Swinging upside from the monkey bars was a guy with snow-colored hair and an even paler complexion. He wore a sky blue, short-sleeved shirt over a black and white striped long-sleeved shirt with a hood that had been yanked over his halo of bright white hair. The youth swung himself upright, perched atop the monkey bars as he leapt several feet into the air, doing a front flip, landing on ground with a soft thud. He wore a pair of plain black sweatpants and a pair of bright red converse. He practically glided toward the swings, hardly noticing the stares of disapproving parents leading their children away from the playground as he swung back and forth. The wind in his hair felt nice, especially since it was a little chilly. Xander smiled and closed his amber-gold eyes.
Back and forth. Back and forth. He was going and higher and higher, spreading his arms as if he were imagining that he was flying. True, it was a wish of his. 'I've been grown up so long, I forget what it feels like to be a kid' he thought with a deep sigh. The angelic-looking boy suddenly vaul;ted himself from the swing just as it was about to wrap around the pole it hung from, doing a double somersault and a twist in the air, catching the eyes of the passerbys. Xander's eyes remained closed, he'd landed on his hands, touching his feet to the ground, bending background before straightening up. Opening his eyes, he drew his hood up and smiled and waved in a friendly manner to the people who'd stopped. It had only been a few, but still, it was a bit flattering, not that he needed it.

May was looking for the swings. She felt safe on the swings, just a childhood thing for her like stuffed animals and flowers. She smiled and stood with her hands stuffed into the pockets of the light blue, zip-up hoodie that has black and white stars on it. A striped black and white scarf with some run-of-the-mill jeans with the lovely blue ballet flats. She was oddly "stylish" today, something drove her to look nice like she was going to a high-class place. But the only thing she wanted to do was feel the cold streams of wind hit her face and that small minute of flying as she would launch herself off the swings.
Adrenaline ran through her just thinking about it. A silver loop, lip ring that her brother still didn't know about, shimmered in the sunshine. Obviously Lexx didn't know she was there. It was the park, there was light, she was albino. It didn't mix. But when she got mad she'd run away to the park and swing to clear her mind. It was her own rebellion that could hurt her more than anyone else. In one white hand was a blue umbrella that she'd use later to cover herself with.
May saw a pale boy that reminded her of herself without the hair dye. She'd sometimes forget about what she looked like without her colored hair and would let it change back to that snowy white color that others would bleach their hair for. She couldn't help but reach up and touch her hair and feel it with her hands. It was soft and shiny, she took very good care of it.

Xander smiled to himself as he walked to the swings, pausing as he spotted someone else, a girl. He didn't move for a moment, noticing her skin was as pale as his, as unusual as that was, Xander thought nothing of it. He simply waved and smiled at her, then began swinging away. He wasn't albino, but most people assumed as much, but he didn't bother correcting him, what was the point of it? Half the people he knew didn't believe him. 'This park is actually nice, I wonder if anyone would want to have a dance contest or something, although I love the payground' he thought as he gazed up at the sky. Xander sighed, and breathed in deeply, taking in the fresh air.

May smiled and waved too. She did her walk that seemed to make her almost bouncy. She looked at Xander, "Hello," she said in a more quiet voice than usual. She sat down on the swing next to the one Xander was on. She looked at him and propped her umbrella next to the pole that held the swingset up. May put her hands around the chains and began to sway back and forth. She looked at Xander and waited to see if he said "hello" back.

Xander glanced at her and smiled cheerily. "Ello! It's good to see someone else out here besides children and parents,"he said in a calm, but cheery tone of voice. It'd be nice to have some company, no matter how much he liked his alone time, he wanted to have at least one person he could talk to in this place. "I'm Xander, but my street name is SnowDrop,"he introduced himself. As for the street name, he was a dancer, and he often challenged people in parking lots or parties, when he felt like going.

"I'm May and I don't have a street name," she said laughing a little. She could see why his name was SnowDrop. She didn't want to assume that he was albino like her, but she couldn't help but think about it. "Are you albino?" she asked suddenly and strangely. Of course, in May's mind, it wasn't strange at all.

The boy only smiled and shrugged. "That's what most people think, honestly, I don't even really know the answer myself,"he paused for a moment to glanced up at the sky again. "But, I don't burn as easy as most albino people do, Hey, do you like to dance?"he asked, looking down at her again. Xander was unusually cheerful, maybe because he was out and about again, and at least 10000 miles away from Morticia.

"I love to dance," she said excitedly and swung higher and higher. May smiled she loved the outdoors although she didn't get to see it much.

Xander smiled and nodded once. "I'm a dancer myself, on the streets back home I'd get into dance-offs, and that's when people started calling me SnowDrop,"he explained briefly with a bright smile as he loosened his grip on the swing.

"Wow, awesome. I haven't done a dance-off before...but I do dance alot," she said thinking about it. May was pretty sure he wasn't talking about "proper" dances like waltz and swing. She hadn't done "freestyle" in a long time.

"It's just a bunch of people trying to show off, it's actually really fun, I haven't danced in awhile though,"he said and shrugged a bit. It was true, heh adn't danced in awhile, but he'd been doing alot of stretching anf exercises. "So, what brings you out here?"he asked curiously.

"To get away I suppose," she said letting her swing slow down. "I'm actually not entirely sure."

"Well, I actually just moved here, this just happens to be the first place I come across,"Xander said, not sounding very thrilled about moving. He did like Ocean Springs, and the fact that he was starting over completely, but he would miss all his friends, especially his ex, Morticia.

May nodded, "Well I'm glad you like it. It's quite a lovely place," she said tilting her head to the sky. She stood up and walked over to her umbrella. She opened it up and then made her way back to the swing. "Now, where were we?" like they had been deep in a conversation when she had to get up.
