Lilly let out a sigh of relief, hoping Peter didn't recognize it meant she was happy that Ryan had finally left.

Peter looked sideways at her, "What was that for?" he asked darkly.
"What was what for?" she asked, smiling nervously.
"I heard the sigh, I'm not stupid." he said.
"Fine. I don't know why, I just didn't seem to like her very much." Lillian admitted.
((OoO))
((Sorry Devie! ;b ))
Peter snorted in short laughter. "Oh, really? I thought you of all people would like her." he said.
"I guess I'm just not as easy to read as you think I am then." she pointed out.
Lillian sighed and laid down on her back, staring up at the sky. "You know," she spoke softly, "I know that I have a true purpose now, but it doesn't really feel like it."
Peter looked down at her, a confused looked crossing his face. "What?"
She didn't look at him, she just kept staring up at the sky. "I was sent down here with no purpose in particular. Now that I'm a guardian angel though, I have a purpose but... But I still feel kinda lost." she took a sad sigh, "But I guess can't ask you to understand..."
"No you can't..." he trailed off. "Everyone gets lost. I know the feeling..." he held out his hand for her.
She stared at his hand for a moment, before taking it.
Peter pulled her to his feet, then let their hands drop.
Lilly sighed and stood there. She didn't know what to say to Peter. What do you say to someone who you'll spend the rest of their life with, but they don't even like you? Could she even consider him a friend? Thinking of all this was very depressing to her, and she let it show on her face- not caring if he'd notice or not.He probably wouldn't...
Peter frowned at he expression. He sighed and pulled her into a loose hug.
She gasped in surprise, but still quick to hug back. A hug? From him? Was she dreaming? She discreetly pinched herself to check. Yep! she thought as she felt it This is real! She couldn't help but smile at him."Thank you." she said softly, "I needed that."
Peter closed his eyes, patting her back. "Well, I guess if ya need more. I'll be here... For obviose reasons." he chuckeled before pulling away.
Her eyes widened and her smile grew. "Really?" she squealed excitedly, "That's fantastic! Thank you thank you!" she laughed happily.
Peter smiled slightly, nodding. "Hey, can I... Ask ya something?" he asked, running a hand through his hair.
"Yeah! Ask me anything." she nodded enthusiastically.
"Well, you've been to heaven, right?" he asked, although that wadnt his actual question.
"I'm from Heaven." she corrected cheerily.
"Well... why are you on earth in the first place?" he asked.
"Because, all angels have a certain job to do. I was just one of the many many angels who were sent with a job on Earth. Maybe in a long long number of years I'll be pulled back up to Heaven, but for now I'm doing my duty." she explained.
"Were you meant to be a guardian?" he asked, sticking his hands into his pockets and pressed his lips lightly together.
"I don't know." she sighed, biting her lip.
Peter left his head a bit tilted as he breathed in and shrugged, letting it out. "Okay."
"Why?" she asked, looking at him through her big blue eyes.
Peter shrugged, "Just wondering." he said. "I dont have to have a reason do I?"
"Just wondering." she repeated.
Peter looked at her and sighed, "Okay, this is totally boring," he muttered.
She grinned widely at him. "You wanna go flying again? I could take you somewhere!"
"Somewhere like where?" he said, eyeing her as he took a short steph back. Fearing the thoughts of his feet leaving the ground again.
"Anywhere." she said, unfurling her big glowing white wings.
"You have to tell me, otherwise I'm not going..." he said.
She rolled her eyes. "You're so stubborn." she sighed, running and swooping him up into the air, "I thought we might go to some cool place filled with wildlife, or something like that."
Peter watched her a minute, trying to decide if it was worth the fear. "Sure." he said slowly.
Lilly flew up high, but not high enough for him to get too cold or loose oxygen. She also flew fast enough to reach a nearby meadow in less then 10 minutes, but not fast enough to endanger her "passenger"."Alrighty!" she said when they finally reached their destination, setting him on the ground, "Hey, you didn't freak out that time! Good job!"
Peter rolled his eyes, growing a bit. "Yeagh, wo-who"
Lillian tucked in her wings, wearing a proud smile. "I told you I would help you get over your fear!" she said happily, skipping around the tall flowers.
Peter watched her, his expression slightly exastaued, but didnt say anything. Honestly there was no place he'd rather be right now.
She grinned sweetly at him, beckoning for him to come and run through the blossoms with her. As she sprinted around, her light blonde hair whipped and trailed around her face. She giggled and laughed and hummed, feeling like she was the happiest she'd been in a long time.
Peter watched her a minute before steping forward. He wasnt one to run around.
She cocked her head to the side to smirk at him. "Come on," she said, raising her eyebrows, "If you don't get those legs moving, I'll move them fo~oor yooooouu!" she sang.
Peter smirked and shook his head, "No, I dont run around in meadows." he called.
"Now you do!" she called back, running around behind him and tackling him off his feet. She snapped out her wings once again before they hit the ground, moving them so they were both skimming along the surface of the meadow at lightening speed.
Peter tucked his arms in instantly, eyes widening. "That's unfair!" he yelled, scrnching up his features.
