Rhia had a couple of rough days trying to adjust to the life in Chicago. Not long ago she was traveling around the world and right now here she was, in the Headquarters of La Hermandad. She didn't know anyone except from WoonBot and adding to that he was always out somewhere. They barely met. One day, out of boredom and frustrated she started ripping off the flowers in the garden that Senorita was carefully tending every day. 'Ay. Dios mio!' Senorita yelled from behind Rhia. 'Pero que haces?!' The voice took Rhia by surprise and in an attempt to turn she fell on her butt getting mud all over herself. 'Lo siento! I was lost in thoughts and I didn't realize what I was doing. Perdoname.' Senorita was trying to hold her anger. After some moments of silence she crossed her arms and finally said. 'Things can't go on like this, amiga. I will take you out and show you around otherwise I think we might lose you.' She pointed to the Headquarters entrance. 'Go and get ready. I'll meet you at the car in 15 minutes. Vámonos!' |

Senorita watched Rhia rush off to change. She pulled a cigarette from her case and lit it, staring at the damage done to her precioso garden. She exhaled slowly, her mind already planning the improvements she was going to make to it. This garden was the calm in her world. Even thinking of her plans was already soothing her. She took one last drag from her cigarette before dropping it on the ground, grinding it out with the toe of her high heeled shoe. She leaned against the car and waited for Rhia to return. A few minutes later she walked outside, bringing her hand up to shield her eyes from the sun. Senorita leaned into the car and grabbed a pair of sunglasses from the console. Turning around she handed them to Rhia. "Aqui, querida, put these on. Come on, let's get out of here." Senorita already had the top down on the car, what was the point of having a convertible if you didn't put it to proper use. She slipped into the drivers seat and grabbed her silk scarf. She wrapped it carefully around her head, tying it just underneath her chin as Rhia slid into the passenger seat. She looked into the side mirror and checked her lipstick before starting up the car. Then she turned towards Rhia and smiled as she gunned the car and they sped off. "Mi querida, this life is full of challenges. And sometimes, si, the work we do can become very monotonous. It is up to us to find our... Como se dice... Nicho. Something that is somewhat of an escape. Take my gardening for example. Focusing on my work with mi preciosas flores soothes me like no other querida. I am in a different world in my garden. Plus, it gives me a break from the demands our world sometimes bogs us down with." Senorita stopped the car at Burnham Park, near the water. She sat there a moment, not saying a word as she stared out across the water. Then she turned towards Rhia and motioned for her to follow her. She stepped out of the car and walked to the front where she leaned against the car and began to remove her shoes. She pointed at Rhia, indicating she do the same. Carrying their shoes in their hands, they walked over to the water. Senorita sat down and let her feet slip into the water. "The key, mi querida, is finding happiness. Even if it is in the smallest of things. Or the biggest. Whether it is a flower, the sound of the water lapping against itself, the smell of your favorite food, giving speeches, visiting local shops. Whatever it is that brings you joy, just do it." |

FuegoSteve was exiting the Science and Industry Museum... He enjoyed learning about the World Fair and the Coal Mining Industry. He thought maybe he could possibly enter the World Fair next year. Maybe bring the truck and show off his own unique recipes to the rest of world. And maybe even learn a few things from the other participants of the fair. As Fuego continued to ponder his plan of entering the fair, he thought he recognized Senorita's car at the park. As he continued to walk closer with his large hoard of bodyguards, all named StudMuffin coincidentally, he found Senorita speaking to Rhia and it looked somewhat serious. Fuego decided to not go over and ease the situation. He found an ice cream shop and entered it. An ice cold treat was definitely something he needed on a warm sunny day. "Can I get a double scoop of cookies and cream on a cone?" As Fuego ordered his ice cream, he saw that Sparkle-Pony through the store's windows... How is this majestic beast just strolling around by itself, and snatching old lady's purses? How does anyone find a beautiful creature like this intimidating? I really could use a lesson in intimidation if a pony can rob someone without a gun... As he exited the ice creamery, Senorita and Rhia were still talking on the water. It looked like they were done having their serious conversation and Fuego wanted to say hello. He jaywalked across the busy street with his bodyguards and approached them from their blind side. "Hey amigas. You gals try the ice creamery across the street? Its not bad." |
