herself at her::: My twin!!! :::grabs her into a hug:::
Aldez15: AZ: ::hugs her back:: now that's
more of a greeting

perfect little angel.
Aldez15: AZ: ::coughs in her hand:: oh of
course you are
YarnKittymon: TY: ::pauses:: We brought you changes
of clothes, and some food that *doesn't* suck.

by maeve waking her up:: Great ::sits up::

her sister and then looks over at the clothes that Toby brought,

orange things.

I don't think I was able to find anything on clothes))
YarnKittymon: LB: ::rather sternly:: Be sure
to eat something, too.
SP00KY One: MV: :::she pouts and leans up against
the head rest::: Fine, what did you get anyway?
YarnKittymon: LB: Quite a bit of canned foods,
a loaf of bread, a few tomatoes and peaches...
SP00KY One: MV: :::she wrinkles her nose and
sighs::: Throw me a peach.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::does so, a little recklessly::
SP00KY One: MV: :::she tries to catch it but
it falls through her fingers and hits her in the chin before falling
onto her lap::: Ouch. :::she rubs at her chin for a moment and

to Maeve and Aldez::

shirt; softly:: I guess Dan got to you then
YarnKittymon: TY: ::glances back at Becky, smiling
slightly; there's a bit of chocolate on the side of his mouth::
Not sure you want me to give you the greeting he sent back...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::chuckles slightly:: He didn't
lick you, did he?
YarnKittymon: TY: ::smirks:: Yeah.
YarnKittymon: LB: We have some peanut butter
and preserves; shall I make you a sandwich, Maeve?
Quantum Catz: BM: ::chuckles again although her
smile soon fades::

her stomach slightly revolting against her, she swallows hard:::
Ummm... sure.

moment, then resumes eating::

might drink something too.

a milkshake. :::tries to give her sister a reassuring smile:::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::glances back at Maeve:: C'mon;
what I made you didn't resemble a milkshake.
SP00KY One: MV: ::smirks::: Maybe not in taste
but it did in looks.
YarnKittymon: TY: ::softly:: I'm no good at that
sort of thing.

thought that counts. And seeing that you didnt have much to work
with...

bar and crumples the paper wrapper; glances back at Becky; mouthing,
"You want one?"::

and freezes it before eating::

