My dreams are growing into [frustrations] open!

[Aradia Evans]

Ari walked into starbucks with a smile on her face. For once, she was completely blissful. She was having a great day. They had played an awsome concert last night and she got to watch most of the other bands play as well. Including Danny's. Just thinking about the few nights ago made her think that her whole life was just a mere dream, and that she would wake up: age sixteen, in her father's apartment with his fiance. But no, the whole thing was fortunetly and completely real.

The bell on the door made a soft ring as she entered and walked up to the counter. "Hi." she said giving a little wave. "I'll have a..." she paused and tapped her finger to her chin, trying to decide. "One white chocolate mocha." Ari finished as the employee gave a curt nod and went off to make her drink.

Minutes later Ari was sitting at a table by herself, sipping contently a her perfected coffee. She set it down for a moment and streched out arms out, realizing that she hadn't slept very well last night. That was odd. She couldn't even remember why she hadn't been able to. Ari slid the confusion from her head and pulled out her mp3 player and her new (well almost new becuase she'd gotten it at a local used bookstore two days ago) book and began to read it, instantly lost within the plotline.

[Andy Williams]

Andy walked into Starbucks, walking up to the counter. He looked over the menu, not sure of what he wanted. Everytime he was bored he always came to Starbucks, to get even more hyper, than he normaly is. People found Andy really weird, he didn't really know why. And they always said he was to happy and hyper all the time. But he really didn't care. Thats just the way he was - on a permanent sugar high and loving it.

He finally spotted what he wanted. "Yeah i would like a Espresso, Please." he said to the girl, smiling. Once she was done with his order, he grabbed his drink, looking for a place to sit. As he turned around he saw his best friend Ari, reading a book and listening to some music. He walked over, plopping down across from her. As he did this she looked up at him. He smiled a big smile. "Hey Ari" he said, taking a sip of his drink.

"How have you been? Havn't seen you in a while." he said, setting his drink down. He loved this girl - and not in the creepy love way, just friend love. She was awesome, and was an amazing rhythm guitarist. And she had amazing hair. "Your hair looks extra cute today" she said, chuckling.

[Aradia Evans]

Ari was startled out of her book by a voice. She smiled and looked up to see Andy. "Hey Andy! I know it's insane that we have found time yet." she replied, looking at the page number in her book, closing it and stuffing it into her black messenger bag. Ari took another sip of her coffee and set it down on the table, sliding it slowly towards Andy. "You know you want some." she sang out playfully, taking in turn his espresso and taking a super small sip, as to not leave him with nothing. She whistled and slid his cup bad to him. "You saw nothing." she added raising an eyebrow slightly.

"As does yours." Aradia added, giving him a genuine smile. She loved Andy to death: he was one of her best friends, which seemed to be hard to comeby these days, considering she'd seen almost nobody since the tour started. But she was happy that she was getting to see everyone again.

[Andy Williams]

She looked up at him. "Hey Andy! I know it's insane that we have found time yet." she said, looking to the page she was reading and closing the book. She took a sip of her drink, then setting it down and sliding it toward him. "You know you want some." she said, playfully, and grabbing his espresso and taking a sip of it. He grabbed her drink, taking a sip. "Dude, this is good. What is it?" he askes, looking up at her and giving it back - as did she. "You saw nothing." she said, raising her brow.

"As does yours." she said, commenting on his hair. Did it really look good? He hadn't taken much time messing with it that morning, he just wanted to leave and find something to do. "Does it really look okay? I figured it would look like shit. I took barely anytime on it today" he said, looking at her.

He was happy that he finally got too see her. It had been a while, and he truley missed her.

[Aradia Evans]

Aradia smiled again. "Well I'm glad you like it." she replied nodding her head. "It's a white chocolate mocha. That's what I usually get nowadays." Aradia said looking at a piece of her hair. "I need to dye it again now that I think about it." she added absentmindedly before coming back into the conversation.

"Dude it looks awsome. I acctually thought my hair looked pretty bad. I need to get it cut and dyed. Plus, I just brushed it this morning." Aradia answered before giving Andy a playful smile. "But I'm glad you like it." she added, taking back her coffee and taking another small sip, savoring the drink before swallowing. "So what's been up with you? Like we've said, I haven't talked to you in ages." she asked him curiously, looking up from the table into Andy's eyes.

