Meanwhile...
With James...
Like a lot of people in Simport, he felt relieved that the hurricane had finally come and gone. Despite this, he didn't really have any plans of going out and about today, so it seemed like this morning was going to be one where he just stayed inside and watched some TV. His mother and step-father were busy with cleaning their bedroom upstairs, while he wasn't too sure what Victoria was doing...not that he really cared...so the living room was free for him to sit there and watch TV by himself. So far, today seemed like it was going to be a rather relaxing day for him.
After a few minutes of watching TV passed by, the geeky goth heard the sound of a knock coming from his front door. This was something that he found rather peculiar, as he wasn't expecting anyone coming over to the house to visit today, as far as he knew. He didn't invite any of his friends over to the house today. He knew Ray and Raven would probably be busy with either work or each other, while Jenny, he believed that she would be at work around this time right now. Standing up from the couch, James went over to the front door to see who it was.
James opened the front door, only to see that it was actually Jenny who was standing in front of his door. He was both surprised and confused by this, considering he was expecting her to be at work instead of coming over to visit. He didn't even remember calling her this morning or last night asking if they willing to hang out right now. Still baffled by what was even going on, until he finally said something to his best friend.
"Jenny?" James said. He blushed, before giving her a sheepish smile. "Well, this is quite the surprise, isn't it? What are you doing at my house?" He then chuckles nervously, before rubbing the back of his head. "Not that...I have a problem with that..."
"Oh, well, I've been called here to have a 'Girls Day Out'." Jenny said with a smile.
"A 'Girls Day Out'? What are you talking about?"
"She means that she and I are going to out in the town, enjoying a little time together..." Victoria said, chiming into the conversation. "...Without thee, Louiston."
James turns around very quickly, startled by the sudden appearance of Victoria's voice right behind him. The goth's step-sister was just standing there with a very smug look on her face, glaring at him as she walked up to the front door beside him. Once she got beside her step-brother, Victoria reaches into her pocket, before pulling out James's Smartphone. She hands it over to him, before speaking.
"I must add, thou really must not leave thy phone alone where I can take ahold of it." Victoria said, as he placed James's phone into his phone. "While thou was asleep, fair Jennifer attempted to call thee again, Louiston. She and I figured that we could have a 'Girls Day Out' together. We're off to enjoy ourselves in two locations, no less. The coffee shop, then the mall."
"Jenny called while I was asleep?" James asked while giving a very irritated look at his step-sister. Victoria nodded, before the goth continued to rant to her. "Why didn't you wake me up to talk to her some more? I was wanting to talk to her about some things...until you decided to hang up on her after you were done."
"Actually, my dad needed something. I hung up first." Jenny said, stepping forward towards the two of them. "Even if Victoria didn't interrupt our conversation, I doubt our call wouldn't went on for long anyway."
"Oh...nevermind then..." James said softly to himself.
"Don't feel down about the fact that me and you won't be hanging out together today though, dude. One of these days, me and you are probably going to hang out at either Vic Vector's Arcade or the comic book store like we normally do." Jenny then turned her head to the left as the drama teacher's daughter stepped out of the house, now standing next to her. "...But, since it has been awhile since I ever actually had...I want to spend the day, hanging out with another girl for once, you know? Besides, it had been awhile since me and Victoria had ever hung out together, so...now is probably a more perfect time than ever if you ask me."
"Alright. I can't really argue with that." The geeky goth backs up into his house, before pointing behind himself. "I guess if we're not going to be hanging out today, I could just go back and continue watching StarCruiser X by myself. Hopefully, we get to hang out together some other day, Jenny."
"I'm sure we will. Don't worry, James." Jenny then turned towards her best friend's step-sister, before pointing towards the sidewalk behind them. "Shall we be heading off to get ourselves coffee now?"
Victoria bowed her head with a smile. "We shalt, fair Jennifer! Away we shalt go!" She said as she pointed off to one random direction in the neighborhood, much to Jenny's confusion and annoyance.
"Dude, we talked about this, call me 'Jenny'. Also, like I said, no need to be so formal with somebody like me."
James just remained standing by his front door, watching Jenny and Victoria walk off to another part of town. Obviously, his sights remained focused on the former out of both of the girls. He wasn't too sure what those two girls are going to be talking about, most likely to him, it was probably going to be about boys. Whatever happens, he just hopes that Victoria doesn't convince Jenny to go talk with Rob so that they can start a relationship...it was bad enough that Jenny believes that she has a 'Secret Admirer', but the last thing he wanted was for his step-sister of all people to encourage her to date Rob Jarrett. He felt like things were going more wrong then they already do.
