Room 324, Early Saturday Afternoon

The first day of Parents’ Weekend had gone pretty well, and the second seemed to have had a good start too.

After escorting her mother to Mitchell’s office, Kate had met up with her brother to come hang out in her room.

”So, what were you doing when I was with Mom?” she asked, sitting down on the edge of her bed.

"Gee, I wonder why? Could it be because I am?"

"I'm glad you are," he said, bumping his shoulder against hers.
vanillajello: (Smiling sideways.)

"It's nice to be happy," she grinned.

No point in mentioning the times she'd been ridiculously unhappy in Fandom.

"Yeah, I can imagine."

Not that Marshall was unhappy, but well... Kate knew what life was like in the Gregson family.
vanillajello: (Sitting and looking to the left.)

Kate gave him an understanding look. "So, how's it been since I've been gone?"

[identity profile] thegregsons.livejournal.com 2009-10-03 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mostly okay," he said. "Mom's been bending over backwards to be nice to me. I keep catching Dad watching me when he thinks I'm not paying attention. I think he's worried I'm gonna develop multiple personalities like Mom."
vanillajello: (What the hell are you saying?)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2009-10-03 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That... was a common worry in this family, wasn't it? Kate tried not to twitch at memories of what got her confiding in Mitchell in the first place.

"Damn. Well, at least you're benefitting from the whole Mom thing."

[identity profile] thegregsons.livejournal.com 2009-10-03 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"I guess. It's kind of annoying though, you know?"
vanillajello: (Calm and looking at you.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2009-10-03 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeeah, I guess I can understand that." She pouted thoughtfully before adding, "Sorry for ditching you with the crazy."

[identity profile] thegregsons.livejournal.com 2009-10-03 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's okay," Marshall said. "Coming to visit you has had its perks."
vanillajello: (Talking to Ben.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2009-10-03 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I'm glad there's something good in this ordeal," she replied. "You wouldn't believe how stressed out I've been."

"I can imagine," he said. "Hopefully mom will stay herself this weekend."
vanillajello: (Sitting and alert.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2009-10-03 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. Hopefully."

Tara had stayed herself all through Friday. Maybe she could pull it off through the whole weekend?

...Kate knew she was being way too optimistic.

"I don't want to be explaining that to too many people."

"I'd say it's less weird than being from another planet," Marshall pointed out.
vanillajello: (Talking to Ben.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2009-10-03 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but still, I don't know... Although, here you could probably tell people it's a gremlin bite." Hey, that actually made her feel better about it. There was a Fandom excuse for acting different!

"Leto is from another planet, by the way. And the future."

"... I knew those eyes were too good to be true."
vanillajello: (Smiling and looking down.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2009-10-03 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Kate chuckled. "But they're real. His sister's eyes are the same."

[identity profile] thegregsons.livejournal.com 2009-10-03 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"But they're out of this world."

Yes, he was aware how cheesy that sounded.
vanillajello: (All amused at you.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2009-10-03 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Believe me, I know. That's because they're from another planet. In the future."

[identity profile] thegregsons.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
"I almost wonder if I should be worried about your sanity," Marshall joked.
vanillajello: (Smiling and happy!)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2009-10-04 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
"I know I am," she replied cheerfully.

[identity profile] thegregsons.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Marshall laughed. "It's... been a long time since we left Mom," he realized.



[psst. why are you still awake?]
vanillajello: (Being sisterly.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2009-10-04 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
"You're right... We should probably call her."

[:D I just went and brushed my teeth after my last ping. And now I'm going to bed.]

[identity profile] thegregsons.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, probably," he agreed.
