Hey, hey! Watch me!

Weekends! Adeloise loved weekends! She liked the fact that she has an excuse to spend some time outside instead of being cooped up in her room doing homework. But she wouldn't let her friend, Stella hear her say that because she'd get an earful from her if that happened.

She stood at the swingset in the playground, getting pushed by a mostly unseen source as she swung back and forth. "Is that really the best you got, Adrien?" she taunted her companion. She heard the ghost scoff. "Most definitely not!" he responded, pulling her swing for a bit for added momentum.

Adeloise counted about three swings, back and forth, and by the fourth time her platform swung to its height-- "Hey, hey, check this out!" Without any other warning, Adeloise jumped off, though not with a smooth landing.

She'd landed mostly on her knees and rolled on the ground a bit from the jump, catching the attention of a few other kids playing and, of course, her own companion. The ghost rushed to her side, fussing over her as she pushed herself off from the ground, "Adeloise, what the heck was that?!" he snpped.

"I'm fine I swear!" she assured him, giving him her usual grin as she dusted off the dirt that clung to her skin and clothes.

Adeloise had expected to catch attention from how she called her ghost companion, but she hadn't expected a new voice to rush to her when she'd jumped off the swing. Adeloise and Adrien exchanged curious glances, though to the other girl, it might have looked as if Adeloise was looking around instead.

When she turned back to the girl, she gave her another one of her bright smiles, "Yeah, I'm alright, I was just showing my friend I could do stunts but I'm apparently still not good at it," she explained, rather casually as she tried to clean up the snow and dust that was on her hair. Adrien seemed to notice how the girl seemed to curl up, despite having approached first so he gave Adeloise a slight nudge.

Adeloise, on the other hand didn't pick up quick enough so she turned to her ghost companion with narrowed eyes before facing the girl again. "It's great to meet you, Erinella! My name's Adeloise. Can I just call you Erin? You can call me Addy if you want!"

Adeloise stuck her tongue out thoughtfully, considering the advice, until her next words clicked in, "Oooh! I'll keep that in mind next time. Do you do cheerleading? I always wanted to try but my parents always told me it's dangerous. And my other friends sometimes." It occured to her only after that she had mentioned Adrien to someone who couldn't see spirits again. Well, no matter! She'd rightly believed people in the island wouldn't really think she's nuts for befriending ghosts!

"So, my friend Adrien, you probably just can't see him," she chirped, taking a slight step to the side to make way for her companion. "See, he's actually a ghost about this tall --" Adeloise stepped on her tiptoes, raising her hand as if to reach Adrien's height which was more than she actually could. Adrien was actually laughing at her sad attempt. "And he's a super pretty boy. He's sort of like my babysitter since I'm staying away from my parents while I'm in school."

Unlike the shy girl, talking seemed like one of Adeloise's stronger suits ,"So Erin, did you come here with someone too?"

Adeloise clapped excitedly, "You must be really athletic! I tried the simpler routines before but I could never coordinate with all the stuff. Once I tried copying the high schoolers from my old school but even their basic routine was sooo tiring!" Adeloise would have loved to be able to do those tricks and high flying herself. Maybe she could join but... her parents probably wouldn't have it. Ahhh, she probably needs to find some way to convince them! "Maybe we could join together some day! I'll have to convince my parents about it though.

"So, yeah, Adrien is mostly invisible. Some people can see him like I do, but most people don't apparently? He's standing here next to me," Adeloise explained, waiving a hand to her side where the said ghost boy was standing. Adeloise was the only one who heard the faint "hey!" from her companion for passing her hand through his ghost body. "Don't worry about him though, he's real nice! But I can't let him go off on his own since he... might get lost without me." Adeloise stuck her tongue out jokingly. It wasn't that he was going to get lost. She mostly thinks it was that he couldn't go anywhere without her. Adrien didn't say anything on the topic.

Her gaze followed Erin's as she searched for her father in the park and found the man under sitting under the tree. "Aww! Your dad's real nice to go with you here," she mused aloud. "To be honest, my parents are kind of busy, my dad especially. I'm mostly used to it by now, but I do get homesick a lot. This is only my first year here in the island so I haven't been separated for long--and I did visit them over Christmas break! Besides, two of my ghost friends that came with me kind of act like parents too."
