Shhhh, Lauren is sleeping

[lauren-alyssa-macintosh]

[sits up, wiping her eyes] Oh that’s fine. Just….not entirely used to random strangers in my cabin.

[madeline-jennings]

I didn't mean to intrude. I've been here a month and still don't have the layout down. Got distracted and ended up here I guess! 

Umm... Long day? 

[lauren-alyssa-macintosh]

Shhhh, Lauren is sleeping

[madeline-jennings]

What if I went blonde?

[unholy-storm]

  -nods- yeah, ok. Tell me a story please.

[madeline-jennings]

Oh, okay. Well...  Theres was a women, a teacher to be exact. Which is never an easy job. But this one, she always smiled. Always, It didn't matter the situation. Kids would talk down to her, give her sass, or did crud things to her room and such. It couldn't have been easy being her. This a women you would never see break. Until one day, She had to watch her son die. Tons of kids saw her grin melt from her face in the fall of tears, yet three days later, that monday she was in her class teaching with a smile on her face. She told the kids. "Yeah, things suck and hurt, and get in your way, but the sooner you realize that you have the ability to get away, heal yourself, and drag a few weights with you the better off you are." That women is amazing.

[madeline-jennings]

[unholy-storm]

-takes the mug gratefully as he wraps a blanket around himself- no I don’t mind. Thank you Mads.

[madeline-jennings]

[madeline-jennings]

What if I went blonde?

[unholy-storm]

[madeline-jennings]

Well, one, wrap yourself in the blanket! {Throws that blanket at him} Two, wait. {Plugs in the Keurig and sets it up. She then pulls out a decorative jar and puts two spoonfuls into each mug. She then places them under the Kuerig one at a time letting them fill up.} {She holds out a large disney lion king mug to him.} Sorry, but minnie is my special mug. Hope you don't mind.

-Allows himself to be taken with Mads- 

[madeline-jennings]

{Opens the door for storm and motions to her bed as she pulls out a large chest from the edge of her bed. She opens it and pulls out a large fluffy red blanket a Keurig, and a small box of other things.} This is my feel better box, I swear its magical. 

[madeline-jennings]

[unholy-storm]

-hugs her tightly- I can’t do it again.

[madeline-jennings]

Looks like we need cider, blankets, and a nice talk. Come on babe. {Holds his hand and starts walking slowly towards her cabin.} 

[madeline-jennings]

What if I went blonde?

[unholy-storm]

I just found out that someone very close to me is going to die. -tears spill out of his eyes and track their way down his face-

[madeline-jennings]

{Speechless staring at storm.} I- umm- oh- well... {Runs to him and hugs him.} Oh Storm.... 

[madeline-jennings]

[unholy-storm]

-fights back tears trying not to think about Anne- because I like your hair the way it is.

[madeline-jennings]

[madeline-jennings]

"Are you going to get down Ji-Hu?"

"It’s nice up here though."

"Fine. I’m coming up."
