              "Think about it, Chloe!" Christine insisted. She was blowing bubbles with her gum as she drew on Chloe's arm. They were hanging out at the park, under a tree. She was wearing a lime green tank top with a drawing of a daisy on it, a blue skirt, and bright yellow converse, only they weren't so bright yellow anymore since they had been scuffed up from so much use. "There has to be SOMEthing controlling life on Earth!"

                Chloe chuckled a bit, admiring Christine's drawing. She was wearing a pink t-shirt and jean shorts along with black high tops. "Like what exactly...?" She asked, curious to see what Christine would come up with.

                 "I mean, I KNOW there's science behind it, but what about something else controlling fate?" Christine started. "Something... BIGGER than the universe!" She stopped drawing on Chloe's arm and handed her back the marker. This had become a routine for them, coming to the park, talking and drawing on each other. "We're just tiny specks, floating around and waiting for whatever our destiny is to be fufilled!"

                   Chuckling a little, Chloe spoke softly. "I guess you can see it that way..."

                   "Things are pretty bizarre when you really think about them..." Christine sighed and looked down at the ground. "I don't know, I guess I'm still kind of... stressed for some reason about this..."

                    "Hey..." Chloe put an hand on Christine's shoulder lightly. "I read an article about how to relieve stress! We can try it!" now had the smaller girl's full attention. Chloe leaned in and whispered. "A way to relieve stress is to just scream from the deepest depths for your soul—"

                     Christine was about to start screaming so Chloe quickly covered her mouth with her hand. "Not here, dude!" She laughed. 

                     "Oops...!" Christine giggled sheepishly.

                      Chloe chuckled and started to get up. "C'mon, I know the perfect place.."

                       "Okay okay, ready again?" Chloe asked, calming down from laughing so hard. Christine was giggling just as hard, putting her hands over her own mouth and nodding. "Three... two... ONE!"

                        WOOSH! The girls screamed loudly as a train sped passed them. They started going into fits of laughter yet again. Christine then said six words Chloe did not expect to hear:

                       "Will you go out with me?"

                       "Uh... I'm sorry... I'm not.. you know—"

                       Christine shook her head awkwardly, tensed up. "No no no—! I'm not either... I don't know what I am, really, I just...." she exhaled and relaxed again, still nervous. "Wanna go get dinner...? Not like a date, just... dinner...?"
