[KAYDEN JAMES BROWN]

So life is a fairly boring thing if you think about it. People with scheduels have it even worse. What's the fun in getting up at 8am, going to work, comming home at 8pm, and sleeping. There is no fun. Unless you include the part that you work with hot girls in a rec center all day. But that wasn't really Kayden's situation. His was more like, he worked from 5am to 2pm and then went straight to the rec center to workout. Yeah. Fun stuff. Today was a fairly angry day for the guy, so instead of lifting in his human form. He decided to shift into the addax he was and see how hard he could hit the punching bag. Let me tell you, an angry addax with the horns that kayden had is not someone to mess with. The exact opposite actually.

In his current state of mind, all he wanted to do was rip the next person he saw to shreads and just like a lion, he was well equipt to doing that. His horns gere very long, pointed at the ends, and swirling. With a loud huff he launched himself into the 300 pound bag, sending it flying across the room by the little sliding thingy it was connected to at the top. The animals breath quickened as he grew angry. But suddenly, the anger faded. He guessed he was just to tired to continue on with this endless beating of the heavy bag. In a few moments, Kayden stood in his human form a little taller then 6 feet. Sweat dripped from his body but that was solved with a quick white of his face and hands with a rag. Off to lift weights for a while. Maybe someone would come around to keep him company. If not, off to the pool he would have to go....alone...

[MELODY RAE OLSEN]

From inside of the recreation center, all seemed fine and dandy in the outside world. It was a nice day - the sun was out, the temperature was nice, and everyone just seemed to be in a good mood. Well, almost everyone.

”Fuuuuuck!” the curse could be heard all throughout the building, even though the doors were closed. The next instant, a small crab approached the double glass doors, halting in front of them. It was rather funny, actually - the realization that such a small creature had such a large and dominating voice. The small crustacean then furiously threw its crabs to the ground, then waved them around over its head while looking up at the motion censor on the door. With a fit of rage, the crab suddenly began growing, and transformed into the form of a teenage girl, and the door slid open ahead of her. At this point, Rae’s face was almost as bright as her hair, and she stormed into the rec with her hands clenched by her side. She ripped off her jacket, throwing it near the coat rack by the wall, then began to strip off her sweat pants, adding them to the pile. Now, she was scantily clothed in only a black sports bra and very small, bright pink shorts.

Rae made her way through the center, passing all types of workout machines. At one point, she caught sight of some antelope thing ramming into the punching bag. She laughed, cynically, but decided not to go any further. She turned, then hopped onto one of the ellipticals that faced a large mirror. She set her iPod down on the top of the machine, then put the headphones in her ears, all the while keeping an eye on the strange animal behind her.

Within moments, Rae was lost in the music. Her eyes were closed, and her feet moved in a circular motion with the rhythm of the song. “Holy shit!“ All of a sudden, she heard a crash behind her, and she whipped her head around. The earbuds fell from her ears, and her quick motion almost sent her stumbling off of the elliptical. With her knuckles turning white from clutching the rails of the machine, she regained her stature, cleared her throat, and tried to get back to “running.” But then, the creature shifted, into a (rather handsome) boy, refocusing Rae’s attention on him. She watched as he wiped the towel over his body, then walked over to the weights.

Slowly, Rae stepped off of the machine, grabbing her iPod as she did so, and she pranced over to the boy. ”Bravo, what a nice little stunt you performed there! If only I could do that with my shift.” Sarcasm, complete and utter sarcasm. It was how Rae always chose to approach situations - while she was upfront, she rarely cared what others thought of her tone and choice of words. If they didn’t like it, then that was their problem, and if they did…well, that opened up a whole new chapter in Rae’s novel.

[KAYDEN JAMES BROWN]

Kayden hadn't gotten to far. One push up and a girls words rang through his ears. He lifted the weight up and let it fall as quietly as possible into place on the little hook. His breathing was heavy and his face was red, but he didn't much care. Shirtless was how he generally worked out, especially today. With a swift movement he picked up the towel again and whiped his face off as he sat up to look at the girl. When he heard her sarcastic tone, he raised an eyebrow, his mouth hanging open as air moved in and out of it. He chuckeled lightly to himself as he let the rag fall to the floor so he could think of something to say. "It isn't that special. It's what happens when all you do is workout. You get to have the ability to do things." He smiled and flexed a bit as he pushed himself off the bench to stand. He was slightly taller then her and fairly more built. It made him happy to be the bigger person.

