Thread: Minnie and Any!
Who: Minnie and Any When: Sunday Afternoon, January 12th Where: Zener Rec Room What: The TV is on, but Minnie is feeling homesick. :(
It wasn't normal, but she was sad. Minnie usually prided herself on being cheerful. Looking on the bright side and not letting things bother her. The whole business after New Year's was kind of hard to ignore, but she had managed not to let it get her down. She was pretty confident that things would eventually settle. That everything would work out in the end because things just couldn't stay as scary and messed up as they were. Eventually, the Stargate or whatever people would realize how wrong they were. Their actions weren't going to do anything but make life harder for everyone, and Minnie counted on them realizing that. So she hadn't been depressed so much after that had happened.
No, what made her sad today was the fact that her parents had just called. They had wanted to check in, since they'd been a bit more worried than usual following the events a couple weeks ago. Minnie didn't mind, except that today they had told her that they were stuck in the Netherlands. Apparently her grandmother's health was failing a bit, so they were going to stay and take care of her. Which meant the visit home she had planned for the long weekend would have to be postponed. Sniffing a bit, Minnie wiped a hand across her face, trying to stop the tears. She missed her family. Seeing them would've helped her feel better about everything going on, and it always made her feel good in general. Except now she'd gone nearly two months with only a few phone calls, and her poor grandmother was ill. And there was nothing she could do.
