(I should preface this one by saying that in my headcanon, Mia and Naomi are stepsisters and Naomi, being a typical "Control Freak with her whole life planned out", lives away from her family to specifically study at Volcano High.)
Every day after school for the next few weeks, I would join Fang to help her practice.
Some days we would go to her place, other days i'd drive Fang to my place.
Bribing Naser to keep quiet eventually became unnecessary.
The practice sessions themselves were long and arduous.
Sessions would either go until her mom gave me a heads up, or sundown.
Fang would play for hours on end, occasionally stopping to let me try and to take a break.
Despite my warnings, she'd play until her fingers were red and raw.
I decided it was time for a real break once I ran out of band-aids.
My great idea was to take out a map of the city i'd had since I moved in, and throw a dart at it to decide where we'd go for the day.
There's lots of neat places in the city for dates, the mall, the arcade, a local amusement park.
....and the dart landed in the ocean over the dock.
The look from Fang told me she wasn't going anywhere near a tuna boat.
The Aquarium it is.
<{^}><{^}><{^}><{^}><{^}>
And here we are, inside after paying for admission.
I'd suggested she wear some gloves, just to protect her hands.
I don't think she understood the second part....because they were fingerless.
The aquarium is a large marble building on a marina.
The various exhibits sprawl out to make the place turtle-shaped from a bird's-eye view.
It's a nice place, but I still need to make this entertaining to Fang.
She already looks bored.
Looking through one of the map kiosks, I try to make a mental plan for the trip.
Drake: Hm. So they got the deep sea, the gulf of Mexico, the dopefish- what?, uh...tropical reefs...fuck it. Eenie meanie mini-
Fang: Really?
Drake: Sea turtles it is.
I take Fang's hand and lead her through the lobby into the chamber labeled 'Sea Turtle Conservatory'.
Fang: Drake, are you sure you want to spend the day here? If you wanted to go to the mall or somethin- omigawd.
A little sea turtle swims out of hiding in the tank right in front of us.
Fang immediately frees herself from me and presses against the glass.
Fang: Look at these cute little shits, I love them!
