Session Start: Tue Oct 26 22:03:12 2004 [Friday, February 6, 2004] * Taki waits outside Haruko's fourth period having asked her earlier to have lunch with her today. * Haruko is slightly startled by Taki's prompt appearance. uh, I wasn't expecting you to be waiting for me. I... move fast. ^^; I'm sure.. So, to the lunchroom then? Yeah, I guess. That where you usually eat? I take my lunch to the roof... The roof is probably better... since you wanted to talk and all. The card club isn't meeting today, so I think it'll be pretty quiet. * Taki walks down the hallway. Do you bring your lunch or do you need to pick something up in the cafeteria? * Haruko shuffles along, not quite sure she trusts Taki. Brought my own. I usually do, unless I sleep late. Me too. I'm not really big on cafeteria food... Oh, the food here is better than some places I've been. * Taki leads the way to the stairwell heading up to the rooftop. Yeah, I'm a picky eater though. I like to know what goes into my food. Helps me stay healthy. Health is important.. Yeah... * Taki opens the door to the rooftop and heads over to her usual corner. Look, I'm sorry I yelled at you the other day. * Haruko walks over next to Taki, and leans on the railing, staring into the distance. It... It was a stressful time for me. It's ok, I guess. I know you have your thing. And I'm okay with that. Really. * Haruko glances over at Taki. You mean it? Yeah. It's not like I have any right to tell you how to be. * Haruko looks a little puzzled. Anyway, I think we got off to a bad start... I hope we can get along better. Yeah... * Taki sits down and opens up her obento. Today she has rice! And some fried egg. * Haruko has salmon roll and hot dog octopi! So that's why I wanted to talk to you. So I could apologize. I'd like us all to work well together. Working together is important! Cause you guys are the only friends I have... Yeah, it is. The Mystic Warriors had a tough time at first too. Especially when others lives depend on it. But they overcame it, and it looks like we might be able too as well. Yeah, of course. Cause we're heros. *smiles faintly* Or something. Exactly! * Taki eats quietly for a bit. Not sure the best way to avoid the subject of the warriors. * Haruko is quieter than usual, but still chatters on a bit about nothing in particular. So, um, what happened with your old team? I've never heard you talk about them. Oh, as far as I know they're still all fine. We don't talk so much any more, they all seem to be busy. Ah. You got along with them alright then? My team was nothing but problems for me... * Haruko mutters something under her breath. How so? Um... Well when I transfered to school over here, I was really quiet and I dressed funny. And there was this group of girls that always gave me shit for it. And that went on for a couple years, they were like the big popular girls in school, and I was just a nobody with no friends. How awful! I was the last one to realize she had magical powers, and those four girls, they were going to be my team. Ouch. Yeah... They only got worse after that. Since we were like forced to be together. They'd trick me into doing things saying they were my friends. I wasn't very social still, but after that I had trouble trusting anybody... I'm understand, but you have to realize not everyone is like that. Most people are nice if you just give them a chance! Yeah... I'm learning that now. I just don't want you to feel the same way about me. You're uh... nice. And I can deal with your stuff. * Haruko pats Taki on the shoulder. It's ok. Leila always tells me not to judge people to quickly. Yeah, that's one of those important life lessons they always tell us on TV. So no hard feelings? * Taki finishes eating her food. She was eating kind of quickly. * Haruko looks at her empty lunch box ... Haruko? Yes? No hard feelings, right? Ok. Okay. Please don't turn me into a puppy anymore. *teasing smile* Next time it'll probably be a guinea pig *wink* ... Please don't be serious. *crosses her fingers* We can only hope. [And... scene!]
