<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red"> The continuing crash of the waves clashed against the sea soaked wood of the pier. Ana was laid back her eyes on the sky as she looked at every star, even as a child they had made her swoon gently. The sound of footsteps neared and vibrated through the wooden pier. Ana  rolls over to look at her nearing figure and with a step into the light it appears to be a familiar face. "Chris" she exhaled gently "You scared me" she said sitting up gently rising to her feet. Chris rubbed the back of his head in nervousness "Sorry about that, I wanted to see if you wanted to try out at the singing contest at the Lazy Tuna" he said with a boyish grin. Chris was a faithful friend a great guy and one that saw stars when he saw her. But Ana never felt the same towards him no matter how tried to sweeten up to her. "That's today?" she say's in confusion <span style="font-style: italic">"Must have my days mixed up"</span> she thinks to herself this was happening more and more lost time. "So do you still wanna compete?" he ask's his eyes hopeful. His voice pulling Ana from her thoughts she nods gently "Yes yes lets get going before there is no more spots left" she says a fake relaxed smile. <br/><br/>Soon enough the two arrive at the Lazy Tuna the tile floor covered in sand from the beach and wind. Ana sat next to Chris on the bar, The Lazy Tuna was a local favorite great food, great music, great atmosphere. Ana had learned this through her many visit's with her adopted family, her eyes scanning the buzzing place. A Shirley temple in her hand she stirred the small sword with its prized cherry hanging to it dearly. There were many entries some good, some bad, and some too funny to hold in. Ana sat enjoying moment that she was getting lost in still her mind wandered what her life had been like if he could have stayed but this was nothing that she could change or confirm so as always she sighed and focused on on the future.</span></div>
