ARIES

• Work out. Then again, why bother?
  
• Your socks don't match.
  
• Your clothes all need to be replaced.
  
• Your usually dominant manner is replaced by a coy submissiveness today. Go with it.

[When Pao-lin receives her horoscopes on Friday the 25th, she doesn't really think much of them -- she isn't into that kind of thing, and anyway she's too occupied

Comments

[action] 29th because he has to tease her about the dress thing

[hiken_ace]

[Well, Ace decided to drop by the bakery and get a little something to eat. The experiment was making him a bit tired, so a bit of unwinding should be okay.

When lo and behold, he sees Pao-lin sitting a few tables away. Wearing a dress. Was this seriously the same girl who kept saying she wouldn't be cute in a dress? BOTHER TIME. Walking over with a smile.]

Pao-lin?

[action] at first I was gonna skip out but then I was like WAIT I HAZ EXCUSE FOR DRESSED-UP!PAO-LIN

[lightningcute]

[Pao-lin looks up from her book at the sound of Ace's voice, and gives him a very gentle smile.]

Hello, Ace! It's nice to see you.

[action] oh I am so glad you didn't

[hiken_ace]

It's nice to see you, too. Do you mind if I sit down with you?

[It's times like this he needs a vision dial for pictures. He is so surprised by this sudden change.]

[action] she is going to hide under a rock foreverrrr after this is over

[lightningcute]

Not at all! [She gestures at the empty seat across from her.] I don't mind the company.

[action] and then he'll probably try to cheer her up

[hiken_ace]

Thank you. [He takes a seat.]

So, why the sudden change in appearance? [And personality, it looks like.]

[action] and only succeed in making things worse

[lightningcute]

Ah... [She glances away a bit, seeming a bit wistful.] I...just thought it might be nice to try this, for once. My parents are always nagging me about not being feminine enough...

[action] no he wo-- yeah, probably :|a

[hiken_ace]

[Oh god. She's adorable. ;A;

He grins.] Well, I think you look pretty cute.

[action]

[lightningcute]

R-really...? [CUTELY UNSURE FOREVER.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[......she will never get to live this down.]

You look very nice, yes!

[action]

[lightningcute]

Aww, thanks...that's sweet of you to say.

[NEVER LIVING THIS DOWN.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[let him pinch your cheeks.] Glad to make you happy.

[action]

[lightningcute]

[Eeek, cheek-pinching!]

So will you be staying for food, or are you just dropping by?

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to join you for a meal.

[action]

[lightningcute]

I'd be happy to have you! [She gestures at the food in front of her -- some sweet croissants and a cup of tea.] I just got something to eat, so I'll be here for a while.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Thank you! [he looks at her food. EVEN HER DIET CHANGED.] You're just the picture of a young lady.

[action]

[lightningcute]

[LOOK OKAY JUST IGNORE THE PRETTY-LOOKING PINK AND WHITE FROSTING ON THE CROISSANTS, THEY ARE STILL DELICIOUS.]

Ah...th-thank you, I guess. [For a moment, something like discomfort and embarrassment crosses her face, but it flees as quickly as it came.]
