Tag Bredina!
Who: Bredina Dunstan, Alicia Spinnet
What: Alicia comes over for toad water and brings ice cream in exchange
When: September 28
Where: Bredina's flat

Alicia knocked on the door, trying to balance all the bags in her hands while doing so. She had received Bredina's message and in times like these one should always come bearing supplies. She knocked on the door once more impacitently as she tapped her foot. "I know you're in there! Don't think you can hide from me Missy, I have water balloons that need filling."

The door opened and she smiled brightly, holding up the bags in her hands in the air. "I wont oblivate you but I did bring Firewhiskey, Vodka and more importantly, I have three different kinds of ice cream, one gelato and even one frozen yogurt." Alicia walked into the flat, not giving the other girl any time toprotest and making herself at home. Alicia wasn't one to feel awkward about things, as intrusive as that could be some times. "Just know that if you pick the yogurt we are going to have some words. Now tell me about this meeting because I really don't think it could be as bad as you say it is. And if it was....well, I brought us two spoons too."

Alicia jumped up so that she was sitting on the counter. She opened the praline crunch and dug out a spoon, looking directly at Bredina as she scooped up her first big bite. "So, what happened?"

Bredina didn't protest, only watched sullenly as her good friend waltzed into her flat.

Morosely she said, "I just ate half a bucket of deep fried chicken. I'm practically a vegetarian normally." This was to signify another one of Bredina's Great Depressions. When happy, she was environmentally friendly, interested in yoga, and ate tons of vegetables with a bit of fish and lean chicken here and there. But when she was in one of those states of hers, it was starving, then binging, junk food, littering, etc etc... She literally could be like two different people with their own separate principles and morals.

Poking her spoon into the top of a carton of coffee ice cream, Bredina pouted enviously at her friend. Alicia Spinnet had probably never choked up in her life.

"It happens sometimes, and then I beat myself up for it for about the rest of my life. Sometimes I meet, like," Bredina began, starting the story in a random fashion as always, "the King of the World, and I'm completely fine. Talking to him without a care in the world. And then other times on random occasions, I'll get nervous. It's like, just so out of the blue. And this was one of those times."

Alicia raised an eyebrow at that comment, licking the spoon clean. Bredina did not scarf down fried chicken on a normal basis. In fact, it was more likely that she mocked Alicia's eating habits which if she was being honest to herself Alicia would have to admit were worth mocking. Bredina was falling into a funk mood and she needed to make sure she snapped out of it.

"I think," she said, pausing for a moment as she looked at her friend, "you've come down with a case of being human. People get nervous, it happens. You don't need to beat yourself up about it. So this one was a little rough, next time you will blow them out of the water. I'm hurt you didn't tell me you met the king of the world, I would have loved to know who my ruler is."

"No, next time they'll meet me and watch me piteously as the poor little fish who's swimming in an ocean too big for her." Bredina stopped poking at the flat ice cream surface and stabbed her spoon deep into it.

"I'm working closely with this group for the next year," the former Gryffindor groaned. "And it's not like I even see them everyday to diffuse this, I only seem them once a week giving them enough time to keep this impression of me." She was on the brink of wailing.

"I could feel my face randomly going red, so I chewed some gum thinking it would calm my nerves but instead I ended up half CHOKING on it as I introduced myself. And they asked me about my plan for the new line and I started rambling on about it before actually telling them what my plan was about! Like, I just began describing it without starting at the beginning."

She eyed the rest of her chicken.

"You're one to talk, Miss Confidence. I hate getting nervous. I'm not even a nervous person in general so when it happens I never forget it. You never screw up like that."

"Bre! You are not a poor little fish. I'm sure it's not even as bad as you think it was. You're a perfectionist, just you wait, I have no doubts that you did just fine."

Ok, this was not going well. "Listen to me, you get to see them once a week! This is a good thing, they will get to know you and see how amazing you are, just like I have. They wont remember what happened on the first week, they're probably too worried about the mistakes they made." She tried to sound reassuring but it didn't seem like the other girl was listening to her.

She hid her mouth in her hand, trying to mask her chuckles. She wasn't laughing at what happened but the way the other girl was stressing out about it. "Woman! I adore you, you know that, but calm down. You told them your plan, so what if it didn't have a cookie cutter beginning? You are a genius at what you do, your work will speak for itself. Take another bite of ice cream and breathe!"

"I never screw up? Have you met me? I was the one who fell up a flight of stairs at least once every school year. I am a collosal mess, I just choose to laugh at myself. You're the put together one, I'm still amazed you put up with me. You remember because you want to be perfect but sometimes you have to be ok with just being human. You're not a robot, shit will happen," she said, waving her spoon about before taking another bite.
