Love is complicated

Ariel sighed and looked at Eric. "You do realize that you'd end up being my hubby then?" She smirked. "I wouldn't mind going but I'd rather not be in the middle of anything."

"Ain't no one stoppin' ya, ain't gone promises ya not gone get jumped if dat wat they plannin' fa meh." She holds the gun to her shoulder and takes out a smoke. Ethan stretches and walks to her side lazily look like the cat definition of 'don't give a fuck'. They start walking towards her apartment.

He blushes bright red "Uh... Well then." He coughs and straightens his shirt and mounts his scooter "I can help you fight if it really comes down to that. I don't want my friend hurt."

Ariel rolled her eyes and followed Ditana and Eric out the door. She sort of wanted to go but she knew she'd be useless in a fight. She was determined though to go with them.

(Sorry for short posts, but I'm getting writers block)

The three of them make it to the apartment relatively quickly while Ethan ran off to do cat stuff before they even reached the complex, "Gotta stop 'ere first." she unlocks the door and walks in.

The apartment was pretty fair sized. The living room connected to the kitchen and the hall with 3 doors; One room to the left was Ditana's, the other to the right was Eda's, and the one straight down was the bathroom. The whole place was overall neat, there was a computer next to the sofa with some notebooks next to it, which Ditana picked up and walked to her room with.

Eric parks his scooter and just follows her in, he doesn't care, he plops his tush on the couch, and kicks his feet up getting comfy, the house was nice, he was jealous, he didn't really have a home, just places he stayed frequently.

Ariel stands there awkwardly. She looks at pretty much every single thing in her range of vision. She walks over to a window and watches the activity going on outside.

"Would you have imagined that today would go like this?"

Ditana threw her books on the bed and put everything in her pockets into her dresser. She then goes into her closet and pulls out a small bag - kinda looks like a sack - and puts her new gun along with her books and a pencil in it. She tightens the strap of the bag and slings it over her shoulder, spraying a few ashes over the carpet from her cig, then leaves the room and gets a bottle of water for herself and taking a swig. "We gon' leave inna few, jus gotta get 'om'ore[some more] stuff ready."

She leaves her bag on the table and goes into the bathroom, pretty clear what the other stuff she's taking care of is.

"I had no idea I'd end up here, no." Eric nods and stands stretching, at least he could leave the scooter here this time, the he did go retrieve a little something from it. And also some candies, he came inside and offered some nerds to Ariel "Want some?"
He sat back down and started eating some of his own, he was planning on keeping Ditana from leaving if he could.

"Ah not thanks. But thanks for the offer~" Ariel replied and smiled kindly at Eric. SHe sat on the other end of the couch. She started unconsciously biting her nails.

Ditana walks out of the bathroom after drying her hands off before grabbing her bag and walking towards the door. "A'ight matha fuckas, let get befo dat ass get bored an' leave" She motions to them the same way she does towards Ethan as she goes to open the door.

Eric sighs and follows her out, seems that his candistraction would not work, he still offers her some though "Candy?" He makes sure that he was prepared for this shit.

Ariel hops up and follows them. She thought back to every movie she ever saw that had fighting in it. Didn't seem too hard to her. Keep her wrist straight when she punched... She did a little punch when no one was looking. Aw yeah, she could do this. She was tough. Just because of her soft exterior she could be street. Yo.

"Yea, sure." She takes some and eats it on the way, and it takes nearly an hour to get to their destination. It's almost on the outskirts of the town, almost all the buildings looked abandoned or just in need of some construction. It didn't seem particularly dangerous - especially during the day - but there were a few drifters from the city near by graffiting on one of the buildings and not pretty much ignoring the three as they walk pass.

Someone who was sitting on the top of an abandoned car with 3 or 4 other people hanging on it jumped down and in front of Ditana, barely a foot of space between them which showed a clear height difference. Though the teen in front of her was only taller by an inch or two, muscle wise he made her look like a toothpick. He sneered at her "About time you got here, for a second I thought you weren't going to show and make us  hunt you down." he looked pass her to Eric and Ariel "Who are they supposed to be? Your back up? Tch, they look so weak I almost feel bad about having my gang beat up on them."

Ditana just stares at him dully before blowing smoke in his face and throwing her bag to Ariel "Ain't no fuckin' back up, motha fuckas jus felt like followin' meh here."

He shrug "The friend of my enemy is my enemy as well." The three that were hanging out on the car started circling them, all were small than the guy standing in front of Ditana, and 2 were shorter than Ditana but still showed more muscle than them. "Now then, are you gonna give me my cousin's money, or will we have to just beat it out of you?"

