But if I never get to heaven

[Madeline Carter]

Skipping over the bleachers, Mads hoisted herself over the various benches as her eyes travelled over the grass covered field below. Her lips tugged upwards into a smirk as she recognized the pair of blonde heads she had been looking for. She didn't know the Emory twins all that well, considering they had only been around for a short amount of time, but they seemed to share the same mischievous nature that she did; Or, at least that's what Mads told herself anyways.

With both her hands locked around the railing, Mads arched her back and lowered her body until she could slide her body through the holes of the railing. Kicking off, the blonde dropped down on the ground below.

Clapping her hands together to brush off the dirt from her hands, Mads rose back on her feet and jogged towards the brothers she had found a form of kinship with.

Once there, she slung herself over the nearest boy; She had absolutely no idea which was which, as she hadn't learned to tell them apart just yet. Not that it really mattered anyways. Lifting her hands to cover the younger boy's eyes, Mads leaned over his shoulder and grinned at his brother, "What's up assfaces?" she cooed cheerfully as she dropped her hands. Still hanging over the boy's back, unless he pushed her off, Mads licked her lower lip.

"Ye two sure ain't easy to find; How are y'all gonna entertain me if I can't find ye?" she added with a chuckle.

With that, Mads slid down to the ground and rolled onto her back. Moving her gaze towards the sky, the blonde pursed her lips. "If I wasn't so awesome, I'd almost think ye guys were avoidin' me, but come on, that's not possible." 

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

Casper and Jasper had been out at the training fields, not training with their power this time, well at least not outright. They were busy kicking a soccer ball back and forth to one another, having found that they really liked soccer a lot. They had played something like soccer back at the circus, but more so with them just kicking it back to one another and doing tricks while they would pass it back and forth. still, because they enjoyed it they took an interest in signing up for the sport but since they never actually played it before they figured they try and get some practice in. however, practice turned into a game and they were not just kicking the ball around to one another doing little tricks and an added touch to their passing the ball back and forth to one another. They had not even noticed Mads approaching and since they were still working on getting to know the girl that they had hit it off with pretty well, they could not outright use one of their sense to pick up that she was coming over towards them.

Jasper did spot her just as she started to jog close to them and ended up jumping up on Casper's back he stumbled just a little since he had been working on kicking the ball. Only to have his eyes covered and missing the ball. That greeting, so like her, even if they only knew her a little bit. "Nothing much..." Jasper responded wanting to have a good comeback for the girl but could not think of anything. "I don't think you can come up with a good one back brother." Casper teased as he was allowed to see and glanced over his shoulder a little at Mads who let out a coo and licked her lower lip. Jasper rolled his eyes but chuckled as Mads said that they were not easy to find and that they could not entrain her if she could not find them. "Can't find two look alike pale boys with really light blonde hair?" Jasper asked with a smirk, kicking the ball up in the air, before sending it hurling in Casper and her direction. Mads got off Casper back however and was on her back on the ground.

Casper blocking the ball and gave his brother a look for kicking the ball so hard but then gestured with his head towards Mads who seemed to be cloud watching. "Impossible for sure." The twins said together as Jasper made his way over and sat down on the ground on one side of Mads while Casper went to get the ball before he would sit on the other side of her. "How many tattoos do you got?" Jasper asked, since he and his brother had a few, but she clearly looked like she was beating them in that department and they had yet to outright ask about the tattoos, just complimented them in the past.

[Madeline Carter]

Pursing her lips, Mads chuckled, "Ya ain't that extraordinary, boys," she fired back with a smirk. Besides, Bellefonte had its fair share of twins hanging around as it was. Regardless of skin and hair color, finding two people when you didn't really know where they hung out wasn't easy. Unless you had the power to do so, of course, which made Mads want to befriend someone like that, just so she could use their power for her own personal gain. Ack, well. It didn't matter now as she had found them and all was well.

