Scouting - Tag Ben, Eden, OPEN

[Sloane Taylor]

She forgot how cute Ben was. He hadn't really changed much when it came to his face. He still had those chubby cheeks, although they were starting to get a bit defined. Those sparkling blue eyes still wide and seemingly still unassuming. And that smile, still so...she guessed innocent. Despite being a pot head, he looked very sober and kind of perky really. Maybe she should try it sometime...

"I'm not opposed to that idea, really. We should." Sloane refrained from touching Ben. She didn't know why but with Eden it felt okay probably because she was a girl. "It's been what...five, six years since we last saw each other?" She asked, not really expecting an answer. She directed the two to the ledge by the pier and rested her back against it as she continued with her snack.

Sloane watched as the twins interacted. She didn't say anything as she saw the opposite dynamics of the two. She wondered if Eden was different when they were really in private. She must be if she got the attention of Jett Chen. Sloane wondered if she would ever be privy to that side of the blonde female. Her eyes wandered to Ben and wondered what he would be like in private. She didn't need to assume anything to know that Ben was a virgin. She could smell a virgin a mile away. It was something about their body language. Guys were easier to identify. Girls...well they were harder to pinpoint. Innocent looking didn't mean their virginity was still intact.

The redhead snapped out of her musings and looked up at Ben with a smirk when he mentioned homework. "I hope you don't expect me to believe that you'd blow me and Eden and the pier off in favour of homework do you?" She chuckled and threw the stick the corn dog came with into the trash can nearby. "What about the free fall? I like to ride fast." She looked at Ben pointedly just for a second before cocking her head to Eden. "Shall we?"

[Eden Patridge]

Ben seemed sober and perky because he was. He'd smoked earlier but he'd lost his high awhile ago and seeing how he'd just caffeinated himself, he was definitely more upbeat than normal Ben. "Well, we've seen each other," he pointed out, "its that talking to each other thing we've sort of missed out on," Ben pointed out. After all, they had been going to school together, Ben even had a few classes with Sloane this year, they'd just sort of been caught up in their own worlds.

Ben laughed when Sloane mentioned blowing them off for homework. "Oh course not," he said, "but I did kind of just sober myself up to do it, so I probably should get to that at some point, but lets do that free fall thing first," he grinned. He tossed out the stick left over from his corndog and headed over to buy some ride tickets. Eden followed suit.

Once the tickets were purchased they headed over toward the ride which really didn't have much of a line. After all it was a weeknight and while the pier always had people at it, it definitely was more quiet on weeknights than it was during the weekends when you might wait in long rides for a ride that was just a few minutes long.

"So I think we'll have more tickets for one more ride after this," Ben said counting the left over tickets after they handed the ones in for this ride. "I say we hit up the roller coaster...or I guess we could to the ferris wheel if you want to do something more chill, but you did say fast rides right?" he asked Sloane. Eden was being sort of quiet now, letting her brother do all the talking. It wasn't that she couldn't hold a conversation on her own, it was just that when Ben was around it was just easier...it was what she'd grown up with and what was comfortable.

While Eden had always been the shyer of the twins and while she'd made huge leaps and bounds from that innocent little girl that just followed her brother around all the time to the person she was today, some things still seemed to stick. When it was their turn to get on the ride, Eden took the spot on the end while Ben slid himself into one of the middle seats, letting Sloane have the seat in-between the twins. They locked themselves in and it felt like they were shot up in the air the moment they did so. Eden let out a little involuntary scream when it started, laughing, "It always gets me," she giggled, now sitting in the air waiting in anticipation of the drop.
