Ashlyn: oh my god *I run to the window and open the curtain* look at this view!
Nini: God it's beautiful, we're in Paris babyyyy!
Ashlyn: we have to go out today and we can do our classes tonight
Nini: Gosh I'm so excited! What are we gonna do first?
Ashlyn: Seb and Carlos said they'd give us a mini tour and they said they'd be here any minute
Nini: I'm so excited to see them again. I met them like once but I never really got to know them
Ashlyn: they're the most lovely people I swear to god
Nini: I can't wait!
Ashlyn: *there's a knock at the door* oh that must be them! *I get the door* bonjour!
Seb: She's already a Parisian *laughs a little*
Carlos: Miss Ashlyn! *I kiss your cheeks* It's so lovely to see you again, we missed you!
Ashlyn: I missed you two too! This is Nini!
Nini: Hi, it's nice to see you guys again!
Carlos: you as well! Are you two ready to venture through Paris?
Nini: Oui! *laughs*
Seb: she's a natural! *laughs*
Nini: That's just what I got from watching Emily in Paris *laughs*
Ashlyn: we definitely binged it on the way here *laughs*
Nini: And, I completed one lesson of French on Duolingo so I mean, I'm practically fluent now
Carlos: okay but I loved that show *laughs*
Seb: It was... intéressant *laughs* (interesting)
Carlos: it was cute
Seb: Whatever you say babe
Carlos: Well let's get going!
Seb: it's gonna get pretty chilly tonight so make sure you have jackets or something
Nini: *I grab a sweatshirt from my room*
Seb: Oh honey, no no no
Nini: What? Is there like a stain on here-
Carlos: You're fashion is terrible
Seb: los! Baby! Careful!
Carlos: I'm just being honest! It's bad, like very very bad. We need to take our girls shopping
Ashlyn: I tried telling her
Nini: For your information, I happen to have not that bad of fashion taste, especially with how horrible some people dress over there *laughs*
Carlos: Americans are weird
Nini: Tell me about it
Carlos: don't get me started
Nini: *laughs* Well let's go!
Carlos: wait... *I look through your suitcase* wear this
Nini: I didn't pack this... Ashhhhh
Ashlyn: wear it!
Nini: Fine *I change* Now am I ready?
Carlos: absolutely
Ashlyn: Then let's move it, I've been waiting to get my city tour! *laughs*
*we all walk downstairs and walk through the city for awhile*
Carlos: we'll get closer to the Eiffel tower later this week. Je te promets
Nini: Promets?
Seb: promise
Nini: Ah, makes sense *laughs a little* So where to next?
Carlos: dinner
Nini: Sounds good
*we all walk towards a restaurant*
Carlos: Ooo, you have to look at this shop before we eat Ash! It has the latest and and most amazing pieces in French Fashion
Seb: Nini and I will grab a table
Carlos: You have to come with Sebby, you know the place better than I do *laughs* Tell the greeter that your with Carlos and Seb, they'll get you a table
Nini: Okay? So I'll see you in a little bit?
Ashlyn: we'll see you in there Nini
Nini: *I walk in* I'm here with reservations, under Carlos and Seb?
Waiter: oh Carlos and Seb! Of course! Come with me
Nini: *I walk over and sit at the table* And now we wait
Ricky: *a few minutes later I walk over* bonjour! Bienvenue à "prendre un morsure"
Nini: Oh um... Oui!
Ricky: Oh désolé... sorry welcome to "take a bite". Now what's a beautiful girl like you doing here on a night like this?
Nini: *Holy... the accent and the flirting? My heart is fluttering* O-oh, I'm um actually waiting for my friends to come join but I'm all alone for the time being *laughs a little*
Ricky: Well is there anything I could get you started with?
Nini: I don't know, is there anything you recommend?
Ricky: mmmm the Chicken Fricassee
Nini: Then I will have the Chicken Fricassee
Ricky: perfect I'll bring that right out... is anyone joining you tonight?
Nini: Just my roommate and her friends, but who knows when they'll be all done shopping. I could be done with a whole meal and dessert by then *laughs a little*
Ricky: mind if I join you until then?
Nini: If you'd like to
Ricky: Parfait! Let me just let the kitchen know and I'll be right back! *I walk away*
Nini: *Oh my goodness is that man beautiful*
Ricky: *I walk back and sit down* So what brings you to Paris?
Nini: I'm actually finishing my schooling abroad
Ricky: through university?
Nini: Mhm, back in my home state
Ricky: And where are you from exactly?
