When two strangers meet. [Chozara & Riley]

Rose Garden is a wonderland of magic, fun, shopping, and exotic things that will surely put a smile on your face. Everything from the food and drinks here involve magic. Even the street lamps here are composed of glowing Lacrima Crystals. This is the reason why people prefer spending their time here on their day off.

Riley walked on the crowded street, her mouth hanging open at it's beauty. She had never before visited the rose garden but had heard a lot about it's beauty and turns out that all the rumors were true. Looking around, she saw couples walking together, teenagers hanging out with their friends, families enjoying themselves. This made Riley envy them as she had no friends since she was new to the town. But she did not let her spirit go down "That doesn't mean I can't have fun alone." With a smile, she walked into the nearest shopping mall. She looked around for a bit until she realized that she was lost as she could not find her way out. "Note to self, next time, carry a map of a place you don't know."

Chozara didn't really have a goal in mind. He was just wandering aimlessly and ended up in Rose Garden. The place was a true beauty indeed. All of the lights were spectacular! Many other places are dull compared to the beauty of this one. He looked around and though, Wow! This place is beautiful! I'm kind of happy I ended up here." He didn't know what to do first. There were so many activities that looked like lots of fun! He decided to o into the shopping mall. He had the jewels to spare, and could use some new clothing. Upon entrance to the mall, he encountered a girl that appeared to be lost. She was actually pretty attractive. "You look lost. Do you need some help?" He asked the girl. He wasn't sure how he could help her. This was his first time being in the mall.

Riley turned around at the voice and came face to face with a boy, probably the same age as her. He had black hair and pretty blue eyes. "Oh no..well..I'm kind of lost. This is my first time in the rose garden and I forgot the map. Silly me." Riley didn't know what to say so she kept blabbing. "And yes i could use some help. Could you help me find the exit? As you can see I've already done my shopping." She waves her shopping bags in the air "Anyways, my name is Riley." She stretched her hand forward for a shake.

Chozara shook her hand and said, "I'm Chozara! It's nice to meet you! As for the exit, I think it should be straight down that way," Chozara said, pointing to a long hall to their left. "Although, it could not be the exit. This is my first time in Rose Garden, and my first time in this mall, but I'm pretty sure the exit is over there. What made you come to Rose Garden?" Chozara asked the girl.

"No that's not the exit. I checked it out already. And as far as why i'm here.....I just heard a lot about this place and wanted to check it out. But if i knew this would happen i would've just stayed at home." Riley sighed. "Anyways, what brought you here? This is your first time too. So why did you come alone. I'm mean, I don't see anyone with you so I assume you came alone."

"Well, Nothing brought me here actually. I was just wandering around since I'm not sure what to do. Sorry for not being of any help, I can be an airhead sometimes." Chozara said, putting his right hand behind his head. "I came alone because I have no one to accompany me. I'm usually alone."

Riley couldn't help but smile at his statement of being an airhead "It's okay. Chozara, don't mind me asking but why are you usually alone?" Riley instantly regretted asking that. It's not her business so she shouldn't have asked. "Sorry. You don't have to answer that. I just don't think before i speak. It's a really bad habit." Riley debated with herself for a while. "You wanna go to the food court." At the cue her stomach growled in hunger. All she could do was give Chozara a sheepish grin.

"I'll be glad to answer it. It's just that, I have a hard time making friends. That never came easy for me." Chozara said. "The food court would be nice. I'm actually quite hungry. What do you feel like eating? I'll be happy to pay for it." Chozara said, smiling at the girls stomach growling.

Riley's smile widens. "Well then i'll be your friend. And yes to the food court we go." Riley raises her hand as if leading a revolution. After earning a few looks from people around, Riley decides to stop her childish antics. "So what chu wanna eat?" She asks swinging her bags as she walks. "I'm in the mood for some McDonald's and no you are not gonna pay." She states.

Chozara smiled."You're the first friend I've ever had." CHozara said, walking with Riley, getting a few stares himself, although he wasn't sure why. "It's only natural that the guy pays. And sure, that sounds fine." Chozara said, laughing a bit at the cute way she was walking.

"Good. And who says a guy should pay? I prefer paying for my own food. Unless of course, it's free." Riley continued walking. "You know, you seem like a great guy. You should make more friends." She states "I mean even I don't have many friends since I'm new here." They finally reach the food court. Riley grabs a table. "Come on."

"That's what my parents always told me. If you feel so strongly about it, then you can pay." Chozara followed her suit. Thanks! It's not that I don't want them, it's just that, sometimes it's hard for me to speak to new people. I don't know why its was so easy for me to talk to you. You must be special." Chozara followed her to the table and sat down.

"Pft. I'm not special. I'm an original piece. One of a kind." Riley flops down on the chair. "Oh wait, now I'm gonna have to go and order. Which means I'm gonna have to move. Ugh." She groans in frustration. Riley's not an active person. She only moves when she has to. Her preferences are pretty simple. Relax and do absolutely nothing.

"Well, I could do it for you, but then you'd have to let me pay"[/color] CHozara said with an evil kitty look on his face. >:3

Riley squinted her at Chozara. "You do know that's counted as blackmailing. Right?" She turned her head to the side and saw how far she would have to walk. She debated with herself for a while before sighing in defeat. "Fine. But only on one condition. You're are going shopping with me after this and also buying me ice-cream."

"Deal." Chozara said, nodding his head. "What do you want?"

Riley smiled at Chozara. "Um" Riley began thinking as to what she wanted. "I'll just have a grand chicken classic." After Riley told him what she wanted she leaned back in the chair and stretched her muscles.

Chozara nodded at what she said and headed toward the ordering countering. It was pretty empty to be a fast food place. At the ones Chozara had been to, the service was nothing more than slow. He remained at the counter until he got their food, getting a few blushes from people that passes by. When he returned to Rile, he handed her her food, sat down, and began eating. He doesn't have the best eating habits, food tends to end up on his face.

Riley waited there till Chozara returned with the food. When he placed it on the table, she grabbed it and started eating, better yet, started hogging. She looked up at Chozara. Guess she wasn't the only one with bad eating habits. She couldn't help but laugh at the cute way he was eating, getting the food on his mouth. She slightly laughed as she picked up a tissue paper from the tray and offered it to him.
