Ara was taken back by the sudden enthusiastic-ness of the girl. After all, she was in her writing spree. Ideas were pouring out of her head and she was writing very fast too. She was even surprised on how her handwriting was still neat. She blinked and moved a bit by surprise. "You can sit there I guess. I don't own it or anything...yes I'm writing...I like reading as well" Ara said monotonously with a straight face while getting back to writing. She wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible for she was writing.

'How in the bloody hell can someone be that energetic after class? I want to crumple up in my bed and think. The reason why I'm at the courtyard is that I just wanted to be a bit more productive and pay more attention to this novel. At least I'm about halfway done with it.' She thought.

Ara has 2 notebooks. Both are solely purposed for the book she's writing. One is absolutely filled with notes, world rules, storyboarding, character profiles, etc. The other is the actual story. The notebooks are almost full though, Ara plans to buy 2 more soon.

Because of the sudden interruption, her writing spree ended. All the ideas that she had, just disinigrated with no remains 'Arghhh! What was I supposed to put after this again? What was he supposed to do?' She was having a breakdown in her head but her face stayed rock solid but it looked a bit more pissed than normal though. Her relaxed face always looked angry or pissed but now it looked even more pissed somehow.

I was glad when she said I could sit here, though I could tell she was a bit frustrated. “Cool!” I replied, “I’m assuming you're going to want to keep writing so don’t mind me I’ll just be staring at the beautiful view.”
She began to start writing but seemed to be stuck. As she wasn’t writing now I asked, “You know, I rarely see anyone writing around here. A lot of people love to read but writing, not so much. It’s nice to see another person who also likes to write. Not that I ever really write, I’m a little too impatient… Anyways, you can continue writing!”
I knew that by now she probably wasn’t going to be in the mood to write as much. Oops… A bit unintentional but a bit intentional too… I did want to see if we could be friends but maybe I had started that off the wrong way… I hoped that she would give me another chance.
While I loved writing, I never had the patience to write a book. The only book I had ever written was a 17 page long book when I was around 7 years old about cats flying broomsticks instead of witches and wizards. This was only because my dad had just brought home a new computer and I had wanted to try it out. At that time, I had thought computers were the most fascinating thing in the entire world.
Now I was currently thinking about my family. I wondered what they were doing. I wondered if they had enjoyed the Courtyard as much as I was right now. So far I thought that the Courtyard was amazing. Stunning. Beautiful. Utterly unimaginably breathtaking. And I gazed at the view wondering if this girl who’s name I was yet to find out would actually talk to me.

Ara continued writing as the girl kept speaking. 'Finally another writer' she thought, "Uhm...hey so do you have any male character names? I haven't got any" the ravenette asked the girl. Ara just realized she doesn't know the other girl's name so she should probably ask for it later. 'The girl looks like she's thinking about something, about....flying cats?' she wondered, confused on why the girl was thinking about that, maybe it was a story idea? She has yet to ask.

Ara can see that she was enjoying the courtyard. The girl is easy to read. The young Slytherin was waiting for a response, she needed a name for one of her characters even though he was gonna die later, he needs a name. The character was going to be the general of the kingdom the main character has allied with. He was going to have a very scary appearance but a very gentle and kind personality. He is going to be the don't judge a book by its cover character. Ara was already filled with ideas on how sad his death is going to be. It's going to be emotional. She wanted to add him for character development and a feeling of loss and revenge for the main character. So that he will want to defeat the antagonist more with the rage he's feeling.

Ara wanted to so that the antagonist would see the bloodlust in the protagonist's eyes and maybe the supporting character will have to stop him from taking it too far. The ravenette almost forgot that the main trio of the book are 12 but it was a fantasy world so she can do whatever she wants...kind of.

I finished talking and there was a bit of silence. Then the girl said, “Uhm...hey so do you have any male character names? I haven't got any.”
I thought for a moment. “Well it depends on what this male does. I’ve always wanted to name one of my characters in a book Kane. I don’t know why but it means warrior in Celtic and golden or beautiful in Japanese and Welsh. Would that work?”
I paused for a moment letting that soak in, still admiring the view. The girl sitting next to me was still writing furiously. Not as hard as she was before. I still needed to ask this girl what her name was! Is it rude to ask a question right after a question? Well I’ll do it anyway!
“Hey by the way what’s your name? Mine’s Reyna Evergreen! I said it before but I’ll say it again! Also just as a question, what do you happen to be writing about?”
As I waited for a response I thought about the book ideas I had. This courtyard gave me inspiration to think. Maybe with another writer to encourage me, I can actually start writing a book! That would be nice! I started to think of plot lines. I had many ideas, just none fully developed and none that sparked so much interest right now.
I would have to write some ideas down in my notebook. So I proceeded to get a notebook out of the bag that was next to me on the bench. I also brought out a pen as I still waited for the response.

"Oh thanks..." Ara thanked the girl for the names. "Yea I know, we met at the library remember? If you can't remember my name is Ara Villa. The book I'm writing is just an adventure novel, kind of like Lord of the Rings." The ravenette was still looking down, writing in her story notes notebook. She knew Reyna from that night at the library. She just wondered if she recognized her and remembered. After Reyna's name suggestion of the name 'Kane' Ara made the new character, General Kane Williams. He has light brown hair and a grey eyes, maybe late twenties? The ravenette was already writing down in her story notes notebook some ideas for his by character and his entrance. Its fun to make a new character.

