Star's first blank stopped JT's first an inch before hitting her head and the second JT fired was intercept by the gun which Star threw forward straight at JT's open hand.

[i]"I agree. I remember me and my sister would spend all day drawing when we were little." [/i]
-
"You have a sister? I have a younger sister. She's still doing professional sports."
-
[i]"Oh, does she play the same ones you do?" Nat asked. Either she was dodging the question asked to her or just forgot to respond. [/i]
-
"She plays what I [u]used[/u] to play. I kinda retired despite my young age..." Star got a little gloom for a second before cheering up. "She constantly looked up to me and compared herself."
-
[i]"Well, some healthy competition is good yeah?" [/i]
-
Star sighed. "Not much competition. She's advancing far faster than I ever did. Nothing is ever enough for her."
-
[i]"You sound sad about that?" [/i]
-
"She has a problem, Naty. Self esteem issues. I worry sometimes."
-
[i]"Damn. Maybe she just needs to feel validated at some point? I had the same issues when I was younger." [/i]
-
"You'd think the constant 1st place awards would do that. Hey, maybe if she has an off-season you can meet her."
-
[i]"Yeah, I'd like that." [/i]
-
"She's kinda shy despite being on a stage constantly. She might be a little quiet around you at first. So, how's your sister?"
-
[i]"Fûck..." Nat mumbled underneath her breath, stopping in the middle of the field. "Before I bring her up, You've gotta understand that Alex lived with my father until recently. And she was usually looked after by his best friend and ex girlfriend." [/i]
-
"Umm...okay? Why? What happened?" Star stopped walking when she noticed Nat had.
-
[i]"Alex is a little... -blam!-ed up. She's fine and all, but she doesn't understand how to act around people - She's loud, abrasive, brash, and a total whóre. Not in the hot bedroom way but more the 'Next to a school church' way." [/i]
-
"Like, she'd openly have sex with anyone almost everywhere?"
-
[i]"Yeah. The worst part? She uses that to get what she wants. She's a manipulative little bîtch, and... Well, I'll tell you about her mother in a bit." [/i]
-
"She uses sex to get what she wants? Huh. I've dealt with people like that before."
-
[i]"I really shouldn't focus on her bad side. She's a sweetheart. A manipulative, charming sweetheart with a bad attitude." [/i]
-
"You don't get to choose family so you just gotta love 'em." Star shrugged.
-
[i]"Yeah, no matter how shitty they are." [/i]
-
"Exactly! Now, let's move onto another more positive topic. Hm...What do you do for fun?"
-
[i]"Normally I just walk the town and see what kind of trouble I can get myself into. You?" [/i]
-
"Target practice, some reading of light novels, meeting new people around here, working on my guns, and I do you for fun." Star chuckled.
-
[i]"Right, I forgot to add 'Riding Stars' to that list." [/i]
