Who: Jack and Bunny
Where: Bunny's house
When: Morning

Jack had been feeling unbelievably strange for days now, a sinking feeling of uneasiness he couldn't quite place but that wouldn't leave him alone. It turned his stomach and made it hard to concentrate on anything, and the worst part was, it got stronger with each day. He wasn't quite able to pinpoint when exactly he had realized this was one of those feelings he got, but the point was that today, right now, as he was lying in bed shortly after waking up, it was stronger than ever. Jack had no idea how this worked or even what this was, but he knew that he had felt like this before and what had happened next had been a humongous tragedy he felt guilty about.

The more clarity he gained, the strongly Jack felt that whatever horrible tragedy was about to happen would happen to him. That wasn't too bad, he was used to unbelievable amounts of shit happening to him, it was a matter of taking it in stride and hope for a quick death. The kicker was that once he let that bit go he knew, just knew, that it was going to happen to Bunny too. And that he couldn't just let go.

Jack jumped off the bed as fast as he could, running up the stairs into the main floor. Then he ran all the way up to Bunny's room, and there he pounded on the door urgently. "Bunny! Bunny open up! I gotta talk to you!"

Who: Rico and Charlotte
When: Right before the shit hits the fan
Where: Homecoming

When they called her name, Charlotte entertained the idea of running in the opposite direction - for all of about ten seconds, until she felt a sharp push at her back. She never looked to see if it was Helena or Lily, figuring it was about 50/50 either way or perhaps even both of them. She just took a deep breath and headed towards the stage. She got her crown and sash, all the while feeling like this had to be happening to someone else. A year ago she didn't have a single friend here. Then she met Lily. And Ransom. For a long time, that had been it. Yes, she started that club last May, but how did that put her at homecoming queen status?

They were expected to dance, and Charlotte felt a little bit like throwing up at the idea. Her face was a million shades of red. Charlotte Angel was not the sort of person who liked being the center of attention. She wondered if Rico being here with Lily made that better or worse. Better, probably. Okay. She could do this. She put on a shakey smile and allowed herself to be ushered down to the dancefloor by one of the members of the court.