Arching her eyebrow as both boys sat down on each side of her, the blonde propped herself up on her elbow. Lifting one arm to show off her upper arm, left wrist and rib tattoo, Mads smirked before lifting her foot to display the tree on her left thigh. She then lifted her left arm to show off the spider tattoo she had on the back of her upper arm. Once lowering her hand again, the blonde pulled her shirt up to show off the tattoo on her stomach. Smirking, Mads shook her head before sitting up and pulling up her shirt so she could show off her last, but biggest piece; her back tattoo.

"That's how many," she chuckled as she lowered her shirt again. Leaning her elbows against her naked knees, the blonde bit her lower lip, "Ya still got a long way to go, children," she teased. She was proud of her artwork, and even though she'd grow up one day and end up regretting them, she didn't really care. As long as she liked them know, that was what mattered.

And Mads wasn't exactly shy, so showing them off wasn't a problem at all.

Leaning back again, the blonde stretched her arms as she lazily rested her head against the soft surface of the field; Mads loved summer. The smell, the fresh air, the sounds and ugh, the sun. It was the best feeling in the world. "Hey, I was thinkin' we should go to the lake and hold some kind of a party; It would be a great way for the two of ya to show off your... Tricks," Mads smirked.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"That’s not what people thought of us at the circus." Jasper pointed out, having some pride that they had fans and even posters of themselves from shows. She did have a point; there were other twins and a lot of students. Plus the campus was pretty big and since the boys were still sort of sticking to themselves they would not be where the biggest crowd was at the moment. They wanted to, because they loved to give a whole show and show off what they could do. It was just different when before it was your job to do something and you were being paid for it. Compared to people being fellow students with equally cool or even cooler powers then your own. Still they would be more so showing off their magic then they would of their prime skills. Their prime skills would just add to it was all.

Mads lifted herself up then and was showing off her tattoos to them. The detail was pretty good and the concept was interesting. Casper reaching his hand out as if he was going to touch her arm, but was more so tracing the outlines of the art work on her upper arm and wrist. Both the boys had an appreciation for tattoo and thought so long as they had a meaning then they were not a waste of money or distorting the body. Plus they knew a guy whose entire body was covered in tattoo; every part of his body, and he had been the one to give the boys a few as well as their lip piercing. Casper was busy counting the number of tattoos while Jasper was more or less just staring at the body the tattoos were one. Wondering how it felt for the person who had given her the tattoo. The boys missed the smirk since they were distracted by the fact that she was lifting up her shirt. "Oh, did that one hurt?" Casper asked as Mads lifted up her shirt to reveal the one that was on her stomach, wondering just how far down it went and his eyes for sure were dropping down to lower parts of her body for a moment.

Then the shirt went up even more to reveal that tattoo on her back. "A mirror." The Emory boys said the words in unison together. I like to see my reflection in that. Jasper thought to himself as Casper was trying to total them all up and was already sure that she had beat them. "You have a lot and we are hardly children. You are what...a year older than us?" Jasper asked with a smirk, his eyes still looking more so at her body and less at her eyes until Casper cleared his throat. Someone had to have some sort of manners around here, but he only cleared his throat after having a nice long look himself. "We will have to get another one soon brother." Casper pointed out and both boys were watching as Mads lay back on the ground in a comfortable state. Jasper staring and thinking so many things while Casper showed so more self-control and played with his shoe laces. Then the suggestion, or more so a plan. Go to the lake for some kind of party and put on a show. That actually sounded like a good idea.

"What’s in it for you?" Both boys asked because what was Mads getting out of this little party show idea. Would she join them in the show as well? Casper was already pulling out a deck of cards to start shuffling as Jasper was still more so stuck on the tattoos and Mads body still. "Which one hurt the most?" Jasper asked, since Casper only asked about the stomach but other places could have been more sensitive, which would have been good to know about. Those sensitive areas.

[Madeline Carter]

Moving her eyes to the tattoo on her stomach, Mads shrugged, "A bit, yeah," she drawled. Even though the ones on her ribs were the smallest ones, they had definitely been the ones that had hurt the most. Probably because instead of being tattooed against pure skin, it had been directly on the bone. She didn't notice - or maybe she didn't mind - the fact that the boys were more or less eye googling her body.

