silbermisty·:

Misty knew that her and Rosetta were both similar in the sense of loving the idea of love and being in a relationship. Well, maybe more so Rosetta than Misty, considering Misty never had been in a real relationship before and got crushes so easily. She was a huge flirt though, and she did like to go out once and awhile to try to meet new people and branch out. Tonight she felt that her and Rosetta needed an exciting night out, ordering them drinks and bringing it to the booth they were settled into. “The bartender was so sweet,” she admitted with a little pout, sitting across from her friend. “Well, the night is young,” she smiled, holding her glass up to clink against Rosetta’s, “so cheers to some fun!” @greenthumbing·

♡

“And cute,” Rosetta sighed dreamily. She couldn’t help it. She swore the longer she went without a date, the more appealing boys started to look to her. Not that she’d just settle for any of them, she’d have to get to know someone first. And she wasn’t sure dating was a good idea anyway, she had school to focus on, and the garden, and her social life... but maybe that was just what she told herself to feel better about not having a boyfriend to spoil her. “Yes ma’am, it is!” With a clink, she offered her friend a wide grin. “I definitely needed this. I’ve been so stressed lately, I think I’m getting gray hairs already.”

Tessa: Is that dinner out & movies in or dinner in & movies out?

Tessa: I could go for a home-cooked meal w/ ur fresh veggies

Rosetta: Oooh, yes! I haven't cooked anything in awhile, I need the practice before I get rusty!

Rosetta: What are we thinking? Stir fry? Soup? Pasta?

“Aw, shucks,” Rosetta felt her cheeks heating up at the compliment. She loved kind words, but she was used to getting them about her looks or her talent, not her singing. “You really think so?” She couldn’t help but giggle. She didn’t think Bobble would actually laugh at her, he was much too kind for that, but the praise was unexpected. And welcome, though a little embarrassing. “Why, I think you are just way too sweet, mister.”

Continued from HERE [ @greenthumbing​ ] 

Astounded. That was the only word Bobble could describe after listening to Rosetta sing. Astounded. He was astounded by how beautiful and soft her tone was, but more so, he was also at disbelief when he recalled how she said she didn’t sing well when she most certainly did. “Laugh? Splinters, why on earth would I laugh at you?” The blonde gasped at her. Instead, what Bobble ended up doing was shaking his head at her before smiling brightly. “Ms. Ivy, don’t you see? You have quite the natural talent in singing!”

slurred words !

“Isn’t she so pretty?” Rosetta held her phone out, showing her new friend, the random girl sitting at the bar beside of her, Webby’s selfie that popped up on her feed. “I bet she doesn’t have any trouble talking to guys. Like, who wouldn’t want to talk to a girl that looks like that? I know I’m pretty and all, but look at her,” she said again, a sigh leaving her lips as she stared at the picture with slightly blurred vision. The girl really was a stunner. “Oh, that’s a great idea!” She exclaimed at once, though the other had not said a word. “I should have Webby teach me to talk to guys. You give such good advice, urm---... what... was your name again?”

🎸 - Bobble

“Sunflower, smiling at the sun, your time is gonna come, just keep your eyes on sunny skies. Your heart soars above the clouds, sings a song out loud, for a brand new day, not so far away. Isn’t it amazing, what you see? Isn't it amazing, what you do? Isn't it amazing, everything? Sunflowers in spring, they're just like you...” Rosetta could barely finish the tune before she started giggling, shaking her head at her friend. “It’s so much easier to sing to plants ‘cause they don’t have eyes. It’s okay, you can laugh, I probably sound so silly, I'm no Shania Twain, but it’s still fun to put on a lil concert!”

slurred words (tink)

“Oh my gosh, Tink,” Rosetta suddenly gasped, slamming her drink down on the counter a little too hard, wine splashing out onto the surface. “Have you met Tink? You’d love her! She’s so great. She’s one of my very best friends, my homegirl. Oh my gosh, you know what would be fun? Travelling the world with her.” The bartender clearly did not care what she had to say, but Rosetta continued to ramble, not a care in the world. “She can make this little town so darn adventurous, imagine what it would be like to fly to Paris with her! Gosh, I miss her. I feel like I haven’t seen her in forever, I’ve just been so busy. I should text her. I’m going to text her.”

Rosetta: I'm thinking dinner and a movie later this week?