"You don't seem to be to fond of your shift. I'm sure you wanna tell me what it is." He smiled a smile that begged to know what it was that she was so unhappy to shift into. Well maybe she wasn't unhappy, but she could be happier. Kayden took this quick chance to look her over. Very lean with toned muscles. Probably from comming to the rec place. Her hair...very interesting color. But it didn't bother him. She looked hot with it. Her attitude amused him the most. She was a social person but not someone you would exactly seem to call friendly. Was he right at all?

[MELODY RAE OLSEN]

Rae circled the boy, one hand on her hip while the other clung to her iPod. She looked away from him, emphasizing a, still sarcastic, manner of thinking. "Oh I bet you are just dying to know what I shift into, aren't you? Isn't everyone? 'Oh I'm a dashing, exotic tiger', 'yes well, i'm a beautiful wolf', 'oh yeah? well i'm a big ol' fucking antelope'. " Her voice was sarcasm to the max, but a playful undertone created the silver lining. She laughed before stopping her strut, infront of the boy. "Well, I'm a crab...a fucking crab...awesome, isn't it?" Rae scoffed, then rolled her eyes. She then looked off to the side, eying the weights that the boy had just been using. She turned, her stylish, pink tennis shoes quietly moving across the hard floor. She examined the weights for a moment, then picked up the same dumbbell that the boy had used. She lifted it a few times, allowing her own large, yet feminine, muscles flex - showing off a bit to the boy, just as he had seemed to do.

"So handsome, I assume you either don't come here much, or you're new to this shit-hole of a town...I haven't seen you around before, and this is one of my spots. So spit it out, what's your name?" Rae sat the weight back down with a clang, showing much less control than the boy had done. She walked back over to him, and straightforwardly examined the boy. She nodded in approval, as a devious smile snuck across her face.

All of her actions, her words, the movement, it was overwelming. Maybe because she was so pretty. Maybe that was it. Either way, all Kayden could manage to do was watch and chuckle to himself as she walked back and forward going on and on with much sarcasm about what everyone said they shifted into. When she stopped in front of him and said what she really did shift into, his mouth, which had just been hanging open, curled up into a smile as he let out a few laughs. "A crab? haha. Priceless." He watched as she then went to lift the weights. Showing off what a crab could do? She obviously wanted to prove something against the comment he had made.

As she spoke again, eyeing him as he had done before, she seemed a little less sarcastic. It was nice. Being in tune with reality instead of sarcasm. At least it was easy to tell when she was being sarcastic. He hated it when people were hard to tell if they were being sarcastic or not. But anyway, back to her question. With a sly smile, he thought quickly of something to say. He had gained back his breath now so he wasnt gasping anymore. "Kayden. But you can just keep calling me handsome if you want" He winked at her. "What about yourself, whats your name. I bet its something hot, cause damn do you look it." He cracked himself up.

What would this girl want out of him though. She didn't exactly seem like the kind to date. Then again, neither was he. Dating...wasn't his thing. He liked being the big guy with all the girls clinging to his side. Not the nice guy with the pleasnt little wifey that always followed him around. Oh no. That is NOT how he wanted it to be.

[MELODY RAE OLSEN]

"Kayden, hmm? Well Kayden, if I were you, I wouldn't choose to act so full of myself." She winked - but the compliment would not be uttered from her mouth again, that was for sure. She then broke into a full blown laugh, then settled down as she spoke again."Ohh...aren't you just so sweet!" responding to his "hot" comment with her typical tone, almost in a mocking way. She did not state her name immediately, she wanted to keep him waiting, wanting something he couldn't have. She was a tease, that was for sure, and she knew how to manipulate people, no matter what their gender was.

"Rae - just Rae, you don't need to know the rest...I don't plan on granting you access to much more of my life, so my full name is of no matter." As she spoke, she continued in her same, stalking circle. But this time, she lightly dragged her index finger over the bare skin of his chest, around his arms and back, then back to his chest - pressing a bit harder as she stopped once more. "So Kayden, are you going to continue this quite 'masculine' workout, or were you thinking of going...somewhere else?" Rae eyed the boy, seductively. She had no clue how he thought (though she assumed, because he was a boy), nor how he would react...but again, she had nothing to lose. Either he turned her down, and Rae forgot about the encounter, or he chose to include her in his plans, and perhaps the two of them could have a little fun.

