The ticket to Ali's concert seemed to glow in Amara's pocket as she made her way to breakfast. Tabitha had snuck home sometime around midnight. Amara had stirred slightly, but didn't really wake like she usually did. She'd been having the best dream. She's been at the Dazzler concert and Ali had pulled her up on stage, and kissed her in front of everyone, including Tabitha and Pietro. She was still smiling about that particular dream when she slid into one of the empty seats at the breakfast table. It didn't take her long to notice some people were missing. Kitty's seat was empty, but that was becoming normal lately. What wasn't normal was Ororo's seat was also empty. Mr. Logan didn't tend to eat breakfast with them, so his empty seat wasn't really a cause for concern. After grabbing her usual breakfast of fresh fruit, Amara darted off to catch the van before it pulled out of the garage. Luckly, she made it in time, and therefore would't be late to school. School itself seemed like a waste of time that day. Nothing made sense, sure, Amara could answer the questions the teachers asked, but every time she looked down at her notes, all she saw was Ali's face and fragments of her dream. "And I thought it had it bad for Tabby," she joked softly washing her face in the girls's rest room. She hadn't really seen Tabitha much today, but that was okay, she found that she wasn't looking for her everywhere. Instead she found herself hoping she'd see Ali sooner than Friday.
"Amara!" Amara blinked and looked around. She was positive she had heard her name, but she was alone in the bathroom. "Over here!" Amara looked up at the smallish window. Ali's face was poking into the room. The window's screen had disappeared months ago. "Wanna hang out?" Amara didn't even give school a second thought as she climbed on the sink and allowed Ali to help her out the window.
"How'd you know where I was?"
"I didn't, I figured you'd either eventually have to use the bathroom, or you were a cyborg!" Ali joked causing Amara to laugh.
"Where we going? The mall?"
"Nah, been there, done that, I was thinking somewhere more exciting. You roller blade?"
"Yeah, last time I did that was with...it doesn't matter, yes, I blade," Amara babbled her mind immeditally flipping back to her time as a Bayville Siren, with her and Tabby on roller blades and Jean following to make sure nothing bad happened. Ali nodded noticing Amara's mood shift. That girl's been hurt before, maybe some fun time will be just what she needs to sort things out. She decided pulling into the parking lot of Bayville's rollerrink. Ali had always loved the fact they played her music, loudly, and had bright lights. Witin seconds, Amara was smiling, having forgotten,temporarly about Tabitha.
