YarnKittymon: : ::very early that morning, before
the sun's up, Dolly finds herself--or what she probably considers
her ghost--out in a back alley in Marquis, alone::
Maeve Owens: DK: ::the change in scenery frightens
her and for several long moments she's frozen in place, unsure
whether or not she should try to venture out and return home.
She doesn't really want anyone to see her like this, so she takes
a few hesitant steps towards the front of the alley to peek around
the corner.::
YarnKittymon: : ::she sees--of all things--a
transparent figure, every bit like a ghost in a movie, and she
suddenly recognizes him as a man she only saw very briefly alive
in Saxton, a man who she knows very well is dead...he looks over
at her with a rather confused expression, then down at
his own arm:: Who are you?
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she looks completely terrified
now that she is looking at Donald's ghost.:: Dolly... ::her voice
trembling:: Am I really dead this time?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::in a low voice:: Well, *I*
am. ::quickly:: It's not so bad, though, honestly. Nothing...really
to be afraid of.
Maeve Owens: DK: ::looks completely lost and
close to having a panic attack:: But I dont want to be dead! And
if its not so bad then why are you lurking in alley ways? ::she
frowns::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks around, frowning; quietly::
I don't know. I don't know why I'm here.
Maeve Owens: DK: Oh. Have you been here long?
::she frowns again:: I'm sorry you ended up like this... after
all you did for Josh. Thank you for that. He thinks the world
of you, you know.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks down; softly:: I don't
deserve that much. I hope he's doing well, though.
Maeve Owens: DK: ::softly and a bit hesitantly::
I dont see why you dont think you would.... You're a hero where
we're concerned. And he's doing fine now that the monsters are
gone. ::she glances away::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::softly:: I'm glad. ::very
quietly, looking around:: I don't suppose...you know Maeve Owens...
Quantum Catz: JK: ::is just heading home from
the bar, he ended up staying an hour or so after closing sorting
some stuff out; when he hears Donald's voice, he pauses, thinking
he's hearing things::
Quantum Catz: ((mwah-ha-ha...you save my brother
and i repay you by going out with the love of your life ^_-))
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she nods:: Yes. I met her
shortly after... well you know.
Quantum Catz: JK: Dolly?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks over at Jack, smiling
slightly:: Jack, you're looking well.
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she just looks horrified
to have someone see her like this and tries to move into the shadows.::
Quantum Catz: JK: ::is looking at them both like
he thinks he's going mad:: Don? What the...? I'm sure i ain't
had anythin' t'drink tonight
YarnKittymon: DL: ::smiling slightly:: I can't
explain either, but...here I am.
Quantum Catz: JK: ::looks at Dolly:: What...about
the kid? Dolly? ::he says her name to her to try and get her to
move forward::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::sobers considerably:: I suppose...she's
dead too, Jack. You don't know how it happened?
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she starts trembling even
more:: But I'll wake up, I always wake up. ::sounds like she's
trying to convince herself but seeing Donald has her thinking
she's really dead now::
Quantum Catz: JK: ::is still looking rather shocked::
I ain't got a clue - i ain't heard anythin'...'n i'm sure Libby
woulda said somethin' earlier if she had...
YarnKittymon: DL: ::seems to waver slightly,
looking back at Dolly:: Where do you last remember being?
Maeve Owens: DK: ::softly:: Asleep.
Quantum Catz: JK: ::looks at Dolly:: Y'said y'always
wake up - you do this often?
Maeve Owens: DK: ::looks like she doesn't want
to answer him but she eventually gives in and nods once::
YarnKittymon: DL: Then you must not be dead.
Maeve Owens: DK: ::sadly:: But I look like a
ghost...
Quantum Catz: JK: Y want me to go wake Isaac
up and check?
Maeve Owens: DK: I dont know... if I'm not then...
::she shakes her head::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::softly:: If you *are* dead,
I'll look after you as well as I can. But maybe you're not.
Quantum Catz: JK: Yeah, but what about you, Don?
What the hell're you doin' here?
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she doesnt look completely
reassured by that, since she doesn't want to leave her family.
She's really wanting Isaac right now but she's kind of ashamed
to let him know about this::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::shakes his head:: I don't
know. I don't know what happened.
