Sugar Cane Carnival [Amanda]

[Amanda Dupomme]

Amanda gazed quietly through the window: the darkening city. All the while relaxing contentedly. Simply happy to relax, she allowed her tea to slowly cool down. As she felt Seria grasp her hand: the Kalosian girl smiled: squeezing even closer.

''You really are quite poetic, aren't you?'' she giggled, gently resting her head against Seria.

As the sunset slowly faded to darkness: the streetlights flickered, illuminating the streets. One by one slowly bathing the district in a pale glow: streetlights and signs adjusting as well. While the daytime view and sunset were beautiful: Amanda couldn't wonder how the modern nightlife was just so breathtaking.

''What do you suppose happens next?'' she pondered.

[Seria Floria]

Seria felt Amanda rest her head against her own form, and her blush intensified ever so slightly. She did not say anything in response to Amanda when she mentioned that she was 'quite poetic,' instead opting to let the silence mark the moment as the time changed from the afternoon to the night, and when the sun had set completely, the streetlights turned on gradually, creating a bright illumination in the outside that could only be accomplished under the cover of darkness. It was then and there did Amy end up asking, 'what do you suppose happens next?' Seria pondered this for a moment. To be honest, she wasn't entirely sure how to continue the story. But then she got an idea.

"Hmm... That's a good question..." Seria did giggle though. "But while I am not entirely sure, I do believe that stories can have more than one storyteller, dear!" Seria beamed as she continued to keep an arm around Amanda.

[Amanda Dupomme]

Amanda genuinely pondered what the other girl had said: holding Seria close for comfort. ''Mais, I suppose we would have to write this little story together then, would we not?'' she smirked: sticking her tongue out at Seria in a rather silly, but decidedly unladylike fashion. She was feeling relaxed: enough that being a little sillier than normal seemed like a fine thing to do.

''It would depend... perhaps, the two girls could simply relax and cuddle. Perhaps: they could return to their dorms...'' she sounded less thrilled about the second one. ''Or, perhaps they could continue to enjoy each others company, culminating in their first kiss!'' She giggled: half-joking about the final idea. Wouldn't it be fun though?

[Seria Floria]

Seria found herself giggling when Amanda stuck her tongue out at Seria. It was silly, innocent, and quite unlady-like, but being able to see that quality of being relaxed and playful added to the allure of Amy's normally refined and elegant demeanor. Seria continued to smile and blushes faintly once more when Amanda mentioned they would have to write this story together. It made her heart skip a beat again. And so, Amanda continued to utter out loud the various possible scenarios that could play out - continuing to relax and cuddle in this moment, or... a boring outcome, in which they returned to their dorms, or lastly, to draw out this moment... and culminate in... their first kiss?!

Seria blushed profusely as Amanda mentioned this, the latter even giggled, and so it must have been meant as a half-joke, but even so, jokes on their own are always half-serious! Filled with emotion, Seria ended up gently pulling Amanda into a gentle hug. "They could indeed continue to enjoy each other's company... And whether it does culminate in their first kiss or not would be determined by the feelings of the two lovely girls, wouldn't it~?" Seria giggled.

[Amanda Dupomme]

Amanda happily accepted the hug: holding Seria close. Smiling at the giggly reaction of the lovely dark haired Nature dormer. She didn't feel anxious: rather, just very comfortable. There was something accessible about Seria: she was so relaxed and happy. Amanda couldn't quite understand why she exhibited traits of disliking herself. There was nothing to dislike! It wasn't quite as simple as that: of course. Amanda knew from experience how judgmental people could get under your skin and influence you.

Snapping herself from her thoughts and with a blush on her face: she gazed at Seria. ''I suppose the feelings would decide something like that... although from where I stand... I think at least one of the two girls would indeed like that...''

[Seria Floria]

Seria pulled herself away from Amanda a little bit to give her some room, but her own arms were still placed on Amanda's shoulders. Their gazes met one another at this point, both girls must have been blushing. Though, Seria was typically relaxed and happy, now she was... Well, she was still happy, but her relaxed expression was less emphasized as it seemed to be that Seria now was more much softer and subdued, her intense yet innocent gaze upon Amanda's face enough to make even her own self blush... Seeing Amy up close like this was truly wondrous. As Amanda said her piece, Seria had a sincere grin on her face. It certainly wasn't exaggerated, either.

Soon, Seria gently placed her own forehead against Amanda's, their faces drawing closer to each other. "Teehee. And I think the other girl would like that, too..." Seria simply said, quietly, but certainly relaxed and with a gentle quality to it.

[Amanda Dupomme]

Enjoying the cuddle: Amanda's light blush became a full scale scarlet bloom as Seria placed her head against her own, saying what she had said. Amanda's heart skipped a beat, her mind racing with various thoughts and possibilities and ideas. She had never kissed a girl before: she liked them, she found girls pretty and she never felt bad about liking them. But this was the first time she had. To actually do anything. It was overwhelming. Although: despite her jumbled thoughts. Seria looked so relaxed and serene: Amanda felt herself calming down again. Whatever happened would happen: she wanted it to.

