Tobias's Perch

[Midnight_Huntress]

Raksha followed Shawn towards the door when Jake's family and guest came in the door. She could sense the other's tension in the air as Tobias was named, and she looked at him confused and surprised. "I thought they said he was stuck...He looks okay to me."she said in awe. She felt Shawn's grip tighten and she put her other hand to his shoulder. "What is it, Shawn?" she asked him quietly where only he would here. "I thought you guys said Tobias couldn't change back."

[Blaise Zebrataur]

Tobias smiles and nods.*Thank you.*he nods to Walter and then looks to Zander and nods.*And I am glad to meet Shawn's father.*he says with a smile beore gasping as he was huged with Rachel,his arms wrapping his arms around her,enjoying the moment he had.*Its really me Rachel.*he says in a whispter as his eyes dart to the clock,he had been in morph for an hour and 15 minutes now.

Jean frowned as she watched the two embrace. "What's going on here?" she asked her son, glancing between him and Cassie. Between Rachel fainting and this strange boy she had never seen yet claimed to be Jake's friend, she felt like something was amiss.

[Darth Revan]

((Sorry I've been gone. I was out of town over the weekend.))

Jake noticed Tobias glancing at the clock and figured he was getting close to his limit. When his mother asked her question, Jake answered hurriedly, "Mom, this is Tobias, you remember, head in the toilet, bullies beating him up, I set 'em straight. Anyway, he's been telling me on the ride here that he's really had to use the restroom, since this is the first time he's ever been here, I'll show him." Even though speaking a mile a minute was uncharacteristic of him, Jake didn't want to be the reason Tobias was trapped again in morph. He approached Rachel and Tobias and began prying her off. Meanwhile motioning to Tobias to use the bathroom to refresh his morph clock.

Rachel fought Jake's grip, softly moaning her objections, but eventually she let go.


Shawn whispered to Raksha while still staring at the wierd scene unfolding before him, "That's what I thought too. Something must've happened. I, I don't know."

Steve walked in beside his wife and as his son was prying his niece off of the boy, he could do nothing but stare. This was so unlike his son; but Jake had been progressively acting strangely lately. He decided to just place his arm around his wife and give her a reassuring hug.

Zander, along with Cassie’s parents, looked oddly at Jake and Rachel’s odd reactions. The spectacle before them was so strange, they barely noticed that they were going to be late for their reservation.

~~Glad yo see you're back. And it's okay,~~
---------------------------------

Raksha looked back to Tobias with a shocked look. She was snapped out of it when the clock began to chime the hour. "Well, Is this everyone?" she asked making sure no one would be left behind.

[Blaise Zebrataur]

(Welcome back Parker,we missed you here.)

Tobias smiled softly as he was pulled by Jake,which was abit hard since Rachel had a deathlike grip on him*I'll be back Rachel.*he said with a smile before walking with Jake to the restroom.*Thanks man.*he says to Jake.

[Darth Revan]

Jake nodded and said, "Yeah, I may be checked into a loony bin, but you need a fresh timer count. Now's good too, 'cause it's exactly 7."

When Raksha mentioned if we were all here, Shawn clapped his hands to hopefully command everyone's attention, "Well, since it's 7, shall we be going?"

Walter looked at the clock on the wall, and the reservations snapped back to his mind, "Yeah, we should go. We don't want to be late. Um, should we all just take our prospective cars, or does anyone have a car that can fit more than their family?"

Steve mentioned that his car was already full. Zander said he only had room for one. So Walter nodded his head and said, "Okay, I guess we go in the cars we showed up in. Let's go then." He clapped his hands about his body checking for keys and strolled out of the front door.

Zander walked out behind Walter and Michelle withdrawing his car keys, and unlocked the car with his remote.

Steve patted Jean on her shoulders and said, "Come on dear, Jake and his friend will be along shortly."

Rachel stood motionless staring in the direction Tobias had disappeared. Her dazed state began to go away as she realized what she had just done. She looked around the room self-conscious once more as her "self" returned to her. She cleared her throat and said in her best "I don't care" tone, "Jake, you better hurry up, we're going."

[Midnight_Huntress]

Raksha walked with Shawn back out to the car. As she passed Rachel, she put a hand to her shoulder and smiled trying to make her feel better before walking outside. "Well this night should be interesting." she told Shawn.

[Darth Revan]

Shawn rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah, no kidding." They made their way to the car. With it unlocked, he opened the door and got in the back seat again.

[Midnight_Huntress]

Instead of sitting up front, she crawled into the backseat with Shawn. She smiled and shrugged. "I'm your date, not your dad's" she teased him.

[Blaise Zebrataur]

Tobias nods softly.*Yeah,your right.*he quickly walked to the restroom.

[Darth Revan]

Jake closed the door and yelled back at Rachel, "Thanks Rach, go away now. Nice to have you back by the way."

Rachel flipped her hair and and walked out of the door saying, "Whatever" to herself.

Shawn was surprised when Raksha crawled over him and sat beside him. When she gave her reason, he looked around embarrassed. He explained, "Sorry, it's just that guests always get the front seat. If this were our old car, my dad would've probably sat back here. Unfortunately he's not too keen on me driving his Beamer." He leaned forward and closed the door before speaking again, "Thanks though." He smiled as he blushed.

[Midnight_Huntress]

She smiled and took his hand in hers again. "Anytime." she said softly.

[Blaise Zebrataur]

Tobias slowly demorphed back to his red-tailed hawk form,looking over himself as he sighed<Home Sweet Home.>he says as he was in his real body,before slowly morphing into his human morph.

[Darth Revan]

Jake knocked on the door as he heard the faint sounds of bones grinding, "Hey bud, you almost done in there? The folks are flocking."

((Odd saying, wouldn't you agree? ))

Rachel sat in the backseat of the car, continuing to keep her face as stoic as she could. Every once in a while, she'd look at the front door and check whether or not Tobias was going to show up again.


Shawn smiled widely and gripped her hand and bounced it on the small rest between them. As Zander got in the car, he glanced back at two with a grin and wordlessly started the car.
