The night was going smoothly. Vanessa behaved herself and used her manners. Even though Vanessa and Marina had very similar personalities Marina being much more introverted is able to contain herself. Vanessa, however, being extroverted has a more difficult time remaining professional. Not that she wanted Vanessa to remain cooped up in a shell if Peabody and her were to develop a friendship. She just wanted to build it up gradually, slow and steady wins the race.
"So, Vanessa. Where did you and Marina meet?" Peabody asked.
"Well, Marina and I were assigned to be room mates in college. At first I thought she was a real buzzkill and too quiet. She never talked and always kept to her side of the room. I suppose it's better than getting stuck with some creep who messes everything up, but it was pretty awkward for a month or two." Vanessa began, as she took a sip from her glass. Ah yes, the finest beverage, pepsi.
"Gee thanks, Vanessa." Marina commented sarcastically.
"Just being honest. Anyways, one night she came back to the dorm and just started sobbing. I didn't know what the heck happened. At first I was just gonna leave her alone but what kind of jerk would just let someone cry when you have the opportunity to help. I consoled her and she told me that some people were harassing her, she refused to tell me who because I threatened to...teach them a lesson." She chuckled nervously. "I still don't know who they were."
"And you never will. It doesn't matter now anyways." Marina said sternly, but faded into a whisper. She looked over to Peabody whose fists were clenched. He was obviously irritated at the people who made Marina cry as well.
"Regardless, we became much closer after that. We went shopping, went to the park, just kinda did random stuff at the dorm. We had a good time and I consider her one of my best friends."
"Awwwh, Vanessa. I consider you one of my best friends too." Marina walked up to her friend and hugged her gently. Vanessa wrapped her arms around her friend's waist and squeezed her tightly causing Marina to fall into her lap.
"Isn't she the cutest thing?" Vanessa said in a baby voice as she nuzzled her friend.
"Vanessa...please. I can't breathe" Marina gasped between struggled breaths.
Vanessa's grip loosen slightly, but did not free the much shorter woman. Peabody only chuckled at the two friends. Finally, Marina's predator let go of her and allowed her to fall to the ground.
"Oh my God you have a tight grip." Marina gasped for air.
It was quite late now, just about to hit midnight and at this point Marina, Peabody, and Vanessa and sat on the couches in comfortable silence.
"Hey, Vanessa." Marina began.
"What?" Vanessa snapped out of spacing out.
"Throw back Thursday to when we did a screamo version of the campfire song from spongebob." Marina said giggling lightly.
"Throw back Thursday to that time you got really sick and started singing the whole Aladdin soundtrack at 4:30 in the morning."
"Throw back Thursday to when you threw that kid from our anatomy class into the frick fracking snick snacking garbage can." Marina said starting to bust out into laughter.
Peabody was obviously very confused. He silently mouthed "snick snacking?" to himself. "Girls, you do realize its tuesday right? Not Thursday."
Vanessa and Marina looked at each other and bust into another fit of laughter.
Peabody looked at the two friends, he chuckled and shook his head. "I do believe you two are sleep deprived. Why don't you head home and we can hold a get together some other day?"
Marina tried to suppress her giggles and wiped the tears from under her eyes. Vanessa leaned back on the couch she was lounging on and covered her face, still chuckling.
"Yeah, I guess you are right Peabody. We will see you later." Marina got up and gave Peabody a chaste kiss on the cheek.
"Night, Peabody! Nice meeting ya!" Vanessa called from around the corner by the elevator.
"Nice meeting you as well, Vanessa." Peabody replied with a warm smile.
(sO I wanted to make the girls talk about a bunch of inside jokes and use some weird phrases. Just to broaden their sense of humor ya know? I hope you enjoy it you guys.)