Tessa: Absolutely! We have to catch up

Tessa: Homestyle or GNO??

Rosetta: What about a 50/50?

Adella chuckled as well, shaking her head. “No, not every day,” she agreed. At the girl’s explanation, she gave a nod of understanding. It had been a vegetable cart. Her parents must have had a pretty extensive garden if they grew enough to sell produce. Adella found that interesting, as someone who could not keep any plant alive to save her life. “Damn, if I knew how to make my own onion rings, I might be tempted to buy them off you.” Unfortunately Adella was not in the habit of carrying cash. “How often do you sell, and where can I find you next time? If you’ve got tomatoes and broccoli, I may be a repeat customer.”

♡

“Mine sure aren’t restaurant material --- sometimes the doesn’t wanna stay on the darn onions. But they still taste good fried anyway.” Working the kitchen was not her strong suit, but the more she practiced, the better she was sure she’d get at cooking. “I try to come through town when it’s the busiest. I’m usually through here earlier, but I fell a little behind today. If you’re interested I can definitely save you some of those, I’ll tuck ‘em away in the bottom so no one else sees them,” she grinned. “Broccoli is devastatingly underrated.”

“You’re quite welcomed!” He replied, beaming at her. He then let out a small laugh, finding himself shaking his head at her and towards the question on whether his date would mind him appointing himself in becoming her date. Possibly, if Bobble weren’t dating Clank, than maybe his boyfriend would have minded the blonde doing this, but he’s boyfriend was aware of Bobble’s intentions by opening up the floor to anyone who wanted a date but wished not to take part in the blind date raffle. “Not at all! If he did, than I believe he would’ve already minded as I do have Ms. Bright as my date as well.” He admitted, referring to Dessa who Bobble had too attended the ball with. “And I’m sure she wouldn’t mind being your date as well, if anything.” He added. At Rosetta’s following words, the tinkerer grinned, delighted at her accepting his offer. “I’m pleased to hear that you accepted! Everyone deserves to have a memorable night tonight, and I promise to aid in doing that for you.”·

♡

“Well, it sure does sound like you’re a hot commodity tonight,” Rosetta teased. “Looking at it now, I should’a entered the raffle. I know it sounds silly, I was just kind of hoping I had a secret admirer out there that was waiting for a chance to ask me out.” She had came so close to putting her name in the pot, but she’d waited too long and ran out of time. It was probably for the best. Even if she was paired with someone absolutely adorable, they’d be someone she didn’t know well and she’d spend up until midnight trying to figure out how to even hold a conversation with them. If only she didn’t get so tongue tied. “You just might be the sweetest person I know. I’m sure it’s going to be a wonderful night now.”

[greenthumbing]

“I’m not sure,” Rosetta admitted, “usually he’s the one not interested.” She felt like it was such a ridiculous thing to say. She was a catch! She knew she was a catch! But when she tried to speak to boys, she made such a fool of herself. No one was going to be interested in a girl that could barely get out a full sentence between giggles --- if she ever got the nerve to speak in the first place. It was so much easier to stare from afar. “You think so? I’ve met some real cutie patooties.”

“Sweet niblets,” Miley muttered under her breath, sighing as she took a sip of her drink. “Hey, you. Is there any way to get a guy to know you’re not interested without hurting his silly little feelings? Like, am I better off leaving his keister on opened or should I at least give a man an ounce of respect? What’s a girl supposed to do these days?” she asked, both to the person beside her and no one at the same time. Now that she was back to being just Miley, the dating world was her oyster: there was no Hannah to deal with this time. “Sorry, it’s been a hot minute since I was in the dating pool, y’know? And this town…the selection could be better, if you know what I mean.”

vanderquaack​: 

Looking up from her own binder - color-coded, meticulously and prettily hand-written, organized by subject, decorated on the outside to reflect perfectly just who owned it - her baby blues landed on the paper in front of her. Her eyebrows raised,and her smile broke into a little chuckle. “ Oh, Rosie, that’s… ” She wanted to say rough, but she also didn’t want to be mean, so she scooted her own notes in between them. “ I got’cha, it’s okay, ” she reassured the other. “ We were talking human anatomy today - head and shoulders stuff. ” Flipping back to the first page of her own notes - complete with a cute hand-written title - she offered, “ If you want, you can copy some of mine down ? I’ve been putting a lot of it down on flashcards for me to study with later, so I’ve got most of the info memorized all ready. ” Biology 103 was easy to get lost in, so extra studying steps was normal for her, even if she did have a photographic memory.

