Julia begins to wake up, and removes her hand from under her shirt... she shifts herself up and stretches, yawning... then she sees Couric...
"Oh so you woke up after all... morning."
She smiled groggily.

"H-Hi...Julia..." Couric said slowly, glad he wasn't facing her at the moment considering how red his face currently was. His right eye still twitching, he drew a hand up and placed it over his face.
/I swear....the universe is just trying to make my mind collapse...That's got to be the answer.../

"How're you feeling?"
She asks, for numerous reasons... with a simple pleasantness in her voice.

"Fine...Just fine." He lied, once grateful for the fact that Julia was currently facing his back, otherwise she'd have been able to tell easily from the look on his face.
/It'll all be okay...It'll all be okay...I just need to stop thinking so much about it before my mind goes to hell.../

She could hear how awkward he was feeling clear in his voice... so she tilts her head, and says...
"You sure about that...?"
With a silly cheerfulness in her voice this time.

"I'm sure." Another lie. He didn't want to trouble her with the extraordinary loopy-de-loop that was occurring within his mind right now. Besides, he was sure that he'd eventually get over it...somehow.
"D-Do you remember anything at all that happened yesterday....?"

Julia nods her head, and answers happily...
"Yep... and... uhh... I have something I need to ask you..."
Poor Couric.

/Oh dear god...What have I gotten myself into by asking that stupid question!?/ He screamed mentally, forcing himself to remain somewhat calm sounding. Despite the fact that was hard as hell, all thing considered.
"Huh?"

"Well..."
This was feeling awkward, but she had to ask...
"Was that... uhm... you know... your first kiss...?"
She looks at the ground, running her hand along the grass to distract herself from the embarrassment of asking this.

/....Oh thank god....Simple question...Yes! SIMPLE QUESTION!/ His mind was practically celebrating the fact that it had been such an easy question to answer, the teen having thought he'd be greeted with some horrifically mind blowing question that would cause him to descend even further into mental hysteria.
"Yeah...I guess.."

Julia sits there in silence, and blinks a few times... before finally saying...
"Wow... really...?"
This is so awkward. How's it supposed to go from here?

/Is she in the same state as I am....?/ He asked himself, expecting no answer since he was technically talking to himself.
"Yeah. Really." He said as simply as he could since it was the truth after all. And there was really no point to lying about such a thing.

After a few more moments, during which Julia looked up at Couric for a second, and then back at the ground, she stood up, and said...
"Okay, well... we need to go train or somethin' for that Cajabastard, right?"
"I need to get out of here. This is too awkward."

Post by unholylssj on Jun 18, 2009 13:16:46 GMT -5
"Right...To beat Cajabastard." He chuckled, going along with Julia's nickname for the elite. He got to his feet and looked up towards the sky, not yet knowing that beating Cajabe would be infinitely harder than it had ever been before with the changes Cajabe has made.
"...Hey Julia?" He decided to ask a fairly simple yet complex question.

Julia's thoughts on how to get out of this situation were interrupted by Couric's question...
"Hm?"

Post by unholylssj on Jun 18, 2009 13:20:40 GMT -5
"Umm....That kiss...." He began, trying to find the right words to say, not an easy feat for a teen whose knowledge of anything romance is as basic as one can get. But he'd eventually manage it and say something.
"D-Did you...enjoy it...?"

Julia's eyes widen, she stops breathing for a moment...
"Oh God. How am I supposed to answer that?!"
"Uhh... yeah... I liked it..."
Her face immediately having gone bright red.

And, of course, Couric had no idea how exactly he should react to that. Despite the fact he himself had asked the question. But he seemed a bit less unnerved now...like a weight had been lifted off his shoulder or something.
"Me too..." He finally said, now wishing that he himself could get out of there before the big awkward moment continued on.

"C-cool..."
She nods her head, trying to push off the nerves...
"Now I need to leave... but I don't wanna just -go- like that..."
This was... awkward...

"...Right...So...Let's...work hard to beat Cajabastard!" He exclaimed, pumping a fist into the air to try and show that he wasn't bothered at all..despite the sheer awkwardness of the situation. Besides, it'd probably be better if they didn't think about the event for the moment. After all, they were going to need all the training they could get.

"Yep..."
She punches the air, too, ignoring how lame she looks...
"So... I'll... see you later... right, Couric...?"

"Er...Right..." He replied, arm drooping a bit since he didn't exactly want to get away from Julia, but felt it woul probably be better for the both of them if they did. But...he decided to ask anyways...
"If you want...we could train together....and work on a team technique that could beat Cajabe..." He suggested.

Julia blinks, looks down... looks to her left... then looks down again... avoiding looking at Couric...
"Uhhh... that would be a cool idea, actually..."
"Darn it! Oh whatever, this might help iron out the awkwardness between us..."
She scratches the back of her head.

"Yeah...Especially if we fight him together..." Couric added, feeling a bit more awkward at the moment. He really could barely remember what techniques he had seen Julia actually use when he fought her those two times.
"So....um...yeah..."

Julia thinks on things for a while, and then asks Couric...
"Well... what techniques do you have that you might be able to use...?"
She folds her arms, and hopes that talking about this stuff'll make things less awkward.

"Well...I have a few that could probably be used...in a combo strike. Like these." He said as a blade of green energy formed on each of his hands, giving off the lightsaber sound. Couric slashed upwards, having turned around to face Julia earlier though not explicitly stated.
"As well as..." He began to concentrate, his right eye and even his destroyed left beginning to glow a bit as energy gathered into them. He shot off two lasers towards the ground.
"And some other stuff..."

"Hmm... well... I've got this new technique I can use..."
She gathers energy in her hand; invisible energy, and throws it down at the ground... suddenly the ground is torn apart as if it were hit by a shotgun blast, but worse.
"I'd love to hit him a few times with that... heh... oh and speaking of blade attacks..."
She forms a blade of ki on one hand, and focuses on it so that it extends forming some kind of yellow light saber thingy.
"I can make energy blades, too."

"Eh...?! Was that..a...shockwave!?" Couric exclaimed, having leapt back an inch or two to avoid possibly being struck by the technique, not that there was a chance of that. He hadn't seen anyone use the technique like that before...And then he noticed Julia's fingers glow.
"Neat...I just learned how to do my energy blades recently!" The awkwardness was slowly dying.

Post by Katatonia on Jun 18, 2009 14:03:35 GMT -5
Answering the question about her shockwave-like attack, Julia says...
"Oh... yeah it's sort of a Shockwave, but I developed it to be much deadlier... you don't wanna get hit by one of those... it'll rip you right up... I think it's called Shock Blitz, but I don't know why it has a name or why I even know the name... probably something the scientist put in my head..."
She shrugs.
Then Couric mentions his energy blades being a recent addition, and she says...
"Cool... so what else do we have?"
She asks expecting Couric to show off some more attacks.

"Well...There are two other things...I just need to gather up a bit of energy before I can showcase them." He chuckled, beginning to gather ki into pointer and middle fingers, glancing at the ground in front of him.
"You might wanna step away." He said, motioning with left for Julia to move out of the way.
