Anna was still jumping up and down, cheering as the music continued. It was Anna's favorite genre: heavy metal. The lead singer was screaming into his mic and the guitar and drums were wild and loud. Anna could feel the bass from the speakers. The people surrounding her were headbanging to the music. The crowd began to sway and push up against each other. Anna felt someone bump into her. It was finally happening.

"MOSH PIT!" Anna screamed. "WOOOOOOOO!"

Misty didn’t play today so she had been making her way from stage to stage checking out every musician she could. A wide smile crossed her face when she saw Anna. She heard her newest best friend call out mosh pit. She pushed her way through the crowd of bodies that were moving like a wave. She gently bumped into Anna on purpose, careful not to go too hard. She didn’t have the best balance after all.

“Did someone say MOSH?” She asked standing in front of her friend.

"I'm trying to expand my musical palate!" he shouted to make himself heard over an ear-destroying drum solo. It was so loud he could feel the beat in the back of his throat, going all the way down to his stomach, making his body jitter slightly. He wasn't entirely sure he disliked that. "Do you... do you know who these are?" Berlioz certainly didn't.

[mistyxmorning]

Misty had been front and center to cheer her friends Shock and Bailey on, she barely heard him over the music. She looked over at him, he didn’t quite look familiar to her. But hell even after two years she was still meeting everyone. Being a rock musician for years she was used to near ear splitting volume. One thing she learned early was that ear protection was no joke. She reached into her pocket and extended a package pair of orange foam ear plugs, in case he wanted to be able to hear anything tomorrow.

“This is Prodigal Daughter” she yelled over the music.

“What do you think?”

Against better judgement, Smee had decided to get some nice fresh air on his day off, and go down to the pool for a hopefully relaxing experience. However, it didn't start off so great, as when he was walking over to a chair, someone running by slammed into him, and sent him floundering into the water.. "Why is it always me?"

Today was the kind of day that always recharged Misty. She loved Redwood Hollow, but most of the year she missed LA. She had been laid out working on her tan. She looked up just in time to see him flailing about in his loosing battle with gravity, to her credit didn’t laugh…loudly at least.

“Always you? You mean this has happened more than once?” She asked eyes sparkling with mischief.

“You want a hand or are you enjoying the pity party?” She asked her lips curling up into a smirk.

Cameron wasn't really sure what to make of this sudden invitation to go to Evangeline's. One thing was for sure, and that was that Cameron knew damn well Misty didn't just happen to have reservations. She would bet money on that. Still, it was kind of thrilling to be asked on a Valentine's day date. Of course, she was assuming, but felt that it was safe to do so, in this context. It had been a while since she needed to dress up for something, but she wanted to look nice. A dress was too weird, but jeans were obviously too informal.

Ultimately, she'd decided that black jeans were fine, and so she paired it with a black tank top and a red leather jacket. Formal and seasonally appropriate, yet still her. And of course, the black combat boots were a must. Once she was dressed, she grabbed her keys and headed out the door. Meeting at the restaurant had made sense when they originally agreed, though she was sort of wishing now that she'd offered to pick Misty up. Ah well, she thought as she got in her car and headed over.

Misty had spent most of the afternoon tearing through her closet trying to find something to wear. What does one even wear to a valentine's day date at a fancy restaurant with a woman who you aren't even dating. Before she could second guess herself too much, she chose a pair of high waisted black flowy pants, a lace tank top with a red silk button down shirt. She put the outfit on opting to tie the front of the shirt instead of buttoning it. She wore her hair down in its usual beachy waves. She paired the outfit with her black Doc Martens. She had gotten her nails done the day before, a rich shiny dark oxblood color which she matched with her lip stain of the same shade.

Truth be told, she was nervous. She'd been on dates before, many dates even. But this was Cameron, her friend who she had been orbiting around like a nervous gay satellite for months. Before she could overthink it, she finished getting ready and headed off to Evangeline's to meet Cameron.

[cameroncxrter]

Cameron had pulled up to Evangeline's a little before seven. She texted Misty that she was here, and was going to go in and wait for her. Hopefully she'd gotten there first, but she had to assume so, since she had texted first. It was a bit cold out, seeing as it was February, but she managed her way inside perfectly fine. The restaurant was gorgeous, inside and out, and definitely packed. Luckily it didn't feel overwhelming, though, which was good. Once inside, she checked her phone for the time again, and sat down to wait, not wanting to be in the way of other parties who were ready to be sat.

It didn't take long before she looked up and saw Misty walking in. At first, Cameron smiled, happy to see her. Then she realized what Misty was wearing, and couldn't help but drop her jaw a bit. "Wow... you look amazing. Now I feel significantly underdressed," she chuckled.

[mistyxmorning]

Misty had been standing off to the side of the host stand near the front doors of Evangeline’s. She turned when she heard Cam’s voice. Her face immediately lit up as she turned to Cameron.

