==> FA: Shudder and swoon from this sexy ice cream-eating dealie.
What she's not trying to be even vaguely sexy about the whole thing.
You ignore the feeling of disappointment that you definitely don't have and keep eating your ice cream. [/center] Cael failed to file the expression away in her memory because she didn't know she was supposed to -- shrugging and eyerolls were the STATUS QUO in her life, as were ALL OTHER EMOTIONS including SURFER which she was pretty sure was not an emotion but kept there anyway JUST BECAUSE.
She wrinkled her nose and stuck her tongue out at Gail like only a deeply offended three-year-old could.
CAEL: just alright? ??
CAEL: gosh i feel like i should be offended!
CAEL: i am all kinds of attractive missy
CAEL: just because YOUR youngun tastes fail to see it!!!!!!
CAEL: but hey for the record
CAEL: youre pretty cute too!
CAEL: yknow, for a squirt.
CAEL: HA!!!!!!

==> FT: slather icecream on your body and scream for your daddy
You learn to entirely disregard the arrow.
You finish your icecream and munch on the cone. Pretty good. [/center] When Cael screwed her face up into an expression of pure juvenile displeasure, a startling transformation took place on Gail's face. One hitherto unseen. Her mouth startted doing this thing where one corner just sort of started to tilt upwards a little bit. Someone being particularly generous might even call it a grin.
Maybe even.
A smile.gail: give an inch
gail: you ask a fuckin mile
gail: thanks
gail: ill ignore the squirt thing
gail: only cause your too pretty
gail: to beat up
gail: jesus christ youre infectious
gail: you and your pink hair

==> FA: Faint from the shock of seeing her smile.
Why would you do that? People smile ALL THE TIME. Not really around you, though. Around you people just kind of grimace and scowl and edge away. But hey, that's alright! You know that not everyone is as AWESOME and FRIENDLY as you.
For a second there you thought that maybe Gail was one of those NOT AS FRIENDLY people. Obviously you were TOTALLY WRONG because she is kind of almost-half smiling at you and you are grinning like some kid who just found out that it's their birthday and Christmas and Halloween all rolled into one.
You stare at her with that grin and gobble down the rest of your ice cream. You lick your lips, bouncing towards her as well as you can on skates, and you kiss her on the cheek.
She is just so dang cute.
You regret nothing. [/center] CAEL: augh i just want to squish your cheeks and hide you in my closet
CAEL: i like your face
CAEL: no scratch that
CAEL: i love your face!!!!!!
CAEL: okay so howsabout
CAEL: we take your cute face and my cute hair and our cute butts
CAEL: and we skedaddle on over to your place, sistah!

==> FT: deploy feminine wiles
No. No thanks. You will keep those feminine wiles of yours exactly where you have always kept them, which is in THE DARKEST MOST SECRET SPOT OF YOUR SOUL.
You will only bust them out for special occasions. SIX-WORD OCCASIONS. Which surely will never happen, ever, so there's no need to worry about THAT.
Then she PLANTS THOSE LIPS OF HERS ON YOUR CHEEK.
Shit why not that was okay.
You consider returning the favour. You DO NO SUCH THING, but the fact that you CONSIDERED IT is more or less REMARKABLE. [/center] gail: that sounded kinda crazy
gail: you know that right
gail: and yeah
gail: my face is fuckin amazing
gail: whole world knows it
gail: fine you can come
gail: its small
gail: mostly just for my sis
gail: and her videogames
gail: jesus christ im blabbin
gail: this is your fault

==> FA: Wiggle your eyebrows suggestively and instigate BLATANT SEXUAL UNDERTONES.
PFFT. What does this arrow think you've been doing? You're not some amateur, sistah, you're a coolstridin swagsteppin ball of pink-haired hot stuff and you have no idea what you're doing. You never know what you're doing, and it never bothers you. You are pretty dang sure that this is the coolest coolcat you're chillin with, and oh gosh yes she is totally never leaving your side. Like ever.
You take her hand and twine your fingers together, smiling the most ridiculously unironic smile as you flail your arms, but only slightly. Little wiggles instead of full-out raves. You kind of got the feeling that maybe she doesn't like the raves.
You must teach her to like the raves. [/center] CAEL: ahahaha
CAEL: its cute how you think i care!
CAEL: your face is all kinds of amazing
CAEL: its like
CAEL: SUPERMEGAFOXYAWESOMEHOT!!!!!!
CAEL: eeeeee this is so exciting!!!!!!
CAEL: hey you know if your place is like just for your sistah or something
CAEL: you could totally crash with me
CAEL: my couch is pretty rad, sistah
CAEL: my bed is even radder!!!!!!
CAEL: heeeeee so anywhos girlychick
CAEL: lead the way!