[KAYDEN JAMES BROWN]

The girl was a tease. A flat out tease. And it seemed like she knew it and didn't give a shit. It slightly pissed Kayden off, but what the hell, she was hot, he wasn't going to walk away. As she spoke her name, she seemed to feel the need to give a short explination. Whatever floated her boat, he didn't mind. So it was rae. Yup, as he guessed, it was a hot name. As she finished up her explination, he raised an eyebrow and his smile faded. No he wasn't exactly looking for a relationship but he felt that it was weird that she stated flat out to him that she didn't plan on including him in her life. He didn't get to know her full name! Then again, she didn't know his either.

As she trailed her finger against his skin, he grinned. She obviously got straight to the point, at least, if she was thinking what he was thinking. When she pressed harder, it only made his grin bigger. He tensed his muscles, showing off and becomming amused at the fact that her finger couldnt push into the muscle no matter how much force she applied. "So Kayden, are you going to continue this quite 'masculine' workout, or were you thinking of going...somewhere else?" It took only this and the blood started running down to his man area<3. With a sly grin he turned and slid his arm around Rae's waist and gently pulled her along with him out of the rec room. "As a matter of fact I was planning on either hitting the pool or going back to my dorm. You choose." He spoke with a smile as his hand slid from her waist to pull open the door to his car. It was a new mustang, royal blue colored. ( car clicky! i want one(: )

[MELODY RAE OLSEN]

Rae stepped sharply out of the boy's reach, eying him with a grin upon her face. Shaking her finger, she laughed, "Whoa, down boy! No need to overwhelm me with some kind of infatuatous affection." She pushed his arm down by his side, the preceded ahead of him. She walked over to the area next to the entrance, grabbing her cover up clothes as well as a black duffel back with a pink strap. The glass doors then parted in front of her, blowing her hair back momentarily, almost like a super model. She stepped outside and onto the sidewalk near the parking lot, then glanced around. The sun was still high up in the sky, making the day feel a bit warmer than it actually was. "I have a better idea, how does the park sound? If you feel like swimming, just jump in the pond." Rae laughed, knowing that, while the pool would have been heated, the pond definitely was not. But then again, Rae had no intention of swimming at the pool - the company there was never pleasant to be around.

Rae turned, facing Kayden and then following him into the parking lot. He opened the door of a rather new and pretty nice car. 'Hmm...a rich boy, are we?' Rae smiled, and looked the car over before walking to the door. "Hmm...a flashy car to take the attention off of all of your personal flaws, just what I expected." A sadistic stab to the boy's ego, most likely. "Well, I assume you're waiting on my response to your 'ride'...and I suppose I'll give you the benefit of the truth - I do like it, so there you go...a few points in my book." She sat down in the passenger seat quickly, then pulled the door from Kayden's grasp, slamming it with a loud bang.

[KAYDEN JAMES BROWN]

Kayden didn't quite like the fact that she pushed his arm aside. Don't play a guy like him, it didn't look very good in his book. Especially if his parts get into the idea of having some fun, only to have a move such as the one he attemtped to pull get shot down. Whatever though. Kayden would get her. When she spouted off a nasty comment about his ego, he simply rolled his eyes. Whatever floated her boat would work for him. As he opened the door for her, he smiled and said a thank for for the comment before watching her slide into the seat and slam the door. Kayden walked to the drivers side and slid in, shutting his own door before turning to Rae. "Easy on the car babe, it's new. And a little hint, I don't like the park. Your actions said one thing and your words now seem to say another. I don't like being played, so if you're gonna keep fucking with me then please, tell me where you wanna go and I'll drop you off. If you're done having fun, maybe we can go somewhere. Other then the park." She could take it or leave it. She could get a ride somewhere and go on with the day by herself or she could calm the hell down and stop messing with him. They could go where ever she wanted. Other then the park. Or the activity center. He was a beach boy or a movies boy or an at home boy. Not a park and social loving boy. Whatever though.

After all, she was simply just a girl he met at the rec center. She didn't seem to have him in her plans for the future and as of now, she wasn't really in his. Other then the fact that he wanted to bang her.

[MELODY RAE OLSEN]

"Aww, no park? Too bad...there are plenty of secluded places there." Rae shrugged her shoulders, emitting a girlish "Hmph" before examining her pink-glossed nails. Her eyebrows then rose with a bit of irritation as the boy started to get blunt and even a bit rude to her. She scoffed, then laughed, still focused on her nails. "I think you are the one who needs to chill out a little. Just because actions don't match up with words in your book, doesn't mean they aren't partners in mine." She winked at him, though an air of the looming sarcasm still clung tightly. Suddenly, Rae turned to face the boy, knowing that he could not focus closely on her since he was driving. "You wanna drop me off, then fine. Games are my specialty, and its your lost fuck if you choose your own petty feelings over your raging hormones, or even mine. So if fun isn't your 'thing'...then what the hell am I doing here?" Honestly, this guy was beginning to piss Rae off. Wasn't the point of sex, or anything for that matter, to have fun? Too bad that this guy seemed to take some playful teasing so seriously, Rae initially thought a one time stand with him may be entertaining, but now, she wasn't so sure. But, out of the kindness of her sweet, innocent heart, she would give him another chance.

