Blueberry Xena Rize

"Get off the counter," Blue says to her little sister, Nettie. She was growing up fast, and already reached her shoulder. She'd finally figured out how to talk back, which was utterly unacceptable. Blue wonders if that was what being a mother was like. Perhaps, in a sense, she was a bit of a mother. She watched Nettie all the time, taught her, kicked her out of bed to close the door. Well that last part was more sisterly. Out of routine, she pries her sister off the counter and sets her on the ground, then grabs her bag and opens the door. "You coming?"

"No, Ingrid wants to show me some tricks," Nettie says in her most innocent voice. I know she is hiding something, but I ignore it. She needed some trouble everyone once in a while, for she usually just ran away from everything. As Blue shuts the door and begins walking towards the square, she shifts through her things. Book, knife, some cherries, a stone Nettie painted and gave to her. Hm, might come in handy. That girl was clever without even knowing it.

A few people are pushed out of the way as she makes her way through the crowd, fighting against the other careers intent on being the first out of the bustle. When she finally breaks through, she takes a deep breath, inhaling the less clumped air. Walking, walking, walking, as long as it takes to reach the other side, to the grocer. She was in need of some of that very sticky tape, or if possible, wood glue. One of the table legs snapped, and was in need of repair.

Walking into the store, she grabs the first bottle of wood glue she sees, then turns around to pay the man. As she walks out of the store, she notices a familiar looking head. For a few seconds she simply glances a few times, then eventually stares. Blue's stare could be very scary, if seen close up, but from a distance it only looked minorly stalker-ish. Finally, she progresses to moving closer until it comes to her.

"What a surprise this is," she says, "My boyfriend has finally decided to exist." An edge of irritation slips into her voice as she remembers the title given shortly after leaving the forest. Hadn't she seen him with some other girl, only a few weeks ago?

It was one of the first days he didn't have Renn by his side, and he didn't like it much. He felt like a part of him was missing, a part of him that he longed to have by his side. There was no getting her at this point though, they had decided to have a day where they just did what they wanted without the other around. He figured he owed that much to her since he wouldn't allow her to get involved in any fights. In any event he found himself at a loss with no idea what to do. So far he had wandered in and out of training facilities in the hopes he would find something to do, but unfortunately since getting together with Renn his fighting career had been at a stand still. He still got in the odd fight, but not like he used to, his status as the unbeaten fighter had come to an end. No longer was he sought out as the one to beat, his career had come to a close.

Leaning agains the side of a building he watched people walk by, and his eyes caught sight of someone he didn't think he would ever see again. It was none other than Nettie Rize, younger sister of Blueberry, or Blue as he used to call her, and she had grown into quiet the young lady. However this made a feeling of dread settle over him, where Nettie was Blue was close behind, and she was the last person he wanted to see now. He didn't move from the spot he was standing instead choosing to watch Nettie. She walked down the stret some ways and met up with another girl about her age and than disappeared around the corner. That's when everything went wrong, so very wrong. Stupidly he decided at that moment to move away from the wall, and that caught the attention of none other than Blueberry Rize herself. At first he didn't realize that she was so close until he heard that familiar voice, the mocking tone with a slight touch of bitterness. Apparently she hadn't forgotten about him either....lucky him.

Turning around he gave her a half hearted smile and wouldn't look her in the eyes. He remembered how fiesty Blue was, and he also knew that they at one point had been dating. It wasn't for very long, but they dated none the less. Chances were that word had spread about him and Renn and she knew about them being together, but knowing her she wouldn't be happy about it. He backed up until he felt the wall behind him and looked for a route of escape, but couldn't find any. It was only a matter of time before he had to face her anyways, the district was only so big.

"Well...hello Blue, I wasn't expecting to see you...around. Uh, it's nice to see you again, I've missed you. How long has it been now...a few months at least? Ugh, I'm just going to tell it to you straight Blue, I'm engaged now...to Renn Perrysworth. I didn't see you around for so long I thought that you had found someone else to make you happy. So in turn I moved on to find someone to make me happy. I never forgot about you Blue, I never forgot about you or Nettie. Look, I never meant to do you any harm by that, but I love Renn, I can't leave her now. Just understand okay Blue, and don't try and mess her up. I know you, and you're very vindictive."

He was unsure how she would react, and he held his breath waiting to see or rather hear her reaction. She was as volatile as a volcanoe and it was only a matter of time before she blew her top off.

