"Live and learn. I guess. I won't go back home, no matter what happens. Nothing... good is waiting for me back there." the emphasis on the word good indicated BB was, like Summer a woman with a difficult past. She really wasn't expecting to make any friends, least of female. But BB seemed pleasant and she was really chatty.
"How about you Summer? You can tell me anything you want, I promise. What has got you all worked up lately? You mentioned your job, what is it that you do?" So many questions and so sudden. Summer flustered at the rate they were being fired off.
I could tell her anything? Summer doubted that. How do you tell a virtual stranger, no matter how nice that you turn into a giant dog when the moon is full? Skip that part.
"Ugh yeah, my new job." Summer started with a frown. "I just started as a secretary for a construction firm in Shreveport. Day didn't go exactly as planned. I was late and I almost threw up." she paused for a drink. "and to top it off I get invited out of the blue to some huge shindig where I'll know a sum total of one maybe two people."

"Ugh yeah, my new job. just started as a secretary for a construction firm in Shreveport. Day didn't go exactly as planned. I was late and I almost threw up."
Well, that certainly didn't sound very fun. Brandy didn't want to make the conversation about her again so she didn't mention how embarrassing it was when she threw up in front of Sam...
Though, it might of made Summer feel a little better. Maybe even caught a laugh just because of how embarrassing it was.
"and to top it off I get invited out of the blue to some huge shindig where I'll know a sum total of one maybe two people."
"Potential awkwardness ensues. But that is the point of parties isn't it? You can either be the wallflower, which I don't think you could even if you tried, - or you can grin and bear it and at least get a few drinks outta the deal"
Brandy giggled through her last words, she was a light weight herself so it didn't take much to get her tipsy.

Awkward was putting it mildly. If only this was an actual party and not what felt like Summer being put on display for all to judge. It made her feel deeply uncomfortable. BB continued on.
"You can either be the wallflower, which I don't think you could even if you tried, - or you can grin and bear it and at least get a few drinks outta the deal"
Summer laughed at the thought of being anything resembling a wallflower. "No I'm certainly not known for being coy at parties." she shook her head a little, still laughing. "No, I'm usually the one getting my @ss thrown out for being too rowdy."

"No, I'm usually the one getting my @ss thrown out for being too rowdy.
"Maybe we should go one time. You know, to a club or something just on a girl's night out kinda thing. And if we get too drunk together, I'm sure two pretty girls like us could find rides home"
She had only been to Merlotte's and Fangastia, but Merlotte's wasn't really the place to go and party. It was more the local water hole, for lack of a better term.
"I would say Fangastia but I don't know your opinion on vampires, and I was only suggesting it cause they seem to be more of the party place. We could maybe.. take a trip and find a place in Dallas?"
That might be interesting, a road trip to Dallas? It would be tougher to find a ride home from there, if they took that route they probably would be looking at a hotel room for sure.

"Maybe we should go one time. You know, to a club or something just on a girl's night out kinda thing. And if we get too drunk together, I'm sure two pretty girls like us could find rides home" Summer beamed at the idea. "It's been too long since I had a proper night out. Been travelling so long, I've never really made the stopover and never made any friends in the process." Summer could have punched herself in the head for the last part, but it was out there now.
"I would say Fangastia but I don't know your opinion on vampires, and I was only suggesting it cause they seem to be more of the party place. We could maybe.. take a trip and find a place in Dallas?"
Summer's face fell at the mention of Fangtasia, which judging from BB's statement about Vampires, it must be some sort of hangout for the undead. The subject of Vampires was, for some people incredibly touchy. Like Religion and Politics, Summer felt it best to not discuss her innermost thoughts on Vampires. It wasn't prejudice as much as it was just a genetic pre-disposition to just not trust them. They didn't like us much either, so all's fair in love and war.
"Well, there must be other places to hang in Shreveport. This, Fangtasia can't be the only hang out." Summer hoped this would be enough to divert the conversation to something other than Vampires.

