Little Legacy: Chapter 1.9

Chapter 1.9: Mishaps and Meetings

Naturally, Charley slept horribly that night. Between the hard ground underneath her tent, the surges of pain from being shocked, and the realization that she was a spellcaster? Wasn't that something you found out when you were 10 years old and an owl dropped by your house and left you a letter, inviting you to come to an old castle and learn magic? Wasn't that how this worked? Not wake up one day in your mid 20's, going to work only to have some creepy lady talking to you in your head. 

So that's how her night went. And without saying anything, let's just take a quick look at how her work day went...

This happened so often I started a counter. By end of day we had reached: 7 dropped samples

3rd time visiting Victor

3 painful shooks to the mouth

2 mental breakdowns at the machines that already hated her

and 1 angry sim

Yeah... Let's just forget it even happened. Moving on. 

Good news! The next day was a day off for Charley and it was sorely needed after the one she experienced previously. She slept away the most of the morning. And as she laid in her tent planning her day, her fingers tracing over the crystal that she recieved the other night. Her phone buzzed near her head, causing her to almost drop the crystal on her face. She quickly answered her phone, showing the crystal back into her pocket for a later date.

"Hello? Charley? It's me, Minato. We've missed you the past couple nights, so I just wanted to check in to see how you were doing? Also to let you know Geekcon is in town, and I dunno if that's something you'd be interested in, but it really interests me so I thought if might interest you..."

Charley laughed for the first time in 2 days. "Of course I'll go with you. I need to... uh... get out of the house?" She hesitated, looking around her tent. 

"Nobody else wanted to come?" Charley questioned when she made it downtown and it was only Minato present. 

"Well, Akira has work and Penny has Colton. So it's just you and me. That isn't a problem is it?" Minato asked nervously.

Charley felt her cheeks flush, from the cold obviously. "No, that's certainly not a problem." Hey, why don't we take a selfie to commemorate the occasion!" Charley said fumbling for her phone in her pocket. "Cheese!"

So the majority of the Con was Charley checking out the various competitions, even though she was hardly skilled enough to win, she still had a blast. Minato was more interested in the Dr. Smoo marathon they were playing. But they were able to sit down and have good conversation despite it all. 

As the convention drew to a close, they agreed it was probably best to go home, shower, and kick back for the rest of the evening. They both seemed kinda reluctant to leave, but it was late and both needed a shower. So Charley hoped in a cab and headed back home. 

After she finished showering and was just relaxing in her text, her phone started ringing again. She peeked at the caller ID and it was Minato calling again. She grinned happily as she answered the phone. "Hi again." 

"Oh. Hey. I wasn't expecting you to answer the phone so quickly. Ahem." Minato cleared his throat. "Well I don't know about you... but I had a really great time today, but call me dense, but I really couldn't tell if you're feeling the same as me. So I'm going to come out and say it. I really like you, Charley. I find you super attractive, and I'd like to take you out on a date."

The smile on her face stretched from ear to ear. "I really like you too, Minato. I'd love to go on a date with you!"

"Great! Phew, that's a load of my chest, you don't even know. Well then, how does tomorrow sound? We can meet at the Rattlesnake Juice if you'd like?"

"Of course, I'd love to meet you there. How does 7 pm sound?" Charley proposed planning around her work day.

"Great. I'll see you tomorrow at 7 then. I'm looking forward to it." Minato said happily as he hung up the phone.

Charley hung up her phone, clutching it to her chest with a teenage-like squeal!
