Rayan shook uneasily as he felt the splash of Dysis’s tears upon his shoulder. He was caught completely off guard by her sudden change of mood. Just moments ago, she was giggling with happiness, having a wonderful time; now, she was nearly weeping. Dysis looked up and stared at him tearfully.
"Have I been a burden to you? …I didn't mean to..." she asked him, nearly heartbroken. Rayan’s stomach nearly churned upon seeing her lip quiver with grief. He felt sick. He couldn’t stand to see her in this state. As Dysis buried her head into his shoulder again, Rayan moved his arm up to wrap closer to her neck, and gently clung to her even tighter. He forced an uneasy smile and said in the most soothing voice he could muster, “No, you haven’t been a burden to me at all. I’m glad to have met you today. I haven’t had this much fun in a long time. So don’t worry about me. Please…”
Rayan was touched by her childlike sorrow for something that she hadn’t even done wrong. Dysis was merely sorry for something she thought she had done, and it moved Rayan to become even more appreciative of thoughtless qualities. Freeing one of his arms from their embrace, Rayan reached up and gently lifted up her cheek so that she was looking into his eyes again. He found himself stroking her cheek in order to calm her. Rayan’s smile widened slightly, as much as he could stand, and he added, “Now, don’t you worry about that anymore. Let’s just keep having ourselves a good time, okay?”

A wobbly smile appeared on Dysis's lips again as she heard Rayan's tender words. She was truly blessed to have met a friend like him. His touch had silenced the wave of guilt that rose inside her. Her eyes stopped watering and began to shine with happiness again when she heard Rayan say, "Let's just keep having outselves a good time, okay?"
The tears that hadn't fallen from her eyes remained in her eyes like little diamonds floating around a sapphire. Her feeble smile transformed into a brilliant one that would have easily lit up the room if it wasn't only meant for Rayan.
"Okay! Let's go eat then~I'm starving!"
Taking the hand that had been on her cheek, she led them out of the crowd of dancers. However, her first attempt at leading them out of the dancefloor was unsuccessful when they arrived at the DJ. Giggling, she turned around, and finally found her way out. To her luck there was an empty booth waiting for her.
Releasing her hold on Rayan, she slipped into the seat gracefully. Sheets of paper that felt they had been dipped into flexible glass served as the menus. They lay on the table ready for the next person to scan their eyes over them and decide on what to eat.
I don't know what to get...
Looking up at Rayan again, Dysis smiled and decided that he could order for her. She trusted him enough that she was sure she would love whatever he got.
"Rayan~surprise me and order for me? Please?"

Anubis had followed them into the club, and sat down at a booth and watched them dance. After some shared emotions they finally sat down for food, next to the booth he was in. He looked up from scanning his own menu to see Dysis doing the same. "Are you ready to order sir?" A young looking woman addressed Anubis, startling him. He looked up at her and smiled. Yes, I'd like to order your mediam spagetti dish, with a Dr. Pepper. The woman paused for a minute, jotting down the order and looked up. "Will that be all sir?" Yes ma'm. "Your order will be ready in a few minutes, sir." The waitress took his menu and scurried off. Anubis frowed and returned to watching Dysis and Rayan.

The roller coaster of emotions shown on the dance floor by the couple like none other was something he could relate with. He found himself along for the ride, happy when they were happy, sad when they were sad. When they were sad he even felt a tear coming, but he didn't let it. He wasn't that emotional.
When the girl led the young man into the booth next to his, his heart started beating faster. This happened when he was about to meet people who interested him; who he could tell would like him, and he like them.
Faster then a cat who sees a fresh helping of 2% milk in her milk bowl, Banana stood up and sat down again, only now he was in the next booth, sitting next to the girl and facing the guy. He calmly clapped three times rythmatically, after which a waiter appeared.
"I will take my usual, por favor. Gracias."
This mix of spanish and english was turning into more and more spanish as he got to know Emanuel, the mexican waiter, on his breaks and when waited on by him. By now any other regular in the club knew that Emanuel gave him free food, and was the only one who knew Banana's real name.
Jerking out of his freefalling thoughts, he looked grimly at the couple, swiveling his head so he could look at both. "I don't mean to be rude but here's the deal. Emanuel likes fast order, and if you can order fast enough its on the house."
Banana paused to look at Emanuel to see if this was fine with him. A nod gave him the answer he had known was coming. "I would recommend the pizza, senor." Emanuel did not divulge what was on the pizza.
Banana smiled knowingly. "This is no ordinary pizza. It's not even on the menu. Don't worry you'll like it." He smiled encouragengly, inside wondering what the heck took these two so long to order.