"Yes," she said quickly, "But a year between a boy and a girl can be a lot," she pointed out with a smirk; No, she didn't think she was more mature than them. If anything, Mads was childish and wild, and she loved that about herself. She was never going to stop and pretend to be something she wasn't. "What are you planning on getting?" she asked, even though the comment hadn't been directed towards her. After all, Mads wasn't exactly known for minding her own business, nor being polite, so there was that.

Snickering a little as they asked what was in it for her, the blonde shrugged, "A good time?" she attempted with a innocent smile, "Why do I have to gain somethin'?" Sure, Mads wasn't one to do charity, so she didn't blame them for thinking she wanted something, but in fact, the party itself was a good enough idea for her to be content with that.

Leaning up, Mads turned her attention to the brother that asked about which tattoo that hurt more than the others. Pursing her lips, the blonde shifted her position so that she sat closer to the brother that had asked. Lifting her shirt, she pressed the cloth between her teeth to keep it up. Pointing at the two tattoos right below the line of her bra, Mads moved her eyes from the ink to the boy in front of her. Dropping her shirt, a mischievous expressed splayed over the blonde's features, "The one on my back was pretty painful too, but," she trailed off and turned to look at the other brother over her shoulder, "The stomach one was pretty bad. Ya know, the further down, the more it hurt," she said, shrugging.

Turning to face the boy in front of her again, Madeline tilted her head to the side, "Maybe ya will find out someday," she whispered and tossed a wink at the younger boy.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"Plus remember that The Rubber Woman said that girls mature faster than boys." Casper added after Mad's words about how a year between a girl and a boy could be a lot. It was true was it not? Mads didn't really actually act like she was some adult and seemed to be more so on the level of the boys, if more so teasing and possibly flirting? They boys did know what flirting was, they were not without experience in such things, but well they had never actually seen a girl or a boy past just one day. Most people didn't come to every show that would take place for a week before the group would move onto their next destination, so they interactions were always squished into a day. This fact was possibly why Jasper already felt so eager immediately after Mads had lifted her shirt up a little. What were they planning on getting? Oh right tattoos.

"We were thinking Letter on our fingers. Not sure past that." Casper admitted since they had not thought too hard on it yet. They had the one that on their shoulders that they liked the best and was their first one. They wanted more, but had not thought on it too much since there were other things to think about. Neither of the boys were bothered that she asked in the first place since they had a habit of talking to just one another when they were also talking to someone else. Mads was like one of their toys in their mind, someone they could play with. Yet, it was starting to feel like she was doing more of the playing with them. She gave a simple shrug and said that she was looking for just a good time and then asked why did she have to gain something. "Everyone wants something out of someone. No one just has a person around just because, even liking their company is a form of wanting something, right?" Jasper asked sounding a bit unsure so he looked over to his brother who gave a simple nod.

Jasper went completely still for a moment as Mads seemed to be focused on him, moving closer and lifting up her shirt yet again. Jasper's eyes already looking down and staring at where she was pointing and a little bit up from that. Jasper didn't even notice that Mads looks at him and didn't blink until the shirt fell back down. Jasper was at a loss for words for a moment and Casper was about to say something until Mads was talking to him and was saying things that were getting him to feel like it was a little too warm outside. "Lucky guy who got to do the one on your stomach, especially the further down it went." Casper said her breathing a little ragger for a moment and he reached into his pants to find his inhaler. Jasper still breathing pretty hard himself and was likely to end up just having an attack as Mads whispered at him about possibly finding out someday and a wink. "I like that. Casper would too." Jasper said because no way would he leave his brother hanging, he might get jealous sometimes, but Mads was giving him more attention so he was feeling pretty good.

