Weekend trip(open)

[Deleted]

((December 18th-1:00 pm,somewhere in DC))

It was a week from christmas and last day of his family's vacation, Talon seeing the chance to walk around the crowded and heavily packed city. Though he found the city somewhat fascinating, especially the history it held so dear in places, he still preferred the mountainous place he called home: the Rocky Mountains. None the less his adoptive family had decided to take a vacation to the nation's capital, just to get away from a country life and see what the city life was like again.

Most of this weekend he had spent with his awe struck family, being polite to not voice his discontent in being such a crowded, filthy place. Least to him it was. Finding quiet places in the wilderness, enjoying the fresh air it offered, and just finding a piece of mind was what he wanted. It's what he seemed to love and crave, something he had always loved. In fact Talon was actually quite a calm teen and seemed at peace with himself, where as most teens could be rambuncious and go amuck whenever they pleased. But Talon was respectful and compliant, when it called for it then there were times he showed a darker side of himself.

With his adoptive parents allowing him to be out on his own the techno organic saw that this was at least proof he was a handful of teens to be trusted. Talon not only was like that but he also seemed curious to the world around him, so coming here there was that bright side to know the history of his human side. Yet there was also that side of being curious to his cybertronian heritage, and he hoped one day to know this.

For now he walked to side walks along those crowded streets, veering off to find some place he could avoid too much traffic. His gaze scanned the buildings and deciding on where to go, but his stomach growled a bit and he decided it might be best to get something for lunch before he continued his trek around Washington DC and then continue. So he went to the nearest fast food place, buying a double cheeseburger, waffle fries, and a Dr.pepper before stepping outside. Once he found a small park area and sat at a picnic table Talon set his stuff down and began to eat.

[Newt Weyland]

A week before Christmas! How could Newt have forgotten to do her Christmas shopping! She still had to buy some presents for her friends, and didn't really expect much of a Christmas herself, other than the few presents she got from her friends and maybe a few presents from the family of her mother and father, but other than that it would be a fairly small Christmas like always. She had already gotten a few of her friends presents bought, for most of her girl friends, she got shirts, jewelry and of course shopping gift cards. Now she just had to shop for her brother like friend from high school, she knew many things that he liked and was planning to buy him a new hat from the mall as well as a new t-shirt from his favorite store.

On her way to the mall, she decided that she would stop somewhere and get some lunch because it was noon and she had eaten a small breakfast. She knew of several good restaurants near the park in Washington, and decided that a delicious sandwich and chip combination was what she was going to get. She went into the restaurant, and grabbed a ham and swiss sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and onion with a side of Pringles potato chips.

After she got her sandwich, she decided since it was a fairly decent day outside. She went into the park and went to the center of the park. She sat on the fountain near the center of the park and began to eat her sandwich in peace, wondering what else she could do for entertainment aside from shopping.

[Deleted]

After finishing his lunch Talon threw away his trash into a trash bin before taking a walk in the park, finally glad to see some change in scenary that wasn't all buildings and traffic. Taking a deep breathe he could smell some of the more natural air but there was still that polluted feel to it which made Talon frown slightly as he walked. Though the sound of rushing water captured the teen's attention, curiously following that sound towards the middle of the park to which he soon discovered it was a fountain.

Though there hardly seemed anyone around, save for one girl close to his age, least he assumed and didn't really pay much mind to her. She was enjoying her own lunch so he focused on the water and brought a hand up, a little bit of the water coming towards him to start forming a ball of water in his palm, swirling around in the middle like mist. Some people who did pass by stared at Talon as if he was strange before moving alone hastily as he glanced their direction.

It was true when Talon wasn't shy to show his powers, and it wasn't like he was doing anything, just simply testing it. And right now it was just the only thing to calm his mind slightly as he then once more focused on the water.

[Newt Weyland]

Newt was enjoying her sandwich and once she finally finished her sandwich she wrapped up the bag and then began to work on her chips. She leaned back on her hands and simply enjoyed the nice weather during the winter until something happened to catch her attention. The first thing that caught her attention was a few people hastily rushing away from the water fountain. She tilted her head lightly and wondered if it was her that was causing them to run, when the sound of water rushing differently caught her attention. It sounded like the fountain was running funnily, when she turned around she found that was far from the truth.

