Annie: Wow, these are almost as good as my dad used to make. Almost.

Chris: *laughs* See, you just gotta trust me.

[ I am going to be doing the skill building, working on promotions, etc without taking screenshots, because I feel like it would get repetitive and boring. How many pictures of her playing the guitar do you want to see? ]

Annie is moving on up in the world, folks! She now has her very own TV.

She might have to bang on it a few times just to get it to turn on, but at least she can watch her favorite horror movies now - lucky for her, the occasional static adds to the ambiance.

Although, watching them alone probably isn’t the greatest idea she’s ever had.

Annie: My family always used to take the yacht out on Firework Day and grill burgers and watch the fireworks. It was our favorite holiday... I really miss them today... Geez. Okay, Annie. Get a grip. Chris is going to be here soon, and you still need to get showered and changed.

[mintiemarmalade]

Annie: Hey, uh, Chris? Even though it was kinda a disaster - no thanks to me - this was technically our second date. And well, uh... *laughs nervously* *kisses Chris*

Chris: *smile* Well, I don’t think I would call it a complete disaster.

[mintiemarmalade]

Annie: It’s been a entire DAY since our date, and Chris hasn’t called me yet. *sigh*

[mintiemarmalade]

The grind never stops.

[mintiemarmalade]

Annie: To the fireworks! Sorry, Chris. You can’t come.

Chris: W-What?

Annie: The cowplant.

Chris: *laughs* Oh, right.

[mintiemarmalade]

Slip-and-slide: 1 Annie: 0

[mintiemarmalade]

Annie: Hi, uh, Chris? I just finished watching Sim of the Dead... alone. And uh well... Could you come over, please?

[Chris]: Do I need to bring my zombie repellent?

Annie: Yes, please.

[Chris]: *laughs* I’ll be right over.

Annie: You’re a lifesaver!

[mintiemarmalade]

Annie: W-Why are you looking at me like that?

Christian: Because I really want to kiss you.

Annie: Easy, tiger. A lady never kisses on the first date. *smirks*

Christian: *laughs* Ah, yes. Of course. Where are my manners? Weeell, what about the second?

Annie: *smiles* We shall see. Goodnight, Chris.

Christian: Goodnight, Annie.

Annie: OMG !!!

[mintiemarmalade]

Chris: Annie, look! The fireworks are almost as beautiful as you ar- *looks at Annie* A-Annie? Are you okay?

Annie: *doesn’t respond*

Chris: Annie?

Annie: Oh. Uh, yeah. I’m... I’m fi- *flinches as another firework goes off* Umm, actually... I, uh... I think I need to go sit down for a bit.

[mintiemarmalade]

???: Hi, my name is Christian, but you can call me Chris.

Annie: Nice to meet you, Chris. My name is Annie, but you can call me anytime. *finger guns*

Annie, stop it. You’re scaring him.

[mintiemarmalade]

Annie: Yeah, I named him after my father, Christopher. He died in a fire.

Christian: *frowns* Oh wow. I’m so sorry. I didn’t know.

Annie: It’s okay… A-Anyway, it was nice to meet you, Chris. *smiles nervously* Smooth one, Annie. You totally blew it.

Christian: Goodbye, Annie. Hopefully, we’ll run into each other again soon.

Annie: Y-Yeah, me too. Score!

[mintiemarmalade]

Annie: Silly, flower. How dare you make me sneeze.

[mintiemarmalade]

Not too shabby for her first flower arrangement.
