I’ve been getting settled in my apartment, and spending time at the beach as usual. Surfing, bodysurfing, all that jazz y’know? aah, its nice to live by the beach again
Heh, I bet it is! With this weather, we should totally go hang out sometime!! I'd swim with ya if I could....but we could do other things, couldn't we? Like make a sand castle! Or sunbathe! =Grins=
Well, I managed to land a job in this area which is cool because I missed living close to the beach, and seeing you of course but most importantly.. =she paused for dramatic effect= … I got my G.E.D! And a Scholarship to a nearby college! I start next semester!
Oh its been so long! +She hugs her friend back in return, almost picking her up slightly+ Oh I missed you!! I had moved back home with my parents while I was getting my stuff together, I’m sorry I didn’t write, I’ve been super super busy… but guess what!
The Flareon was making her walk along the streets as she usually does, in her relaxed fasion as usual, when she saw a familiar face, smiled and crept up quietly to the charmeleon, and sliding her hands over her eyes "Guess who, dude~"
=Taken by surprise, Scarlett jumps a bit when the hands are placed over her eyes. However, upon hearing that familiar voice, Scarlett settles down a bit.=
No way….=Removing the hands from her face, Scarlett turns around, screaming in excitement at the sight of the Flareon= RENAE!! =She quickly hugs her old friend=
Adonis, we should totally go check out the flower conservatory sometime! I heard they recently got in a few rare flowers from all different parts of the world! =Smiles=
-happy excited pumpkaboo noises-
Yes we should!! I wanna see the flowers, winter was too long it’s time for flowers!~
Oh, nothin' much. How 'bout yourself?
Where ya are? Well, you're outside of the major regions, that's for sure! =She smiles and sticks her hand out= By the way, I'm Scarlett! It's a pleasure to meet ya!
((1. Probably her temper. She does get pretty bad when angry...
2. She does have one with speech, particularly with words ending in -ing! She'll pronounce them like "nothin'" or "somethin'", cutting off the g.
3. Scarlett has a bad habit of biting her lip and nails, to the point of bleeding. This normally occurs when she's nervous or stressed.
4. She has an addiction to jalapeno chips. She LOVES spicy foods. A bit too much, though.
5. ...Being too brutally honest with people.
6. Scarlett's had a few boyfriends, but at the moment she's still single. Though, she's crushing hard, haha.
7. When she was younger [about Middle school to early High school], she got into a fight she knew she had no chance of winning. She ended up having to be rushed to the hospital with a broken rib and quite a few broken bones in her hand.))
Seating herself at the dining room table, Scarlett stared blankly at the paper in front of her, reaching her hand for the ink pen close by. Trying to process the information and come up with the right words to say wasn't as easy as she thought.
"Guess I should head it like any regular letter...", the Charmeleon mumbled to herself, shifting her hand to the paper and willing it to move the pen.
I'm a twenty-one year old now, and I'm in my senior year of college! Time really has flown by. Once I get my Bachelor's, I'm planning on attending law school. I still can't say for sure when it happened, but I wanted to become a criminal defense attorney. Growing up, I always wanted to be a nurse or a doctor (especially when you got sick). Things change, though. We grow up, and those dreams we hold onto sometimes disappear into the past.
Pausing, Scarlett exhales a held breath. This was tougher than it looked, for sure.
Dad's living in the apartment buildings where I'm at, too. Don't worry, he hasn't remarried! He hasn't even dated anybody since you passed; he just says he isn't interested in anybody but you. As selfish as it is to admit, I'm sorta glad he never did. No one can replace you, Mom: we both know that. Daddy could never see someone else as his wife, and frankly I could never see someone else as my mother.
Silence fell upon the room as she swallowed hard. Her hand began to shake at the words that would come next, biting her lip as she carried onward.
....Daddy also told me the truth, about what happened to the island. The volcano suddenly erupted, leaving almost nothing in its wake. He said the shop barely made it out alive, but....the graveyard wasn't so lucky. I feel like such a damn idiot, Mom. I was so preoccupied here, I didn't even think once to check back in with Dad...
Setting the pen down, Scarlett's face immediately came to rest in her hands, bitter tears starting to stream down her face. She couldn't take knowing that what was left of her deceased mother was now gone forever. After a few minutes and roughly wiping her face with the back of her hand, the Charmeleon picked up her pen in an attempt to finish what she started.
I've met some wonderful people in my time here, Mom. I've made so many friends, and had so many experiences! I promise that one day, I'll go back to the island. I'll find where you were, Mom, and I'll make sure to tell you all about the wonderful time I've had! Maybe you're already watching my life unfold, but I promise I'll tell you! Just you wait!
I miss you so much, Mom. It's hard without you, but I hope that one day we can be reunited. If you are watching me, I hope yer proud of yer little girl.
"With Love, Scarlett....",she says as she writes with shaky hands and tears resuming down her cheeks. Unable to keep it in for much longer, tears begin to pour and loud sobbing can be heard.
Ooooh man, Summer's right 'round the corner! No more classes, and what's even better: the lovely weather we'll get!! I just can't wait for it! =Holds her potted germanium close, smiling and giggling over the wonders of Summer=
+Blows his nose loudly into a tissue, unable to breathe well+ The allergies aren't such a great thing, sweetie...
