Chapter 8- Just friends?
It was only a day from when they met, but every time Violet saw Star Brush, she had this weird feeling in her stomach. It was something she had never experienced before, it wasn't bad, no. in fact, Violet liked it. Every time she would see him, he came to the art gallery at twelve every day, she blushed and stared at him. One day, Sarah came to Violet's work to talk to her. "Hey girl!" She said. "So what's up?" Violet blushed and said: "Nothing, really." "Oh I can see it in your face. Something IS up. And i'm not talking about the pictures on the walls if you know what i mean." She smirked. Before Violet could say anything else, Star came. Violet started staring at him with an adoring look on her face. It did not go unnoticed by Sarah. "Ooooh... Somepony has a cruuuuush!" Sarah whispered. "Oh shut up..." Violet said in a non-convincing tone. "We're just friends." She added. "Yeah, that's what they all say." Sarah noted. "Hey ladies. Violet, can i have a box of brushes please?" Star said. They had a small art supplies shop where Violet occasionally worked. "Yeah, sure..." Violet said in a dreamy voice and glided to the back of the store. She took a box of brushes and carried it to Star. "Here you go that will be twelve bits." Violet said and handed over the box. Star gave her twelve bits and started walking towards the door. Suddenly, he turned around and said: "Hey, Violet, what are you doing today?" Violet blushed and said "Nothing, really. Why?" She knew she had promised to babysit for the Cakes but she figured she could have Sarah do it. Or tell them she's sick or something. "Just wondering. Would you want to go to a restaurant maybe? Or just grab a coffee?" "Yeah, restaurant sounds fun." Violet said while trying to hide her excitement and blushed. "Great, i'll meet you at five, okay?" "Yeah." Star turned around again and went out the door. Sarah squicked from excitement and said: "Okay, listen, you are going to be at the Lotus Spa by three, while you are taking a refreshing massage and bath, i will go to Rarity's boutique and i will get you a proper attire, then i will come pick you up and we will go to my place and get you ready and you will be there by five. Oh, and i will be at the Cakes' place by five thirty and will come to pick you up at his place tomorrow morning. Call me when you wake up, OK?" Sarah said. "But.." Violet tried to argue. "Great!" Sarah cut her off half-sentence.
3 PM:
Sarah was standing in front of the Lotus Spa. Violet came, running. "You shouldn't have run. Now you're all sweaty! Get inside! They're waiting for you!"
4 PM:
Sarah was waiting in front of the Lotus Spa again. Violet came, this time not running and from the spa.
"Great! Come now, my place is by the Golden Oak Library."
4:15 PM:
They entered Sarah's house. It was big for one pony, even bigger than Violet's house. The corridor was short and had three doors. Sarah entered the first from the left and Violet followed her. It was a huge living room. Sarah guided her to a makeup station with a mirror and had her sit down.
"Let the seventy-fourth annual Makeover Games... Begin!" Sarah said with a hairpin in her mouth and a curling wand in her hand.
"And may the odds be ever in your favour." Violet quoted. The Pony Games was their favourite book and movie series. That is what they talked about most of the time.
When Sarah was done with her, she looked amazing. "Done. And it was about time too, you need to get going. And so do I." Sarah said. "Yeah, thanks again for that."
5 PM:
In front of the restaurant-
Violet breathed in and out and said: "Just friends Sarah, just friends."
