{SCE} Wish Right Now

[Lucy James]

Well... This wasn't exactly how Lucy had planned her trip to end up. Or life, for that matter. She had minded her own business, trying to get as far away from camp as she could, and well... One thing had lead to another and before she knew it, she found herself free falling. Once she managed to get her bearings, she noticed that she had fallen into what amounted into a very narrow and muddy looking hole.

Of course, she'd tried getting out, but the walls were far too slippery for that to even be possible. And she was far above calling out for help, which didn't get her very far.

Instead, the stubborn power mimic opted for sitting down, her chin leaned against the palm of her hand as she sighed, more so angry at herself and the situation than anyone unlucky enough to pass by.

If anyone was stupid enough to stop and chat her up, anyways. Which in itself was unlikely, given her reputation. But whatever. She didn't care. She was obviously having a wonderful time. Besides, this gave her plenty of time to... to.. stare at mud, more mud, a few rocks, some insects, and grass, oh and sand. Plenty of sand. And more mud. Always more mud.

At least it was cozy and warmer than you'd expect. So, at the very least, she wouldn't die from freezing. There was that. It surely didn't help her mood that in the process of falling, she'd managed to hurt her foot, get a nice cut on her cheek and get a few bruises here and there. "Wonderful," she muttered.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"I'm telling you! If we put a bit more water in it and probably expand it a little it would be the perfect hole for a mud fight. Perhaps we could even try and get a few of the girls to come and participate in a mud wrestling competition." Jasper said as he was practically dragging his brother along to the place he had spotted a hole that he felt would be great. It was like a mud pit of sorts and it just seemed perfect to have a mud fight and make bets or whatever. It would just be hot and well it was mud wrestling so that pretty much explained everything.

"We could give them food or bet with food and shelter or something." Casper added to his brother's words about this mud pit idea. All they really knew was that they wanted to really have a mud fight with one another because again it was mud. They were very much those kinds of boys that would love to have a mud fight and just get all really dirty. Imagine their surprise when they came upon the hole and saw no one other than Lucy sitting down in the hole. She didn't even look like she had any plans on trying to get out of the hole.

Perhaps she wanted to have some fun in the mud too, which was pretty hot and which was why the brothers were looking down at her with smirks. "Hey Lucy, long time no see." Jasper said, since he had not actually seen the girl since the last time when she was at the dance studio and he wanted to beat her up. Now he just wanted to shove her face into the mud but more in a playful manner then an angry one. "Are you having some fun or are you in trouble?" Casper asked, slightly teasing since he pretty much had an idea that she was not down there by choice.

[Lucy James]

The first thing Lucy noticed was the presence of the familiar power. Then there was the familiar voices and then, once she finally looked up; the familiar faces. It took the brunette a great deal of self control to stop herself from rolling her eyes; her last meeting with Casper hadn't exactly ended well, and it was no secret that she and Jasper weren't on the same wave length at all. Sighing, Lucy pursed her lips.

"Not long enough," she replied before turning over to look at Casper. "Does it look like I'm having fun, Casper? If so, then maybe you should consider getting glasses to match your inhalator." Out of all the people she could have run into, she had to run into these two? They didn't exactly strike her as the kind of people you wanted to keep around when you found yourself stuck in a hole. And whatever they had planned, she wanted no part of.

It didn't help much that Jasper kept that smirk on his face; Not trusting Casper was one thing, but Jasper was something else entirely.

She'd much rather have run into that damn panther boy than these two. Sighing, Lucy's gaze fell towards the ground. Hopefully, the twins would take the hint and leave her alone, but she somehow doubted she'd get out of this situation quite as easily.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

Jasper didn't hold back an eye roll when Lucy commented on it not being long enough since the last time he had saw her. He was then looking to his brother as Lucy spoke up about him needing glasses and other stupid stuff when his brother had just been teasing her. "I still don't understand how you like her." Jasper said, shaking his head in a slightly confused and disapproving manner at his brother. Casper rolled his eyes, choosing to not comment on Lucy's words but he could not just leave what his brother said in the air. "Liked." Casper said, making it clear that it was a past tense sort of deal as he was already moving to jump down into the hole with Lucy.

