"cool." Sam said. "well my mother is," was he thought "from England. and my Dad is from colorado." he sensed Ellie was hiding something, but he decided not to press her on the matter. The pizza arrived, and they all dug in. Sam had pineaple and ham, which he loved. "od, this is absolutely delicious." he said happily, enjoying the night with his friends, old and new.

(I love Hawaiian pizza!)

Ellie had a four cheese pizza, which she enjoyed for the most part, other than the fact she had demolished it in a few minutes. She wrinkled her nose a little at Sams order, but left him be. She simply couldn't understand why you would have pineapple on pizza! Or any fruit for that matter. She just thought it disgusting. "Tell me," she paused after she finished, "how long have you guys known each other?" She questioned with her head cocked to the side a little.

Sam smirked and took a large bite of his fruity pizza when he saw Ellie's face. "oh, not that long, maybe 2 and a half years?" sam looked towards his friends. oce they had finished tearing away at their pizza, they agreed that it must have been around that time. "hey, shall we go out and walk for a bit?" Will asked. "yeah, its a new place to explore." sam said. 'lets go!"

Ellie finished her pizza before walking out with the group quietly. When she didn't have anything to say, she just went quiet until she either thought of something to say, or someone spoke to her. The thing was, this seemed to happen quite a lot with new people. "I see..." she murmured, keeping her head down, watching the ground as she walked.

"hey, are you ok?" Sam asked, dropping back from the group of people and stepping into a slow pace withe Ellie. "i get it, if youve had your fill of socializing, me too." he said quietly. "i think these guys want to hang around longer, but should we just go back to the horses?" he asked, thinking it would be best for both him and the girl.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Believe it or not, I'm not the best with new people." She said quietly with a small chuckle, "but at least I got pizza." She shrugged, offering the thankful smile. "Yes please, I think thats a good idea. But thanks for taking me, anyway." She was thankful fir getting the chance to socialise , even if it was a little, but for now, going back to her little hut sounded good.

yeah well i can sort of see that." Sam said, observing her. "okay, lets go back then, ill get a taxi." he told his friends they had to get back to the horses, and said goodnight. Then he called a taxi. 'should be here any minute." he said. it had been a fun night, and he was happy to get away from the yard for a while, bt he needed to get back. he yawned and stretched his arms wide, it was getting late. he stood next to Ellie in a comfortable silence as they waited for the cab.

After a quiet cab ride back 'home' Ellie popped out of the car and took a few steps away to stretch her legs. "Thank you again, for inviting me out." She praised with a sleepy smile. She was still tired from the night before so she had been very slow for most of the afternoon. "I know for a fact I wouldn't have the energy to go out myself." She said sarcastically, followed by a small chuckle.

Sam got out and yawned. "no problem, it was fun." he said. "yeah im normally low on energy too, but i was ok today." he smiled as he said this. "well ill see you tommorow then?" he asked, knowing the probable answer to the question. He had a great time, seeing his friends had been nice, but somehow bringing Ellie along had made it even nicer. he looked towards the yard, where Neo happily stuck his head out of the stable, muching away on his hay. Sam turned back to Ellie, Smiling.

"Maybe!" She teased with tired looking grin. "Goodnight then. I feel like actually sleeping in a bed, rather than a bench tonight." She noted before turning her back to him and made her way towards the little cabin. She got a shower and ready for bed before taking a glance out the window towards the barn with a small smile, then heading off to bed.
