Turtle & Canary, Wed., 1/30

Amber recieved Turtle's email about the new boss. Or the new guy who was boss too. She was a bit nervous about him coming in, if he came in. She was doing her best to make sure the store was clean and presentable this morning. Straightening items on shelves, sweeping, dusting, then she put herself behind the counter and made herself useful by reading the handout. Again.

Today was going to go great. She was a good employee; she could handle anything.

Today's Squishy Flavors: Red, Blue, Almond Joy.

Turtle & Canary is open!

Especially during Amber's 4th period class.

She's around to help you!

La La.

Could she handle a grinning roommate ready to take her up on her Squishy experimenting offer?

Whether she was or not, Triela walked into the store and looked around. "Hi, Amber." she waved.

"Triela, hi!" Amber grinned and waved back at her.

"How's your new egg baby holding up?"

"I put her in a shoebox with a thick blanket of tissue. She should be fine until Friday," Amber answered. "Thanks for helping me yesterday."

"That's what roommates are for," Triela laughed. "Friends too."

"And you are the best I've ever had," Amber chuckled. "And just cause you're my first doesn't mean anythin. Ooo! You want to try a Squishy?"

"Maaaaybe," Triela drawled. "You did say I should, after all."

"Yah, you betcha I did," Amber said, leaning her elbows on the counter, watching her friend.

"So," Triela tilted her head curiously, "what are my options?"

"Blue, Red, or Almond Joy. Personally? I would go with the blue." It's yummy and Amber wouldn't mention how it turned your lips and tongue blue.

"Then I'll rely on your excellent judgment," Triela declared. "Blue it is!"

"Coming right up!" But Amber called out to Apu to fix it so she really wouldn't be blamed for the blue lips and tongue. She was smart like that. She did take it from Apu though and handed it over to Triela. "There you go!"

"And... I just drink it through the straw?" Triela asked as she looked at the extremely blue frozen beverage.

"Uh-huh," Amber replied. "But when you near the bottom, it's best to pluck the straw out and just knock it back. Getting a mouthful of Squishy is so good!"

"Okay," Triela smiled and sucked on the straw. "Wow," she blinked after a moment, "that's really sweet."

"It has a raspberry sort of flavor to it and it's my favorite," she said. "Do you like it?"

"Well," Triela mused, pausing to take another sip, "I'm not used to things being so sweet, but... I think I do."

Amber rested her chin in her hand. "What sort of things do you eat? Do you not eat chocolate, or cake, or have any candy at all?"

"Back home Cleas likes to cook, and she bakes pies and cakes, but... They're not usually this sweet. And we never get a whole lot of chocolate or anything either."

"Valentine's day is coming up. You and I might have to share a big box of candy seeing as we're both single," Amber replied. "Oh, but I'm only assuming you are single..."

Triela's laugh was bright and deeply amused. "Very, very single," she confirmed. "There aren't any boys back home, and I don't really know anyone here, so..." she trailed off with a shrug.

"Me too!" Amber giggled. "I knew this one boy back home who I thought was kinda into me? But he was killed before anythin came of it. And I don't really know anyone here either. I mean, I've met lots of boys but..." she shrugged her shoulders also. "More candy for us!"
