Daydreaming By The Daffodils

Picture this. An Arby's sign, with a crowd of daffodils (as in three) growing around one of the posts. A solitary figure sits between, gazing at the flowers. What goes on in that head? A day dream? A conversation rehearsal? Contemplation of the world at large? An internal discussion about the biology and chemistry of plant life? Who knows. Let's make something up. The solitary figure is a girl. She's at a fast food restaurant. Let's stereotypically assume that she is emotionally distraught, because clearly being near a fast food restaurant means she's going to be eating. Fast food, as it were. So. Emotional distress. But what? And why? Well.... men of course. So now she's emotionally distraught over men, and is sitting in front of a fast food restaurant, but why not in it? How about because... she's waiting for a friend. On whose shoulder she will cry and with whom she will eat chocolate. Yes, good plan. Okay, so emotionally distraught over men female waiting for a friend. What happened that she's emotionally distraught? Well.... let's assume her heart is broken. Yeah... good plan. Seems logical, stereotypical, and cliche. But how and why? Well there was this guy. And he and she clicked super well. Yes, yes indeed. Good plan. But that's generally happy making... So... They were together, and life was grand and beautiful and romance flowered, and they were meant to be together. They were soul mates even. But then! He, in a moment of panic was like, "No, though I love you madly and passionately, and you feel the same, we cannot be together! For we've only just met (and this isn't Romeo and Juliet)." And so a decision is reached that together they will not be, but "merely friends." Alright. And they must have been together near an apartment complex, or maybe a park or something, and not terribly far away... So after this discussion, they part ways. And even though they both think (or pretend to think) it was a grand decision and that the other is happy, probably they both think life sucks. Yeah.... But then they won't tell each other, because it's a love story, and communication isn't allowed. So then this lonely, miserable girl walks over to the Arby's sign, and waits for a friend. But why was she walking? Why no car? Because.... She's a college student! Which means she must be waiting for her favorite roommate. Alright. Recap. Emotionally distraught college student female, over a man who she loves and he loves she, but they can't be together because of an unclear objection. This might be Shakespeare worthy.... Or a bad Hollywood romance... Oh look! Her favorite roommate arrived. She has a car... That's nice. And they go into Arby's, presumably to eat. Well. I vote we were right. Hopefully her life works out and she's happy... Because there are a lot of things in fast food that ain't so good for you... Wouldn't want her to join the ranks of the American obese...
