Pepe relaxed, leaning back in his chair at an outdoor table at Florean Fortescue's. He hadn't bought anything yet, he was waiting for his friend, whom he hadn't seen for several months, to show up. They had decided that once Eduardo came to Hogwarts, they would meet somewhere to catch up, and Pepe had suggested the ice cream shop, volunteering to buy.
The day was warm and sunny, so he didn't mind waiting outside. He had brought Guin along, and she was busy sunning herself on his lap. Running a finger down her soft, flexible back spikes, Pepe kept an easy eye out for any sign of Eduardo.

[[I'll delet if you want me to. Just say so. :D ]]
Johana stumbled carelessly into the Ice Cream Parlor. She screamed a little as she hit the floor rather hard. She shook her head as she struggled to stand up. She looked around to see if anyone saw. Of course they had. She got up and dusted off her skirt. She smiled awkwardly at everyone.
She walked quickly to an empty table and sat down lazily. She slouched in her chair trying to relax and forget the pain she was in from falling.
She closed her eyes and soaked in the sun that was hitting her bare skin. Her silver hair glistened in the sun. It looked shimmery. She sighed to herself as she began to think.
Wow that hurt! I wonder what my parents really looked like. I couldn't see their faces at all. I miss them. I wish I knew them but... why did I forget. How come I don't remember what happened. Shoot! She sighed heavily to herself again. Her eyes were still closed. She was trying, straining, to remember something, anything, form before the orphanage. Her head fell a little then her hair fell into her face.

Eduardo walked through Diagon Alley searching for Florean Fortesque's Ice Cream Parlor where he had agreed to meet Pepe after he had been accepted to Hogwarts. The amount of people near him made him nervous and uncomfortable but he refused to let his friend down. Silently he slipped into the Ice cream parlor and wondered if he was in the right place.Finally spotting the relaxed form of his childhood friend sitting outside he took a deep breath and crept toward him nervously.
"Pepe?" he asked in a quite voice that betrayed his uncertainty, "That you?"

Pepe glanced concernedly at the girl who had just fallen. Is she alright? She looks a little lost... He bit his lip, debating whether to go see if she was okay. Might as well. It was that new Gryffindor girl, wasn't it?
He had just introduced hiself and inquired as to her condition whe he heard Eduardo's voice. "Excuse me a moment, miss..." He turnd to his friend.
"Eduardo! Oh, my God, I haen't seen you in forEVER, I swear!!" Pepe gav the taller Spanishby a bear hug that liftedhim off his feet. "Oh, well, c'mon, let's go sit down..." he turned slightly pink, realizing he had been incredibly loud. He led im over to a table near the girl. "Oh, this is, um... Oh." He turned to her. "I'm sorry, what is your name? This is my old friend Eduardo, by the way, Eduardo Velasqez!"

Johana opened her eyes when Pepe had introduced himself. She just sat there and listened. She zoned out for a minute then shook her head. "Sorry. I'm fine actually thanks for asking! And I'm Johana. Johana Shore. I'm a me-" Her eyes shot wide. Why did I just say that. She took a deep breath. "A mess right now. I'm aching a little form the fall but I'll be fine. Thanks for caring." she smiled then scolded herself in her head for almost saying that out loud. She looked out the window and smiled. The sky was a brilliant blue. It was calming to someone who loved to gaze at the sky.

"Oh, good, good. Erm..."Pepe dbated how awkward Eduardomight feel wth an unexpected guest. He could be a little shy at times, particularly around girls. "Would you like to sit with us? Maybe sit and chill, or I'll buy something if you two would like...?" Pepe spread his arms invitingly with a smile, leading Eduardo and Johana back to te table where he had left Guin.

She smiled up at Pepe and Eduardo. "Sue! I'd like that." She followed Pepe to the table and plopped down in a chair.

Eduardo wondered silently what Johana was going to say but pushed it into the back of his mind and sat down. He was weary about how many people were in the shop but tried to be happy at seeing his old friend.
"I'm A Hufflepuff. What are you guys?" Darn! Why can i never say anything intelligent around girls? His hoped he would make a good first impression but he seemed to have blown it. He turned scarlet as they both glanced at him.

Pepe shrugged. "Actually, I thought I'd be in Hufflepuff, but apparently, the Sorting Hat had other ideas, " he chuckled. "Turns out, I'm a Gryffindor. And so's Miss Johana, " he took liberty of adding. He was striving valiantly to keep the conversation and company from becoming too awkward.
"So what extra classes are you planning on taking?" Pepe addressed the question to whomever wanted to answer.
"D'you want ice cream, or are you still on your anti-ice cream kick?" He inquired of Eduardo. "And what d'you want? " he asked Johana.
((I'm just sort of improvising, Eduardo, so if you don't like any of the stuff I make up, just let me know.I'm trying to keep with stuff that will fiut with his, um... "personality". (Haha!) ))

Johana smiled at them both then shook her head. "No thank you." She looked out the window and smiled aimlessly.
She yawned then closed her eyes and let random thoughts run through her mind. She shook her head.

Eduardo grinned devilishly at his friends mention of his ice cream issues he had been having a few years earlier. "Actually, it turns out that i'm allergic to the sprinkles I always put on it....but that is a story for another day. And I'm good." He was noticbly relaxing in the present company but he couldn't help noticing how hansome Pepe looked in the afternoon sunlight. Why can't i tell him how I really feel about him? He shook the thought from his head and promised himself that he would talk to Pepe later.

Johana smiled at the two boys then sighed heavily and then yawned. She slouched in her chair a little the laughed as a random thought rolled in her mind. Then she looked at the two boys bowing her head. "Sorry. Just remembering things." she smiled. She looked at Eduardo and her eyes changed to green. She smiled calmly then she blinked at looked a Pepe smiling, her eyes back to normal.
She didn't realize that had happened but there was a slim chance that Eduardo couldn't notice it. She yawned again then gazed out the window smiling.

Pepe laughed as well. "Heh, I told you it was something about the sprinkles! You only put, y'know, three pounds of 'em on your ice cream at a time!" He glanced at Johana. "It's okay, we like having the company."
"So what d'you think of your classes?"

Eduardo glared at Pepe, "Hey! Leave the sprinkles out of this!" He began to laugh than said brightly, "To tell the truth... their better that i expected! I'm having... fun. And Jesus is enjoying himself, too! " the thought of his cat made him even happier!

"That's good, that's good!" He grinned happily. Glancing at his own pet, he replied, "Guin has been enjoying herself, too."
