YOU AND I WERE BORN TO DIE (OF EATING TOO MUCH PIE).

[nitidus]

WHO: JADE and ROSE
WHERE: the pie hole
WHEN: BACKDATED TO ... THE ... 18TH.
WARNINGS: girls eat pie. a lotta pie. so much pie they burst.
SUMMARY: Rose and Jade """catch up""" aka gossip and hug a lot.
FORMAT: quicker than the flash.

[Rose likes to think she is a subtle girl. Kanaya seems to think so, at the very least.

Today she is not subtle; at approximately 11:00am, Rose sends a text to Jade. She is already at the Pie Hole, on her third cup of coffee and eyeing pie like a convict eyes freedom. The text says: There is so much pie please come and eat it with me.

She waits.

She waits impatiently. ]

[she might be waiting for a while; jade has to WALK now. she is so used to teleporting and zapping herself instantly to where ever she wants to go! her return text says: sorry!!! i think im lost lol. she hovers millimeters off the ground when she thinks nobody is looking and zooms down side streets.

the pie hole, thankfully, is so instantly obvious that it's hard not to spot it once she figures out she's going in the right direction. she goes by smell, mostly, until she remembers the streets and then she suddenly flattens herself against a wall right around the corner from the pie hole and sucks in a great breath. she's about to see rose! for the first time, for the first time. except in dreams and junk.

she flattens her hair as best she can, licking her palms and wetting the ridiculous curls until they smooth out, and then she checks if her breath smells weird (dog breath, weh) and then she stares down at the grubby knees of her tights and wishes she had put on something a little nicer!! but it's too late for that. rose is right there, in the window, and jade gives her a shy kind of hand wiggle as she pops out from around the corner and in through the doors.]

Hey! [she says, a little too loudly, and taps her fingers on the corner of rose's table. she feels so nervous!!!]

[nitidus]

[Rose returns the wave with one of her own. She is not as nervous! She has already seen the twitchy little ears on Jade's head and the cute way she barks at cats. Rose predicts a lot of noise at home in the future. She expects a lot of angry cats sleeping on her face. ]

Hello.

[Maybe she should have ordered another drink.

She glances down at her own. Suddenly


drink guilt. ]

[ladygrit]

[rose doesn't stand up. how is she supposed to hug her if she's sitting down? she hovers for a moment, ears twitching in the silence - maybe this was rose's cunning plan, does rose even like hugs? - and then she takes a seat opposite her at the table, propping her elbows up on the surface and dumping her bag down next to her.]

We've never met before, [she says, a little matter-of-factly, and then retracts it,] Though you've met me before due to weird and stupid time shenanigans!! But I haven't met you, only in dreams.

[nitidus]

I think it is very fitting that your first time meeting me in person should be one that is surrounded by pie.

[Rose's cunning plan is that if she doesn't stand up, she won't fall over. She is wearing new shoes for the occasion. They sort of hurt.

She hates new shoes. ]

[ladygrit]

Yeah, same! I had a pie here and it was soooo gooood.

[she beams, flustered. rose is so pretty!] Are we gonna have pie too?

[nitidus]

Yes, I think so.

[She taps the menu on the table. ]

[ladygrit]

Ooh, okay. [she slides the menu towards herself with the tips of her fingers, and then glances almost shyly up at rose.]

Wanna share?

[nitidus]

I'd love to.

[Jade is far cuter than she remembers. Was Jade always this cute, like a shy baby kangaroo hiding behind it's mother's legs? She has no idea, but it is heart warming. ]

[ladygrit]

Cool! What kind do you wanna get?

[she sits up a little straighter, angling the menu so they can both look at it. thinking about cheese stuffed pie crusts is making her drool; she raises her arm and wipes her mouth hurriedly on her sleeve.]

[nitidus]

[woof woof sucka.

Rose glances over the menu. ]

Perhaps blueberry?

[ladygrit]

Yes!!

That smells really yummy.

[nitidus]

Yes, I thought so too. Although, the strawberry also smells delicious.

[She closes the menu and flattens it against the table.]

How are you settling in? I've tried to keep the cats out of your room.

[ladygrit]

[she wrinkles her nose at that, ears flattening]

Oh - eugh, we have cats? Why do we have cats?

[nitidus]

[friendship terminated. ]

Because Kanaya gave me two and Roxy gave me one more.

[ladygrit]

Great.

[she buries her nose in the crook over her arm sulkily, kicking her legs underneath the table.]

Dave said he's going to give me a dog.

[nitidus]

Dave's dog is nothing to sing home about. Trust me.

[Rose sees how it is. Rose GETS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. ]

[ladygrit]

I don't care. I miss Bec.

[nitidus]

[whoa there miss sulky. ]

Can you miss something when they are on your head?

[ladygrit]

Yes!

... I think.