deeply::
SP00KY One: MV: :::perks up::: Candy? As in
chocolate?
YarnKittymon: TY: ::not looking at Maeve:: I
didn't say anything.
SP00KY One: MV: Yeah, right. She was shaking
her head at something. :::reaches for the bag:::
YarnKittymon: : ::there's about a dozen candy
bars in there, half Hershey's, the other half assorted chocolate-type
bars of the period::
SP00KY One: MV: :::her eyes light up and she
grabs one of the Herhsey bars::: Yes! Didn't think I was ever
going to see another one of these again. :::tears into it and
starts eating it happily:::
Aldez15: AZ: ::also grabs a hershey bar::
I almost forgot what one tasted like
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly, not looking up::
Maeve, you should eat some healthy food.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::stands up:: I need some fresh
air ::heads for the door::
SP00KY One: MV: :::between mouth fulls::: Chocolate
is healthy, gets the blood pumping. :::she smiles::: Hey, I had
a peach.
Aldez15: AZ: You could always have a chocolate
covered peach
YarnKittymon: LB: ::waits a moment, then follows
Becky to the door::
YarnKittymon: TY: I could do that, you know.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::goes outside and leans against
the wall, covering her face in her hands::
Aldez15: AZ: ::glances up at Libby as she
leaves:: What's up with Becky?
SP00KY One: MV: Hey now there is an idea. :::grabs
another peach and roasts the chocolate over a fireball, melting
it onto the peach::: Thanks, I got this one covered.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks at Becky, and starts
to cry a moment later, turning away::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::softly:: I don't believe
this's happening
YarnKittymon: LB: ::between tears:: We'll...we'll
be together.
YarnKittymon: TY: ::frowns, looking at Aldez::
Well, aren't you going to miss your sister?
Aldez15: AZ: How am I going to miss her?
She's not going anywhere without me
YarnKittymon: TY: ::frowns, looking at Aldez::
You two already had this discussion. Or were you lying to her?
SP00KY One: MV: :::looks blankly at Toby, the
peach forgotten and the chocolate dripping down her hand:::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::hisses; softly so Maeve doesn't
hear:: When? Where? On the *island*? If i *wanted* to go to the
island i'd already *live* there
Aldez15: AZ: ::looks confused:: Lying? What
did you think I would let her go off by herself? We've been seperated
too long for that to happen again. Where she goes, I go
YarnKittymon: LB: Toby...said he can change you...or...you
can move to Canada or Europe, once Maeve's safe.
YarnKittymon: TY: ::suddenly, a bit coldly::
I don't think I could handle the both of you.
Aldez15: AZ: ::getting angry:: well the
choice is yours, either way I am not abandoning her
YarnKittymon: TY: You want her to get arrested
again? You think they won't just shoot her on sight?
SP00KY One: MV: :::she watches the two of them,
a little confused as to what just happened around here:::
Aldez15: AZ: Of course I don't want her
arrested. I know what the risks are. But I am not willing to lose
her again!
Quantum Catz: BM: ::mutters:: Like Maeve even
seems to care right now
YarnKittymon: TY: You don't think the odds are
better if you split up? Half as many cops after each of you?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: It'll be all right,
somehow.
SP00KY One: ((i am sooo lost... aldez had a
discussion with someone about what was happening???))
Aldez15: ((not that I was aware of..))
Quantum Catz: ((libby...i assume...before they
came here? ))
YarnKittymon: ((Toby just threw it on Aldez that
she had said she agreed to Libby's plan))
SP00KY One: ((oh. ok))
Quantum Catz: BM: ::sighs::
Aldez15: AZ: ::sarcastically:: Oh right,
that sounds so much better. Let me just live the rest of my life
without knowing what happened to my sister.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::wipes her eyes; luckily,
she's not wearing any make-up, or she'd really look a fright::
I promise, this will work out, Becky...
YarnKittymon: TY: Who said the rest of your life?
You can meet us on that lousy island!
Aldez15: AZ: I am going with her
Quantum Catz: BM: I guess
SP00KY One: MV: :::she snaps out of her little
confused state::: Are you out of your mind! You cant send her
back there! They'll shoot *her* on sight!
Aldez15: AZ: It's going to be risky either
way, and I'd rather know what's going on, then meet you all on
