summer was officially over but that didn’t stop her from trying to hold onto her favorite season as long as possible. “do you think we could still find somewhere to go swimming?” she asked dreamily. considering she was trying not to visibly shiver in her tank top, she figured the answer would be no. as much as she knew it was time to say goodbye to summer, rachel was determined to make it last until the first snowfall. “are there any indoor pools around here?”

💘 + marchiiiie

something about march made rachel feel safe. with her mother constantly telling rachel about the awful things in the world, she seemed to develop an ever present sense of fear. with march, it disappeared. in all the fairytale books she read as a child, there was always a princess and the knight in shining armor who came to save the day. march was her knight in shining armor. when she would wake up in the mornings, shaken from the discoveries she had made before moving, she would instinctively reach for march. she wanted him to hold her and tell her that everything would be okay. she wanted to be there for him, too. he was so brash compared to her and there were things he did that she could never dream of. but she wanted to support him with her whole being. she wanted to love him. she did love him. it came as a shock at first. rachel had never imagined a world where the person she fell in love was so tumultuous. she had always imagined that a prince from a foreign land would come and sweep her off her feet and into a castle. the more she fell for march, the more she realized the fairytale romances were overrated. she loved march because he made every day different. he made her look at the world in a new light. with him, she was able to go and explore the world while feeling completely safe. after coming to emporia, she worried if she would be able to consider the town home. she realized that her home was with march, wherever that may be. 

Send me 💘 for my muse’s reaction to realizing they’ve fallen in love with your muse.

the promise of another day alone sounded good enough for march, but ice cream too? that was something he could get behind of, specially if rachel planned on saving some for him. now all he had to do was entirely commit to the situation and figure out a way to not overdose with glucose the moment he tried rainbow sherbet with yet cherries on top. “yeah, i’ve noticed.” he said, regarding her multiple favorites –– entirely ignoring how creepy that sounded. “…two is a big number. i usually only like mint chocolate chip, or you know, coffee.” march corrected himself, and a little smile even shined through for the girl to see. “hey maybe you could teach me more about ice cream later.” he joked, taking the ice cream with one hand as the other passed her his phone. “if you want…”

she would have to remember to come in extra early so she could make sure to save some for him. now that she had offered to save him some, she’d feel absolutely terrible if she wasn’t able to keep her word to him. “working here has changed my favorites a lot,” she let out a soft laugh. “i hadn’t ever even tried rainbow sherbet before i got here.” getting away from home had introduced her to a lot of new experiences in general. she grabbed his phone, ignoring the butterflies lingering in her stomach. “yeah, i can do that. i don’t know a whole lot about ice cream though, i’m sure there’s people who know more than me,” she said, only half joking. “but i can try my hardest! i’ll make sure to study up on ice cream just for you.” she was a nice person regardless, but she wanted to be extra nice to him. there was something about him that made her feel like she had made the right decision by coming to emporia.

violet’s eyes stayed wide as rachel continued to talk at her, nodding her head along as she kept track of everything she was being told. “oh, yeah, the sun is the worst when it comes to triggering migraines,” she replied, and shrugged. the nights were usually sleepless, and she ended up being awake at 3 in the morning bleary eyed, watching some old movie. “no, i just have insomnia,” she admitted. “nothing really special or wild. i just don’t really sleep.”

she tried to stop rambling so much. certainly she could be more concise. but still, she wanted to share all the details of everything important to her which was everything. “have you tried tea to help you sleep?” she began digging in her purse to find a notepad, “i can give you a really yummy recipe! it always helps me sleep, especially when i’m sick. it works when you’re not sick too.” her own ten hours of sleep were so important to her. she always felt so icky when she got anything less than eight. she couldn’t even process how someone could manage without getting sleep. “i can even make you some of my sleepy cookies! they have lavender in them.”

“I prefer the night.” Dewey replied, really thinking of why he chose the night. “At night my ideas work better, I can work better and I have more adventures because at night crazy things happen. That’s why I prefer the night.”

she nodded her head, intrigued by his answer. “what kind of adventures?” she asked wide eyed. “i always tried to go on night adventures when i was younger but i never got far. it was always far too frightening after the first ten minutes.”

listening to the pretty blonde talk was peculiar, the way she acknowledged the night the complete opposite of what most people would think. meg couldn’t help but stare at her with a quizzical eye, trying to figure her out, find if she was genuine. then again she was like that in general with most people she met, yet she was always biased in thinking everyone was bad from the beginning. “you’re kidding, right? things only start to get fun at night.” 

rachel knew her outlook on life could lead her to trouble. she always saw the good in people even despite her mother’s constant warnings that the world was full of evil and scary things. being in emporia was just helping rachel realize that none of that was true. “no, i never really got to go out at night. my mom usually wanted me home by eight,” she admitted. “i’ve always wanted to go to a nightclub though! have you ever been to one?”

hell peregrine was in love, plain and simple. it was a sensation she often claimed didn’t apply to her, but within hours on the job in emporia, that had changed. her usual crowd didn’t believe in that kind of shit, understandably so. so, she began to stick around the absolute most romantic at times. it had made her feel just a bit better about what a softy she was beginning to turn into. that was why, upon the first ten minutes of the hangout she’d insisted upon at mintz beach, she had blurted “what’s it like, being all sunshine and shit?”