She turned to look behind her and noticed a teenager around her age. She blushed slightly because he was extremely good looking and reminded her of someone she had only met a few days ago. She tilted her head at him, and until she noticed that it was him causing the water "problem." She watched as he seemed to warp the water into the middle of his palm and created a small mist. She was instantly mystified by it. How in the heck was he doing that?! Magic? Levitation? Manipulation? She put down her chips and turned around to face him, asking him quietly and in an obviously fascinated tone, "H-how are you doing that?"

[Deleted]

Hearing the other teenager speak Talon looked towards her with dark hazel green eyes, shrugging his shoulders,"Just a little power I have. Of course you might not understand what I mean less you know the other side of me." He said calmly, letting the water move back over the fountain before letting it drop into the water once more and glanced back at Newt,"Sorry if it startles you a little besides making you fascinated, seems to happen sometimes to those who are a little frightened."

Talon's voice almost seemed a lot like someone Newt had indeed met the days before, and he almost resembled that someone. But there were still some features he got from his real mother, who as far as he knew was deceased but his father had never known about him so he was content with his life as it was. "Also my name is Talon Torreto, what's your's?"He asked kindly.

[Newt Weyland]

Newt watched the teen closely as he spoke of how he was able to control the water like that. She was still in awe that he was able to move the water so fluently and without any hesitation. She nodded as he continued to talk, letting him know that she was still listening until he suddenly apologized to her. She raised an eyebrow to him, "Are you kidding? Thats gotta be the coolest thing I've ever seen!" She was literally having a freak out session in her mind, still trying to piece together just how this kid was managing to do that!

She also was still analyzing every feature about him that was familiar, so reminiscent of the person she had met only a few days ago, and even though she had only seen this kid for a few minutes, there was a striking resemblance in personality. She listened as he introduced himself as Talon Torreto, and she smiled to him, "Mine's Newt Weyland." She offered her hand to him for him to shake as a simple greeting. It wasn't everyday that she got to make a new friend, but it was becoming a bit more frequent with meeting new faces.

[Deleted]

"Nice to meet you Newt."Talon said as he shook her hand, smiling slightly at her. Though it was a little surprising that he met someone not freaked out by his ability, since most of the time people freaked. Unknowingly to Talon Newt was mentally freaking out in awe but he thought she was rather calmer then most he met, which to him was a huge plus for meeting someone out of the blue. "So you come to DC often or live here?" He asked curiously, wondering of Newt was a current resident.

If she was perhaps they could take a walk and she would know the place better then he could navigate alone. Actually he was also looking to have some form of conversation and Newt seemed nice, maybe they could talk and become friends at this point or another. Though with Talon the way he was making friends wasn't easy and he had already had difficult times with what he was.

[Newt Weyland]

Newt smiled cheerfully as she had successfully managed to meet another good looking guy without freaking out and making an absolute fool of herself. "Its nice to meet you too." She replied and then looked up towards the sky for a brief moment. Still trying to figure out exactly why this kid seemed so familiar to her, and why he was so similar to Blake whom she had met only a few days ago. Then again, maybe he was just another one of those quiet types.

She then looked to him as he asked if she was a current resident or if she was just visiting. "I live here. Moved here when I was about eleven years old, and throughout the years have somehow managed to familiarize myself with the insane puzzles of streets and buildings. Myself, I prefer to be where its more open and peaceful, but I've lived in busy cities all my life. I've only been to the 'country' once before, and I am dying to go back."

[Deleted]

"Ironically I've always lived in the country and rarely have visited the city except for a few times when I was young and this weekend which I have to say I can't wait to be leaving. Though like you said this place is like a maze, can only get so far before getting lost."Talon said with a slight smile. "But if your ever looking to come out to the country your more then welcome to my home, we have plenty of places to go, just hope ou love climbing."He said as he began to walk and looked back as a sign she was welcome to come along if she wanted.

He paused though to let Newt catch up as he gazed around the area for a moment, observing the large city of D.C. and turning his gaze to watch for places he would recognize if he and Newt went their separate ways at some point. And eventually they would but there was still a whole day to waste so he wasn't in any hurry and was looking forward to speak with someone at least.

[Newt Weyland]

Newt smiled back at Talon as he mentioned that his home was always available, and even though she had just met the guy, she already had the feeling that she was going to become good friends with him and take him up on that offer sometime. "I'd love to come visit sometime, Talon. Climbing isn't my closest friend, but I'm willing to adjust!" She replied with a grin as he got up and began to take a walk, motioning for her to follow him if she wished. She gathered the two bags of christmas presents she had bought and quickly allowed herself to catch up with Talon.