"Not everyone can handle a package deal." Casper pointed out as he took a puff if his inhaler and put it away. Then went back to shuffling the cards. "Pick a card, any card." Casper said as he held the cards out for Mads to pick one. Jasper still more or less having his eyes wonders over the girl before focusing on the trick since he played a part in it as well.

[Madeline Carter]

"Letters, eh? That sounds pretty cool," Mads nodded. Then again, she found most tattoos to be cool, regardless of where they were. And befriending someone with the same love for them as her, well, it was sort of nice, actually. Turning her attention back towards the other boy, Mads chuckled, "Oh yeah? And what is it that you want then?" Since he claimed everyone wanted something, even Mads had to admit that it made her a little bit curious. A playful smirk formed on her lips as she ran a hand through her hair. 

The blonde's smirk grew at the younger boy's reaction, but she was drawn to the other's voice as he spoke, "Ya sure don't hide yer intentions, do you?" Mads chuckled. She was amused by the twins, that much went without saying. At least now she knew which was which, which Mads considered to be progress; The way she saw it, was that Casper was the more reserved and mellow one, whereas Jasper was the curious one. She had to keep that in mind for sure. "I see," Mads nodded; The smirk still splayed on her lips.

"I'm not everyone," Mads pointed out. She had no issues with them 'sharing' or whatever it was they were hinting it. It only meant she'd get more fun out of it, but then again, it smelled like a lot of drama, so she wasn't quite sure what to think of it. With a sigh, Mads leaned to the side and locked eyes with the deck of cards. Reaching her hand out, she bit her lower lip before finally pointing at one of the cards, "That one," she said with a determined nod.

"So, you guys share everything? she asked curiously as she gazed between the two boys. "How does that even work? I mean, don't it get... Dramatic?" She had never been one to share much herself; She wasn't a jealous person, or so she thought anyways. But then again, the concept of love, sex and flirting was new to her. After all, she didn't have much experience on the field, but from what they said, it almost sounded as if someone wanted one of them, they had to do with both.

It was almost a little cute... Although, strange. It made her even more curious, and egged her on to finding out even more about the duo.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"Question is does each letter count as a tattoo then?" Casper asked after Mads said that it was cool, honestly curious. They likes tattoos and understood how they more or less worked to end up a permanent mark on your skin, but they didn't know like terms or standards to what counted as one tattoo and if they were going to try and get even close to how many Mads had, well it was important to know that. The question of what he wanted had Jasper smirking as he glanced over to his brother before speaking. "Well right now I want to find out whose name you would call out more." Jasper admitted being the one who gave more into his feelings a little quicker and easier than his brother Casper did. Casper had always said that was because Jasper didn't try to have self-control which would end up biting him in the butt. The only reason why Jasper was not super bad as he could be was because he had Casper who would pull him a back a little bit. Which Casper did now by just giving his bother a look with his grey eyes.

"Knowing our actual intentions would be an achievement." Casper responded, basically saying that even if they were saying something was what they wanted, that did not mean that was actually what they were really trying to get to. Life was their game after all and Mads was one of their toys in it so she was going to have to deal with them playing with her for a little bit before she might get close to finding out their real intentions. Mads still wore a smirk on her face and then pointed out that she was not everyone which had both the boys smirking now and exchanging a look between one another once more. Almost as if they were having their own little conversation and they were, just not within one another’s mind since that was not their power. Jasper reached out for the card when Mads picked it, showing it to her but not Casper. It was an Ace of Spades. Casper closed his eyes and looked away, allowing Jasper to add the card back to the deck and shuffle them then. There was another question then about if they shared everything.

"We share almost everything. I can promise you we don't swap the underwear we are wearing with each other." Jasper pointed out as Casper muttered something about how that didn't stop Jasper from taking the cleans ones from Casper's supply. "Everything for us was a onetime thing so there had never been a need to be dramatic or fight. We did each have our fun with separate people before and I didn't share a person with Casper before and he did the same." Jasper went on to say, thinking back onto it, since it didn't happen that long ago. "I get jealous sometimes, but Casper is hard to get into a fight when he is just..." Jasper gestured as his brother who glanced at him and held out the deck again. "Pick another card and pull it out of the deck." Capser directed Mads to do as Jasper sat back and watched now with a smile appearing back on his face. This card would be a Four of Hearts.

