Aradia sat awkwardly in the passanger seat. She tried not to touch anything, to avoid getting the clean leather dirty. The car still had that new scent, mixed with the scent of roses mixed in. It was quite a nice mix.
The black sports car was treasured by Kanaya, who said that the black color went with everything. The dashboard had an embroidered fabric covering with Kanaya and Rose's names in Jade and Pink.
Classical music was playing, soothing compared to what music Aradia was used to hearing. Kanaya drove very carefully, paying attention to every sign they passed and being sure to go the limit.
When Kanaya had come to her house earlier, Aradia had been half asleep and not quite sure what she had meant when she said gathering, but now she remembered. Equius and Gamzee had come one day and Gamzee had talked about some 'Motherfucking party for a new sis.'
Aradia stared out the window, watching buildings and trees pass by. She couldn't catch the names of any one's except the obvious ones. Her nightmare flashed across her mind and she shifted uncomfortably. When going to a party, it probably wasn't the best idea to bring up that horrid dream in her mind.
She was startled when a hand touched her shoulder. It snapped Aradia from her own mind and she saw the pricy houses with perfect lawns that meant they were almost to Gamzee's house. She turned to Kanaya.
"Yes?" She asked softly.
Kanaya cleared her throat and pulled over, "We are almost there. It would be best to tell me what is wrong."
Aradia watched a woried expression come over the calm one she was used to. A sigh stretched the silence between them.
"I-I don't want to talk about it." Aradia said hesitanly.
She began playing with the edge of her skirt. The threads were loose and she pulled on one until it came off. Then yanked on another, twirling it about her finger.
"I won't tell anyone. Now tell me what is wrong." Kanaya said with a soft tone in her voice.
Aradia tore more of the threads off her skirt. She looked around again. It seemed Kanaya wasn't going to go anywhere until she spoke. And the doors were locked, too.
"Fine."
Aradia started to tell Kanaya.
