Noveling Fury! Kick Off Event by Echo Elms
February 1st. The first day of Novelling Fury!. Today was the day Echo had told the group they would be having an all day sit-in in Labyrinth Gardens. That meant, that for the entire duration of the day, anyone walking through the gardens would see at least one person writing.Saul had been able to get in touch with the House Elves via his cousin, Mr. Tellerman, and they had been provided a small table and an unending plate of cookies shaped like open books. It was awesome. Echo taped a sign that said, "Novelling Fury!" to the table and laid out an old blue cowboy bedspread for novellers to sit on. Last Fury! Echo had written a tale about a cowboy who lassoed dinosaurs, so it seemed appropriate. Brett promised to be along later with a Green Bay Packers sheet.
So far, so good. Now, for the writing. Echo folded his lanky legs under him and pulled out his notebook (enchanted to show his wordcount on the cover), and opened it to the first page, which read, "Testing, testing? One, two, three."
He looked up and saw another Furious Noveller wandering about, and waved. They didn't have to novel on the blanket, but it was more comfortable and they were certainly welcome. It was all about the mass novelling.\r\n\r\n

So here I am... by Hyana Kamiya
Hyana was somewhat nervous. She knew what she was going to write about. But she knew that Caedence was supposed to be in it too, and that made her a little more than nervous. She wished Josiah was a part of this. He would probably write a story about girls and how much he liked girls...so that probably wouldn't be an answer.She walked through the gardens, clutching her plain, violet notebook tightly to her chest. If it wasn't run by Echo she probably wouldn't be doing this. She couldn't write. And who would be interested about a first year's life at Sonora anyway? Zack seemed to think that it was a good idea. Of course, it was Zack. And he was an alien obsessed teenage boy. He probably thought everything was cool.
Hyana was close enough now to see Echo waving someone over. It turned out to be a Pecari reserve, Irene Liddowe. She doubted they could see her, so she stood for a moment, brown almond eyes surveying the area. She couldn't see Caedence. But she couldn't run forever. Well Hyana, here we go. She thought to herself as she walked over to the group.
She sat on the cowboy bedspread, not really noticing anything around her. She didn't belong there. Why was she even trying? She sighed and opened her notebook, staring at the blank page. She left her pencil behind her ear, hidden behind her hair. Lost in thought, she didn't notice who sat next to her. It took until the person said something for her to snap out of her thoughts.
"Sorry, didn't catch that." She apologized sheepishly. "Could you repeat that?"

And I too... run by Caedence
Caedence had come to Noveling Fury armed with a broom (she wanted to go do some laps at the pitch after she was done) a quill, parchment, and her black journal. She still didn’t even know why her mom opted for a nice journal, instead of a horrible pink one. After all, her mom was deluded into thinking that Caedence was a girl.She looked at the bed sheets with a sneer. Yeah, right, cowboy sheets. And this wasn’t lame how? She smelled something in the air. It was… yes! Cookies! She let a rare grin grace her face as she walked over towards them. Books? Oh my gosh, how… cliché. Books, for a book writing club. She sighed, at least they would probably taste like cookies, unless they were poisoned, in which case Echo would have no novelers to help him out, thus defeating the purpose of the meeting. So, she tasted one. Not too bad, probably from the house elves.
Her braid was tied with the ribbon Hyana had given her. She dressed cooly, as the weather was getting hotter. Her black shorts were offset with a grey tank top. On her feet were navy blue flip flops. Around her neck was a black choker, made out of glittering beads in a crisscrossing pattern about an inch thick. On each of her wrists was a thick black bracelet. She wished she was old enough to add shadow to her eyes, but her mom wouldn’t let her until she was fourteen, two years from now.
Speaking of Hyana, she was on the ground for the club. She recalled Echo saying something about her being in the club. She was staring at a blank page. Caedence sighed. The idiot. She would have to help her, again. Was this girl helpless without Caedence’s guidance?
“’Lo…” she muttered standing off to one side. She found herself a seat next to Hyana. "Sorry, didn't catch that. Could you repeat that?" Caedence sighed, “If I’ve taught you anything it’s that enemies are all around. Don’t zone out like that. Anyways, I see you’re having issues. Need any help?” She tilted her head to one side. She didn’t smile, but her face took on a less feral look, opting for a docile composure. \n