Closing her eyes slowly: Amanda leaned in, and planted a soft kiss on Seria's lips.

[Seria Floria]

Seria was able to catch a glimpse of Amanda's scarlet, intense blush as they grew closer and closer to having that one moment. To say that this budding friendship bloomed into something even more so quickly would be quite absurd under normal circumstances, but the two had some sort of magical chemistry together that just seemed to make things work. Seria had seriously never felt this way around another person before. Seria could simply not stop thinking about how amazing the young lady before her was. And then, Amanda leaned in, closing her eyes, and planted a soft kiss on Seria's own lips. As it was happening, Seria closed her own eyes and attempted to reciprocate, pressing her own lips gently back against Amanda's.

It was a wordless, silent moment, but words were not necessary for a moment as magical as this. Seria's heart was beating rapidly. She felt herself try to gently hold Amanda closer to her, almost subconsciously. Yes. Amanda surely did feel like the one. And meeting at such an age too - it was truly fantastical.

[Amanda Dupomme]

The kiss seemed to last for an eternity: time standing still as the two girls shared their mutual affection. What could have been but a few moments felt like days on end. As the kiss ended and Amanda slowly pulled away, opening her eyes. She knew that she had found someone very special in the other girl. The smile on her face could not be removed by anything at that very moment.

''That was... wonderful...'' she whispered, leaning close and planting yet another kiss. Giggling giddily at how unquestionably happy she was.

''So... what would you like to do now, Miss Floria?'' Amanda purred.

[Seria Floria]

Seria continued to gaze into Amanda's eyes once they parted. By now, it was truly night outside and the moon was actually in plain view, though it was by no means a full one. It shone outside beautifully, some moonlight seeping in through the windows as the lights of the cafe began to dim and fit a more night-time atmosphere and ambience. Amy once again leaned in close and planted another kiss on Seria, which made her blush. "That really was wonderful, and amazing..." Seria sighed happily as she continued to share in this moment with Amanda, until the latter asked what she would like to do.

"What should we do... Well, the night is quite young, and moon outside is shining beautifully. Perhaps we could go outside for a walk somewhere once we are done with all this~?"

[Amanda Dupomme]

Amanda nodded in agreement: carefully standing up and reaching down to assist Seria in doing the same. ''Let us be on our way then, shall we not?'' She smiled: her other arm carefully smoothing down her dress. ''Why do we not head back to the school: perhaps we could eat some dinner together? If you want, I mean... although...''

Amanda glanced down at the cake on the table: while some had been indeed shared: half of it was still uneaten and on the table. ''What would you like to do with the cake?'' Amanda queried: wondering if they could possibly ask for some wrapping paper to take it home.

[Seria Floria]

Seria nodded as the both of them stood, and soon Seria realized that the cake that should have been eaten a while ago was still half-finished. It seemed like a complete waste to just leave it there. "Hmm, maybe we should have it wrapped up and kept so that we can take it home...? But then, who would keep it~? Or should we share it later at one of our places for a while, hehe... " Seria smiled as she believed this is what should have been done with the cake, after all, it was delicious. And Seria was confidently sure that Amanda wouldn't want to leave it there either.

"Yeppers. Let's see if we can get this wrapped up and then we can head back to school and take it from there, dear~?" Seria smiled, repeating what she had just said.

[Amanda Dupomme]

Amanda blushed profusely at the notion of ''sharing cake''.

She liked the idea though. With a cheerful nod: she quickly rushed to the counter. A polite request and some rummaging through the back on part of the staff: she was soon awarded with a small box. As she returned to the table: she smiled at Seria as she expertly plopped the cake into the box. Wrapping it up tightly so it couldn't be opened by accident. Finally, she turned to the other girl, playfully nudging her.

''Let us not waste time then, to the school!'' she giggled. Wondering what the future held in store for the two of them. With a happy sigh, Amanda gracefully wrapped an arm around Serias waist: kissing her one more time on the cheek.

''I'm sure we can have a lot of fun there.''

[Seria Floria]

Seria watched as Amanda quickly rushed the counter, and offered a polite request to get a box with which to package the cake. She returned and deftly, yet carefully, put the cake into the box. It was wrapped up tightly to avoid any accidents by the time she came back with it. Seria smiled and nodded, once again impressed with Amanda's skill. Even if it was something seemingly simple as packaging a cake, Seria still very much appreciated the care needed to basically not screw up. Soon, Amanda wrapped an arm around Seria's waist and then kissed her one more time on the cheek.

Blushing, Seria picked up the cake carefully and made sure to hold it in such a way that it could not fall or that she would not mistakenly drop it. "Indeed, let us return! Surely, tonight will be pleasant and wonderful for the two of us!" Seria said, trying to sincerely sound polite and refined, but it might have come off as rather silly instead as Seria attempted to usher the both of them outside of the establishment and return to the Academy.