@lyingsuns

for being the world’s biggest self proclaimed hopeless romantic, rachel had limited relationship experience. it wasn’t like she was given the opportunity growing up to truly fall in love anyways. she knew she loved her friends more than anything and emporia had given her so many new friends. “what do you mean?” she asked. rachel would never consider herself ‘sunshine,’ she was just a happy person. “like happy? i love being happy. there’s not enough time in the day to be sad,” she simply stated. “if i’m sunshine does that mean you’re moonshine?”

whipped as the heavy cream that decorated most sundaes, marco’s brain took a second to actually process what the blonde told him right then and there. “no mint chocolate chip.” he repeated with his gaze as wide as a child’s who had just understood the secrets of the universe. oh poor march, he truly needed to snap out of it or else he would keep making a fool of himself. “ –– oh, that’s your favorite?” he said, clearing out his throat. “sure, if you like it, i’m sure i’ll love it… rainbow sherbet.. it is.”

she nodded her head as he repeated what she told him. “we’ll have more tomorrow! you can come back and i’ll make sure to save some just for you.” it would be hard for her to not eat it herself but she wanted to make sure he got his favorite treat too. “i have a lot of favorites,” she stated in a childlike tone. “mint chocolate chip is my all time favorite,” she admitted. “rainbow sherbet is pretty so it has to be one of my favorites.” she smiled softly at him as she grabbed him a serving of ice cream while making sure to top it off with cherries. “some people think the cherries are weird with sherbet, but it’s really good!” she hoped he would enjoy his ice cream the same way she did. otherwise, she’d feel terrible about pushing the cherries on him.

this was it. the time had come for march to actually talk to a girl he liked. naturally it wasn’t the first time he had done so, but at empo… well, he hadn’t taken any chances so far. for the most part, mean girls were piquing his interest but then there was someone else. the girl at the ice cream parlor with such a beautiful smile, he couldn’t stop thinking of it or her dumb name tag. rachel. oh it made him nervous to even come up to the counter, but even so, he did. “um, hi –– hi. is there any chocolate mint chip left?” he asked through his thick british accent, hoping he didn’t come off as a creep, or not more than usual, that is. // @lyingsuns

some of her coworkers complained about the ice cream parlor, muttering under their breath how they wished they had gotten a job somewhere else. rachel couldn’t have loved her job any more. ice cream was such a pleasant thing and she loved seeing the smile it brought to people’s faces when she would sneak them sprinkles on the house. she offered her signature smile as he walked up to the counter. “uh,” she pretended to check the empty tub of ice cream. “no. the last person just got the last bit of it,” she wasn’t going to admit that she had gave herself the last bowl of mint chocolate chip. she was not immune to the temptation of the ice cold treats taunting her all day. “is there another flavor i can get you?” she asked. “rainbow sherbet is really good! i think that’s my second favorite.”

violet’s eyes widened– this high energy should be something she was used to. dash was her brother, after all, and that kid was the poster child for ADHD. she opened her mouth to respond, but her own thoughts were quickly overtaken by trying to keep up. “um, uh, night?” she replied, a little flustered. “i like night better. the sun’s too much sometimes.”

rachel was sure she was talking too much and being annoying. her mother never hesitated to make sure she knew when she had enough of rachel’s seemingly never-ending stories. “oh, i understand that! sometimes when the sun is ultra bright i get the worst migraines,” she said. “do you do a lot at night? i think a lot of the people here have more fun at night.” there had already been a handful of times where rachel wanted to go out at night but she was simply too scared of the things her mother had warned her about.

meg opened her mouth to answer the unprompted question, but before even a squeak could get out the girl was answering her own question. it perfectly reflected her thoughts on others and their inherently selfish behavior, whether they intended it or not, only speaking to other people for an excuse to speak about themselves. meg nodded along with the girl, not feeling the need to snip or be rude to the girl, who despite her speaking enough for the both of them didn’t seem like she intended to come off rude, she just seemed naive. “i’m more of a moon type of girl, you can actually stare at it without hurting your eyes.” she put her two cents in.

the best part of getting away from home was being around so many new people. there was once a time when she thought she would be stuck with the people in her limited social circle, now she had the whole world at her feet. everything was new and exciting. her excitement was already getting the better of her, but she couldn’t help herself regardless of how much she tried. “the moon is so pretty,” she mused. “i just wish the night was more fun. once it gets dark outside i don’t do as much. i’m lucky if i can even clean my dishes at night.”
