Alice and Emma

"We've been here less than a week and we've already made headlines twice this week." I said to myself, looking at the newsboard which showed everything that had happened this week.

"Sorry for being late!"

I turned towards the voice and saw Emma running towards me. With how messy her hair was, it looked like she had just woken up. Everything about her just screamed that she was in a rush.

"Did I keep you waiting long, Alice?" Emma asked, hunching over to catch her breath.

"Not really. I've just been reading this newsboard while waiting for you." I responded.

Emma raised her head up to look at the board. She walked over to the board and began skimming through it until she stopped at the article involving John and Fang.

"What's up with John and Fang causing an uproar at the guildhall?" Emma pointed at the article while she turned her head towards me.

I shrugged, "no idea. Just ask him if you ever get the chance."

Emma returned her eyes to the board and continued to read it until she got to the story about Akari. Steven was also in the article but only for a brief moment at the end.

"Even our new member did something crazy this week. Do you think we'll experience something interesting like everyone else?" Emma asked, leaning back from the newsboard.

"Do you want something interesting to happen?" I asked.

Emma seemed to think to herself for a moment, "as long as it doesn't interfere with our plans today, I wouldn't really mind."

I was caught off guard for a moment from Emma's answer. I didn't think her plans with me were that important to her. I tried to hide my face but it was obvious Emma saw me blushing.

"W-where should we go to first?" I asked, still partially hiding my face.

"Let's go to a hat store!"
