"Never mind that, never mind that! You just gotta enjoy it, see? Just sit back and... heh?" Mayumi said, interrupted by someone tugging on her sleeve.

She turned, noticing...

She really was close to hyperventilating. Seriously.

She didn't even register what the girl had said, really. She simply took her arms away from Kyoko only to put them around the new girl instead.

"OH. EM. GEE. Another cute giiiiirl! This must be a miracle! Oh, God, I don't know what I did to deserve this gift, but whatever it was it wasn't enough! Thank you God! Thank you Mom! Thank you Dad! I..." she stopped, suddenly releasing her arms from the girl.

"H-huh?" she stammered out, staggering backwards. Stray tears fell from her eyes. She wiped them away, looking confused.

"Th-that's funny... why am I...? Ah..." she sniffed. 

"I'm... fine... really..." she slowly stood up, grabbing the water bottle from Kyoko's hands and downing half of the bottle in one gulp.

"Aha... ahaha... I don't know what came over me. Sorry..."

That way she could listen to [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAx24LGljvs]her music[/url] while listening to what this girl had to say.

"I work at the record store down the street," she stated, matter-of-factly, pointing towards the store. "Maybe that's where you've seen me."

She tossed the now empty Coke can into the nearby trash bin.

"You work at the nearby bakery, correct? Please get me a discount on your sweet buns."