Quantum Catz: JK: ::sighs and then looks at Dolly::
I'm gonna go wake Isaac up ::shakes his head:: At least then i
won't be the only one talking to ghosts
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks back at Dolly, then
starts after Jack; softly:: Come on.
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she winces:: Please dont...
I dont think I want him to... know.
Quantum Catz: JK: ::mutters:: Reckon he might
want to though...
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she hesitates to leave the
alley, looking about to see if anyone else is around::
YarnKittymon: : ::it's late, and there's no one
else to be seen, except perhaps a cat or two wandering::
Quantum Catz: JK: ::looks over uncertainly at
Donald:: Y'know...it's been a while since you left...things've
changed... ::thinks about Isaac's relationship with Maeve, wondering
how Isaac's going to react to Donald::
YarnKittymon: DL: How long's it been?
Quantum Catz: JK: More'n a year ::looks back
at Dolly:: Y'okay?
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she nods, slowly coming out
of the alley and kind of hiding behind Jack::
Quantum Catz: JK: ::doesn't much want to be seen
either, walking with two ghosts, rubs at his forehead, still wondering
if he hasn't just gone mad::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::stands on the other side
of Dolly, as if to protect her, looking around the town he once
lived in, feeling rather detached::
Maeve Owens: DK: ::is really nervous about telling
Isaac::
Quantum Catz: JK: ::hesitates when he reaches
Isaac's door, glancing first at Donald and then at Dolly:: Um...Don...i...maybe
it ain't such a good idea for you to be here too...
YarnKittymon: DL: ::softly:: Does Joshua live
here? I want...I'd just like to see him, even while he's sleeping.
Quantum Catz: JK: Well, yeah, but...i reckon
Isaac might have a fit to see Dolly *and* you like this...
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks at Dolly; quietly::
Or we could probably get through the door without even knocking,
and go up to your room to see if you're all right.
Maeve Owens: DK: ::nods:: Then we wouldnt have
to wake them up for nothing.
Quantum Catz: JK: ::sighs:: Look, Don, you know
i ain't much of a man for mixing my words and i know if i was
him and i was awake in there and found you in my house i'd be
scared sh-- ::stops, glancing at Dolly:: I'd be pretty damn worried...
Maeve Owens: DK: ::quietly:: I can go by myself.
I'll come right back out.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks at Jack, then puts
his hands in his pockets, standing against the wall, so he couldn't
even be seen from out the window:: Maybe you're right.
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she rather abruptly disappears
from the spot she was standing in::
Quantum Catz: JK: ::looks at the space where
she was standing:: You reckon she woke up?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::softly:: I don't know...you'd
better check, if you don't want me to.
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she wakes up in her room,
a little stunned but very happy to have a body again that doesnt
look transparent. She quickly gets out of bed and tries to rush
downstairs before they alert Isaac::
Quantum Catz: JK: It ain't that, mate...it's
just... ::pauses for a moment, as if considering his words and
then simply says:: Isaac's goin' out with Maeve now...i reckon
he wouldn't react too well t'seeing you
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks at Jack, almost as
if he doesn't understand, then looks back down at, or rather,
through, his own hand; softly:: She couldn't love me while I had
a body; I doubt she'd come back to me now that I'm dead. ::looks
back up at Jack; softly:: Is she happy?
Quantum Catz: JK: ::shrugs:: Far as i can see
Maeve Owens: DK: ::tries to make it quietly
down the stairs and she cringes each time the floor boards make
noise::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::hasn't been able to sleep
much in the past week since the episode with the Shuhuh so he's
still actually awake; he opens his door when he hears someone
walking about:: Dolly?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::closes his eyes, leaning
back against the wall--and promptly falling right through it into
Isaac's house, looking around as he gets to his feet, noiselessly::
Maeve Owens: DK; ::she freezes and turns to
face him;: Isaac. Did I wake you? I'm sorry...
Quantum Catz: IS: I was awake anyway - you okay?
Maeve Owens: DK; ::hesitantly:: Um, yeah.
Quantum Catz: IS: You sure? You should be asleep
Quantum Catz: JK: ::groans:: Damn ::hesitates
at knocking the door though, hoping that Donald'll come straight
back out again::
Maeve Owens: DK: Yeah. I just woke up.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::is walking hesitantly back
towards the wall, when he hears a door creak open and a gasp,
then a boy whisper:: You came!
