- Lost the first post for this so this'll be a bit lazy and defeated -
Pan waltzed down Kalispell's main street, absently tossing a yoyo. She wasn't using the string, as was intended; but simply throwing the circular thing up and catching it. It was early afternoon and most people had already stopped for lunch then gone back to work, so the street and surrounding stores for relatively quiet. Luckily Pan had no such requirements.
The woman walked along, her red hair pulled back in a messy ponytail. The trademark Banks blonde hair showed through at the roots, since she hadn't gotten around to dyeing it again. There was a small part of her that didn't care to, but she tried not to pay that too much mind.
Pan let out a small shriek of surprise when she collided with something and fell to the ground. It was totally out of normally behaviour for the usually attentive girl, and she internally scolded herself for not paying more attention. Pan raised her head, looking for the person or thing she had walked right into, an apology already

She simply must hurry home she thought to Bell as she hurried home, Her ever increasing social life was hitting it’s high point this Saturday night. In her usual volunteer position of reading to sick children, she had forgotten the latest David Atteniborough was being broadcasted on TV tonight, in only a few minutes. Which Bell had been watching obsessively for the last few weeks so naturally enough Bell was hurriedly home with the hopes that she can make it just in time for the beginning.
The party never stopped in the Connelly household.
Unfortunately in her haste to get home she wasn’t looking where she was going with laid to a head on collision, Bell stumbled back ever so clumsy but somehow managed to stay on her feet. She stood there for a moment, marveling on this rare time she could actually stay on her feet….before her face instantly turned to her concern to the woman on the ground
“Oh no no..” Bell shook her head hurriedly going to give a hand up to the girl “It’s totally my fault...are you ok? I real-Wait….Pan Right?”
"Oh....If it isn't Bell." Pan beamed up at the woman, feeling much better about the fall now. "I did remember that right, didn't I?" She grasped Bell's proffered hand gratefully and pulled herself to her feet. For a second she busied herself with dusting off her rear. Her leather pants showed dirt really well and it was definitely embarrassing to be walking around with a dusty ass.
"It's been a while," she noted, her green eyes sparkling as she turned back to the lovely woman. "How are things?" She noticed this time Bell didn't have a library of books stacked under her arms and chuckled to herself. It was a bit of a shame, since talking about books was always an easy conversation starter for her. Pan didn't typically have trouble being charismatic, but Bell seemed so different. Perhaps it was her apparent innocence, or the fact that she seemed such an honestly decent person. It was a far cry from her own family and she wasn't sure how to tackle it. Genuine kindness was beyond her understanding.

In hindsight it was maybe a bad idea for Bell to reach out a hand for Pan considering how short and small Bell was compared to how generally tall Pan was, but Bell -Who was stronger then she looked- was able to help her to her feet pleasantly surprised to meet, the kind woman that helped carried her books home….even if….she was a little...forward she was kind and Bell usually tried to be kind of those that was kind to her. That was how people were here; Quirky
you got used to it
“Oh yes you, remembered it. And it’s wonderful to see you again brightly smiling before she started shifting her weight back and forward “We really have to stop meeting like this” She said her words filled with laughter her bright green eyes gleaming “Oh, Not much it’s the beginning of spring, so it’s a busy time for me, I have to grade tests, I’m going on the school camping trip. It’s all rather exiciting. OH!” She exclaimed nervously checking her wrist watch and with a “Goodess..” she noticed that she was running out of time “I so hate to cut this short, but I really much dash. There’s a documentary on tonight that I really want to see
Pan enjoyed the feel of Bell's hand, though released her as soon as the opportunity presented itself. She was attracted to the woman it was true, but making any kind of real, emotional contact was beyond her. Despite her own bodily desires, Bell pretty obviously looked like the type that needed to be wooed and properly cared for in a real relationship. That wasn't something she knew how to work with.
"Oh, definitely," she agreed with a cheerful laugh. "Perhaps a cafe sometime? Or somewhere for lunch. How do you feel about the movies?" Even though she'd made up her mind about Bell she couldn't help but find her gushing about her work adorable. The way the passion simply lit up her eyes left her speechless. She wondered, had she ever looked like that when talking about something she loved? "The camping trip? Oh, I'm going too, as a chaperone!" She'd only just put her name down and hearing Bell was also going was thrilling! The main motivation for putting down her name was the hope that Bell would be going along too.
Pan bit her lip to contain her smile. "Not the new David Attenborough one?!" She asked excitedly.

Bell liked Pan. Which wasn’t saying much as she seemed to like everyone around her, There was only a few people she could claim to deeply dislike and...And that was not something Bell wanted to talk about right about now, but Pan was cheerful and rather sweet to be sure and she was good company even though she would have thought Pan would be at some kind of party right about now.
….She just seemed to be the outgoing type..
“Oh yes, please. I do so enjoy the movies...not horror though, I find them all rather...terrible” Bell said with a large sudden at the memory of that one Saw movie Brooke forced her through….She pretty sure she fainted at several points, no she much preferred classic movies especially those with Audrey Hepburn
“Oh How wonderful!” She said genuinely excited clapping her hands together “I wasn’t aware you were involved with the school Pan?”
Bell was already backing out of the conversation when Pan mentioned the name of the documentary “Umm yes actually” Bell said stopping in her tracks “It’s really just fastinating”