Ara noticed that Reyna was getting a notebook and pen. "What are you going to write?" She said while her eyes are still on her own notebook. The girl is now writing a small character profile for Kane Williams. His personality, backstory, appearance, and some more information is on it. Ara is now halfway done with it, she flipped to a page near the front and wrote the page number and put 'General Kane Williams' next to it like those Table of Contents things on books. Ara now sat cross legged on the bench, it was more comfortable anyways.

Ara said her name and it rang a bell. Right… she was the one of the people I met in the library!!! How could I not recognize her? I hoped she didn’t think that was rude…
She also explained that her book was kind of like Lord of the Rings, an adventure novel. I nodded my head. I remembered reading Lord of the Rings. It was a good book but I did remember that the book was quite long.
“How long is your book going to be?” I asked.
As I laid my pen and notebook on my lap, Ara asked, “What are you going to write?”
That was a good question. I didn’t really know. I probably was going to look through the ideas that I kept in my notebook and then see if I felt inspired at all. The answer was probably yes I was inspired but no I wasn’t going to write anything. But I did have to try right? And Ara had given me inspiration. Hmmm… Maybe I can write something.
I realized that it was probably rude to wait a long time before answering her question so I decided to answer it truthfully.
“I’m not exactly sure but I’m going to look through some ideas that I have and see which ones spark some inspiration. Then maybe, I’ll have the motivation to write something. Usually, I just end up doodling but… it doesn’t hurt to try!” I replied.
I hoped that Ara liked that answer. But it was the truth so what else could I say.

Reyna asked Ara how long was her book going to be, she paused for a moment in thought. "I don't really know, most people don't write a book with an idea to finish or know how long it'll be" the ravenette replies to the question with a softer voice. Ara continued to write in her story boarding notebook.

When she heard that Reyna wasn't sure what to write yet, she was now flipping through the pages of the notebook, trying to find the right page. 'No...no...no...not it...aha, here it is' she stopped at the page. It was her story ideas section where she puts her random story ideas she comes up with. The section was 3 pages long, almost filled all the way with ideas. Ara got Reyna's attention and showed the pages. "Hey Reyna here are some ideas I wrote down, new and old" The ravenette made Reyna hold the notebook for a bit so that she can read the ideas. Ara couldn't really tell if she was reading or not though. She has put her ideas in those pages for a few months now so those 3 pages have a lot of ideas, with explanation and no explanations.

"You can get ideas or inspiration from those pages, I don't really mind." Ara tells l other girl. There were many ideas there so it wouldn't hurt if she took one or got inspiration from a few.

Ara said that she didn’t know how long her book was going to be. That made sense because you never really planned those things out.
Just then, Ara started frantically flipping through the notebook. I watched as she did so. Finally she arrived at a section titled, Story Ideas.
I nodded my head. She passed it over to me. I started to scan the page. It was 3 pages long with so many ideas scattered everywhere.
"Hey Reyna, here are some ideas I wrote down, new and old," Ara said. I smiled. That was really kind of her!!
"You can get ideas or inspiration from those pages, I don't really mind." she added.
I began to scan the pages with a smile on my face. The first section had ideas that were probably for the story she was currently writing. The second section had a lot of new ideas but had a whole plot for a story. The third section just had random ideas of inspiration to add into a story. I decided to scan the third section first.
One idea caught my eye. A magical portal tree — a girl comes out of a tree and creates a portal which sucks up someone else.
I remembered an idea in my story ideas page which had something similar. Now I was looking through 2 notebooks at the same time. Once I finally found the right page, I read the description. This page was titled ‘Born from the Earth’ about a girl who was well, born from the earth. I had stopped this book because I didn’t know what to do after the main character got letters from a magical person.
Now I knew what I could do. The magical person could end up being a girl who lives in a tree who creates a portal which sucks up others!!
That was a bit complicated but at least I had some idea. Maybe I will write something… Maybe I’m gaining some inspiration.
“Thanks!” I replied to Ara, “Do you mind if I use one of your ideas to add on to one of my existing stories that I’ve started?”
I just wanted to ask again to make sure. After all, I didn’t want to ruin this because I didn’t ask for permission. But I sure hoped that she would say yes because then maybe I could actually write something solid.

"Its ok...Thats why I have many ideas" Ara said in reply to Reyna sating if she can use one of her ideas. "My story is about a girl from the present going to a universe where there's a war between magical creatures like fairies, mermaids, and elves because the elemental crystals were stolen and lost. Then she finds out she took the body of an elf and she needs to find the lost crystals to save the world. Then the plot twist is that when they bring those crystals back to save the world, the one that made them get it actually wanted them to get them for him so that he can have the power of the world. Then of course at the end they take his army down and actually save the world with the crystals" She explains her book. 'Thats THE longest paragraph I said in my entire existence' the girl thought.

Ara is currently in the 32nd chapter of it. The characters are in a volcano to get the fire crystal. "I'm glad if you got some inspiration from my ideas. I honestly think some of them are stupid and not logical but it's the beauty of fantasy." Ara says as she looks at the fountain. The wind blew in the hair beautifully. It was like a main character moment or something.

The ravenette took a deep breath, "Do you think I should add a dragon guardian?" She says out of nowhere. 'I'm considering a dragon as a challenge for the characters to get the fire crystal...maybe the purest intensions will be the only ones that can get it or something...?' she thought.