"Are you interested to find out?" Both the boys asked the same time as they looked at Mads with a smile on their faces. It was hard for Jasper to fully explain but even when they had a fight or didn't want to share something, things would just work out. Casper was just so easy to work with and he didn't get mad too often so when Jasper would get mad at him sometimes the anger would get worse but it would just die down after a moment or two. At the end of the day all they had was each other after all and no male or female should get in the way of that.

[Madeline Carter]

"That's up to the person bearin' the tattoo," Mads said. Did it really matter? She didn't think so, but then again, it came down to the matter of opinions, just like she had pointed out. However, she wasn't granted much time to think about it when one of the twins spoke again. Smirking, the blonde chuckled before nodding, "Ah, yes," she said with a grin, "Of course yer mind would travel there," she winked.

"But then again, like yer brother said; Knowing my intentions would be an achievement, and I suppose that goes for my deep. Dark. Secrets. As well," she said slowly. If they weren't going to feed her information, neither would she. Where was the fun in giving and never receiving? Exactly. She could play the same game as they could, if that was what they wanted. Turning her attention back towards the trick, Mads watched closely as he moved the cards; She didn't know exactly what the trick was going to achieve, but she didn't mind biting on the bait either. After all, she had always found their... Talents intriguing.

As Jasper started speaking, the blonde shifted her attention from the deck of cards to the boy; Arching her eyebrow as he continued to speak. "I see," she said silently, rubbing the back of her neck as she nodded slowly; So, if they had never been ones to share, how did they expect to suddenly start now? Ack, well. It wasn't really her issue in the end. It was their choice, after all, and said choice had nothing to do with her. Not really, anyways. Besides, they did sort of offer.

However, ask Casper spoke, Mads shifted her gaze back at him; This felt like an endless change between looking from one boy to the other. It was... Amusing. Reaching her hand out, Madeline pulled out a card. Without looking at it, she pursed her lips, "Am I supposed to look at it?" she asked.

Smirking, Madeline leaned back on her elbows. Splaying her fingers on the ground, she watched the grass between her fingers before cocking her head to the side, "Oh dear, boy," she said, the tone of her voice obviously amused, "Ya didn't think it would be that easy?" she asked and lifted her gaze; A devilish gleam appeared in her eyes, "Ya'll gotta work harder than that; A few charmin' words and some neat tricks won't get you anythin' loves," she added with a giggle.

With that, the blonde pushed herself up in a standing position. Gazing towards the forest and the trail leading to the lake, Mads rolled her shoulders, "Tis rather hot today, don't ya think?" Covering her forehead with her hand, she gazed upwards towards the sky, "I think ya boys need to cool yerself down a little." With that, she turned around and started walking towards the forest edge.

Regardless of them following or not, she sure as hell was going to get some swimming done. What was the point in having a huge lake nearby if they weren't gonna use it?

Turning and walking backwards, Madeline smirked, "Unless yer too afraid, of course."

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

Casper nodded, that made sense. It was the wearers tattoo after all so that sort of their call what they counted it as. Yet they would be competing with Mads in a way so there what she counted as a separate tattoo was what mattered. For now however that was for another time then since they had a trick to do and Casper and Jasper both liked getting a trick done after all. Jasper gave a small shrug with Mads said of course his mind would go there and winked at him. "I blame you for that. Teasing me with such sights and playful words." Jasper responded back and he was going to stand firm that it was Mads fault that his mind was where it was. Casper's mind was there too, the only difference was he didn't say anything about it. He played it smart or as Jasper saw it 'safe'. Casper and Jasper both smirked as Mads clearly seemed up for playing their little game with them. Hiding things and leaving things a mysterious then. She was indeed going to be a very fun toy of theirs.

