It's half seven on a Friday evening; Pepper's begged off further socializing with her fellow interns (mostly older than she is, but naturally Pepper is precocious in her own ways -- have to be, to keep up with Tony) after the early dinner she didn't really mind being talked into. She has errands to run! Laundry to pick up (Tony's), a few things to ( Read more... )

The house was smaller than the one in Boise, Idaho. A lot smaller. Elliot stood in the driveway, with Saint's leash in his loose grasp, looking up at the single story wonder.

Just before lunch, there is the walking of a Lana down the hallway. Her mission: to get to the girl's bathroom. Her stasis: sleeves rolled up past her elbows and arms covered in purple, blue and black paint. There may even be a tiny smudge or two on her face, not that she'd be too bothered if anyone pointed it out. This is someone who never got ( Read more... )

Booster, having somehow managed to scrape through both a haunted house and the fearsome gauntlet of consequences to breaking his curfew horrendously, is back in school and carrying on as though nothing had happened!
