  • Lara's eyes widened as her eyebrows raised high above them. "Paris?!" she grabbed a passport from him and stared at it. "Me?!" she was quite surprised RJ would choose her out of all of his friends and buddies. He chose her to join him in a Paris adventure.

    "Wow...RJ!" she leapt at him, gently of course, and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, giving him a good size hug (for a human!). She made sure to be gentle with him, as if he were a fragile item than her cousin. "I'd love to join you!"

RJ laughed out loud as Lara leapt into his arms once again. He was thrilled to see such a good response. In fact, just seeing her reaction made him feel even more excited for the pending trip. He spun her around one more time and set her back down. He had wondered how Lara would be able to really enjoy Paris considering she was now a vampire, but after some thought, he came to a conclusion. "I have it all planned out! We'll lounge in the hotel and rest up during the day, and at night we'll go out on the town! We'll see all of the sites, eat all of the cuisine, and experience everything France has to offer. Then, when the sun's coming up we'll call it a night until it's time to do it all over again. It'll be great!" RJ had barely taken a breath throughout his entire rant, so when he was finished, he was worn out and panting to catch his breath, still with a big grin on his face.

  • Lara laughed. She loved how her cousin had thought about her when planning this trip out, but she had always wanted to see Paris. She had studied the language back in her human years, which seemed foggy now. "You know, you're the best cousin, ever!" she grinned and her red brown eyes seemed to twinkle in the faint moonlight. "Paris will be more beautiful at night anyway, I mean, they light up the Eiffel Tower, right?" she winked and then let out a sigh. "I'm extremely excited now! This term won't be short enough!" though Lara did find it a bit upsetting that leaving Hogwart's wouldn't bother her, but hell, it wasn't like she was aging or anything.

RJ could only shake his head when Lara refered to him as, "the best cousin ever" he never considered himself to be that good of one. He always wished he could do something more to make Lara smile, especially after all she had been through. "It'll be a great trip ... Now if we can just survive this term we'll be good to go. My mom has already set things up with a hotel and everything."

The boy paused and let out a sigh. There wasn't that big of an age gap between himself and Lara, but he dreaded the thought of having to go through his own last year at Hogwarts without her. She would be graduating after the coming term, and although RJ was thrilled for her, he couldn't help but feel a little sad about it. Just a little. "Hey, Lara? What exactly do you plan on doing after you graduate?" He asked, giving her a curious look. He knew that her being a vampire would most likely cause things to be a little more difficult for her. "Apart from the trip to Frace, of course." He added with a light chuckle.

  • The word "mom" made her flinch, and Lara knew exactly why. Her mother was still on the loose, and she wished everyone looking for her luck. Her mother was a great witch, and it would take ALOT to catch her. Brenda Sullivan could be anywhere, and she could be anyone.

    "Well.." she felt moisture gather in her eyes but she shook the thought away. "I wanted to be a professor, but that won't work out." she bit her lower lip as she went deeper into thought, and her eyes began to water. "RJ, I'm immortal. Everyone around me is going to get old and die." she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and took a deep breath, his scent filling her nostrils. "I can't lose you..."

RJ was taken aback, and almost frightened by Lara's sudden change of mood. She had gone from bursting with excitement, to teary eyed and sad faster than RJ could see the transition. He was a little hesitant at first when Lara grabbed onto him, unsure of how exactly to handle and respond to what she was saying, but after a moment he wrapped his own arms around her waist and held her tight, now beginning his mood to falter as well. Death hadn't been something he had thought about lately ... At least not for himself. His brow furrowed as he thought about it. Finally, after a deep breath, RJ spoke up. "I think you're gonna have to eventually, taking into consideration that I'm mortal." RJ paused, took Lara by the shoulders and held her out until she was standing in front of him. He could see a tear running down her cheek, and so he quickly wiped it away with the back of his hand. He hated to see her cry.
He absolutely hated it. "But I swear I'll be around for as long as I possibly can be. I won't let you go in on this alone." He said, his eyes looking deeply into hers.

  • Lara smiled a little through the watery eyes as RJ wiped a falling tear away. All of her friends, Kenneth, her cousin. Everyone was going to leave her. She would become cold, heartless, and shallow, just like Caroline was. "It's not right..." she sighed, suddening taking interest in her converse. "Could you imagine what it's like, knowing that eventually, you'll lose everyone?" she glanced up at his face and sighed again.

RJ glanced over to the side and pursed his lips in thought. The idea was too much for him to even begin to comprehend. He had never looked at Lara's situation in this light. "I can't even begin to imagine."
He uttered quietly. Looking back at Lara, RJ tilted his head to the side and forced the smallest hint of a smile to come to his lips. He wasn't sure if any positive words would be able to soothe Lara at the moment, but it was worth a shot, right? "Just think though, you'll be there to see our family grow.
It seems like it's just you and I now, but you and I will probably end up having kids in the future, right?"

RJ paused and shuddered at the thought of himself being a father. "You'll be there to help raise them and their children and their childrens' children ... You'll be the eternal Sullivan!" He said, now grinning in hopes that Lara could too.

  • Lara shrugged her shoulders and shook her head, surpressing yet another sigh. "I don't think i'd ever be able to curse someone with this." she smiled, however, and patted RJ on the shoulder. "It was worth a shot, coz." she winked.

RJ chuckled ... At least Lara was smiling. It was obvious that she was still feeling upset, but she wasn't crying. RJ followed suit and offered a small grin, nodding his head as if to assure Lara. "Everything will be okay. I promise. You just gotta keep movin' on like they say ... Whoever they are." RJ stopped and chuckled again, beginning to feel genuine happiness slipping back into his mood.

Suddenly, RJ's wrist watch let ot a small beep. It was midnight. RJ looked down at it and sighed. He had been setting the alarm for a reason and he knew he had to stick to it. "It's getting late, and I have to work in the morning, so I should be leaving soon, that is if you're feeling better." He said, giving Lara a playful smirk.

  • Lara nodded her head quietly, and gave RJ another tight hug. "I'm just going to focus on the present.." she said, referring to both RJ's wonderful gift, and the current time. "Thank you, RJ, for everything." she smiled, and pushed her passport gently into her back pocket of her jeans, and bounded away, as quickly as a...vampire.

RJ hugged back and nodded his head. Lara was feeling better, and it seemed as though nearly everything in his life was good again. There was nothing more to say. The boy hopped back on his right foot and turned around, shoving his hands into his pockets and leaving the garden feeling great. Not only had he given Lara a gift, they had also had a talk, which even though the topic itself was all but good, the conversation had been. And for that, RJ was very thankful.
