Gone.With.The.Wind [[Nikita/Open]]

[Louis William Horan]

"Another day at the park, huh Pips?" The brunet asked the cockatoo that was perching on his shoulder. "Yes" The bird squawked in reply about his comment. He grave a small grin as he was walking around the Green Hill park. The first, or second, place he has gone to since he came to Willow Creek. He went to his room to unpack before he came here. He sat on the grass under the shade of an oak tree. He brushed the grass against his fingers as he leaned his head against the trunk. The cockatoo flew off Louis's shoulder and perched on a nearby branch. "Just don't fly away where I can't see you.." He said towards Pips as the bird looked around the park.

Louis looked around as well, it seemed quiet, a bit too quiet. He wondered where everyone was. Probably just going on a trail ride with their horses. He just shrugged and closed his eyes and relaxed. He opened one eye, and then the other one as he heard other footsteps coming towards the park. He heard a squawk and looked up towards Pips. "A girl.." The cockatoo spoke. Louis saw the girl too. She seemed younger then he was, but right now he didn't care. He wondered if the girl spotted him and Pips and is coming over to meet them.

With a sigh, Nikita unsnapped the leash of her hyper Austrailan sherperd dog before watching as Ace took off at a dead run, barking happliy. It was the first time since she had gotten here that Ace was able to go for a good run. Only had been here for a few days, Nik hadn't met or talked to anyone. She winced, that wasn't actually true. She thought about her younger twin sister and the boy who she had met in the stables. Nikita smiled to herself, thinking about how Audie and Kevin had gotten along very well. She would have to mention that to her sister, when she got back to her room. Nik looked around the park, noticing a boy sitting on the ground under the huge oak tree. Her light blue eyes studied him before looking back and frowning. She scanned the area before squealing as she felt a nip at her heels. A bark broke her concentation as Ace nipped at her heels like the herding dog she was. " Ace! Cut that out!" She sternly warned the dog, trying not to smile. Ace winced before looking over at the oak tree and barking. "Ace!" Nikita called as her brown and white dog bounded towards the boy. She groaned before racing after her dog.

Louis studied her closely as he saw her race towards them. A bark made him break back towards reality. He looked at the brown and white dog was bounding towards them. He smiled as he reached out a hand to pet the dog. As he saw the girl get closer he kenw the dog must be hers. "This your dog?" He asked with a small grin. 'Bad Dog.' A squawk came from the tree. Louis shot a look towards Pips. "Pips, be nice to others, would you?" He spoke sternly to the parrot. The dog was pretty cute. Yes Louis, has a soft side for animals.

He then looked back up at the girl. "Cute dog.." She commented as she stopped petting the her. He then whistled softly to Pips and the bird flew back down and perched on his shoulder once again. He grinned at the cockatoo and then looked back at the girl once more. "I'm Louis" She introduced himself. He listened for her replies and hoped she would introduce herself as well.

[Nikita French]

" Yeah, I'm so sorry about her, she just loves people..." Nikita smiled kindly at the boy before jerking backwards, hearing a "Bad dog" squawk from the branch above. She looked up and laughed as she saw a Parrot. She chuckled as the boy shot a look at his bird. Ace looked up at the branch and tilted her head, looking very confused, before barking at the parrot."Ace..." Nik warned her dog.

"Thanks... Cute bird... Parrot , right?" She smiled, studing the bird. Her parents being zoologist, she should know this. Nikita smiled before introducing herself," Nice to meet you, Louis. I'm Nikita..." She smiled quietly at the boy. Light blue eyes shone in the sun as Nikita studied the boy (Quite handsome, she could say honestly,).

[Louis William Horan]

"Nah, it's ok... I love dogs.." He responded to her comment about her dog loving to meet people. He glanced at the dog as it tilted its head before barking at Pips. He laughed softly as the girl warned her dog.

"Thank you.." The cockatoo replied to her comment about her and squawked at the dog. "No, cockatoo..' He corrected her, hoping she didn't mind. He then smiled towards her as she introduced herself. "It's nice to meet you too, Nikita, unique name by the way.." He answered with another grin. Pips squawked. "I'm Pips.." The bird introduced herself and Louis let out a small laugh. "And yes, this is Pips.. The cockatoo that is learning manners.." He said and a small joking grin.

[Nikita French]

Nikita laughed as Ace barked at the cockatoo, jumping into a playing stance before taking off. " He isn't going to play with you, Ace..." Nikita called after her dog, refering to the cockatoo before sighing and shaking her head.

Nikita snapped her fingers," Darn it, I should have known... Sorry," She appoligized, a blush creeping onto her face. ' Well done Nik, Very well done, just brilliant...' She mentally growled at herself. The boy spoke again, causing Nik to drag herself out of her mental rambling and pay attention. " It's nice to meet you too, Nikita, unique name by the way.." Nikita smiled,"Thanks, I was actually suppose to be a boy, but when I was born, along with my twin sister, My parents had to change it to something more feminime..." Nikita shrugged, She wasn't one to care about how the docter messed up, thinking she was a boy. She laughed as the cockatoo introduced himself as Pips and then at Louis's comment,"Well, It's an hounor to meet you, Pips..."

[Louis William Horan]

He chuckled as the dog jumped into a playing stance before taking off. He then looked over to Nikita as she commented to the dog. The cockatoo just squawked again towards the dog before spreading out his wings and closing them back in. "Pips, stop showing off your wings.." He said softly to the bird with a small laugh.

He just shrugged as she apologized and spotted a blush creeping onto her face. "Hey, we ain't all perfect.." He said with another grin. He looked over to Nikita and focused his attention to her as she spoke about why her parents gave her the name. He shrugged along with her. "Some doctor.." He commented with a joking laugh. He chuckled softly as she answered to Pips' comment.

[Nikita French]

Nikita smiled as Pips started to show off his wings. Nik looked over at her dog, who was watching them closely from a distance. " Ace, come..." Nikita smiled as her dog barked before trotting over.

" Yeah I guess... She sighed but shrugged, agreeing with him.She laughed before nodding at Louis's comment about the doctor. Nikita patted her Austrailian sherperd gently before looking up at Louis.

" Do you have any other pets? Other then the wonderful Pips?" She joked, a smile crossing her face.

[Louis William Horan]

Louis grinned as he looked over to Nikita's dog who was watching Pips showing off his wings. He laughed softly again as Nikita spoke to Ace and watched the dog bark and trot over.

He shrugged along with her. Everyone makes mistakes, even doctors. Yet usually they're suppose to get it right that Nikita is actually a girl, not a boy. Yet he still doesn't get how the doctor could make that mistake. He just shrugged the thought away as he looked back over to Nikita.

"Nah, Pips is all I got, what about you?" He answered as he turned the question back over to her adding another one of his smiles.

[Nikita French]

" Just Ace, unless you're counting My horse, Abikanile..."[\color] Nikita smiled with a nod. She was happy to actually talk to someone who wasn't her sister or a teacher. She had a hard time making friends, because she could get quite shy and keep to herself. She wasn't too sure why, but she enjoyed Louis's company. Ace barked at Pips, her chocolate brown eyes trained on the cockatoo. Nikita rubbed her dog's head before looking at Louis with a smile.
