Nikki was resting in her small hotel room in Mariala City, but was then awakened by the beeping of her phone. She groaned, still half asleep as she lifted her phone, reading the text on the bright screen. "Stars n' Strikes, huh?" she thought to herself. Nikki unlocked her phone and replied, "What time? I don't have any plans today so..."

When Nikki texted back, Alexis was already texting like three other people. She opened up her message and texted back "maybe like around 6?" Six o'clock was about an hour and a half from now: it was 4:30.

"sure, and where should we meet up??? Should we just meet at the front of the building?" Nikki asked, sending the text. She opened the curtains to her hotel, looking down upon the city. It was nothing like Arcadia, but in a good way. The people in Mariala City were so lively, and there was so much fun stuff to do here. 

"lets meet at the mall- it's the closest place I could think of near by it- maybe if you get there early enough we could do a little shopping just like old times~ But I better make the reservs. cause I heard that the wait for places like these are like 2 hours long anyway." She was excited that she was going to see her best friend. They don't see each other a lot, since Arcadia's location is 3 hours away from Mariala City. 

"sounds great!!! see you soon! :D" and with that, Nikki placed her phone and immediately started to get ready. For this specific occassion, she decided to wear her stroll-style outfit, which consisted of a white tanktop, black leather jacket, a short ruffled black and white skirt, white knee-high socks, and black vans with white shoe laces. She decided to not wear her normal large headphones, and instead carried a small pair of "Pear Phone" headphones in her pocket instead, hoping to share some of her favorite music artists with Alexis when they met up, since the both of them were so interested in music after all.

Being already 4:30, Alexis has been busy all day, so she was already dressed. She wore a more casual but trendy look today. She had on a pale green short dress that goes down to about her mid-thighs with a white collar. Over it, she wore a long sleeve blue jacket with matching blue joggers for pants. For shoes, she had on plain dark green flats with grey soles.

Alexis packed a pair of ear plugs, some makeup, and a portable charger for her Pear Phone, all inside of her dark blue purse. With everything ready, she just took out her comb and brushed her hair and front bangs once more to make sure she was perfectly ready. She threw her comb in her purse, turned on her Pear Watch, and headed out the door.
