Chosen Options; [[Waste Money on brand new furniture]] and [[yell at the person who's knocking]]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This place is a mess! I really don't think I have the patience to fix all of this up. And besides, there's someone knocking at the door.

"H-hello? Is anybody in there?" The voice called. I looked at the door mischeviously.

Hmmmmm.... Imma do this as a joke. Cuz why not?

I yelled at the door, politely. "Sorry! Nobody's home!" I giggled. I could hear the person outside giggle as well.

"Oh, if that's the case, then I'll come back later mr. Or ms. 'Person who isn't home'." they said in between laughs. I went up to the door, leaving my luggage upstairs. Only to find that it followed me and tackled me as I reached the bottom step!

"Mother of Irene, what did my parents pack!?" I groaned, shoving my luggage aside. As I got up and headed to the door, I heard the voice once more.

"Is everything okay in there!?"

I open the door and smiled. "I'm fine. Thank you for asking." The woman standing there was smiling as well. Her raven black hair shimmered in the sunlight, reflecting onto her smile. At this moment, I could tell she's a caring person. Her white crop top was complimented by a pair of black short shorts, purple laced black runners, and I caught a small glimpse of a purple bow holding up her hair. "So, can I help you with anything?"

"O-oh, yes!" The woman stuttered, completely forgetting she was standing in front of me. "I wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood! Especially since we're right next door to each other!" She pointed to the red house.

"That's your house?" I asked in disbelief. I mean, come on! That house didn't even look like a house! It looked more like a mythical mansion. Probably was very big on the inside of the house as well.

"Yup!" The woman put her hands on her hips and held her head high, looking very proud of herself. I couldn't help but snicker. She returned her glance back to me. "Well, my friends and I recently moved in as well."

"That's really neat! I can't wait to meet them. They must be nice people if they're friends with you!" I exclaim. The woman slightly blushed, looking quite embarrassed. She continued to look at me, but not directly at me. "Hey, are you okay?"

The woman seemed as if she was looking at someone else, but then I realized she wasn't looking at me. She was looking at the disaster zone behind me. "Hey, do you need some help with your house?"

"U-uh, that's really nice of you, but you don't have to..." I started to say but she interrupted me.

"Are you kidding!? I'd LOVE to help you! You seem like an amazing person! I'd love to get to know you more!" She exclaimed excitedly. I felt my face getting hotter and I chuckled. "Oh, my name's Aphmau by the way. Nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you too, Aphmau." I shook her hand as she continued playing the '20 questions' game. Personally, I don't mind.

"So, what are you planning to do with the furniture and walls and stuff?" She points to the wrecked furniture, the worn down walls, and the cracked doors.

"Well, I was thinking of using my money to buy new furniture, but I don't think I'm going to use my money for furniture since I can just fix it on my own..." I replied, she gasped.

"You can fix stuff!?"

I laugh. "Yeah. My parents say I'm the, quote on quote, 'best repair woman ever'. But I know there are better women who can repair stuff. And yeah, I was thinking I could fix the furniture, buy any new furniture if needed, call an electrician, plumber, and construction worker to check to see if this house is still in a safe condition. And then I can move on from there. Oh! Sorry... I was rambling..."

Aphmau looked at me with a glimmer in her eyes. "Wow! You've really got this all planned out! I have some tools in my garage that we can use!"

"What? You're wanting to help? But you don't even know me..." I mumbled.

Aphmau looked at me, shocked. "Of course I want to help! And besides, that's the point! So I can get to know you better, silly!" I laughed.

"You're right."

As we finished our conversation, Aphmau darted over to her house. I turned back to the inside and sigh.

This is going to be a MASSIVE job...