the island later just to find out she's been killed
YarnKittymon: TY: ::sarcastically:: Great, so
we can all die together in a rain of bullets. Guess Becky will
be *real* glad I gave her a body.
SP00KY One: MV: :::frowns::: And I definitely
do *not* want to sit on that Island worrying that she wont ever
make it!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly, still crying:: I'm
going to miss you so much...
YarnKittymon: TY: You think Libby wants to stay
back here? But she knows it's everyone's best chance!
Aldez15: AZ: Do what you want. You're not
obligated to help us anymore.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::covers her face again, trying
not to cry herself:: I don't want to leave you and Dan...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: It won't be long
at all...really...
YarnKittymon: TY: ::suddenly goes to the door;
opens it wide and storms out, slamming it behind him, and going
to the car, ignoring Becky and Libby::
SP00KY One: MV: :::watches him storm out:::
Uh oh. We're in trouble.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::moves her hands to watch
Toby go to the car, rather surprised::
Aldez15: AZ: ::looks somewhat satisfied::
oh well
YarnKittymon: TY: ::opens the back and takes
out the bag or two of the things of Maeve's they brought; goes
back inside and tosses them onto the bed:: Then good luck, you
two. I hope you don't get killed.
YarnKittymon: : ::before Aldez can reply, she
vanishes::
SP00KY One: MV: :::stares at the place her
twin was just sitting and screams::: Aldez!!! No! ::::bursts into
tears::: Why is this happening!!!
YarnKittymon: TY: ::just stares; holds up his
hands:: Wasn't me.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::goes to the door to see why
Maeve's screaming::
SP00KY One: MV: :::glares at Toby::: Well!
Are you happy now! She's gone and Im most likely never going to
see her again! :::barries her head in her hands:::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::steps back, silently::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::wipes her eyes again--they're
rather red now--and goes to the door; looks inside, groaning::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::sharply:: You think you're
the only one who's going to miss someone?
SP00KY One: MV: :::angrily:: There is a difference
between missing someone and have them ripped from your side twice
in one lifetime! :::quietly::: and then never knowing if you will
ever see them again... *again*.
Quantum Catz: BM: She'll probably re-appear at
some point ::turns away::
SP00KY One: MV: :::looks up at Libby sadly:::
Do you have any idea where she is? how far she went? I still dont
think its a good idea for her to be here, in New York.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::her voice lacking inflection::
Forward in time. Lord knows where she'll end up.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::walks a bit away from the
room and the others, her arms folded, looking up at the sky::
SP00KY One: MV: :::groans::: wonderful.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::quietly:: Think how much
happier your life would be if you hadn't met me.
SP00KY One: MV: :::looks at Libby strangely:::
Your kidding me right? If I hadn't met you Libby I probably would
have been dead long ago. I think thats more the other way around.
YarnKittymon: : ::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::folds her hands:: But you
can't trust me on this.
YarnKittymon: : ::.Jasmine suddenly appears beside
Becky::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::jumps a bit when Jasmine
appears:: Oh...hi...
JopDance: jm: ::frowns a little:: Hi. Where
are we?
Quantum Catz: BM: ::shrugs:: Motel. Me and Maeve're
on the run from the cops ::smiles wryly:: Fun, eh?
SP00KY One: MV: :::confused::: Cant trust you
on what?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly, her voice shaking::
That everything will turn out all right?
JopDance: jm: I'm sure it would have happened
sooner or later.
SP00KY One: MV: :::looks down at her lap::
Oh.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::sighs:: I guess
YarnKittymon: LB: I didn't want any of this to
happen, Maeve. But Toby swore he knew you'd be killed...
JopDance: ((This probably would have been
in the news or something, huh? But I guess Jasmine doesn't read
the papers.))
SP00KY One: MV: :::gulps, looking away::: Well,
