I wake up that morning, excited for my weekend ahead. Salima said we were going out today, which I was cool with. I always like going out to different places with her, no matter where it is, because she always makes it fun with her bubbly personality and humor. I wonder where we are going today.
"Hey, Leema, how's this look?" I say, twirling around to show my regular jeans & a t-shirt at our breakfast nook. I flash a toothy grin but she frowns slightly.
"Mmm, I don't think that'll do for today, hun... You need something more..." She rests her chin on her hand, her other hand gesturing vaguely in my direction. "Out there... Here, let me find something for you..." She pulls out a dippy tank top & cropped hoodie & my mouth gapes open.
"Lee, don't you think that's a bit much...?"
She grins mischievously, 1 eyebrow raised & trots closer, holding the outfit up to me. "Not where we're going..."
I frown slightly. "& where's that?"
She grins, beaming from ear to ear. "A concert! The 1 & only Blue is performing at that club on main street & we just have to go!"
I raise 1 eyebrow. "'Blue'?"
She sighs exasperatedly. "You can not tell me that you don't know who Blue is!?! The most famous pop star this side of town!"
I shrug indifferently & she gasps. "I told you before, Lee, I don't know everything you know... I don't get out much &... my music interests are pretty niche..."
She gasps, thrusting the outfit at me before guiding me to my room to try it on. "That's for sure... What do you live under a rock?" I shrug again & she sighs. "Can you at least go? Please? It'll be really fun, I promise..."
She gives me puppy dog eyes & I sigh. "Fine, only for you, Salima... & it better be fun..."
She grins mischievously, as though she knows something I don't. "Oh, it will be..."
Elio's a Kitsune, btw, if you didn't know. He can turn into a fox, has fox ears, & a tail when he transforms. Kitsune can have up to, like, 8 tails, but Elio only has 1 bc he isn't very powerful.
& his friend Salima is a centaur. Here's what she looks like.
Well, that's just the top 1/2 of her, obvs. The bottom 1/2 is a paint horse.
Salima & Elio met in foster care, they were both brought up there. Their friends are kinda like their family now, & Salima & Elio share an apartment.
Welp, that's all for now, guys. See ya lates :'D
