Author's Note: These chapters are going to be coming out fast and furious because I have a lot of pictures and a lot of time. Hey, I can't help it if I'm putting off cleaning my home! Shush!
A week into training, Auriga was growing way too comfortable staying at Sarin's place after work. This was a bad sign. She had hoped that, when her best friend moved in, they'd be spending most of her time drinking away the night and blacking out in parks. Instead, Auriga spent her days at work and her nights, to Sarin's displeasure, at home. This had to be remedied and fast!
Sarin: Enough! You! You are coming out with me tonight.
Auriga: W-what? What are you talking about?
Sarin: This whole homebody thing you're doing! It needs to stop!
Auriga: Whoa, calm down Sar, you know I'm just here till I finish training! I wouldn't want to impose by staying any longer than I have to.
Sarin: Fine, then just move in. You can have the spare bedroom. Now let's go out and celebrate!
Auriga: Wait, there was a spare bedroom this entire time and you made me sleep on the couch?!
Sarin: Well, I was using it as a temporary wine cellar but I can move it out back. Now c'mon! We can still make it to the Natatorium before all the celebs get there. That's when they bring in a bouncer!
Auriga: Ha ha, okay, okay! But you owe me!
Sarin: Perfect, we made it just in time. All the uglies are still here, so they must have half priced drinks!
Green Woman: Excuse you! I resent that comment!
Sarin: Yeah, well, think about how I feel about your face.
Despite the club being filled with remotely mediocre patrons, Auriga had managed to spot the handsomest fellow in Lunar Lakes.
Sarin: Uh, sweetie? You might wanna close your mouth, you're scaring the regulars.
Auriga: Oh my Lyle, he's right behind you. Shit, he's looking! What should I do?
Sarin: First, stop acting like a fucking fool. You gotta get your head in the game! You are going to walk up to him and introduce your self and, if he's not a dead beat, you are going to take him back to your new room and screw his brains out.
Auriga: Oh no, I can't do that! That's totally inappropriate!
Sarin: You listen to me, Auriga Astro, you are going to walk up to that guy and introduce yourself! I don't want to hear any if's, and's, or but's.
Auriga: I'm not good with guys, you know that. I always-
Sarin: You are a sexy minx for all he knows, now get over there and charm the pants off that man! And I don't mean that figuratively!
Auriga: I'm going to need some liquid courage for this! I may be brave, but I'm not stupid.This guy is out of my league!
And after a few more glasses of liquid courage, Auriga was ready.
Auriga: Hello there! I don't do this often, but your face. I like it. It's got a certain quality, I can't explain it. But I'm... attracted to it. You know?
Pink Guy: I'm sorry?
Auriga: No, I'm sorry. I just came over here to see if you'd like to join me on the dance floor. And maybe, if one thing leads to another, we could do the no pants dance.
Pink Guy: Ha ha ha! That's the funny! You're really funny! Are you a comedian? I like you, what's your name?
Auriga: Uhm... Auriga... And that wasn't a joke, sir!
Pax: Well, Auriga, I'm Pax and it's clear that you've had a few too many drinks. I'm incredibly flattered though. You see, I'm sort of in a relationship already.
Auriga: Shit, this is awkward! I'm so sorry, I acted like such a dumb ass. It's just, I promised my friend I would take someone home tonight and... I really don't know what I'm doing at all. Isn't that sad?
Pax: No, not at all! You're just a young lady that knows what she wants.
Pax: How about I help you out. Let me give you my friend's number, he's a great guy! We've been friends since college. He's actually my cousin, but there's practically no resemblance. Does that sound okay to you?
Auriga: All right, PAX, I'm holding you to your word. This guy better be as great as you say he is. Or else I'll come find you.
Pax: Hey, scout's honor! I promise!
So the next day, Auriga called up Pax's cousin, Caph. He was nice, charming, smart... What did Pax say last night? There was no resemblance between the two of them? What did that mean, that he was ugly? That was the problem with blind dates, there was no way of knowing what you were getting into. Auriga decided to take the plunge and ask him out on a date, Caph said he'd meet up with her at the Bistro.
Auriga: I'm going out, Sar! Don't wait up.
Sarin: I wouldn't dream of it, sweetie. Go make me proud!
She had to give it to the guy, he was punctual as well as good looking. Bonus points in her book.
Auriga: Wow, it's really nice to meet you in person! Like, really nice. So, do you wanna grab a bite here and see where things go from there?
Caph: Actually, I was hoping we could go somewhere a little classier. Somewhere like... the Pavilion! Ever been there?
Auriga: Oh, uhm, no! Can't say that I have!
Within minutes of entering the Pavilion, Auriga began downing drinks to calm her nerves. She hoped she wouldn't fall into one of the decorative fountains.
Caph: You okay?
Auriga: Mh-hmm!
Caph: You sure like to drink.
Auriga: MH-HMM!
They danced the night away. This date was going pretty well, Auriga thought. He seemed like a nice enough guy.
Caph: You're so beautiful.
Auriga: Stop it! You're just playing.
Caph: I never play when it comes to the beauty of a woman. And you, Auriga, are a beautiful woman.
Caph certainly was a smooth talker. Auriga felt like she was under his spell, and that wasn't the drinks. Those had worn off hours ago.
She couldn't say the same for Caph.
Caph: We should woohoo in the bathroom.
Auriga: Oh, maybe later, sweetie. I think I should take you home now.
Caph: You are so right! You always know just what to do, Auriga!
Caph: I'm afraid of falling into the decorative fountains! Hold me?
Auriga: Okay, okay! We really need to get you home, Caph.
She had a splendid time, despite her date getting intoxicated to the point of carrying him home. She wouldn't mind going on another date with him, so long as the drunken antics were at a minimum.
Sarin: Heard you had to carry your date out of the club.
Auriga: I- HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW THAT?!
Sarin: Are you kidding me, the Pavilion is like a second home to me. Also, there bartender called me.
And, with only a few hours till work, Auriga tried to nap off her hang over.
