It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor - but since there were none about, might as well get on with the post.
There was a sweet breeze coming on off the lake, the flowers and grass were doin' their thing, being all flowery and grass-like, just chillin.
But he couldn't really see the ground bound plant-life. He was flying far above it, practicing some loop-de-loops and spins and stuff with his new broom. It wasn't that new, actually, but it was new to him and since he owned the thing that's all that mattered.
Finally he was nearing the Firefox place his mother had told him about -for four weeks solid. Seeing some people milling about he decided to impress everyone but doing some 'broom-boarding' something he'd heard about from some of the older dudes in his town.
Well more like he'd been eavesdropping on them and they'd suddenly become really quiet then began talking about it and how great it was, and how anyone with half a brain could do it.
He knew for sure he had a whole brain, so he'd be better at it than everyone else. He stood up on the handle of the broom carefully balancing himself before letting go of the handle - which promptly too a nose dive for the ground below.
Ti'tsorg T'fo the Quarter Fae First Year was falling into the court yard of his new school.

There was a neighbor about, actually. Salamander Smith was minding his own twelve-year-old business, hanging out with his pet phoenix chicken, when he saw some guy swooping about in the sky on a broom. For a split second Sal was torn between jealousy and grudging admiration. Then the idiot went and tried to stand on his broom without holding on.
Moron.
Then the guy was falling, heading for a serious faceplant on the weed-dotted cobblestones. "Arresto Momentum" said Salamander, his wand out. His grandpa had taught him that one, since Sal himself seemed to take a lot of falls. Then, he cast a cushioning charm on the ground, so that the landing would be a bit softer.
"Lucky for you I'm here, kid." Seriously, this could have been really messy otherwise. "Can you believe this guy, Heph?" Sal asked Hephaestus, his trusty animal companion, who was currently perched on his shoulder. "Everyone knows only the pros are good enough to take their hands off their brooms." Concluding his remarks to Heph, Sal turned back to the other boy.
"You get ten out of ten for style, but minus a couple thousand for good thinking." Sal smiled at the kid. "I'm Sal. Who're you?"

"AHHHHH," he yelled, as his fall slowed. "WAAAAAAH," he added as he bounced off the Cushioning Charm and back onto solid ground, feet first. He dusted himself off and looked at Sal grinning. "Freakin' Fat Fairies, that was AWESOME!" He exclaimed, and ran to Sal his arms wide, as if to hug him, only stopping at the last moment arms still wide beside him. "Name's Ti," he said, then he gave a sloppy court bow. "Sal you ROCK, we so have to do that again!"

Heph got spooked a little by this Ti guy, and let out an alarmed squawk, totally unbefitting of the appearance Sal had created for him magically. Phoenixes did not squawk, especially not in alarm. "Be cool, Heph." Salamander soothed his dear friend and gave him a bit of a cracker he'd been keeping in his pocket.
"Hephaestus isn't a fan of sudden movements from strangers. And, yeah, I guess that did turn out pretty awesome." Ti had good instincts for fun it seemed. "Put your arms down, though, or someone'll think you're weird." Sal looked around a bit, trying to see where the kid's broom had gotten off to.
"Next time, hang from your broom like a sloth then let go hands first. When you feel yourself start to lose altitude, that's when you straighten your legs." Sal had done this before. He and his cousins played games like this all the time. Well, one set of cousins anyway. The other side of the family all insisted on boring activities like playing board games and doing puzzles. That was so not Sal's scene.
"Go get your broom, dude. I'll mark out a target on the ground."

"Oh, dear. That doesn't look very safe," Mayu, had been wandering by, and noticed the rather unusual antics of Ti. It certainly was a good thing that 'Sal' was there, or Ti would have needed Mayu's help. She used the walking stick she was carrying for some reason or other as a, well, walking stick to move over to the boys.
They both looked younger than her and could probably use her guidance.
"You're Right. They probably could use your help," Yuma chimed in.
Now that was downright odd, because Mayu could swear she hadn't voiced that opinion. She stopped for a moment to ponder the situation, and then decided that it wasn't worth the mental effort. Either way, she had better introduce herself to these boys, unless they were such amazing masters of legilimancy as Yuma.
"You boys probably shouldn't be doing something that dangerous," Mayu chided, before adding, "But, since you're going to, do you mind if I stay and make sure neither of you get hurt? I'm trying to become a nurse, and the practice sure wouldn't hurt."
Mayu rested herself next to the two boys, and set her walking stick down. Wait, why was she setting her wand down again? If she was going to help them, she had better keep it handy. After almost setting it down, she laid it across her lap and interlaced her fingers together over it, smiling at the two younger boys.

"Right! Broom, Oh Broom! Where for art thou, yah dirty rat!" Ti looked around for the broom only to see it had crashed into the top of a rather tall evergreen down by the lake.
"Oh squash! I'll have to go climb up and get it. He turned and ran a few steps toward it, but then stopped.
"You guys wanna come with?" he asked, "Climbing that bugger might be as fun a Broom-boarding. Looks like one jumped up tree. It might try and give us attitude." Ti laughed, unaware that most people -even magical folk- didn't observe attitudes in trees, they way he and his mom's family did.