Nini: Chicago, Illinois. It's not exactly next to Canada but under a state that is... incase you don't know your USA map all that well *laughs a little*
Ricky: I've always wanted to travel to America
Nini: It's not all that amazing *laughs* But your English is flawless
Ricky: Well if I'm to own my restaurant in one of Europe's number 1 vacation spots, I've got to know my English. I also know German, Spanish, and Italian
Nini: Wait, you own this place?
Ricky: I do. Well, my father did but it's been passed down to me
Nini: Well then Chef, it takes quite some skill to know 5 languages *laughs*
Ricky: well my German isn't great but yeah... my first language is obviously French but I was also taught English very young. Then I picked up the rest through grade school
Nini: That's still pretty impressive
Ricky: Merci *laughs*
Nini: Oh um... De rien!
Ricky: looks like someone's got a little French in them
Nini: My one duolingo lesson definitely made me fluent *laughs*
Ricky: duolingo?
Nini: It's an app that lets you learn different languages
Ricky: oh cool
Nini: Mhm, so do you often take the orders of customers as the owner?
Ricky: more than I should. I like talking to people *laughs a little*
Nini: Well I'm glad you came over here

Ricky: So am I. So, how long have you been in Paris?
Nini: A few hours
Ricky: And that is all?
Nini: That is all
Ricky: and... what do you think?
Nini: It's so beautiful here, I'm in love with the city of love
Ricky: say "ville de l'amour"
Nini: villy de l amore?
Ricky: no *I say it slower* ville de l'amour
Nini: ville me amour
Ricky: *laughs a little* you're so close... ville De l'amour
Nini: ville de l'amour?
Ricky: Parfait!
Nini: I'm assuming I said city of love?
Ricky: you did in fact say city of love
Nini: I always dreamed of falling in love in Paris when I was a little girl
Ricky: Why's that?
Nini: Well I assumed it's called the city of love for a certain reason and I wanted to be one of the people that fell in love
Ricky: well, as much as I love this city... not everyone here is the most lovable person *laughs a little*
Nini: So I've heard *laughs* But maybe in my year here, I will find myself the most perfect man. Or at least that's what my naive hopeless romantic in me wants to believe
Ricky: then in your case, I hope you find that someone, ... I'm sorry, what's your name?
Nini: Nina, but my friends tend to call me Nini
Ricky: then I wish you all the best, Nini
Nini: Why thank you...
Ricky: I'm Ricky by the way
Nini: Thank you Ricky
*Seb, Carlos and Ashlyn walk in*
Seb: Ricky! Bonjour!
Ricky: Why hello Sebastian! Bonjour Carlos!
Nini: What took all of you so long? *laughs*
Ashlyn: oh my goodness Neens I have to take you in that store... it's beautiful!
Nini: Sounds good Ash... Oh! Ricky, this is my roommate Ashlyn and I would introduce these two but you seem to already know them
Ricky: los and seb live next door to me... it's nice to meet you Ashlyn
Ashlyn: You as well!
Seb: You two seem like you got to know one another
Ricky: Well I could leave her sitting here alone! Besides, she makes great company *laughs a little*
Nini: Well thank you, you make great company too
Seb: well why don't you stick around for dinner Ricky
Ricky: I don't know I'd have to see if-
Carlos: yeah, have dinner with us
Ricky: well alright... if the girls don't mind, I'd love to
Ashlyn: I don't mind
Nini: Then it's settled!
*after dinner*
Ashlyn: *I look down at my clean plate* well that was disgusting *laughs*
Nini: Absolutely, I think I need to have a chat with the owner
Ricky: I'll let him know
Nini: Make sure you tell him that the chicken was just too perfectly seasoned and cooked and that everything was just absolutely delicious, too delicious
Ricky: too delicious... got it!
Nini: *laughs* Well we should probably get going, Ashlyn and I still have to make sure we don't have any missing work for class
Ashlyn: oh yeah... school
Nini: Just one more year, we got this *laughs*
Ricky: Can I get anyone desserts to go?
Nini: I would love some it I think I might be sick if I eat anymore
Ricky: well you can save it for tomorrow.... I'll be right back *I go to the kitchen and grab 3 Baba au Rhums and a few macaroons and distribute them into 3 boxes. In Nini's I add a slip of a paper with my number on it and a note that says "if you want to explore the ville de l'amour with me". I walk back and give ash and Nini each their box and seb and Carlos one box*
Nini: Merci Ricky *laughs a little*
Ricky: so I'll see you all later?
Carlos: Definitely, we will need another person to come help educate these American girls *laughs*
Ricky: then you'll have to let me know when you're giving a second tour... Bonne nuit!
