* Fast Food & Friends *

What's a good way to spend time on a chilling Saturday noon?

Brunch perhaps? What would make it even better though?

Brunch with friends like... DUH!

Or does it?

It's a usual routine for the girls to hang out, gathering in fast food restaurants or cafés for brunch. Today, however Dinah, Normani, and Ally have plans for takeout.

"Oh, there she is!" Ally waves at Normani, stretching her hand up as high as she can.

Dinah pulls the small one back to her seat. "Seriously Short Stack, you don't have to stand up! Have some confidence that Manibear can see you just by hearing your voice."

"Biggie's such a meanie," pouts Ally.

"Thank God I made it here punctually," Normani sighs in relief, sliding into the seat in front of them.

"You better be."

"Says the one who is always late."

Crossing her arms, Dinah defends herself, "Used to be late mind you. Now you're just taking your sweet ass time to get here."

Normani gasps, "I rushed here after I reschedule hanging out with them! All for what? For you Dinah Jane! I ain't having this conversation with you."

Ally stands abruptly and claps her hand before dividing her attention to the two bickering girls. "Alright girls, time to stop arguing with each other."

"We already stopped Ally." Dinah and Normani say in sync before locking eyes.

"Oops, sorry. That was awkward," Ally mumbles as she sits.

Normani furrows her brows. "My makeup is melting due to the heat. I didn't even touch up for fear of being late."

Dinah smirks, ready to laugh at any moment. "Don't tell me you run all the way here Boo."

"I don't run, I brisk walk. You said it's an urgent DNA meeting before brunch at Lo's!"

"You sure I didn't mean to say DNA as in Dinah N Ally?"

"Oh no, don't you dare start again Dinah Jane. Anyways Manibear, we already ordered your favourite buffalo wings," Ally shows the box of wings like some model representing a prize in a variety show.

"Extra tangy?"

"You got it girl, extra tangy!"

"Aww, thank you! That's what friends are for!" Normani cheers as she grabs some fries. "So, whaddup?"

Dinah swallows a gulp of Mango Juice and rests her elbows on the table with laced hands under her chin. Normani's brow twitches seeing the youngest one act like some detective examining clues on a cold case. She quickly turns to Ally who is innocently humming to one of Shakira's hit songs, Hips Don't Lie.

"Do you think we'll even get to see the ring?" Dinah speaks in a low voice.

Normani narrows her gaze. "Please don't ruin my appetite. I don't like talking about ghosts when I'm eating."

"I was talking about Lolo's Engagement Ring, Mani!"

Normani chuckles.

"Answer the question, Boo!"

"Damn. No baby. There was never a ring on her," Normani slurps Dinah's Mango Juice.

"And how long has it been since the Wedding Cake Exhibition?"
