A couple of days later, Apple was in a café waiting on Cherrie to show up for a sisters day in town that the two had planned.
"Sorry that I'm late, I was playing Grand Theft Chariot till midnight last night," said Cherrie as she sat down across from Apple. She was wearing a white tank top with a gold leather jacket over it and jeans.
"You should have called me then, we could have just rescheduled our sisters day for another time," said Apple.
"It's alright, I normally go to bed around midnight and get up at six, I just knew that I could sleep in today since I did not have to meet you until ten, then lost track of time," said Cherrie as she removed her jacket. That's when Apple's eyes went wide as she noticed that Cherrie's right arm was covered in tattoos.
"You have a tattoo sleeve?" asked a surprised Apple.
"Oh yeah, I've been getting them for a… wait, you know that an arm of tattoos is called a sleeve?" asked Cherrie as she raised an eyebrow at this.
"Um, well," said a now nervous Apple.
"I don't believe it, my sister who had no clue what sky diving was is a tattoo enthusiast," said Cherrie who was chuckling to herself over this.
"I'm not an enthusiast, I just like how tattoos can be beautiful when done right," said Apple as she hoped no one around them could hear.
"Hey, why don't you get one?" asked Cherrie who had leaned in to whisper.
"Mother will kill me if she finds out," said a panicked Apple.
"But think, you could get something for that special someone that you love," said Cherrie, which made Apple's face red.
"Plus, you can use it to tease that person, just imagine them knowing you have it but not what it is or where and how adorable their expression will be as they run over all of the possibilities," said Cherrie who was trying not to laugh at how red her sister kept getting in the face.
"Ahem, we… well, I did think this would be great to get as one," said Apple as she took out her mirrorphone and also tried to calm herself down.
"That person we were just talking about drew this for me a few months ago," said Apple.
"Good news then, I know the best artist to help with this, he won't tell a soul about it either since he's so loyal," said Cherrie. Several hours later, Apple had returned to her and Raven's room.
"Hey, you and Cherrie have fun today?" asked Raven as she sat at her desk.
"Yeah… we did," said Apple with a wince of pain as she moved to her desk.
"Are you hurt?" asked a worried Raven as she ran over to check on her.
"No, just soar from the tattoo I got earlier today," said Apple as she sat down on her bed without moving her arms.
"Oh… wait, you did what?!" asked Raven as her eyes went wide from the shock of learning this.
"Cherrie convinced me to get one," said Apple.
"But what kind of tattoo would you get and where?" asked Raven who was still completely shocked that Apple White got a tattoo.
"It's a tattoo of something that we both love and you wouldn't be able to see very well right now," said Apple with a devious smile as she left for the bathroom.
"Oh hex," said Raven as her face turned red as ideas of what the tattoo could be and where ran through her head.
