Outside Pixie Cabin, Friday Afternoon

[chasingangela]

Angela had shipped almost all of her stuff home, but it wasn't time to leave for her flight yet. The last of her luggage was stacked just inside the cabin living room. Outside the cabin, she sat on the ground near the campfire, poking at the ashes with a stick and thinking.

Main thought: Goodbyes sucked. And she had let her friends know she was

"I heard today's your last day," Anakin said quietly.

[chasingangela]

Angela glanced up from the ashes. "Hi, Anakin," she said. "You heard right."

[sith_happened]

"You'll be missed," he told her, stepping closer.

[chasingangela]

Angela stood to offer a hug. "Thanks," she said. "It feels way too son to say goodbye."

"And ... I'll be back, for Homecoming at least. I hope."

"Hey," Parker said, sounding subdued as she came out of the cabin with a small package in her hand. "When does your flight leave?"

[chasingangela]

Angela checked her watch. "Hey, Parker," she said. "I have .. an hour and a half before I need to head out."

Not nearly enough time.

[mparkerceo]

"For you," Parker said, handing over the brightly wrapped package. "Something for the plane, and this summer, when you get bored." She sat down next to Angela and gave her a small smile. "I wish we could have had one more trip into Special Collections."

Angela unwrapped the book. "It looks amazing," she told Parker, touching the cover lightly. "Thank you."

She shook her head. "There were so many lasts I never got around to. I kind of quit wanting to do anything after Marty left."

[OOC: Heading offline for a bit.]

"You're not allowed to go," Rory said resolutely, crossing her arms.

[chasingangela]

"I wish I could stop it" Angela said.

[auroryborealis]

"See, what we'll do is you can come to Yale with me and live in my dorm and be my roommate and study creative writing!"

[chasingangela]

"That would be perfect," Angela said. "Can you make Yale let me in?"

[swerval_zero]

"Noooooo," said Zero.

[chasingangela]

"I know!" Angela flailed. "This came way, way too soon."

[swerval_zero]

"Then don't leave!" Zero suggested. "Stay! It'll be great. You can help me TA Goth 101 or whatever it's called."

[chasingangela]

Angela made a face. "I can't, I promised my dad I'd be ready to start work tomorrow," she said. "And ... its not like it'll be any easier to leave in August."

Cally wandered over by the campfire. "Hey," she said.

[chasingangela]

"Hey back," Angela said with a little smile. "I can't believe this is goodbye. For now." She was making herself remember the last part.

[sogothcally]

"Yeah, me neither," Cally said. "Guess this happens when people grow up and on, you know?"
