A Match Made In Hell (Mia)

[Mia Bell]

Mia rolled her eyes, a little jealous that he was having a lot more fun than she was, then again she really wasn’t trying either. How could she, when they kept fighting? Then again, she wasn’t trying not to fight with him either. She took a deep breath, as she closed her eyes, trying to forget that she actually did hate this guy, for pretty good reasons.


Mia raised an eyebrow at being called pinkie pie, which was probably something he had not wanted to say in front of Oriel, but it didn’t seem like he knew what he had just said. “Someone apparently watches my little pony. I didn’t think you were the type to.” She smirked, shaking her head, she thought she was way more like Twilight Sparkle anyways, though if she said that she would be egotistical, and that was the last thing she was. “Oak leaves. I think I saw some that way.” She pointed in a direction where she remembered seeing them when hanging out with Rain. She only knew because the younger girl had pointed them out.

She got to the few trees that she remembered were oak trees. They were near a ravine, but she didn’t think anything of it. One of the trees that she decided to get the leaf from was a lot closer to the edge than she would have ever thought. ”See! I was right, I’m glad I remembered.” She didn’t realize this till it was too late. She stretched to reach a least a few leaves, being five foot and two inches, was a very bad weakness sometimes. She had to stand on her tippy toes, she was able to grab a handful of leaves, but as she relaxed she side stepped, and in doing so her foot met the edge of the ravine. She slipped and fell down the ravine. She hit the bottom of the ravine with a thud, and a very loud and painful scream that had escaped her lips. She had fallen on her leg a very wrong way, and heard a crack before she had screamed. Tears found their way onto her cheeks, tears of pain. She had never broken any of her bones before, so this was a first, and not a first she liked either.

No, Oriel had not forgotten that he didn't like a single pink hair on this girl's head, much less anything else about her including that force-feeding personality of hers, but he was also a terribly simple minded boy at times and those who truly knew him knew that his mood had a tendency to change at the drop of a hat depending on what he was doing.

"Yeah, I seen it a couple times. Got a problem with that?" More than a couple of times actually. Oriel liked the music. Even if it was cheesy as hell.

"Oak leaves, huh?" Now that's something he wouldn't know how to identify. To him, there was only "leaf" and nothing more. Though he had no doubt that he could probably learn the differences if he put his mind to it.

Oriel followed Mia, nodding as he made note of what an oak tree was supposed to look like, getting up close and personal with it and being absolutely delighted with how climbable it looked. Which was probably why he didn't notice until it was too late. He heard the sound of her losing her footing and when he turned to look, Mia had completely disappeared. Then there was the scream. "Oy! M--" He started to call out, but stopped. He really didn't want to use her real name but… "Mia!" He scampered over to where she'd been standing before and peered down through the brush to see her pink head far below at the bottom of a fairly steep incline. "You alive?" He meant it as a joke(a bad one), but soon after realized he probably shouldn't have said it. Despite his apathetic attitude, Oriel actually was reasonably concerned.

[Mia Bell]

My little pony had always been a favorite show for Mia, even though the newest show was her favoritest out of the my little pony shows. “Nope, it’s actually one of my favorite shows. I just didn’t expect someone like you to like it.” Judging? Maybe… But that wasn’t something that could have been helped either.

Mia wanted to cuss him out right now for being sarcastic. She probably looked so pathetic lying on the ground crying because she most likely broke her leg. “You really are an asshole…” She mumbled, nothing he would be able to hear from the top of the ravine. “Yeah, I’m alive, thanks for asking!” She yelled this time, her voice shakey though. She felt like she was going to throw up… The pain in her leg felt like it was numbing out, but she still didn’t feel right, and that unsettled Mia. She fully expected Oriel to just walk away and leave her. Why should he stay? He hated her, and she hated him… not that Mia would have left him… But she wasn’t worth helping.. She wasn’t worth anything in her opinion. Right now though, she just didn’t know what else to say to Oriel. So she just stayed still sobbing pathetically.

