Friends Again?

(The next morning, Lynnon wakes up to the amazing smell of a freshly made breakfast sandwich. She slowly opens her eyes to see Ezekiel placing a plate of food on her bedside table. He notices her slowly sit up. The door was open which let in natural light from a window in the room across the hall)

Ezekiel-" Morning Bear "

Lynnon-" Mor... ning..."

(Ezekiel begins to walk away and out of the room while Lynnon rubs her eyes. She finally gets a clear look at the meal Ezekiel had made for her. A bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with turkey bacon in ciabatta bread, an avocado toast, and a small portion of fruit)

Lynnon-" Dang? He a chef or something?"

(Lynnon picks up the plate and brings it to the main room. She walks to the table and sits down. While she ate, Ezekiel worked on his own things in the studio. Suddenly Lynnon heard a DING! come from her phone. She checks it. There had been a text message from Mei. She opens up the notification)

[Can we talk?]

(More messages were sent and Lynnon began to feel guilty)

Lynnon-" Do you have a spare shirt?"

(Ezekiel jumps then looks back annoyed and sees Lynnon standing at the entrance of the studio)

Ezekiel-" For?"

Lynnon-" For me to wear. My clothes from yesterday are dirty. I'll deal with wearing my pants but I need another shirt"

(Ezekiel squints)

Ezekiel-" Ugh hold on"

(Ezekiel leaves the room for a small second before coming back with a plain navy blue tee. He hands it to Lynnon)

Ezekiel-" Just keep it"

(Ezekiel walks back to his work)

Ezekiel-" Just please try to get your stuff from the hangout today. I don't want to keep lending you my clothing"

(Lynnon stares at him working for a few seconds)

Lynnon-" Thanks... Ezekiel"

(Ezekiel pauses before Lynnon leaves the room and gets dressed. From the studio, he hears the front door open and close before he rolls his eyes. The spot where Mei wanted to meet wasn't far from the apartment so she just walked. She approaches the park bench where she saw Mei and Akira sitting. Once they see Lynnon they quickly stand up)

Mei/Akira-" Hey!"

Lynnon-" Hi"

(Lynnon sees as Akira and Mei look down at her outfit. A big and baggy navy blue shirt, sunflower yellow shoes, and white pants with a bunch of paint stains on them)

Akira-" Your outfit choice is… interesting"

(Lynnon laughs)

Lynnon-" Trust me. I know"

(The girls sit down on the bench and they begin to talk)

Lynnon-" I'm sorry I haven't talked to you guys"

Mei-" You don't have to be sorry! We ruined your hard work and we get it that it meant a lot to you"

(Lynnon nods)

Lynnon-" Yeah"

Mei-" But I couldn't help but realize that you weren't at the hangout last night. Where were you?"

(Lynnon looks away)

Lynnon-" That's a good question. I've decided to move out. Not anywhere far or big, just a small… apartment for.. MYSELF"

(There was no way that Lynnon would tell Mei that she was living with her brother)

Akira-" You sure?"

Lynnon-" I'm sure. I'll be totally fine without your guys' watch. I can fend for myself"

Mei-" Oooook. So your NOT mad at us?"

Lynnon-" Of course not. After all you've done for me, how could I? I really want to THANK you. A few paintings are no big deal"

Akira-" Ok well did you eat breakfast yet? We could buy you something-"

Lynnon-" I'm good. Just ate before I left. There's just one thing I need to ask you"

(Mei and Akira look at Lynnon with a bit of confusion. About a half-hour later, Lynnon was up in her old room packing all her stuff AGAIN. She walks downstairs and outside to see Riku pulling up with the jeep. He gets out and helps Lynnon put her things into the trunk)

Lynnon-" I couldn't thank you guys enough"

Riku-" Ha! Just pay us back by winning our next tournament"

(Lynnon giggles)

Lynnon-" Will do"

(Lynnon gets into the jeep while Riku, Akira, and Mei watch as she slowly gets out of view. Ezekiel suddenly hears knocking as he types away on his computer. He gets up from his seat and walks over to the door before opening it. Straight away, a bunch of stuff falls in front of him including Lynnon)

Lynnon-" Man"

(Ezekiel squats down and looks at Lynnon)

Ezekiel-" And where have you been? It's nearly 11 o'clock"

Lynnon-" Making up with the team"

(Lynnon stands up and picks up her bags)

Ezekiel-" What did you do that took you the whole day?"

Lynnon-" Well!-"

Ezekiel-"Actually don't answer that. I have work to do"

(Ezekiel then turns and walks away)

Lynnon-" Ugh. Meanie!"

(Lynnon sticks her tongue out at Ezekiel's back)

Ezekiel-" Goodnight"