The trick was near its end either way; there were just a few small parts that were left to it. Mads just had to play along. There had seemed to be a little bit of confusion on Mads part from the way Jasper had explained it. Their English was not yet perfect in terms of sentence structure, but he thought he had said everything correctly. It was for another time however to figure out if Mads understood what he had been saying it if he had said it wrong and been at fault for confusing the girl. That was why Jasper left Casper to do the explaining of things. As Mads would look back and forth the boys wondered if she would end up getting them confused at any point since they looked exactly the same. Almost on an eerie level and them even got their tattoos in the same spot and done by the same person to make sure that every detail was similar. "You can, but it’s not your card." Casper said in a simple manner as Jasper reached out to snag the card from Mads hands and placed the card against her lips. If she didn't move away he would move in to kiss the other side of the card while it was still pressed against her lips.

Jasper then would remove the card from Mads lips and show it to her. It would still not be her card and he would be smirking as he handed the card back over to his brother who added it back to the deck and shuffled it. "Lift up your shirt." Casper said to Mads and if she did she would find the first card that she had picked would be slightly tucked under the edge of her bra near the tattoo that she had pointed out to Jasper. Both brothers saying nothing now and just smirking. "We know. It would be boring if it was that easy. If you were too easy." The brother said together to Mads words about how they were going to have to do better than that if they expected to get anything out of Mads. Sweet words and tricks were just like ice breakers, they knew that it too more than that if you wanted to get something out of someone that was not easy and Mads was not easy in their eyes. Not yet anyways.

Mads was then standing after a moment, looking at the forest and then pointed out how hot it was. The boys naturally agreed but they did not mind it too much since they would have to deal with their mobile trailer home losing its AC for a while and having to deal with the heat. Mads thought they needed to cool themselves off a little, which was sort of true; especially for Jasper, after Mads had teased him so. She didn't even give them a moment to rise to their feet as she started to walk off, the boys sharing a glance at one another. Was it wise for them to go off with her into the woods? The woods were not scary but it was yet again a place they had not been before without the circus. They were thinking about letting Mads go off to have her fun but then there was a challenge that had the boys standing up.

Yes they were afraid in a way, but no way were they going to admit that and there was no way they were going to let Mads 'win' this. They moved to follow after her, catching up easily and now had a plan. She issued a challenge and they were going to get her back. Both boys wonder just how high they could through the girl up into the air to land into the like by using their power.

[Madeline Carter]

Madeline remained perfectly still as the card was placed against her lips. Even when Jasper moved in, she didn't move. She had to bite down on her tongue though, to prevent herself from smirking and making the card fall. It was amusing that the younger boy made such a bold move, that could easily be waved off as being innocent; It was obvious that Mads had to step up her game if she wanted to keep up with the more daring of the two.

When she was ordered to lift her shirt, the blonde did so. Peeking down, a grin formed on her lips as she noticed the card. Reaching for it, she placed it between her index and long finger, "Not bad," she chuckled, obviously impressed. "And yeah, I know what ya mean," she drawled, "It's more fun when ya get somethin' ya have earned," she nodded. She was like that too. She didn't like getting everything handed over like a princess; No, the fun was in working for something, and the harder you worked, the better the reward would feel.

Despite their hesitation, Mads was glad the twins decided to follow her; Of course, it was blatantly obvious it was her dare that had done the trick, but she wasn't about to ruin the fun with pointing that out. Despite the obvious competitive relationship going on between the three, Madeline did enjoy the twin's company, and quite honestly, she didn't really care what made them follow as long as they did.

Walking through the forest didn't take long at all, and once the trio reached the clearing, the blonde skipped forward until she stood outside the small boathouse. Turning around so that she was facing the water, she clapped her hands together. Swimming and being around this place made her feel like a little girl again, and the excitement was obvious on her face as she stepped closer to the water. She wondered whether it was warm enough to swim in.

She'd rather not end up getting sick. That would have sucked. Especially since it was summer. No one wanted to be sick during summer.

