"Meet me at the McDonald's on Monroe Ave"- Emma

"I'll be there in like 5 mins"-Nancy
"K" -Emma
Nancy looked at her phone then picked an outfit to wear. She put on a blue sweater, black sweatpants and a pair of university blue jordan 1s.

When she got to McDonald's she saw Emma waiting in the parking lot on her phone.

"Look up" -Nancy

"Hey Emma" said Nancy as Emma looked up.

"Hey. You wanna grab something to eat real quick?"

Nancy said "Sure" looking into the almost empty restaurant.

"Welcome to McDonald's how many I help you?"

"I'll have a mcdouble with medium fries and a small coke." Said Nancy

"I'll have a McChicken and a medium fry." Said Emma.

Once they got their food they went to a vacant booth than started a conversation.

"So what's it like here?" Said Emma

Nancy sighed and said "You heard of Batman, the guy from the comic books "

"Yeah" said Emma

"Yeah so it's basically Gotham but less crazy people around"

When they were outside Emma said "So where we going first?"

"Alright so first is the Strong Museum, the Auditorium theatre then the Blue Cross Arena even though it's across the bridge you can probably still see it." Said Nancy as she looked at her phone.

When they reached the Strong Museum, Nancy said "I used to go here a lot as a kid but I haven't been here in years. We had field trips here, I went here over breaks to. I remember going to the butterfly garden and toy hall of fame, those were my favorite places, one of the cafes always scared me though.

"Why?" Said Emma

"There was a cafe with a really tall man like the size of the building and he was always moving weird, like his head would move and it would look like he's looking at me or staring at me, I don't know I just didn't like him. Said Nancy with a joyful and disgusted expression

"To be honest I'd be scared too. But what's next" said Emma

"The auditorium" Said Nancy.

When they arrived at the auditorium they saw a group of elementary school kids entering and Nancy said "Haven't been here in a long time either. I used to go to musicals for field trips to I didn't really like them though, I don't even know why I kept going. I probably went for the food."

Then Emma said "Doesn't really look like a theater."

"Once your inside it'll feel like one." Said Nancy

They kept walking and reached the public library and Nancy pointed out the blue cross arena. "That's the blue cross arena, where all of the sporting events happen and some carnivals and concerts but most of the concerts are in the music hall. But I don't remember where that is "

"I can't tell if this is an up or downgrade from where I lived New Jersey but it's still a nice city except for the crime rate." Said Emma.

"Yeah, it's the only thing wrong with this place." Said Nancy.

Then the two kept walking until they eventually went their separate ways back home.