[Deleted]

"Oh, is that sooo?" Oriel humphed as they walked. "Bet I could surprise you with a lot of things about me…" he hopped in front of Mia and leaned down, sticking his face in hers with a sneer. "Princess Bubblegum." He stuck out his tongue in jest, backing away lest she decide to smack him.

Oriel did not hear Mia's curses towards him, though if he could, he probably wouldn't have cared much. Calling an asshole an asshole kind of an expected thing. "Good!" Wow, that was a heck of a fall. And she didn't seem to be getting up….fuck fuck fuck. Did that mean Oriel had to go down and get her? Well, it was a pretty steep ravine, she would have trouble climbing up on her own, especially if she twisted something.

"I'm coming down! Just stay right there!" Oriel sighed and looked down the steep, negotiating a plan of action. Then he jumped and practically skid down through the dirt, the soil kicking up as his shoes ground over it. It wasn't long before he landed at the bottom. Though, when Oriel looked at Mia, he wasn't expecting to see her looking so much in pain. "Hey, what? Are you crying? Stop that!" Did she really break something?

[Mia Bell]

“And I bet I could surprise you just as much.” She raised an eyebrow, daring him to find out more about her. He would be surprised, like everyone else. Though they were opposites, Oriel was an ass who when you got to know him he became a regular human being, a niceish person. Mia, she was cheerful, and friendly, but when you got too close, you saw the dark pit she dug and made it her home. “How many ‘nicknames’ are you going to come up with for me?”

If she was going to have trouble climbing it herself, how was he going to help her get up, and get up himself? This didn’t seem like something he had put much thought into. “Trust me I’m not going anywhere. But do you really think it’s a good idea for you to come down here too?” Too late, he was already down. She rolled her eyes, now how were they both suppose to get out? He should have just gone to get help… “Yes I’m crying!” She said the gritted teeth. “You try breaking your fucking leg and tell me it doesn’t hurt!” These were tears of pain, and she didn’t know if she could even stop them. Though as she saw the dark clouds she knew she was going to have to at least try to calm down.


“Since you are so brilliant, how are you going to get out of here?” She said as she closed her eyes to try to relax herself.

[Deleted]

"Hmph," Oriel shrugged. "I ain't the betting kind, but you're welcome to try." Orel sent out the challenge anyway, wondering what she thought she could come up with. Of course, Oriel had every intention of pretending like anything she threw at him was nothing, which it probably was. "As many as I damn well please!" At least until he found one that stuck.

Ooo...nope she did not look happy. And why the hell did girls always have to cry about the littlest things, it probably didn't even hurt that much! "Would you rather I leave you here all by yourself, Miss Cotton Candy?" Because that was safe, obviously.

Actually, it probably was the better choice, but Oriel was a stubborn mule and wanted to be macho. "It ain't really broken, is it?" Oriel kneeled in to get a closer look. He'd never sprained, much less broken a limb before, so he honestly wouldn't know.

Though honestly, it did not look good. "Alright, Pixie Stix, we got three options here." He held up three fingers. "1. I carry you back to camp; Piggy back or Princess style. 2. You sit tight while I go get someone. What'll it be?"

[Mia Bell]

Mia smirked, she could have surprised him right there and then. Telling him all her dirty secrets… but she didn’t think he deserved to know about them.. nor did she trust him not to tell anyone about them. “You remind me of a pitbull, Fuzzy.” Her gab at trying to give him a nickname, Fuzzy is what she thought of because of his hair. Considering he kept making jabs at her hair…

“Ohhh good nickname.. I haven’t heard that one before.” She said in a snarky tone, she was really tired of people calling her cotton candy… It was so over rated. At least Pinkie Pie had SOME thought to it. Little? Little??? He calls falling down a ravine, and possibly breaking her leg little?

“It feels broken.. and I heard a loud snap..” She never broken anything either, so she really wouldn’t know what breaking anything would feel like, though it hurt really bad.