if the dreams I've had are any indication I would assume that
he is right.
YarnKittymon: ((Her arrest would've been, but
them being on the run won't be in 'til at least tomorrow))
YarnKittymon: TY: What?
JopDance: jm: Is this because of what happened
at the Madison place? Where are you going to go?
SP00KY One: MV: :::she shrugs, laughing nervously:::
Nothing really, never mind. Forget I said anything.
YarnKittymon: TY: ::quietly:: I'm *sure* I was
right.
Quantum Catz: BM: An island...for varients on
the west coast... And yeah...Maeve was arrested for what she did
and....Toby said she'd die so we....rescued her...
JopDance: jm: ::eyebrows raise:: You broke
her out of jail?
Quantum Catz: BM: ::softly:: Yeah...and it'd've
been a lot easier if she hadn't argued with me over it when i
got there
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: The more people
you have, the easier it is to track you, Maeve.
SP00KY One: MV: :::she sighs::: I know. I just
dont know if i can survive another, :::pauses::: God knows how
long, without her again, not knowing if she is alive or alright.
What if she is back here and they think she is me? I still dont
think
SP00KY One: she should stay.
JopDance: jm: I guess it's understandable.
Her feeling guilty.
YarnKittymon: LB: I never said she should. But
she could take a train, or a bus, or something...just not with
you.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::mutters:: Well, yeah but
now they know what *I* look like!
SP00KY One: MV: :::nods, still looking rather
depressed::: Does she even know where it is that we are going?
JopDance: jm: Don't you...do you still have
your powers? I never quite understood what happened to you that
night.
YarnKittymon: LB: If she pops up here, I'll tell
her. ::bites her lip:: It wouldn't hurt to disguise your appearance
a bit, Maeve.
SP00KY One: MV: :::looks at her quizzically:::
What? You want me to cut my hair?
Quantum Catz: BM: Yeah, i've still got my powers
- that's how i got her out - but they're still coming back so
i can't go anywhere to get away
YarnKittymon: LB: ::nods, frowning:: It'd help.
YarnKittymon: TY: ::softly:: I could change you
back once we made it to the island.
SP00KY One: MV: :::shrugs::: Fine. Get me some
scissors. And maybe a hat. :::fingers a piece of her hair, frowning::
I've never had it short before.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::takes a pair of scissors
out of the grocery bag::
SP00KY One: MV: :::sighs::: oh, you already
thought of that.
JopDance: jm: You could get a disguise until
then, I guess. I bet Libby has a lot of stage make-up left over.
Maybe something will be useful.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::nods, sighing:: I should
go...get Becky, I guess.
YarnKittymon: TY: ::goes to the door:: I will.
I don't know that I want to be here watching you attack her hair.
SP00KY One: MV: :::glares at Toby::: So i havent
had a brush the past three days!
Quantum Catz: BM: ::sighs again:: Yeah. Look...Jasmine...i'm
sorry...but i'm not really in the mood for talking...i'd rather
be alone
YarnKittymon: TY: ::smiles:: I didn't mean that;
I meant...oh, never mind. ::goes outside::
JopDance: jm: S'fine. ::quietly:: Tell everyone
I said good-bye.
Quantum Catz: BM: You could go in and see Libby
and Maeve if you want
YarnKittymon: TY: ::sees Becky and Jasmine; approaches
slowly, not wanting to interrupt::
SP00KY One: MV: :::sighs and looks over at
Libby::: Ok , make this quick. :::squeezes her eyes shut:::
JopDance: jm: ::sees Toby and offers a small
wave, not really remembering his name:: Hi...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::glances at him and then turns
away again::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: Actually, you should
comb your hair first, or it will be a mess.
YarnKittymon: TY: ::frowns at Becky, then smiles
at Jasmine:: Came to see us off?
SP00KY One: MV: :::opens her eyes and looks
at the scissors warily::: Do you have a comb?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::pulls one from her purse
and hands it to Maeve::
SP00KY One: MV: ::she takes the comb and starts
running to through her hair, wincing as it tangles in the knots:::
YarnKittymon: LB: If you get your hair wet first
it'll help.
JopDance: jm: ::bemused smile:: Looks that
way. ::clears her throat:: I guess I'll leave you two alone. ::walks
into the room::
SP00KY One: MV: :::yanks the comb out::: Okay.
