{David} Watching the clouds.

[Lucy Sawyer]

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the number of clouds in the sky was limited. Practically the perfect summer day, and it was the perfect chance for Lucy to take advantage of such a day. Today was a day that Lucy had spent perhaps over thirty minutes in front of the mirror - perfecting herself to near satisfaction. Although, looking in the mirror, she still sees the fat girl she used to be... it didn't ever stop her abilities to put on make up. Scarlet colored lipstick and thin black eyeliner. It wasn't usually the best combination, but with Lucy's well kept blond hair and how her face was shaped... it was just about the perfect make up combination a girl like her could ever go for. With this and a flattering summer dress, Lucy knew that today was one of the days that she could be moderately happy with herself on. Lucy soon left the Demeter cabin for somewhere nice to just relax and spend the day. Even if it was on her own, it was nice just to get out once in a while.

It didn't take long for Lucy to get to the strawberry fields. On such a beautiful day, it was nice to be here. People were more than likely to go to the beach, too. But as a daughter of Demeter, Lucy found an unusual peace in coming here. It was quiet and lovely. And as much as Lucy enjoyed the company of others, it was wonderful being here once in a while. In the blissful silence.

Lucy found a spot in the field and sat herself down, eventually leaning back so that she was lying on it. Her arms were slightly spread out and her gaze was fixed upon the sky. The few clouds that were in the sky were in the oddest shapes. But it was amusing trying to think of of objects or living things that the shape of these clouds seemed to match to. Occasionally, the girl would laugh as a few of the more ridiculous shapes moved along the sky. And yet, within all of this amusement there was still that admiration for the beauty of the sky. Perhaps it was slight jealousy that Lucy felt here. She'd wished herself to be as beautiful as the sky. But in her thoughts, fat girls weren't beautiful. Thus making her not beautiful too. Not that many people would ever see that she thought that way. It would make her frustrated when people would reply with "noo! you're beautiful! and you've got the perfect body!" Lies. All of it. She didn't feel attractive to anyone. And any moment when she would feel like that she knew wouldn't occur any time soon. That was just her luck.

[David Davis]

It was one of those perfect days. The days in which it wasn't too hot, yet wasn't too cold. The clouds didn't block out the sun and people were laughing and enjoying themselves. Some were at the beach and some were picking the ripe strawberries in the fields. That's where young David was heading. He loved going there. It was the perfect spot to take pictures. Both candid and just of the plants.

His camera hung around his neck. One that his dad got him for Christmas. It was a pretty good one too. David wouldn't have been needing a new one, if one of his younger sisters hasn't broken his other one. She thought she was a professional and was hanging upside down at the arena when the camera slipped out of her hands. David was too late in catching it.

He stopped in the middle of the cabin commons. Turning to the skies, he faced his camera up just as two clouds swept in front of the sun to make a great picture. Continuing on his way, he randomly took pictures. People talking in hushed whispers, campers running and messing around, a bullseye on a target shot by an Apollo girl. He gave her a wink and grinned as she turned red and turned away from him. All these images were captured by him.

As he approached the fields, he took a overall picture of it. Then he squatted on the edge and took one of a leaf. Then of a strawberry with some morning dew on it still. As he stood, he heard a laugh coming from somewhere in the field. Not seeing anyone at the beginning he raised an eyebrow before walking in. When he finally came upon the blonde girl laying down in the dirt and looking at the sky and laughing, his eyebrow went even further up.

It was an odd sight. Someone just laughing at the sky. Not knowing if she sensed that he was there, he took a picture of the laughing face. She was a fairly cute girl. Obviously someone that he should flirt with. He sat down for a moment still not seeing what she was seeing that was making her laugh. So he laid down next to her. "So what exactly are you laughing at? They are just clouds after all." He raised his camera and took another picture of the skies.

The screen flashed once telling him that he only had 10 pictures left for this card. He gave a small sigh. He was going to need a new card or something. Turning to her slightly by raising himself on his arm he spoke. "What's a pretty girl like you doing laying over here in the dirt and cloud watching? Wouldn't you rather be at the beach with the nice cool water?" He had a teasing tone to his voice as he smiled at her. He prayed she wasn't with anyone. It wouldn't be good if something like the Chalivia ordeal happened again, his back was still sore from it.

[Lucy Sawyer]

Upon hearing a voice, Lucy turned her head to look at the boy who had just joined her. "Well," she started, looking back at the sky. "Some of them are in funny shapes." The girl laughed again as she saw another, and pointed up at it. "Like that one. I don't even know what it is, but it looks familiar. And it just... amuses me, I guess." She started to grin and looked back at him, examining him carefully. He was quite a good looking guy. She felt like she'd seen him before, but she just couldn't think where exactly. Probably just around camp.

Raising her eyebrows, she just continued to grin. Turning her head to look at him, she considered her answers. Could she even say something that sounded reasonably attractive? Nah, probably not. She could just try honesty and that would do for now. "It's nice out here." She started, "I do love the beach and the 'nice cool water' but it's beautiful out here too. What's wrong with being out here, though?" Smiling broadly, she just one eyebrow was then raised. "I could ask you the same thing." With a little pout, she added in a teasing tone equal to his, "what's a pretty boy like you doing laying over here in the dirt?" She stopped it there. By the looks of it, the boy was taking a picture of nearly everything. So he was into photography.

With her tone now sounding just a little more curious than before, she nodded at his camera as though she was gesturing to it before she started, "you any good?" Slowly, her smile turned soft. She was interested. She had wondered if this boy was a good photographer or not, although... he must be. Being out here with his camera. He might as well be.

Pausing, Lucy realized something. She didn't know who this person was, and most likely it was the same vice versa. "My name's Lucy, by the way. Lucy Sawyer of Demeter." She started to grin again, "and you?" Lucy wondered now who exactly this boy was. What was his name? What cabin was he from? All Lucy knew for sure was that he was pretty attractive. Something at the back of her mind could only think Aphrodite. But his name? Well, she'd have to wait for that.

[David Davis]

David smiled at her laugh. It was a pretty cute one. He looked up to where she was pointing. Hmmmm. It did look familiar. He furrowed his eyebrows as he concentrated on the shape of it. "You know what it almost looks like. A Pegasus. Like its rearing." He traced the outline with his finger of it, trying to cement it in his head. Hesitantly, he raised up the camera and snapped a picture.

He nodded along to what she said. That was true. True indeed. "I guess you are right. There's nothing bad about being out here. Its quiet, peaceful, and smells amazing. Plus, the beach is a little crowded. Sure I like hanging out in crowds, but sometimes." He shook his head with a grin on his face and turned to face her. He set his camera down for a minute and gave a chuckle. So she was funny, ehh? This was great. He just shrugged and answered. "I'm not like the others. I don't mind laying down and just relaxing during the day." He held up the camera for a moment. "Plus, there's better pictures here. Better still shots."

When she questioned him about the camera he grinned and took the strap off from around his neck. "See for your self. You can be the judge of them. I think I'm alright." He flicks it to the pictures so all she has to do is just flip through them.

He held out his hand to shake her and smiled back at her softly. "A pretty name for a pretty girl. I'm David Davis. A son of Aphrodite. But don't worry," he gave a little wink, "apart from a little flirting and knowing general fighting and a little charm speak, although I don't use it if I have too, I'm not have bad." He grinned at her and put his hands before his head as he leaned back waiting for her to finish looking through his pictures.

She would find just random pictures. Campers laughing, the beach and canoe lake, sunsets. Everything he seemed pretty or cool and wanted to capture for all too see.
