New Grounds -ON HOLD-

Chapter 9

          Ava took me to her house once more.  She lead me up the stairs and into a guest room.

          "Hey mimi." Ava said as she stroked the small cat who was curled up on the bed. Mimi purred and looked at me. 

           "Oh, hi." I said, reaching down to pet the small creature. "uhhh... ," I looked at her, she was sleeping right smack-dab in the middle of the matress. "Could you please hop off the bed? I need my rest more than you." The cat merely looked at me and set it's head back down on it's paws.

           "Nevermind..." I said. Ava laughed before exiting, she turned to face me. 

           "You still have many questions to answer." With that she turned and exited the room, leaving me and Mimi to ourselves. I turned to the cat, eyeing it warily.

          "You don't bite, do you?" All I got was a simple blink in return.

          "This is gonna be a loooong night, isn't it?"

          ~TIMESKIP THE NIGHT CUZ I CAN~

          I awoke on the same hard floor in which I had fell asleep on the day before. I groaned as I sat up, my back stiff from laying in that position all night. Mimi hopped off the bed and scampered out the door.

          "You couldnt've done that sooner?" I mumbled, stretching. I rubbed my eyes and decended the stairs. 

          "MORNING!" I jumped at the voice. Ava was at the stove, cooking something unusual.

          "Keep it down wontcha?" I said groggily.

          "Sorry!" She took the pan in which the 'breakfast' was in and flipped the contents.

          I sat down at a small table set in the center of the room, "What're you making?"

          "Frog legs and tuna mush." She said.

         "WHAT?!?" I asked, my eyes widening.

          Ava burst out into laughter, "Do you serioiusly think that since I am an aqua-folk that we eat disgusting food?"

          I blushed in embarassment, "Maybe..."

          Ava rolled her eyes, "I'm making tacos."

           "FOR BREAKFAST?"

           Ava stopped cooking to stare at me.

          My blushing intensed, "Uhh... we're having tacos for breakfast?" I asked quietly.

          "What's wrong with that?" Ava asked, turning back to the stove.

          "That's something we usually eat for dinner." 

          "Oh really?"

          "Yeah."

          "Well you better get used to this from now on."

          She took 'breakfast' out of the pan and set it down on a plate. 

          She took two green taco shells and walked over to the table I was sitting at.

          "What's with the look?" Ava asked me as she sat in a chair across from me. 

         "The shells are green."

          "Yeah? So what?" 

         "I don't usually eat anything green..."

         "So you judge food by color and not taste?"

          "No, just anything that is green tends to be unflavorful to me."

          "Will you atleast try it?" She asked, waving a taco-shell in front of my face. 

          I smacked it away, earning a glare from Ava. I scoffed.

          "FINE... I'll try it."

         Ava's face instantly lit up.

          I rolled my eyes and slowly took the taco from her. 

          "Could you atleast stop looking at  me like that?" I asked. She was staring right at me, giving me the creeps. 

           She shook her head. "Oh, sorry. -lol- I was just excited to see you try a new food." ((True story... don't judge me, I have this friend who makes me try new foods... She's cool like that XD))

          I rolled my eyes... again... and took a small bite. 

           "Sooo? How is it?"

          I tried to reply, but before I could get the words out of my mouth, I collapsed.