:::walks into the bathroom and proceeds to wet her hair and try
to comb it out:::
YarnKittymon: TY: Hey, wait! ::walks alongside
Jasmine; quickly:: Uh...thanks for what you did for Becky...back
there...helping her into her body, I mean.
JopDance: jm: ::awkwardly:: No problem. Really.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::walks further away, her arms
wrapped round herself::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::softly:: Thanks, though.
::goes back to catch up with Becky::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::mutters to Toby, not looking
at him:: Has Maeve stopped moping yet?
YarnKittymon: TY: Kind of...she's...um...Libby's...cutting
her hair.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::raises her hand to touch
her own hair, not saying anything::
YarnKittymon: TY: I can fix it later...
JopDance: jm: ::her voice is strained:: Hi
Libby. Maeve.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks up at Jasmine, rather
surprised:: Oh...I tried to get in touch with you, Jasmine...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::shrugs:: Doesn't matter.
It's just hair...should maybe change the colour as well...specially
with Maeve...
SP00KY One: MV: :::jumps, yanking the comb
a little to hard::: Oh, hi Jasmine.
YarnKittymon: TY: I will. Are you all right?
JopDance: jm: ::smiles:: Well I guess I made
it one way or another.
SP00KY One: MV: :::finishes combing the tangles
out of her hair, which is now completely wet along with her clothes:::
Quantum Catz: BM: I have to leave my two closest
friends to go to an island i never wanted to go to - other than
that, yeah, i'm just *peachy*
YarnKittymon: LB: ::goes to the bathroom and
gets a towel; drapes it over Maeve's shoulders; glances back at
Jasmine:: We need to disguise her, but don't say a word to anyone.
YarnKittymon: TY: ::looks down; softly:: I know...but
what am *I*, then?
JopDance: jm: ::shakes her head:: No, of
course not.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: Sit down, Maeve.
SP00KY One: MV: :::she cringes and sits down,
squeezing her eyes shut again::: Okay, I'm ready.
Quantum Catz: BM: You're... ::blushes slightly
and then says weakly:: My *newest* closest friend?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::considers for a moment, then
snips Maeve's hair, leaving her bangs, and cutting the rest to
about chin length, a little higher than that in the front, and
slightly lower in the back, a bob that looks pretty good with
her
YarnKittymon: wavy hair::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::softly:: I'm sorry all this
happened, Becky. But it...it was the right thing to do.
JopDance: jm: ::smiles:: It looks good, Maeve.
Quantum Catz: BM: I've thought that before, you
know...and it turned out wrong...i hope it doesn't this time...
SP00KY One: MV: :::opens one eye and then the
other, almost tearing up::: Nice job Libby. I'm just gonna miss
my long hair! :::she sniffles and then looks up and smiles at
Libby::: Thanks.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::smiles slightly:: I'm glad
you don't hate it.
SP00KY One: MV: :::still smiling::: the short
hair will just take some getting used to. I like the bangs though.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: Those were already
yours. Good to keep a bit of your old style, right?
SP00KY One: MV: :::nods::: I guess so.
JopDance: jm: When are you leaving?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: Soon...
SP00KY One: MV: :::quietly:: This is really
happening isn't it? :::she fingers her now short hair:::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::softly:: If it does...I guess
I'll have to change it...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::weakly:: I should've brought
you a scarf; I daresay your neck might get cold, the first day
or two...
JopDance: jm: Then I guess I'd better leave
you to prepare...::grasps Libby's hand (the one that doesn't have
any scissors) in both of her own. Bye, Libby. ::smiles at Maeve;
softly:: Bye. And good luck.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::softly:: You'd be changing
things forever if you kept going back to make them exactly like
you wanted
SP00KY One: MV: :::smiles back and waves:::
Thanks, nice knowing you Jasmine.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::hugs Jasmine, then pauses::
Wait. I'm not going anywhere yet.
YarnKittymon: TY: Not exactly, but good enough.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::presses her hands to her