Casper already figured that Lucy had to have fallen down here and likely been unable to get out because she would not have just sat in the mud or came down to chill in the mud the first place. While he didn't get his end desire, he still had figured her out pretty well and it was not like he hated her or anything. So while she needed help and probably really didn't want it from them she was going to have to deal with it. "How do you lose feelings for someone so easily, brother?" Jasper asked as he watched his brother jump down into the mud. Casper didn't answer him; Jasper knew all of the answers on the subject already.

"Did you hurt anything when you ended up in here?" Casper asked, catching himself from almost falling down in the mud once he was down in the hole. He was already moving over to Lucy, looking her over for any signs of injury, but there was a lot of mud in the way. "If I were you, I would leave her there until she apologized." Jasper spoke up, moving to sit on the edge of the hole but looked like he had no plans of jumping down and helping. "She can't really apologize for it; it’s one of those things that just happens. Like with you and Franck." Casper responded back to his brother if only to get his brother silent for a moment as he thought about the matter. That would at least by him enough time to get Lucy moving.

[Lucy James]

Looking from one brother to the other, Lucy sighed; the way they talked as if she wasn't standing right next to them was incredibly annoying, but she figured at least it was better than Jasper attempting at a conversation with her, which would only end up in some kind of fight, sooner or later. Instead, Lucy's attention was brought to Casper as he jumped down into the hole and started to make his way towards her.

"No, nothing of great significance." There was the small cut on her cheek, the bruises and some other minor injuries, but nothing that wouldn't heal. Lucy pushed herself into a standing position, turning to fully face Casper as her eyes narrowed somewhat. Again, the brothers started talking as if she wasn't even there to begin with. She had to stop herself from rolling her eyes at the way they regarded her, but really, it was better than having to actually talk to Jasper.

It was obvious that the two of them would never get along.

However, Lucy wasn't entirely sure what to make of this situation. After what Casper had told her the last time they'd met, she found herself being vary around him. She didn't trust him and his mere presence caused a nagging feeling to jump around in her chest. "You don't have to do this," she told him, shaking her head. "I'm fine on my own." Or rather, she would be fine with waiting for someone else to come around.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The brothers did indeed have a habit of talking to one another as if the other person was not even there. They often ended up in their own little world in where it was just the two of them and the rest were their toys. So what did it matter if their toys heard them talking about them? That and sometimes they did it on purpose so someone would find something out or they would get a reaction out of them. That was why Jasper was speaking up about the subject that the two of them had already worked out among one another. Jasper wanted Lucy to hear it, to see how she reacted, and in general have his brother say it around the girl.

"Hmm, there is a river pretty close to here where we can get you cleaned up." Casper said as he looked at Lucy. He noticed the small bruises and his hand was already reaching out to wipe at the cut on her cheek at little. He knew she didn't like to be touched but he was checking how deep the cut was; just in case it looked small but was actually super deep, and to wipe away the little beads of blood. "See, right there is the problem brother. You are too...nice. Doing things on like emotions and not enough physical. Physical always wins." Jasper pointed out to his brother, practically half disgusted that his brother was even wasting time dealing with a toy that was no longer fun or met a need you desired.

Casper shook his head at his brother, but he did in fact think his brother was right. After all, they had made a bet and clearly physical approach worked better on a lot of people when it came to getting a reaction out of someone or what you wanted out of them. Casper's approach had yielded nothing that was worth bragging about. Thus they already concluded physical was the way to go, but Casper was not going to get into that again. "I know I don't have to. I want to, and if you were fine on your own you would have been out of here by now." Casper pointed out as he looked over her again once she was standing up, making sure again that nothing seemed broken so he would not make it worse.

"Here. I'll boost you up." Casper said, already taking the position with his back against the muddy sides. He interlocked his hands together and lowered them enough so she could step on them, that way he could boost her up that way. If her legs were at all hurt, then he was going to go with plan B, but she said she was fine. "Blllaaarrgggh. That is the sound of me gagging. Because I'm gagging over here." Jasper said as he was now lying back on the ground, feet still hanging over the edge of the hole.

