>>18239786>"Of course, Empress. I'm so glad you're here!"Colby moves about the party with the Yellow Empress, first sampling some shots of sweet-tasting liquer, then a few party favors here and there. But then she gets a tap on her shoulder, and whirls around to see.....
>>18239809>"SURFER GIRL! Hey, this is my friend, the Yellow Empress. Empress, have you met Surfer Girl?"Colby introduces the two and receives the gift of ice cream with a bright smile.
>"Oooooh, homemade ice cream!! We've GOTTA try it!"At once she waves a servant over.
>"Quick, get me a few cups and spoons. And then get the rest of this in that little freezer over there so it stays cold, but we have it to serve to anyone who wants some."In very short time, they have little dishes of the ice cream served up for all of them. It seems Amy may be socializing or making her rounds elsewhere, but Colby makes sure some ice cream gets sent her way too.
>"Thanks again, Surfer Girl! You know, our careers keep intersecting as opponents, but even though you're one of my rivals in the ring, I'm continually impressed by what a sweet, awesome person you are. Thanks again. I can't wait for our match.... but I'm so glad you're here now!Colby taps her ice cream dish against the Empress's and Surfer Girl's in a silly variation on a birthday toast.
>"All smiles!"Her eyes close and her face lights up with delight when she tastes the sweet, cold ice cream.
>"Oh, it's DELICIOUS!">>18239848Colby sees the cupcake from Sola and reads the note, and a soft smile comes over her face.
>"Sola....."Colby looks around, but Sola Fire does not seem to be there. She thinks of texting her, but realizes she doesn't have her phone number. Maybe Amy does. She'll get it somehow. Or write her a note later.
