As he called out that he was getting good at it, Amelie laughed. "Sure, but you still haven't passed me!" she called back, keeping her eyes forward. Then it happened. She saw him out of the corner of her eye. He was gaining on her. Amelie Chairmont had never, ever been beat before in tree hopping! It was her specialty. She pushed harder- and that was her mistake. She swung forward and reached for a branch, but her hand slipped right off it. She yelped as she smacked into a few branches on the way down. She slammed to the ground on her back and groaned, rolling to her side to try and catch some air. Jacob Kennington(well then he can stop and she'll tell him he's stupid and do go ahead XD)

He took her remark as a challenge. "Maybe not, but we've got plenty of room for me to catch up! You'd better prepare to lose," he teased, somehow sensing that she probably wasn't going to like that. But it didn't matter to him if she liked it or not, because he was determined to win! He wanted to learn her name and he wanted to prove that he was worth her time, though he wasn't sure exactly why that was. She was almost in his reach! He could feel the excitement and adrenaline pumping through him. He could do this! Ha! Then, right as he passed her, he heard her squeal a little. That was weird. At first he assumed it was because she didn't want him to win, but then she was silent and he knew something was wrong. He turned around, but she was nowhere to be seen. Looking down, he saw her on the ground. Without a second thought, he swung through the branches until he landed nimbly by her side. "Are you alright?" he asked in concern. "Is anything broken?" he reached forward tentatively, but he wasn't sure what to do. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT (haha so excited for this!)

She heard his voice asking if she was all right, if anything was broken. She didn't open her eyes though, not yet. She was still trying to get her wits about her. She hadn't taken a fall like that since she was a kid first learning how to do the tree hopping.... what was wrong with her? She slowly blinked her eyes open, turning to look at him with a soft gaze before suddenly reaching up and smacking him on the arm. "You idiot! You're going to win! Get back up there!" she said, shoving him slightly as she started to roll over onto her hands and knees, preparing to climb back up the trees herself. She knew she would lose if he listened to her and went ahead. But.... a part of her wanted him to win anyway. Jacob Kennington

Jake couldn't put into words the relief he felt when she started talking, acting as though nothing was wrong. He didn't care that she was annoyed at him, he wouldn't have acted any other way if he had the chance to do it over again. He laughed and turned back to the tree, shimmying up it quickly. "And here I was thinking that chivalry was something girls liked," he quipped loudly enough that he was sure she could hear. "I couldn't just finish the race without knowing if you were alive or not. But don't worry, my winning our little race was never in doubt. And it still isn't. I'm just that good," he bragged as he started tree hopping once more. He could see the end of the race only a short distance away and he was ready to get there as quickly as possible. Sure, he was enjoying his new hobby of tree hopping, but he'd rather be talking to the pretty girl than beating her in a race. Any day. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

Now he was talking about what girls liked, chivalry and being just that good? She found herself rolling her eyes at first and then chuckling as he moved up the tree and continued onward. She lay there for a couple more seconds, catching her breath and trying to shake off the pain before pushing herself up with a loud grunt and climbing the nearest tree again. She went on, though she knew there was no way she could catch up to him now, especially with the pain she was in and how far ahead he had gotten. Finally he reached the lake and she swung down a few minutes after him, landing with her knees bent and her hands grazing the ground. Then she stood, brushing off her clothing, "well, congrats. I guess you've earned my name," she said. She took a step forward and opened her mouth to speak it, but at the last second her face turned into a mischievous grin and she ran past him, jumping into the water. Jacob Kennington

Jake finished the race and quietly turned around, looking to see where the young woman was. At first he couldn't see her and had a momentary flash of regret for leaving her lying on the ground, but then he saw her and smiled in relief. By the time she landed next to him, he was grinning. She didn't look like she was hurt too badly. When she told him that he earned her name, he nodded and watched her expectantly. She took a step toward him and then dashed into the water behind him. Jake turned, stunned at what had just happened. He stared at her in the water for a few moments before impulse took over. With a laugh, he took off after her and jumped into the water. He wasn't sure exactly what he was trying to do, other than the fact that he did not want her to get away. At least not without learning her name first. "Get back here, you! You can't just disappear, I won fair and square," he laughed as he called that out to her, splashing water in her general direction. This was the most fun he'd had in ages. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

She was expecting him to jump in the water. She laughed as he called her out, splashing water in her general direction. She raised her eyebrows rapidly for a moment before sinking under the water and attempting to sneak toward him. She reached out to grab his leg as if to pull him under the water further. Whether it worked or not she would soon resurface, laughing loudly and brushing the hair out of her face. "Fine, I'll give you the name," she said when she eventually made eye contact with him again. "It's Amelie. Amelie Rose Chairmont, at your service," she did a flourish with her hand in the air and attempting to give a bow before her foot slipped in the mud beneath her and she fell back into the water again.

