World Refugees Final Mix

What: Searching for Whatever Maleficent's People Are Up To
Who: Mabry, Medrau, Others
When: May 6, 2011
Where: Earth, Oregon, Gummi-Ship, Wherever the Trail Takes Us

Mabry hesitantly landed the borrowed gummi-ship at the agreed upon coordinates. She was still only an indifferent pilot, but necessity had forced her to it. She felt lonely. She had left Ashlyn at home, and while it wasn't the first time, it wasn't yet something that seemed routine. Just last week, they had celebrated Ashlyn's second birthday with cake, ice cream, presents, and her first pair of "big girl panties." Leaving her just now was especially difficult. And then there was Songbird. Mabry had just as strong an inclination to go to Twilight Town to be there for her younger sister.

But this had to come first. There was no avoiding it. So she flashed the gummi-ship's lights and settled herself to wait for Medrau.

Where: Kitchen at Rainbow's end
When: Friday night
Who: Mabry and Robin
What: sisterly chat


Mabry closed the laptop with a snap and pushed it out of the way. She smiled and shook her head, as she levered herself out of the chair at the breakfast table and waddled to the sink to fill the kettle. She wondered how many times the two of them had done this, since Songbird had first regained her heart. It seemed like it had happened pretty frequently.

Poor kid, she thought as she set the kettle on top of the stove. Things just never seemed to be easy for Robin. But then maybe that was how Robin needed for things to be. Mabry certainly never made things easy on herself, so why should her sister by choice do any differently.

All the tea things were already out. They were used often enough that they were kept on a particular corner of the counter. All Mabry had to do was select a pair of tea bags--Earl Grey for Robin and Ginger-Chamomile for herself. then she sat back down to wait for her sister to come downstairs and the kettle to start whistling.