==> FT: lose yourself
"in the music; the moment.
you own it. you better never ever let it go.
you only got one shot; do not miss your chance to blow.
opportunity comes once in a lifetime; yo
you better." - T.S. Elliot
You are almost certain T.S. Elliot said that.
Cael TAKES YOUR HAND AND DOES THE HOLDING THING. You are unsure how to feel about this. As a potential STRIFING GESTURE it is IMPLICITLY CONFRONTATIONAL. But as a NORMAL PERSON THING it's really quite sweet and you figure that's probably more of what Cael meant by that huh.
You are NOT SO GOOD at the PEOPLE THING.
You start walking in the direction of your home. [/center] gail: make up your mind
gail: jeez
gail: but yeah maybe your place
gail: might be better anyway
gail: mines cramped
gail: and lil sis has videogames
gail: fuckin everywhere
gail: kids nuts with her games

==> FA: LIKE THE LAZY OCEAN HUGS THE SHORE, HOLD HER CLOSE, SWAY HER MORE
You don't even know what that reference is from because you only listen to NOT THAT SONG BECAUSEokay yeah you LOVE THAT SONG. It's like the best thing ever and whoever disagrees can just go shove a foot up their booty.
You follow the arrow's flawless instructions and press closer against Gail, so that your arms are touching from shoulder to fingertip. Your skating is more subdued, calmed by the food in your belly and the warmth of awesome company. If you were smiley before, then you're a straight-up SUN right now, you're beaming so brightly.
It's good to have friends. [/center] CAEL: eeeeee yay!!!!!!
CAEL: oh gosh that would be awesome!
CAEL: we could have like
CAEL: a sleepover
CAEL: with popcorn and footie pajamas and really bad movies!!!!!!
CAEL: it'll be like a sistah night aw yeah!
CAEL: ooooooh your sistah is a gamer chickie then
CAEL: hmmmmmm does she have a n64
CAEL: cuz i have like this whole stack of games that i never play
CAEL: like ever!
CAEL: hmmmmmm
CAEL: are YOU a gamer chickie?
CAEL: you could totally be a gamer chickie, sistah

==> FT: be the friend
Oh god this is weird. The girl's getting all touchy feely or whatever and it kind of freaks you out, but at least she's slowing down. For some reason you don't just want to run off and leave her in the dust. That's usually what you do. That or strife the living shit out of someone. But you don't really want to with this girl. Not right now, anyway. [/center] gail: i dont have fuckin pajamas
gail: but that sounds kinda nice
gail: my sis plays new shit
gail: i think anyway
gail: not like its my deal
gail: i am definitely not
gail: a gamer chickie

==> FA: Squeal like a teenage fangirl and explode all over your new best friend.
You grin and bite your lip and you feel like your heart's about to flip-floppin' burst, you're so happy right now. So, so happy. [/center] CAEL: eeeeeeheehee its a date then!!!!!!
CAEL: and dont worry ill lend you pajamas
CAEL: i have the raddest pjs sistah theyre straight-up
CAEL: oh
CAEL: french toast
You flip open your cackling phone -- gosh you love that ringtone -- mouthing a sorry!!!!!! to Gail as you listen to your brahboss on the other end. You chew on your lower lip and you frown ever so slightly, but you reply to his questions with chirping "yep!"s and "nope!"s anyway.
You hang up and grin at Gail. Pooie. You thought you'd be able to hang out for a while longer, at least.
CAEL: sorry sistah
CAEL: i gotta fly
CAEL: works calling in
CAEL: some dude ganked this other dude and now i gotta be all
CAEL: OBJECTION!!!!!!
CAEL: and get some dudes tossed in the slammer
