Girls' Night Out (Marla)

[Shawna Michelle Hart]

In general, Shawna preferred the company of men. But every so often, other women had their uses, too. There were some things you could discuss with women that men just didn't want to talk about. Namely, other men.

Being the society princess that she was, Shawna had a lot of female acquaintances, and she often pretended to think of them as friends. Most of them were terrible bores, all caught up in their own self-aggrandizements to ever be interesting. Marla Sparks was an exception.

The two women had a lot in common, and Shawna found her presence more entertaining than most other women's. They usually met every couple of weeks for drinks. Tonight, Shawna was meeting her in the Leaky Cauldron. She sat at the bar, sipping a Cosmo and waiting for her friend to arrive.

[Marla Sparks]

Marla gave one last look in the mirror before flouncing off to meet Shawna in the Leaky Cauldron. It was theis tradition, and it was the one time in her life that she could let a little loose, although she was always on guard. Instead, she walked down the street, not tripping over any stones on the new shoes she had donned for the occasion. Instead, she enetered the room with as much attention she could grab before spotting her friend in the corner.

"Shawna," she breathed, gliding over to the blonde, and giving her a small air kiss to the left. She turned to the bartender, "surprise me with something delicious."
