Allison grabbed both bottles and looked at them with a bemused smirk. Why SHOULDN'T she take both? Either one might quench her thirst, of course, but maybe having a choice instead of having to resort to just whichever she chose now might prove to be in her best interest...her picky sweet tooth would certainly thank her for providing variety on her hearty jog. So, quickly sprinting back to her room, she snatched her "small" to her sports backpack, which slinged over her arms as soon as she tucked both bottles into the bag, alongside an icepack to keep them nice and chilled...even though they seemed to do so without any needed "addition". But soon enough, door shut and locked behind her, her large sneakered feet thumping a hasty beat from her home...and towards the university park a few blocks away...
The university park was spacious and rich with greenery, many paths leading through the forests edged from the city and civilized societies, stretching for several miles, providing many scenic routes for those in need of clear their minds, or in need for a good hard jogging work out...and Allison had every path etched into her mind. If she were blindfolded, she had gone down that path enough to know how many steps it takes her to reach their ends...and back again. And though she wouldn't like to admit, sometimes, she enjoyed to do a bit of people watching. For someone whose as far a social butterfly as the amazonian rexgal could be, she did enjoy sometimes seeing into the brief glimpses into the lives of those around her. It was nice to look around, and never know what she'd find next....
Which would explained why her gaze would fall on Tyler Matthews. The smaller, younger purple scaled brother to the bruiser of a blue dragon, David Matthews. Normally left deep in the looming shadow of his super-sized sibling, Tyler was known for his semi-successful gaming shop in town, but otherwise, little was known about him by the general public...and Allison only knew him from brief, little encounters, but from those few times, she knew a kindred spirt when she saw one, and Tyler was made from a smaller but very similiar mold she was. The little dragon in question was currently resting beneath a large tree, the sun blocked while he rested comfortably, dressed in a pair of old black sneakers, baggy jeans, and a red t-shirt with blue sleeves and shoulders, a familiar Spider emblem on the chest. Quiet and a bit more cerebral then his brother, Tyler found more pleasure in fantasy and science fiction, and Allison smiled as she recognized the novel in the purple drake's hands
"Soon I Will Be Invincible..." she said aloud, loud enough for the purple drake to look up...and up as Allison stepped over, her cheeks coloring as she chuckled nervously "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your reading, but, I couldn't help but notice what you're reading...I certainly enjoyed the unique structure of chronology of that story, though I found myself looking more forward to Fatale's perspective then..."
"...Doctor Impossible's...?" Tyler finished with a grin, looking up at the blushing t-rex girl's face (whom nodded at his finishing of her sentence), blushing a bit himself...not only for the fact of how far he had to look up at her, but for such a pretty girl to be talking to him so openly...and about a topic like this prose novel about super heroes and super villians. He would slowly stand up, a finger tucked between the pages of where he left off...only to come up short as she was nearly twice his size, so he still required to look far up to meet her eyes "You're Allison Parker...I've seen you at the store a couple of times..."
The t-rex girl blushes bright, but nodded "Y-yeah...y-you had the copies of Ex-Heroes and Ex-Patriots I've been looking everywhere..." Tyler chuckled and nodded "Thats right, I remember you picking each of volume..really enjoy the concept of super heroes and zombies co-existing in the same universe, huh?"
"Like Peanut Butter and Chocolate...and equally messy..."
They both shared a chuckle and both sporting blushing cheeks, before Tyler finally asked "So...Out jogging, huh?"
"Y-yeah, I try and do it every day when I can...um, I really am sorry about interrupting your reading. It is a good book, I hope I didn't catch you at an engaging spot..."
