[A tinny man's voice gives what is clearly a default answer machine message. Vira-Lorr is still figuring the phone out it seems.]

Don't sell yourself short there. You're pretty special, you know.

[She pitched it to sound a bit like a tease, even as her fingers sort of rested between Makoto's. If it felt almost but not quite like a date? Well, that was pretty intentional on one of their part, but she didn't want to press it too much further.

The stars shot past them and she smiled to herself.]

You know there's enough shooting stars right now, I imagine we could all get away with a wish for ourselves.

[Alright, that made her blush as she drew her knees up a little. She knew Vira-Lorr didn't mean it like that, or well she thought that Vira-Lorr didn't mean it like that. But still, Makoto found herself returning the gesture and holding the other's hand as their fingers laced between one another.]

What's your wish?

[onerthes]

Shhh. You're not allowed to tell someone your wish, Makoto. It will never have a chance of coming true if you do that. But, I'll promise you this. If mine ever does come true, you'll be the first to know.

[She felt the stiffening, the nerves and she tried to relax a little. She was laying it on thick, and ... Makoto didn't feel ready. The nerves were there, and as perfect as this moment might have seemed on the surface, it was a lie. The meteors were because she'd died. This beautiful display was because she'd been stupid, taken a risk and broken like stained glass. And now she was here, lying to someone she was getting interested in. It felt... like it only looked like the perfect day on the surface, and it needed to actually be perfect.

Chuckling a little, she glanced over, catching Makoto's eye out of the corner and seeing the blush. She really did look cute when her cheeks matched her hair.]

It's only fair. If I make my wish here with you, I should tell you first when it comes true, and vice versa? They don't always, but I think tonight we've got a shot of it, if we're patient

[thunderingcourage]

Oh, right.

[She had forgotten that part. Though it seemed a little childish. Then again when one of the stars went shooting by Makoto couldn't help but close her eyes and make a wish. Wishing that she could find that special someone. It wasn't that she expected it to come true, but there had been a lot of conversations recently about it, and everyone seemed so happy with who they were; Makoto wanted that same happiness.]

You really think so?

[She couldn't help but think about how Ami would probably say something about them not actually being stars or something.]

[onerthes]

I am certain of it. A wish is only the possibility that we make come true with our own wills. The stars just help.

[Totally out of her ass on that one, but it sounded poetic enough. Vira-Lorr really should have kept hers generic like Makoto's, to leave herself open, because who could say what would happen in the next few months. But she didn't. Her eyes picked one out and she wished 'I wish to find love, perhaps with this girl.' She was, admittedly, starting to crush a little on her own, and having to remind herself what a century or two had taught her, especially the last two years, about leaping in without looking. She could hold back when it was her heart, but she certainly was the romantic sort to get her hopes up.]

I just want to stay here resting my head against you for a while. This is ... really nice, Makoto. Thank you for tonight.

[thunderingcourage]

You're welcome.

[The rest of the night passed by with the two of them sitting there and enjoying the beauty of the night and the lights filling the sky.]
