Mariah jumped off the boat landing on the ground perfectly then staning up proudly, and patting off small amounts of dust from her cloak. "Weirdo." Mariah mummbled as she walked back to her house, to find Sarah sitting on the front porch looking at something that was reasting in her hands. "Sarah?!" Mariah questioned irritatedly, glareing as her friend stood with her arms extended to show Mariah what she had found. "Isn't he cute!?!" Sarah asked happily, as Mariah let out an agitated sigh while walking forward to look at what was in Sarah's hands. "Sarah, what the hell is that!?" Mariah gasped, backing away from the strange looking insect that she was holding in her hands. "Its an Egyptian scorpion!" Sarah laughed, picking the arachnid up by it's poisonious tail and holding it in front of Mariah's face. "Where on earth did you get that?!" Mariah growled, backing away from the scorpion that was dangling in front of her face; Sarah pulled it away from her unhappy friend and set it onto her own sholder. "The guy I'm after never went back home today, I felt sorry for this little guy; all locked up and lonley in his little fish tank with knowone to keep him company." Sarah muttered, patting the deadly scorpion with her forefinger.
"And you took it why?" Mariah asked shaking her head angrily. "Its just not right for an innocent animal to live out it's life in a cage! They deserve to be free, and live life the way they want to!" Sarah exclaimed, raiseing her left fist into the air enthusiasticlly. "Get rid of it!" Mariah yelled, pointing at the scorpion Sarah had on the sholder. "Let me think about that, hmmm? No!" Sarah growled turning away from Mariah with her tail raised so that it was perfectly allighned with her spine. "Sarah!" Mariah growled, following her friend inside to find the house was perfectly clean; while the place usualy had slightly cluttered counters and floors. "Sarah, did you clean the house?" Mariah asked, looking around the room cautiously. "No. Audriana did, she's sort of a neat freak." Sarah said, placeing the scorpion on the counter and reaching into the cubbord to grab a glass. "Want some juice?" Sarah asked Mariah, opening the fridge to get her rassberry juice out, opening it then pouring some of the contence into her glass. "No thanks." Mariah said, grimiceing slightly while she watched Sarah chug the juice. "No offence...But that stuff is nasty." Mariah said, earning a giggle from Sarah who poured herself more juice. "Well I love my nasty juice!" Sarah said sarcastically.
"So what did you do today Riah?" Sarah asked, useing the nickname that she had given to Mariah when they became friends. "Not much, I went for a walk and got tackled by some blonde haired boy." Mariah laughed, watching her friends eye's narow in anger. "Who tackled you?! Was it Patric?! Your not hurt are you?!" Sarah growled, jumping up to grasp Mariah's sholders and look over her face; checking for scratches. "How did you hurt your head!?!" Sarah half yelled, riping the bandaid off of Mariah's forehead to look at the gash. Mariah chuckled and pushed Sarah away gently. "I ate something cold to fast and got a headache, I tryed to get rid of it by slaming my face into the wall." Mariah said smirking at the look on Sarah's face. "What made you think that doing that would make the pain stop?" Sarah asked sarcastically, running her index finger along the cut for no apparent reason. "Nothing. It was just an impulse." Mariah said driely, pushing Sarah's hand away and offering her what was left of her blizzard. "Wanna try it?" Mariah asked calmly, as Sarah took the cup from Mariah's hand cautiously.
"What is it?" Sarah asked, holding the cup under her nose and smelling it's contents with a bleak intrest. "Its ice-cream." Mariah said, pulling the spoon out of the cup and putting it into her mouth to show Sarah that it was good. "Ice-cream?" Sarah muttered, placeing the top edge of the cup against her lips and slowly tilting the cup upwards to drink the now melted blizzard. Sarah finnished off the drink and put the empty cup on the counter, licking some 'missplaced' blizzard off of the side of her mouth. "That was good." Sarah said bluntly earning a chuckle from Mariah who picked up the cup and threw it in the trash. "Well I'm glad you liked it-Ahh!" Mariah suddenly screamed; the scorpion had crawled onto her hand and pinched her. Sarah burst out laughing as Mariah held her hand against her chest, eyes widened in shock (or anger). "Sarah! Thats not funny! What if it had stung me?!" Mariah growled moveing away from the scorpion that was sitting on the counter, watching Mariah through black beady eyes. "He wasn't going to sting you." Sarah said calmly, picking up the scorpion with one hand then grasping Mariah's with the other.
"He liked this ring on your index finger." Sarah said, pointing out the metalic blue ring and holding the scorpion up to Mariah's hand; the scorpion tryed to grab the ring with his claw, pinching Mariah's hand again. Mariah jerked her hand away and watched the scorpion climb up Sarah's arm to rest on her sholder, it's eyes once again landing on Mariah who gave it a dirty look. "C'mon Mariah be nice, look we can fix the problem easily." Sarah said, walking out of the kitchen for a moment, then walking back in with a thin strip of metal; the same metal used to make Mariah's ring. "What are you gonna do with that?" Mariah asked, walking over to Sarah who put the strip of metal, and the scorpion on the counter. "Easy. I'm going to make Ra here a couple of pincer rings." Sarah said, pulling a special heating rod and a pair of pliers out of a drawer; the scorpion walked over to Sarah and watched as she wraped the metal around its left pincer, then the right. "The right claw is bigger than the left. Now all we have to do is connect the ends on the two rings..." Sarah said, tapping the heated rod against the ends of the metal and sealing them together.
"And vala, two beautiful rings for a beautiful scorpion!" Sarah said enthusiastically, putting the rings on each of the scorpions pincers. "So...its name is Ra?" Mariah asked, as Sarah picked up the scorpion who seemed to be entranced with its new rings. "Yeah, after the egyptian sun god. Seeing as how he's an egyptian scorpion." Sarah said, puting the scorpion outside and watching calmly as it scurried away. "You couldn't think of a better name?" Mariah asked with a sigh. "Well I thought that Scorpio was a lame name for a scorpion." Sarah chuckled while shrugging her sholders, walking back inside and putting her things back into there drawer. "So...your just gonna let it run around outside and fend for itself?" Mariah asked with a slightly depressed tone. "Its the law of nature, besides...most of the animals I bring here start to mutate the instant I bring them here." Sarah said bluntly, banging her hand on the wall suddenly. "What was that about?" Mariah asked Sarah who simpley leaned against the wall and pointed up the stairs. Audriana walked down the staires, holding in her hand a four day old infant.
