Just Try to Relax, Vaggie!
The Trip Over
Just Try to Relax
Rarely did Vaggie ever smile. Or, rather, she rarely smiled because of someone. It never used to happen until she met Charlie. What a fucking day that was.
But as she idled in standstill city traffic, she found herself grinning uncontrollably at the idea of finally getting to pick her new Girlfriend up in the only impressive thing she owned: her shiny, magenta motorcycle that she'd spent the last year and half or so tinkering with and perfecting before she'd bumped into the Princess of hell and fallen in love.
Finally, traffic was moving. The cycle rumbled over the asphalt, and since Vaggie had decided she'd had enough of abiding by the petty rules– the important, moral ones could stay– she began accelerating and weaving through traffic. As her mind began to drift away from the road, she thought of the limo ride she and Charlie had shared on their way back from their most recent date. They had gotten donuts, and, as Vaggie had anticipated, they shared their first kiss. It was a passionate one. A long one.

Charlie had texted her to pick her up at the gate, so Vaggie wouldn't get a chance to go inside, but the palace's beauty could still be admired from a distance.
She slowed the cycle down and cruised up to the last couple of meters of the lane, where a girl in a silk, black button-down shirt with two buttons undone and a red miniskirt was standing tall, looking around for her girlfriend.
"Charlie!" Vaggie said, tempted to honk the horn. But, it seemed that her voice sufficed. Charlie turned her round face towards Vaggie, showing off those eyes. And, well, everything else.
"Ready? Hop on, hon."
The Princess, with all the joy on her face she could muster, got on, grabbing Vaggie's shoulders, and they rode off