"Bitch yall ain'gon beat shi'outta me." She ducked under the punch aimed at her face and sent a quick upper cut to his chin, using the few seconds of his stunned state to her advantage, she sends two quick jabs to his chest and stomach, forcing him to take a few steps back before he charged. She didn't really try to move out of the way and instead ducked when he grappled her, making it harder for him to get the upper hand by pinning her arms too quickly, and swiped his legs from under him before jumping on him and started punching his face and chest area to keep him on the - very poor - defensive.

Two of the people originally circling them charge at her while she beating enemy number 1 - which we shall call him until someone shouts his name.

What will Eric and Ariel do about goon 1 and goon 2? Stay tuned for the next episode of DragonBa- I mean, for Chaotic and Classical's posts!

Eric whips out a long range taser, and fries goon 1, leaving it connected he turns his attention, and pepper spray, to goon two, but he doesn't do anything just yet since Ariel might be on top of this.

Ariel caught the bag and quickly threw it on her shoulders. She wasn't going to trust it anywhere else but on her. She saw two guys going to get Ditana. She saw a good sized rock and picked it up. Just before the second goon got to Ditana she lobbed the rock and hit him squarely in the head. He rubbed where the rock hit him and turned to Ariel. He growled and started coming at her.

She looked around and found one more rock. If she missed then she would be in a bit of trouble. She threw it, aiming for the forehaed, but she hit his nose instead, making it bleed. Well that was still a great hit. He staggered back and looked at the blood on his hand. He was severely pissed off now.

While goon 1 lay as a twitching mess on the ground, goon 2 nodded at something behind Ariel before goon 3 grabbed her from behind and pinned her arms to her side. Goon 2 pulled out a knife and sneered down at her.

Ditana saw this from the side of her eye and got up punching goon 2 in the face within seconds. Goon 3 pushed Ariel into Ditana before punching her in the face and forcing her to stumble back and fall while she was pushing Ariel off her. Goon 2 then preceded to stomp on Ditana's chest "Fuck!"

"Yo Ceasar, I got him down!"

Enemy 1, AKA Ceasar, then stood up with blood flowing down his face from his forehead, nose, and a little from his mouth. "Good." He then looks over at Eric and tries to tackle him to the ground before he has a chance to use his taser again.

Eric was half ready, pepper spraying all over Ceasar, but still going down because he is a huge wimp!
He struggles to get out from under the guy before he realizes he doesn't need to see.

Ariel looked up at Goon 3 before he pushed her into Ditana, then on to the ground. She took a moment to get up and when she did she saw Eric get tackled by Ceaser. She rushed over and kicked Ceaser's side as hard as possible.

"Get the hell off of him!"

Ceaser recoiled off Eric from the kick, mostly from shock instead of pain, then he growled and tried to punch her.

Ditana meanwhile hard grabbed the foot stomping on her chest and forced him to fall, sending goon 3 onto his side, he then rolled onto her and they proceeded to grapple each other on the ground. Goon 2 got up again and kicked her in the back hard enough to make her release goon 3, he then got up and the both started kicking her, so she couldn't do much more than try to protect her face and vital areas.

Eric gets the taser again, and shoots for the guy on Ditana next, his adrenaline was in full swing now, and he was starting to panic, he sees someone on the ground and kicks him in the neck, that sounds painful enough.

Ariel ducked but still got a good bit of knuckle to her head. She stepped back and glared at Ceaser. Her heart was beating fast, adrenaline pumping through her veins. Her vision was a little blurry but she didn't want to give up. She would prove herself to her friends.

One of the guys kicking Ditana fell over in as a twitching mess on the ground, which gave her an opportunity to get back to her feet and start punching goon 3 repeatedly, then stump on him when he fell over.

Ceaser falls over and coughs from the kick in the neck after punching Ariel. "I'm going to kill every single one of you!" He looks over at his friends on the ground and growls, backing away from them and pulling the closest goon[1] onto his back before running off and leaving the other two.

"Haha, dat was fun!"

"Next time I'm bringing a chainsaw you assholes!" Eric swings his fist at them and laughs, and laughs, and laughs, and his knees shake, and he falls over "Fuck that was intense, why were you coming into this?"

"Well fa one, dis shit fun. Two, a gotta reputation ta hold up. An' three, if a ain't com out 'ere dey 'ould 'ome afta meh an' a rather fight 'em on mah own terms." She stretched her arms out, spitting blood on the street and cracking her knuckles. Her fists arms were pretty bruised up with a few scrapes her and there but she was otherwise fine.

She grinned at them "Yall ass holes ain't dat bad at dis shit, might bring yall out wit meh afta dis." she motions for Ariel to hand her her bag.
