Accidental Video 010

[usskickass]

[A small, slightly stocky child in a dress sits against a wall in one of the hallways. It's clear she doesn't know she's being recorded. Soft, pitiful sniffles can be heard. If her damp face is any indication, she's been crying for a while.

For how upset she is, she's being awfully quiet about it.

The girl rubs her nose on the collar of her dress and scuffs her shoes on the floor.]

[Action forever~]

[Dave is pretty much going around to find as many hide-and-seek players as he can, but he stops when he sees Shannon. Bro always taught him to help girls people in need, so he's going to do just that.]

Coach? [Shit, what was her first name? He doesn't remember her telling him that.]

[action forever]

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[She looks up and, after a moments confusion, recognizes him. He hasn't deaged as much as she as, after all.]

Shannon...

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

Shannon. Are you okay?

[He tilts his head.]

Do you need a hug?

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes widen slightly. Part of her realizes that this is probably weird, since normally she isn't so little and all, but...

But she really really wants a hug, and a cute boy just offered, and...]

Yes.

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

[The child gives her a gentle hug. Hugs cure everything, just like what ice cream did, after all.]

Did you have a really bad dream, too?

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[She nods, putting her arms around him too. It has to be a fair hug, after all.]

I guess everybody did.

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it looks like everybody's alright, so maybe it was just a really bad dream?

[He won't let go until she does, unless they're at a stalemate.]

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[Nodnod.]

'sweird everybody had it, though.

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

Yeah...maybe we ate somethin' bad last night and we got a nightmare from it?

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

Maybe...

[She pulls away, looking at him.]

You were already little.

[Just statin' facts.]

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

[Dave pulls away as well, and pouts.]

Nu-uh, I was a teenager, and now I'm about half that age.

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

Teenagers are still little, though. Or they were or...somethin'.

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

[Now he's somewhat confused.]

Well, I guess it doesn't matter much now? 'Cause we can have a lot more fun now!

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, so is she.]

Yeah, that's true.

D'you wanna play?

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

Sure! What do you wanna play?

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

I dunno...

Do you like any sports?

[Shannon likes sports. :>]

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

I haven't tried playin' any before.

[He's willing to try playing them, at least.]

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

Really?

[Stare. What is wrong with you, Strider?]

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

Really! I played things like four square and tether ball, and sometimes I did some kickball!

[Absolutely nothing is wrong with this.]

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

Those are fun! But...have you ever played football?

[Football is her favorite.]

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

No, but I've seen some in my grade play it durin' recess!

[Doot doot sports newb coming through.]

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[What.

She takes his hand suddenly and starts leading him off to the nearest room with a closet.]

We're playin' football.

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

[He lets her lead him wherever she wants to.]

Okay! How do you play?

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[She thinks for a moment.]

Well, with just two people I guess it's more like catch. But we can tackle each other and stuff too, right?

[Right? You know how football works, right?]

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we can do that!

[Some...what?]