After seeing that Jenny and Victoria had finally disappeared from his sights, James closed the door and went back to watching TV again.
Meanwhile...
At the coffee shop now...
It was pretty obvious that because of the previous storm, BeeBee was forced to remain at the coffee shop until morning. She, along with her new pet bunny, both had to sleep at the same booth table that they were previously sitting at before, with BeeBee laying on the seat while her bunny was sleeping on the table. She was lucky that her new pet didn't cause any sort of trouble like it did back at 'Love and Lunch'. She was also pretty lucky that none of the employees working there decided to kick her out, and make her head back home in the storm. For what it's worth, she was probably happy that Pinky actually didn't remain staying here overnight along with her, because BeeBee knew that her best friend would be refusing to sleep on the seats, and probably complain the entire night.
Speaking of Pinky, the moment she woke up, she gave her best friend a call in order to pick her up to take her home. Despite everything that had happened both last night and especially what had happened back at 'Love and Lunch', her best friend reluctantly agreed to drive her back to her house. The phone call was even the first time that Pinky had decided to mention Tim. She never really went into detail about her new friend, all that the girl in blue said was that Tim was a new friend of hers and that he will be able to pick her up in his best friend's car. That was all that was really said, causing BeeBee to be rather curious who this new friend that Pinky has met even was.
It felt like it was taking forever since Pinky and Tim were getting here. BeeBee just stood there in the parking lot, looking left and right at the street that's a few feet away from her, wondering where those two even are right now. They said that they'd be here in any minute now. After a few more seconds passed by, the car that Tim was driving pulled in one of the nearby parking spaces, much to BeeBee's amazement.
'Hmm...that's a nice car...' BeeBee said in her thoughts as a smirk grew on her face. 'I wonder if this new friend Pinky found is a total hottie.'
BeeBee walked over to the car, getting into the backseat along with her new pet bunny. Once she was inside, she decided to lean forward through both of the front seats just to see who Tim actually was. She looked to her right and saw Pinky sitting in the front seat. She then looked left at the man in the driver seat...only to see that Tim was not exactly who she was expecting. Her smile became a disappointed frown as she saw the blue-haired man sitting there.
"Oh...are you supposed to be Tim?" BeeBee asked, speaking in a slow, yet obviously disgusted, tone of voice.
"You must be BeeBee." Tim said, looking behind his shoulder. He kept his eyes focused on the bunny ear headband that the girl in pink was wearing. "When Pinky told me that you love rabbits, she wasn't kidding."
"Oh, why yes. I am the 'Bunny Princess' after all." Her pet bunny hopped out of her purse and onto her lap, much to her delight and Pinky's annoyance. "This rabbit here is my new pet and subject. I met him quite recently when I was walking down the street, and found him all alone in a bush without a single friend by its side. So I decided to bring him in as one of my pets."
"Don't you have enough rabbits in your house already?" Pinky asked, sounding both silent and sarcastic. "You wonder why I never visit your house."
"Well, as I am the 'Bunny Princess'...I don't think that you ever can have enough."
Pinky scoffs, before leaning to the left towards Tim. "That's what she told me back when we were little...she would constantly bring rabbits she found back to her house almost everyday."
"Anyway, enough about my new rabbit friend." The girl in pink places her new pet aside, before scooting closer to the front seats again. "I must say, Tim...I like the car."
"Oh, uh...it's not actually mine." Tim told her. "It actually belongs to one of my best friends. He lets me borrow it whenever I need to pick up a friend for us, or if something needs to be done in another part of Maine."
"Oh..." BeeBee mutters softly, before her expression became that of indifference. "...I see..."
"You should meet Chaz one of these days though. He's totally cool a person..." The blue-haired man then frowns, before grabbing a hold of the steering wheel in front of him. "...But...I doubt now is a good enough time to do so, since...he was dumped yesterday..." He then cringed, before giving an optimistic yet unsure look on his face. "...But, hopefully, Chaz will be able to get back onto his feet and start dating again."
"Well, send my regards to him then."
"I'm sure he'll appreciate it, thank you."
"Right..." Pinky said, finally saying something after many seconds of silence has passed. "...Can we get going now? The fact that I'm sitting in the same car with...an actual rabbit my best friend found is starting to become unbearable..."
"Alright." Tim said, before starting up the car again. "Then let's get a move on." He then looks behind himself at his new friend's best friend in the backseat. "Do you know where your house is from here?"
"Thankfully, yes. I'll give you the directions as we drive." BeeBee said, as she continued to pet her new animal friend.
"Great." After that was said, Tim backed out of the driveway and became to make his way to BeeBee's house in order to drop her off there.
