embarrassed if Annie found out. >,<

come to visit.

collapsed on the couch, window open and her TV still on. It was clear she was home.... and probably also clear that there were some less

than innocent things happening on her tv.

pauses when she hears the noises, going absolutely red in the face. Was that...Alicia and Sakura?

| That would seem like a good guess.... Until the women on screen start talking to each other in decidedly British accents. A-Alicia had

heard this book was really good but she didn't sit still well for a book if she didn't know she'd like it... so she watched the show first..

presses her ear to the door. Wait a minute...she knew this! It was that-- ...Why was Alicia watching this? She decides to enter without _

knocking.

wouldn't have heard her anyways. She is stretched out in front of the tv still, in a loose tanktop that's a bit twisted

and a very small pair of shorts.

hesitantly peeks around the corner. How dare she fall asleep watching this magnificent piece of work!

... IF the number of empty hamburger papers were any indication.... she fell asleep cause she ate too much.......

moves over to loom over her. She stares down at the other before sighing and pulling a blanket down over her. She leaves the present_

she brought by her head and goes to leave. She left the tape on.

isn't pleased the blanket.... and she's almost instantly too hot. She squirms and wakes up as Ann is leaving the room.

out the door all ready.

sees the present and turns, looking out the window and spotting her. "A-annie???" She fumbles to get the TV Off >///<

oblivious to her waking up. She's taking her time leaving though.

shouts after her, calling her back. W-why was she here >A>

pauses and looks back. Oh...Alicia woke up. "...?"

blinks at her. "... Um..... where ya goin.... and uh...." How much did you see you left something in here you know.... >////A////>

grins at her wickedly. "You were watching a good movie, huh Alicia? And I was just on my way to Maddie's." But she thought she would stop in

on her and see how she was doing.

blinks at her and goes red to her ears. "W-what a-are you talking about...? I-I'm not watching anything!" >//A//> "Y-you

just dropped by for no reason?"

rather likes that look on her. "That's right?"

embarrassed> "W-what'd you leave...?" she asks, looking at what Annie left behind...." >////~///>

amused. "What does it look like? A present.'

flushes. "Oh uhm. Were you gonna... uh ... watch me open it or just... wander off...." For once she was too embarrassed to match Ann's

sarcasm.

pauses. "Well you seemed busy."

flushes even darker. "I-I'm not b-busy at all...! I-I wasn't doing anything like I said...." You just happened to walk in on a sex scene,

she wanted to say but didn't.

| "I don't want to interupt your fun."

flushes even worse and looks a bit mortified. "W-what'dya mean....? Come on Annie...." It was probably an expression similar to the times

Annie caught her sneaking cookies... only... more embarrassing than that.

come to accept that she is grown up now. "Are you certain?"

nods. "Y-yeah so uh...." Please forget everything you just saw? That would only make certain that she'd remember so. "Want uhhh lemonade

or something?"

turns around and walks back. "That would be lovely."

flushes and turns the tv off, pushing her burger wrappers into a little pile before hurrying to fix her a drink. >///<

comes back into the house and takes a seat. She is amused that Alicia was watching that sort of thing.

brings her a glass. There's a lot of works from England that she liked--even some scandalous things...she just...didn't like for Ann to

know that...

would just think her tastes are getting better. "Thank you."

sits down and fidgets a little. "So uhhhh why were you goin ta see Maddy?"

blinks at that. "I told her I'd visit more."

tilts her head. "....oh... I see. Okay. That's cool."

nods. "She seems lonely." And so was she.

blinks. ".... Maddie's lonely? Why didn't she talk to me about it....?" D:

shakes her head. "I just said she seems lonely!"

looks a bit distressed anyways. "Oh....' 8(

looks around. "Have you told her about you and Sakura?" Honestly, Alicia hadn't even told her about them getting together.

blinks in surprise. ".... doesn't every one know?" Clearly she's not good with the communication thing.

snorts. "I didn't even know until late. Maddie doesn't know."

still looks more than a little surprised. "... Oh. I guess I should tell her? Huh...I figured you'd know though..." She puffs

her cheeks out and looks confused.

scoffs. "How is anyone supposed to know if you don't tell them?"

shrugs. "I dunno. Word about stuff like that kinda spreads quick. So I didn't even think about it." She noms a fry.

huffs. "Doesn't mean you can't formally tell your family."

blinks at her and has a strange expression-- torn between guilty and well, just confused. "... I didn't realize it was a big deal..." she

murmurs lamely.

rolls her eyes. "Of course it is!"

shrugs and eats another fry. "Well is that something you even, like, announce to people though?"

shrugs. "Unless you're trying to hide it."

shrugs. "I mean, I've never had anyone come to tell me they're dating someone. I usually just....find out."

pokes her nose. "Most people introduce their lovers to their family at least."

resists the urge to bite her finger. She turns a bit pink. "Lovers is such an embarrassing sounding work to hear you say." She shrugs. "But

still you know now so...?"

huffs a little at that. "And why is that? I still think you should invite Maddie and I for dinner with Sakura."

blinks at this and looks surprised. "Oh to like introduce you guys or something? But you already know her and stuff."

snorts. "That's not the point. It would just be nice to have it be formally said."

blinks at this and taps her lips. "Hmmmm I guess so...."

places her hands on her hips. "So you going to do it?"

tilts her head. "I guess. I like dinner and I like company so I don't see why not."

nods. "Very good. I will tell Maddie."

blinks. "I can tell Maddie. I like talking to Maddie."

shakes her head. "I am going over there now, remember?"

shrugs. "I can come with you. If she's lonely, two is better than one yeah?"

frowns a little at that. "I suppose if you want."

smiles at this. "Cool. We can pick up those donut thingies she likes." (Secretly, though, she liked picking up Timmies because she liked

them too, but she wouldn't tell Maddie that. You know, cause she's a bit of a jerk.)

blinks. "What?'

blinks back. "There's these lil donut hole things in Canada and she loves them. So I like to bring some when I visit."

didn't know this about Maddie. "Ah...well I suppose we can stop."

smiles at this. "We should. She'll be happy to see us for it I think."

nods. "Shall we go then?"

hops up. "Yes let's. That sounds great." >u<

starts for Maddie's.

starts out with her, humming happily enough.

looks to her. "Where is this place?"

laughs. "You'll see it. Lil place, smells like coffee and stuff. It's close."

wrinkles her nose at the mention of coffee. "Oh...well, I see."

laughs at this and hums happily, "Yeah great pastries there though."

enticed by that. "Maybe I will get some for myself."

smiles at this. "You should! It's good I promise."

nods. "Then I shall."

smiles and leads her into the Tim Hortons. "Good."

looks around curiously. It did smell strongly of coffee.

goes to order herself a coffee and lets her look at the pastries.

leans in, looking at the pastries. She finally decides on the scones.

hums and waits for the donut holes for Maddie, a coffee in one hand.