eyes, trying not to cry again:: Maybe this'll be good enough
YarnKittymon: TY: ::puts his arms around Becky;
softly:: I'll *make* it good enough, okay?
JopDance: jm: ::gently disentangles herself::
I really should be going. And I'm sure you have a lot to do.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::nods to Jasmine:: Do you
have a ride back? I'm...going to 'phone for a taxi. I'm not going
with them, you see; I'll follow later, once they're away safely.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::jokes weakly:: Unless Maeve
drives us both insane...then i guess it wouldn't matter so much
to us...
YarnKittymon: TY: ::smiles:: See? We'll have
a great time. ::doesn't voice his concern that Aldez may re-appear::
JopDance: jm: I can find one easily enough.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::hugs Toby tightly, her eyes
squeezed shut::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: Come and see me
if you like, and if you're not afraid. And take care, Jasmine.
YarnKittymon: TY: ::holds Becky, not saying anything
at all::
JopDance: jm: ::smiles:: You too. ::leaves::
SP00KY One: MV: ::::sighs again, looking rather
depressed:::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::quietly:: I'd have bought
something to make you blonde, but Toby said he could do it...
SP00KY One: MV: :::looks a little taken back:::
Blonde? How about black? or brown maybe?
Quantum Catz: BM: ::pulls away; softly:: Guess
we'd better go back to the room ::doesn't look like she really
wants to::
SP00KY One: MV: ::a little hopeful::: Or why
change it at all? Wouldn't a hat work?
YarnKittymon: LB: I suppose Toby could make it...blue,
if he liked. And I guess he could make you a hat...
YarnKittymon: TY: ::takes Becky's hand:: I could
show Libby how to address something to Christa...she could relay
messages...
SP00KY One: MV: :::perks up::: Blue hair? Neat.
YarnKittymon: LB: No, Maeve. Not 'til you're
safe.
SP00KY One: MV: :::frowns::: this "on
the run" thing is putting a damper on everything.
YarnKittymon: LB: Becky's a wanted criminal now.
I won't let that be for nothing.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::chuckles:: It's an awful
roundabout way to get a message through
SP00KY One: MV: :::she casts her eyes to the
floor::: Sorry.
YarnKittymon: TY: No, but if it'd make you feel
better, it's worth a try.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::smiles up at him:: Thanks
YarnKittymon: LB: ::tries to smile at Maeve,
though it doesn't come out right:: Just be careful, all right?
Even if it's no fun; you'll be on the island in a few weeks' time,
and then you can behave like a lunatic.
YarnKittymon: TY: ::softly:: Come on. ::walks
back to the room::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::goes with him, silently::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::knocks once, then opens the
door to the room; can't help but stare at Maeve, though he knew
she was going to have a haircut::
SP00KY One: MV: :::she shrugs, looking rather
guilty and doesn't say anything:::
YarnKittymon: TY: It's nice.
SP00KY One: MV: :::gives him a half smile;
softly::: Thanks.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::looks at the ground, not
saying anything::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::very softly:: Do you want
me to cut yours, Becky, or should Toby...?
Quantum Catz: BM: ::shrugs:: Doesn't matter
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: Then I will, if
you don't mind. You might get it wet first, and comb it. Toby
will even it out if I do a poor job.
SP00KY One: MV: :::she gets up and moves out
of their way and into the other room. Sitting down on the bed
and staring out into space.:::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::goes to do as Libby says::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::watches Becky, trying to
steady her hands::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::leans against the wall, sighing;
after a moment, glances at Maeve:: Want me to change the color?
SP00KY One: MV: ::smirks::: Not really but
I guess I have no choice.
YarnKittymon: TY: What do you want? Not green;
sorry.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::combs through her hair, glancing
at Libby, rather sadly::
SP00KY One: MV: :::shakes her head:: I would
rather have blue but Libby thinks it might draw to much attention.