“I think you mean to say option two is three. That or you left out an option…” She rolled her eyes, why was she even dealing with this… “I rather you not touch my butt, and I think princess style would be too dangerous… So go fetch someone.”

[Deleted]

Oriel couldn't fathom what kind of secrets Mia might have for him, but if Xavier was any indication(not that she'd know) Oriel wasn't one who spilled secrets at the drop of a hat. And he likely had an equal amount himself that she probably never even considered. Which was just as well and expected, the two of them had never really had an actual conversation with each other outside of that little screaming match they had a few months ago. Which was obviously not the best way to give out first impressions.

At least now that they'd had a chance to dispel the tension between them, they might be able to try again. After all, Oriel didn't really hate her….or if he did, he at least knew it was irrational and he didn't actually have a reason for it. "Pitbull? You mean them dogs?" He made a playfully disgusted face, showing that he obviously disliked the comparison. "Nah, I'm more like a lion." He shook his "mane" and rolled out a growl.

So she heard a snap? That….probably wasn't good. "Aww, details details. And what butt exactly are you talking about?" Oriel gave Mia a queer look, as if he didn't know what she was talking about. But she was right, it probably would be too dangerous for him to carry her. "…..Alright, then. I'll go grab…someone, probably Dr. Sean. Or someone. You just….sit tight," He rose and held his hands out tentatively. "And don't go anywhere." With a deep breath, he turned and started to scale the ravine wall again.

[Mia Bell]

Mia felt a really strong dislike for Oriel, for many reasons… She thought they were all valid, if they weren’t than she really didn’t care. But she was more of an open minded person than people thought she was. She forgave easily, though forgetting his words would be harder for her to do… “Yeah the dog.” That was more of a compliment than he thought.. “Lions? Why because you think they’re the ‘king of the jungle’” At least pitbull had theory behind it..


She took a deep breath, another stab at her looks… How depressing, one more thing for her to be insecure about… Was she really that unattractive? She didn’t say anything about it, just looked at her leg. “Fine.” She would prefer Dr. Neville more than any other staff, though a nurse or doctor would be nice too. She watched him walk away. As he started to climb the ravine she started to feel lonely in the pit of her stomach. “Wait!” She yelled before she could stop herself.. She did not like being alone in the woods, at least not this deep.. “I don’t want to be alone… Please stay..”

[Deleted]

However, it was definitely true that Mia probably had a lot more valid reasons to hate Oriel than Oriel had to hate Mia. He would never deny it; Oriel was an ass, and he didn't plan on changing anytime soon. But he wasn't just an ass, and those who managed to get close to him actually got to see that. "Actually, no. Believe i or not, I actually do have friends, and that's what they came up with." Which was why he kept it and encouraged it. The comparison tickled him.

But of course, now that it'd been brought up he was feeling silly and couldn't help what happened next.

Oriel snickered as a smile crept over his lips, and he crossed in front of Mia as he sang, "I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!" Yes, he totally expected her to pick it up and continue with the next line.


Oriel was a self-proclaimed expert climber, he'd spent more times in the trees on this damned camping trip than anywhere else, and it surprisingly reminded him of home, in the concrete jungle of New York. He was even certain that he could climb with her on his back if she just held on tight enough….but that was still risky. He had just as much confidence in his ability to run and get where he wanted to quickly, so Mia wouldn't have to wait long but…

"Huh?" Oriel had barely even started when Mia called him back, even going as far to say 'please'. He sighed and slid back down, brushing his hand across the back of his neck pensively. He really was a sucker for the pathetic, he hated that it even made this headstrong little girl so fucking adorable. "Alright….well, what do you want me to do?" Maybe they could call someone?