"So, handsome," ha, so, she had used the term of endearment once more, though it was hardly to flatter him. "You take me where you want to go, since you didn't like my suggestion." With that, Rae lifted up her hand, and grabbed onto the rear view mirror, gently, so as not to upset Kayden. She tilted the mirror up, so that its view of the back was obscured. She took her black duffel bag and tossed it into the bag seat, then climbed between the driver and passenger seat into the back as well. With a feminine grunt, Rae pulled her skimpy top up over her head, followed by her shorts. She sat there for a moment, dressed in only a black sports bra and a frilly black thong. Finally, they, too, made their way onto the floor board of the car, and were replaced by a bikini. She tugged a loose tshirt over her head, and pulled on a clean pair of shorts. Now, she was prepared - whether it was the pool or park, she could go swimming, and if not...well...they were as easy to get off as underwear would be.

[KAYDEN JAMES BROWN]

So the first few moments she seemed to be pouty about not going to the park. The next two she was bitching at him for not being fun. And the next she was calling him handsome again and climbing into the back of his car to change. What the hell is up with women?! They're so freaking hard to understand. When he was fairly sure she was finished changing, he popped the mirror back into place and started the car. "How's the beach sound. I know a little cove that people don't go to. The water's pretty warm there to if ya wanna go swimming. Plus, its a fairly private area. Justsayin.." Even if they weren't going to the beach, everything was located on the same road so out of the lot he pulled and on to the road.

Kayden liked music and judgeing by the fact that the girl carried around an ipod earlier, he guessed she liked it too. With a smile, he looked back at her. "What type of music do you listen to Rae?" She seemed like a punk girl, but he wouldn't exactly be supprised if she listened to opera or something. Kayden didn't usually judge a book by its cover. Especially one so unpredictable as Rae seemed to be. One moment she was pouting, the next bitching, the next she was using nice words. So confusing. Eventually he gave up on trying to understand girls. That was when he decided they were only around for a good fuck.

But there was something about Rae that he wanted to know. There was something about her that made him want to know her for more then just an amazing fuck which, he didn't dout she would be. Maybe it was the fact that she liked games so much. Maybe it was the fact that she didn't date guys or want Kayden in her life. Maybe that was what made him want to date her. Eventually...maybe...

"So babe." Yes he would use it a lot. "To the beach?"

[MELODY RAE OLSEN]

After completing her transformation, Rae made her way back to the front seat, leaving her underwear and workout clothes all over the back of the car. Even in an old, worn out tshirt and short, she still seemed to make a high-end, fashion statement. Maybe it was because of her hair, or maybe it was just Rae, she gave off that kind of vibe all the time. Anyways, she listened quietly, for once, as the boy spoke, smiiling instead of laughing as she pulled down the visor, then peered into the mirror. She took a black rubberband from around her wrist, then quickly began grabbing her pink locks in a jumble. In only a few seconds, it was in a messy pony tail off the back of her head, the type that look messy upon close inspection, but somehow workout to have an overall stylish appearance.

"Hmm...music? I'm not really picky on type, moreso on lyrics - none of that sappy, nauseating stuff." She laughed before flipping the visor back up to the ceiling. If she had to pick, Classic Rock would probably be her choice, but the boy didn't need to know that. The general statement she had given was enough to tide him over, and besides, it was true, so why did any more detail matter?

Rae settled into her seat, relaxing as she let out a deep sigh. Maybe this guy wasn't so bad...he just had to get used to her. Rae wasn't like other girls, she broke all of the norms of communication. She was never predictable, she never followed those unspoken 'codes' that girls usually lived by. Finally, Kayden spoke again, addressing her as babe. Rae rolled her eyes, but decided to go along with it just this once. Maybe she was being too harsh...hah...if that was the truth, then this guy was even more of a pansy than she thought. But, oh well, she knew his mind was only focused on one thing, so she'd let him have what he wanted this once...though he'd probably be begging for it again later. "Beach it is..." Rae responded, with only a small amount of sarcasm leeching into her words.