Sal was halted in his search through his pockets and school bag for a piece of chalk he was sure he had. Oh man, who invited the Fun Police? "Cut the gas, dollface, we got this. No need to worry your pretty little head," Sal said, trying to sound like one of those private investigators in those movies his uncle liked so much. Those guys were so cool. And they always got the dames. Man, those guys were practically swimming in dames.
Sal winked and smiled at Mayu, just like those movie guys. "Why don't you run along then, kitten?" The last thing Sal needed was some girl tagging along commenting on how dangerous everything was. If he'd wanted to hear that, he'd have stayed home with his mommy.
Feeling that he'd dealt with the girl pretty well, Sal's next move was to retrieve Heph, who'd flown from his perch on Sal's shoulder when Mayu had spoken. Man, that girl was giving Heph the creeps, but then again, he was kind of a chicken. Get it? Chicken puns? Anyone? Anyone? No? Okay then, moving on.
"Dude, Heph, you gotta be cool, man. How do you expect me to look smooth when you're always blowing your top?" That bird. Sal picked up Heph and helped him settle back on his shoulder. Another cracker disappeared into the enchanted chicken's beak to help him settle down. Now, he was finally ready to get back to his extremely manly business.
"Climbing trees; I dig it. Let's get on it." Ti was an okay guy. A little bit of a spaz, but alright nonetheless. He kind of just ignored the comments about the attitude of the trees, marking it up to Ti's space cadet personality. Hopefully, the dame would get the hint and wouldn't bother them anymore.

"Awww..." How cute. He was playing the tough guy. And how old was the slang he was using? She was pretty sure only Japanese people called someone kitten anymore. He must have been imitating an old TV show or something...
She stood up, walked over and patted Sal on the head.
"There's no need to worry about any attitude. I know how to deal with attitude!" Mayu cheerfully announced.
Of course, she was up for a little tree-climbing, herself. She hadn't done that in a while. In fact, the last time she did, she got stuck up the tree, and Yuma had to help her down. For that matter, where was Yuma? She could have sworn she was right here. Oh, well, no sense in mulling it over. She probably got hungry and left. She'd just have to ask Mr. Dolphin to help her down if she got stuck.
She took off after Ti at a slightly calmer pace, after grabbing her staff, and stood beside him, waiting to continue until both boys had decided it was time to go...

"Yeah! Ok guys follow meeeeeeeeeee," Ti kicked up his heels and ran down the hill towards the tree.
On his feet he wore the best shoes in the world, a pair of DC Rebound Hi Skate Shoes! Each section of the shoe was colored differently, even the laces where multi-hued. His shirt was pretty plain except it was a puffy shirt like rouge privateers wore, because Captain Jack Sparrow was awesome. For pants his mother had insisted he wear the uniform required ones - but he'd just rolled them up to his knees before he'd left and put spell-o-tape on the inside of the cuff to be sure they wouldn't fall down.
Now that you know what his clothes are doing we can get onto what he is doing, yayee! At last he reached the tree and stood looking up at the branches - which were about ten feet out of reach.
"Well that blows troll chucks. Now what can we do?" He thought hard, putting his hand to his head and supporting his elbow with his other hand like he was some sort of famous statue or something.
"I could get my Broom and fly up! ...to get my broom, awe butterscotch! I hate sticky situations!"

"Oooh. I think I have an idea."
Ideas were Mayu's specialty, after all. Mr. Doctor said so! She just needed to call in a few of Mr. Dolphin's friends, and they'd help her up.
Sure enough, a pair of inferi made their way over to Mayu, who had begun waiving wildly at the sight of them.
"Over heeeeere!"
When the pair got to the tree, they stopped, just kind standing there stupidly. Oh, dear. Mr. Dolphin's friends weren't the smartest, were they?
"Okay, you bend over, here. And you climb on top, and then I'll get on top of you!"
Of course, Mr. Dolphin's friends were willing to oblige Mayu. They were all friends after the timeout she gave them. I mean, destroying a city is doing a bad thing, right?
Didn't matter, she was on top of a tower of wobbling zombies, trying to get a broom out of a tree. It was like trying to play a motion control video game.
"Oh, you! Try to keep straight long enough to help me get this broom, would you?"
She managed to get a hold of it, and yanked it right out of the branch, causing her zombie-jenga to collapse...

Oh man, this dame was totally cramping his style. Salamander Smith didn't mess around with dames. Dames were messy. That's what his uncle always told him. So, he was left just standing there, trying to figure out if there was anything he could do to get dollface to leave things to the men, and trying for the life of him to remember more of the slang those private eye guys were always using, when the dame cut in again.
With zombies.
And then she started to fall, so quick as a whip he saved her the same way he'd rescued Ti before. But not before he got a good look at those gams of hers. "Hot dawg! Well, aren't you a choice piece of calico. That's a real darb trick there, sister. I don't usually like skirts, but you're okay." Were those like real zombies? "Those fellas do everything you tell 'em?" Maybe hanging out with a girl could be alright.

Ti was the happiest kid in the world when Mayu said she could get his new-ish broom back. That is until he saw her call up Inferi. A Kid -like him- calling dead bodies to do her bidding?! That was NOT FAIR! Those people deserved to rest in peace! Who did she think she was!
She'd climbed on top of the two Inferi and managed to get his broom out of the tree, but that caused her Inferi to fall out from under her. How could she abuse the dead like that! She was the most evil, vile - Sal saved her in much the same way he'd saved Ti.
Ti was unsure what in Titania's name he should do. As much as he wanted to go off on the both of them -Mayu for calling the poor bodies and Sal for not seeming to mind- he really couldn't, they had gotten his broom back, so it really wouldn't be fair of him to not at least try to be grateful.
He got a hold of himself and waited for Mayu or Sal to offer him his broom back. He'd have to do his best to just thank them and leave. He didn't wanna risk looseing his temper, Mayu might order the Infuri to destroy his broom. That would be really unfair!