"Engaged.... Renn.... Perrysworth...." Blue huffs, her face heating up so slightly. It hurt. Even for someone as cold and careless as Blueberry, it was misery to know she could not have him anymore. He had moved on, and she could not pull him back, she could tell. There had been a good number of boys in her life, but most had chickened out after a week of being with her. She'd counted on Xander staying. Her hands clench and clench a few times as she takes deep breaths. She would not hurt him. She would not hurt him. She refused to hurt him.

"Don't you dare..." she begins, eyes flashing, "EVER call me Blue again. My name is Blueberry." Only Nettie called her Blue, just like before. Her parents were long gone, her brothers were too scared to see her anymore, and Xander was engaged. That left one person she could care about honestly, and she had the girl run off without a proper explanation. For all she knew, Nettie was caught in a fight.

Blue drops the bottle of glue in her bag, almost mechanically. There was again the feeling to hit someone, hurt them, or trick them. Xander was currently her first voice, but she could not hurt him.

Unfortunately the reaction he had figured she would have she did have. She got that look in her eyes like she wanted to hit the nearest object to her. There was also some hurt though in her eyes, he had always had alot of pride in knowing he could bring out the "other" side of Blue, but this time it made him feel terrible. She didn't deserve to be hurt, but there was nothing he could do now. He could use the old cliche line that they could still be friends but it was unlikely she would accept. Watching her carefully he gauged his next move, she was still talking, but her teeth ground against eachother and her fists clenched and unclenched.

She was hurt, angry and it was likely she wanted to kill him at this point, he didn't have to many options especially since his back was to a wall. Perhaps for old times sake they could hang out for a while, keep up that friendship that had started. He still loved her, she was the first girl to understand him, but he couldn't leave Renn now. Hastily he came to a decision and stepped forward, taking her hands he pulled her into him and gave her a kiss. Than he backed away with a grin on his face, it was time to let her unleash her inner beast.

"Well Blue, you could stand there or you could get that revenge you so dearly want to get on me. You know you want to make me feel the pain that you're feeling. Come on, we can still be friends Blue, I never would have left you if I had know you were still around. I didn't see you around, ever, and I found someone else. I still care about you and Nettie so don't close me off from everything. Look, let's just hang out today, you and me together. We'll go find Nettie like we used to and see if she's causing trouble, and just hang out."

He knew it sounded lame, and it probably wouldn't do any good but he hoped it would. He genuinely still had feelings for her and wanted to still be here friend. Plus he was interested in seeing if Nettie still remembered him, chances were she would and she had acquired Renn's attitude.

He kissed her. For however brief a time, he kissed her, and for however brief a time, she was calm for the first time in her life. She flinches, irritated, as he continues to use her nickname, but lets him finish talking. As he does, Blue lists things in her head to hurt him for. When he finishes, she wonders if he has enough fingers and toes to rip off and rearrange for a few seconds. Then the calm attitude flies out the window as she is again the same-old aggressive Blueberry of pain. She takes a moment to slap him, strong and quick. She did not watch him after that, but stared at the wall behind him. If she wanted to do anything, now was the time. But for some strange reason, she did not want to.

"Nettie... she isn't a lamb any more. More of a fox. Sly, clever, quiet. My new favorite animal, but the opposite of me. She also got those hormones you school-agers like to bathe in. And my name is still Blueberry." She never did fancy younger men. For a moment she seriously considers bashing his face with Nettie's rock, even wrapping her hand around it, before her mood swings again and she lets it go. "But she is still Nettie. Wants to know everything."

As though her name was Beetlejuice, she bursts through the crowd and wraps herself around Blue's leg. "If a tall man with yellow hair in a white suit mentions a pile of dead pigeons say I was with you!!" Nettie says, her voice fast with jumbled words. Blue remembers the first time Nettie had met Xander. "Oh. Xander. Hi..." Nettie looks between her sister and Xander.

He could tell she was thinking about something, her body language was always so predicatable. Infact it didn't take him long to figure her out when they had first met, she was alot like him, or at least how he used to be. That's why he had liked her in the first place, she was so much like him in so many ways. He still liked her for that, she was a connection to how he used to be, but what would she think now if she knew he had gone soft? Perhaps it was better that she wasn't accepting his proposal to spend the day together, she would find to much to make fun of at this particular moment. Though he had sensed a change in her when he had kissed her so maybe there was a hope yet for a friendship.

