Valentine's Day Part One

I am so bloody upset right now.
Wanna hear how my Valentine's Day went?

We all gathered in the lounge. The decorations were amazing. The hot chocolate bar was a big hit, as were all the strawberry heart shaped tarts I made. So we'd all settled down and were watching TV.
All the girls wrapped in fuzzy blankets and got in a pile like kittens. The boys came in as we were finishing Miss Congeniality. They sat on the couch and the floor,(though they didn't all pile together) and actually watch North and South with us.
Obviously, not ALL the boys came.
Some had dates today and some were on a hike in the woods.

We had just started Revenge of the Bridesmaids when a just about everyone fell asleep. Not the cute doze off sort of thing.

The drugged sort of sleep.

Then men dressed in tactical gear walked into the room.

It was only me and Patty. She back up and stood back to back with me. The girls around me were sluggishly moving, They saw the threat but could do nothing about it.

I don't think anyone had their weapons. Patty is the dart expert, but all she had were here aluminum knitting needles. And we both knew, from past experience, you need solid needles to fight. The aluminum ones just bend.

"Hot chocolate bar?" she asked
"Right"

And we began warily walking towards it, keeping an eye on the strangers who were slowly fanning out.

Patty grabbed a handful of skewers from the platter. I picked up a knife that I had brought to cut fruit.

A man moved slowly away from the little group. When he deemed himself close enough, he lunged. Patty and I grabbed the pot of hot chocolate and threw it as one. He went down under a wave of partially warm hot chocolate and a heavy pan. As he lay stunned, Patty darted forward and stabbed him rapidly in the back. She is a master of acupuncture and pressure points as well as dart throwing. The man lay there, temporarily paralyzed. And unless they had someone who knew which point counteracted it,,,it was going to be out for awhile.

Another man walked forward. He jerked his head toward a buddy and they advanced together. I flung myself onto one, flipping him to the ground. Patty held off the other until I was ready. Then she turned, quickly poking him in the back. It seemed to work through the vests, which was good.

As soon as she had turned, I jumped on the man she had been holding off. I swung around onto his back and choked him out. He fell to the floor.

Then they all began advancing at once. Patty and I stood back to back and tried to hold them off. We were doing pretty well, but I could feel myself wearing down. I saw out of the corner of my eye one of the men raising a gun and pointing it at Patty. I tried to scream a warning but it was lost in my throat.
She was hit with a little dart and went down. I had a second to think

"Thank God it's a tranq. dart." as I went down, kicking and screaming under the attack of all the remaining people.

I felt my kicks getting weaker and the tips of my finger went numb. Then the world faded into black.

Let It Go

I was in the library in my favorite window seat with a fuzzy blanket.

You'd think I'd be happy.

I'm not

But I'm pretty good at hiding it.

Everyone was gone. The Mansion empty.

Everyone was given a free pass to town, and the students were out in force. The girls hadn't been out in weeks. All the boy-girl couples were out doing stuff.

I could afford to cry.

But as soon as I started, Alec came around the corner with two cups of tea.

He handed one to me.

"What's wrong?"
I didn't answer so he said  "Come on. Either tell me what's wrong, or stop moping."

I faked smiled.

"Nope" He said and he grabbed my free hand and pulled me up. "No fake smiling"

"How can you tell?" I asked as he pulled me across the room. If he told me I could change that...

He smirked. "Not telling" He led me to the couch and told me to sit down. So I did.

"We're watching a movie" He told me. "What do you want to watch?"

"Frozen." I said, wanting him to argue. To get bored as soon as it started and leave. Instead he said "I've never seen it. Should be interesting." and sat down next to me.

So we watched Frozen. It was really funny to watch his face. Seriously, I don't need to watch the movie. I've seen it a million time.

How he smiled when Anna and Elsa were playing.
How sad he looked when Elsa hurt Anna. When Anna was by herself.
How he looked at me in concern when Elsa was trapped in her room, alone,
How he laughed at Olaf
How he wanted to kill Hans....

Yes. In fact he muttered some not very nice things under his breath. Grandma Beatrice would have washed his mouth out with soap.

A lot of soap.

But Grandma didn't know Portuguese, so....

It made me smile. For real. I laughed and he turned an gave me that half smile (Do guys know how sexy that is? Well, it looked even better on him) and said "Mission Accomplished"

We ended up watching a lot of Disney movies: Tangled, Brave, Atlantis, Mulan....

Fandom Friday: Ella and Kit

So, Fandom Friday: *Spoilers*


You know the new Live Action Cinderella movie that Disney came out with?

How at the end, Kit and Ella are together, Evil Stepmum and sisters are banished, sooooo

What happens to the house?

Here's what I think:

It's pretty close to the castle, right? It's a small kingdom, anyway, soooo


When Kit and Ella get tried of the exhausting live in the castle, always working, dealing with annoying royalty,  etc they go stay at the house.

Just quiet time. (unless they have kids....)

Ella can be with the animals, running around, helping the servants, who live there and keep the house nice.

Kit and Ella go riding in the woods, the attic is changed into this awesome room with comfy couches and such





And they lived happily ever after!

Spy Movie Marathon and Hot Chocolate

So this afternoon, everyone was planning to go hike along the trails because everyone was going crazy from being inside. Jess and Lily invited me, but I shook my head. Right now i just needed to be alone. I nodded for them to go ahead. Just about everyone was going, even the Research and Development girls who LIVE in the library and labs.

Even Liz.

I sat in the common room with a fuzzy blanket looking out the windows thinking. Then Alec walked in with two mugs of hot chocolate.

You could have gone with them" He said

"I wanted to be alone" I said "What's your excuse"

"I didn't want you to be alone"

I might have said something snotty, but he handed me hot chocolate.

Uh Oh!

He found my weakness! Chocolate! I sipped it. It made me feel a lot better

"Wow. Why are you so bloody protective?" I muttered "It's not like your my boyfriend."

"Wouldn't that be a tragedy?" He asked sarcastically

I looked up, but he was facing away, looking at the Gallagher movie collection. Most of them were donated by a Gallagher Alumni named Tina Walters.

"Never seen this one before" He said holding up one of my favorites The Man From U.N.C.L.E

"You've never seen it?" I gasped. I stood up and walked past him to the couch, snatching it out of his hand as I walked "Come on!" I called. "This calls for popcorn!"



It turned into a movie marathon.



The third batch of popcorn was popping when everyone flooded back in.

"That was quick" I called.

"To muddy. Plus it started to rain." Lily said and plopped down beside me. "What's ya watchin' "

"Spy movies. Alec had never seen the Man from UNCLE!"

*Collective gasp from all the Sophomore girls present*






Then started to rain like crazy outside, so we all stayed huddled inside, in blankets.

So much for going outside.
