"We're gonna be best friends!" - Vanguard AU

- Chapter Three -

Rosie pulled up to the milkshake shop, and looked around for a suspicious car. That was how Rosie knew Vanny was here. Because her car is very suspicious.

No suspicious car in sight! Rosie got here first. Rosie hopped out of her car, and walked into the small building. 

The environment seemed.. Nice enough. The walls were made out of mostly glass. Tables in rows of five littered about 3/4 of the building. The remaining fourth had the back counter, where all the milkshakes were made. Lamps hung from the ceiling, giving the building a somewhat eerie look. That must be why Vanny hangs out here!

Rosie chose a random table. It was in the corner of the building. Rosie sat down, and waited. And waited. 

After a while, an awfully suspicious car pulled up! Must be Vanny. It was pink, with bumper stickers littering the front and the back of it. She sure is.. Bold.

Vanny's usual attire, well, what Rosie thought was usual attire, of a white tank top and jeans had been replaced by a multicolored hoodie, a rainbow skirt, and a bunch of other brightly colored accessories. Man, she really goes all out, huh? It hurts my eyes.. But in a cute way, I guess.

She burst into the building, squealing. "Rosie Rooose! You actually showed uupppp!" Vanny yelled, waving her hands around. 

"Of course I did!" Rosie scoffed, clicking her nails against the table. It's a satisfying sound. "It'd be considered rude if I didn't show up, okay?!"

Vanny laughed. "You knooow you like me, Rosie Rose! Admit it!!" Rosie shook her head violently. 

"No way. Let's just order our milkshakes.." Rosie complained. She hopped out of her chair, standing next to Vanny. Vanny is... Really short, compared to Rosie.

"Gosh, Rosie Rose! You sure are tall.." Vanny commented, smiling.

"Gosh, Vanny! You sure are short.." Rosie fired back, mimicking Vanny. She crossed her arms, pouting.

They continued walking to the counter. 

"Ah, hello, ladies!" An orange haired girl, about Rosie and Vanny's age, was taking their order. "My name is Elizabeth! What would you two like today?" She asked, smiling. 

"Oooh! Lizzy!!" Vanny yelled, smiling. "Toootally didn't expect for you to be here!" The girl's eyes lightened up.

"Oh, wowza! Van Van!" Elizabeth exclaimed. "Didn't expect to see you here, hehe! Uhh.. Don't tell my boss, but.. Since we're cousins, I'll let you get a discount!" They're cousins?

"For me?? Thank you, Lizzy! Totally appreciate it." Rosie butted past Vanny, frustrated with their chatter. "Rosie Roooseee.."

"Apologies for butting in, but.. We need to order, Vanny." She wailed, fidgeting with one of the many rainbow necklaces she had on.

"Fiiineeee.." Rosie rolled her eyes.

"Anyways, I would like one vanilla milkshake. Medium, please." Elizabeth gasped, while writing it down. "What's your problem?"

"Nothing, it's just.. Spine- chilling boring! Hehe.." Rosie's blonde eyebrows furrowed.

"Don't you dare make fun of me!" Rosie was in.. A bad mood, to say the least. Spending a few hours with Vanny can do that to you.

"Sorry, sorryy! Now, Van Van, what would you like?"

"Hmm.. I'll take a mint milkshake, with Oreos, and... Chocolate syrup! If ya can, can you give me some skittles on the side?? I'll pay extra!" 

Elizabeth nodded, jotting that all down. "Alright! That'll beeeee.. With the discount, 3.72 dollars!" 

Rosie sifted through her pockets, and pulled out a normal, brown wallet, while Vanny yanked out a Sanrio wallet. "Dammit, Vanny! Let me pay!" Rosie complained.

"No! I have the prettier wallet, so I should pay!" Vanny yelled, laughing. "And I like paying for pretty peopleee!"

Rosie's cheeks turned red, and she stomped. "S- Shut it! I get to pay, and that's final!" She whipped out a card, and handed it to Elizabeth. "There!"

Elizabeth swiped the card, paying everything off. "Dangit, Lizzyyy!!" Vanny wailed. "Now I can't show off how cool I am by paying for Rosie Rose!"

"Van Van, I'm sure you'll be fine.." Elizabeth laughed, before disappearing into the kitchen thing, to prepare milkshakes.

"Guess we should go sit down, then?" Rosie asked, walking away before Vanny could reply. 

Rosie went back to her original seat, Vanny sitting across from her. "Oh-kay, Rosie Rose. Soo.. What do you do outside of being a guard?"

Rosie tilted her head. "What do I do outside of being a guard..? Well.. I.. Uh.. Kinda just sit at home? I watch TV, read on Freddy's old scandals, sometimes play super old games, aaaand that's really it. What about you?"

"Ooohh!! Well, I like to code games!!" Vanny exclaimed. "I also like sewing! Y'know, I've been thinking about quitting this job, and going on to be a game tester, or developer! Weeellll.. Looks like we've got some stuff in common." 

Rosie's eyes widened. "Really?! Never expected that."

Vanny nodded excitedly. "Of course!! It's all super interesting, although I won't tell Mr. Afton that. He flipped the last time he caught the old entertainer reading up on that stuff.. Hey! After we leave this place, why don't weeee.. Play some old games together, and I try to fix them up!! After that, we can read about alllll the scandals we want! Won't it be fun?! C'mon, Rosie Rose! Say yeessss!!"

Rosie rolled her eyes, and nodded. "Sure. Like I said, don't have anything else to do." Vanny squealed excitedly.

"YAAAYYY!! Thank you thank you thank you!!"

"No problem!" Rosie smiled. Maybe the two of them could be friends after all!
