Arachne folded her arms over the saxophone she'd been given in music class, looking unseeing over it and at the far wall of her room. She was meant to be practicing playing the thing, that was the homework they'd been assigned anyways, and it felt good to get back to normal things after that trip but her mind was elsewhere.
Sepheran. She thought his name, and his face slid into her mind's eye and she smiled to herself for a moment, become serious almost immediately. Had she really asked him out? What had she been thinking? Not because she didn't like him, but because she had absolutely no clue what one did on a date, nor what would happen. Her ability to see the future, even say five minutes ahead, had since their return to the School been on the fritz, and she couldn't see anything. She wasn't sure what was causing it, and since she couldn't rely on her ability she would turn to a friend.
She put down the instrument and went to get her phone, sending Lizzy a short text.Text to Lizzy Hi, Need to talk. Free to meet? A.

She was in the midst of planning a party (a pizza party to be exact), and was trying to come up with a guest list when her phone started to buzz, slowly moving towards the edge of the desk where she had placed it. Before it could drop off the edge, however, she leaned to the side to grab it, heaving a sign of relief as she stared at the screen; a message from Arachne? Opening the text, she scanned through the new message, frowning momentarily before breaking into a smile. Dropping the pen in her hand to make it easier to type, she fired off a text of her own: 'Sure! Give me a time and place! <3'
It was a short reply, but straight to the point. All that party planning was starting to give her a headache anyway, and meeting up with Arachne will probably be a good idea. Besides, they did just go through a terrible field trip together recently...

Arachne was just putting the top back on the bug jar that she had for Skitter, watching him wrap the fat fly she'd shaken onto his web be covered swiftly in silk and be dragged away when her phone buzzed, alerting her to the text reply.
She tapped in a reply, letting Lizzy know that she could come over to Arachne's dorm room at any point when she was ready. Putting the phone down again she changed her clothes, sliding black fitted pants under her dress, before shrugging that off and replacing it with a red blouse with black lace detailing. Pulling a brush through her hair, she hunted around for a pair of boots as she waited for her friend.

'I'll be down in an hour or two!' With that text sent, Lizzy took a shower, dried her hair and basically prepared herself for the visit. While she wasn't sure what the ghoul had in mind activity-wise, or if she just wanted to talk (oh gosh, so many talks had occurred in the past few days), it never hurts to dress well for anything! Besides, it was fun, and she could use more fun and good news in her life currently.
An hour and a half later, she was standing outside Arachne's door. Running her fingers through her hair one more time before dusting off her skirt, she smiled and rapped on the door before calling out, "Arachne? It's Lizzy!"

Arachne had just found her other boot and was shaking dried up fly carcasses from inside it as she scolded her Skitter when she heard Lizzy at her door.
'Just because I was away for a while doesn't mean you use my clothes for body disposal.' she said, shaking her head. It wasn't as if she'd been on vacation, it had been days and days of fright and uncertainty. She was still having nightmares about it.
Anyway. She skirted the little pile of corpses, making a mental note to clean her room when she came back and hopped to the door, opening it and letting her friend in, the boot still in hand.
'Hiya, come in, come in.'

"Thank you~" She beamed, turning to give Arachne a quick hug before walking in, looking at the spider webs around her room with a smile; she had sort of imagined her room to be like this, but the webs were a surprise! The spiders must really love her... Then again, she's a spider too (sort of) and she got along well with the demoness.
She paused, spotting the Skitter that belonged to her friend; yes, she was a spider, but she also never found spiders cute... And Skitters can be disturbing. She had heard of giant ones which feed on baby Scareons! The thought made her shudder, but she showed no outward signs of her discomfort, knowing that these are not giant, baby Scareon eating Skitters and that they belonged to a good friend.
"So, what are we going to do today?" She looked expectantly at Arachne, her head tilted slightly to a side as she grinned, "Have something in mind?"

'Excuse the mess.' Arachne apologised as she gave her boot one more flick just to make sure before sliding it on to her foot. Her Skitter had slid down from where he was eating his meal, and was making inroads towards clambering on Lizzy when she spotted him and gave a quick shake of her head.
'Not today, we're going out.' she said and then looked at Lizzy and nodded.
'Clothes shopping. And lots of it.' she looked around her bag and saw it poking out from under her bed covers.
'I umm..well I kind of have something I need a new outfit for. So if you're up for it I'd like us to spend a good deal of time together today.'

