*Close to Halloween the same year*
Cloe laid on her couch with her red panda, Nabu, laying on her stomach and her phone in her hand. She hadn't seen David or Ashley in nearly 4 months now, since he moved to LA in California and Ashley moved with him because she didn't want to live with their mother. Shortly after they'd left, she and her friend Zoe came across a zoo that had small red panda cubs they couldn't keep because they were closing the red panda exhibit. She and Zoe took the male and female. Cloe took the male, and named him Nabu and Zoe named the girl Nala. Now they had grown and were fully grown red pandas, and just as adorable as before.
With a start, Cloe realized how close to Halloween it was and she had no idea what to dress as. Not only that but she was moving out to California before the holiday, so she had to figure out what would be good for LA weather instead. Being incredibly thankful for the cosmetics class she took with Ashley in college before she and David...broke up...she quickly decided to tweet her predicament to someone, someone she knew still dressed up for Halloween.
Triforce_Champ: Hey Sohinki you wouldn't happen to have any ideas for a costume would you?
A few moments later, her phone pinged with a reply she hadn't expected.
Sohinki: Triforce_Champ Nope. I don't plan on dressing up until the last minute for a party I'm sure I'll have to go to. Sorry.
Triforce_Champ: Sohinki It's alright, I so didn't even expect you to reply, I just figured since I'm moving out there I'd need a more temperate costume
He didn't respond after that but she still smiled at that. He had indeed remembered her handle, this wasn't the first time he's responded to her and even basically admitted to remembering it. Regardless, she moved Nabu off her and stood up, stretching and looking around the small cabin she would be moving out of. This place had been her home since she and David fell out, and now she was moving out to California to hopefully further her possible career in video games and entertainment. Not to mention Ashley wanted her to move out there too. It didn't take much but Cloe agreed, and packed up immediately and looked for a house. And she'd found one, and was catching the flight tomorrow. She didn't even want to think about the amount of money it took to make this possible, and didn't want to think about who helped to get her out there.
She looked down at her phone again when it pinged with another twitter notification.
Sohinki: Triforce_Champ You're moving out here? When?
Triforce_Champ: Sohinki Tomorrow morning. Why?
Sohinki: Triforce_Champ Just wondering. Maybe we'll run into each other and not even know it.
Triforce_Champ: Sohinki That would make my entire life :D
He didn't respond to that either but she couldn't stop the smile that spread across her face, the biggest one she was sure she'd had the past 4 months, possibly even her entire life. Now to figure out what she was going to dress as for Halloween.
*The Next Day, LA Airport*
As she shoved her last bag into the back of Ashley's car, she couldn't help but have her heart in her throat. She was really in LA, and there was a large possibility of meeting people she'd looked up to and been thankful for, and she wasn't sure how she would handle it. She sat in silence in the car, and Ashley babbled about how nice it is here despite her knowing how much Cloe hates the heat. Quickly the subject changed to her job as Smosh's costume designer, and Cloe's ears pricked when she heard the way she said a certain man's name.
"You have a crush on Joshua?"
Almost immediately, Ashley's face was red and her eyes focused solely on the road.
"Is it that obvious?"
"Yes." Cloe replied, giggling at her friends embarrassment.
"He has a girlfriend though, so it's not going to happen, like ever. It's Erin, the model."
"So? She kinda looks like you, so what's stopping you? What about that breakfast you make for him all the time?"
"I don't think he even knows I exist, Cloe. Not like Sohinki knows you though. He talks about you all the time, and has no idea what you look like or act like in real life!"
"Wait, what? He talks about me?!"
"Yeah. You're making him fall for you, chicky. He doesn't want to admit it, but he really freaking likes you and there's no doubt about that."
Cloe couldn't think of anything to say to that. The only thought in her head was holy shit. Could she have possibly done what she never thought possible?
Were those tweets enough to really do that?