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she frowns when she hears
Josh and turns to go see what he is talking about;:
Quantum Catz: IS: ::sighs:: Don't tell me Josh
is up as well
YarnKittymon: JH: ::comes out from his downstairs
bedroom, gazing in awe at Donald; softly:: You really came...
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks at the boy, too startled
to move::
Maeve Owens: DK: ::looking puzzled:: Whats going
on Josh? Do you know why he's here?
Quantum Catz: IS: ::when Isaac reaches the bottom
of the stairs he just stares at Donald::
YarnKittymon: JH: ::reaches out, trying to take
Donald's hand, and seems mildly disappointed when he can't touch
it; looks back up at Dolly and Isaac:: I saw an advertisement
in the newspaper for a lady who would bring back dead people to
visit. When she came to Pine I went over there and I told her
about Mommy and then Mr. Quinn, but she said she wanted 100 gold
to do it, and she moved on. I didn't think she'd bring him! ::looks
back at Donald, eagerly:: Did you see Mommy around here?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks at Isaac and Dolly,
then back at Joshua, rather dazed::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::takes a step backward:: That's
impossible
Maeve Owens: DK: ::is struck rather speechless
and looks a little sad when he mentions their mother::
YarnKittymon: JH: ::frowns:: Well, he's here,
isn't he? ::looks at Donald seriously:: Thank you for saving my
life. I'm sorry you died.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::shakes his head; softly::
I suppose it was for the best. ::fixes his eyes again on the young
man he's guessed is Isaac::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::is looking completely in
shock:: It's impossible! ::looks at the man:: You're not here
because of Maeve...are you?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::softly:: I guess I'm here
because Joshua summoned me. I'm not...I'd like to say goodbye
to Maeve, God willing, but I don't...I don't suppose I'll be here
forever, so there's no point in fooling myself into thinking I
could make her happy this time around.
Quantum Catz: JK: ::finally sighs and knocks
on the door, pretty sure that something must have happened to
stop Donald from leaving::
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she winces, looking nervous
again but she doesnt make a move towards the door::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::turns his head towards the
door, a smile forming on his face, and it quickly fades; softly::
That's Jack; he's wondering what happened to me, I suppose.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::moves over and opens the
door, happy for the distraction - he looks rather pale to be faced
with Donald, even if he doesn't seem to be out for revenge over
him going out with Maeve; mutters to Jack:: He's over there
Maeve Owens: DK: ::is hoping they stick to the
subject of Donald, is hoping so hard she's holding her breath::
Quantum Catz: JK: ::walks in and sees Dolly::
Yer okay, then?
YarnKittymon: JH: ::looks at Isaac, honestly
surprised his brother's so uncomfortable::
Maeve Owens: DK: ::looks a little defeated and
she nods her head. She peaks over at Isaac to see if he heard
then quickly away::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::notices his brother's look
but appreciates the distraction of Dolly:: What d'you mean she's
okay? Where was she?
Maeve Owens: DK: ::frowns, although since he's
talking to Jack she doesnt feel she has to answer::
Quantum Catz: JK: Wandering round playin' ghost
like Don - said it was her power but we came here t'check
YarnKittymon: JH: ::after a moment, runs over
to Dolly, grabbing her arm, to make sure she's solid; softly::
You're not dead, right?
Maeve Owens: DK: ::forces a small smile:: No,
I'm fine.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::moves towards Dolly:: Is
that what happens when you see things like you did before?
Maeve Owens: DK: ::the smile fades and she nods;
sadly:: Yeah...
YarnKittymon: JH: ::lets go of Dolly, slipping
back to Donald again, but still looking at his sister:: Did you
bring Mr. Quinn with you?
Quantum Catz: IS: ::reaches out to touch her
as well, putting his hand on her shoulder:: Just because she looked
like a ghost, that doesn't mean she was really dead, Josh
Maeve Owens: DK: ::shakes her head:: No, when
it happened he was already there. I dont actually choose the places
I end up... ::frowns:: I dont think I do anyway.
