Text It, Type It, Write It - Just Ask! (Avi)

[Lucy Holiday]

Lucy slammed her bedroom door shut and flopped down in her desk chair. The announcement was totally haunting her. It was time for the usual stupid cupid dance. At least that's what Lucy used to call it. But not this year. This year the thought of going put butterflies in her stomach and a blush on her cheeks. It wouldn't be the first year that she just went with her bff - Avi. But it would be the first year that she wanted Avinea to actually be her date. Her holding hands, dance with me...maybe even kiss me in public DATE!

One big problem! She and Avi had never actually settled the whole relationship status thing. They had just you know - confessed their feelings and made out before going back to normal. Only, things weren't normal any more. Things were so much better than normal. So, that meant this year required an actual formal invite...but who should ask who?

That question bounced around in her head as she booted up the computer. As soon as the stupid machine was up and running, Lucy signed in on her screen name and looked for Avi. Yes! She was online!

Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/size] *pokes* Hiya, Avikins! Whatcha doin?

[Avinea Jale]

She had heard the announcement and she was jittering. She hadn't really gone to the dance before but this year was different. she had a... girlfriend. Or a best friend? She still wasn't clear on what actually happened in that aspect.

Basically they had confessed and kissed. But after that... well they were still kind of at a standstill. It was all back to normal, well sort of and Avis till wasn't sure what was going on. She figured they had better go to the dance this year... together.

The question had arisen though that she wondered who was going ask who. Avi was on her laptop looking at pretty dresses for the dance as she saw her IM's pop up. Smiling she looked at the screen.

Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:*moves from poking*
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:*smiles*
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: Looking at stuff...
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: You?

[Lucy Holiday]

It was funny how just the thought of Avinea's smile made Lucy grin. It always had. Lucy had just never realized why until recently. Lulu tugged at the sleeve of her purple sweater and nibbled on her lower lip. Hell, she was doing just about every nervous habit. Lucy had a lot of nervous energy stored up since the kiss. Kiss...kiss...kiss...ack! It was all Lucy could think about. With a smirk on her lips she finally replied.

Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] Oh...you know...nothing..
Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size]just sitting here wondering -
Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size]what flavor gloss you wearing today? *wink*

Lucy sat back and snickered as she pictured Avi's face reading the last little bit.

[Avinea Jale]

Avi grinned. Lucy always made her smile. Even when they were a few rooms away she was able to be smiling. though as the IM popped up again Avi just about dropped her cookie. She didn't mean anything by that ... did she?

Breezy. Dragon. Dancer.: What flavor do you think I'm wearing?
Breezy. Dragon. Dancer.: Why?

Avi certainly hoped it wasn't that... because she didn't want to think about the kiss again.. she wouldn't be able to stop.

Breezy. Dragon. Dancer.: hey what color do you think looks best on me?

[Lucy Holiday]

Lucy's fingers tapped on the top of her desk as she waited for a response. The one she got made her nose wrinkle. Lucy pouted. Her flirting had fallen flat. Apparently flirting with a girl was a lot more complicated than flirting with a boy. Or maybe the fact that she was flirting with her best friend was what complicated things. Any guy would have totally gotten the point. With a sigh, she shook her head. Oh, Avi.


Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] I was hoping for cherry.
Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size]I think you know why...

There that should get her point across! Thinking about the Avi's last question, Lucy shot back a quick answer.

Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size]Hmm...you can carry off anything, but blue is my fav...

[Avinea Jale]

Lucy's response was anything but expected. Why in the world....oh...Avi blushed and shook her head. She didn't know what to say. this was weird and Avi didn't know what to do. this whole thing was confusing.

Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:...
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer(>.<"))

Oh no... What could she say to that. Avi wasn't good at flirting and especially not over the the chat. Most people got braver over the internet. Avi got shyer.

Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:-blushes-
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: thank you..
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: It certainly is my favorite color.

[Lucy Holiday]

Lucy stared at the screen. Oh, that was wonderful! What was that? Was she creeping Avi out? Did Avi want her to back off? At this point Lucy was confused to the point that she did an actual facepalm! Yep, face in her hand - head shaking. The frustrated girl let out a sigh as she regrouped.

Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] *pokes*
Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] You're cute when you blush. :-p
Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] Sooooo...are you dress shopping or something?

Groaning, Lucy felt pretty lame as she sent the last message. This was so much harder than she thought it would be!

[Avinea Jale]

She didn't know what to say! or type! This whole thing was.. different and she didn't know what to do. She stared at the screen and hoped she was going to be able to keep herself afloat during this conversation. Oh great what was she going to say to that?


Breezy.Dragon.Dancer.:-blushes harder-
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer.:Thanks...
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer.:*nods*
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer.:The Valentines Day Dance is coming up....
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer.:I found a few I liked...
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer.:Do..Do.Do you have plans?...
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer.:...

