The next night Destin and Chardonnay were getting ready to go meet Britain and her friend. Destin went downstairs and as she was getting ready to go out the door, heard a familiar voice say "Bye Dr. Hartford." Just then Cassadee came busting around the corner and almost ran into Destin. "Wow I'm so sorry girl." Said Cassadee as she examined Destins outfit. "You going out?" "Yeah we are going to meet up with my other sister and her friend for dinner and drinks." Said Destin as she had an idea. "Would you like to join us?" "Oh no I don't wanna impose." Said Cassadee sweetly. Just then Chardonnay yelled that she was leaving. "Last chance." Said Destin as she smiled slyly. "Ok fine I'll come! I think I have clothes in my car." Said Cassadee as the two girls went out the door.
The girls arrived at the restaurant and went inside. It was a cute tiki style bar. Many people were sitting in hammocks and some around high top tables. There was light reggae music playing in the background by a live band. Just as Destin went to walk up to the hotess stand, out of the corner of her eye saw a familiar hand waving. She looked to see Britain sitting with an unfamiliar girl. She looked like a brunette Britney Spears. Britain introduced the girl as Sundae. "But my friends call me Sunny for short." Said Sundae as she flipped her hair out of her face. Just then the a red headed waitress walked up. "Hi I'm Bionca, I'll be serving you today. What can I get you?"
After the girls all ordered they we're just sitting talking. They all seemed so different but somehow seemed to be getting along, well great. The girls all went to take a selfie when a familiar voice yelled "photobomb!" From behind. The girls turned to stare at Onyx standing there. "Hi I'm Onyx." "Hey girl!" Said Cassadee as she stood to hug Onyx. Apparently the two girls were friends from high school and were also in the same dance class. After introducing herself to everyone else again, Onyx joined the girls for a drink. Destin started to panic inside. Wondering if she should identify herself, she got up and excused herself to the restroom. As Destin rounded the corner to the restroom she walked straight into a tall curly headed boy. "Wow I'm so sorry." Said the boy as he grabbed Destins clutch she had dropped. The boy seems familiar but Destin just smiled and walked on.
When Destin got back to the table she found the girls all talking about their dreams, and travel plans for the future.
Onyx wanted to travel to Europe. Sundae wanted to go back home to Alaska. Chardonnay wanted to go visit her friend in Africa. Cassadee wanted to study abroad in Germany. Britain and her husband wanted to travel to Bora Bora. But Destin she didn't know what she wanted to do. She never did. Maybe go back to New York or possibly a little cottage out in the middle of nowhere for now. Who knows.
All Destin could think about is the past.
Bionica came back up to the table with the trays of food. After everyone ate the girls decided to go down by the dock. As they walked along the dock, pigeons started to crowd around them. Suddenly they heard a scream. Sundae stood with a droplet of bird poop on her shoulder. The girls all started to laugh. Britain grabbed her phone and he girls all got together. 1..2..3 "Pigeon!" Sundae then ran off to the bathroom to clean her shirt. Everyone sat along the dock feet dangling. Sundae came back. The girls started to joke about the incident. "It's alright girl just a little whipped cream on top of your sundae." Said Charddonay. The girls all bursts out into laughter. "Come on you pidges." Said Sundae. And the girls walked arm in arm back to the restaurant. Destin trailed behind and thought for a minute. Maybe this is her new start. New friends, new jokes, new adventures. Pigeons, yes pigeons.