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she looks up at Isaac a little
sadly, almost like she's going to ask something but then changes
her mind::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::is quiet for a little while,
then, softly, glancing at Jack, then looking back at the others::
I...had no right to come in and bother all of you. I'm sorry.
I just wanted to see that Joshua was all right.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::softly, still not really
looking at Donald:: That's alright...we all owe you a huge debt
for saving him...
YarnKittymon: DL: ::turning towards the door,
never mind he could walk just as easily through the wall; softly::
You don't owe me anything. If you've brought Maeve even a bit
of happiness, we're more than even.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::looks up at Donald when he
says that and smiles, although rather weakly:: All i want is for
her to be happy
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks back at Isaac; softly::
Then take good care of her, and protect her, since I won't be
around to do it.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::nods::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::soberly, looking at Jack,
though they all can hear:: I suppose Maeve hasn't moved to a different
house, then?
Quantum Catz: JK: No.. ::glances at Isaac:: But
i reckon it's a bit late to go see her right now, mate
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks a little surprised,
as though he hadn't thought of the time; softly:: Do you think...she'd
even want to see me? I don't even know if I'll still be here in
the morning.
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she smiles sadly at him::
She visited your grave.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::softly:: She blamed herself
when she found out you were dead...maybe it would be good for
her to know you don't think that...
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks slightly surprised;
quietly:: I'd best be off, then. Isaac, do you want to come with
me?
Quantum Catz: IS: Maybe that would be better...
::smiles weakly:: At least then there'll be someone there to tell
her she's not going mad
YarnKittymon: DL: ::smiles at Isaac, already
feeling a friendship for him, though much of that might be because
just about everyone whose memory is being drawn upon to create
his "ghost" is fond of Isaac as well; he goes out the
door, or, rather, through it, and walks towards Maeve's house::
Quantum Catz: JK: ::looks at Isaac after Donald's
left:: Good luck...i reckon i'd better get home - there ain't
nothing i've got to say to Don that i ain't already said ::heads
out of the door the normal way and heads off::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::smiles weakly at Jack and
then turns to Dolly and Josh:: You two get to bed now ::then he
jogs off after Donald::
YarnKittymon: JH: ::watches his brother leave,
but doesn't seem inclined to follow his command, looking instead
towards the kitchen::
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she frowns, not feeling all
that much up to sleeping either. She follows his gaze; softly::
Midnight snack?
YarnKittymon: JH: ::grins at his sister:: Maybe
there's some cookies left. ::goes to check::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::gets to Maeve's house, but
can't knock on the door, and he's looking like he might not have
the courage to::
Quantum Catz: EK: ::appears at the top of the
stairs, looking half-asleep:: What's going on? i thought i heard
voices...
Quantum Catz: IS: ::looks over at Donald, hesitating::
You want me to talk to her first?
YarnKittymon: JH: ::cheerfully:: A gypsy brought
Mr. Quinn back from the dead. ::pauses, looking back at Dolly::
Do you think Mommy's around?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::after a moment:: Please.
She might...might not even want to talk with me.
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she shrugs; sadly:: I dont
know... if so.. what if she doesnt know to look here?
Quantum Catz: EK: ::moves downstairs to his brother
and sister:: Where's Isaac? Are there any cookies?
Quantum Catz: IS: ::nods:: Okay
Maeve Owens: DK: He took Donald to see Maeve.
Josh was looking... ::looks to Josh:: Did you find any?
YarnKittymon: JH: ::walks into the kitchen, raiding
the cookie jar; there's four cookies left, and he hands one to
Eli:: He went off to see Maeve with Mr. Quinn.
Maeve Owens: DK: ::reaches out for one as well::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::takes a deep breath and then
knocks on Maeve's door::
Quantum Catz: EK: ::holds the cookie in his hand::
Mr Quinn's really back from the dead?
Maeve Owens: MV: ::she answers the door wearing
a very modest robe which she is holding tightly closed. She's
brushed her fingers through her hair in an attempt to tame it
some, although it still has that wind blown look to it. She frowns
when she sees Isaac there; worriedly:: What's wrong? Did something
happen?
YarnKittymon: JH: ::snags a cookie, leaving the
last for Isaac:: It was his ghost, but he was here, honest.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::is behind the corner of Maeve's
house, listening, but unable to even see her::
Quantum Catz: IS: Well...kind of... ::hesitates::
It's Mr. Quinn...he...::hesitates again::
Quantum Catz: EK: What'd a gypsy do that for?