of the hair off the bed, where it fell; hands the towel to Becky
when she's done combing::

a blue stripe all along the bottom of her hair:: Like that?
SP00KY One: MV: :::looks at the blue stripe
and grins::: Yes! I have blue hair! Or a strand of it anyway.
YarnKittymon: TY: Seriously, though...maybe a
dark brown?
Quantum Catz: BM: ::puts the towel over her shoulders::
SP00KY One: MV: :::smiles again::: With some
red strands in it? :::pouts::: I liked my red.
SP00KY One: MV: :::thinks for a moment then
excitedly::: Or maybe black with silver streaks! Or hey, lets
just go all silver. Not gray mind you, but a silver color. Or
maybe a dark purplish color thats close to red.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::sits Becky down, studying
her for a bit, and then cuts it, a bit shorter than Maeve's, with
bangs, a kind of boyish cut, very fashionable::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::shakes his head, smiling
weakly:: Maybe kind of red highlights, but that's it. Nothing
crazy.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::shakes her head when Libby's
done, brushing her hand through what's left; smiles weakly:: Wow,
my head feels all light
SP00KY One: MV: :::still smiling, she shrugs:::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::laughs slightly:: That's
what I thought, when I did this, though that was probably 7 years
ago. Had to wear a hat just to keep my head from floating off
my shoulders.
YarnKittymon: TY: ::stands closer to Maeve, and
carefully runs his hands through her hair, starting at the scalp
(and looking at it quite closely to make sure he doesn't change
the color of anything but hair); turns all her hair a deep brown
YarnKittymon: color, the exact shade of Becky's::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::chuckles:: I guess this'll
make it easier to brush, anyway
YarnKittymon: LB: ::smiles:: And it's not every
girl who can get her hair bobbed and then have it changed back
a month later if she doesn't like it.
Quantum Catz: ((lol, we could make becky the
red head ^_- ))
YarnKittymon: ((Heehee...confuse the poor cops
after them ^_^))
Quantum Catz: BM: Yeah ::brushes her hand through
her hair again::
SP00KY One: MV: :::quietly::: is it over yet?
YarnKittymon: TY: I *think* so...::looks at Becky;
can't help but stare, she looks so different::
SP00KY One: MV: :::looks at herself in the
mirror, just staring:::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::catches Toby staring and
smiles weakly::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::smiles at Maeve:: It looks
natural.
SP00KY One: MV: Well, I cant say there is another
person in this world that looks like me anymore. :::her eyes tear
up a little and she bites her lip to keep from letting them fall:::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::smiles back, also weakly;
walks over to her:: What color? Might as well go all out on it,
right?
YarnKittymon: LB: ::puts her hand on Maeve's
shoulder:: It'll grow back, in time.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::shrugs:: Take your pick just
don't make *me* a redhead
YarnKittymon: TY: ::pulls a stray cut hair off
of Becky's neck, then tries her as blonde::
SP00KY One: MV: :::she nods:::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::pulls at a strand of hair
to look at it; smiles slightly:: Never really pictured myself
as a blonde
YarnKittymon: TY: Well, they say they have more
fun....
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: I don't know if
*I'd* recognize you...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::smiles:: I guess that's a
good thing then
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks closely at Maeve, frowning::
Your eyebrows...
SP00KY One: MV: :::nods::: yeah, I suppose
they have to be fixed too.
YarnKittymon: TY: Want me to get rid of 'em like
those women you see all the time, or just make 'em brown?
SP00KY One: MV: :::glares at him::: Turning
them brown will be just fine thank you.
YarnKittymon: TY: ::laughs:: I thought you wanted
to be fashionable. ::quickly fixes Maeve's eyebrows::
SP00KY One: MV: I prefer to go against the
fashion.
YarnKittymon: TY: ::looks at Becky for a moment,
frowning::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::is resting her chin on her
hands, elbows on knees, not looking at him::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::puts the scissors back in
the bag; weakly:: I guess...you should be going...
SP00KY One: MV: :::with false enthusiasm:::
Yay! Road trip!
Quantum Catz: BM: ::softly:: Yay...
YarnKittymon: TY: ::glances at Becky:: You want
me to tell her about Christa?
SP00KY One: MV: Whose Christa?
Quantum Catz: BM: Sure, i guess
YarnKittymon: TY: Christa...is my friend in the
future. If you need to...get ahold of us, she can send messages
to me. And if you write...a book or something, that says what
you want her to tell me, and then give it to someone and have
them *promise*
to give it to Christa Nicholas the day she gets to Kitar Island...sometime
in 2002, I guess...she'll get whatever you send her.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::stares at Toby blankly::
SP00KY One: MV: :::also staring blankly at
Toby:::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::smiles weakly:: It works
Libby, trust me
YarnKittymon: TY: ::frowns:: I left my book at
Raymond's, but I wrote the day on it. You can probably get it
if you ask him, and just add to it. It...gets to her somehow...she
had us save Maeve, after all.
SP00KY One: MV: ::she blinks, still trying
to put the pieces together, she shakes her head, giving up:::
YarnKittymon: TY: It's like...if I sent a letter
to you and asked it not to be delivered until three years from
now...that could happen, right? And when Christa gets the letter...she's
linked up with me, I guess, wherever--or *when*ever--I am
YarnKittymon: , and she can send me messages...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::shakes her head:: Stop, please;
