----------------- "I won't fall! You just be careful not to crash into anything," she yelled in reply as she ducked underneath a display.

"Here we are, talking about MOM being immature," said Skye with disbelief. "I suppose you do Red. You've managed to make a rep for yourself. I'm still building mine," Mina replied to her friend. ------------------ "You can't catch me, you can't catch me," squealed Ziona as she ducked an weaved through the aisles.

"Well, she has to grow out of it," replied Melody to Tikal. "She seemed normal enough when she hired Crowley in the future." "Funny, and had time not been important we might never have met here," Mina said to Crowley, almost blocking Shadow off. "But you need to advertise a little Red, otherwise people don't know how to hire you. And, I think that's the first time I could tell you were being sarcastic." "I hope the 'growing out of it' happens soon," said Skye. "Like in the next two minutes..." -------------------- "Bet you can't catch me though!" Ziona challenged Glen, sticking her tongue out and sprinting away.

"Oh, not gloating during a hit. But afterwords, preferably in some way that they can't strike back," Mina replied to Red. "Wow, so you work jobs in TWO Zones?," Mina responded to Crowley. "You know, if your working with Shadow, I'm amazed he didn't get you to do his little Zone Cop job. You'd have done it far better than I did!" "Okay, seeing her like this is actually a little creepy," murmured Skye. (ooc: Suddenly another reason for Mina wanting Shadow's powers has sprung into my head. 'Look, Crowley, look! I'm the same colour as you and can do what you can do!' :wacko: ) -------------- "Hey, you're not planning to chase me round the shop are you?"

"Oh, it's always fun when that happens and we can rub it in their faces," Mina replied to Red, then turned back to Crowley. "Ah, so that's why you're so hard to find. You spend all you time here! It makes so much sense. That's a brilliant idea!" Melody and Skye looked at each other. "Is Mom seriously fan-girling over Crowley?" muttered Melody. -------------------- "Hey, no need to poke me Glen. I might wanna buy the whole shop after all!"

"Thanks," Skye quietly replied. Mina seemed not to quite hear or take in Red's reply, still paying attention to Crowley. "Are you kidding!" Mina exclaimed. "Well, actually, of course not. For many people seeing you would mean them dying swiftly afterwards. But among assassins, wow, I, uh, I mean, you're a legend!" Mina then processed what Red had said. "New light? Yeah, these do-gooders get all the breaks." -------------- "Well, I want this, and this, and this, and....." Ziona's actions and speech began to become slightly repetitive.

That's the first proper look I've had at all the new designs that hasn't been obscured or cluttered, and I have to say I think they actually look pretty good (cgi differences taken into account). I'd prefer it of Antoine still had his uniform, but that's from a character point of view rather than an appearance one.