"Oh, no, of course not Allison. I mean, yes its a great book, but theres no need to apologize. There's no harm do-"
That last word stopped dead as Tyler and Allison looked around to a booming call "HEY TINY TY, CATCH!" right as something fast and brown blurred by...and slammed right into Tyler's chest, the impact sending him back onto the tree with a meaty thunk...and with a gasping groan, slid down agaisnt the tree, as a horrified Allison looked down at the purple drake and then back to where the ball came from...as David Matthews and Greg "Fang" Nathaniel came hustling over, Fang bearing his nakesake fang in a sneering grin, chuckling as he looked down at the downed dragon, while David, clearly trying to hide a small smile himself, knelt down and gave his little brother a hand up,while the purple dragon wheezed and rubbed his chest, wincing to the touch. Both footballers were dressed in matching "training" outfits of tight black track pants, with blue stripes running down the sides, large black and blue sneakers on both pairs of furry and scaly feet, and blue football jerseys which hugged their torso's tight, black decals and lettering designating Fang as Number 10 and David as number 03, their positions on the team. They were clearly made in a closer mold...even if David certainly showed a bit more mercy and compassion to his little brother, he wasn't TOO different to the big bad black furred wolf...whose grin of amusement grew wider into a toothy smirk of lecherous approval as his eyes fell on Allison...
Well, sort of, seeing how, as the big bad wolf on campus WAS the largest manwolf on the team, the t-rexess still had four inches on him and though she didn't bare her own set of sharp chompers, she couldn't stop a throaty growl of disgust as she felt his eyes, undressing her piece by piece. David meanwhile, was gently thumping Tyler's back, chuckling as he collected the thrown object from before, a football (of course), saying with good cheer even if his brother was still wheezing and rubbing his sore chest.
"Sorry about that little bro...FANG here thought you were going to be able to catch that...which of course, he knew very well you weren't even paying attention!"
"What? Nah, I did say Catch, didn't I, Tiny Ty?"
Tyler's scowl was searing as he glared up at the grinning large lupine, but whatever scathing words he wished to use, he just coughed and nodded weakly, of which made the wolf beam and chuckle, slamming a hand onto David's back, saying with childish pride.
"SEE? Toldja...now come on. The others might've quit like the wusses they are today, but you and me are going to get another couple hours of practice in..."
David would smirk at Fang's words but before responding to him, he would stop and stare...at the heft chest of Allison's and then up at her, a look of momentary confusion and surprise etched on his blue snout. Unlike Fang's intentional gaze, David's accidental, confuzed look made Allison blush and smile a bit. Fang, who probably saw her as some sort of challenge, or perhaps another hot meaty body for him to claim on his long sheet of accomplishments. David on the other hand, probably had a hard time to process that there was a girl out there that was actually bigger then him, in more ways then one. Tyler, whom hadn't stared as intently as his bigger brother had, coughed especially loud and David snapped to, and smiled as one does to a pretty "new" girl, while Fang and Tyler, for one moment, shared a look of understood "Oh Jeezus, What ARE you doing, you idiot..."
"Hey there, I'm David Matthews...have we met...?"
Allison, though a bit upset at the blue dragon's rather mixed response to his brother's pain, smiled politely back, though her cheeks were still slightly warm.
"Um, yes actually...we take Experimental Chemistry together..."
Nothing
"...On Tuesdays and Thursdays?..."
Still Nothing
"...You burnt off Burton's eyebrows a couple weeks ago...?"
"OH! That class!"
A double audible slap to the foreheads of big black wolf and little purple brother dragon was enough to make Allison giggle as David looked back at them, Tyler sitting down agaisnt the tree while Fang walked off, waving a hand "Have Fun, Casanova...I'm going to do some stretches...when you're finished, come over and I'll kick your tail some more..."
David huffed while Allison sat down besides Tyler, shufting off her backpack, opening, peering at two bottles inside, and then at the two dragon brothers. Tyler was still breathing very funny and one can only guess how he was feeling after all that, all while David stood there, glaring after Fang, his smooth blue scales glistening with persperation from all his training. And when looking at the bottles, she licked her lips, feeling a bit thirsty herself...What should she do next?
