Hope. Something he doesn't believe in.

"Sir?" He looked at her strangely. "I'm only 15, no need to say sir." He chuckled. "I'm Casper, what's your name?"

Alex was still playing with all of the kids, then they massed in numbers and tackled Alex to the ground. He was covered by kids, hugging him and laughing.

Casper smiled at the sight of all the kids having fun.

"I am Beth! She said with a wide smile. Its sort of a habit, since my father forced me to call him sir all the time." She was surprised to know that he was only 15.

Alex looked over to Beth and Casper, wondering what they were talking about. Maybe they were introducing each other. But the kids seemed to have drawn Alex's attention away by dragging him to the sandbox. Looks like they wanted to make a castle on top of him.

Beth took a quick glance over at Alex, that seemed to be covered in sand from head to toe. She couldn't help but giggle at the silly pickle that he was in. "Look's like you are finally the ruler of one castle!" She said jokingly, clapping her hands.

Casper smiled at the army of children. "Where did they all come from?" He asked jokingly.

Alex was getting overwhelmed by too many children. The question was actually in mind, where did all the children come from? He realized that they all had just got out of school and they were the children that always came to this playground to play in.

"Hey, you can still breath right?" He asked the poor victim of the child pile.

Beth jumped in front of the pile that was all over Alex. "You know you can stay here and let the children have their way with you or you can grow some anger to make them get off of you." She whispered with a splendid smile.

Joey was walking around looking for beth

Alex chuckled, "Hehe, I'm fine." He smiled up at Beth. It looked as if this happened to him normally which was strange. Alex was always good with kids yet could never really take care of any.

Beth noticed that was the first smile she saw from him. It even made her smiled back. "Have fun Alex."

"Beth!" He said

Alex was playing with the kids, helping them build another sand castle since the one they built on him was crumbled apart, due to him wanting back up. Looking over, Beth seemed to be getting along with another stranger that Alex had not met before. Regardless, it seemed like someone Beth knew.

"Joey..." Her eyes grew slightly bigger. "Oh my gosh Joey it's you!"She jumped up and gave him a long gentle hug. "How long has it been?"

"It been a while my sister, how are you, we miss you" he said

After the new castle was finished, Alex rose up and checked his watch. Approximately 1 month and 3 days remained. He had some time to himself finally and was able to relax for a bit. Destiny was messing around with her soul, seeing what new tricks she can learn. Ivory was still dead asleep, as always. Looking over to the brother and sister, he left a smile. Alex then took off back to his place without a word.

Beth watched as Alex tried to sneek away. "Wait don't go..." She said as she felk to the floor and wrapped her arms around his leg. "You can't just leave! Especially without saying goodbye!"

"No, it's fine, Beth. You and your brother need to catch up." Alex said, being supportive of the poor girl. "Besides, I need a nap, I'm kinda tired." The meister was wabaling a little, he did need some rest after being tackled to the ground by toddlers and eating a lot of pizza.

"But I thought we were on a date...." Beth got up from the floor and pretended ro cough. She gave the signal to Joey. Everytime she gave the signal it meant he was suppose to catch up later. "You need a nurse? Dont you?" She asked, bashing her eyelashes.

"What do I need a nurse for, Beth?" Alex chuckled to himself. He has no idea what Beth was trying to pull off but it became more clear and was obvious that she wanted to spend more time with him. The nurse concept was probably just to go to his apartment.

"You didn't know? I got an A with the medical association warehouse for a reason!" She said, giving him a smile and the thumbs up. "Besides you ate a lot of pizza, just wanna make sure everything is ok when we get home. "

Alex chuckled a bit harder, "You talk as if we live together." But there was no denying it, she wanted to spend more time with him. Alex then decided to head on home, "Come on, Beth."

"Yay! See ya later Joey!" She said as she grabbed Alex's arm and walked beside him to his home.
