28. The Indie Movie Maker and the British Beauty

At an outdoor cafe, Juniper Montage looks at her camera as she watches the footage she got. A parade went through town, and Juniper tapes the whole thing. She was impressed when the Rainbooms went down the streets. The biggest surprise to her was a slender woman with flowing blond hair, and wearing a dark pink unitard decorated with flowers. She rode down the streets riding a handsome white horse.
“Wow. This woman looks so beautiful.” Juniper said. “I’m glad she wore this particular color. Can’t let any kids be shocked at her.”
“Indeed.” Said the voice of a British woman.
Juniper soon saw the same woman from the parade. But, she wore a purple jacket over a white button down shirt with a black tie. She also wore a blue skirt and blue platform shoes.
“No way!” Juniper gasped. “Godiva!”
“That’s me.” The woman replied. “May I sit with you?”
“Uh, sure.”
Godiva soon sat down and chatted with the indie movie girl.
“Looking at the footage to get movie ideas, I see.” Godiva noticed.
“That’s right.” Juniper answered nervously.
Seeing Juniper getting scared, Godiva put her hand on her shoulder. "Calm yourself, love. You don’t have to be afraid of me.”
Juniper felt a little relieved. “Sorry. I never expected to meet someone like you in this area.”
“I’m sure you didn’t.”
Juniper continued to watch the footage. “I’m impressed with your participation in the parade.”
“Thank you, my friend.” Godiva said. “I figured to sport a kid friendly version of my usual wrestling attire. Don’t want any children getting shocked and repulsed, you know.”
“That I can understand. What did the parade officials think of your appearance?”
“They think it’s grand. Many people applauded my appearance. Must be wrestling fans amongst those folks.”
“Could be.”
Soon, a thought came to Godiva’s mind. “I learned of you and your reputation, Miss Juniper Montage. But, how did you recognize me? After all, I’m sporting a different look as you can see.”
“It’s your flowing blond hair.” Juniper answered. “That’s somewhat of a trademark.”
Godiva ran her hand through her hair, knowing Juniper made a point. “Good noticing, love.”
Juniper smiled, knowing that Godiva acknowledged her logic. Soon, Godiva made her an offer. “I’m staying at a hotel around the corner. Would you like to join me for a spot of tea?”
Juniper looked at her watch, which read 3:55 pm. “I get it. It’s coming close to 4 ‘o clock. And, that’s usually tea time in England, where you’re from.”
“That’s correct, Miss Montage.”
“Well, Godiva.” Juniper said, “I would be honored to join you for tea time.”
“Excellent.” Godiva praised. “Then , come with me.”
As Juniper walks down the streets with Godiva, she realized that she made a new friend.
