Who ? Eddie and Q Where ? Outside Q's room When ? Friday afternoon What ? Roller skating mishap!
Eddie had known how to roller skate long before he received Dameon's Christmas gift, it was his main method of transportation back in Florida. The hallways were a kind of replacement for the familiar streets and sidewalks back home. They were smooth and empty of obstacles like sticks and rocks and the plague of tiny frogs and lizards that seemed to be all over the place in the summer months. While he missed the fresh air, the sea breeze, and the feeling of the sun beating down on his back, he tried his best to remain optimistic. Even with the list of things he missed about home, he had to remember there was also a list of things he didn't like and a list of all the wonderful things he had gained by following Mr. Smith to Stargate. Sometimes reminding himself of those things helped chase away the bouts of homesickness he had a tendency to suffer.
The rest of the time the obnoxiously bubbly pop he kept on his electric pink iPod took care of things! He was listening to it now as he made a racing track out of the hallway in front of everyone's living quarters. He was pretending it wasn't winter dressed in a vested blouse, and a pair of tight fitting pink denim jeans. It was nearly Valentine's day and he had to wear them!
As he zipped down the hallway the blond turned a corner a little too tightly, his wheels groaning and leaving a streak of rubber against the tile floor, Eddie felt himself falling. He reached out to grab for a door knob or the wall or anything to keep himself vertical but had already built up too much momentum and with a shriek he broke a nail and landed loudly against someone's door, landing in a heap on the floor. His iPod slipped out of his pocket and clattered to the floor but he'd hardly noticed. "Ow, ow, ow!" He whined. His shoulder hurt! And his knees! And he'd hit his cheek on the frame of the door. Tears welled in his eyes almost instantly as the Eddie Flynn reaction to nearly everything over took him. He was going to have a big horrible bruise tomorrow he just knew it! It would ruin Valentine's day completely!
