Carolyn's Comments:
Mood: Calm
Tira walked down the hall. She rounded a corner and waited for a moment. When she was sure no one was coming, she breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Phew. I finally asked him. I never would've forgiven myself if I'd let him leave without asking him first."
"Nice one, Tira." A voice called out suddenly. "I didn't think you had it in you!"
At that moment, Carolyn, Katie, and Caitlin came up to her. Carolyn was rubbing her scalp, which was still sore after her little 'episode' with Katie.
"W-What do you mean?" Tira managed to stammer.
"Yeah, what do you guys mean?" Katie asked. Her face wore a clueless expression.
Carolyn sighed. "What do you think?"
Katie thought for a moment, then she snapped her fingers. "Slipknot's a great band?"
"Besides that."
"Jessica Simpson is an idiotic fake, that doesn't deserve anything that she's been given?"
"Besides that." Caitlin snapped. The two smarter members of 'The Trio' were getting pissed off.
Katie thought for another couple of seconds, then she shrugged. "I think Tira's got a crush on Cedric, and those fencing lessons are just an excuse to see him."
"I THINK WE'VE MADE A BREAK-THROUGH!" Carolyn cheered.
"She'll be back to normal come nightfall." Caitlin sighed.
"I forgot what we were talking about!" Katie beamed. "Sure sounds important!"
"Will you stop talking about me as if I'm not here?" Tira snapped. She sighed. "And the lessons are NOT an excuse to see Cedric."
"Oh really?" Caitlin said. She wore a sly smile. "Then why were you blushing when you asked him?"
"B-Blushing?" Tira squeaked.
"Don't deny it!" Carolyn said pointing accusingly at her with a triumphant smile on her face. "We saw you. You were gazing at him like a dreamy little school-girl!"
Tira's blush had returned. "Look, I do NOT have a crush on Cedric. I don't know why you keep bothering me about it. I feel a little bad for him though." Her face changed to contain a hint of sadness. "He sees no other girl but Mia. But she's in love with someone else, it's really kind of sad. Even if I DID have crush on him, hypothetically speaking, he can't get over her."
"Actually, something like this could be the best thing for Cedric right now." Caitlin said.
"Huh?"
"According to Riku, Cedric's been in a depressed rut for three years. You and him seem like a cute couple; maybe you could try and give him a push in the right direction. Help him get over Mia, you know?" Carolyn said smiling. She grinned. "I think you should go for it! Otherwise you might regret it!"
"…Maybe…" Tira whispered.
"Just as long as it doesn't become a dragged out 'confused-odd-couple-not-sure-how-they-feel-about-each-other' like how Carolyn and Cronos were/are." Katie chimed in.
Carolyn blushed angrily. "What is THAT supposed to mean?"
"Oh come off it!" Caitlin said rolling her eyes. "You knew Cronos for almost eight months before you realized you loved him! He knew he loved you after six months, but both of you were too SHY to tell each other! You waited to the last minute to tell him, right before he went on that 'suicide' mission!"
"Don't you EVER bring that up again!" Carolyn snarled. Her eyes were blazing.
"Lots of crying there." Caitlin went on, "You kissed ONCE, then he ran off and we were all sure he died. But then after five minutes of crying, he runs back to us, almost unscathed from the explosion. And then after the battle, YOU almost died! And you've been going out for three years since! Jeezy creezy! That was a stormy courtship if I ever saw one!"
"I said SHUT UP!" Carolyn snapped.
"Why should I?"
Carolyn slammed her fist into the wall making a huge dent in the stone. Her eyes were glowing with demonic rage. "ARE YOU THE LEADER OF 'THE TRIO' OR AM I?!"
"Eep." Caitlin squeaked.
"Oh!" Katie said jumping up and down with her hand raised. "It's Carolyn! Carolyn's the leader!"
"Very good Katie!" Carolyn said as if she was an owner addressing her dog after it had preformed a complicated trick. "Here, have a cookie!" She fished into her pocket and fished out a small cookie. She tossed it to Katie, who caught it in her mouth.
"I don't know why she's the leader." Caitlin grumbled to Tira. "I'm older, smarter, and have the longest hair! Plus I'm the smartest."
Katie, being the total idiot, always knows truth from lies. She coughed. Caitlin glared at her.
"It's because I'm only human who can successfully control Katie." Carolyn stated, "And if you didn't listen to me, I'd have her make your life a living hell."
"Oh yeah. I forgot about that." Caitlin grumbled.
"Well, see you around Tira!" Carolyn said as the three friends turned and walked down the hall. "And don't forget what we talked about."
"I won't," Tira whispered, "I won't."