[Lucy James]

"If either of you tried the physical approach with me, your brother would find himself further away from his goal than what he is already. Take it from someone who knows; having something you don't want, physically forced on you is not the way to go, and the sooner you realize that, the better off you'll be," Lucy shot at Jasper, tossing him a side ways glare before she turned back to look at Casper. "There's a reason I like your brother better than you, Jasper. Didn't you ever stop to wonder why exactly you're the one sitting alone up there, when the rest of us are down here?" She didn't think the boy would understand at all, but so be it. It didn't really matter, and she didn't really care what Jasper thought.

And Casper was right; If she had been fine on her own, she wouldn't have been stuck down in this hole to begin with. Sighing, she remained perfectly still. Even when he'd touched her cheek, she hadn't flinched away. She didn't want to give Jasper the satisfaction. So, instead, she simply let Casper do his thing, if only just to prove how incredibly wrong his twin brother was. "Fair enough," she replied.

She watched as Casper moved towards the the sides of the hole. It didn't take her long to understand what he was doing, so within a few seconds, Lucy made her way towards him. Placing both of her hands on his shoulders, her blue eyes met his before she finally lifted her foot, only to stop as she heard Jasper speak. "What, do you have the mentality of a six year old?" she shot at him with narrowed eyes. "Congratulations. You're proving your brother to be the better half more and more every day." Her gaze lowered back to Casper as she leaned in and used her arms to hoist herself up so that she could make her way out of the muddy hole.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"Well, you're a bitch so it does not matter at any rate. He tried the being nice guy and it didn't work. If he was a bit more forward and got you to spread your legs for him a bit more, I'm sure he would be at least be on the level of that guy you were sitting on the bus with on the way here." Jasper said as he so wanted to just move and shove her down into the mud. He was not even going to comment on how very wrong she was to think that he meant to force it on her. The brother didn't like to force such a thing on a person, other than a kiss.

Past that, well they hated not being wanted so why would they deal with that feeling when trying to go further with someone then they wanted to? It made him angry that she would even say it in the manner as if either of them would go so far in that direction. Casper was staying out of it for now because well it was his brother and Lucy. The two of them practically needed to fight in order for Casper to think that they would settle down in one another's presence. "Hey, I don't want to help you and that is why I'm not down in that stupid hole. Also, I'll have you know I have a boyfriend who is very happy with me so the physical approach does work." Jasper pointed out, so tempted to jump down into that hole now and teach her a lesson.

Casper noticed that she didn't flinch away from his touch like normal, but he supposed she was trying to prove something to his brother. That seemed like Lucy and he was not going to comment on it, just focusing on getting her out of there and helping her out. He was not trying to get anything from the girl, he was simply just helping her out because neither of the brothers were all that bad. They did do things mostly for themselves in the end, but helping someone out just because of the good feeling it gave them did occur once and a while. When her blue eyes met his, Casper could not help but to turn his head away, looking to the muddy walls but still ready to lift her up when she was in position.

"If my brother didn't like you, I would so be making you eat that mud right now." Jasper said, taking a deep breath to calm himself down. He knew if he did something, he would get his butt handed to him by his brother. "You two really need to like have an arm wrestle with one another or something." Casper said as he would lift Lucy up with ease out of the hole. Lucy could tap into their power and at least be on close to even level with Jasper if Casper was far enough way for them to have a 'fight'.

[Lucy James]

"Actually, since you've clearly mixed the facts up, I was the one who made the move when it came to us having sex. Your brother was about to pull away," she shot at the overly talkative twin. "So, I would hardly call that forward." As for the comments about Taylor, Lucy's expression darkened greatly. "Not even close," she hissed. The twins could think what they wanted, and it was more than clear that they had no idea about the extent of her... whatever it was with Taylor, but for whatever it was worth, the Irish boy stepped up a lot higher than the twins did, especially Jasper - not that Jasper had any chance at something anyways, but that was a given.

And she didn't particularly enjoy Taylor being dragged into this discussion.

"A boyfriend who isn't here, from what I can tell." She smirked at that. "Guess he enjoys his time away from you, by enjoying it with someone else." She turned away from Jasper at that; just the fact that he so protectively announced his relationship spoke volumes. Thankfully, Lucy couldn't care less.

