Oh, I would love to pin you Any yup! Sounds good to me. Give me a where and a when, and I shall do my best to be there. Oh... Just bare in mind I'm not... Amazing with my power control so if we go somewhere super public, maybe make it somewhere AMA aren't busy being dicks? xD

Ha ha, never saw that one coming. How about tomorrow around 5 or something? That's a weird enough time I don't think anyone will be around if your power gets a little messy. Also I seriously doubt AMA is going to show up at a bowling alley. What will they say? "Protect our pins?"

Almost? Darn. Anyways, see you then!
If Tiana was going to be frank, she wasn't really the best bowler either. She'd tried it from time to time back home, but that was when she was really young. Still, she was already waiting inside the bowling alley's entrance the next day. She was a little excited too, actually. They had some modern pop song going on over the speakers that Tiana nonetheless tapped her foot too. She figured asking them to play jazz wouldn't go over so well. Besides, Tiana soon noticed Emily walking through the door.
"There you are! I was wondering when you'd show up." Tiana said with a smirk before heading towards the alley they'd rented. "I've already got our spot. I checked to see if they had food here too. Don't worry they do, and it's even edible. Just don't expect anything ridiculously fancy. probably the best they could do is gift-wrap their fries for you."

Emily smiled as she walked into the charming little bowling alley. There were quite a few of these back in buckinghamshire, inside the cities. Even more in London itself. She was quite used to being around them, her and her dad used to go to them all the time when she was little, on birthdays or just to spend time together. If she was being honest she liked going to them more for playing on the old house of the dead arcade machines with her dad more than anything else, even if her mother disproved. ESPECIALLY if her mother disproved.
She smirked at the other girl as she walked in. Tiana was cute, in a silly quirky kind of way. She imagined the girl got hit on quite a lot, in a less ironic way than people that actually hit on Emily herself. "I am often unintentionally, fashionably late I'm afraid." She replied with a playful smirk.
She bumped the other girl's shoulder as she walked past, it was a friendly gesture. She threw her head back and gave off a little chuckle. "I'm going to have to drag you to Buckinghamshire next time I visit and show you a real chippy." She teased.

"I wonder what your teachers say then when you show up 'fashionable late' for tests."
Tiana smirked back at Emily and bumped her right back in the shoulder. It was odd in a way for Tiana to be out to a bowling alley without her mother, but she certainly didn't mind Emily's company in exchange. She seemed like a lot of fun, from what Tiana had seen the first time and while they were texting. She was actually a little surprised the girl had mentioned not being "sexual." Tiana had a feeling plenty of people would try their best at wooing the girl if they actually stopped to talk to her for a few minutes.
"I'm going to have to drag you to Buckinghamshire next time I visit and show you a real chippy."
Tiana raised an eyebrow at that and snickered.
"The first thing I would ask for is a list of all the different words you use so I know if I'm being insulted or not. You've got a way with words over there, that's for sure, although some of them don't even sound real."
Tiana shook her head as they got to their spot. Tiana had already eaten a little, but only an order of fries that now sat mostly eaten on the table. For all her love of preparing food, she could appreciate some junk food now and then.
"Here we go. There's a screen over our lane with our names on it. I already took the liberty of putting our names in." Tiana grinned a little wickedly. "I figured 'Ball of Sass' would fit you nicely."

Emily grinned playfully at that comment. She couldn't think of a time she'd ever actually been late for a test. She hovered most of her life at around a solid B student. She was pretty good at everything, just not perfect. She was also extremely okay with this, she didn't feel perfect, and as far as she was concerned imperfection was the thing that made most people interesting.
Emily giggled at the comment. "Well, first thing you'd need to learn is that I'm a lot more wordy than most." She smirked playfully at the other girl. "Though you already know that." She added with a soft tone.
She had a hard time imagining Tiana stuffing her face with a McDonalds burger, in fact the thought almost made her laugh out loud. The other girl was just so healthy looking and active, not that Em took particular note of her body or anything.

"I most certainly do." Tiana replied with a smirk of her own. "You're a lot wordier and sassier than most people I've met. Which is saying something, trust me."
Tiana got most of her sass from her own mother, who far outshone Tiana when it came to witty remarks. If Emily enjoyed banter with Tiana, she had no doubt the girl would get along with her mother just fine. The sudden laughter had Tiana arching a brow and planting her hands on her hips.
"What's got you laughing like a clown now? Maybe I should change your name to 'Ball of Giggles.'"
While Tiana threatened that, she had actually been highly tempted to put Emily's name down as "Queen Elsa" instead. However Tiana thought that might be too easy. Besides, when she'd seen "Ball of Sass" fit it had simply been too tempting not to use that.
"Anyways, you're up first."

Emily giggled again. "I know. I get that quite a lot actually. I'm heavily sarcastic, even for people from where I'm from. My dad finds it rather amusing. You seem to as well, which is good." She tilted her head to the side with another wide smirk at the other girl.
"No fair. I need to come up with a reasonably good nickname for you too. The only ones that come to mind sound more like praise than teasing." She pouted.
She laughed again and smiled, rolling up her sleeves after putting on the bowling shoes. She'd have to have a nice long bath later. The brunette picked up the ball gently, after finding one that was heavy enough to be useful, but not too much to strain her. After all, she didn't really have all that much upper body strength.
She waltzed up the lane, and threw a not too bad ball, knocking down all but 2 of the pins. Not bad for her first try. She gestured for Tiana to take her go, taking a slight curtsey "My lady." She teased.

