"See? She likes it!" He turned to face the camera, bending over to look. "Who is this now?"

"I can't believe you're doing this..."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:29 pm

"Aren't you gonna introduce me, Brigid?" She raised an eyebrow.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:32 pm

"Okay... Matt, this is Theresa. Theresa, the half-naked dork standing here is my brother Matt."

"Hey, I'm not the one who's overdressed here." He flashed a grin. "Nice to meet you, Theresa."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:34 pm

"Nice to meet you, Matt. How's the weather? Breezy?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:41 pm

"It's the most glorious day imaginable out there. Warm, sunny, just perfect, and Four-Eyes here wants to sit in front of the computer. Why are you even wearing those, anyway?"

"Shut up..." she muttered.

"Oh come on, don't be like that. Don't you want to ride Mister Stampy?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:45 pm

"Who's Mr. Stampy?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:47 pm

"He's... my... pet."

"She named him when she was little, and it stuck."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:52 pm

"I like the name. It's cute. You'll have to let me ride him sometime."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:54 pm

"It's... a pretty long trip to get here," she mumbled.

"C'mon, he missed you!"

"Okay, okay, just... give me a few, alright?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:56 pm

"I'd get to hang out with you on your home turf. I'd make the trip."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:04 pm

"Home turf's kind of... weird."

"I'll meet you outside, squirt. Don't take too long, huh? And maybe don't act like you're ashamed of us around your friends?"

"Right. Sorry, Matt..."

She stewed until he'd walked out, then growled and punched a nearby pillow.

"God, I can't believe him!"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:08 pm

"He's kind of cute. Not really my type, but kind of cute." She grinned, "Wait, what am I sayin'? Damn him for comin' into your room."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:09 pm

"You're... why aren't you freaking out about how he was dressed?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:12 pm

"Girl, I realize he's your brother, so you don't think this way, but 'cute boy in a loin cloth'! Easy on the eyes... however you want to say it."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:14 pm

"...but who even wears loin cloths? I mean, seriously."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:15 pm

"Your family apparently."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:18 pm

"Yeah there's... there's that," she said with a bit of nervousness in her voice, running her fingers through her hair.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:19 pm

"Don't sweat it, Brigid. Seriously. I think it's kind of cool. Though now I'm really curious about where you live."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:22 pm

"Guess I've gotta spill, huh?"

"I live in Antarctica. You ever heard of the Savage Land?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:26 pm

"Can't say that I have."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:27 pm

"Okay, well... here's the important bits. Tropical jungle, surrounded by volcanoes."

"And... er... Mister Stampy is a triceratops."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:31 pm

"And you're not pulling my leg on this?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:39 pm

"I kind of wish I was. I mean, how do you even bring this up?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:40 pm

"Kind of like this I guess. So if I come to visit, do I get to wear fur?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:42 pm

"Er, I guess you could if you want? I'm.. well, really sick of it."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:43 pm

"Well, I wouldn't want to look too much like a tourist," she said with a chuckle.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:52 pm

"Guess you know why I wanted to go shopping with you now, huh?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:55 pm

Theresa suddenly looked sheepish, "Yeah, about that..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:58 pm

"What? Something wrong?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 5:21 pm

"Well, I'm not sure I'll be coming to school this year."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 5:26 pm

To say Brigid's expression was hurt was an understatement.

"But... but... you've got to!"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 5:32 pm

"I know." She actually looked like she was starting to tear up some. "I just don't think I can."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 5:33 pm

"Is it your parents? I mean, we can convince your parents!"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 5:35 pm

"No, hon," she said quietly. "They still don't like it, but they're not gonna get in my way. It's me."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 5:51 pm

"But... why?" She stammered, confusion reigning on her face.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 5:55 pm

"I don't know how to explain it. I just need to do some thinkin'."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 5:56 pm

"Is it... because I bailed on you?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 6:02 pm

"Sorta, but sorta not. I really don't know how to explain it, hon."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 6:06 pm

"This just... sucks! Is there anything I can do to help? Probably not, all the way over here..."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 6:08 pm

"Not that I know of."