Once she reached his side, she looked around at the park as well as the large buildings that over took the park landscape. She did enjoy spending time at the park because it got her away from the constant honking and yelling of people on the streets of Jersey. "Hey, I've got an idea. Since this is your first time visiting the city, how about I give you a little tour? I've got an entire free afternoon now that my christmas shopping is done. Of course, only if you would like a tour."

[Deleted]

Talon smiled a bit but considered her offer before nodding,"A tour would help honestly, and better then just wandering around without a clue of where to go."He told her watching her get two bags of christmas presents. "Do you need a hand with those bags?"He asked, just trying to be nice and give her some help until they were to separate later on. And honestly he really was up for taking his time and doing something to help all the time, it just was how he was even though others rarely let him do so. And it seemed only fair since Newt was helping him to get around Washington.

[Newt Weyland]

Newt shook her head to Talon's offer of helping her carry her bags, "Oh don't worry about the bags. My car is parked just outside of the park, luckily away from any parking meters. I can just drog my bags off there and get them later." She said as she continued to walk throughout the park with Talon, eager to show him around the town. She could probably take him to a few of her favorite places to eat as well as some of the more touristic and scenic places.

After the two finally left the park, she approached a large parking lot to the side of the park and among the large group of cars was one car in particular that stood out. The car was a 2011 GT40. The car was not one that was too foreign to New Jersey, however the young gir looked rather, odd in such an expensive car.

[Deleted]

Talon nodded in understanding as he followed Newt out to the parking lot, looking around a bit until she came to a rather nice looking car. Seeing it the techno organic couldn't help whistling slightly,"Now that's a nice car." He commented, looking over the GT40 with slight awe, wishing he could take a similar form in his cybertronian side. Unfortunately when he had tried to do so his systems had found it incapable forcing him to find a much smaller form that he could find to match his kind of vehicle.

Luckily he could take on a second favorite kind of vehicle, though he wasn't about to show Newt while they were in the open and didn't quite know how her reaction would come out. Unknowingly to him she had met the Transformers already. When she had dropped her bags into the car Talon glanced at her,"So where should we try first?"He asked her.

[Newt Weyland]

Newt approached the GT40 and grinned proudly upon hearing Talon whistle at her car. She looked back at him as he complimented the car, "Thanks! My dad bought it for me when I was sixteen. I had always had my eye on the Ford GT's and he wanted me to have one." She replied proudly, but secretly hoping that she didn't sound like some kind of a spoiled rich kid who got what she wanted no matter what. After she opened the passenger door and leaned the seat forward, she placed the bags behind the seat and leaned it back, hiding the gifts rather well from any petty thief in the area. She locked the door with her keyless entry and then placed the keys back in her purse before she turned back around to face Talon.

"Well, There are many places that I enjoy hanging out and visiting every now and then. There are public ferry rides, carnival near the ocean, there's of course video game arcades as well as a huge paint ball arena, and thats just a few of the places! I could also take you to some of the historic locations of Washington DC if your more into the historic side of the city. Its your choice, whatever you want to do, your the 'guest' after all." She joked.

[Deleted]

"You sometimes get what you really want, all you have to do is ask and you might receive."Talon said, smiling a bit but thought nothing bad about Newt for wanting a car she really loved. A lot of people wanted certain cars, especially sporty ones such as her GT, yet they didn't always have that chance and he thought she was one of those few with a lucky break to get it. "As for where to go either one sounds good, perhaps start off with the more historic parts then move onto a few fun places alongthe way, or both if we come acrossthem."He suggested, thinking it might make it more iterating to kind of mix it up a little.

Though he smiled at Newt's joke,"Well then I guess the hostess can lead the way from here, after all a guest is absolutely clueless in such a large home."He added to it, hoping to give a little more of a lighter mood between the two since it seemed they got along just fine even for just meeting. Oddly though he could say he quite liked Newt right off the bat to most people, she Dudley wasn't anyone he would consider ignorant or arrogant but had a rather kind and humorous aura to her. There weren't many who were like that and it was a nice change in his opinion, to be around so Wien who wouldn't be so judgmental or just fakethe kindness.