((...can't resist...must posty cuz im so bored))
Startled from this sudden appearance, Dysis dropped the menu in her hands and gave a little squeak. Folding her wings of light behind her back so they wouldn't disturb the guest, Dysis began to glow a heavenly light once more. As if waking up, Dysis's celestial blue eyes blinked several times before focusing. When they focused, a smile reappeared on her face. Everybody was so friendly! And this new guy seemed to possess magical powers. He could summon other beings by just clapping three times.
"Wow! That's a wonderful magic trick! My name is Dysis! Pleased to meet you!"
Dysis wanted to stand up to curtsey and properly introduce herself, but he was blocking her exit... Before she knew it, it seemed as if this guy was ordering for them. Something called "pizza..." Dysis touched her finger to her lips as she wondered what this mysterious food might possibly be. This foreign word couldn't be pronounced properly in Dysis's mouth. She pronounced it as "pea-zah."
"Piza! What a strange word... Do you want to get that, Rayan?"
As she gazed at Rayan, she noticed a strange person that seemed to be staring at them. She waved frantically to the person. Dysis noticed that the strange person staring at them was sitting alone, so perhaps they were just lonely and needed company! Everybody really was so friendly here, especially Rayan! Dysis was so glad that she had found this place.

Rayan exhaled in relief when he heard Dysis perk up. He gazed into her diamond-like eyes, and nearly swooned at her brilliant smile that seemed to pour out sunshine. When Dysis pulled him to their table by his hand, Rayan nearly stumbled he was feeling so dizzy.
What’s wrong with me? he thought. Get a grip on yourself, Rayan…
Dysis had sat him opposite of herself, sliding into her seat gracefully. When she asked him in her cool, adorable squeaky voice to order for her, Rayan felt his head begin to spin. He tilted his head down and touched his forehead with his fingertips, as if to ease his mind. “Unghh… wha?” he muttered cluelessly, not having heard everything Dysis said to him. Then after a moment, Rayan realized what it was she asked. “Ohhhh… uh, sure, I’ll order for you. If I can think up what to get…”
His final words were slurred slightly as his mind floated off. Rayan couldn’t quite define the exhilarated emotions astir within him, and they were making him dizzy. He couldn’t explain what it was that was causing this strange reaction. Dysis’s eyes were so captivating, her appearance so stunning, her presence so soothing. It’s like, every time I look at her, I get this weird head swimming feeling, he thought. She’s so pretty… and adorable. I wouldn’t be…I’m not… falling for her… am I? Rayan nearly reeled at the thought. No! No, I must be mistaken. You’re just mixed up in the head, that’s all he told himself. Still… I wonder…
Rayan shook himself. No, stop. Mustn’t think that way. Ignore your spontaneous emotions and think on what to buy her, stupid!
Rayan finally snapped out of his stupor-esque train of thought. He looked at the menu, and struggled to choose what to buy Dysis. However, for some reason, Rayan couldn’t come to a decision. It was as if his mind was clogged. Rayan cursed himself for his incompetence, and continued scanning the list almost frantically.
A sudden sliding noise caused him to look up. Another man, a stranger, had sat down next to Dysis. Rayan raised an eyebrow at his strange taste in clothing, but when he heard him swiftly make his order to the waiter and explain his “fast order-free food” deal, Rayan was glad to have him. “All right, then. Even though I find it kind of strange for you to randomly sit at our table, I’ll take you up on that free food offer. A pizza’s fine,” he said. Emmanuel bowed and rushed off to quickly prepare the stranger’s unique pizza that he claimed was offered to no one but himself. After he left, Rayan folded his hands business-like and leaned over the table slightly.
“Well, I don’t usually tag along with strangers, but since you’re feeling generous, I’ll make an exception,” Rayan told him. “Besides, I’ve made an exception all day.” He thumbed towards Dysis, turned and grinned at her for a moment to show his appreciation for her company, and continued his conversation. “Anyways, whoever you are, I’m honored to meet you. The name’s Rayan- Rayan Stiger. Perhaps you’ve heard of my top-quality weapons shop I run here in Centropolis.” Rayan reached out his hand to offer the man a handshake.

