It was absolutely spectacular. The city appeared to resemble the insides of a clock. Ginormous teethed wheels scraped and turn, its cut-outs meshing perfectly with a miniature version of itself. White smoke would puff out every now and then, clouding his vision from up above whilst he observed through the large transparent flooring. A Nobody had just let them know that they'd be leaving the airship shortly and beckoned them towards the exposed deck. Heading off with a misbehaving little robot in hand, Lesley eagerly followed the crowd flowing out onto the ship's outer board.

The weeks of vacation flew by like a breeze, like they always say, 'Time flies by when you're having fun,' and with all the crazy bonding time he spent with his friends, it sure did. He was glad to have strengthened connections with his fellow humans and guides. Apart from relationship building, he also had plenty of hours "on hand" to adjust to his new prosthetic. It had become a part of him almost. By now, he had become so accustomed to the thing that it felt like he never lost a limb at all. The haunting image of its loss now escaped his mind and a dreadful sensation would not wash over him any more whenever he laid eyes on it. For this, he was granted a renewed positivity in the future of this wild adventure.

[b]Riley:[/b] "Lesley You need to paint this...this is beautiful."

Lesley could hear the sniffles in between her words and he wrapped an arm around her dearingly, taking in the details of every scene, trying his best to suck up the view as whole for future works of art. She then moved on the inquire Ran about his sketchbook while Toby jumped in with his own 'camera' holding out his squared fingers along with his out "clicking" noises. Giggling, Lesley pretended to have a 'finger-camera' too, flicking his tongue to audibly confirm each shot. Reaching over, the man ruffled the boy's hair with a light chuckle. Slowly but surely, Lesley was starting to feel out his position in the group as the "mother" while Ran took up the humble dub of "Gramps". As he thought about the newbie, it seemed to subliminally signal Ran to come over and Lesley gave him a gentle touch to the backside with a warm smile. Both of them grinned as boy on a hoverboard flew by to give Ran his hat back. Then all of a sudden, Riley was shaking him back in forth as she exclaimed about the passing citizen of Cogs.

"Yes! I know, this place is like," Lesley paused in his struggle for an appropriate word, "It's CRAZY!"

Turning around to face the commotion, Lesley hooted and hollered along with everybody else as Inadi gracefully performed a solo with his weapon. No wonder the frame-faced fella was always out of sight, he had been practicing all along. The pink haired man clapped to show how impressed he felt. At least he would come in handy if anymore battles came along. Another thing about his first romantic interest was that Inadi was now taken, by no other than Jasper. Lesley wasn't going to lie, he was a lil' bit jealous, but he had played the fairy god mother after all, bringing the two together. Right on cue, Jasper approached them and teased Ran on taking the stage following Inadi.

Tilting his head thoughtfully, Lesley urged Ran on, taking Grampy's belongings into his arms to allow Ran freedom of movement. Pinching his lips into his mouth, he almost burst out in a surprised cry as Ran began to sing. The man sounded absolutely amazing, his voice deep and sonorous. Not only was the singing great, but the dance moves that went along with it were spot on. Talk about entertainment, he was like Michael Jackson incarnate! In no time, they had all joined in and started dancing too, the whole deck was having their own little music video.

"Now those moves are impressive. We've reached the port, guys. You'll be jumping off the ship, so put these on. They're really simple to use and I'll be heading down with you, so don't worry."

Though the Nobody looked rather surprised to walk into a "club", he then proceeded to give the humans their very own parachutes before throwing himself off the ship to demonstrate how its done. Lesley shuffled and tapped his toes in excitement. "Ohhh! I've always wanted to try this!" Slipping into his own safety gear, Lesley helped Ran put his things back on. "Come on Ran, let's go together!" If the guy had hesitated or protested at all, Lesley had been to riled up to hear it because he was already yanking the man towards the railings as well. Most of the others had already sailed off and were nothing but ballooning, mushroom-like circles below. Holding Ran's hands within his own, "Ok... on the count of three." Lesley braced himself, gripping Ran's hands to tone down his own anxiety. "1, 2.....3!" Tugging his partner's hands as he leapt off the balcony, he was laughing on the way down, allowing Ran to fly freely as their hold unclasped. "I'm flyingggg!!!" He could feel his mouth flapping in the surge of wind. Each second he neared the ground, Lesley almost forgot to pull the string in his euphoric daze, but luckily he did and the ride halted to a peaceful float to the bottom.
