The Parlor (1)

*bites nails*
Oh god.
And right before Christmas?

(K: PSH. No problemo. )

*comes back in house*
I don't know where fionda went.

*sees Daniella*
*gives faint smile*

*curls up*
*thinks*
I wish Donato was here.

*nods at Monica shakily*
*goes to Jumpy's office*

*slowly walks down the stairs and into parlor*
*sits down in a chair*
*thinks*
Why is this happening now??
Why?
I've been left...
I... I can't. I can't deal with this now.

My nightmares are coming true.
*sobs*

*comes back to parlor*
*thinks*
Passport's missing.
Left all unnecessary ID..

RIZZO!
I wasn't hired to get drunk, and Jumpy didn't hire you to cry.

*stares in shock at Daniella*
I think that's the first time you've yelled at me...
And you're right.

I'm sorry...

It's time we do something.
*thinks*
But what, exactly, are we supposed to do??

Daniella do you want me to do anything?

I don't want to sit still now.
I need to move.

*breathes*
Thank you.

Now, I think everybody should just CALM DOWN and think for a moment, eh?
Did she leave any clue as to where she is?
Or where she's going?

-wanders in, shaken-
No, I don't know.

Wha... what do we do if Jumpy's gone?!

Not that I no of.
She left Angelo a letter.
But I got that from him yelling

She left a note for Angelo, but he has it I believe. It didn't really give any clues though...
She said he could try to find her, but he probably wouldn't be able to.

*sighs and thinks*
She only told me she had to get away.

Angelo left to look for her a while ago.

Hmmm.
Well that's no help.
*paces*
All we can really do is guess and check, but she's done this before and she always comes back.

I say we enjoy our holiday and let it be.
She'll come back when she wants to.

That should be the best.
We will leave her gifts wrapped for her when she gets back.

One question though
Where is Fionda?

No idea.
Same deal.
Let them come back on their own time.
I'm done with this.
*thinks*

Fionda can take care of herself...
She'll be back.

*thinks*
You're right. Jumpy will come back...
I just hope it's soon...

Now, *clears throat* if you'll excuse me, there's fudge that needs eating..
>.>
*goes to kitchen*

(K: My mum's fixing fudge. First thing that came to mind. XD)

*thinking more clearly*
Scorpius has never stayed out this long...
Where could he be...

*stares at floor*
*gets out cell phone*
I've never had to call his number before...
*bites lip*

*dials number*
*waits*

*gets dial tone and computer voice*

*shock*
What?!?!

*comes up behind Monica*
Merry Christmas.
*kiss on cheek*
*hands wrapped box*
I told you I would be home for Chrismas
I kept my word.
*kiss on cheek again*

Remeber we leave tonight.
For your true gift becasue it is to big to wrap.
I hope the others won't mind

*kisses*
You did.
I was getting worried.

*reads note on box*
Don't open till tonight

Fine I won't open it till tonight
You can't open yours either.

*she sits and talks with him*

I think it is time we leave.

*helps Monica to her feet*
I'll leave them a note
So they don't worry.

Go get in the car, I'll be right there.

*finds pen and paper*
Rizzo, Daniella

I am taking Monica to our old house. It would mean nothing to you all but it was where we first began. And I rebuilt the place for us. So we will be gone for a while. I don't know when we will be back but it will be some time after the new year. Sorry to leave at such a bad time. But please don't worry about us, okay. Both of your presents are under the tree. If you need us call our cell phones.

With love,
Adden, Monica

*leaves*

*walks down the stairs*
*sees Adden's note*
*reads it tiredly*
And more of them disappear...
But at least they left a note.

*sits down in a chair, thinking*

*walks in in a daze*
*mud on feet*
*goes upstairs to take a shower*
Hello Everyone
sorry i left...
expecially without a note
*bites lip*

Eh.
*waves offhandedly*
We're done having freak-outs.
Happy Christmas, at least.

*comes out of daze*
*looks up at Fionda*
Hey, hunn!!
Aw, no worries.
*weak smile*
We knew you would come back on your own. You just needed time.
I'm glad to see your safe.

*eyes widen*
Oh, that's right!

Happy Christmas!!

*jumps slightly as phone rings in pocket, startled*
*confused, takes it out and answers*
Yes?
*listens*
*eyes widen*
*breathes* Jumpy!