His eyes danced with excitement while his mouth grinned; Banana indeed knew of this man and his shop, his weapon making skill renowned above everyone at this time. He shook the hand offered firmly leaning forward, then plopped back into his seat.
"Rayan Stiger, of course I have heard of you, for that matter, who has not? Maybe someday you can assist me by making a weapon for me."
Banana glanced over to where the girl waved to and saw the man. This man was in a dark booth like he himself was just in, a booth away from the crowds. The first impression this man gave was not a good one, but first impressions are so often changed that one cannot put great importance on them.
And the girl, what a strange creature she was. The creature part coming from the wings protruding from her back. She was as naiive and unknowledgeable as a small child, evidenced by her wrong prononcuation of the word pizza. However, she also seemed to be kind and caring, which were two character traits not seen often in modern times.
"Rayan Stiger, strange creature, nice to meet you." he said this nodding to both of them. "I am...well you can call me..."
Fool, just tell your name. What's the worst that could happen? They laugh or crack a joke, boohoo. Poor baby. The sooner they know your name, the sooner it will be over with. Better to get it over with sooner rather then later.
"Well, my name is Banana." He said, cringing slightly. Now for their reactions...

Dysis's mouth formed a little "o" again as she stared at Rayan in wonder. People have heard of him and he seemed to be very popular! Joy filled her heart as she felt honored to be in the company of Rayan when he could have chosen to hang out with so many other people.
"Rayan! You're famous! You never told me that~"
Dysis pouted playfully, pretending to be upset. She propped her elbows up on the table and rested her chin on her hands, still pouting. Her eyes gazed innocently up at Rayan, although they were narrowed a bit in her attempt to be upset.
When she heard Banana's name, her eyes widened. A lot of people liked bananas! It was obvious that this person must be well-liked!
"Wow! You must be a really great guy, Banana!"
Her head had lifted up when she said that, but then she remembered that she was supposed to be upset. She returned to her previous position, but her pout kept turning into a smile no matter how hard she tried. It was quite an amusing sight, watching Dysis's pouting lips slowly turn into a smile and then snap back again. Dysis giggled a little because the feeling was also very funny.

Rayan rubbed back of his head in embarrassment upon the mentioning of his supposed fame. “Ah, I’m not that famous,” he protested, ruffling his hair some. “I’m not some kind of celebrity or anything… just skilled at making weaponry. Although, I’m glad to see that my work is appreciated. I’d be more than glad to make you a custom weapon.” Looking over at Dysis, he saw that she trying to fake a pout, although she kept cracking a smile every time she tried. Rayan snickered good-humoredly at her cute playfulness.
Rayan turned back towards the man, looking at him with keen interest to learn his name. He wasn’t prepared for his answer, though. Rayan stifled a snort in an attempt to be polite, but after Dysis said, “You must be a really great guy, Banana!", that was when he could no longer hold it in. Rayan burst out laughing, grabbing his sides because they ached. After almost half a minute of hysterical laughter, Rayan wiped the tears from his eyes, looked at him and repeated, “Banana? Your name is Banana?” He then went right back to laughing his head off, nearly rolling out of his seat onto the floor.
When he was finished making a fool of his friend, Rayan said through snickers, “Ah! Your name is Banana! That’s awesome!” He chuckled for a moment or two longer, and then added, “I hope you aren't mad that I laughed at your name. I didn’t mean to offend you, and if I did, I hope you will forgive me. But I just couldn’t help finding it absolutely hilarious! I’m sure you have to put up with a lot of crap from people over that. But pay no attention to them; it’s a fine name, even if it seems strange. I like it, anyway. Besides, I’m sure you could make fun of me about my name just as easily if you wanted. You wouldn’t believe how many people either mispronounce or misspell my name, as if it was a challenge or something. I’m always being called ‘Stinger’ on business papers, or people say my name ‘Stig-er’ instead of ‘Sty-ger.’ It gets really annoying. So I definitely know where you’re coming from with people making fun of your name.”

