tune

Winter sighed, and kept looking for her. "Astra?" He called again. "Where are you, shortstack?"

Astra was hiding behind a few vending machines, suppressing the urge to see if Winter was actually looking for her. I wouldn't be surprised if he just continued to stare at the sharks

(i showed my younger brothers the first "Llama's with Hats" video, and now they're walking around the house going "Caaaarrlll that kills people!" i have regrets. So many regrets XD)

Winter sighed, and kept looking around. "Astra!"

(Oh my gosh XD if that wasn't every kid when they saw that for the first time- Lmao)

She was tempted to scream his name back at him, but decided to just give him a little hint. She reached into her pockets and dumped out all of her change. It wasn't much, but you could hear it over the chatter

(every time one of them does something: "Caaaarrlll that kills people!")

Winter looked in her direction, and started walking over. "Astra?" He called again.

(it must get annoying quick lol)

She peeked her head out and smiled. "Hi, Winter! How are you?"

(there's three of them. So yes. Eye twitches)

Winter jumped slightly, and sighed. "Hello, Astra."

(That must suck omg. guess you can't show them a video ever again)

"How was your searching trip?" She giggled, quite happy with the revenge she got. Nobody got hurt, and I'm enjoying it. It's great revenge!

(lol yup. guess not lmao)

He rolled his eyes. "Great." he said, slightly sarcastically.

"Now you know what it's like, heh." She approached him with her hands behind her back. "Were you worried about me?" Astra smiled sweetly at him and batted her eyes

He shrugged. "Not worried so much as annoyed." he replied calmly.

Astra scoffed and wiped the smile off her face. "Rude…. Are you done here?"

He shrugged slightly. "If you are, sure."

"Great." She sighed and grabbed his arm, dragging him out of the place. It was nice for her, but the second it started to get too crowded like it was now? She would rather jump into a pit of snakes

He followed her, raising an eyebrow slightly, but not saying anything.

Astra led him out of the aquarium, her breathing noticeably quicker and heavier than usual. Shit. Just calm down. They're people. They won't hurt you. She led him out of the crowd, relieved when they finally escaped

Winter looked at her carefully. "Are you alright?" He asked slowly.

"D-do I not look okay?" She panted, slightly crouched over, her hands on her knees. Just breathe. You can't be seen like this in front of anyone, let alone Winter.

He shook his head slowly. "No, you don't." He replied. Is she dying? That would be just my luck, wouldn't it? Then he sighed. No, breathing hard is not a symptom of death, idiot.

Astra looked up at him, seemingly offended. "Gee, thanks." She straightened herself up, and tried her hardest to seem normal. "I'm fine. Let's go."

See? Not dying. What did I tell you? He sighed. God, I'm getting more sarcastic as I hang out with her. "Alright."

"Shit-" Astra's mind went blank. Where was she going to go? Back to her house? What if Winter actually wanted to stay inside? Useless. You're nothing but useless. She rubbed her temples and laughed nervously. "What, uh- what a… great and fun place," she commented as she nodded towards the aquarium. Can you stop freaking out?! Do you know how weird you sound right now? She winced at her own thoughts and words.

Winter shrugged. "I suppose, yes." He said slowly, raising an eyebrow. "Are you alright? You really aren't acting okay."

She shook her head frantically. "Nope! Do you want to do anything? Go anywhere?"

He made a face. "No?" He shrugged slightly.
