Papa called and said that his car broke down... I don't mind waiting for him to pick me up at all, because I don't have any more classes at the middle school today and I know that since Papa's a mechanic he'll definitely fix it properly before very long! But since I don't have very much to do while he fixes it, would you mind very much if I came back to your dorm with you, Pearl? It should only be about an hour, he said! And I can sit quietly and do my physics homework if you have important things to get done!

Of course not! I'd love it if you came back!

[areyoulovers]

Oh, what a relief! I wondered if I was being too forward...

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Oh no, you don't have to worry! You're my friend, I like hanging out with you.

[areyoulovers]

Oh, of course! But you're older than me so I must be very respectful!

[ and have a Mileina meeting you after school :D ]

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

[ Sup there biffle, I'm just sitting on the wall near the entrance right now and jump off when I see you coming :D ]

Hi Mileina!

[areyoulovers]

Hi, Pearl! I hope you weren't waiting very long!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

No, it's okay! I was only here for a few minutes.

[ beginning to walk now, let's go~ ] Come on, let's walk to the dorm. It's a bit cold out here.

[areyoulovers]

It is! It finally feels like winter!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

It'll be Christmas soon. [ swinging her book bag back and forth a little ] Are you excited? I can't wait to go back to Kurain. It feels like a long time since I've seen my cousin.

[areyoulovers]

Oh, it's already the sixth night of Hanukkah for us! But I think Christmas trees are so exciting, don't you? Are you going to have one?

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Oh, is it? That's right, isn't it... I forgot that you were Jewish! I won't have one in my dorm, but we usually have a really big one in my village.

[ ... yes, she is making the appropriate arm gestures right now to show how huge it is ]

[areyoulovers]

Wooow, that sounds so big! [don't worry your biffle totally gets it] I hope you have a very nice time in your village! And don't worry, Papa doesn't take the holidays very seriously, so it's all right that you forgot!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again... [ fishing in pockets for dorm key now, where are yoooou ] When does your middle school finish for vacation?

[areyoulovers]

Not until next week! Winter break is so late this year...

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Wow, that does sound really late... [ aha! key, you have been found! and just in time as we get to the door ] But at least you only have a week left now, right?

[areyoulovers]

Yes! And I don't mind, because I enjoy school very much! [ generally all o3o at the dorm, THIS IS WHERE THE MATURE OLDER STUDENTS LIVE ]

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

[ unlocking the door and opening it for Mileina to go through first~! ] I do as well! I used to be home schooled when I was younger, but I really wanted to go to a normal high school like everyone else. And I'm really enjoying it here, so it all turned out okay!

[areyoulovers]

I can't wait until I'm in high school for real! Um, where should I put my bag? And should I take my shoes off?

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Oh, you can just put your bag and your shoes in my room if you like, I don't mind! That way they won't get mixed up with anyone else's by mistake.

[areyoulovers]

All right! I can't wait to see your room, it must be so nice!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

It's not that special, really, but I really like it. [ and for argument's sake the have reached the door, which Pearl is pushing open right now ] Well, here we are!

[areyoulovers]

Oh, wow! Your room is so nice!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

I'm glad that you like it! [ she takes off her bag and puts it over the back of the chair in there ]

Well, feel free to make yourself at home!

[areyoulovers]

[ puts her bag down by the door, and takes her shoes off, looking around the room *u* ] Wow, Pearl, you have your own computer? My mama says I'm only allowed an hour a day!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Well, it was a present from the other mediums when I left... it's really useful for doing work, and it means that I can keep in contact with people back home, so I don't miss them as much. At least, that's what they said I should use it for.

[ goes to turn it on~ ] What do you use yours for?

[areyoulovers]

Well... Don't tell anyone, but I've been using it to read a lot of stories lately!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

What sort of stories?

[areyoulovers]

Oh, romance stories, of course! They're so interesting, and everyone writes so well!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Really? What sort of romance stories?

[ she shifts along on the seat to make room for Mileina ] Can you show me? I love stories like that!

[areyoulovers]

Of course! [ she happily plunks herself down and brings up the browser, typing in the URL for a fanfiction site ]

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

[ watches her, making an ":o" face ] Oh, my cousin used to read a lot of fanfiction for her favourite show when we were younger! She only let me look at some of them, though.

[areyoulovers]

What show was it? This site has stories for everything!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

The Steel Samurai! It's a really amazing show, but it's quite old by now.

[areyoulovers]

[ she types in the name and LO AND BEHOLD up pops a list of stories! ] Wow, it looks like it has a lot of fans!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Oh, it does, doesn't it? [ thoughtful face ] Maybe we should just choose one at random. It looks like it would take ages to find the exact story that you wanted to read.

[areyoulovers]

Okay! Ummm... "The Princess and the Samurai", let's read this one!