Anubis flinched when he found out who Dysis's company was. Rayan Stiger. He once yearned to meet this man a long time ago, to make the mechanical creature he is today, but luckly he found someone else, and even got his weapons from that person. A small wave of respect passed through Anubis. Anubis looked down at his hands again and moved his fingers. He looked back up to the trio in front of him with a newfound respect. He completly forgotten about Dysis's rediculously amount of happyness of everything. Maybe this Stiger can make some improvements. I always felt like I'd fall apart at any second.

aHis face red with a mixture of emberassment and anger, he was almost as ready to burst as a volcano when the lava is just below the surface. The only thing that stopped this explosion was Rayan's sudden change in dialogue; and after the change Banana simmered down slowly while Rayan went on. Wow, someone you didn't explode at for making fun of your name. He did make fun of his name, though. No one's ever done that before.Most people like to make friends. Not all, mind you, not people like murderers or ones people call "loners", although some physchologists seem to think some people murder from loneliness and some loners merely put on a show of liking to be alone because they have had bad experiences in the past with friends. Banana was one of those people who loved to have many friends with him, a "people person". Nothing beat anywhere from one friend to about 15 friends hanging out with him, having a good time. And he especially liked making new friends and then introducing them to old friends. Every so often, Banana played the role of matchmaker among his friends, and was so far undeafeted in his picks, arooooo. When Rayan changed the subject, this only confirmed what he had already known. These two, especially Rayan, would be his friends for a long time. Some would call him crazy for thinking this after just meeting them, but Banana just knew, it was as simple as that. Just as one of his daydreams/deep thoughts ended Emanuel came up with a piping hot pizza. This one was literally piping hot because a pipe was sitting in the middle of it and it was hot too . "Thanks, Emanuel." Banana said, taking the pizza and setting it onto the table quickly; it nearly burnt his bare hands touching the hot pizza. He took the pipe and blew on it and a special kind of cheese flew out of the pipe and drifted onto the pizza. The pizza was a pizza like none other. He had once heard of one like it in Bangledesh, but after flying down there and checking it out he found the rumor untrue, as most rumors are. It had all sorts of strange toppings on it, for example something that looked vaguely like a potatoe chip was on it. However, it was not. Banana chuckled in his mind as he bit into the pizza, wondering what the facial expressions of the other two would be when they bit into this strange concoction. It sure promised to be entertaining.

((yes...um...raven/anubis... dysis isk new, so how do u know about her lack of knowledge? if ur charry has never ever met her... stalker or not, u cant know bout nethin bout dysis unless uve been stalkin her for a while. and u havent.))
Dysis perked up and looked around, trying to search for this new scent that had intruded her nose. Whatever it was, it smelled absolutely delicious. To her delight the scene became stronger until she could locate it. It must be what Rayan and Banana called "pizza!" Clapping her hands, she watched as Banana made cheese come out of a pipe.
"So that's what a piza is! Yay!"
The pizza was certainly a surprise as Dysis just stared at it. She could see the steam rising from it, tempting her to try it. As Dysis reached a delicate hand out to touch the pizza, she almost yelped from how hot it was! She drew her hand back again, sticking her tongue out at the pizza.
Picking up her fork and knife, she carefully lifted a slice onto her plate. Dysis then proceeded to cut each piece into bite size pieces...although her bite size pieces still took two bites. Sticking her fork into the first piece, she bit into it.
"Mmmmmm!"
What a strange flavor! But it's so good!!!
When she pulled the fork away from her mouth, a string of cheese connected her mouth and fork. Upon further inspection, she realized that there was a string of cheese from her mouth to her fork to her slice of pizza. There was also some sort of oddly shaped object that was hanging down from it...like a spider. Staring at it, it only turned out to be a piece of fried baby squid with its tentacles curved upwards.
She pulled her head away, in an attempt to snap the string of cheese...but it was no use. The cheese only grew longer and refused to break.
X.x;; Waah...what do I do now...
Sticking the fork in her mouth, Dysis ate the other half of the piece she cut in hopes of getting rid of her problem. It was no use... Stretching her fork away from her mouth, nothing happened...until it snapped. The stringy cheese flung back to her face and landed on her nose. Twitching her nose and trying to stare at what had landed on it, the piece of cheese fell onto the white dress. Smiling, Dysis wiped off her nose daintily and continued to eat her pizza.
"This is really yummy piza!"
White fabric began to swirl around the place that she had dropped cheese on. A piece of cloth lifted from her dress, carrying the cheese, and crumbled up before falling on the table. Dysis's enchanted dress was clean once more.