She had been pretty curious as to what he had been up to. Usually they would send at least a text or something when anything imporant happened. Instantly, Aradia felt bad for not telling him about Danny yet. She really should have dropped him a call for that news.

[Andy Williams]

"Well I'm glad you like it." she said, smiling at him. "It's a white chocolate mocha. That's what I usually get nowadays." she said, telling him what drink it was. "Dude! I am getting that from now on." he said, smiling.

"I need to dye it again now that I think about it." she added in. "I dont think you need to dye it! It looks shweet... Im thinking about getting green in my hair." he said, happily.

"Dude it looks awsome. I acctually thought my hair looked pretty bad. I need to get it cut and dyed. Plus, I just brushed it this morning." she said. "You're hair doesn't look bad! I like it. I cant even remember if i straightened it when i woke up..." he said, trying to remember if he had straightened it.

"But I'm glad you like it." she said, taking back her drink and taking a sip of it. "So what's been up with you? Like we've said, I haven't talked to you in ages."

"Dood i know! I have missed you... but i havn't really been doing anything. Just sitting around like usual, getting hyper. I havn't had really anyone to hang out with lately" he said, a small frown on his face.

"So how about you? I havn't got any calls or text's from you lately... anything good or bad happen?" he asked her, curiously.

[Aradia Evans]

Aradia pouted a little, her eyes still sparkling and happy. Obviously she was joking. "But then I won't get to steal your drink. It's not fun when you get the same thing." Ari smiled and shrugged. "Oh well I s'pose I'll just get somethin' else. Now onto hair." Ari added taking another look at her own. "I'm gonna do something different with it. Nothing drastic, but mabye some different colors. blood red streaks and mabye I'll add some more black." Ari raised an eyebrow before Andy couold protest. "That's a biiig mabye though."

"It looks like you did, but I can never tell. I know I didn't straighten mine. I'm surprised it hasn't like, gone all curly." Aradia replied, finding it slightly weird to be talking about hair. "I'll have to join yo next time on your quest for extreme hyper-ness. We used to always do that together." she said smiling as she thought about that one time that they had been hanging out with each other and had slurped down five different energy drinks each.

"Ha well..." Ari started, her smile getting huge. "I have a boyfriend now." she sang out playfully.

[Andy Williams]

"But then I won't get to steal your drink. It's not fun when you get the same thing." she said, pouting, but he could tell she was joking by the look in her eyes - they were still sparkling and happy. "Well i guess you are out of luck my dear." he said, smiling, and lightly laughing.

"Oh well I s'pose I'll just get somethin' else. Now onto hair." she said to him, she took another look at her hair. "You get something else then that mean i can steal and take some of yours... but then again you would be able to do the same." he said, looking at her.

"I'm gonna do something different with it. Nothing drastic, but mabye some different colors. blood red streaks and mabye I'll add some more black." - - - "That's a biiig mabye though." she said. "Well to be honest i think that would look really good on you," he said smiling. She was probably thinking he would protest and tell her not too do it. But the idea sounded cool.

"It looks like you did, but I can never tell. I know I didn't straighten mine. I'm surprised it hasn't like, gone all curly." she said. "Hmmm... maybe i did then." he said, taking one last big gulp of his drink, and setting down the cup. "I'll be right back..." he said, walking up to the counter and ordering the same drink she had.

Once he was back with his drink, he sat down. "I'll have to join yo next time on your quest for extreme hyper-ness. We used to always do that together." she told him. "Yeah. Fer Sure. Next time i plan on doing that i will so have you come over." he said, chuckling.

"Ha well..." - - - "I have a boyfriend now." she told him. He looked at her weird. He pouted playfully, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" he asked, still pouting. "So whats he like? Whats his name? Do i need to talk to him and tell him to not hurt you?" he said, chuckling. "Cause if he does, well i am sorry dear. But the boy will realize it was the biggest mistake he has ever made." he said, looking at her and taking a sip of his drink.