Shooting Jasper another smirk. "I thought he already told you he didn't like me," she grinned. Getting up and over the edge of the hole, Lucy scrambled onto her legs and started brushing the little mud she could get off with the palms of her hands. As for what Casper was saying... "I'm sorry, but I don't fight girls." As for his help... "Thanks, for the help." She didn't even bother to toss Jasper a glance as she looked down at her muddy clothes. Well, this was going to be hell getting off. It was a good thing she'd brought more than just one change of clothes.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

What was this feeling that Casper felt quickly taking over him when Lucy informed his brother that she was the one that had made the first move? He didn't know but he figured the best word that it could be related to was just one hundred percent embarrassment. He could already feel like it had suddenly gotten really hot and Jasper was sure enough to notice that his usually pale brother was now very red. "Wait, wait, wait! You made the first move! Casper! Casper! Explain this!" Jasper said, having lot all anger at Lucy in that moment and it was replaced by pure laughter, and he was laughing so hard.

"...it's not, fuc-shut up." Casper could not even word at the moment, like he didn't even know what to say or how to say it. He just didn't want to be there at that moment, and to beat his brother up. Those were the two things that he desired right now but he had to first get Lucy out of the hole. Now he was just not going to say anything, to just pretend like he was not here there and just his brother's silent clone. That was the plan. Jasper was too busy laughing his butt off to pay any mind to what Lucy said about the boy they spotted her with a lot and Casper was pretending to be a silent clone so he was not going to be saying anything else on the matter.

"That is because my boyfriend is a good boy so he obviously would not be on this trip." Jasper pointed out, but he was still laughing so it didn't really have the full level of agitation or anger behind it as he had wanted it to. Jasper rolled his eyes when Lucy spoke up about his brother not liking her. "Trust me, neither of us know what we actually like or not." Jasper assured her, and that was why when his brother said 'liked' he was not thinking it was any different from 'like'.

Jasper started to crack his knuckled when Lucy spoke of now fighting girls, but helping his brother out of the hole came first so he let her slide for now. "No problem. Want clean now? I mean, the river...over there...brother..." Casper tried to speak to Lucy but it was not working so he just looked to his brother, as if he had been just injured some horrible way. Jasper let out a sigh but behaved himself. "There is a river close by if you want to clean yourself up" Jasper spoke in place of his brother.

[Lucy James]

There was a lot of amusement coming from one boy, Jasper, who kept laughing; Clearly, Casper hadn't been completely honest about what happened. Lucy was glad to know she got to set the story straight, because honestly to god, she was so tired of this kind of bullshit. And then there was Casper who'd clearly gotten incredibly flustered and awkward. The whole tedious thing had Lucy rolling her eyes. Some people. Dear god.

When finally on the ground, the boys offered to take her to the river- or, one of them did - so she could get cleaned up. "No, I'll be fine on my own," she replied. Besides, she figured that the brother's had a lot to discuss now, considering how Casper had clearly talked off his ass and said certain things that wasn't entirely true. "Besides, from the way your brother is looking at you, I can only assume the two of you have a lot to discuss." She tossed Casper a sharp glance at that.

Shifting, Lucy took a step away as her hands dug into the front pockets of her hoodie. "Good luck with that," she offered with a simple shrug. Well, at least she had been honest, unlike Casper. Whatever he'd said, clearly didn't match up with the real story. That was one good thing about the brunette. She rarely had any reason to lie about such matters, or even cover up the truth. And what did Casper expect anyways? His brother had practically verbally attacked her for something she hadn't even done.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

Lucy was misunderstanding if she thought that Casper had lied about what went down and why he was embarrassed about the matter. Casper had not lied about what they had done; he had been honest about the whole thing. He just didn't really tell his brother of how things got to the bedroom, he just told him of why they got there and what it was like. That was what Jasper had only asked about, because who cared about what you did to get what you wanted. The reason why Casper was feeling embarrassed and why Jasper was laughing was purely because not only did Lucy make the first move, Casper had hesitated. Casper, had hesitated. That was the big deal.

"I know you will be but..." Casper started to say, having calmed down a little bit but then her comment about his brother had him looking in slight confusion. Jasper too was looking a little confused because well while he said his brother needed to explain, he pretty much had already come up with an assumption that it was again because Casper liked Lucy. He could see no other explanation for the matter. "Not really. He obvious hesitated because he likes you. Didn’t just want to do it with you unless you were sure, even if it was only for the sake of getting back at your brother for you." Jasper said as he gave a small shrug.

