The rest of the lights had been beautiful, and by the time that Ana got Aria up to her apartment, she was cold...but even more excited to have a friend come over. Again, that whole idea that this friend had no expectations from her was just…well. It was intoxicating.
“So! Um! This is where I live, it’s not much still, I’m you know…in the process of making it more of a home, but it’s getting there!
Rocking on her heels for a moment, Ana forced a grin, hoping that she wouldn’t be judged too harshly for the place…it was getting better…but. It still felt…
Like it wasn’t hers. Like she was a guest in what was supposed to be her own home. But…with enough things...if she could get more stuff...more memories…
It would become a home, she was sure of it.
“What kind of cookies should we make? I’m thinking…maybe chocolate chip? Or sugar? Or…or both? I think I have icing and some sprinkles to decorate the sugar cookies…actually…”
That sounded like it would be a lot of fun. “Why don’t we just do the sugar? I want to decorate things with you!”

"No, no that's fine! It's cute!" Aria said, looking around. It was better then where she lived, filled with memories of people who were no longer around. "I like what you've done with it so far. It will be even cuter when it's all done." She glanced around, looking at all the things that made Ana... Ana. "...Have... Have you thought of maybe getting a pet? It might help you feel more at home?" Something to take Ana's mind off how quiet things where, how alone she might be. "Maybe even a room mate?" She perked up when the other started talking about cookies. "We can start the sugar cookies, and then see where things take us from there?" Aria couldn't remember ever making sugar cookies. She'd baked cookies before but... Nothing jumped to the front of her mind for it. Aria bounced, following after Ana with a smile. "... Will you teach me? I know I've made cookies before, but I don't think I've ever made sugar cookies."

Oh…Ana paused and hesitated, giving a little smile. “I hadn’t actually thought about getting a pet, no…but it might be worth looking in to…as for a roommate, It’s only a one bedroom, so that would be a little awkward, I think. But…maybe when my lease is up I could look for something more!”
It…actually might be kind of nice, not living alone.
When she was alone…she tried to keep busy, keep her brain moving…tried to just not think about…how empty it was…and most of the time that worked!
…other times it really, truly did not.
Shaking her head, Ana grinned at her new friend. “Yes! Yes I am, that sounds wonderful! Sugar cookies and decorating them and then eating them! The very best part of everything. I know how to make them, so come on, Ar! I can help you!” Obviously. She could always help. Swiftly, she began to gather what was needed, humming as she did so, and explaining each step to Aria.

"Hmm... I suppose that does pose a bit of an issue... Though I think a pet might help." Maybe she'd take her own advice. Her place felt so much more empty now then she ever thought it would be. "Um... This might be a little forward, considering we just met but, I've uh, got space if you ever want to spend the night or something." Aria laughed as Ana blasted through the kitchen grabbing what she needed and blitzing through the instructions. "Wait wait wait! Slow down. What's the rush yeah? You said your brother can't really go anywhere so... Let's try to make these the best we can, and not get flour all over the place." A grin spread on her face, regardless. "Unless you want to get down and dirty with me~? Are we gonna make a mess Ana?"

Ana smiled at the offer and nodded. “Yeah? Okay…I’ll take you up on that. We might have just met, but we’re both on the same side, and it’s good to have friends, have people that you can depend on.”
Have people who didn’t expect anything from you…have people who wanted to be your friend because…they wanted to. Not because they had…obligations.
Oh. Oh that was something she hadn’t really pondered before but…now that the thought had been formed…she realized that it was right, and oh how she hated it.
“Huh?” Anastasia blinked at Aria for a moment, brows furrowing. “What? I…sorry. I guess…I spaced out for a second. I don’t…I mean, I don’t normally get dirty when I bake, but I guess I should stay focused, you’re right! No, I don’t think we’ll make a mess, I won’t let my thoughts get the better of me again, I promise.”

"Heck yes. Frieeeeends are the best." Aria tilted her head for a moment when Ana got quiet. "Are... you okay..?" She blinked for a moment before grinning. She felt the reference went right over the other's head but it was kinda... cute. "Sometimes... those thoughts are the best kinda ones?" She said hiding behind a blush. "But uh... anyway. Cookies. For your brother... and maybe some extras for us?" Orangeish Sherbert aha how do i do this again

Ana nodded, giving a grin. “Yeah. Cookies for my brother, and lots of cookies for us. I’m okay, I promise. It’s just. Nice that you never knew me before. I’m not used to that, and it’s a feeling that I appreciate, seriously. You can get to know me for…for me and not wish I was who I used to be, so…”
She wrinkled her nose and grinned once more at the other girl, reaching for her hand and tugging her closer. “Be good and learn to make cookies so we can eat them and decorate them…and then watch a movie or something. And you can stay the night if you want and everything will be wonderful.”
Maybe they could even cuddle while watching the movie…that…
Well. That sounded utterly divine.

Aria reached over the counter, placing a hand on Ana's. "Even if I did know you back then, and I forgot... What matters is that we're here now, right?" They could relearn about each other if need be. The girl's eyes seem to light up at the mention of movie and a sleepover. "Ooooh, oh I'm SO down for a movie. Did you have one in mind?" Perhaps a dumb question when neither could recall very much but.... Aria, was sure they'd find something. "You do realize if we're doing movie night, we're contractually obligated to get all the pillows and blankets and make a nest or something right."

Ana nodded, giving a small smile. “Fine, fine. I’m down for making a nest…if you want to go get that ready, I’ll get the boring part of the baking all finished, and we can decorate when they’ve cooled.”
She felt…happy.
Hopefully she could hold on to the feeling and it would continue…if not…well. At least she’d have the memory of tonight.
