Roomates

Zara had already totally unpacked, and it looked a lot like she imagined in her first dream during the time on Earth. She dreamt of a cozy little room of silver and blue. In this dream she was laying in Astrid's arms and watching a projection of the lights of the grid after a long day at classes. Dreams were beautiful things. She was so glad she had experienced one.

Astrid looked over at Zara and messed with her hair yet again. She sighed and flopped down on her newly made bed. She smiled at the familiar feel of the sheets. One thing she had missed about Earth where the people.

Zara glanced up at Astrid and smiled, dotting the last problem on her worksheet. She looked so peaceful. "My home ed class was pretty neat," she tried to make some sort of conversation. Astrid had a tendency of going quiet, and Zara wanted to make sure she was okay.

[astridhail]

"Really?" Astrid asked, "What did you learn?"

Zara liked talking, Astrid loved the sound of the girl's voice but every once in awhile silence was nice. She knew she sometimes worried her program by going quiet.

[zara]

"Just a few small recipes," Zara smiled, "That's what you call them right?" She stuck her pen cap-end into her mouth to chew on it, swinging her legs as she lay on her tummy. She was happy the user even asked.

[astridhail]

"Yeah that's what we call them," Astrid said softly, "What kind of recipies?"

Astrid was getting tired as she reached into her pocket for the last 3 pills. She looked around for soemthing to take them with so she wouldn't have to dry swallow. Finding nothing she took them in secsession.

[zara]

"Just some small stuff," Zara planned on surprising Astrid when they got to the grid again. She watched the user girl take her pills. That was something she didn't have at the grid, and Zara wasn't quite used to it at all.

"All right then," Astrid said standing up again to pull off her shirt and put on a pj top.

Slipping into her bed she pulled the covers over her head and stuck her hand out searching for her jacket with her ipod in it. Touching the floor she continued to search for the little device that made her life so much more bareable. She paused in her search when she thought about Zara.

[zara]

Zara was hiding her face in her arms, blushing at sneaking a peak at Astrid changing. She was so embarrassed, afraid to ruin any chance with the girl who called her "girlfriend."

[astridhail]

Astrid looked over at Zara pulling the covers down a bit, "What Zara?"

The program was acting a bit strange, "Did you get a virus or something?"

[zara]

"No," Zara blushed, hiding her face. It was just her stupid affection program overriding her system again. Catching sight of what she saw, it was like a total shutdown for every other system in her programming.

[astridhail]

"Alright then," Astrid said pulling off her wristband and putting it on the dresser. Her scars less noticible then they where. Slipping back into bed she grabbed her ipod and placed it in her ears.

[zara]

Zara peeked up, face still flushed. She was so sad that Astrid was so far away from her at the moment. Something about the programming inside her was making her quite needy.

[Maka]

"You need something before I go to sleep Zara?" Astrid asked.

She wanted to make sure the program was okay before she went to sleep.

[zara]

"W-well," Zara started, before pausing awkwardly. How could she not lie to her user? She couldn't! But she couldn't bring herself to say that she wanted Astrid. That would just be a little too forward of the program.