Casper muttered something under his breath, and it was basically that he 'liked' Lucy, past tense. Jasper at least understood what his brother meant by how Lucy practically ran away every chance she got. It was disappointing, and mainly for the fact that he could not understand how his brother could like or liked this kind of person. "Wait, just a sec. The whole fighting things was no joke. I don't like you, you don't like me, and I see it that we should at least get in one good punch to one another so we can stop this whole feuding thing." Jasper said, and he left out the part about how it was not really smart to be an enemy of either of the brothers.

[Lucy James]

With an impatient sigh, Lucy turned so that she was fully facing Jasper; clearly, he was an idiot who cared far too much about his own damn pride. He was angry, and he let it show too easily. It was far too easy to rile him up, which made him weak. Which in turn meant that Lucy had very little interest in him, or fighting him. He was absolutely nothing to her and she could easily enough pretend he didn't even exist if the situation called for it. No, she wasn't going to fight him. He wasn't worth her time or the effort, and no matter how much he wanted to, Lucy wasn't going to stand for it.

"I'll pass," she said as she turned again. "I have far better things to do than get into a fight with a petty child for petty reasons. I could care less about whether or not you like me, but keep it to yourself, because honestly, your childishness is starting to grow old." He could take that as however he wanted. It didn't matter. And it surely wouldn't change her mind.

Unless either of the boys decided to stop or follow her, Lucy would continue onward towards where the river was to get herself cleaned up. Hopefully, the twins would take the hint, but somehow, she doubted that Jasper would simply let it go. He didn't seem to be the type to let go of his anger all that easily.

Oh well.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

“You are not that much older than me! You are like…seventeen…how old is she?” Jasper yelled at Lucy at first but then his attention was on his brother for a moment. Casper gave his brother a look that basically communicated that he actually didn’t know Lucy’s age for sure. Surprisingly, that was not something that he looked into among other things that he wanted to find out about the girl. He was pretty sure that she was older than them, but not by much.

She was leaving, but as she probably guessed the boys were following after her. Jasper mainly because he was not done with her, and Casper because he wanted to clean up his shoes and his pants a little bit because he had gotten some mud on them. Not that he was all that worried about the mud since he planned to get down to his boxers and play in the mud later. “You are really a jerk, you know that? Like I don’t understand how anyone can put up with you. It’s obvious you do want someone to care but you such a stubborn ass about it!” Jasper said, just all around pissed.

He was already moving to get ahead of the girl, standing in front of her to stop her from going any further once they were close enough to the little river. Casper on the other hand was moving towards the river, already taking off his shoes and shocks before going into the water a little bit. “I think the real problem is the sexual tension.” Casper spoke up, but was chuckled a little as he said it. Yeah, right. Sexual tension was all over that, so much sarcasm with that statement.

[Lucy James]

Lucy didn't bother answer the age question, because at the end of the day, it didn't matter. Whether she was seventeen or forty. It made no difference. The boy could put as much weight on it as he wanted, but Lucy had no interest in that part of their conversation. Really, all she wanted to do was being left alone and go do her own thing. She didn't want the twins around, but clearly, that was a wish that had yet to come true.

Jerk, seriously? "You couldn't come up with something a little more creative than that?" she snorted. "Oh yeah, I'm insulted. Offended. Butthurt. Really, I'm trembling with fear," she said, rolling her eyes. "I find it funny you would say that, seeing as you're the one following me, and not vice versa." She tossed him a smirk at that. Sure, he could tell her how much no one wanted to put up with her all he liked. It didn't at all change the fact that he was indeed the one following her, and not the other way around. As for the rest... She wasn't even going to get into that.

The boy then moved to stand in front of her. Stopping, Lucy sighed. A hand came up to pinch the bridge of her nose as she shook her head, trying her best to fend of an eye roll. Her gaze then turned to Casper and Lucy was honestly tempted to laugh in his face. Sexual tension? Hardly. "You know Casper, I'm starting to wonder if your brother's ego is an attempt to compensate for something." Lucy cast a quick shrug in Jasper's crotch's direction before offering him a sugar sweet smile. "Ah well, they can't all be winners." With that, Lucy stepped to the side in an attempt to walk past Jasper.
