Ember was scrolling through her phone on some random social media website as she made her way back to the noodle shop. She has just completed a grocery run that, shockingly, didn't take too long. Pigsy just needed her to grab some vegetables and flour. She had the shopping bag around her right arm so it wouldn't fall as she used her phone.

Now, it appears Ember didn't learn her lesson the last time she used her phone while walking. Because suddenly, she slammed into another individual and collapsed, the impact throwing the bag off of her arm and spilling all the ingredients.

"Oh crap! Pigsy is so gonna kill me!" Ember panicked. Maybe she could save the flour, since that was secured in a bag, but the vegetables weren't, resulting in them getting dirty on the ground.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?!"

Ember looked up to see a girl with long, bright green hair. She wore a worried expression on her face. She was holding out a hand for Ember to grab. Not wanting to come off as rude, Ember reached out and took it.

"Yeah, I'm alright... But, uh, can't say the same for the veggies." The blue-haired demon giggled, trying to lighten the mood.

The girl frowned. "I'm really sorry for that, I should've—"

Ember waved a hand, cutting her off. "No, no, totally my bad. I just can't seem to learn my lesson when it comes to phones and such. Anyway, it's no big deal. I can just run back to the grocery store and quickly replace the vegetables."

"Are you sure there's nothing I can do to make up for it?" The green-haired girl asked once more. Ember blinked, thinking for a bit before digging into her pocket.

"Well, I mean, if you really feel like you want to do something... here's the address for the noodle shop I work at," she pulled out a small slip of paper and a pen, and quickly scribbled down the address. She then gave it to the girl.

"If you're ever hungry, or you just wanna talk, why not stop by? There's a bunch of good people there. I'm sure you'll feel right at home!"

The green-haired girl smiled, tucking the paper away in her pocket. "Thank you so much! I'll definitely stop by soon! Oh, by the way, I never got your name?"

"Oh! I'm sorry for that! My name is Ember! What's yours?"

"My name is Rosalina! I hope we get to meet again soon!"

Ember smiled. "Same here!"

And with that, the two girls waved goodbye and went their separate ways.

~~~

That girl seemed nice. I hope she stops by soon, Ember thought later as she approached the noodle shop after replacing the vegetables. Suddenly, her phone rang.

Adjusting the bags to one arm, Ember pulled out her phone and, seeing it was MK, answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hey! Uh... Ember? Could you do me a small favor?"

"Sure! What do ya need?"

"Welllllll... I kinda, sorta, messed up an order. Would it be okay if you brought it over? I'll send you the address."

"Of course! And you don't need to send me the address. Just send me a full view of the house."

"Hm? Uh, okay!"
