*Maria* Meetings Mean A Lot

[Deleted]

Maria looked at her new friend Finn with an excited smile as she was held. There was something comforting about it, she had to admit, she rather liked that feeling.

"Yes, It's supposed to be cold...hence the name, ice cream..but you get used to it, so no worries." Finn said in response to Maria's observation of the icy treat. "You know, I'm surprised you haven't tasted ice cream before.."

"I mean, only because people are usually always eating ice cream, except if they don't have a sweet tooth, but those people are kind of weird in my opinion, but that might be because I love sweet stuff..I'm rambling aren't I?"

"It's fine, I ramble too, some times. At least.. I think so. Don't really know." She shrugged before going on to say. "I might have, I just can't remember." Maria explained, tapping the top of her head with her index finger twice. "I think I hit my head... Can't remember that either though." Maria looked down at the ice cream she had left, a pained expression crossed her face. "I.. I think I lost something. Well, I mean, I lost a lot obviously. Still.. If only I could.." She shook her head, before handing the ice cream to Finn.

Maria yawned as she stretched out her arms. "I believe I'm tired." At that she giggled, finding amusement in the way she felt. "What time is it? I was never good with keeping time. It was always flying away from me, and I'd try to chase it of course.. but never could. Always ended up somewhere in the past, or far away. Never where I wanted to be." She probably sounded a little nuts, or perhaps she sounded more like a deep day dreamer. Either way, she did sound exhausted.

Finn chuckled and put the ice cream back into the freezer. "Hmm, tired huh? Well, you can sleep in the spare room if you like. It's 4:30 right now." she told her new friend. "I can give you some pajamas to change into, and some clothes for tomorrow, and we could go shopping to get you new ones, if you like. Finn offered.

Gesturing to Maria to make sure she was following, Finn led the way to the guest room, and took some stripy PJs out of the cupboard. She placed them on the guest room bed. "Do you like it in here? I sure hope so, since this is where you'll be sleeping, that is if you decide to stay here." Finn said, smiling at her new friend in a somewhat encouraging way.

"Hmm, tired huh?" Finn asked with a soft chuckle, as she put away the ice cream.

Maria nodded, and started to rub her eye as she let out another yawn. Amazing what regenerating can do to a girls' energy.

"Well, you can sleep in the spare room if you like. It's 4:30 right now." She continued, "I can give you some pajamas to change into, and some clothes for tomorrow, and we could go shopping to get you new ones, if you like."

"That would be amazing." Maria admitted as she got up to follow Finn to her spare bedroom. She watched curiously as the woman got some matching striped shirt and pants outfit from a nearby cupboard, only to place them on the bed.

"Do you like it in here? I sure hope so, since this is where you'll be sleeping," Finn explained with a smile, which Maria returned more than happily. "That is, if you decide to stay here."

"I like it very much," Maria replied as she walked to the side of the bed and flopped down onto it. She giggled softly as her body bounced upon the bed covers. It only took a moment, before she was sitting up straight. "Thank you very much. I would love to stay here, if that's alright with you."

Maria looked at the set of stripy pjs, figuring it wouldn't be so hard to get those on. After all, the only thing she's have to do is slip them on, right? First off with the torn, burnt, and rather large clothes that appeared to belong to someone much taller than the five foot, one inch woman in them.

Maria's sense of decency seemed to have taking quite a turn compared to her last life. As her fingers wrapped around the edge of her old shirt, pulling it up and over her head. She let it drop to the floor, before starting on her pants. Those too, joining her shirt on the floor. Before she went to slip on the pajama bottoms and shirt.

After which, she smiled happily at Finn. "Did I do it right?" She asked, even though, she accidentally put the pajama top on backwards.

Finn watched Maria, amused. "Well, it's good that you like it. You're welcome here for as much time as you need a place to stay." she told her new friend, with a bright smile.

Suddenly Maria started stripping. Slightly surprised, Finn covered her eyes a bit. When Maria asked Finn if she'd put them on right, Finn looked at her then smiled. "Almost perfect, just the top goes the other way round." she told her with a light smile.

Finn really was curious about this woman...she'd been interested in a TV remote, scared of a fridge...perhaps she wasn't of this world? After all, Finn had heard about aliens and stuff coming to earth...maybe Maria was an alien? But this wasn't exactly a time to ask such a thing.
