(Mrs. Adams returns to her own car, bids them goodbye, and heads back to her house. She's got essays to grade.)

Bella drives, silent unless addressed, back to the Sanders house.

No one in the car is feeling talkative.

When they arrive, Vernon is waiting and immediately hugs his kids.

"Everything all right?"
Permalink

"Mostly," agrees Darren.

Permalink

Savannah nods. "Yeah. Bit scratched up, and I need like a pint of ice cream, but I'll live."

Permalink

"I can stay or go, whichever."

Permalink

"Eh, stay, Darren needs cuddles and that is an auxiliary use of a girlfriend," snorts Savannah.

Permalink
"Okay."

Bella serves her auxiliary purpose. Snugfully.

Snuggle, snuggle.

Actually they can go snuggle on the couch, that is better than snuggling standing up. Couch-move, then snuggles.

Savannah, not being the snuggling type, retrieves an entire carton of ice cream from the freezer, plops onto a nearby couch, and then starts working her way through it. Nom. Nom nom. The best part about horrific trauma is the license to eat lots of ice cream after.

It certainly compares favorably to pretty much all other components of horrific trauma.

Snuggle snuggle.

"Should we have, like, actual passwords?"
Permalink

"I vote Darren's is snugglebunny."

Permalink

"He is not a bunny."

Permalink

"Pssssh, details."

Permalink

Darren snorts. "What do you get, then? Ice cream tree frog?"

Permalink

"I'm claiming my own long random password before somebody invents one for me. Uuuum. Euphrates potato Poughkeepsie."

Permalink

Giggle. "There is no way I'm remembering that."

Permalink

"This is a substantial disadvantage to the passwords, I guess, we'd all have to memorize them. I suppose we can continue going with quizzing each other about events from our shared history."

Permalink

"Sure, that works all right. Passwords as a backup, though?"

Permalink

"Euphrates potato Poughkeepsie." Snuggle.

Permalink

He giggles, then snuggles her back. "I am also not going with snugglebunny, Bella, you get to pick because I can't think of anything."

Permalink

"Chocolate raindrop spider."

Permalink

"Okay. I'll memorize that and that will be my password."

Permalink

"Meh. I'll go with ice cream tree frog, it's already embedded into my head because it was pretty funny."

Permalink

"That's why the charmingly random words. Conveniently, each password is also consistent in its poetic feet."
