How is it already the eight of December? Do ya realize that Christmas is less than three weeks away? An' Jubee's birthday an' Tabby's is Friday. Jono's is the thirty-first. What is up with all of ya bein' born in December?

I got me an' Jono a tree. It's a lil one an' green an' I thoroughly amused myself by hangin' lil lights all over the room. My boyfriend is gonna kill me. First the pink an' now the lights. I also got mistletoe which seemed ta not be as damagin' ta his broody atmosphere as the twinklin' lights. They're jus' so pretty. I could lay back in bed all day an' watch them twinkle.

My brother is gettin' married! MARRIED! Tabby is gonna be my big sister! I always wanted a big sister an' as much fun as it is ta dress Sammy up in a dress an' high heels (I HAVE PICTURES) a real big sister is infinitely better. Sammy doesn't let me paint his nails. :(

An' I really couldn't ask for a better one than Tabby. She's always acted like a big sister ta me since I've known her.

Now for movie night--oh Happy Feet, how I love ya--an' a pizza date with my boy. I'll be nice an' not make the lights twinkle.

Externals plot part four of five. Part One, Part Two, Part Three


When you watch someone die in the heat of battle it's supposed to happen in slow motion. Everything is supposed to be a blur, the moment dragging out forever in front of you. That's what the movies show but it's not how it is in real life. One moment a person is whole and alive, the next they're not. There is no sudden hero sneaking in to save the day, no time turners, no magic spells. Those miracles belong to Hollywood, not reality.

Was this God's way of balancing the world? Mr. Cassidy got to come back to life but Sammy had to leave? Paige wanted it reversed. Take Mr. Cassidy back. He'd lived his life. Her brother couldn't leave. He hadn't even lived yet. Not really. He deserved to live. He still had to get married and make their mother a grandmother and a million other dreams she knew he had needed to be fulfilled. He couldn't do that if he was dead.

Thursday Morning


Paige woke up at five thirty because of a constant poking in her side. As much as she loved her baby sister it had taken a lot of energy not to smother the little girl who had tried to look innocent as she hopped out of bed. A quick glance showed Jubilee and Tabitha still sound asleep. They looked peaceful. Paige wanted to go back to looking that peaceful.

"Mama's cookin'!" Hannah whispered, her voice still too loud for that early in the morning. "Can ya smell it? Ain't it great?"

Paige wiped the sleep from her eyes and pulled her hair into a messy ponytail. "Uh huh." She needed coffee if she was going to be anywhere near coherent. Her little sister didn't seem to notice and tugged, pulling Paige out of the room.

"We're gonna make pie an' potatoes an' green beans an' sweet potatoes an' salads an' corn an' turkey!" Hannah's voice rose in volume with each word. "But Ma says this turkey ain't got a name an' I'm supposed ta tell ya that. It's just a turkey. Wasn't no one's pet."

Tabs.

Question for ya. An' I'd appreciate if'n ya DIDN'T share it with Sammy. Not that I think ya would.

But...

how do ya let a guy know ya wanna have sex with him?

HE GAVE ME A DRAWER!

ooc: The Tabby in this is ticktabby and she was happily used with permission.

Awesome was not usually a word found in Paige Guthrie’s vocabulary. She heard it plenty from Jubilee and even from Tabitha on occasion now that the older girl was residing at the mansion. It just wasn't one that Paige ever really thought about using. She preferred to use a plethora of other words. At this particular moment, as she peered out of Jono’s room into the barren hallway, she couldn't help but think about how awesome it would be if she could make it back to her bedroom without being spotted.

Usually this wouldn't have been a big deal. She'd been to Jono's room plenty in the last couple of days and hadn't thought twice about leaving it when others were around. Of course none of those times had she been leaving a little before seven in the morning while still in her pajamas. Not that they'd done anything, or well, nothing the two of them hadn't done before when she'd visited him previously.

( Little baby sister's gonna lose her mind )

Popcorn? Check.

Soda? Check.

Old home movies that would completely embarrass her older brother? Check.

Now all that was missing was her partner in crime for this viewing. For a turn of events it was even Jubilee that Paige was waiting on. It was Sam's teammate--former teammate, he wasn't part of X-Force anymore--Tabby, and Paige loved Tabby and not just because she could happily rub it in that she'd saved her life before. Tabby was like the older sister Paige didn't really have; someone she could talk to about boys and clothes and the various other things that she couldn't discuss with her brothers. She couldn't talk with her younger sisters about them either since she was supposed to be their expert on it. In Paige's mind Tabby filled in the older sister role beautifully. Even if the discussions they had usually eneded in Paige turning bright shades of red.

Paige popped the video in and plopped down on the bed, waiting for the older girl to arrive.
