this coffee shop is grade a shit and the barista is a fucking whore and put whole milk into their skinny latte on purpose for no reason other than to Fuck With Them so there goes six bucks (not that it matters, really), but it's about the principle of it. it's the principle of the matter. 

principal? no, no, it's principle because a principal is supposed to be your PAL. they remember that. 

vivi watches them type furiously. the lopunny has starry shades on and preens her ears while rose goes through the motions of their meltdown. their iphone catches the sun, but it goes right over the pink uv shades and she doesn't have to bother blinking, but she does catch their screen.

yelp. google. fucking craigslist. one star, one star, one star. and then intermittently, texts to the person they are ATTEMPTING to meet here.

cunt. i'm waiting. 

i'm still waiting.

bring me better coffee.

this place sucks.

you have poor taste.

you shouldn't be late for your meetings.

mere seconds after he sends the last text, a tray of coffee cups drops down between them.

[break][break] "relax," she says, though there's little heat to her words. "i'm here."

[break][break] in fact, mila is downright smug that the had called for this meeting. that they needed her, because everyone else in their life was too shit to deal with their dramatic ass.

[break][break] or at least, that's the story she was going to go with.

[break][break] a wine colored jacket makes her stand out in the quaint coffee space, drawing several eyes to her as she pulls up the chair next to him, folding one leg over the other.

[break][break] she leans back, bringing her own coffee cup to her lips.

[break][break] "so, i heard you've been a bitch."

they snatch up the coffee as soon as it's set down in front of them. vivi goes to take hers, because of course mila alexopoulos knows to get a coffee for vivi too, and ambrose gulps a couple of stevia-tasting go-go juice down while they finish tearing this place apart on the web.

"and i heard primarina can't even find advertising space in vogue," they chirp back primly. 

"oh, baby, you look so tired." they pull off crescent moon shades that match vivi's in both ostentatiousness and impracticality. they pinch the temples, allow the other to fold, and gesture with the half-folded accessory to mila herself. 

"but yes, this. this is what i'm missing. passion. i'm tired of wearing yesterday's news."

mila was a lot of things, but she wasn't an idiot — at least when it came to and their likes and dislikes, including that of vivi too.

[break][break] pink eyes flicked over to the lopunny as she grabbed her drink, hoping that the pokemon's taste hadn't changed in the years apart either.

[break][break] then back to ambrose.

[break][break] her eye twitched at his insult, knowing that he was just saying it to goad her into a response but still finding her body reacting despite her best gestures.

[break][break] "we're still re-opening," she said loftily. "give it time, and you'll be begging me for attention."

[break][break] pause.

[break][break] "unless, that's what you're doing now." her lips curved. "what are you thinking, darling?"

[break][break] as annoying as he could be, mila knew well enough that there could match brilliance. even the mere thought of being able to dress him again... sent an arrow of thrill through her.

vivi sips surreptitiously, creature of habit that she is. ambrosia wants to make mila feel special so they don't tell them they switched from six pumps of sugar-free vanilla to five pumps of sugar-free vanilla and one pump sugar-free brown sugar and yes, you can tell the difference and how is sugar-free brown sugar even sugar-free?

"still?" they say incredulously. oh, far, far too long. this is a rabid, rapid, vapid environment. slip up for a day and you're behind by a whole week. a week? and you're last year's news. in mila's case?

maybe they'll get better negotiating terms because of this. 

"you know i don't have time." a model's worst fear. "i'm too hot a commodity. i need to be back out there. i need to be wearing something new. something spicy. something by your darling little brain.

"i can get you, at the very least, into vogue, but i need you to slap me back on the cover."

'still?'

[break][break] the way he says it, genuinely surprised and a little condescending, makes her want to bare her teeth. she forgot how insufferable they could be sometimes. she presses her lips together instead, not willing to rise to the occasion, not when there was so much on the line.

[break][break] luckily, it seems like he has the same idea in mind because he's quick to bite on her fishhook. her eyes - suddenly - glimmer with the possibility that's spread out in front of her. she can already see a million patterns, a hundred ideas to display. the question was... would like any of them?

[break][break] "oh baby, i'll make sure that you're on every cover."

[break][break] as arrogant as he could be, mila could be just as terrible. it was what made them the perfect pair.

[break][break] "is there something in particular you want? or can i just -" she gestured with an open hand. "go wild?"

oh and goodness, this is simply why they adore her. they see her straining at her bonds; she wants to eviscerate them, but she can't. and they can't be too cruel to her either, can they? because no one else will work with them now and they know that

what's a little mutual destruction between friends? 

"ugh, doll, ravish me. you've terrible taste in coffee boutiques, but your brain worms are delightful little creatures. you're an artist. you're an extravaganza."

and then, after a sip: "no fucking chevron."
