A Whole New World: Part 6
Yay, a new installment! :D I'm sorry if this one is confusing at all; there's more stuff going on all at once (and thus, skipping around) than there usually is. ^^; I had to mess around with the original story I wrote because I wasn't completely satisfied with the way it worked; this way there's more skipping around but the whole thing makes more sense, I think. (Also note how late I posted this... I have no life. xD)
~~~~~~~~~~
*Quentin is writing a letter to his little sister (which he can't actually send to her because he doesn't have her current address)*
"Dear Sis,
I miss you. It’s been a while and I’m still not sure exactly where you are, but as long as you’re safe I guess that’s enough for now. The new place is nice… it’s a lot different, and I wasn’t sure if I would like it or not, but everything turned out okay. As soon as I can, I promise I will come home and find you so you can live here with me instead of in a foster home; I’m sorry it’s taking so long."
"…The people here are pretty friendly, I still don’t know them all that well, but I think you would like them. And I made a friend, too. Her name is Joon and she -"
*Quentin pauses as he tries to figure out a way to describe Joon*
"She’s very nice."
Quentin: *thinking to self* It’s true, she is a little weird… okay, more than a little… but she’s definitely the kindest person I’ve ever met. How does one person manage to be so incredibly nice?
Joon: Quentin! There you are! Hurry up slugbutt, if you don’t get your daily allowance of fun you might turn into a grumpypants!
Quentin: *still thinking* …Not to mention hyperactive. o_O
*Quentin hurriedly finishes his letter*
"I’ve got to go, sis, see you soon!
Love, Quentin"
*He places the letter in a box full of other letters*
Joon: What was that? :o
Quentin: Um, nothing. ^^; Let’s go, uh, play some games then.
*Zulia, Pirouette and Leona are able to see Quentin and Joon from a distance*
Zulia: I’m glad Quentin seems to be cheering up a bit; it’s good that he finally has someone to talk to. How nice, they’re playing with Teh again. ^_^
Meanwhile...
Joon: Heehee, I told ya you’d learn to like Teh Dino! :D
Quentin: It’s… on… my… head… O_O
Joon: That’s the point! Pygmy dinosaurs make the best hats, doncha know? ^^
Quentin: O_O I’m scared.
Joon: Stop being silly! You need to calm down. -_-
*Quentin notices their hands are touching and becomes uncomfortable*
Quentin: Uh, Joon?
Joon: Ooh, lookit, a dust bunny! - Oh, what?
Quentin: *sees she is clueless* Um, never mind.
Back at the ranch... :P
Pirouette: So... Quentin’s kinda cute… think he’d go out with me?
Leona: Is that ALL you think about?!
Pirouette: *shrug* I was just saying… He’s the first guy we’ve had around here and you weren’t thinking that?
Zulia: I don’t think he’s ready for any of that. …He still has a lot of problems to deal with, after all. I doubt he’s really looking for a girlfriend.
Pirouette: Yeah, I got that impression. He hasn’t shown much interest in us anyway… you think he might be gay?
Leona: Somehow, I don’t think so.