[Mia Bell]

She knew that he seemed to be more than an ass, which is why he reminded her of a pitbull, because they were misunderstood, and because people made them into fighting dogs… It was sad really. “I never said you didn’t.” Everyone had at least one friend, though all of hers seemed to have vanished…

Look what she started… If she had a guitar with her she would have been playing it. Lion king was her favorite movie, and he defiantly got points for knowing the songs. ” Well, I've never seen a king of beasts, With quite so little hair” She smirked, he really didn’t have little hair, but eh, it was the song.



“I… I don’t know, I just don’t want to be alone…” She couldn’t move… what would happen if someone not so friendly, or something found her? Like a puma, or something! She didn’t want to be eatin.. Or a bear… She didn’t want to be alone… “Where’s my bag?” She just noticed it was not on her….

[Deleted]

And Mia had just earned some points with Oriel, for humoring him on his silliness. He did a sort of dance as he walked backwards in front of her, shaking his hair dashingly into his face as he grinned behind it. "I'm gonna be the mane event, like no king was before. I'm brushing up on looking down, I'm working on my roar!" And he rolled out another growl.


"Your bag? Fuuck……" he mumbled as he stood again and swiveled his head around the area looking for it. After a moment he finally spotted it hooked on a root sticking out of the wall of the ravine. "Hold on a sec, I'll be right back," he assured her. Within moments, Oriel had climbed up, grabbed the bag, and then back down, kneeling down in front of Mia and holding it out to her. "Ta-da~!" he said weakly.

[Mia Bell]

Mia chuckled and shook his head, interesting how the boy before him can changed his mood so quickly. ” Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing”She rolled her eyes to play along with her part in the song.


She looked around for her bag, but with her eyes blurry, and the headache that she now had from crying she couldn’t really focus on finding it. She smiled at Oriel when he came back with her bag. “Thank you” She grabbed her bag, opening it and making sure she didn’t lose anything. Before she asked Oriel what they should do now, she took out her cell phone and looked to see if she got a signal. Her phone was nothing fancy; it was just a pretty old touch screen with a full keyboard. It wasn’t like it was an Iphone, or blackberry.

She looked at how many bars she had, she had none. “Damn it.. No signal..” She put her phone away with a sigh, and then looked at Oriel. “Now what?” She already knew she wasn’t going to like the answer.

[Deleted]

"Oh, I just can't wait to be kiiing!" Oriel grinned brightly and mischievously, as if he really was a baby lion, cackling like the kid he was. At least the mood had lightened, that made it easier for Oriel to avoid being grumpy and pissy.

As much fun(if it could be called that) that they were having before, and as much as he had been teasing her just now, Oriel had quickly switched into burning asshole mode right into serious mode. Surprised? Yes he has one. He waited and watched as Mia pulled out her phone to find the signal dead. Oriel reached back and pulled out his own crappy flip phone. Also dead. Well, if her's didn't work, then of course Oriel's wouldn't.

He hummed pensively as he went over the options in his head. "Um….I can….try to get to higher ground and see if that gets me a signal. But that'd be leaving you here. Otherwise…" he let the word hang in the air a moment before saying, "piggyback," he finished, raising his eyebrows high. He shrugged, unbuttoning his shirt revealing just a simple plain white t-shirt underneath. "We can use this as a sling to hold you up, keep my hands free 'n all." Oriel looked her over, "This is a fucking bad idea..." he grumbled. If he dropped Mia while he was trying to climb….

[Mia Bell]

“I’m not singing the next line..” That was a no go.. it was so not happening, because there was no way even in song she was going to call Oriel ‘master’.

She shook her head, “I don’t think it’s the higher ground that’s the problem. We are pretty deep into the woods…” She doubted there was a phone signal out here, anywhere. Then again she didn’t really know how phone signals worked either. “Piggyback..” She grumbled, and looked at how steep the ravine was. “Would you be able to climb us out of here?” She sighed, “Signing up for the scavenger hunt was a bad idea…” She shook her head, “We might as well try.. I doubt we can just sit here till someone finds us.” Because, she doubted anyone would…
