“Want to go stargazing?” for Holly & Aiden

[dragcns-den]

Kiki energetically dances down the hallway, bedazzled headphones on her head and sparkly phone clutched in her hand. Unapologetically singing along loudly to the upbeat pop-song blasting from her headphones, she almost passes by the smooching room without even giving it a single glance... Almost. 

Abruptly screeching to a halt when another song disrupts her own, she looks around with confusion. Taking her headphones off so she can hear the music better, she mutters, “Where the hickity-heck is that tune coming from?” Following the sound, she walks over to the door of the smooching room and peers through the window. Eye widening when her gaze lands on what appears to be a party, she shoves her phone into her pocket and heads over. After all, who in their right mind would pass up a party? Especially, one being held on the Skullship... Although she hasn’t been on the ship for long, Kiki is pretty sure that parties aren’t a regular occurrence. She better take advantage of this opportunity. 

Luckily, she knows exactly how to enter a party...

“THE PARTY HAS ARRIVED B*****S!” Kiki yells out shamelessly as she bursts into the room, arms outspread and her freckled eyelid forming a cheeky grin.

Nailed it...

Kiss 16 -Aiden (like that one that Mitzy did that one time where she poked him)

(Ask Meme)

Mitzy looks up with surprise when she feels someone poke her cheek. Her face still streaked with tears, she blinks a few times to try and clear her vision. She could have sworn that no one else was around… Of course, sobbing into her knees does make it hard to hear when people are approaching. A small sigh of relief escapes her when she sees that it is Aiden. But why had he poked her?

Slowly raising a hand to her cheek, she suddenly realizes the meaning behind the gesture. A small smile forms on her face as she wipes her tears away with her arm. “T-thank you Aiden…” She says, looking at him gratefully. Although her eye is still slightly moist with unshed tears, none seem to be about to fall.

A letter is silently folded and put into her skirt pocket, before she stands up with a shaky breath. Of course, worry still crashes around inside of her like a wave. Her dad’s last job had been a setup… A snake in the grass, someone had turned on the group. Squealing to the authorities like a pig. Although her father and a few of his colleagues had gotten away, the cops are closing in fast. Like hounds on a hunt, they finally have a whiff of his scent and they don’t plan on stopping until their prey is caught. He doesn’t know when he’ll be able to send another letter…

Without warning, Mitzy wraps her arms around Aiden and hugs him tightly. Closing her eye, she buries her face in his shoulder. Even though Aiden doesn’t know what is going on and she can’t tell him without causing even more trouble for her dad, quietly hugging him helps her feel better. Feeling his warmth, his breathing… Just knowing that he is her friend and he is with her right now, brings her more comfort than she ever thought possible.

She gave him a delighted nod. “Yeah, I love bugs! (she did not catch the “lady” portion) Such cute little critters! BUT! They’re not my favorite. My favorite is-” Aubrey suddenly froze and looked very nervous and panicked. She stared at her hands as if they would give her the answer. She did not know the sign for her favorite animal. To some this isn’t a big deal, but this seemed to matter a great deal to Aubrey. She then stared at William wondering if he could help her out.

Mitzy quietly stands by the door of the smooching room, taking a few deep breaths to try and calm her frantically beating heart. ‘Why am I so nervous? It’s just a slumber party... Plus, its being hosted by my friends!’ She thinks, twiddling her fingers and briefly glancing down the hallway. She can’t help but acknowledge that there is still time for her to leave... No one has noticed her yet. It would be incredibly easy for her to turn around and return to her cubby. The watchdog takes a hesitant step away from the room, before releasing a heavy sigh. 

She can’t... Even if she did go back to her cubby, Mitzy knows that she would just end up tossing and turning all night. Awash with guilt as she wonders whether or not Aiden and William are upset that she didn’t attend their party. She can’t risk hurting their feelings...

“Alright... I can do this. Just open the door and step inside...” Mitzy mutters to herself, hand trembling as she reaches for the door. Slowly opening it, she shyly peeks inside and glances around the area. Immediately seeing William and Aiden, she briefly wonders who she should talk to first. “William seems pretty busy...” She says, carefully closing the door so that it will only let out the slightest click as it closes. Despite the music being more than loud enough to drown out the sound of a door closing normally, Mitzy can’t help but be cautious. She never wants attention drawn to her when she enters a room... So, opening and closing doors quietly has become a force of habit.

Taking a deep breath, she then turns around and gives a small wave to Aiden as she walks over. “H-Hi, Aiden...” Face blushing because of the slight tremor that had slipped into her voice, Mitzy lets out an embarrassed giggle before adding, “Hehe... I um... I really like your pajamas!” Her own pajamas are adorned with cute cartoon dogs, along with different colored paw prints sprinkled in between them. The buttons that go up the long-sleeved shirt are shaped like paw prints as well. Instead of being on her bandana, Mitzy’s mint-green heart pin is stuck to the collar of her pajama shirt.