[Aradia Evans]

Aradia smiled, pleased that he agreed that it would look good. "Are you gonna do anything with your hair?" she asked him, tilting her head to the side as she waited for an answer. "Also, I'm thinking of getting another tattoo, mabye a piercing, but ya know, I'm not sure if I want either, I'm stil thinking aout what to get."

Ari raised her eyesbrows when he returned with the same drink she had. She took a long sip of her drink and shook it to indicate that she was out. "Uno momento por favor." Ari told him, not even attempting a Spanish accent. She chuckled at her own voice. It always sounded weird without the accent. She held up a slender finger and walked over to the counter just as Andy had a few moments ago. She returned a little while later with a carmel and chocolate syrup covered drink. "Frapp with extra whipped cream and chocolate and carmel syrups." she explained, taking a sip of her extremely sugary drink, letting out a sigh of satisfaction.

"Well you could always come over right after this. We always have plenty of energy drinks lying around. Everyone who is in or works for the band is addicted to rockstars so we may not have any of those, but we have loads of monster and red bull." Ari explained to him before taking another long sip of her coffee. (Well there wasn't a lot of coffee in it, it was more of a 'would you like some coffee with that sugar' type of drink she had going on.)

"His name's Danny Smith, and he's on tour with us. He's in X-it hollywood and I've known him for a loong time." Ari said to Andy, her smile getting wider and wider. "Don't worry, I doubt he'd hurt me, I've known him since we were kids." she added, pleased that Andy would do something like that for her. "But thanks for the offer."

[Andy Williams]

"Are you gonna do anything with your hair?" she asked him, after he commented on how her idea would look awesome. "Well I want to... but i can't really think of anything to get." he said, trying to think of anything he could get done. "Have any idea's that would look good?" he asked her, curious. He really was wanting something different, he always had all black, and it always looked the same.

"Also, I'm thinking of getting another tattoo, mabye a piercing, but ya know, I'm not sure if I want either, I'm stil thinking aout what to get." she said. He smiled, "Well whenever you want to go get a tattoo, you should tell me and i will come with you and get one." he said, tracing over the designs on the table with his finger.

"Uno momento por favor." she said, getting up and getting another drink. "Frapp with extra whipped cream and chocolate and carmel syrups." she told him, as she came back to the table, taking a sip out of it. He looked at her as she sat down, and took her drink, taking a sip out of it. "That's good." he said, smiling at giving her back her cup. "You didn't see that. he said, teasing her.

"Well you could always come over right after this. We always have plenty of energy drinks lying around. Everyone who is in or works for the band is addicted to rockstars so we may not have any of those, but we have loads of monster and red bull." she said to him, taking another sip of her drink. "That would be awesome.. that is if you really want me over." he said, taking a long sip from his drink.

"His name's Danny Smith, and he's on tour with us. He's in X-it hollywood and I've known him for a loong time." she told him, her smile getting wider. "Don't worry, I doubt he'd hurt me, I've known him since we were kids."- - - "But thanks for the offer." she said. "Well if anything ever happens, you better tell me Ari.... im here for you." he said smiling.

[Aradia Evans]

"Hmm..." Ari put her finger on her chin comically, as if exaimining him. "I think you should keep the black, because that's awsome and mabye add some colors, however you want. I like green on you." she replied finally shrugging and taking another sip of her sugary drink. "Or you could get pink to bring out your masculine side." she added, obviously joking.

"That'd be awsome. I have some ideas of stuff for me. but I can't choose." she pouted slightly before digging through her backpack that she carried around with her/ (just in case she had some sort of burst of inspiration for something.) Finally, she pulled out two pieced of slightly wrinkled paper. She layed them out in front of her and Andy, trying to smooth the creases over. She gave up after a while, giving a little shrug and turning them to Andy, revealing a scorpion, a spider on a web. a black and red skulls and crossbones, and an intricate design of a black heart with a bright red rose (complete with thorns poking the heart.)

"Of course I want you over, sweetie, you're a bestie." she replied sincerely, giving him a little smile. "Plus, we can watch I Am Legend and Independance Day and every other Will Smith movie. You know that an all estrogen band like ours would have all over those. Ari smirked at him. "I will Andy, I promise." she gave him another genuine smiled and held up her hand like a girl scout.