[Lucy Holiday]

Lucy nibbled her lower lip a bit more as she waited. To keep herself from totally bouncing out of the chair to pace, she stared at her fingernails and thought about what color she should paint them next. Just then, Avi's reply came. Lucy grinned. Avi had taken the bait!

Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] Haha! I made you blush harder!
Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] *snickers* I'm so the bomb....

Wait for it...wait for it...make it seem casual.

Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] Oo...um...yeah...I saw the poster this morning...
Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] I dunno. We usually hang. Are we gonna do that again this year...or...you know....

Lucy left it hanging and sent the message before she chickened out. Ok. This time she had to get up and pace!

[Avinea Jale]

God this was nerve wracking. Avi twirled the small bout of wind that was in the room around her finger, showing her nerves to the max. She stared at the screen not sure what was going to happen but she hoped that Lucy wasn't going to have plans. Not that Avi had plans either of course.

Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:-blushes harder-
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:Well
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:No argument there
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:As long as you don't splode in my face
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:XD

OH shoot... now what??

Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:You did?
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:I guess we could...
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:but...


Avi didn't know how to go about wording this but she knew if she didn't spit it out now it wouldn't happen


Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:Wanna go with me?
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:As..well
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:As A
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:As a Date?

That's it Avi's nerves were shot. Did she really just ask that? The winds in the room picked up in accordance with her nerves. "Please say yes..." Avi whispered as she looked down at the screen. Hopefully she would.

[Lucy Holiday]

The little bit of humor that Avi shot back at her caused Lucy to chuckle. Now that was more like their usual conversation. She was glad to see that Avi was joking back.

Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] *giggles* I promise...
Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] no 'sploding on my Avi. *nod nod*

Despite the giggling, Lucy's nerves were still twisting around in her stomach. As soon as she dropped the hint about spending Valentine's Day together, the nervous girl shot up out of her chair and began pacing back and forth in front of the computer desk. As soon as the computer chimed at her, Lucy froze in her tracks. She flopped back down in the chair and yelped as it began to roll away from the desk. Her fingertips clawed at the keyboard tray to keep her from zooming all the way across the room. Smooth...real smooth. Lucy shook her head and read the screen eagerly. Oh no...but. But? Did Avi already have plans with someone else?

In shock, Lucy's fingers hovered over the keys as she tried to figure out what the hell to say. Before her brain could wrap itself around words, Avi's screen name popped up again. Shock turned to sheer glee. "Yes! Yes! Yes! Booyah!" Realizing that Avi couldn't hear her, Lucy's fingers began to type frantically.

Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] YES! YES! YES!
Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] ahem...*blushes* I mean, that would be awesome.

And now Lucy totally understood the term floating on cloud nine.

[Avinea Jale]

Avi smiled. Maybe she could do this!

Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:Good... I don't particularly like aslploded Lucy's.
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:I prefer them whole
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:much easier to be around I think.

OH gosh why was Lucy taking so long?? was she intending to torture Avi? Was it something that she took joy in? Because Avi sure didn't like it. She rather Lucy just tell her yes or no, that would have been better then this. This whole feelings thing and not knowing what to do and not having a clue. This was seriously nerve wracking!

Avi felt the winds coming up around her, knowing that they were what they were mostly because of her nerves. Papers were blowing everywhere by now and Avi was having trouble concentrating. Then she saw the words flash across the screen.

Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: -blushes then biggrins- ok then...
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:Do you want to go dress shopping?
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:-smiles-
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer:Ill see you later?

Avi was now blissful.

[Lucy Holiday]

Lucy giggled and shook her head.

Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] Agreed! Exploding Lucy not good!

The grin on her face almost reached ear to ear as the matter was settled. Lucy was pleasantly surprised. She had expected that she would have to be the one to ask. Lucy was still doing a happy dance in her head when Avi's response popped up on her screen.

Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] Big grinning right along with ya!
Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] Oooo ... yes! Pretty, pretty dress shopping together, please.
Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] Hmmm...but no final pick together. Just finding choices. I want the final pick to be a surprise!
Lulu.Warrior.Princess:[/b][/size] See you soon?

[Avinea Jale]

Avi had to smile at the semi balance of what normal should be.

Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: So we are in agreement then.
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: Besides, a whole Lucy is much easier to hug
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: *cough*
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: Not to mention do other things to
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: *cough*

Did she really just type that? Oh crap. Avi wished there was a delete post button. That wasn't right and she was blushing like crazy. This whole thing was new to her, completely and utterly new. and it was weird.

Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: -licks-
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: ok~
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: Mall or a trip to Burlington?
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: Also can we invite Stella?
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: she needs to get out more and I would like her to meet you
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: If that's ok?
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: All right. We have that double date with Odion and Rhett later...
Breezy.Dragon.Dancer: Promise to behave ?