"It's been too long since I had a proper night out. Been travelling so long, I've never really made the stopover and never made any friends in the process."
Her face had changed when she mentioned she never had any friends, it wasn't something you would normally notice unless of course - you spent a lot of time watching people's body language. It was at this, that Brandy decided to speak up.
"Quality better than quantity I always say. A good friend takes the place of 10 acquaintances quite easily."
Brandy knew a few people, and it was knowing people through other people that added to it. Jason, Sookie, Kyle, Pam, Sam - just a few that were all connected somehow. It was like a loosely-wound web.
And another moment, as she mentioned Fangtasia, Summer became obviously uncomfortable.
"Well, there must be other places to hang in Shreveport. This, Fangtasia can't be the only hang out."
"It's alright if your not comfortable with vampires, I'm not quite comfortable either. I am still shocked that vampires exist - brings up all sorts of questions for me. Like, what about werewolves, shapeshifters, and faeries? Hell, some people don't even believe in witches being able to cast real magic. How can you look at a vampire and take everything else for granted? It's crazy"
Brandy knew she could cast real magic, she was almost tempted to prove it to some non-believers too. But with her luck, they would probably go all 'fellowship' on her dark @ss.
"But I'm sure there is another club for us to get down-and-dirty and sexy. I think I'm up for that. I haven't felt like.. down-and-dirty sexy for a long time."

"Quality better than quantity I always say. A good friend takes the place of 10 acquaintances quite easily." while the statement was true, Summer hadn't had much in the way of acquaintances either. But she did appreciate the sentiment.
"It's alright if your not comfortable with vampires, I'm not quite comfortable either. well that was a relief, no uncomfortable questions. I am still shocked that vampires exist - brings up all sorts of questions for me. Like, what about werewolves, shapeshifters, and faeries? Hell, some people don't even believe in witches being able to cast real magic. How can you look at a vampire and take everything else for granted? It's crazy" what was that Summer was thinking about uncomfortable.
"Yeah, I guess the possibilities are endless." Summer took the final sip of her coke. "But it's not something I think about." she really didn't know what else to say to that at all. So said no more.
"But I'm sure there is another club for us to get down-and-dirty and sexy. I think I'm up for that. I haven't felt like.. down-and-dirty sexy for a long time." BB's last statement made Summer perk up, a huge grin spreading across her face.
"Now that we can agree on. I just really need to let loose, let my hair down and get wild" she giggled excitedly. "When you wanna set this night out for?"

Nothing like becoming friends with a girl who could help you loosen up and really have fun. Brandy had always been the mellow, friendly and maybe a little bit outgoing girl but never really the party type. And by golly, she wanted to - forget everything for a night and let your guard down. That was what being two young and beautiful women was all about!
"Now that we can agree on. I just really need to let loose, let my hair down and get wild"
Ah yes, that smile was genuine. A girls night out, no strings attached - and she would have to buy a new outfit wouldn't she? She wanted to go out and have fun, and be sexy - it wasn't like she was the type to take somebody random home. Especially when there was someone else she wanted more than anything.
"I should buy a new outfit on my discount, they have some pretty nice clothes where I work"
"When you wanna set this night out for?"
"How about this Friday night? Its a better night than ever I think. We can meet at.. oh wait, they do have a tiny club right around the town center. We can meet there around 9pm"
Brandy had to admit, she was really looking forward to this.

"How about this Friday night? Its a better night than ever I think. We can meet at.. oh wait, they do have a tiny club right around the town center. We can meet there around 9pm" BB radiated with joy at the night out and Summer was looking forward to it just as much. It had been too long since she'd went out to party and just go nuts and after the week she'd been having coupled with all the drama with the Herveaux's and Packmaster Flood, she figured she deserved this.
Summer thought back to the remark BB made about a new dress. She'd just bought work clothes and something for the pack meeting. But a girly night out needed something a little more seductive.
"You don't mind if I tag along and pick something up myself. Most of my wardrobe, what little there is of it, is jeans and shirts. I think I oughta have one last treat before my paycheck comes in."

"Are you kidding? I would love your company!"
Sure, shopping alone was nice - but shopping together for a girl's night out? There wasn't anything like it, that was for sure!
Their food was pretty much done, so Brandy had got up and paid the waitress for her bill and added a tip. Knowing Summer would follow suit, she waited outside the doors while she waited for her to pay as well.
"Lord.. I haven't dressed sexy in a long time. I don't even know where I should begin... "
Just the thought bought a blush to her cheeks.

