I thought this holiday was supposed to be good for couples. So far it's been really disappointing.

I'll be happy if I never have to hear "Valentine's Day" ever again.

[And boyfriends have been equally disappointing; she feels like she's barely seen him for days. Stupid Sokka and his stupid other-girl friends. Stupid holiday. Stupid- ... everything.

She'll be in her room sulking and wanting to punch things. And she might not respond right away, either- she has to have a conversation with a certain someone...]

What!?

[kyoshi]

[Okay, by that reaction she can probably just take Winry off the list of potentials. Even Suki's surprised.]

L... like I said.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

That's -

Did you two have a fight, or...?

[kyoshi]

I thought we'd just fixed things. Everything was fine, until... he came to see me and said... [She really doesn't want to remember all of that again.] ...He loves someone else. It's over.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Did you at least pay him back for breaking your heart?

[kyoshi]

I hit him for it. It didn't make me feel any better. [In fact she just feels downright miserable all around. If not for... no, no. She's not going to talk about him yet.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Suki, if I had known I would have told you. I'm sorry it's turned out like this.

[kyoshi]

I just wish I knew what to do now... [This is a nightmare- nothing like she imagined they'd be.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I wish I knew how to help you.

Do you want company?

[kyoshi]

If... if you want to come over, I...

[Yeah, she's not even sure. Maybe she should get out of the house though- staying in the same place as Sokka isn't going to help things at all.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Why don't we hang out at the café?

[kyoshi]

You mean Seventh Heaven? [That sounds safe enough.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I was thinking Kat's Kradle, but we could go there instead.

[kyoshi]

I don't think I've ever been there... where is it?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

It's the building that's always being repainted.

[kyoshi]

Oh, that one. I didn't know it was a shop... okay, we can meet there. [And maybe she'll feel better by then.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

All right, I'll see you then.

[kyoshi]

Yeah... thanks, Winry. [And she's off~]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

[kyoshi]

[On the other hand, Suki will, jogging over and blinking at the bizarre amount of weird paintings. It sort of looks like one of Sokka's drawings.

...That leaves a sour taste in her mouth, so instead she focuses on Winry, lifting a hand to greet the other girl.]

Hey...

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Hey, let's go inside.

[kyoshi]

Thanks. [Suki heads in after her, glancing around at the inside as well, intrigued as she looks for (and finds) a good spot to sit. It's a nice place, not what she expected at all when Winry had suggested the cafe. Maybe it's the style of a different world...?]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

So... are you feeling a little better, at least?

[kyoshi]

[The answer may surprise her.]

I think so, yeah. I talked to some people, and... [Met Karol.] Well, it doesn't really bother me so much now.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Huh? Really? Is there a specific reason for this?
