Erika's Runaway

Erika landed on a high tree in the park and morphed back into her normal self. She cried until she was literally out of tears. Everything was Erika's fault, she thought at least. If she didn't have her memory power Noah wouldn't have yelled at her or stormed off. If Noah hadn't flown off (which pointed out earlier is her fault), Ruby wouldn't know that she was a super. If was all she could think about. If she had done something different, nothing would be the way it is and she wish she could have done something different. She placed part of the blame on herself and the rest on herself.

Bell landed with Ruby, Mark was close behind.

Ruby looked around a little until she thought of where Erika always hung out in trees.
"Hey check out all the trees! I bet you Erika might be in one of them!" Ruby wandered and circled some on the ground but figured she might be more effective in the air so she rose up and began to look in the treetops from the air.

Bell rolled her eyes and followed after but stayed on the ground.

Ruby looked in one tree that was relatively tall and heard sniffling coming from it:Erika. Ruby circled around to find Bell. When she did, she informed her that she had found Erika.
"Hey, I found Erika in that high tree over there, ridiculously crying like a baby"

"Bring her down and be gentle," Bell said softly

Lady Luck remained hidden behind a tree about 20 feet away from Ericka, playing an instrument that appeared to be a cross betwixt a harp and a flute;

Slow, soothing music drifted out from among the trees, The sound was of the ether realm.
The deep undertone of the ballad was calming like, a rippling brooke in an enchanted forest.
Through music the ballad showed the listener the diamond speckled water, and the ruby laced flowers, the emerald green grass, and a pure saphire blue sky.. only those in true emotional turmoil can hear this song.

After finishing her song, Lady Luck snaps her finger and vanishes, In a silvery cloud of smoke.

Erika heard sweet, slow, calming music that seemed to calm her emotions and herself. She listened intently and when it ended, she wished for more.
"Erika?" Ruby crept into the tree.
"What do you want Ruby?"
"You can't go off like that Erika, its dangerous."
"So what? Everything else is my fault..."

Bell watched her face full of worry, but a sweet ballad filled the air and she let out an exasperated sigh, and sat on a bench.
Bell looked up at the now darkening sky, so many things happened today she woke up with her boyfriend soulless, her friend alive, and everything was alright. Now she's getting married, a good friend murdered, and things where crumbling around her.
She put her head in her hands and closed her eyes.

"Erika, stop saying everything is your fault because it isn't. Things happen..because they are supposed to happen. We can't go back and change it, nor can we look into the future and try to change it. I mean, you can see the past and I can see bits and pieces of the future but we can't see it and know exactly what is gonna happen. I'm not trying to be mean, but you gotta get over it sweetie. Noah will come back and he isn't mad at you, he's mad at the situation and that Dina is..dead..but we can't change that! Get off your lazy butt." Ruby smiled at Erika.
"Fine..." Ruby jumped out of the tree and Erika just flew out of the tree, while in bird form.
"You okay?" Ruby walked up to Bell, seeing her with her head in her hands.

Bell looked up and managed a smile "Just thinking over things," She waved her off and saw a shine from the ring and smiled, "Oh yeah I'm engaged," She said matter-of-factly.

Ruby looked at Bell and beamed.
"It's about time! I'll have to tell you about some of the things I saw while I was dream-trapped." Ruby smiled. Erika looked a bit confused.
"With who?" She asked.

Bell laughed and ruffled Erika's hair "Silly girl, Paul, who else?" She rolled her eyes and said "Do I want to know what you saw?" She raised an eyebrow and laughed.

"Oh, well, I'm new," Erika smiled at Bell.
Ruby laughed and said, "Its nothing bad, just you in labor and you in the sonogram. I just don't know what gender it is, I didn't get to see."

"I do." Mark said quietly.

"You do?" Ruby whipped her head around to see Mark.

"How?" Ruby asked with curiosity.

Bell looked up at him confused

Erika looked between the three of them, just listening.

Don't know how to come in

(Just fly in or something and go on N&WTTM!!!)

Ruby cocked her head. "He told you? How in the world does he know?"

(Come in with like a ninja roll and be all like "HAHAHA I'M HERE!!!" then walk away,)

Bell rolled "Of course Paul told you," She sighed "He didn't even tell me, count yourself lucky," Bell joked with a laugh. "He's a ninja Ruby," Bell smiled

Ruby pondered over the fact that Paul didn't even tell Bell.
"Mark is a ninja and Captain Jerk?" Ruby said with a grin.

"He's a spirit..duh..he can phase." Mark said.
He looked at Bell.
"It was a suprise."

Ruby smiled. Paul wanted it to be a surprise..how sweet!

"Oh." Bell blinked wondering when he did this and HOW did she not notice.

Noah flew overhead.
He had left his friend Luke at school.
He landed.
"Hey." He said.
