{name:Poster#|#picture:0} The Park is a great place to take a stroll with loved ones, or even just to walk the dog. It's full of lovely scenery, and a few adventure playground for the kids.

{name:Joelle#|#picture:2}Joelle strolled leisurely through the park, feeling the sun warm her neck. It was a beautiful day and she was glad that she had a day off work. Joelle walked towards a bench, sitting down and pulling her new book out. A friend had recomended it and she was excited to see if it was as good as they said it was. She opened the book up and began to read.

{name:Luke#|#picture:3}Luke's vacant form hung over the railings as he observed the fountain before him. Something about the endless flow of translucent water had captivated his entire being. It was then that he became increasingly aware that his social outings had waned in recent weeks, to the point where he couldn't remember the last human contact he'd had.
He was aware of people moving around him, he even noticed a young lady take a seat on the bench behind him. A bench where he'd often lounged around with friends or sat quietly enjoying some alone time. Yet none of that was a conversation, a brush of skin, or a smile at a shared joke. He really needed to get out more and mix with other people. Finding the time between job hunting, helping his family and neighbours out to earn some money, and Ice Hockey was going to be trying, but he could do it… couldn't he?
Just as he vowed to speak to the next person he saw, discomfort and shyness washed over him, leaving him with nothing but rosy cheeks and a coy smile.

{name:Joelle#|#picture:2}Joelle had read a couple pages of her book already. She went to flip to the next, when a loud bang sounded from behind her. Jumping about a foot in the air she looked behind her to see a marching band, practicing for a concert. Tuning her attention back to her book she realized a page was missing. Looking up she saw the missing page floating on a slight breeze towards the fountain. Realizing she must of accidentally torn the page out when she jumped, she jumped up to run after the page.

{name:Luke#|#picture:3}Luke felt his wave of embarrassment dissolve as the clanging of a tuneless marching band irked him fiercely. His peace had been destroyed, leaving him ready to turn around and walk back to the solitude he'd face in his room.
Or at least that had been his plan, before he saw the girl from the bench dart in his direction like a crazy person. She was intent on reaching something, so much so that she seemed to be totally oblivious to him. He watched with the beginnings of a smile on his face and she continued forward. He soon realised what she was chasing and picked up the torn paper which was floating near his feet.
"Here you go." He smiled, handing what seemed to be a torn page to the girl.

{name:Joelle#|#picture:2}"Thank you so much!" Joelle said, grateful for the stranger for grabbing her page. Taking the paper, she gave an ackward smile, not knowing if she should say more or just leave.

{name:Briar Woods#|#picture:5}Briar pulled out her braids and watched her hair frizzy up like it had helium in it. She looked around the park and hid under a tree while she fixed her hair while she saw a young man pick up a piece of paper and hand it to no other than-Joelle!
Briar walked over with a suspicious glare on her face and said "Hi."

{name:Luke#|#picture:3}The girl seemed just as uncomfortable as Luke as they stood in an awkward silence, neither sure of what to say. It was a great relief to Luke when he saw an inquisitive blonde strolling toward them. She seemed to be headed for the dark haired girl a foot away from him, and he wasn't sure he'd stand up to being interrogated by two women or in an obstinate limbo with them.
"No problem," Luke said warmly. "It looks like you've got company."
As the girl turned to check Luke made his exit, subtly and smoothly, so that when she turned around to address him, he'd be gone without any trace. Perhaps today wasn't the day to start extending social horizons. He promised himself tomorrow might be better, as he skulked out of sight and out of mind.

{name:Joelle#|#picture:2}Joelle smiled, then turned to Briar. "You have the most amazing timing!"Joelle gushed. "He rescued my book page, and it was an ackward moment! How are you?"

{name:Briar Woods#|#picture:5}"Oh gee, thanks. He was a cutie wasn't he?" I was just gonna go do some sketches....but they could wait."
Briar said holding out her sketchbook toward Joelle and squeezed her eyes shut. She was afraid of her not liking her drawings.

{name:Joelle#|#picture:2}"Yah he was quite cute," Joelle said reaching out to hold the sketchbook. "But your brother has nicer eyes." Looking down at the sketches Joelle gasped. The sketches were very well done, very detailed and beautiful. "Briar," Joelle stared, speechless. "These are...they're so...amazing!"

{name:Briar Woods#|#picture:5}"Nah. Brian eyes are a weird murky green. It reminds me of a swamp," She said in a strange tone. "Oh really? My favorite is that one I drew of the zombie eating the flower." Briar sighed in relief knowing she wasn't being yelled at.
"Did I tell you Brian is coming into town next week?" Briar said changing the subject.

{name:Joelle#|#picture:2}"His eyes are nice! There like a beautiful murky swamp! The exspecially sparkle when we....were happy. I love that sketch too!" Joelle said, then she really heard Briar's last words. "Brian's c-c-coming?" Joelle stuttered. "Like here to town? Really?"

{name:Briar Woods#|#picture:5}"Well ya, I told him you were here. I guess he's not totally over you. I didn't tell him if you were single or not," Briar rolled her eyes thinking Joelle was too pretty for him. "So are you single?"
