could be you and her
I mean, yeah.
Now if only I could get a couple extra inches :{
You could pull it off in heels.
You wouldn't mind me wearing heels?
Not in the slightest.

[He hears a motorcycle pulling up and a girl. A year younger. With a post-it in her hand she looks up at the house. She takes off the helmet. It is black with cat ears. Her gloves have paw-pads in them. Pink leather for them. She has the same eyes. A birthmark like a scar... it is too familiar]
[He glares down at her before going to the door.]
[She walks up and knocks. She seems nervous]
[He ignores it for about a minute before finally opening it.]
What do you want?
[She shifts back and forth on her feet]
I'm looking for an umm...
[She looks at her note]
Emerson. I think.... Is that you?
Who's asking?
Cassandra Jules. I think your my brother...
[Her eyes meet his. They were identical in color]
[He narrows his eyes. He doesn't seem particularly pleased about this.]
Half brother more like it.
If you want to talk, you can't do it here.
[She nods]
I know a diner in town.
[She seems nervous despite how she looks on the outside]
Are you comfortable with talking now or later?
Let's do it now.
Are you good riding?
[Sje points at her motorcycle]
Sure.
[She puts her helmet down. She sits and waves him over]
[He sits down behind her and holds on.]
[She drives fast and reckless. He hears her giggling under the mask as she weaves through traffic.]
Hold on!
[He holds on tight.]
[When they get there she is laughing)
Have fun?
[Sje takes off her helmet and another biker. An old man with a long beard grins and pats her head as she passes she looks at Emerson]
That's Mike. He's like a dad to me. Sweetest dude.
[She leads him in]
[He bristles at the older man.]
Mhm. Sure.
[She sits and a waitress hands them menus.]
Order something. I'm paying
Is this a place you go often?
[He scans the menu.]
After classes. All the damned time.
[She looks at him and smiles]
I'm i'm really glad you didn't tell me to fuck off.
I was scared I ain't gonna lie
It's just meeting you one time.
[He doesn't look at her, instead laser focused on the menu.]
It's better to sate your curiousity now then have you keep asking questions in unsafe places.
Did you ever meet our father?
True.
And i'll be out of your hair if you wish.
[She hums softly]
True.
Ah- no. Hell I never met my mother. I was abandoned.
You got lucky.
I heard he sucked so much ass
Worst man alive in the city.
What's your regular here?
BLT with turkey bacon and sweet potato fries
Why sweet potato?
Their normal fries suck.
But their sweet potato ones are crispy
That's unfortunate. I think I'll have the same thing as you.
Hell yea
[She fist-bumps him]
Soo kitty too?
Yeah. Leopard.
Wish I got the bird side of things though.
Bird?
Ah. I'm a rusty spotted cat.
My mom was an electro-energetic
Yeah, bird.
Huh. Interesting. I think I remember that one.
She was a coke head apparently
Yeah.
....
Hey... you don't... hate me do you?
I mean it just showed up out of nowhere trying to form a relationship
I don't hate you, but I also don't like you.

[He bristles at the older man.]
Mhm. Sure.
[He hears a motorcycle pulling up and a girl. A year younger. With a post-it in her hand she looks up at the house. She takes off the helmet. It is black with cat ears. Her gloves have paw-pads in them. Pink leather for them. She has the same eyes. A birthmark like a scar... it is too familiar]
[He glares down at her before going to the door.]
[She walks up and knocks. She seems nervous]
[He ignores it for about a minute before finally opening it.]
What do you want?
[She shifts back and forth on her feet]
I'm looking for an umm...
[She looks at her note]
Emerson. I think.... Is that you?
Who's asking?
Cassandra Jules. I think your my brother...
[Her eyes meet his. They were identical in color]
[He narrows his eyes. He doesn't seem particularly pleased about this.]

[She nods]

[She seems nervous despite how she looks on the outside]

[Sje points at her motorcycle]
Sure.
[She puts her helmet down. She sits and waves him over]
[He sits down behind her and holds on.]
[She drives fast and reckless. He hears her giggling under the mask as she weaves through traffic.]
Hold on!
[He holds on tight.]
