Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ashley waved goodbye to Michelle and her friends, the day had not gone as she planned. She led Emily out of the skate park, making sure not to let go of her hand. She hoped there would be someone home she could talk to but, wanted to make sure there was some back-up if there wasn't. She knew Kevin would be no help, teenagers don't talk to parents about this stuff, the only one left would be Ringo, but due to her outgoing attitude it wasn't a guarantee that she'd be home. "is there anyone you would feel comfortable talking to about this? I'm not sure how much help I can be... and Talking to people can help... lessen the sting a bit." she asked, hoping the first person to come to Emily's mind wasn't 'Ringo'.

Ashley, not knowing where either of them lived, hoped that either Ringo was home, or that they would be reachable on phone if she wasn't.

Just then Ricky drove down the street and saw the two girls, he pulled over and stuck his head out the window. "Well, this isn't a site you see often, Not only is Ashley being nice, but she's being nice to Emily!" he said, but upon seeing Emily's condition decided joking wasn't appropriate. "What's wrong?"

"Emily... and Natasha... well they kinda..."

Ricky got out of his car and went up to Emily, "What did she do?" he said giving Emily a hug. Ricky looked at Ashley, who looked lost, "I'll take it from here, don't worry Ashley."

Ricky pat Emily on head, "Oh it's alright, not the end of the world is it?" Ricky pulled away from Emily and looked her in the eye, "Breaking up with a girl is no big deal, especially if that girl is Natasha." he gave Emily a little smile.

Ricky sighed, "That's kinda what I meant. She's not wroth crying over if that's how she's going to do it. Honestly it should have happened sooner." Ricky added the last part with another long sigh. "Come on, you obviously need more help cheering up." Ricky led Emily to his has and opened the door for her. "You're chariot awaits Princess." Ricky bowed and grabbed Emily's hand, and led her in the car, kissing her hand before closing the door. "Your sweet prince will take good care of you."

Ricky got into his car and began to drive, "Don't worry after a little fun with your friends you'll forget all about her."

Ricky looked ahead and drove, when he got to their destination he smiled and got out. Ricky walked to the other side of the car and opened the door for Emily, "I hope your ready to have some fun, because boy are you in for a lot of it."

Ricky opened the door and went inside, holding open for Emily. "The others should be getting off soon, but we may have to sit back and wait a bit depending on how busy they are. Ricky explained, upon eying the inside of the little coffee shop he sighed, "Yeah it'll be a while... the flash mob just came back from another trip around the revolving door." Ricky groaned at the sounds of orders being called out by the tightly packed customers.