But I haven't gotten a cookie yet! by Hyana
Caedence. It had been Caedence. She couldn't space out and have Zack bug her, or whoever else was in the club. It just had to be Caedence.“If I’ve taught you anything it’s that enemies are all around. Don’t zone out like that." Caedence practically snapped at her. Hyana bit her tounge. She wasn't going to apologize. Not this time. Caedence would probably get mad anyway...
Anyways, I see you’re having issues. Need any help?” What was this? Caedence was offering help? Was this really Caedence? "Huh?" Hyana asked, turning her gaze to Caedence, expecting to see a violent look on her face. Instead, she looked somewhat calm. It was kinda pretty. No wonder Hikaru was crushing on Caedence.
Hyana forced herself to ignore those thoughts. Hikaru would kill her if Caedence found out, and Caedence would kill her for telling. If that made sense. But that was how it worked in the first year's mind. "Ummm...I'm just trying to think of a good beginning sentence. I'm just writing about my year at Sonora. I figured it might be helpful to some first year in Aladren."
Then she noticed that Caedence was wearing her ribbon! It put a small smile on her face. "So I see I got you an okay present after all..." She commented, trying very carefully to choose the right words. She didn't want the same thing to happen here. After all, it was in the Gardens where Caedence hit her. Why not have it happen again?

My cookies... grr! by Caedence
"Ummm...I'm just trying to think of a good beginning sentence. I'm just writing about my year at Sonora. I figured it might be helpful to some first year in Aladren." Caedence thought that that was a good idea. It was way better than her story. This girl was in Aladren for a reason. Even if she was stupid about practical things like street fighting and learning how to care for herself.Caedence shrugged at the comment about the braid. “I guess it was okay, Kamiya. Mother got me a kitten for my birthday, but I didn’t want Scrap to get lost outside. Maybe I can fetch him after Noveling Fury! what do you think?”
She glanced at the parchment that she brought with her. Okay, how to start her story? “Well, if your story is about the school, start with something about the school. Like Sonora Academy, in the Painted Desert if Arizona, has a wide variety of classes, students, and places…. Something cheesy like that” she said.
She scribbled on her parchment Nathelie wasn’t like other normal girls. She had always been picked on for being a girl. So one day she decided to change all that. One day, Nathelie decided to become a boy.
It all started one day at the school playground…
She glanced up at Hyana, “Just let it come to you. Maybe even just start out with a name. That might get to writing things out. And cookies help,” she nodded at the plate with a smirk seeing Hyana without one. \n

They're technically not your cookies by Hyana
Hyana found herself staring at the page again as Caedence spoke. She still felt guilty about their fight. It was her fault after all. But when Caedence began to speak of a kitten, she looked up in slight surprise. Her mom got her a kitten? What a great person! So not all mothers were bad. Of course, her mom wasn't bad either. Just...troubled."Maybe I can fetch him after Noveling Fury! what do you think?" Caedence asked. Hyana smiled and nodded her head. "That sounds good." She replied. "My mom made me get rid of my cat over midterm. Bry-" She sighed. She still couldn't say his full name. There was just something weird about him. "My mom's boyfriend is allergic to cats."
Even though Caedence still might be mad at her, she was acting like a normal girl. It made Hyana happy. Caedence seemed to be having a better second half of term than she expected. She was even giving Hyana suggestions.
"Thanks Caede..nce." Hyana finished Caedence's name. Caede probably didn't consider Hyana a friend. So she probably didn't want to be called Caede.
Sonora Academy. A Home away from Home. That's what it is to me, Hyana Kamiya. Hyana wrote. That sounded cheesy, right? She saw Caedence writing, and figured it had something to do with martial arts. As Hyana went back to write, Caedence glanced up and said something about cookies.
"Uh, no thanks. Maybe later." She replied. She didn't really eat cookies. Her sister used to make them, but after she died, her mom stopped buying and making them. Glancing back up at Caedence, Hyana thought of something to say. Caedence might be the 'I want quite while I work' people, but Hyana really hoped she wasn't. She wanted to keep up a conversation.
"You're a really good Chaser Caedence." She finally said, returning her gaze to her paper. "I enjoyed watching the last game. I bet the championships would've been fun. We would've won if I hadn't let in that stupid goal." She sighed. Quidditch, something else to write about. Maybe she would make the word goal after all.