"Well if I said I didn't like it, I'd be an enormous hypocrite. The only person I've met to beat me in sass is my own mother. Now if you want an amusing conversation," Tiana chuckled and shook her head, "Talk to her sometime and you'll see were I get it from."
Although the mentions of home were starting to get Tiana down a little. After talking with a few people she wasn't as bitter about Bellefonte as she had been. besides, she would've never met Emily if she didn't go to the school so there was a good point for it.
"No fair. I need to come up with a reasonably good nickname for you too. The only ones that come to mind sound more like praise than teasing."
Tiana raised an eyebrow and smirked while she walked over to sit for a moment.
"That sounds more flirty than anything, little miss pout."
Tiana doubted it was actually flirting, although in the texts it most certainly sounded that way. She placed this down more along the lines of playful chatter. Which Tiana knew for a fact by now that Emily was exactly that. She also noted that Emily seemed better at bowling then she let on. Tiana had to smirk and got to her feet.
"My lady."
Tiana grinned and grabbed one of the balls before heading up to the lane.
"Looks like all your courtesy training paid off, Elsa."
That time, Tiana couldn't resist the little reference. it was far too easy for her to take, even more so then the name change. Still, she focused on remembering how to play and honestly surprised herself when she downed all but three pins. Her expression was slightly contemplative.
"Guess I'm not as bad as I thought. Mind you my skill will likely go down as we continue."

Emily grinned. "Tianaaaa. You're supposed to ask me to dinner before meeting your parents. With the fun bits in between" She winked at the other girl as she walked past to slip back down onto the waiting chair. Watching the other girl. She smirked. The sass rapport was too fun.
She giggled again. "Well, you know me. I can barely get through 10 sentences without making SOMEONE think I'm flirting. I guess it's just my curse." She feigned a sigh.
The brunette narrowed her eyes at her friend. She made a mental note to get revenge on the other girl, forming a small plan in her head to get back at Tiana for that comment. She raised her eyebrows at the other girl. "Well, now I'm determined to beat you." She felt a playful, competitive urge build in her.
Post by Tiana Jackson on Apr 16, 2016 17:56:09 GMT -6
"'Fun bits?'" Tiana raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Now I'm afraid of what goes on in that head of yours. Well, more afraid than I already was."
The back and forth with Emily was far to enjoyable for Tiana. She genuinely was happy she'd met the girl in the first place. Most of the others she'd met at the school definitely couldn't keep up as much, although there were a few that came close. Tiana playfully rolled her eyes at the wink while taking her place at the alley.
"Well, you know me. I can barely get through 10 sentences without making SOMEONE think I'm flirting. I guess it's just my curse."
Tiana openly snickered and gave Emily a look.
"Oh what a horrible curse. I feel so sorry for you."
Tiana's tone was practically oozing with sarcasm before she refocused and took the shot. She certainly wasn't about to let Emily distract her.
"Well, now I'm determined to beat you."
Tiana quirked a brow while she walked back over to sit down next to Emily. The competitive gleam in Emily's eyes brought a smile to Tiana's face and a competitive spark to her own eyes.
"Well good luck then, Queen-E"

Emily smirked playfully at her friend as she stood to go and throw her next one. She focused hard on actually throwing a good ball. As it happened, she took a long stride and elegantly threw a strike. Turning to smirk at her friend. The smirk turned into more of a pout again at the teasing.
Alright. She was going to get revenge!
As She walked towards Tiana she smiled. "Well then, out your money where your mouth is, so to speak." She challenged, inside a closed fist, she gently formed a little ice block, and as Tiana would go to bowl, she would gracefully slip it down the back of her friends top.

As it happened, she took a long stride and elegantly threw a strike.
Tiana actually let out a low whistle and laughed at the strike. She could tell Emily had certainly been holding out on her. Although the little pout kind of ruined the triumphant imagine, but did manage to make Tiana smile more.
"Well then, out your money where your mouth is, so to speak."
Tiana snickered and got up to retrieve her ball to try again. Unfortunately she didn't see Emily coming up behind her when she was about to swing. However she did feel the ice go down her back, which made her flinch and throw her path off so she ended up only knocking down one pin. Tiana jiggled her shirt until the cube fell out before throwing a glare at Emily.
"Well, you called me Elsa."
Tiana's glare intensified for a second, but then a rueful smirk formed while she crushed the cube under her foot.
"Maybe I should call you Anna instead."
She moved out of the way now that her own turn was essentially wasted. It was pretty obvious they were playing dirty now, although Tiana was at a bit of a disadvantage when it came to powers. Although she had one idea to get revenge. Namely smacking Emily on the ass right when she went to swing.
"Sorry. Bug." She said deadpanned. "Didn't want it crawling up your shirt or anything."

Emily felt a little surge of elation that she'd gotten a strike, she hadn't quite been expecting that, but it certainly added to the dramatic effect, especially when Tiana whistled at the throw that she had made. Knocking down all 10 pins certainly did feel pretty great.
She giggled at the glare that she was receiving, Tiana had certainly earned that one. She was just receiving her just deserts for teasing Emily.
She smiled and moved forwards to take another shot, she swung her arm back, and started to move it forwards, completely focused, that was until the other girl's hand touched her rear. She let out a high pitched squeak, and completely botched her shot, throwing a rather pathetic gutterball.
She slowly turned her head to Tiana, her cheeks flushing in a bright, deep pink.
