"All The Constellations" - Chapter 2: Back Together
On to Chapter 2! The new profiles (which are quite a good read, if I do say so myself) are here: HRD's Constellations
Location: Kaya Tripp and Delaney Nero's Apartment
Kaya: I’m home!
Delaney: Hey Kaya-whoa. Do people stare at you when you ride the train dressed like that?
Kaya: Of course.
Delaney: Don’t you have a changing room at work?
Kaya: Yes.
Delaney: Why don’t you ever use it?
Kaya: Because how would that be funny?
Delaney: You’re horrible. You know, I don’t think Nikes are a part of traditional Native American dress.
Kaya: Sure they are. Didn’t you ever see Back to the Future?
Delaney: *rolls eyes* Oh, hi, Saki.
Kaya: Anything new at work?
Delaney: Same old, same old. By the way, we decided stripes are in again.
Kaya: Damn. I’m going to have to shopping.
Delaney: How was the museum?
Kaya: God, I don’t want to talk about it!
Delaney: Sawyer?
Kaya: Don’t say the devil’s name! You’ll call him to us!
Delaney: Fine, fine. Oh, by the way, Josie and Gideon are coming over for dinner in about a half-hour.
Kaya: Jesus Christ, woman! Why didn’t you tell me that? I need to change!!!
Delaney: This wouldn’t be a problem if you started changing at work.
Kaya: Pssh. Like that’s gonna happen.
Location: Najae
Natalie: Ah, Chinese food, why are you so delicious?
*knock on door*
Natalie: We’re closed.
Girl: Even for family?
Natalie: EVA!!! You’re back!
Evangeline: Nattie!! I missed my big sister.
Natalie: What brings you back from Paris? You’ve brought the dog, so I assume it’s not just a visit?
Evangeline: Well…I quit my job.
Natalie: What? Come, sit down.
Natalie: Why’d you quit?
Evangeline: It just wasn’t what I wanted to do anymore. I’ve been out of high school for over a year now, and I just don’t feel any different. So I decided I needed a change of scenery, so I came back. But now I’m jobless and homeless.
Natalie: Well, you’re welcome to stay here for the time being. And I’ll talk to Josie about getting you some work here.
Evangeline: Thanks, sis.
Location: Kaya Tripp and Delaney Nero's Apartment
Gideon: Thanks for dinner, Delaney.
Josie: Yeah, it was great.
Delaney: Oh, it was no problem.
Kaya: I’ve had better.
Delaney: Do you want to be homeless? Because I can kick you out right now.
Kaya: I love you and you’re the best roommate ever?
Delaney: That’s better. So, Josie, when’s the baby due?
Josie: Any day now. I’m glad Gideon made it back in time.
Kaya: Speaking of which, how’d the tour go, Gideon?
Gideon: Oh, same old, same old. Thousands of adoring fans for Miles, none for me. Although…I did get several pairs of panties thrown at me…
*Josie glares at him*
Gideon:….which I promptly threw away because that’s unsanitary and I love my wife very much.
Kaya: *stifling laughter* Well, that’s why we love you. How’s the new record coming along?
Gideon: We’re about halfway done. It’s gonna be awesome. How’s work going for you two at the magazine?
*Delaney and Kaya exchange looks.*
Delaney: Oh, more of the same, deciding what’s “in” for next year really gets boring after awhile. There’s only a finite number of styles to choose from.
Kaya: And there’s only a finite number of people that call or come up to the front desk. The life of a receptionist! So glamorous!! I’m still looking for writing job, though.
Josie: At least you’re looking. I’ve got the world’s largest child living on my couch.
Kaya: Jana?
Josie: Yep. I’m sick of it. She graduated college over a year ago, she’s been back from Europe for about a month, and I’ve yet to see her go out and look for a job. I’m seriously considering having Baylor attack her so she’ll leave for good….
Kaya: Josie!!
Josie: Just a little nip!!! No flesh wounds. Well, deep ones, anyways…
*Everyone laughs.*
To be continued...
So yeah. Trust me, it starts getting good soon :D Just one thing: I've gotten a lot of compliments on the title "All The Constellations." I'd like to take credit, but I can't. That's actually a line from the song "Hands On Me by Vanessa Carlton. Here are the lyrics that made me fall in love with this song and make it the "theme song" for this story:
Someday when our stories are told
They'll tell of a love like this
When our descendents are all growing old
1,000 years they'll be singing
Nah-nah, nah-nah, nah, nah, nah
We'll climb Tibetan mountains
Where we can barely breathe
I'll see the Dali Llama
I'll feel him blessing me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
If you've never heard this song, it is total love. I think they used it for previews for Gossip Girl, actually. Anyways, hope you enjoyed :D
