New Cruise House

"Funny how we were just talking about it! You know what- I'm going to forget arguing with Serenity. I just don't have the energy. I want us all to have a good time together."

"The heck are we supposed to get a fancy costume at short notice. Seriously."

"Believe it or not, my mom has a costume box. From when she was our age. So, it's certain to fit us, since she was small like me when she was my age. It might not match the theme all-too-much, but it'll do, I'm sure."

[And Liv, if you don't want one of those, Sere has gowns.]

"Well, that's lucky."

"...It is."

And so they went up the stairs into the attic, and stopped in front of a large chest-thing. Kelsi opened it, and took out all the outfits:

[[I felt like doing that.]]

Kelsi picked up the white dress (fourth one), and the white butterfly-shaped mask. "I'll take these."

"Err, you pick first." Olivia was rubbing her shoulder.

"...Picked."

"... M'kay. Ditto."

"Can I see?"

[i post slow. sorry. XD]

Olivia took the long black one (fifth. with straps like you said.) and the black and red mask.

[[It's okay. C:]]


"Alright. Now... screw the hair, right?"

"... What? GOD, MY SHOULDER HURTS."

"...Don't know what to say... Let's just go, okay? Maybe it'll get better." Lies.

"Geez, I hope... Hey, I just remembered something... Where do you keep the floo powder?"

"In the washrooms."

Kelsi made her way back into the entrance, and took out a handful of floo-powder. "Obviously by the fireplace, Liv. Hey, let's go!!"

"Hang on, I have an awesome Deus Ex Machina that will get me home real quick." Olivia took a handful of floo powder as well and threw it into the fire. "Soeri Cottage!" She stepped in. WHOOSH.

Kelsi shrugged. "Bye, I guess." Kelsi yelled in Serenity's home, and stepped in.

Fry was in his room, because it was night now, and by now Holly and him would have been home, and he was with Eric. They'd somehow gotten his stuff to Fry's house, and now they were talking and laughing and stuff. Of course, he had told Eric about his success.

Andrea then walked in. She was wearing her blouse-like pajamas and stared at Eric for a long moment. "...Fry, he can't sleep in my bed."

"Why?!"

"...Just... I..."

"Andrea, can you make it easy and go on the couch, or in the guest bedroom?"

"I could do that!" Eric pitched in.

"Shut up, Eric."

"Okay..."

"Andrea, seriously, stop being a nag."

"But- Fry- the bedsheets-" She looked really embarrassed, and kept wringing her wrists.

"WHAT ABOUT THE FREAKING BEDSHEETS?!"

"STOP YELLING! Ijustdon'twanthimsleepinginmybed..."

"...Andrea, you're making no sense. Seriously."

"WELL, IT'S NOT MY FAULT I HAVE MY PERIOD!"

"Eric, you're sleeping in the guest bedroom."

"Okay!"

Kelsi was back home, raging in her room, kicking the wall angrily. "IT'S NOT FAIR! I SHOULDN'T BE GROUNDED!" she screamed at the door.

"SHUT UP AND GO TO SLEEP! IF IT WEREN'T FOR ROBIN, I'D HAVE CALLED THE COPS!" screamed her mom from downstairs.

"MOM, I HATE YOU!" Kelsi sat on her bed and bit her lips and dug her nails into her palms to keep herself from screaming out and throwing stuff.

[Why is she grounded? o.o]

[[She left the house without asking her mom, and her friend left without her mom being able to say anything, and she ruined one of her mom's favorite costume dresses.]]

Kelsi kicked off her shoes and threw them across the room as hard as possible. Then she started crying. For the hell that You-Know-Who was causing, for Ally who is loosing her business, for Amanda who keeps getting yelled at by Serenity, because she was grounded, and especially for Serenity.


And because of teen angst.

She wiped her eyes and sniffled. Screw what her parents told her. There's no way she can stay away from Serenity now. No way. God. They were so annoying. Can't she have a life of her own?! She's almost a legal adult! They can't tell her this and that, she's sixteen.
"What do I care, anyways? They both ran off a few years ago."

[Oh]