Rayan found Dysis’s tangle with her cheese humorous, grinning slightly. “Hehe, it might be easier if you just cut it with your fork, you know,” he told her, explaining the all-difficult concept of eating a pizza. Dysis couldn’t even figure out how to eat one of the simplest edible creations in history, but that was part of what Rayan found so cute in her, alongside with a host of other reasons. “Anyways, this certainly looks… how to put it… unique…” Rayan said, staring at the bizarre concoction Banana’s friend had brought to them. “But… it looks good! I’ll try it!”
Rayan reached for a slice and attempted to pull it free from the others. When it did not cooperate, he yanked it, but it still did not come. Rayan gave the pizza a conspicuous glare, and then reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small device that was cylindrical and looked somewhat like a pen. Rayan held it above the dividing line between his slice and the one next to it, and pressed a button on the top of his “toy.” A bright red laser beam shot from the tip; smoke poured out of the box as he was nearly cutting through the table. Rayan used the laser beam like a surgical knife, cutting the pizza with expert precision. Triumphantly, he pulled his slice away from the rest of the pizza with ease, blew on it to cool it some, and sunk his teeth in.
“I hate it when the pizza sticks together like that,” Rayan commented between bites, and returned his laser-projecting device to his pocket after spinning it with his fingers. He seemed unconcerned over whether he had damaged the table at all with his laser. He then took a good look at the toppings Banana had ordered for their pizza. Rayan noted strange potato chip shaped objects, some flat, circular, orange carrot-looking things, and many other things he could not identify. He jokingly wondered if Banana was trying to poison them. Then his eyes fell upon one of the baby squid, similar to the one that had been on Dysis’s piece. Rayan picked up his fork and scraped it off onto his plate.
“Ah, I hope you don’t mind if I don’t eat that. I’ve never much liked seafood,” he said to Banana. “This pizza is very good, though, despite how weird it looks.”

Dysis watched Rayan expertly cut his pizza with his laser pen.
"You're so amazing!!"
She clapped her hands a little and then proceeded to eat her pizza again. Following the advice he gave her, Dysis began to saw away at her pizza with her fork and knife. She made sure to cut everything to truly bite-size pieces and that no cheese hung onto anything else.
Satisfied, Dysis brought another piece to her mouth, but before it could reach it...all the cheese fell off. She didn't understand pizzas at all... First the cheese was super sticky, and now it couldn't stick on at all! She puffed out her cheeks as she picked up the cheese that fell off and placed it back on.
Before anything else could happen, Dysis quickly stuck it into her mouth. "Mmmmm~very very yummy!" Dysis exclaimed once more, licking her lips. Seeing that Rayan wasn't going to eat the baby squid, she picked it up with her fork and moved it onto her plate. She didn't want to waste food, although Dysis never really wasted anything...or at least attempted to do so.

Banana sat back with a contended sigh, patting his
stomach six-pack. Things were definetly going well with his new friends, with the obvious exception of the young man who made no effort to conceal his constant staring.
Two things come to mind...either a stalker or an assasin. Neither option brings pleasant thoughts to mind. A stalker would mean he's watching the girl and an assassin likely means he is after Rayan Stiger.
These thoughts displeased Banana and at the same time ruined the good feeling of having just finshed a good meal and meeting two new friends. People who are angry are not fun to mess with, and with especially big people, even moreso. Contrary to popular belief, however, little people are the worst to mess with when they are angry. Especially midgets.
Banana got up, looking small. The bartender caught Banana's movement and motioned to several bouncers, who, experienced as they were, knew what to expect. If a fight broke out they would let it go for a while before breaking it up. Most club owners hate fights, thinking it drives people away, but this particular club thrived on them. First off, if an innocent person got attacked, thats when the bouncers would step in. But anything other then that the bouncers let play out. And the club actually attracted people through these fights, not lose them.
His expression was a calm one, but inside he was extremely angry. He strode purposefully to the stalker or assasin's table and looked down to him. Not one to beat around the bush or mince words, he got right to the point.
"What do you want?"
If the man threw out a reply that he deemed unworthy, Banana would not hesitate to lay down one big whooping, right there in the club. He would, of course, try to tastefully take it outside, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