♡

“You are a lifesaver,” Rosetta spoke in a breath of relief. “I must not have rested as well as I thought last night. I knew I was zoning out in class, but not this much.” She stared down at her own notes, more flower doodles than actual notes, just keywords that must have made sense to her a few hours ago, but not now. She was feeling rather tired, so she was going to blame her lack of attention on that. “Maybe if I just take a peek it’ll all start flooding back to me,” she hoped. She didn’t want to steal her friend’s hard work, but if she could just figure out enough to make sense of the lesson itself, she could figure out the rest on her own. “If not, I suppose I’ll be doing a little extra studying tonight.”

dessa was staring down at the plants with a small pout, tilting her head a bit to the side and placing a supportive hand on rosetta’s shoulder and softly snorts hearing her friend add the compliment after her question, as if she even needed to convince her. the girl loved getting to help her friends out no matter how small the situation may be and if the result could turn out to be something as delicious as muffins, she was definitely all for it. “is that a bribe i hear? might need to make a quick trip if we don’t have all the ingredients but would you maybe wanna join me for that? be like my…sous…baker. that’s totally a thing, right? oh! and you also look really pretty today, we might just stop traffic, all out and about!” she jokes lightly.

♡

“Are you saying you don’t keep vegan ingredients lying around for me?” Rosetta feigned a pout, a hand over her heart as if she was hurt by this realization. “Yes, I’d love to. You can point everything out to me so I can pretend I’ll bake them myself next time, even though we both know I’ll come running to you.” She wasn’t incapable of cooking or baking, but she’d much rather her friend lend a helping hand. They always tasted better anyway. “Oh, you are right about that. Everyone is going to be starin’ at us, as they should be.”

“You said it correctly, it is calibrate.” He commented with a slight nod, a smile still very prevalent on his face. In fact, said expression only widen as she spoke, more into this idea and ready to have such an invention come into fruition sooner rather than later. “We would need to test the invention first— if only to make sure it does not retain any inaccuracies or have the capability to suddenly go….awry.” Bobble blinked at himself for that, more than use to some sort of malfunctions happening with his inventions. “So?” He replied, still not understanding why she should be insecure about her voice. “You don’t need to have a natural vocal talent to be good at singing. If you enjoy it, than you should continue singing. And if you want to train your voice, why not look for a vocal trainer to help you? Besides, plants are living organisms, are they not? If your voice was so bad, haven’t you ever wondered why they don’t wilt when you sing to them? Clearly, they must enjoy listening to you sing as much as you enjoy singing to them.”

♡

“Aha! I do know what I’m talking about,” she said proudly, Rosetta had no doubt that she was a smart person, but she was much more gifted in some areas of knowledge than others. “Or show any misreading. That would be bad, if it told you to overwater the plants or something and just caused them to meet their untimely demise. I guess it’s trickier than just throwing together a few robo parts and calling it a day, huh? Eventually you’ll have to teach me how all of that works.” It would be neat to be able to build things like him, even if it took years for her to make a small, meaningless invention that could function. She should add that to her list of goals, to just understand how it worked at the very least. “Well, maybe you’re right. If they hated it they’d make it known. Maybe I am just a natural.”

adellaxtriton·: 

Okay, so it turned out that had maybe hurt a little. Or a lot. Adella wiped her stinging palms on her top, attempting to get some air back into her lungs. When the pain dissipated a little, she smiled at the girl. “No, no- I don’t think so.” She double checked herself over for any cuts, but everything appeared to be just fine. She was thankful for that. 

However, she couldn’t help but notice the almost empty, onion filled cart, and be filled with curiosity. “What is… this?” she asked, gesturing broadly to the whole thing. “If you don’t mind my asking, I mean.”

♡

“Well, that’s a relief,” she let out a breath she hadn’t realize she’d been holding. She would hate for someone to get hurt because of her, even if it wasn’t entirely her fault.

“I guess it’s not everyday you see someone wheelin’ around a pair of onions, huh?” Rosetta let out a small laugh, realizing it might’ve looked strange with it nearly empty. “I’m selling some produce for my parents. There was more than this a couple of hours ago, no one wanted these little guys. I’ll just have to take these home and make some onion rings.”
