Aaralyn and Thackery
" You scared me! Don't do that!" She exclaimed to the boy in front of her. She watched as the boy laughed.
"Sorry just a habit I guess. So need a bit of help?" He asked again with a smile.
Aaralyn gave a sigh and looked to the stuff in the U-haul and then back at him. " Sure. Though first may I question you for a name?" She raised her eyebrows.
" Sure. My name is Thackery Loverset. People just call me Thacks or Thackery. What's yours?" He questioned her while extending his hand.
Aaralyn smiled." Nice to meet you Thackery. My name is Aaralyn Gabriella Skylla, but just call me Aara or Aaralyn." She replied while extending her own hand and shook his hand.
Thackery smiled." Very pretty name." He paused a moment." What you need help moving in?"
Aaralyn gestured to the stuff in the back. "All this and then I need to shop for more furnature and stuff. Like kichen supplies stuff like that. I'm thinking the mall."
Thackery raised his eyebrows. " Yeesh alotta stuff there. Guess I'll be sticking around a few days." He grinned at her. She raised her eyebrows.
" Don't flatter yourself. You shouldn't feel that honored." Then a smile formed onto her face. " Though I am greatful."
Thackery chuckled and went to the side of the truck grabbing the side table. " Let's start with the moveable stuff first." He suggested, while watching Aaralyn nod.
They got all the smaller equipment in first before moving onto the harder furnature.
Thackery looked at the small bed and put his hands on his hips.
" It shouldn't be too much trouble." Aaralyn said before climbing the slanted board plate of the u-haul and getting behind the bed.
Thackery followed her up. and got in front of the bed. He looked her in the eyes. " I have a bad sense of direction so tell me where we would be going and tell me when we are backed onto the plate, alright?"
Aaralyn nodded." 1...2...3...lift."
They both lifted the bed and Aaralyn looked straight ahead, but not before Thackery lost his balence.
Aaralyn heard him slip off the metal plate.
" I told you to direct me when we were at the loading plate." He said from the ground.
Aaralyn gulped." I'm really sorry!" She exclaimed looking over and saw his left hand with a scrape across it. He looked down at it and covered his right hand across it then closed his eyes a moment. When he opened them again the scrape was gone.
Aaralyn gasped in surprise.
Thackery looked a bit panicked." I...uh...I can explain." He stuttered standing up and brushing himself off.
Aaralyn raised her eyebrows. " Are you Dathrian or Semirellian?" Her tone asked in interest.
" Dathrian...but how would you know that?" Thackery asked with wide eyes.
Aaralyn shook her head." Because I'm a semirellian. Also a bit of warning, I would suggest using your power next time a person you just met isn't around. I could have been human ya know."
Thackery raised his eyebrows." What power you got? I'm healer and atom manipulation."
Aaralyn smiled." I'm shape shifter and of course atom manipulation. Apparently my father failed to mention a few things to my mother when they were in the mood. Anyhow Thackery I apoligise about the lack of communication. Want to give it another try?"
Thackery went up the loading plank again and held his footing steady as they proceeded to go down the plank, with Aaralyn directing him. Once on the ground he stopped.
" Ok, now to your bed room right?" Thackery asked as Aaralyn nodded still standing on the loading platform.
Thackery nodded and lifted the bed with Aaralyn as they moved it to a good sized room and set it down against the wall of a far corner.
Thackery took in a deep breath before releasing it. " That was easy"
He said when Aaralyn pushed it straight then sat down on the bare matress.
" Yea...easy." Aaralyn breathed as she leant against the palm of her hands.
" Wanna sit? There's more room on the bed here." Aaralyn asked while sliding over.
Thackery smiled." Nice of you to offer. Though we have more to move so come on get up. Afterwards let me take ya to a resturant I know, a little bit down the road."
Aaralyn looked at him and then to the door." I guess. It beats the cold sandwhiches I've been having. What's the resturant anyway? What's it serve?"
Thackery smiled glad she was accepting." It's a pasta resturaunt nice quiet place. Not really that popular. Though it's decent."
Aaralyn nodded. Then got up and walked out the door leaving Thackery to stare after her before following.
" Not much of a conversationalist are you?" Thackery remarked as he went back over to the truck seeing her up on it. She glanced at him then grabbed an end table.
" Sorry. I have a lot on my mind right now Thackery. I'll try to talk a bit more." She replied while walking down the platform and past him, into the house where she put the side table down by a corner near the outlet plug.
" Perfect place for my computer." She commented walking back out and past Thackery again. Who looked at her with raised eyebrows.
Aaralyn raised her eyebrows as well." What?" She asked before grabbing her computer modem and down the platform but slipped.
Thackery reached out and caught her saving her from a fall, and the modem from being busted.
" My hero." Aaralyn commented with a smile before gaining her balence and walking past him into the house returning a few moments later. Him staring at her.
She sighed." You keep staring at me. What?" Her tone slightly annoyed.
Thackery shook his head." Nothen...you just look like you could use an ear to listen is all. What's on your mind?"
Aaralyn shrugged and attempted to walk past him again but he grabbed her arm, but very gently to stop her. She looked to him. The pain in her eyes again visible causing Thackery to raise his eyebrows.
" Nothing is wrong." She replied evenly and walked past him with a cofee table.
Thackery sighed." Alright I get the message." He stepped up on the platform joined by Aaralyn.
Soon everything was moved into the house. Aaralyn took a heavy sigh and went back outside and sat down on the u-haul. Thackery joining her a minuet later.
" Everything is settled. Wanna go to lunch now? My treat." Thackery asked standing up and putting out his hand.
Aaralyn nodded and grasped his hand jumping down and followed him to a house over. A red Osmobile was waiting outside. He went to the passengers side and opened the door.
Aaralyn hesitated but got in. Thackery closed her door and jogged to the drivers side getting in and taking out a key. He started the car and pulled out of the drive way. Towards the resturaunt.
