"Good evening Columbus! Y'all know that this is where I lived for a few years and boy were those years so much better." Some chuckle in the audience. "Ight y'all I have three stories to tell and update, remember the Jenna story I told last year?" Many cheered while others looked with confusion. She looked directly at the girl she was talking about, she was right in front of her, right in the front row. "Well I'd like you to meet her, dragged her kickin' n' screamin', come here Jen." There were many cheers as Jenna stood up, stepping onto the stage to be held at the side, mushed against Lyla.
"Y'all, I'd like you to meet Jenna, the girl I fell in love with all those years ago." She looks up from the floor to see the light blue eyes of the other, sparkling in the light of the theatre. Lyla takes the mic away from her face and gives a small reassuring smile, they weren't going to spill the beans today, not at least she doesn't think.
"How I found her was quite interesting. We were friends forever until eighth grade and then I dipped-- er, left for all you older folk. I left the country of Canada, nine years pass by and here she is, New York City, going to law school, workin' in a coffee shop. Best thing that's ever happened." The whole audience smiles at how cute the story is, even if it was the simplified version.
"Ight so that was the update to the Jenna story." Many frowns and whines could be heard, Lyla just chuckles into the mic before putting it high above her and bringing it back down, Jenna still against her. "Fine, fine, I'll tell one mini story that happened actually last night in my show in Cincinnati. So I called her on facetime since yes, I am finally rich enough to get Apple." She stops for a response which is laughter and wheezing. "And basically I get on a call with her to see that she's wearin' my hoodie. She was at my apartment babysitting my dogs since Lizzy came down here." She smiles at another girl that Jenna already knew was the girl she was speaking of. "And so the first thing I say is, uh, I say. Damn am I really getting that fucking old that I lost my elephant powers?" She unhooks herself from Jenna and walks a bit away from her. The girl just like a little duckling, follows her around.
"Lyla, give me the mic."
"Why?"
"Give." She did a hand motion that even spoke the word 'give'. The comedian nods and hands the mic over.
"I swear, this would be uncomfortable as hell but hey, that's basically my life." Her response was full of laughter and she felt herself smile. Lyla seems to have gone off stage which made her a little afraid. "Ya know, when we were younger when I was scared she'd hold my hand and stand right next to me, I'm wondering if she could be considered a simp."
"Hey I am not a simp." She comes back onto the stage, a few claps follow after.
"Yes you are, you gave me your hoodie."
"What?! No, I didn't, you stole that thing fair and square."
"Whatever, you still love me, simp."
Lyla rolls her eyes in defeat, another mic in her hand.
"So what if I am, it's not like when we would talk about George and Dream."
"You know what you and Dream have in common, being American and being a simp."
"Jesus enough with the simping, and you aren't a cute British boy I can flirt with."
"I'm still a cute girl you can flirt with."
"Hush up, anyway the next story I was going to tell is.. well I dunno, a ton has happened in the past few years so what do y'all wanna know?" Many yell out a range of things, Lyla seems to have dropped to the floor, sitting cross legged. Jenna decides to do the same thing, sitting so close that their knees are touching.
"So y'all want an update on my life?" Many cheer in response to "yes". "Alright well I haven't ditched New York even though it's expensive as hell and the taxes there feel like I'm in damnation but I still love it. Ohio is my safe spot and that's why I come here all the time. Found out my next tour is a Euro trip which spans from England to Germany. If I have time I might go visit the Kiwi's and Aussies but that's for next year's tour. Got into the voice acting business and have been working in that for about a year. And basically, am just waiting for this girl to get out of her last year of law school so we can live together." Many cheer from all the updates. Jenna looks at the other with a warm smile on her face, leaning her head on the other's shoulder.
"Now don't you go to sleep on me alright."
"I won't, just a power nap." Lyla leans down to kiss her forehead but stops as they were still in the theater. "Ight, so my high school life. Damn was that horrible. Was put with the pride drama kids so I guess it wasn't all that bad, plus I was familiar with the place."
An hour passed by and many were laughing so hard they started wheezing from the rest of the jokes and puns that Lyla put into her show, Jenna even had some of the fun in responding to some of the other's stories and jokes. Now they were in one of the fanciest places everyone could afford, Red Lobster. The whole group of nine girls sit at one of the long tables, chuckling and talking. Jenna sat next to Lyla as per usual and was just eating silently, only occasionally chuckling and poking in some fun at topics. Lyla continued to hold her hand under the table since both of them knew this would last until they had to leave.
"So I'm going to be staying with Courtney and Emma for a few days, or at least till the end of your tour, and I don't know about the rest of you guys." Lizzy puts out, biting into some crab meat after.
"Alice, when are we going back to Canada?"
"Uh a day after the tour ends."
"Alright so we'll still be sticking with you Lyla."
"Ight sounds great to me, what about you Jenna, you gonna stay here?"
"I have spring break time now and that will end a week from now so I'll stay."
"Lovely." Lyla smiles as she tightens her grip under the table.
"So I'll be taking the four of you to Cleveland?" Mel asks, eating the last of the garlic biscuits.
"Yep."
"Alright, Lyla, you'll have to get more mini donuts." Alice and Amelia smirk, they must really love the donuts she got last night.
"We'll hit Target after."
"Nice."
The rest of the night is filled with laughter as they talk, eat, and drink until it all comes to an end at Courtney and Emma's house.
"Night Jen."
"Good night." Both share one last good night kiss before drifting off in each other's arms.