I don't need a headache. But I'll try.
SP00KY One: MV: Does that mean I stayed dead
until 2002?
Quantum Catz: BM: Technically, yeah
SP00KY One: MV: Youch.
YarnKittymon: TY: You look pretty good, for having
been dead 70 years.
SP00KY One: MV: ::smiles::: Thank you, you
guys did pretty good at breaking me out for being 70 years old.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::sighs, looking at the other
three:: The police...will be looking for you.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::softly:: That a hint to get
going?
SP00KY One: MV: :::stops smiling:::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::cringes:: I don't want you
to leave at all...but I want you to stay alive...
SP00KY One: MV: :::cringes too, feeling another
big load of guilt resting on her shoulders:::
Quantum Catz: BM: I didn't die last time...i
don't plan on doing it this time
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: I promise, I'll
come and meet you as soon as I can. Just try to find me on the
20th of September; Daniel and I will be there by then.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::nods::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::her voice catching:: All
of you...take care of each other.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::jumps up and hugs Libby::
I'm sorry
SP00KY One: MV: :::sits there quietly, looking
everywhere but at any of them:::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::hugs Becky back, tightly::
You be *really* careful, Becky...
Quantum Catz: BM: I will...and tell Dan...tell
Dan i'm sorry i had to leave him
YarnKittymon: LB: I will. And I'm sure he'll
understand...it won't be for long...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::pulls away, blinking back
the tears she's been fighting since this happened:: I hope not...
YarnKittymon: LB: ::wipes her eyes; after a moment::
Have some fun, too. You're going to see the whole country, after
all, in a fast car.
SP00KY One: MV: :::grumbles:: Yeah, one that
will probably be reported stolen.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: Do you think so?
If he figures out who did it?
Quantum Catz: BM: ::wipes at her own eyes:: He
probably wouldn't want to get you caught Maeve, if he thought
it was you
SP00KY One: MV: That is true. Guess you will
have to make sure he knows it was me then.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::weakly:: If we'd just asked,
perhaps he'd have given us the keys himself...
SP00KY One: MV: :::starts thinking about Donald
and is somewhere between mad and depressed:::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::frowns, a little anxious,
but doesn't speak::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::looks at Maeve; quietly::
Maeve, thank you for saving all of us.
SP00KY One: MV: :::grins::: Hey, no problem,
dont mention it. :::clears her throat::: More importantly, thanks
for breaking my out of prison. Sorry you guys are already living
to regret it.
YarnKittymon: TY: It'll turn out all right...some
people would kill to have a cross-country vacation, right?
SP00KY One: MV: Maybe if it didn't involve
an almost convicted murderer.
Quantum Catz: BM: ::doesn't say anything; runs
her hand through her hair again::
YarnKittymon: TY: Well, you would've been convicted...just
not tried.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::puts her hand on Maeve's
shoulder:: Good luck.
SP00KY One: MV: :::tries to smile at Libby
but fails:::: Thanks. You too.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::softly:: Do you...want me
to send a message to him?
SP00KY One: MV: :::looks at her quizzically:::
To Donald? Maybe to tell him about me stealing his car and that
he can sit there and rot in jail for all I care.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::nods; softly:: All right.
::looks back at Toby:: Young man, you behave. ::glances back at
Maeve:: Make sure he doesn't try to pull anything over on Becky,
all right?
SP00KY One: MV: :::smirks::: Like I am good
at judging that anymore. But I'll keep my eye out
Quantum Catz: BM: ::blinks; blushing slightly::
Hey, i can look after myself, thanks
YarnKittymon: TY: ::smiles at Libby:: I can drive
you back to Coney, if you want.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::shakes her head:: The sooner
you get out of New York, the better. All of you...::blinks hard,
several times; can't finish::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::looks at the ground::
SP00KY One: MV: :: she stares at the wall:::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::after a long moment, picks
up the bags from the floor; softly:: Come on, you two. She's right;
we should get going, if we don't want to get caught.
SP00KY One: MV: :::numbly she gets up from
the bed and moves toward the door::::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::tears springing to her eyes
again:: I'll...I'll see you soon, Libby
YarnKittymon: LB: ::smiles bravely at Becky::
Take care...all of you...::smiles again, and then opens the door;
walks off towards the lobby, quickly, not looking back::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::watches Libby leave then
slowly moves towards the car::
SP00KY One: MV: :::her eyes stay focussed on
the ground, she gets to the car and opens the door, climbing into
the back seat.:::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::walks alongside Becky, carrying
the bags; puts them into the back of the car, and then gets in
the driver's side:: Don't worry; my driving's bad enough, it'll
make you forget your other troubles.
SP00KY One: MV: :::she doesn't comment, just
stares out the window:::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::smiles weakly as she climbs
in the front:: Just don't crash...i can handle anything else
YarnKittymon: TY: I'll try my best, but hold
on tight, just in case, okay? ::puts the key in the ignition,
and, with just a little difficulty, gets the car going::
