"Well, I'll pay you back somehow. I wouldn't want this to be a lopsided deal."

-
[i]"When you find a way to do it, just give me the heads up."[/i]
-
"I will. Goodnight, Natalie. I think I need some sleep."
-
[i]"Alright, see you soon." Natalie would head into her own room, reading a book on her bed. The door was wide open though, in case she heard Star stealing her shit. [/i]
-
[i]Nothing was to be stolen as not every stranger is a thief.[/i]
-
[i]Nat doesn't know Star, therefore she is a suspect if anything goes missing. [/i]
-
Nothing went missing as Star would've woken up if anything entered the room.
-
[i]Right, well, it's your turn to make a legitimate response now. [/i]
-
Star would wake up at sun up, yawning and standing up from the couch. "Gooooood mornin'~!" She begins to do a few small stretches, cracking her joints.
-
[i]About fifteen minutes later, Natalie exited her room with a yawn. Five minutes would pass and she would be out of the washroom, teeth freshly brushed and face splashed with cold water to wake her up. She grunted towards the general direction of Star in a sleepy form of hello, and made her way to the shoerack by the door, throwing on a pair of leather boots to match her black leggings and tank top. She gave a small wave of the hand, almost as if beckoning for Star to come with her on whatever trip she was to make. [/i]
-
"Alright. You don't seem too talkative in the morning." Star walked out the door with no trouble.
-
[i]"Mmph." Natalie sloppily tied her laces, then she was out the door. She brought Star downstairs from the room and cut through the lobby, brushing her way towards a coffee shop in the downtown district of the city just a few blocks away. She ordered her usual (a French vanilla with a blueberry croissant) and exited the shop, sitting at a small table out front where she began to wolf down the food. [/i]
-
Star followed her all the way to the table and sat down on the other side of Nat with her own black coffee. "Now can you talk or are you still a zombie?"
-
[i]After a quick chug of her coffee and a rough placement on the table, Nat would gather herself once more. "Yeah... screw mornings." [/i]
-
"I can tell you're not a morning person..." Star giggled. "Cute. You remind me of a friend. He'd bash your head in if you tried speaking to him before he has had a cup of coffee."
-
[i]"You haven't met me on a Monday morning," Nat said in response. A light smoke arose from her hand, which was generating enough magical heat to keep her coffee scolding. "Tell me about this friend?" [/i]
-
"He's one of the fastest people I've ever seen. Bit hyper after he has had said coffee in the morning. Not like the cartoonish hyper, but the more energetic and go getter kind. He also may or may not have an extensive criminal record." Star sheepishly smiled. "A lot of my friends have records..."
-
[i]"You say that like I can judge them," Nat jokingly said. It was a statement loaded with truth, which could be easily discerned by the actions of yesterday. "I take it you know a lot of people who do awesome stuff often?" [/i]
-
"Awesome stuff? If that's what you want to call it....And yeah, I do. I know a lot of people like that. Despite being a goody toe shoes as they put it, I have done a few things myself." Star looked around before leaning in and whispering. "I j-walked a couple of times."
-
[i]"I think I need to call the police," she responded, a loud laugh joining her. She carried it for a few seconds and took a sip from her drink. "That can't be the worst thing you've done though, can it?" [/i]
-
Star got a bit uncomfortable and her face got real red as she sat back. "Uhh....I-I did one lil thing, but it wasn't what it seemed...." She sighed. "I'd rather not talk about it."
-
[i]"Awe, come on. I'll tell you something I did if you tell meee~" Natalie responded, her tone growing lighter and more friendly. She didn't know any Charm spells, though hopefully she could try to pry something out. [/i]
-
Star grinned a little, easily broken down by the pleading. "Fiiiine~. I slept with a judge during a tournement....I SWEAR I WASN'T CHEATING! He just...the lighting...that smile....ugh!" She slammed her face into the table and mumbled nonsense.
-
[i]"Ohoho, I like your style madam." Natalie chuckled in astonishment. She never would've thought Star would be the type to do something like that, despite only knowing her for a day. [/i]
-
"Thanks..." Star looked like she was about to cry, but hid it behind a smile. "That ruined my career."
-
[i]"Hey, at least you had fun, right? That's all that matters," Nat said, trying to help her hold back the tears as well as she could. [/i]