“Hey yourself” she said with a smile.

“You look great” she said tucking a strand of hair behind her own ear.

She walked over to Cameron and wrapped her in a hug. Before turning to the host stand and giving her name.

[mistyxmorning]

Misty was waiting for her caffeine fix at the Enchanted Rose Cafe, half paying attention scrolling on her phone. She grabbed her Latte and was leaving the line when she stopped dead in her tracks, the vibe had shifted just slightly. She looked up and saw the mistletoe hanging above her. Who still does that, wait is that actually real?

When her eyes descended she realized she wasn’t the only one under it, a slow smirk blossomed. Her eye brow raised “Feeling festive?” She asked.

@happieststarters

[ellasweetfontainex]

Ella chuckled softly as she stood beneath the mistletoe with Misty, the faint glow of twinkling lights reflecting in her eyes. She leaned in and brushed a quick, affectionate peck against Misty’s cheek, lingering just long enough to make the moment feel special.

“Of course,” she said with a fond shake of her head, her smile turning tender. “My daughter absolutely adores Christmas. The decorations, the stories, the magic of it all… I just don’t have it in my heart to tell her I’m Santa yet.” Ella let out a quiet laugh, almost sheepish. “I think I’m going to wait one more year. Let her believe a little longer.”

She studied Misty’s expression for a moment before tilting her head, curiosity softening her voice. “What about you?” Ella asked gently. “Do you look forward to spending Christmas?”

@mistyxmorning

[mistyxmorning]

Misty hadn't expected it to be Ella next to her, though she was not disappointed. When Ella kissed her cheek a slow smile bloomed on her lips, more genuine than the flirty one.

"Festive indeed" Misty remarked. "Hey Ella" she said softly. When she spoke of Dandelion, she softened.

"Yeah you totally have at least another year? How is Dandelion doing?" she asked. "Is she interested in music lessons? I do kids lessons too" She said. She pondered what to say, she really didn't have holiday plans. It's the second holiday season since her mother passed; in truth she was still unsure on what she was doing. " No plans yet, still playing it by ear" she said breezily.

Anna stood outside the amphitheater, waiting for Misty to arrive. Today was the day that Anna was going to teach Misty how to ice skate. It was the perfect time of the year to do so too. It was a week before Christmas and Anna was using up all of her PTO. Yet, she still ended up back at her place of work anyways. Anna figured since Misty wasn't familiar with the amphitheater, that she would wait for Misty. It started to lightly snow outside. Anna was already prepared for the weather. She was dressed in a blue puffy jacket, a purple scarf, and an orange fuzzy beanie.

Anna was really happy to make a new friend like Misty. She never had a close friend to just casually hang out with before. Anna watched as Misty walked up the steps to the amphitheater. "Misty!" she called out, running up to her. Anna gave Misty a big hug then pulled away. "I know it's been like two months but are you ready for some ice skating lessons?"

@mistyxmorning

[mistyxmorning]

Misty pulled into the parking lot, music bumping from her speakers. she took her shades off and grabbed her bag and got out of her car. She had just hopped out of her car when she heard Anna call out to her.

"Hey girl" she called back playfully with a bright smile. She wasn't sure she was dressed appropriately for ice skating. She wore jeans, doc martens, fluffy socks and a t-shirt under her green jacket.

"I'm just realizing now I don't own any ice skates, do you have any for rent?" she asked.

"How have you been?" she asked giving Anna a hug.

hc + 🧡 for a friendship-themed headcanon

She had trouble expressing affection in ways that didn't come off as flirting. Misty is the kind of friend who will do something to express her care for her friends. and if they make a big deal out of it she will brush it off and make a joke of it. She is 100% the type of person to spend hours sorting a 3LB bag of M&M's removing the red and orange ones because a friend is allergic to red dye.

"Evangeline's is taking reservations for Valentine's day! Everyone who comes will get a complimentary dessert, so, make sure you tell your friends."

@happieststarters

[mistyxmorning]

"Kronk" Misty said with a fond smile as she walked over sitting at the table with her best friend, "Just the man I was looking for." she said smile growing. "I need a table for two for Valentines Day and for you not to say anything weird about it" she said with an eyebrow rand finger raised. "What kind of dessert?" she inquired.

[ 🦇 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat is a fear they never talk about ?

Misty fears losing sight of the right thing. She is a big proponent of justice; her biggest fear is being swayed or making decisions that place her in the same categories as those she opposes.

❝ i don't usually talk this much, it just feels easy to say stuff when you're listening. ❞ (Arthur)

Misty prided herself on being a good listener. You never know what you will learn if you simply let people speak. All that being said she had a growing fondness for Authur. He had ambitions and drive and those were two qualities that she really respected. "You have some interesting ideas" she responded.