Moving her hands to her hips, Madeline curled her fingers around the rim of her shirt before pulling it up and over her head. Tossing it aside, she turned her head over her shoulder to look at the twins. Sliding her hands into the back pockets of her jeans shorts, she offered them a grin, "Fancy a swim, tricksters?"

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

Mads had done very well with the whole card trick. Not moving as Jasper kissed the other side of the card. He would have moved it at the last second to kiss her lips, but considering where her real card was going to end up, he figured her better behave. Not like the car was going to end up anywhere to bad, the boys just always ended up stashing the card somewhere under someone’s clothing. Normally it was in someone’s pants, tucked between the waist and the waist line of the pants they were wearing but after such talk about her tattoo and its location well neither of the boys thought they could place it there without her noticing. The 'kiss' from Jasper had really just been a distraction as Casper had placed the card where he wanted in his own hidden way. That was how magic worked after all to some degree. This trick was about distracting a person while the real trick was going on and it worked perfectly.

"That trick is a big favorite among the ladies and a few men." Casper pointed out as he reached out to try and take the card from Mads so he could add it back to his deck and put them away. "We used to make people cough the card up, but then people asked too many question." Jasper added shortly after because while they liked people to be wondering, they should have known the old saying that a magician never revealed their secretes so there was no point in even asking. "Agreed." The boys said with a small nod, fully agreeing with Mads words to a certain point because they were also for getting other people to do their work for them. Since that was another point of having a toy after all. The boys found themselves enjoying the company of the other girl as well as they were happy that they had run into her those few days ago and that things went well between them. It was still interesting that she actually went out to find them, but when you were bored you were supposed to go out and find your entertainment after all.

The followed along with hands in their pockets and sticking pretty close to one another. Both ready to most likely bolt or kick the ass of whatever felt like jumping out at them. They were a little on edge but were not saying anything and just walked along. Mads seemed fine and the school was filled with other mutants but it was a large campus so it was not like they were always going to be wondering into someone after all. They made it to the clearing and followed Mads to the boathouse, looking out to the lake and taking a deep breath. They were already feeling the urge to go on and jump in. Casper's and Jasper's grey eyes were pulled away from the lake when they could see Mads removing her shirt out of the corner of their eyes that had them both smirking once more and exchanging a glance.

"Sure." A simple response since they were already working on removing their shirts, tossing them onto the pile with Mads and removing their jeans until they were just in their matching pair of black boxers. They didn't have a lot of clothing yet since they didn't have much to begin with that was not for a show, so they could not afford to get too much wet with lake water and add to their pile of laundry. Shoes and socks were even in the pile that they made sure was far enough away to not be in any form of a splash zone. "Just don't grab any water snakes you might come across." Casper said as he went over to feel the water. "Oooo, nice one brother." Jasper said, extremely pleased and patted his brother on the back at that one.

[Madeline Carter]

"Oh, I bet," Madeline nodded. She could definitely see why people liked the trick. Then again, Mads wasn't one who held any personal boundaries, or at least not many, so she didn't have a huge problem with it, but she could see how some did. After all, not everyone liked people's magic tricks showing up underneath their clothing. Grimacing at the coughing method, Madeline couldn't imagine that being particularly comfortable, "That can't have been.." she trailed off there. Well, her expression probably said it all anyways.

Arching her eyebrow in an amused manner, Maddie chuckled, "Water snakes? Well, that's a lame way of puttin' it," she shrugged. Glancing over the boys, she nodded as she too started making her way towards the edge of the water. There was little point in lying, and she would have been had she said the boys didn't look good; Luckily for her, Madeline had never been the type to be fueled by hormones. At least, not up until now. That could easily change though. Even she knew that much.

Jogging after the younger boys, Madeline aimed for one of the boys, and once again found herself on his back with her arms over his shoulders and her feet wrapped around his waist to keep herself up, "Come on, ya could come up with a better pun than that, eh?" she snickered before dropping to her feet again. "Like for example; The followin' pun won't be dry, and my pun quality is sinkin' from now on," Maddie said with a shrug. Skipping forward, she almost squealed out of sheer joy as she stepped into the water.

