Who: Step and Tova
When: Early afternoon
Where: Step's Den
What: Step finally brings Tova over

It was a special day. Step had decided to bring Tova to his little den. He was excited but nervous too. He was anxious in case the other pack members didn’t want her here. But they had friends come over. But then again, they were more important and better than him.

But his den wasn’t that close to the cabins so he figured it would be okay. He hoped. He kind of snuck her through the trees where he lived and then towards his rather unassuming little den.

He opened his make shift door and allowed her through. He scurried in after her and scampered towards his bed jumping on it. He smiled up at her hoping she wasn’t disgusted by his silly little home.

Who: Tova and Step.
When: Noon.
Where: Outside of Nicki’s Delights.
What: A chance meeting turns into a crazy day on the town.



Tova was restlessly sitting outside of Nicki’s Delights nursing a cup of black coffee and enjoying the barely warming sunlight with her fingers twitching against the cup. She was in an oddly good mood, maybe it was just the sunlight or maybe it was because she'd finally been able to go nuts bouncing around in the forest without care again. As nice as it was to just sit there and enjoy everything she just couldn't stay still and with a distracted huff grabbed her cup and started walking off down the street.

There was a sort of bounce to her step, further evidence of her perky mood as she hummed a tune to herself. Stopping by the display windows to gaze into them grinningly, taking time to watch the people she went by and just overall taking the time to enjoy life.

Who: Step and Tova.
When: Around 10pm.
Where: Out by the old Wishing Well.
What: Making new friends.



Tova was actually early, not a too common thing but today had been a good day. She'd manage to catch up on her sleep which in turn had her feeling a lot calmer and together than she had since first returning home again. There was something in the air too, maybe it was the approaching moon that just made her feel at peace.

So with a large cup of coffee Tova had made her way up to the cemetery, pacing the edge of it and not really feeling like approaching the well. God, why had she said she would meet him there? It was stupid, she didn't like this place, never had. Uut still it was the first place to come to mind, much to her current dismay. So, here she was feeling oddly anxious as she waited for Step to show up.

Who: Pack, OTA family and friends of pack
When: 5pm and on
Where: The Pack Cabins
What: The pack gets in touch with their inner party animals.



The sun was starting to set and in the middle of the clearing in front of the first row of cabins was a large bonfire. Jeremy's cabin was open to all. Coolers filled with soda and beer covered the front porch. Inside the table in the kitchen and the counters were covered with food that Harper and a few others had been busy cooking all day. There was just about anything you could think of food wise and plenty of it. Music filled the air out side and chairs had been placed around the fire.

The pack was whole. The pack was healthy. It was time to celebrate, even if it was still the middle of winter.

Who: Red, Tate, Deni, Parker(NPC), Taini, Step and OTA
When: after school
Where: outside of Red’s home
What: Outside karaoke party with hot drinks and cookies!

It was quite a surprise when this impromptu party was arranged. Not least for the neighbours but also for Red. She had just come home from school with the idea and it had stuck. So there was free flowing hot beverages, nice cookies fresh from the oven with just a lil’ glamour sprinkled over them. She had a makeshift stage set up, her Father’s trailer, and cables running in to the garage. So the neighbourhood had been invited and even if they didn’t want to have fun, it was being forced upon them! Tate was building a snowman with Parker in his front garden having being made to by Parker’s giant eyes of doom. He’d called Indy to see if he could make it and Jesse to see if he and Amy could get down.

Deni was sat on the stoop watching the scene munching on her cookie and sipping some hot cocoa and wondering where her husband was. Fun was to be had!

Taini had heard the commotion and was watching Red belting out Mika’s lollypop changing all the words to suit a girl singing the song. She had called Ly hoping he could make it, it looked fun.

Step was hanging back slightly stood watching the commotion. He smiled softly though, his big brand new red scarf wrapped around his neck was keeping him warm, he had also found a big boiler jacket in the woods that someone had left. He didn’t want to approach though as he wasn’t sure if he was allowed to be here.

Who: Nora, OTA
When: Lunch
Where: Outside of Nikki's
What: Nora's hungry!



Back home! It felt wonderful. Nora didn't even mind the freezing cold, because she was home again. Not much had changed, there were a few new stores taking the places of others, but she was sure she'd be able to get right back in to the swim of things. As soon as she figured out what she was going to get for lunch... She'd told her mom she'd pick up food and bring it back, leaving Audrey to direct the movers.

But there were so many options, and she would obviously have to stop in and get some coffee at Nikki's to help her decide.

Who: Step and Open
When: mid morning
Where: Park
What: Step is trying to entertain himself

Step swung slightly on the swing. The other swings next to him abandoned by any other children or teenagers. He wondered slightly if it was pre-emptive. They’d all run away so he couldn’t try and see if anyone would like to have fun with him.

The chains squeaked softly as his toes scraped the dirt underneath the swing. His cold hands grabbed at the chains either side of his head and he stared down at his knees. His long ginger hair blew about in the breeze. He should probably head back up to the cabins soon. Build himself a new den now he didn’t have a cabin to live in.

Who: Step and Open
When: mid morning
Where: park
What: Step is watching the people again

Sometimes Step did wish he was a little bolder. Perhaps even a little less scatty or timid. Sometimes he did almost wish he wasn't, him. He was watching all these people playing together in the snow having fun and wished he had the nerve to join them.

Step whined softly. Why did Carolyn have to show him affection just to leave? He had never known what comfort and love and care felt like. So he had never felt as though he had been missing out on anything. But now he knew just how wonderful it felt to be shown tendernes. Now he missed it terribly. He felt very lonely. They say it is lonely at the top, perhaps just as lonely as the bottom?

He long ginger hair blew about in the breeze and he smiled softly watching the little kiddies build snowmen.