She returned quickly to that harsh condescending Blue though, and proceeded to talk about Nettie. A change of pace from the obvious anger and resentment she had for him. It was good to hear that she was doing well, and it wasn't at all surprising that she was taking after Blue. A fox Blue called her, a sly cunning fox, and than had the nerve to say that it wasn't like her. Of course it was like her, just a younger version of her, one of those indenial moments where you don't see yourself in your siblings. "Always nice to hear some good news like that, though I can't see why you say it's not like you. As for those hormones, well I believe it was your hormones that made you like me in the first place, or do you like to forget that happened. You know what I'll keep calling you Blue, just like I did before, because I can. We both know that as violent as we both are we could never hurt eachother."

He was ready to continue on, but suddenly as if she knew that she was being talked about Nettie burst through the crowd. Latching onto Blue's leg she gave some conveluded story about a man with yellow hair and a white suit involving pidgeons. He couldn't make any sense of it all. It was than that she finally caught sight of him and gave him one of those greetings that had become familiar to him. It was that same kind of greeting that Blue had given him only a few minutes ago, laced with same sense of...attitude. He really couldn't decide whether to make a a break for it now before trouble started or stick around to see the fireworks.

"What are you getting yourself into Nettie, you aren't causing trouble like your bid sister are you. I would hate to have two people like her wandering around. Who was your accomplice, trouble is always caused by two people, and this reeks of trouble." He winked at Blue and removed Nettie from her leg before scanning the crowd for the person she had described. Maybe some good old fashioned trouble would do him some good anyways.

Blue stares her down. Nettie hesitates, looking between the two. "Nooobody," she says, her eyes flickering back towards the crowd. Contradicting her words, another girl comes out and starts whispering to her, in her startled state. Nettie's white blonde hair reflects the raven blackness of the other girl's, making them look connected in some twisted, troublesome way. "...lost him after..." Blue catches, and takes her sister's arm.

"What did you DO?" she demands. The girl looks around again, but her friend runs away.

"Ingrid wanted to show me something," she shrugs. Then she turns to him, "Xander, you know perfectly well Blue is what I call her." Blue almost laughs at the last bit. Even in the mix of trouble, Nettie knew what her sister needed and when. Like a little mind reading vagabond-in-training. A few seconds later a thin man slightly taller than Blueberry comes up behind Nettie.

It was fairly obvious to tell, even for me, that she was lying. She had contradicted her previous statement to try and save her hide, but it was to late for her now, she had already made the mistake. Now all I had to do was figure out what it was she had done and who had done it with her, and both of those questions would get answered soon enough. In a scenario like this it was very unlikely that the problem wouldn't come back like a boomerang and follow Nettie to this location. As if by some unearthly force the second perpetrator had heard my thougts they came walking out of the crowd towards Nettie and whispered something in her ear. I knew it was only a matter of time before Blue would want to know what was going on, a good sister would want to know that, and Blue was if anything, a good sister.

The explanation that Nettie gave obviously wasn't satisfying enough because she still had that look that said she was annoyed. Infact what I heard didn't satisfy me either, but like the trained sister of Blue she was able to change the subject quickly, and to something that annoyed Blue even more....me. I was about to protest her comment when I saw a figure shoving his way through the crowd, the look of anger and annoyance on his face was all it took for me to realize that he was the one that Nettie was running from. In all honesty I would have run also, his eyes were like hot coals nestled deep into his face, and his body language screamed run away. His hand shot out to take Nettie's shoulder and I stepped forward slapping his hand away from her. I could only hope that I still inspired some fear in people otherwise this could go horribly wrong.

"Don't you have someone your own size to pick on, and not a little girl. Or do you think that it would help your ego some to fight her. If not we could always step aside and we can "talk" about it." To emphasize my statement I put my hand on his shoulder and begin to lead him away from Nettie and Blue, pulling him to the front of the alleyway I put my arm around his shoulder and whisper to him."You see, they're friends of mine, and you know me Xander Thrash, I don't think you really want to mess around with them. Let's say you just forget about what happened and go about your business eh, and I'll be watching to make sure you don't come back."

I saw a look of brief recognition on the man's face when I said my name. That familiar look of fear and dread at the sight of me, it felt good to know that my name still held some weight around the district. I pushed him away from me and grinned devilishly nodding to signify he could walk away now. He didn't even turn away from me as he stepped backwards, not until he had reached the corner did he break my gaze and run away. Than for the first time since I had been together with Renn I felt that familiar surge of adrenaline at knowing someone feared me, and laughed like a madman. Sure, I probably looked like one at that point, but I never really cared what people thought of me anyways, just so long as they fear me. Trotting back over to Blue and Nettie I grinned at them foolishly, and playfully punched Blue in the shoulder.