"Are you kidding? I would love your company!" the genuine sweetness in her voice made Summer smile. She made no pre-concieved judgements. Just accepted her on face value. Something Summer seemed to have issues with regarding the female of the species.
"Great, I'll need your help. I'm hopeless at buying dresses." Summer got up a few moments after BB and paid of her meal with a smile. After the awful morning, things were starting to perk back up.
"Lord.. I haven't dressed sexy in a long time. I don't even know where I should begin... " BB blushed, Summer grinned.
"Well, we can help each other out. You can help reign me in if I get too OTT and I can help you with a little va-va-voom." Summer giggled like a kid in a candy store.

"Well, we can help each other out. You can help reign me in if I get too OTT and I can help you with a little va-va-voom.""Nothing wrong with a little va-va-voom! And a nice pair of shoes, I really don't think I own any 'vavavoom' worthy shoes"What was vavavoom? Something that showed a lot of skin, she supposed. Some strappy shoes that showed off her legs. She could do her hair, and her makeup - sure, why not? She had the package to look like a knock-out if she put a little effort in!
Instinctively she had reached her arm for Summer's, hooking it in hers as they made their way off to the shop. When they got there she had let Summer's arm go and her dark hues gazed off the clothing racks. Her boss had a pleasant smile on her face."Nothing like an employee who loves to shop where she works. I have a little something for you Brandy, but you go ahead and get some shopping in dear""Oh, thank you Ms. Robert. Alright, let me see.. I have a couple of looks in mind for you Summer. Let's see here.. "The first dress she picked out for Summer was a off-the-shoulder dress with fall-like colors.
The next dress was a darling little black number with flair.
And the last one, to mix up a bit wasn't a dress at all but rather a chopped black shirt with black pleather pants."Of course these are just suggestions, but what do you think? They all look like they could be potential clubbing' wear"Well, this was her first time going anywhere like a club, but she assumed these were the types of clothes usually worn.

"Nothing wrong with a little va-va-voom! And a nice pair of shoes, I really don't think I own any 'vavavoom' worthy shoes"
Summer laughed and smiled as BB linked arms with her. They looked like a pair of old friends to the untrained eye. But truth was they'd only really had there first proper meeting. "Oh we can't have you with va-va-voomless shoes, that just won't do."
BB walked her into the store she worked in and her boss gave her a warm welcome and the run of the store to find the perfect outfit.
Summer wandered around aimlessly, herself trying to find the perfect outfit for a girls only night out.
"I have a couple of looks in mind for you Summer. Let's see here.. " BB called over to her and showed her three very different outfits. The first dress was pretty, but a bit too bright for Summer's taste. "Definetly between the black dress and the pants and shirt." she looked back and forth at both items. "I can't make up my mind at all." Summer put her thumb to her mouth and chewed on her thumb nail.
((OOC: The link to the black dress is coming up as forbidden for me :S is there anyway you can host it on photobucket or tiny pic please hun?))

(( ooc: No problem hun, the new link is in that post ))
"Definitely between the black dress and the pants and shirt."
At this thought, Brandy had put the dress from the 'fall collection' back on the shelf. Currently she held up the black dress to Summer, and then she held up the pant set to Summer. She took a step back, held it up arms length and tried to picture Summer wearing either outfit.
"Well I like both, the dress seems a bit more daring but in the leather pants you can move your body more. Either way the guys are gonna be a looking, it just a matter of what part of your body you want them looking at"
If she wanted legs and brea$ts she should most surely go for the dress, if she wanted guys staring at her @ss then she should go with the pants.
"These are just my ideas, there are so many clothes so I won't be offended if you find something else that catches your eye"
As to what Brandy's eyes caught, however, wasn't anything at the moment. She had no problem finding clothes for others - it was finding clothes for herself that she had issues with.

"Well I like both, the dress seems a bit more daring but in the leather pants you can move your body more. Either way the guys are gonna be a looking, it just a matter of what part of your body you want them looking at" Summer threw her head back and let out her dirtiest laugh. "It's like you've known me forever." she tilted her head to the side and smirked. "Y'sure you've not been stalking me" she teased her. She knew full well BB was completely new to her. It's not hard to full any kind of shifter if there sense of smell was any good.
Eyeing over both items again, Summer took the dress and held it up to her. Imagining herself in it with a wry smile. Definetly an eye catcher. "Well, it is a special occasion huh?" she mused to herself aloud. "Yup. I'll take this one. I wear pants every day."