YarnKittymon: JH: ::shrugs:: Maybe she felt sorry
for us after all. Or maybe she didn't mean to do it. I hope he
stays for a while.
Maeve Owens: MV: ::she frowns:: Donald? ::she
rubs at her tired eyes:: What... are you okay? ::looks a little
bit more worried now::
Maeve Owens: DK: I wish we could be sure on
whether or not she brought mom back. ::munches on her cookie::
YarnKittymon: JH: ::slowly:: We could look for
her.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::is still looking quite pale
from before:: Well...Josh says a gypsy did it...but he's...his
ghost...he wants to see you...
Quantum Catz: EK: Where would we look? If mom
thought we were anywhere she'd think we were in Saxton
YarnKittymon: JH: ::his eyes light up, but only
briefly; discouraged:: Then she'd probably be drowned.
Maeve Owens: MV: ::her mouth falls open and
she peeks her head out the door; whispers:: *what*? Thats impo-
::she cuts herself off when she remembers the woman in New York::
but why? what...
Quantum Catz: IS: ::sighs and shakes his head::
I've no idea...he wanted to see you though...and i said i'd talk
to you first
Maeve Owens: DK: ::shakes her head:: She'd see
the water and turn around... that is if she ended up the same
place Donald is. Maybe she hasn't come yet.. maybe she will when
Donald leaves.
YarnKittymon: JH: You really think so?
Maeve Owens: MV: ::she swallows hard, not sure
about it at first but then she shrugs; softly:: Um, okay... uh,
where is he? ::she looks a bit nervous now::
Maeve Owens: DK: ::softly:: I hope so.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::steps out from behind the
side of Maeve's house, looking completely unreal in the night,
though there's an expression Maeve remembers well in his eyes;
softly:: Maeve...
Maeve Owens: MV: ::wasn't at all prepared for
it as she thought she might be and she looks rather startled.
She bites down hard on her lower lip as she stares at him; soflty::
Donald?
Quantum Catz: IS: ::reaches out to hold Maeve's
hand but hesitates and lowers it again, looking down::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::nods; softly:: I'm not here
to upset you. I don't know why I'm here, though Joshua seems to
think he brought me, and that's good a reason as any. I just...even
though I'm dead, I wanted to see you.
Maeve Owens: MV: ::she glances to Isaac then
winces, her tired mind just now picking up on the fact that Donald's
here and well now her and Isaac... the thought now makes her a
little more nervous. She shakes her head:: I'm sorry... I just..
YarnKittymon: DL: ::shakes his head:: Please,
don't be upset.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::looks up at Maeve, wanting
to help her but not sure what to do, especially with Donald there::
Maeve Owens: MV: I'm not... I just wasn't expecting
this.. and you have to admit this is pretty... well I had said
I wanted to say goodbye so I guess I'm being given the chance...
::smiles weakly at Isaac, although with Donald there she doesn't
know if taking Isaac's hand would just make things more awkward::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::after a long pause; quietly::
I know I promised to be around to take care of you...even after
I'd left, I'd imagined coming back someday, before...well in a
few years, to try to protect you. I'd been silly enough to think
that maybe...
Quantum Catz: IS: ::frowns a bit at Donald's
words, glancing at Maeve again, wondering what Donald thought
would happen in a few years::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::she winces a little, but
doesn't offer an explanation, she glances away from them, struggling
for the right words:: I'm sorry you died, I'm so glad you were
able to save Josh though.
YarnKittymon: DL: ::softly:: It looks like I
did more good by dying than I've ever done before.
Maeve Owens: MV: Whether you lived or died wouldn't
have mattered, you saved him and thats all that counts.
YarnKittymon: JH: ::finishes his cookie, then::
I'm going out to see if she's around after all. I'd feel bad if
she was here and couldn't find us.
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she's a little hopefull as
well, and she just cant find the words to tell him no:: I'm going
with you.
Quantum Catz: EK: If Isaac comes back and we're
not home, we'll be in big trouble
YarnKittymon: DL: ::softly:: They tried to save
me. I guess...it was my time.
YarnKittymon: JH: Maybe he won't check our rooms.
