And so it Begins

Christy was making her way through the local market. She had started to run low on the few things she ate and loved to be sitting around the house, her fruits and vegetables. It was a nice and warm day for spring and Christy decided to take advantage of it. She wore a white strapless top that showed off her slightly tanned skin as well as a pair of dark colored jeans. For once she had her hair pulled up. It was just too warm to leave it down when you were going to be outside and Christy wanted to spend the day outside as much as possible. It had been a while since she was actually able to enjoy getting things she liked.

The only thing that had a look about her was the fact that she looked like she hadn't slept much in the past few days. Everything going on and she knew she really had to start helping Felix the best she could. She made her way up to a fruit stand and began looking at what all they had to offer. "How much?" she asked pointing to a bunch of bananas, who's color was almost so perfect she couldn't resist.

The stand owner looked at her and struggled to find the words. Christy couldn't help but laugh a little. "I'll take those as well as those delicious looking strawberries." she added as she pulled out some money. "Is this enough?" she asked curiously. The man running the stand just shook his head and took the money from her. She held out a canvas bag and the fruit was quickly placed into it as she made her way to the next stand. This one owned by a woman who was selling a variety of different vegetables. She had bought from her before, but it had been a while since she had seen her.

"Calista!" she called out to her. "I know you're here come sell me some food!"

Calista recognized the familiar voice as he came walking out of a cafe carrying her coffee. She was wearing a pair of blue jeans that had designs on the legs. Her shirt was short sleeved and was a beautiful light pink, it had the same design as her pants. Coming around to stand next to her looking at the front of her cart. "Well you know that shouting just makes you look slightly crazy...just kidding Christy." She said as he went around the back picking up her apron. "It's been a while since I've seen you, well that's mostly my fault considering i'm constantly out at the farm."

Calista sat down on a stool in the back of the cart and started sipping on her coffee. She looked very mismatched sitting there wearing an apron that was covered in dirt.

"It does no such thing!" Christy exclaimed in false astonishment, "Why I never..." she broke off laughing a little Calista had been one of the few people she knew that could take a joke like that and not take anything serious out of it like most people would. It was a good change of pace to have a friend who understood sarcasm. She smiled at the thought.

"Well I need food. I think I might attempt to learn to cook." she continued to say. "Well attempt to cook would be an miracle. Learning not to burn down the house would be a better use of the phrase. What all do you have today?" she asked curiously. "I should warn you, I'm buying more than I normally am."

She looked at Calista. She looked as if she had been rolling around in dirt recently. She probably had been, Christy thought. She did grow some of the best vegetables that Christy had ever eaten in her entire life. "You still raising horses?"
