“Thank you so much for letting me stay over, I really need a pamper night." When was the last time she had a girly sleepover - probably when she was a kid. "So...what shall we do first?"

“Isn't it strange how people say that magic isn't real, and yet we wear lucky charms, make wishes on birthday candles and stars and we follow our dreams?"

“You’re going to give yourself brain freeze with all that ice cream.” To Irma’s credit, this ice cream parlour offered a lot of delicious ice cream flavours, so much so that Adrianna struggled to pick. “I was just going to get one scoop of strawberries and cream but...I might go more.”

She's reminising. A story that Adrianna has been asked many a time, but will gladly tell again and again. If one was the romanticising type (which Adrianna would claim she was), how she started into dance was something that of a fairy tale - working hard to make dream come true, wishing and hoping - that kind of thing. Then again, the most popular ballet shows are based on fairy tales. "It started out as a feeling, which then grew into a hope."

A curly haired head peeks around the changing room curtain, eyes darting until they land on the other person adacent. They're a stranger, sure, but she needs the fashion advice. "Hey," Hoping to grab their attention, there's a slightly uneasy smile once eye contact is made. "Um...I need some advice. I've been invited to a Christmas party and I have no idea what I'm doing." It had been a long time since she had been anywhere that required a dress code and leggings or a simple dress wasn't going to cut it. Truth be told, she had grabbed random pieces from the stores racks and hoped for the best.

"Is this outfit cute?"

She is wearing a look of fake innocence, and it's taking everything to not break into laughter. Do I even want to know? Her head tilts to one side, teasing - but still hiding blame. "I don't know, do you? How curious are you?"

It's nothing she hasn't done before but the phrase alone I'll make it better, just tell me how, makes the ballet dancer give pause. "It's Nutcracker season. Rehersals, auditions...it's just stressful at the moment. I want a major role this year. I can't slip up." In Adrianna's eyes, there's no such thing as working too hard, but if she had to be honest, she was simply tired.

"Have you eaten today?" Just the thought that Adrianna has to ponder the question is probably not a good look for her. She gives a sheepish smile with her answer. "I had breakfast this morning." Yet that was a few hours ago.

"Can I ask what got you into dance? Was there one thing that just...sparked it all? Something that made you think 'yes, I want to do this forever'?"

"I heard it's your birthday," Dorothea says, handing Adrianna a small box wrapped with a pink bow. Inside is a charm bracelet -- cliche, yes, but well intentioned, with each of the charms on the bracelet correlating with ballets that Adrianna has performed in. "Happy birthday!"

Adrianna gasps softly before the gift is even unwrapped. "Oh, Dorothea, thank you!" Each layer of tissue paper is delicately unwrapped, carful not to rip. The bracelet was put on almost immediately, turning her wrist this way and that to admire it from every angle. "I love it! Thank you, thank you!"

@lcrk

I don’t think we run in the same circles, but … perhaps we can change that. Opposites did attract, perhaps that was too bold to mention out loud? "There are some similarities between us. We are both performers after all. But if everyone were all in the same circles, conversations would be very boring." Adrianna practically beams, a breathy giggle threatening to escape.

❝ Aaw, you are the prettiest peach I ever did see!❞

"You really think so?" Adrianna can feel her cheeks growing warm. "Well, you are the most fashionable person I've met!" To say she was jealous of the others style was an understatement. Adrianna's wardrobe - according to fashion blogs and magazines - was cute, classy and casual - but Hay Lin was on another level.

❝ You can get into yoga poses that I can only dream about! ❞

Maybe she's showing off but she will respond, just as Adrianna stretches her leg above her head, flexing the muscles for a second before she's back onto two feet. "That's what happens after years of practice. I could teach you, if you'd like? The basics of yoga, I mean."
