...on rugs on the ground
;-)
-Well, I've even brought my own bed!! Just in case you don't have enough for 15 people!
-And how many people can you carry with the Fabia?
-One and a half as it is, with the beach chairs, the drawer and what have you...
-So, take the drawer (...drawer? DRAWER???) and the beach chairs out, when we get home!! Cause you'll be driving some of us to the pool party, the van doesn't accomodate all!!
-Oh, right... As long as we don't forget the cake!
;-P
-Hm.. Koyan has a strange signal light to turn, don't you think?
-Yeah, and that skull and bones thingy, what? Is it a warning sign! Maybe we should get him new signal lights...
-You think? Maybe we should get him a new motorbike!!
;-P
-So, Koyan! Have you heard of gravity?
-Don't worry, I won't fall asleep...
-It's not the "asleep" we're concerned with, it's the "fall"
;-P
-You should try these, I've brought them from Mexico!
-Oh, WOW!!! These are absolutely fantastic (and let's not forget the
tequila!!!!). And the wafery ones, even more so!!
-Yeah, these, however, are a bit hot, there's chilly in them!
-Oh, how much candy did you bring? Are these all?
-No, I've also got these...
-Ok, are THESE all you've brought?
-Actually, no....
-... I've also brought this bag here....
-Oh, ok...., soooo, where do you leave the bag when you sleep?
;-P
-Did you accidentally throw Koyan into the pool?
-Well, he was just standing there... it was so provocative!!
-Hoho, do it again, he can't hurt you, you have the cast, you can threaten him with it!!
;-P
-That's definitely a
piña colada!
-And where's the rum, then?
-There's some in it!
-What? Like a drop? I can't taste any! Noone's ever gonna get drunk on this!!
-Well, the margueritas are coming later on!
;-P
-What's this, then?
-Strawberry daquiri...
-And those other jugs over there?
-Melon, and margueritas!
-Are we ordering with colours?
;-P
-What kind of cake is it?
-Two separate chocolate cakes!!!! They're delicious!
-Oh, but I don't like chocolate!!
-Oh, EXCELLENT!! More for us then!!
-.. but I'll try Stella's cake, from yours!
;-P
-Are you done with the pictures? Cause we would actually like to cut it!!!
-Ok, as long as you serve us from both!!
;-D
-Do you think there is an actual chance of lighting the candles with all that wind?
-Oh, well,... they make holes on the topping too... But, we can try!
-One, two, three...
-Hm... three seconds pass faster if you're Mexican, then?
-Actually, one, two, three, is 2.6 seconds...
-Hm... he's got a point, you know... Actually, one between 2 and 6!!
;-P
-We need a native speaker here, to rule on what the card says!
-(Yeah, plus she's holding a huge knife... who would challenge what she says??) So, Sarah?
-Ok, the card doesn't say, so Stella can actually do that, even more so since it's against the rules.
-Well, she has sharp logic... (not to mention a sharp knife, eh?)
;-P
-How long before the echiladas are ready?
-Well, since you didn't actually light the oven, much longer than you planned!!!
;-P
-These are a bit spicy, heh?
-A BIT? Just keep the hose ready...
;-P
-There's an echilada left!!!
-Ok, if noone claims it, I'm willing to sacrifice myself!!
-We can split it in half... Wow, you eat much faster than I do!!!
-Well, I am extremely efficient in eating!! (Plus, with munchkin on the table, you never know who can steal it away or claim it in 2.6 seconds...)
;-P
-So, how many wi-fi devices you think we have now at the house?
-About 2 per person? So that would make at least 15!!!
-And how many Octavia Butler books? And readers? ( I knew, I should have brought my own copy...)
;-P
-What are you doing?
-I'm decorating Ernesto's cast.. And then, can I draw on your hand too?? I can make very beautiful flowers
-Eh... ok.....
;-)
And for the rest of the way...
Largo....

Days, that eventually turn into nights, when the colours melt into darkness, when the darkness below....
... opens up to unexpected hidden vaults! We follow the layers of meaning, and the rules of the game....
...and play with words even more..... words are still everywhere... eyes smile, quiet understanding... comforting...
The sweet taste of life, its sour moments drowned in laughter, the joy of people who know that they now, can have their chance.... 
More stories wait to unfold, they anchor themselves to random memories, and they dash out to our present... No end and no beginning? We ride words....
..like waves...
They are the map we use to find one another... Again, the quiet comfort of shared memories... shared stories... They rearrange themselves, and leave us all on our separate, but yet crossing ways.
Out of the sky, I close my eyes.....
...and it feels like home..