"I don't see a mess," She giggled before looking at the Skitter, wriggling her fingers at it to sort of wave at it. Her face instantly lit up at the mention of 'clothes' and 'shopping', however, and she turned around to face her friend again, her grin widening; she could probably sparkle if it was possible to do so, and it was obvious that she was more than just excited at the proposal.
"Ohhh? What's the special occasion?" She couldn't help feeling curious, even if she never thought shopping required a 'special occasion' to be enjoyable. Holding out her hand for Arachne to take, Lizzy nodded, still grinning away, "Of course! A whole day spent shopping with you? I wouldn't have it any other way~"

Arachne just laughed at that, fishing around in her bag to see if her purse and keys were inside, picking up her 'phone and stashing that inside the bag as she deftly lifted the keys out.
She clasped her friend's hand after slipping the straps of the small red velvet bag around her other wrist, heading out her dorm room door and closing and locking it when Lizzy was also outside.
Keys back inside the bag, she turned to the ghoul and answered her question once they were walking.
'I kind of..asked Sepheran on a date.' she admitted, her cheeks colouring as she remembered.

Wowwww. She did not expect that at all!
Eyes widening a little, she took several seconds to process what her friend had just told her; a date? Like... A real date? While she had been grinning all the while, excited at the prospect of shopping, Lizzy couldn't help grinning even more at the good news; her face felt strained from all that smiling, but she was just so happy! Sure, she was rather surprised... But it was a good surprise! Sepheran is a gentleman (well, gentleboil), and she had no objections whatsoever with Arachne's choice!
In fact, she was rather delighted!
Giving the ghoul's hand a squeeze, she giggled, "Ohh? I'm so happy for you! Sepheran is a really nice boil and I noticed how you two supported each other when we were... Well, trapped on that island." Her face fell for a second and she frowned, but quickly perked up again as she regained her smile, "Soooo, when's the date?"

Arachne was excited as Lizzy was inside really, but she was more terrified than anything. She wondered if everyone felt like this when they asked someone out.
'He is, and he was so comforting. And he's..well, he's nice looking as well.' she said softly, blushing more as she looked at the ghoul. She saw the brief expression change and squeezed her hand in return.
'How've you been since we all got back?' she asked, and then gave a little half shrug.
'Uh well, we haven't really sorted that out yet, I needed time, and I think he might have too after the, well, after that jacking trip.'

She giggled when Arachne blushed; Sepheran is one lucky boil, yes he is! She didn't say that out loud, however, since she didn't want to make Arachne to blush too much... She gave a nod in response, "He is~ And yes, I suppose the trip took... Well, a lot out of many of us. I'm glad we made it back safe and sane for the most part though! And the experience helped us grow closer, yes?"
Her expression softened as she paused, shaking her head briefly, "I did have some... Nightmares about that trip. They're less frequent now, however, which is good! And yourself...?"

'Same thing. Some nightmares.' Arachne felt a little cold shiver run over her but she shook the feeling away. Her worst one was that returning had been a dream and she was still back on the Island and those that had died would forever stay that way.
'Less and less now. It's starting to feel like it was some strange hallucination, a fevered nightmare, you know?' she gave a short nod.
'True, but I'd have been happier getting closer through less dangerous circumstances..' she poked the tip of her tongue out at Lizzy.
'Soo..where do you suggest we go? I want everything new..even down to my undies.'
Of course Sepheran wouldn't be seeing those! But she wanted to feel pretty and confident from head to toe.

"It does... Except it wasn't," She smiled sadly before waving the hand currently not holding onto her friend's in a dismissive manner, "HOWEVER, we are out to have fun today! Let us not talk of such depressing subjects, yes?" She giggled, scooting a little closer to Arachne as her grip on the ghoul's hand tightened a little; its nice to have something solid to hold onto.
"Even down to your undies?" She couldn't help but giggle again; yes, her mind did go a little into the gutters at that, and she blushed at the thought; there was no way... Right...? Tapping a finger against her chin thoughtfully, she paused momentarily before a small, almost bashful grin spread across her face, "Well, there is this store at the Maul that sells the most adorable lingerie..."
She could feel her face heating up already.

Arachne laughed, squeezing Lizzy's fingers with her own.
'Yes..undies, panties, braaa - knickers!' she said, enunciating the words, catching the blush that had bloomed across her friend's face.
'I want everything new and pretty. It'll help my confidence. And you and I will be the only one seeing them.' she said, looking sidelong at the ghoul and then giggling.
'Okay, sounds good, lead on. I'm not even really sure of what sort of dress I want to wear.'
