friarlucas

I was RESEARCHING

and also making sure you were alive

princessriles
sorry again for forgetting to text you ://

I'm off to see the wizard

THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ

friarlucas
ok Dorothy, what's your one wish for the almighty Oz?

world peace? unlimited ice cream?

princessriles
for you to be in New York

so we could actually talk and hang out

and you could straighten things out with Zay

friarlucas
we can't always get what we wish for, princess

anyways, where are you really headed?

princessriles
almost home, actually

I just left my friend Farkle's house

he needed help with something on Zombies Eat Your Brains 4, so I happily offered my services

friarlucas
you play????

wait, but that game isn't even out yet

princessriles
you underestimate me, tsk tsk tsk

Farkle has his connections, his family is pretty wealthy

friarlucas
I'll have to put you to the test one day then, city girl

we can see if you got game ;)

princessriles
when that day comes, you better be ready to get your butt kicked, LOOKAS

friarlucas
mhmm, okay suuuuuuure

princessriles
what about you??

how was a day in the life??

friarlucas
I spent most of my day watching Friends lol

I usually help my grandfather with his ranch, but today was his rest day

WOOHOO!!! SUMMERTIME!!!

my life's so exciting, right???

princessriles
I LOVE FRIENDS

what's life like in the country?

as much as I love the city, sometimes I wish I could escape it

friarlucas
it's usually calm, peaceful

you can really hear yourself think out here

and the stars look brilliant at night

it makes you realize that the sky is really endless

but why would you want to escape?

princessriles
the city is always so busy

people are always doing things, the motion just never stops

sometimes I just want life to slow down and hear myself think, you know?

we get different kinds of stars here, but I've never seen an actual sky full of them

friarlucas
I'll just have to show you one day :)

and if it makes you feel any better, I've always wanted to visit the city

it seems so exciting, all the hustle and bustle

princessriles
how about this, I'll show you around the city one day if you introduce me to those stars of yours?

friarlucas
sounds like a deal :)

brb, I gotta help my mom with the dishes

princessriles
alrighty, no promises I'll be awake though

friarlucas
hey, I'm back

riles?

goodnight, princess
