The sounds of the active animals could be heard metres from the entrance and Greta was excitedly skipping towards the elm tree in the corner. She was meeting her good friend Merry there, and she had some huge news to tell."Hurry up Mer, I can't wait forever you know" Greta mumbled softly to herself.
The sun shone down in the Oakland sky, and made the concrete path hot to the touch. Greta had dressed appropriately, a short black and white polka dot dress with red slip on shoes. Her black, messy hair was pulled up losely on the top of her head, strands had fallen out and were framing the soft features of her face. Just a hint of blush on her cheeks and she was complete, with her rosy red lips.

Merry's arms swung from front to back as her hazel eyes scanned the crowds. Little children pushed their dolls in strollers and loving couples held hands, cooing over the animals and how cute they looked. She rolled her eyes at the public affection but smiled nonetheless, a passing envy already gone. Their happiness was intoxicating. Merry had to find a way out.
Deflecting her glance away, Merry's converse cladded feet brought her to the resting area where parents regularly took their children for lunch. Wooden benches lined the courtyard, and a public restroom sat lazily not far off. Merry's eyes narrowed; even though there weren't very many people around, it shouldn't have been that hard of a task to find Greta. With the girl's everyday attire, it should have been a piece of---ah. There she was.
Spotting her friend, Merry smiled widely. "Greta!" she called, waving at her. She slowly jogged over to the girl and gave another grin as she stopped in front of the other girl. "I got your text, so what's up?"

Greta smiled sweetly at her hazel eyed friend. She was standing in the shade to hide from the heat of the searing sun. Greta picked at her long fingernails and blinked a couple of times to get used to the sunlight streaming through the leaves of the tree."Merry, you'll never get this. You know how my father died like whenever and he owned his record company right, well the man that took over him just gave me a chance to start recording my own cd! I know right, I was screaming my head off when I heard it too, I couldn't believe it"Greta rambled on, probably boring Merry with her enthusiasm or tiring her out at least.
She had bright smile on her face and with her screaming and hand waving, Greta was attracting attention to herself and Merry, even if she wanted it or not. She flung herself on her friend and wrapped her arms around Merry and suffocated her in a huge bear hug. Tears of joy were streaming down Greta's cheeks, to show her happiness to everyone.

As Merry heard the news that her friends practically screamed at her, a smile tugged at her lips. Her eyebrows lifted in amazement and she held out her arms to give a hug. "That's great," she said. She didn't exactly know how to react to the news; it was more surreal than anything else, but Merry was happy for her friend despite the fact that Greta was your typical teenaged drama queen.
As Greta's excitement began to attract attention, (Merry gave a nervous grin to the onlookers, mentally sending them a message that this kind of show of emotions was nothing to cause a disruption and that they should just butt out) she then suddenly flung herself on Merry, hugging her so hard that her ribs began to crack. Hacking with suffocation, Merry muttered out, "Greta... can't breathe...! Need AIR...!!"

Greta saw and felt that Merry was having trouble breathing from the lack of air that she was slowly cutting off from her friend. She loosened her grip slightly to let Merry take a couple of deep breaths, well some air she hoped. Greta's sparkling blue eyes glistened with happiness and excitement as she waved at the curious onlookers. She turned back to her friend and giggled sweetly."So yeah, I had to tell you in person rather than on the phone and my dying battery was a good excuse to call you and tell you to meet me. Anyway, how is my sweetpea sugarplum fairy doing? Greta had a thing for nicknames. Even if they are ridiculous.
She tilted her head and sighed at a pair of lovers, walking along and displaying a bit too much public affection. Greta had always wondered what it would be like to be one of them. She redirected her attention back to her hazel-eyed friend and listened intently.

Merry smiled at the nickname as Greta gave it. No matter how silly it was, she had a soft spot for it. In her book, Greta and only Greta was allowed to speak it aloud. If it were anyone else, it just would have been embarrassing. A small blush graced Merry's cheeks; ahhh, yes... only Greta could get away with something like that with her.
"Well, I want the first bootleg copy, OK?" said Merry with a sardonic smile, a kind of joking sarcasm dripping with every word. She giggled slightly. "I know a guy who knows a guy, you know?" Her smile was encouraging and the laugh lines at her eyes told that she was already having a good time. Even though Greta's style might not be her style, she was still happy for her friend and her potential music career.
"And I guess I've been doing OK..." she stated trailing off. Merry's eyes wondered around the grassy courtyard before they finally returned back to Greta's shocking cerulean eyes. "But when do you start recording? Within the next month or two?"
ooc: sorry for the lateness. i has been busy. :-(

"Um well, hopefully in two months I will be in the studio" Greta nodded and smiled brightly. She knew Merry was hiding something from her but she wouldn't talk about it anymore, at the moment at least. Greta wrapped her arms around her friend's shoulders and squeezed tightly. "Mwah, I love youu sweetpea sugarplum fairryyyy" She planted a sloppy kiss on Merry's cheek and giggled loudly.
