@myersbprd​​ (a flashback of the life and times of riley and john’s friendship)

she’s seated cross legged on the floor of an apartment that’s still half-filled with boxes, finally graduated and out of the manning family house and out on her own, a mountain dew drank from because it has caffeine and she’d forgotten to buy coffee or really even stock her apartment with any form of food yet. a rather large fish tank remains just inside the door way where she’d failed in her attempt to drag it any further. really, it’d been an incredible feat that she’d made it up to the third floor by herself. it’d been sheer will, determination, and the muscles she’d developed in years of dancing. still, it was heavier than she’d been able to get any further and she certainly wasn’t going to be able to lift it onto the dresser herself. a box is located to the right of her knee with various strange looking objects scattered around her: tubing, white ceramic rings that resemble the peanuts that are used for packing which are-- true to form-- spilling out everywhere, little black looking bags with dark dust on the floor next to them. a big sheet of directions is held in her other hand, brown hues moving from it toward the now opened door that john just entered, her having called him to come over earlier. 

“now you show up, after most of the hard work is done.” her tone is teasing, directions floating out of her hand onto the floor and can of soda placed next to it. “i’m in need of your mighty vampire strength. that tank isn’t gonna set up itself and then i’m kidnapping you to the pet store. i’m getting a turtle and you get to pick him out with me.” she had a new apartment, so why not get a turtle too? her first real pet that was hers to look after and take care of.