Jake stared around, searching for her. He'd splashed at her and then she disappeared. Crap, he though, completely annoyed. He'd lost her! Then he felt something pull on his leg and he gasped as he got pulled under the water, breathing it in at the same time. He came up choking. He tried to cough quietly, but he was sure she'd be able to hear him all the same. How lame. He heard her laugh from somewhere behind him and spun around, reaching forward and trying to catch her wrist so she couldn't escape from him again. It might be fun to pull her back into the deeper water, he thought mischievously. Then she told him her name. "Amelie. Well that's pretty." he thought ... only he didn't think it. It took him less than a moment to realize he'd said it out loud. Then she was falling into the water and he jumped to get out of her way, diving in and swimming a little ways away, hoping the commotion would make her forget what he'd said. He'd made a rookie mistake. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

She had succeeded in pulling him under! Yes! Not that she had doubted herself, but she was still glad it worked. As he came up coughing she tilted her head to the side with a bit of worry, but didn’t comment on it. She knew he would swallow a little water at least, I mean it was obvious that would happen. He seemed all right, though, as he spun around to catch her wrist. Her eyes widened as he clasped there but the look of shock quickly made way for her usual smirk. She shrugged as he complimented her name, but that was right before she slipped. Instead of catching her, however, he moved out of her way and swam away from her. She burst out of the water, coughing slightly but laughing of course. She didn’t swim after him this time but stood with her hands on her hips under the water, ”coward!” she called, a laugh laced through the word. Jacob Kennington

Jake laughed as he watched her stand up and seemed to glare a little at him, though he could hear her laugh as well, so she obviously wasn't upset at him. Naturally, she wanted to tease him. Of course. "Defending oneself is not cowardice," he began as he started moving closer to her. "And I am quickly learning that one of the only ways to defend myself from your charm is distance," he teased, studying her face intently. He knew he probably shouldn't flirt so outrageously with her. After all, they'd only met earlier this same day. He didn't know her at all! Then again, that was part of the fun ...

”Distance?” she mused, tilting her head to the side at his words. ”That’s a good point, actually,” she wading the water, moving closer to him as he moved toward her. ”My charms, as you say, can be rather dangerous. Especially when you aren't prepared for them,” she smirked, squinting her nose a little, causing it to wrinkle. ”So, now you know my name and I know yours. What’s next, Jacob?” she really should be getting back… and he probably had somewhere to be too… she found herself hoping they’d meet again, though. She didn’t want the afternoon to end just yet.

Jake smirked, loving the way she was teasing him. "Well then I guess I'll just have to keep my distance until I figure out how to be prepared for your charms," he said, even as he moved closer still to her. In all reality what he wanted to do now was reach forward, pull her to him and kiss her, but he wouldn't. If he did, there was no telling how she would react, or if she would ever talk to him again and he wanted her to. He felt a strong attraction to her and didn't want to lose the chance to get to know her more because he moved too quickly. He wouldn't do it. "What do yo think? This far enough?" he asked when he finally stopped moving towards her, close enough to touch her if he reached out. At her next question he pretended to really think. "Well it depends. If I want to know more about you, am I going to need to beat you in a swimming race first? Or did our tree-jumping-escapade count for all the questions I want to ask you today?" he smiled charmingly, hoping she would just let him ask questions. He wasn't ready to let her go just yet. Not without knowing more about her. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

She nodded as he decided to keep his distance until he was more prepared, even though he was moving closer. They had just met and yet... she was feeling some strange feelings that started in her stomach and warmed the rest of her body. She was about to leap toward him, though she knew the water would hold her back. Plus, who kissed when they first met? Wasn't that weird? Was she going to do it anyway? She held her ground then he asked if he was far enough, even though she could touch him if she wanted to. She shook her head, "Jacob," her voice was soft and her head tilted to the side in a flirting gesture. "I didn't tell you the big secret," she took another move closer to him, so now there was only about ten inches between them, "there is no preparing for my charms."As he answered her question, saying that he wanted to know more about her and asking if he had to do another race. She contemplated, lifting a hand to wring out her wet hair over her left shoulder. "You've earned the right to ask questions, but I reserve the right not to answer if I so choose," she answered.

Oh, she was asking for it. Or maybe she wasn't, but to him it sure seemed like she wanted something to happen between them almost as much as he did. Her flirtatious gestures and words were almost more than he could take! She moved even closer to him as she revealed her secret. Jake's face slowly formed a mischievous smile. "Well if there's no way to prepare for it," he started as he took a small step forward, covering the space between them and simultaneously reaching one arm forward to wrap around her waist in an effort to pull her even closer to him. "Then maybe I should just give into them," he muttered lowly as his eyes searched hers. "don't you think?" he asked, his lips mere centimeters away from hers. He wanted to kiss her and it seemed like she wanted it too, but he'd give her a chance. A small chance to pull away if he'd read her wrong. But if not, he was going to kiss her and nothing would stop him from that. He watched her wring out her hair and smiled once more. It seemed like he was constantly smiling around her. "Well I suppose my first question would have to be this: am I ever going to see you again or are you going to disappear after today?" he knew it was cheesy and probably lame, but he couldn't help but ask. He needed to know if she was going to run away from him now. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT (OOC: I just love these two!!)

At his words about not being able to prepare and maybe just giving in, Amelie allowed him to wrap an around around her waist and pull her toward him. So what if they kissed? She'd probably never see the guy again anyway and if they did then, well, she could just kiss him again, right? Amelie had the philosophy that you had to live every day like it was your last and that meant you didn't have time to lolligag and dillydag and not go for what you wanted. Still, she was surprised at the strange fluttering in her heart and stomach as he pulled her toward him, asking what she thought. She could feel his breath on her lips and her eyes flickered toward his for a moment before she looked up up into his eyes. "I think we could die tomorrow, easily, so why don't you kiss me?" She raised her eyebrows at him as she offered the challenge, leaning in slightly closer to see what he would do. As he asked his question, she raised an eyebrow. Of course he would ask that first. She shrugged, her arms still wrapped around his neck now, "I can't tell you either way, because I don't know. Can you handle that?" she smirked. Jacob Kennington (weeeeee haha)
