The day started out slow for birdy this morning, sun shining outside, beans of light flowing in through the curtains as the relatively small terra simply got up and out of bed, still ever groggy and tired, but ready to get everything all going.
She started brewing a nice hot cup of coffee, taking in a sip of it, tasting the delicious, and quite expensive coffe before spitting it out violently in a very cartoonish manner(something she most likely picked up from one of her friends.) a majority of the liquid ending out on her uni companions face, staining their fur a small bit on contact.
“TODAYS THE ANNIVERSARY, AHAHAH
WERE GOING SHOPPING, AN- AND SIGHTSEEING!!. Ope- im so sorry dicee, i didn’t see you there. My baddd…”

The usual calm tempered uni sat and stared dead at her with a glare that could kill a rhino in an instant, if those existed here. The glare being enough to make birdy visibly shiver. Who knew such a cute looking critter could be so scary at times?

“Hey look its not my fault you were there. just bad luck is’all. plus ill help clean ya up, free bubble bath. just stop staring at me like that- you’re scaring me.”

Eurydice let out a loud huff and turned her head away in annoyance at the childish terra, but years of dealing with her made her content to go along with her antics for now, since she knew by now it meant something free for her later on, and like birdy, eurydice was one opportunistic person.(or uni in this case.)

After finishing all her morning preparation and washing eurydice, they left for their day out, taking this chance to go shopping, and then embarking on a journey to see sights, apparently-.


the duo started at the main mass of shops in their town, a sprawled out section of their town that’s littered with hundreds of shops ranging from shoes, clothing, food, jewelry, you name it. stopping firstly at a clothing store they happily went inside and around together, looking to find things they both liked.

Birdy seemed to teleport around the shop, swiftly swapping between squealing about how absolutely cute specific dresses were, then how super duper cool these pants looked, and so on.

“OOOOO EEE DICE DICE LOOK AT THIS ONE LOOK AT THIS ONE!!” The terra says, pointing her wing at a bright blue and yellow dress, though “gown” would be a more apt description for it, as it was as extravagant as you could get.

euyrdice simply followed her around and listened to her, huffing in response to her squeals and yells. Absolutely not at all interested in her odd interest in clothes, seeing as she doesn’t really wear any, being a bird and all… but that wasn’t something for her to think about right now.

eurydice dragged birdy out of the store by her tail after she tried to shoplift a pair of shoes from the back of the store, looking as disappointed as her friends probably would be proud, but birdy only really celebrated occasions with other people if she had to, or really liked them, and today her friends were already at a party, and birdy would be caught dead in a wendys parking lot before attending a party with as many people she heard was going.


the next store they went too was actually a quick visit, the two walking into a small fireworks shop and purchasing a few small scale fireworks for later.

the last store they planned to hit up was simply for food, something the both of them loved, maybe a bit too much at times. the two walked up and noticed the “store” they were looking for, the store turned out to be a very charming stand, selling hot dogs, corndogs, pretzels, and drinks!
(The two of them bought a responsible and reasonable amount of food, definitely.)

After eating both their bodyweight in food, the duo left the shopping district, venturing themselves to a nearby mountain, not before packing all their stuff into a backpack though, stuffing their fireworks, some snacks, and a couple of blankets, and a lighter of course, into a bag and slinging it over her shoulders.

“Okay dice i know you hate this part but you have to trust me.” The terra spoke very softly, and a small bit teasing too, a teensy laugh having to be stifled after the short sentenc due to birdy being in a very happy mood, with a smile and everything.


the uni on the other looked absolutely mortified. like a tiger thats just been taken in for a circus. “REAA-“ Letting out a very disturbed noise, the uni was gently picked up birdys talons as she took off, opting to fly to their destination instead of simply walking, to eurydices dismay.


The trip didnt take long, birdy being a not-slow flyer had it perks at times, this being one of them. The two now sat atop a large and foresty mountain, eurydice sat next to birdy on a blanket, being very glad to be on the ground again, and also happy to help set up their small, picnic-esque area, snacks being set besides them on top of a large blanket, same as the one they were sitting on.

the place their at specifically was perched next to a cliff, the sheer of it having lucious and green vines and moss growing from it. And the forest below them being vast, and beautiful. just the thing birdy was hoping for as they were flying. The two now sat content for a long while, watching the day go past by themselves, comfortable and happy to appreciate this special time.

birdy sits up, reaching over and into the bag she brought, pulling out the fireworks they bought previously, as well as a lighter to set them off. at first eurydice was quite confused that they brought fireworked to the backside of a forest, but realized the fireworks she bought were small, ones just big enough for birdy and herself to see them once lit, and no hazard to the things around them, thankfully.


birdy set the fireworks down after unpackaging the lot of them, making them uniform and neat before lighting them one by one and backing up a slight distance. marveling at them as they started to go off, the items making beautiful patterns infront of the two.

“Eheh, its like a mini lightshow.” Birdy said reflexively, only really thinking about how pretty it was, Eurydice nodding in agreement with their eyes locked on the display. Tail wagging as they sat, now cuddled up to birdy, with birdy having a wing set around the uni. Birdy always really saw them as her friends rather than just a pet, but using her like an overgrown teddy bear wasnt uncommon. And in fact happened so often, eurydice was used to it, and actually liked it quite a bit at times.

“Im glad i got to spend today like i did, this was nice…” birdy said, dozing off into a nap with head layed on her companion.
