Cordelia was perched on the window outside her home, leaning against the sill and looking up at the sky. She was definitely a morning person, and this was her favorite time of the day, when the sun was beginning to shine and nothing bad had happened yet. She was purposefully not thinking about the Cherry situation just yet. She'd think about it later.
As she heard someone's footsteps approaching, Cordelia leaned forward and looked down the street. When the figure drew closer and Cordy recognized it as Lottie, she gave a delighted little cry and leaped out of the window. She landed on her feet and quickly began sprinting over to Lottie.
She, too, was noticing the beauty of the morning--not something she had much chance to do at home when the beginning of her day was rushed to get to work on time--when she heard a small yelp and then running footsteps. Her eyes whipped around, thinking someone was in danger or hurt when she saw Cordy.
Her face broke into a bright smile and she waved excitedly, moving quickly to meet Cordy in the middle. God, it was as if she was 16 all over again. Lottie easily embraced the cheerful girl in a hug and squeezed.
With a delighted laugh, Cordelia threw her arms around the other girl. "I was hoping you'd be back soon! I had no one to talk to around here. Where were you, anyway? They said you went with everyone else to go explore the forest or something? I went down the road. I saw dead elves, did you see any dead elves?"
She pulled back to give Lottie a chance to talk, but she was smiling brightly.
"We went down the road too," she explained. "Just went down another fork." Lottie was about to tell Cordy about the centaurs when the dead elves pulled the smile from her face. "Umm, no," she blinked, speaking quietly now. "We met centaurs. But why were there dead elves?"
"What? Bret? But, oh." A pained look came over her face at the suggestion. It wasn't that she didn't like Bret; Cordy was right, he was sweet and adorable and probably would write her songs but she just couldn't. At least not in a serious sense! Bret was so far from her type, he was like, on the other side of the dating world to her.
And Lottie was pretty sure she was now the most horrible person for thinking these things, and she gave a pouting frown to her friend.
Cordelia turned to look at Lottie with a very solemn expression. "If you go out with Bret, I'll ask Hood to come along. We could make it a double date."
She assumed they had double dates in Third Earth. What could be more universal than the concept of bringing along another person to be a buffer for your own awkward situation?

"I think that would be ok," she acquiesced tentatively.

She paused.
"I'm not quite sure what people do for dates around here," she pondered out loud, "But it is going to be fantastic!"
She threw her arms around Lottie.