It was a lot colder than what she had expected.

She could feel the goosebumps all over her body, and it sort of felt really nice. It was like having this tickling sensation grow over your skin, grazing it with a feather, or something equally corny.

Turning, Mads spread her arms to the sides, "If anythin', y'all are the ones who gotta watch out," she said with a wink. And without hesitation, the blonde bowed down and placed both her hands in the water before splashing it towards the boys.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The boys just chuckled at Mads expression on the whole coughing up ta card part of the trick. They would not tell her that you were not actually coughing up a card, that trick was more so playing a trick on the mind and the sense of the body. So many tricks to do all with a simple deck of cards. That was why the boys loved magic, because there was just so much you could do with say a small ball, a deck of cards, or even with a flower. Magic was just so much fun and the boys were always going to use it, even if they never ended up going back to the circus. Right now they knew they missed the circus, not having to go to classes, having your own little home on wheels, and entertaining people for money. It was all a lot of fun and they wanted to go back to it. That was how they felt now about it now, as they could not say for certain how things would turn out after being at this school a few more years.

"Well saying anaconda would have been pushing it." Casper admitted because while they did have their pride there was no need to have that extreme of an exaggeration on it. Jasper and Casper were now starting to stretch, wanting to make sure their bodies were nice and lose so they did not pull anything. Their mutation came with a lot of great bounces, but they still had to be careful. They didn't want to pull anything while they were out swimming. Granted they had each other to look after and take care of if something happened and Mads possibly could do something to help as well. Both boys were glancing over at Mads but for the most part looking out at the lake so they would not be rules by their hormones. Casper of course doing a better job at it then Jasper was. This time when Mads jumped up onto one of their backs it was Jasper this time and he almost ended up following into the water with Mads on his back, but Casper had thankfully grabbed and stopped them both from just falling in. "Do you like climbing up guys?" Jasper asked as he watched Mads slide down, then she was going on about puns.

"Ouch, those puns kind of hurt. Think you should let them drown and make sure they don't float back to the surface." Casper responded, there that was sort of in the pun department yes, even if he was talking about her own pun words. Both boys watched as Mads moved into the water, remaining where they were for a moment before she let out a squee. They should have known that she was going to start splashing them, but they didn't and were hit by the cold droplets of water that had them scampering away and then fully on sprinting for a moment to get after her. Using their powers a little bit to get after Mads so that one of them could grab her and pick her up. Planning on tossing her out into the deeper water and to have to deal with all of her body ending up under the cold water. That should cool her off.

[Madeline Carter]

Smirking, Mads placed her lips against the back of Jasper's neck, right under the line of his hair before finally sliding down, "Maybe," she tossed back with a grin. She certainly didn't mind it, that was for sure. And hello, even without being your typical hormonal teenager, even she could appreciate the view, and appreciate it she did. Having it doubled up just made it even better by her book.

Man, twins were amazing that way. She almost wished there was more hot twins around Bellefonte; The girls - and the boys would surely be happy about that. There was no doubt about it.

Turning to look at Casper, Madeline chuckled, "Good one," she said and raised her thumb in the air, "You're getting better at this," she added. She was quick to act though as the boys started sprinting towards her. She already knew she stood no chance against them; After all, she had seen their ability in action already and knew what she was up against. That didn't kill her courage though, but as one of the boys managed to catch her, she decided it was about time to play a few tricks of her own; Whether or not they would end up working was yet to be seen.

As she felt herself being captured, the blonde turned around and locked her arms around the boy's waist. Pressing her upper body against his, whichever twin it was, Madeline tilted her head backwards and widened her green eyes into something similar to that of a puppy face; "Aw, that's no fair," she said, pushed her lower lip out into a pout, "Ya guys have an advantage with yer power," she added.

She had absolutely no issues with playing the puppy dog card; she just hoped it would work.
