Bright Lights (Marimmi)

Three

Marina couldn't stop thinking about him. altho the bright lights were finally over, and the 2 girls were finally back at their apartment, Marina's eyes couldn't lay off Djimmi. "Yo, Marina?" Pearl asked, getting her "Rock Daddy" Tee on. 

"you've been lookin outside at the carnival for a while now. what the shell is goin on?"

Marina turned to Pearl and pulled her headphones off. "umm...Pearl..i don't really wanna talk about it..." she sighed, getting up from the couch to go to her room for a change of clothes. 

"this is about Ketchup is it?"

"uhmm...you mean My favorite condiment Ketchup?" 

she was gettin hungry thinking about that.

"no. not THAT ketchup...*belch..*"

she walked over to the window and pointed to the carnival through the window, which was far away from Marina and Pearl's apartment. 

"THAT Ketchup."

Marina jumped back in shock, suddenly blushing. "W-WELL....? DJ-DJIMMI, YOU MEAN??"

"yeah. di....ji di....d..dj...hm...eh...dj..ehm...me...i can never pronounce it. you have a crush on him don't cha?"

"...y-yes..."

"OOOH YO YO! I KNEW IT RIGHT THERE, YO!! WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN!? YOU TWO ARE COMPLACENTLY DIFFERENT! HE'S....RED!!!"

"idk how it happened...but...i'm glad it did..."

"IF Yo so glad, why don't you go and confess? i got Mayo on the first try." 

Pearl headed over to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of Tenta Cola, opening and drinking some of it.

"cause...i'm afraid.."

"you're afraid? you weren't afraid of when we first went on live! why're you scared of confessing your love to a magic tomato?"

"he's not a tomato! i'm just...nervous he won't accept...he might be very caught up on everything..with the kids and the fireworks...he might not have enough time to be with me...and i don't wanna waste his time like that..."

"are you afraid that he's mean?"

"yes."

"so what if he smokes and looks like he's got a terrible sunburn that makes his skin look like a tomato while doing awesome magic? he looks kind on the outside and inside doesn't he?"

"..."

"don't be afraid. you can confess! nothing's stopping ya!"

Marina looked away, blushing. "i'll think about it..." she finally said, heading into her bedroom to change her clothes. Pearl sat still for a second. "she's gonna do it. i know it." she stated, drinking her Tenta Cola.
