fandomhighdorms | Platypus campfire, very late Monday night

Coming back from Caritas, Annette's cell rang before she could make it to the cabin. Sighing at seeing who it was, she wandered over to the campfire and sat down in a lounge chair. Slipping off her sandals, she drew her knees to her chest and pressed her bare heels against the edge of the seat.

"Hi mom."

"Why haven't you called lately?"

Annette was still feeling the effects of her drinks at Caritas and was not in the mood to be drilled.

"What? I called yesterday."

"..."

She rubbed her temple.

"Annette, are you lying to me? I was home all day yesterday, young lady."

"Mom, that hurts."

"Hrmph. I think that school is teaching you bad manners." Annette listened as her mother clinked ice cubes into a glass.

"Mom are you drunk?"

Gasp! "Annette Hargrove, how dare you-"

Click.

"Annette? It's your father. Your mother does not drink, how could you even suggest it?"

"Guess what, dad? I'm living in a cabin with seven other people."

"The hell?"

"Yeah and it's co-ed and everything. And we have a campfire and I met a big talking turtle the other day."

"..."

Hee hee hee.

"Annette? Are you doing drugs?"

"Daddy how many times are you going to ask me that?"

"Until you tell me the truth."

"I am not a LIAR!"

"Don't you dare raise your-"

Click.

"Annette, sweetheart, calm down darling. Do you need to see a doctor? A special kind of doctor?" her mother asked.

"..."

"Really Annette under the circumstances-"

"I'm sleeping with my boyfriend."

"..."

Click.

"Annette? It's your father. What the in the sam hell did you say to your mother? She just dropped to the floor like a ten pound bag of potatoes."

"Daddy? I think you should check what she is putting in her drinks. K? Love you, bye!"

Sighing, she closed her cell and dropped it to the ground and just stared at the fire. "Man, what a day."

(it's late Monday night, but open if you like.)

Tori happened to be walking back to her cabin, when she saw Annette sitting around the campfire.

"Hey." She smiled and waved.

She looked over and smiled, "Oh, hey, Tori." Then she said dumbly. "It's late."

"Yeah, it is." Tori grinned. "What are you doing up?"

"I dunno, just coming back from town and was headed to bed when my mom called. I sat down to talk to her and have been too lazy to move."

She smiled then remembered Tori had a date today with Luke. "Omigod, Tori, tell me how it went!"

(Heroes has too many commercials I swear!)

Tori chuckled. "Oh yeah, I get that." She nodded, smiling brightly.

And that caused Tori to blush. "I was wondering when you were going to ask." She laughed. "It was great. I had a lot of fun. We just talked but it was really nice."

[That it does, but it was soooooo good!]

Annette leaned forward, "And? What did you talk about? I know it couldn't be about the weather ~~is wicked evil~~," she teased. "Are you going out again? Did he ask? Did he hold your hand? Or kiss you? And do you like him like him?" Yes, that would be Annette totally bugging Tori half to death.

Tori laughed. "We talked about a lot of things. I think we were both nervous, well, I know I was. We started off talking about the weather ~~is TOTALLY wicked evil~~, which led to surfing and then workshops. Sadly we're not taking any together." Yeah, she was bummed about that, if Annette couldn't tell.

She blushed, a little overwhelmed by all of Annette's questions. She really wasn't sure how to answer a couple of them ~~since the thread is still going~~. "I hope we go out again." Tori blushed brighter. "Yeah, I do like like him." She couldn't help but grin sheepishly at that.

"Aww, well, after workshops you two can get together and do all sorts of stuff," she smiled, noting Tori's bummed state. "Did you two blush over the weather?" She giggled, trying to brighten Tori's mood.

And her blushing! Omigod, just too cute! Tori is so pretty and the blushing just made Annette want to squeeze her. In a totally platonic way of course.

"YAY!"

Tori nodded, smiling at the thought of that. "Yeah, it'll be okay." She laughed and shook her head. "No." She stuck her tongue out at Annette, in jest.

Tori grinned brightly and blushed at Annette's delight. "I'm glad you approve." She laughed. At this moment, Tori was totally being a girly girl, but it was appropriate.

Annette giggled. She thought the weather comment funny. And Tori sticking her tongue out at her. "Okay, no blushing over the weather." But Annette could totally see Tori and Luke blushing at each other.

"Luke is a good guy, and you are super sweet." Wait. Wasn't Annette supposed to be like one of those protective sort of friends.

"He totally treated you good, right? Pay for your coffee and stuff?"

And she'd be right in guessing that Tori and Luke would blush at each other.

"He is." Tori nodded in agreement. Yes, yes she was. "Yes, he did. Not to worry." She grinned, glad to see Annette looking out for her.

"Totally the gentleman, eh? I might have to rib him in the morning and bug him. Or totally play a prank on him!" Heeee!

"Yes." Tori nodded, laughing a bit. "Oh, give him the third degree too?" She winked. "Pranks are always fun."

"It means being super sneaky since there are seven other people in there," Annette seemed to think quietly for a moment, grinning to herself. Then she said, "I'm seriously glad you are happy, Tori."

"Super sneaky, right." Tori grinned. "At least you only have seven others, there's fifteen in my cabin." She chuckled. "Talk about no privacy."

Tori smiled brightly. "Thanks Annette." She really meant it and was glad her friend supported her.