::sweeps up the crumbs from the counter::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::she winces at that too; softly::
No it wasn't I messed that up but in a way... ::sighs:: I'm glad
Josh is alive.
Maeve Owens: DK: Or we could just go tell him.
YarnKittymon: JH: ::nods:: Yeah. I'm sure he
wants to see her too, if she's around.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::softly:: I would've given
anything for my powers to bring you back then - i felt like i
owed you that and i just couldn't do it
Quantum Catz: EK: But what if he says 'no'?
YarnKittymon: DL: ::softly:: It wasn't your fault.
My father died when I was just a child...weak hearts ran in our
family. It's probably just as well I didn't have any children
myself.
Maeve Owens: DK: We'll figure that out when
or if it happens. We shouldnt worry him at any rate if he comes
back and doesnt know where we are.
YarnKittymon: JH: ::quietly:: I don't want to
worry Isaac anyway. We should probably tell him.
Maeve Owens: MV: ::winces at that too, starting
to feel rather upset::
Maeve Owens: DK: Then lets go. ::heads for the
door::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::softly:: When it comes down
to it, Maeve...it's good that I left.
YarnKittymon: JH: ::follows Dolly out, looking
around to make sure they're not spotted, then walks off towards
Maeve's house, staying close beside his sister::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::finally takes Maeve's hand
squeezing it::
Quantum Catz: EK: ::follows them::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::she quickly turns to look
at him, a little surprised but she forces a happy smile and squeezes
back. Glancing back to Donald, she doesn't say anything, not having
a response to that::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks at Maeve a moment longer,
then, turns away, as Josh and the others come from the other direction;
softly:: I'm still sorry I hurt you, Maeve. Had to tell you one
last time, for old time's sake.
Maeve Owens: MV: ::winces yet *again*, not wanting
to bring that up either:: I know. I'm sorry I couldn't... ::she
looks to Isaac really quick but then just gives up:: get past
it. ::then hopes Donald doesnt say anything more::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::softly:: I don't blame you
for never forgiving me. Not now, anyway. I mean...I nearly killed
you all...
YarnKittymon: JH: ::stops, listening silently::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::frowns:: You what? ::his
hand tightens on Maeve's::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::she tenses, her breath catching
slightly; groans:: Donald...
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks at Isaac; softly, and
rather sadly:: She can tell you everything, less forgivingly than
I would.
Maeve Owens: MV: I wasn't planning on telling
them at all! ::softly:: Especially Josh...
Quantum Catz: IS: ::frowns at Donald, glancing
at Maeve, and then lets go of her hand and moves towards his siblings::
You should all be in bed - come on
YarnKittymon: JH: ::shakes his hand, walking
closer to Donald, his eyes wide; softly:: Is it true? ::looks
back at Maeve::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::watches Isaac walk away with
a pained look, not having a good feeling about this; mutters sadly::
yes...
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looking rather sick and sad,
as much as reliving the moment he betrayed Maeve; looks down at
Josh:: I've tried my whole life to make up for it, but I guess
I can't get past it.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::runs a hand through his hair,
looking upset:: Josh, this isn't the time
YarnKittymon: JH: ::looks at Donald a moment
longer, then runs back to Isaac, his hands balled into fists::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::sadly:: I'm sorry Josh...
::she looks over to Isaac::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::reaches out to touch Josh's
arm as he gets closer; looks over at Maeve - he has a rather pained
expression on his face himself, but Josh is a more immediate problem
than anything Donald did to Maeve in the past::
YarnKittymon: JH: ::buries his face in Isaac's
arm, trying hard not to cry::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::turns away, his head hung
low; softly:: All of you...I'm so sorry...
Quantum Catz: IS: ::puts his arm around Josh
and glances at Dolly and Eli:: It's okay, Josh - let's get home
Maeve Owens: MV: ::she's more worried for Josh
at the moment as well, and she watches him sadly::
YarnKittymon: JH: ::manages--barely--to keep
from crying as he goes back home with his siblings::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::doesn't even glance back
at Maeve and Donald as he leads Josh away::
YarnKittymon: DL: ::looks at Maeve, afraid to
even speak; he finally clears his throat and says:: Goodbye, Maeve.
::and turns to leave::
