Lynne's invitation (for Jessica)

Lynne finally reached Auri, all tired and wet from head to toe, but with a wide grin on her face. "Yes!" She said, energetically, while panting a bit from the continued exercise. "It had been so much time sincce I had last gone to the beach... Auri, thank you a lot!"

She leaned in to give her friend a tight hug, also unknowingly getting the witch all wet in the process.

Normally Auri would have yelled at the girl for wetting her body, but for some reason, she just didnt want to. Instead of that, the witch leaned closer and wrapped her arms around Lynne's little back, hugging her back tightly. One of her hands made its way up to the back of the other girl's head and caressed her hair softly. "You're welcome~!" She said with a smile, wondering if this strange but pleasant feeling she was getting could be the result of making a new friend.

When Lynne broke the hug, she finally saw the mess she had done. "Oops! Sorry about that..." She crouched next to the bag with her stuff, rummaging through its contents quickly. "Hang on a bit, I've got a dry towel here somewhere..."

She at last found the towel, and would hand it to the witch. "So... are we going back the same way we came?" She still didn't know exactly how had they come there in the first place, but she trusted in Auri. "She must know what she's doing", she thought.

Auri grabbed the towel that was in Lynne's hand and started drying her her upper body a little bit, though it wasnt really useful now. Oh well, she'd just have to wait until it dries. Anyway, it was time to go. "Alrighty, Lynne," She said as she returned the towel to its owner. "Take my hand." The witch said. You see, to teleport someone with you, you have to be in contact with that person.

Lynne took the towel back, absent-mindedly using it to mop some of the water on her arms. Boy, she was dripping wet when she thought about it. She then threw the towel to her shoulder as she heard Auri's instructions. "Mmkay!" She stretched her hand and held Auri's, waiting for her friend to do her trick.

Auri nodded her head at Lynne as she felt her holding her hand, feeling so good she could stay like that, without casting the teleporting spell to go back home. She stopped to enjoy the landscape for a moment, savouring the moment before lifting her free arm and snapping her fingers. "Here we go!" She said, and without giving Lynne time to blink, they would appear again right in front of the witch's friend's apartment's door.

"Alright then~!" She said. "I should be going home now..." She added, not really wanting to leave now.

Lynne saw Auri turning her back to go home, but she didn't let go of her hand. The two stayed like that for some awkward moments, as Lynne didn't know what to say. What had happened to her was just too fantastic.

At last, she decided on the words. "...It was great." She then let go of Auri's hand. "Let's meet some other time, okay? Promise me!"

Auri slowly turned her head as she felt Lynne's hand not letting go of hers. Blushing lightly, she looked into her friend's eyes for a second. "Ahh..?" She asked, not knowing what to say next. Then, a wide smile appeared in her face. "Of course I promise, silly! We're friends, right? We're supposed to visit each other and go out together~!" She said to Lynne as she winked at her. Then she pulled a pen out of her pocket and grabbed Lynne's hand, writing her phone number on her palm. "There! Gimme a call someday and we'll do something together, mkaay?"

Lynne was ahppy to hear her friend's response, and let Auri's pen tickle her hand. She looked at the number that was now written on it, and thanked her towel for having dried at least that part of her body. "Okay!" Then she noticed that she was still in her swimsuit, leaving a wet stain on the corridor. "Well, I'd better get inside now. See ya, then!"

Auri leaned closer to her friend and gave her one last hug and a kiss to the cheek before turning around. "See yaa~!" She answered as she waved her hand at Lynne, always smiling. She had a lot of fun today, plus she got closer to Lynne in an emotional level. What could be better?

A little worn out, the witch would use her teleportation spell on herself and go home. Hey, she was tired! She just wanted to lay herself on her bed and sleep, wishing someday she could hang out with Lynne again.
