Paige walks back from Geoff's and sits next to Maia

"Well that was fun." she says meaning the thing at the diner, "Luke's it is from now on then!"

Maia chuckled with laughter "Yeah I think so." Maia tossed another bit of bread out. "S'ok Luke's has a better vibe to it."

"yeah the diminished chance of receiving death threats also adds to the atmosphere of somewhere doesn't it? I really don't get why Deb doesn't believe what happened, I guess cos she didn't see it for herself. At least Michael knows it wasn't me!" she sighs

Maia laughs at the first part "Yep. Well that is good Michael does. I guess just push the rest of it away that's what I do." Maia was happy nothing was going to ruin her day she had talking with her mother.

"Yeah I guess so," she says, planning on seeing if Michael can actually explain what happened to his mother

Maia takes Paige's hand into her for a moment and watches the fountain. "They are just people like you and me Paige. They mess up, they misunderstand things. I was angry at first about Tara and what happened but it was a misunderstanding, albeit a huge one and now we can't ever have a lemon bar at Debs again, but they are just people. They act like what we did is so terrible when they have done things just as bad, sometimes worse sometimes not. Things they regret and are ashamed of and we go on and stumble around until it goes away. You've paid your debt for it Paige, all that happened that you could not control and all that happened that you could. I handled the situation with Tara badly and now I cannot correct it because.." Maia shrugged "They are just people, ordinary people who cannot admit they misunderstood something. I have decided to not lose sleep over it, care or attempt to correct anything concerning it any longer. I know that I did not threaten her, if she feels I did, that is her hangup not mine. The mere fact she feels that I did, shows that she did not know me at all and so I cannot be upset over someone who so obviously did not know me. So please think of that when you get upset over the things that happened, with everything ok. Their just people is all." Maia sits quietly still holding Paige's hand.

Paige nods "you're right, I just can't stand people hating me like that for something I had so little control over, but at least the people who actually do know me, I mean Geoff and Michael forgive me. It's just I wish none of this had ever happened."

She pauses "I think you might be wrong about James by the way. I saw him today."

Maia nodded "Yeah I think I'll keep my mouth shut with people who don't give a shit about me from now on or who just pretend to care about me." Maia sighed closing her eyes for a moment focusing on her moms voice again, her mother had called her 'maia baby' Maia remembered that, it gave her a sense of wellbeing now to have let her mother know she was ok and to have told her mother that she loved her.

Maia tilts her head now at Paige "Am I?" Her eyebrow raised

Paige nods "yeah I think you might be, I mean no offense to you or your gift, but seriously he's still being a stuborn pig and I'm not gonna apologise first, he's the one in the wrong not me!" she tells her ignoring the fact this meant she was being just as stuborn as Sawyer

Maia's eyebrow raises in amusement. "Oh?" Was all Maia could manage without laughing. She had not said it was going to be the next day or the day after that. Maia shook her head and tried to keep a giggle away.

"maybe it was someone how just looked a bit like him" she suggests hopefully

She looks at Maia "seriously, I'm not taking him back no matter how sexy he is" she tells her as she shakes her head trying to make herself believe it

Maia couldn't help it now she started to giggle furiously. "Maybe" She said in a very 'i am saying this because you want me to even though you know i am full of shit and it is really sawyer your seeing' voice.

Paige sighs "he'd better show up with jewellery!" she says

Maia chuckled and hugged Paige.

If Maia and Paige would look up into a tree by the pond, they would notice a parrot wearing a pirate hat.

They would definitely hear the insults he's hurling at the ducks.

"Hang 'em from the yardarm!" he screeched in tiny parroty rage.

Maia glances up at the Parrot. "Ooooo look at the weeny parrot and his little hat, he's like puss with his little boots."

The parrot preened, then flew down to strut in front of the girls.

The ducks certainly don't have his beautiful plumage.

"Shiver me timbers!" he squawked.

"who's a pretty boy?" Paige asks offering it some of her muffin

The parrot snapped at the pieces of muffin, then hopped close enough for the girls to pet him if they'd like to.

Paige smiles and reaches out a hand to stroke him, placing a little more of the muffin next to him "aren't you just adorable?" she says gently stroking him and only half thinking she could get her hand pecked off at any moment

Maia who normally was a little timid around birds reached her hand out gently and touched his feather. "Hello little pirate." She said holding a little piece of bread in her hand and keeping her palm flat. "Do you want some more food?"

The parrot, after finishing up the muffin pieces Paige had given and getting pet for a while, hopped over to Maia's hand.

If parrots could smirk, he'd be smirking. The ducks were getting no love tonight.

"Wind in her sails," he cried, "Wind in her sails!"

[OOC: *loses at LJ tonight*]

Maia giggles and gets brave and stroked the parrot from under his hat to the tail feathers. "Your so cute. Where do you belong little fellow? You can come stay in my dorm if you want."

The parrot flew onto the back of the bench, directly between Paige and Maia. He looked at the two of them, then at the ducks.

He bet the ducks never got asked to go home with anyone.

But he was a parrot who could not be tied down. With a look of parrot-y regret, he took to the skies.

But not before his system evacuated the parts of the muffin and bread he wasn't going to be using.

Parroty poop would be landing on Maia and Paige if they don't move quickly.

Sorry about that.

Maia saw it before it happened and pushed Paige slightly out of the way laughing.

"thanks" she says to Maia "although apparently it's meant to be good luck!" she adds

Maia looked at what had hit the bench "I think I'll uh, I'll go without that bit thanks." Maia giggled and handed Paige a penny. "Blow on it and make a wish" She smiled holding her own penny to throw in the fountain.

Paige does as she's told I wish James weren't such a stuborn jackass she thinks as she tosses in to the water
