LIzzy grinned as she danced into the Starbucks. She was so excited that there was a Starbucks near by. She danced her way to the counter not caring what people thought of her. Looking up at the menu she smile and looked at the barista, "A vanilla latte please with that foamy stuff on top, large please, I'm Izzy" Licking her lips Lizzy grinned and paid for her drink.

Moving to sit down she smiled and waited for her drink playing with her hair, humming to herself.

Benjiman walked into Starbucks after a bouning girl, he hadn't heard what she orderd he was in a world of his own but the cashiers voice brought him back to reality. "Yes, I would like a large vanilla latte with whip cream please. My name is Ben." He said as he paied for his drink and went to go wait for it at the other end. Ben heard them call out a vanilla latte for a Izzy, he thought that they had gotten it wrong until he saw a bouncing girl playing with her hair. She looks like an Izzy. He thought to himself wondering if she had heard them call for her.

Smiling Lizzy heard her name being called. Jumping up she danced her way over and grabbed her drink. She looked up as the barista called Ben. Looking around she looking off into space. Tilting her head to the side she grinned and danced her way over without spilling her coffee. Sitting down she tapped his shoulder.

Ben watched as the bouning girl named Izzy came his way and tapped his shoulder. "Yes?" He asked in a kind voice as his southern accent came out. He hoped that he wasn't in her way or anything like that, but in case he was he took a step to the left making sure that he wasn't in anyone elses way.

Smiling Lizzy asked "Your Ben right?" Her British accent noticeable. She took a sip of her coffee and grinned in delight. She set her coffee down on the counter besides her and held out her hand, "I'm Lizzy"

"Yes I am...how'd ya' know my name?" He asked as he took her hand shaking it. "Nice ta' meet cha' Lizzy." Ben said letting go of her hand as he heard them call out his name, turning around he grabbed his coffee and took a sip of it sighing in delight.

"They just called your name, love" She said and picked up her coffee to drink it again. She knew her accent may make it hard to understand her but she smiled anyway. Taking another drink Lizzy grinned.

"Thank ya' little lady." He knew that he may not have been that much older than Lizzy, but that's how he was. Not like he didn't try to change it....okay maybe he didn't try to change it. Picking up his drink it finally hit him. "Ya'll aint from 'round heere, are ya' little lady?" He asked.

Smiling Lizzy nodded "I'm from London, love. I came across the pond some time ago." Shrugging she didn't even think about the slang she was using. "You aren't from this side of the country are you? Your accent gets to me. Where are you from?" Shrugging she tried to think of where she heard his accent before.

Ben nodded in awe hearing that she was from London."London, well little lady what are ya' doin' all the way out here?" He asked. "Nope, I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Been there up 'til last yeear, so little lady just like ya' are born with that right theere accent. I was born with a southern one." Ben explained as he took a long drink of his beloved coffee.

Laughing she grinned and drank more of her amazing coffee, "My parents got buggered with each other and divorced. My dad brought me to America and when I got introuble at my last school the headmistress told my dad about here. And bob's your uncle" Shrugging she smiled then gasped, "Oh I'm sorry. I'm such a nimrod. I forgot you Americans said things differently. Um if I say anything odd, please let me know. I don't want to confuse you."

"I have an Uncle called Bob." He smiled as he walked across the room. "Ben is it?" He asked the boy as he took a seat. "I'm sure you've met this little bundle of fur." He smiled as he kissed Lizzy's cheek.

Smiling at Alex she laughed "it means and there you have it. Oh I have you pack and journal in my room. Kat said something about you leaving it somewhere." Looking back at Ben she grinned and drank more of her coffee.

"Oh, okay well welcome to America Lizzy 'nd it's fine I'm one for odd.." Ben said as he saw another person coming their direction. "Yes, that's me. Yer Alex....ya' look familiar, have we met befor'?" Ben asked trying to put his finger on where he last saw Alex. "Ah yes. I take it ya'll are an item." He bluntly said not holding back anything now that he felt more comforterble with another person around.

"Aren't we like....room mates or something?" He chuckled. "Run that by me again Lizzy. What did I lose? Whatever it was I've been looking for it I assure you." He chuckled.

"Right, sorry 'bout that roomy. I've been runnin' 'round this academy like a hog with it's tail cut off." Ben said with a light smile as he nodded to let Alex know he knew what he was talking about.

Pouting slightly at Alex she sighed and tried again thinking in American terms, "Um.. you pack.... OH Backpack and journal... or something like it. I'm not so sure. Kat said you left it somewhere and grabbed it to give back to you." Shrugging and drinking more coffee she looked at Ben, "An Item?.... what is that?.....Hm... Oh you mean my boyfriend. Yes we're together." She grinned at remembering what it meant.

"Little lady ya' sure are good with yer english." Ben complimented her, where as most people from over seas have an issue with the American slang. "I wish ya'll the best of luck for the future." Be said as he raised his coffee as though he was toasting.

Smiling she raised her coffee in the air and hide a giggle. "Well Thank you, It took me a while and I'm still learning." She drank her coffee and leaned back in her chair. "So what do you do at Stellar?" she was rather curious about Ben and put her coffee back on the table.

She balanced the chair on its two back legs and smiled.

"Bet you anything he's a Soccer player. Most boys are now a days." He whispered in Lizzy's ear.

Jumping and blushing she fell backwards and cartwheeled into a standing position. Going over and picking up her chair she waved everyone in the store away and sat back down. "Really, I do believe Lucas doesn't, babe." She drank more of her coffee and acted like falling backwards was an everyday thing... it was.

"I assure you he does." He laughed.

Ben watched the couple with a laugh. And then watched Lizzy in shock as she came to sit back down, but seeing as how Alex didn't look worreid about it Ben just drank his coffe. "I aint no soccer play just a musican." Ben said answering Lizzy question. "But I do love a good game ev'ry now and then." He said reasuring them both that he would be up for a friendly game.

Smirking at Alex and laughed "Ha. Told you so" She sang out. She laughed at Ben's face when she walked back over, "Don't worry Ben. I got back up. I fall all the time. When I don't get back up worry," Shrugging she grinned and drank more of her coffee.

"Right, I'll keep dat in mind." Ben said around the lid of his cup as he drank more of his coffee with a mental smile.
