Who: Megan and Doreen When: Backdated to Thursday (June 24) Where: The girls' room What: Gorging on ice cream
Doreen hadn't been able to talk herself into going to town just yet. She'd gone out once with a staff member when she first arrived for some clothes, but the weird looks she got there were just the same as the ones she got at home, so she hadn't ventured out since. Granted, she got weird looks even at the school for "special kids," so she didn't know what she was expecting, really. But Megan never looked at her like that! So she was excited to spend some extra quality time with her amazing roommate. She'd talked Mister Cassidy into buying some ice cream for her when he went out, and brought a plastic shopping bag full of goodies into their room. She had bowls in the bag, spoons, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, nut toppings, and three flavors of ice cream: peanut brittle (with peanut brittle pieces!), pistachio, and pralines and cream. It was time for some good eating!
The squirrely girl had never done anything quite like this before. She rarely got very upset because her bubbly optimism kept her happy, but her extreme emotions weren't contained to just happiness. She felt everything very acutely and expressed it without a second thought, even though she felt as if she oughtn't drag people down with her feeling upset. Watching Kitty and Kurt, though (and never noticing the awkwardness), made it tough to keep her good feelings up around everyone else. She still wasn't sure she could talk to Megan about it, but gorging on ice cream helped girls in all her comics and TV shows, right?? She hoped to talk to Tippy Toe about it, too. But first, ice cream!
"MEGAN~!" she announced as she hurried into the room. "I got the ice cream and the yummies and we're going to have a good night!"
