— "Whats the matter babe?" Carolina questions her dearest friend the second the bathroom door shuts behind them, Bambi hoisting herself onto the checkered counter.

The diner's bathroom was lit up a blazing fuchsia, pictures of Elvis, Paul Anka, The Everly Brothers and other well-known 50's artists lining the neon blue walls.

"I-I don't even know." Bambi whines and puts her face into her hands, lying straight through her teeth. "Yes, you do." Care remarks as her friend sighs.

Carolina was always the one Bambi came to after Harry left, her friend's warm hugs and strawberry ice cream always making her feel better by the end of the night.

The doe lifts her head up and Care can tell what this is about just by the look on her friend's face. "It's Harry isn't it." Bambi nods, raking her fingers through her hair before slouching against the mirror.

"I thought you were happy with Matthew? The moment you two started dating the tears stopped." Carolina cooes, setting her hand on Bambi's knee in a comforting way.

"I am! Well- I thought I was? I don't know. It's just Harry popped out of nowhere and you of all people know how I feel about him.." Bambi rants as her friend nods. "And- and then he was being all foxy with Venus outside just then. I'm embarrassed to admit that I got jealous." She sighs and Care actually laughs, Bambi furrowing her eyebrows. "This isn't funny, C."

"I'm sorry! It's just do you see the way Harry looks at you? The man practically goes heart eyes when he sees ya, babes." She explains and Bambi blushes a cherry red, battling to break out into a smile.

"But listen, lovie. If you really wanna be with Harry, break up with Matthew. Don't drag that relationship out if you know it's not gonna last"

"Okay." Bambi smiles, hopping off the sink with help. "Thank you Care, you're a lifesaver."

"Of course. Anythin' for you." She grins. "Okay let's get going before Venus falls in love with Harry, I think she fancies him." Care laughs, opening the door of the bathroom.

They walk out together, hearing some exciting tune by the Bees Gees echoing in the now-vacant diner. The puppy spots Harry and all her friends sitting in a plush booth, her doe eyes widening when she notices the short blonde hair as well.

"Oh dear I forgot Matt was coming." Bambi groans to Carolina lowly, gesturing over to the booth.

"Why would you do that?! I can tell Harry hates his guts from all the way over here." Care exclaims and Bambi mentally facepalms. "I brought it up to him this morning! And he sorta invited himself I guess and I couldn't say no because he knew Harry was coming and he would be suspicious if he didn't come along and I didn't want to rude and-" The poppet quietly rambles on and on, stopping once they both near the table.

"Oh there you are, baby." Matthew beams once Bambi slides into the booth next to him, Harry sat across from her.

The bunny didn't get the same butterflies she had earlier when Harry called her the same exact name.

Harry lightly beams once he notices the pet name did not bring the same flushed face as when he said it, biting back a smirk when he realizes he has a stronger affect on the precious flower.

"So, Harry what's brought you back here?" Matthew questions as he slings his arm around Bambi's shoulder, Bambi going stiff at the feeling.

Harry eyes the berry for second before taking a sip of his strawberry milkshake, one he had time to order while Bambi and Care did their rant session in the restroom.

"Came to visit my friend Niall and few other mates. Plus, I missed Angela, Thomas and Bambi so I figured I would come back for the Summer." Harry declares while making sure he used Mrs. Petal's first name, knowing it would piss Matthew off just a bit.

"Didn't seem like you missed her a month or two ago." Matt mentions, Bambi snapping her head to the side as Harry clenches his hand around the table. "Matt" The fairy lowly hisses and smacks him on the thigh under the table. Bambi glances back to Harry with apologetic eyes as the rest of the table grew quiet, Matthew smirking on how Harry had nothing to say back.

"So the new Rolling Stones record! M' think it's pretty rad." Carolina starts a conversation about Exile on Main St., Bambi mouthing a thank you to her for changing the subject.

Sky, Summer, Care and Venus began to talk about rock bands as the other three sat in thick silence, Harry lightly humming along to the melody playing throughout the restaurant. Matthew gives the other man a dirty look, annoyed at the persistent humming. Harry notices the nasty glare and scoffs at him, tossing the wrapper of his straw to the side as he leans back onto the plush booth.

Harry opens his mouth to say something but is interrupted by the diner's waitress, the ruby red heels clicking across the checkered floor as she nears us.

"M' sorry Bambi but I can't stand him." Harry groans to the sunshine as he shuts the car door behind him, Bambi sighing as she buckles her seatbelt.

"He was acting rude in there, I'm sorry." The doe apologizes on her blunt boyfriend's behalf, looking out the window to see Matt giving her the disappointed look for choosing to go with Harry.

"You have no reason to apologize, he's a fucking wanker. I just wanna bang his face." Harry admits and Bambi slaps his arm that's on the wheel, gasping, "Harry!"

"Hey, I'm just being skinney with you." He laughs and Bambi can't help but join in.

"Oh by the way, my mom wants you to come over for dinner." The girl mentions and Harry nods his head, chewing on a thick piece of bubblegum as he pulls out of the parking lot. "Perfect." Harry grins and Bambi asks, "why?"

"I'm taking you out until then." He straightforwardly says, the peach's eyes widening. "Harry, we can't and you know that." She pouts and he sighs.

"I didn't say anythin' about it being something more than a friendly hangout, shortcake. I'll keep my hands to myself I promise. Jus' wanna hang with ya that's all." Harry chimes while Bambi messes with her skirt, thinking about it.

"I miss you" He mentions and looks over to her for a second to see her blushing. "Please" Harry drags, "with a cherry on top" He begs, giving her the puppy dog eyes she usually gives him. "Oh alright" She gives in and Harry lets out a few cheers, Bambi smiling at his goofy behavior she missed so much.

"Okay so what time is dinner?" Harry questions the flower. "7:30 usually." She replies, Harry going to check the watch on his wrist to see it was only 11:23 am.

"Okay we have a bit more than seven hours to kill. Let's go have fun, B."
