“Are you wearing lipstick?” Mike asked.

I nodded.

“Melissa, is he your personal make-up model?”

“Would you like to be my next artistic marvel?” Melissa asked with a subtle flirty hint to her voice.

“I could use a little hair work, maybe.”

“Oh, I can do a lot more.”

“We noticed,” Chad replied as we stepped into the building.

The hallway was crowded with cheerleaders, advisors, coaches and administrators.

In this Chapter, Emily reflects on the bittersweet contrast between cherished memories of a past life and the tentative embrace of a new home.

After about 5 minutes of lying against the front door sobbing and feeling totally miserable, I hauled myself off of the hallway floor and threw my handbag across the hall towards the stairs in a fit of temper. Even my attempt to throw the bag onto the stairs was a failure. I missed the bottom of the stairs by a few inches. I even threw like a girl!

"Oh my god," Viks gasped as she crouched down beside Joshua. "Steph, call 999! Now!"

"Uh, okay," Stephanie said, fumbling in her bag for her phone as Viks rolled Joshua onto his back and checked his neck.

"He's got a pulse but it's very weak," Viks said.

"What- what do we do?" Jonathan asked, unable to contain his sense of panic.

The Summer I could never Forget

I look out of the window of my room, in a senior citizens' home. It's been so long, since I last left the confines of the estate. As I hobble down dimly-lit hallways, past drably uniformed nurses wheeling residents in and out of their rooms, I let my feet take over. A pair of wrinkled, weary feet, aged from the thrills experienced over the course of a lifetime. Amazing how they still work so well- I barely need my stroller at all.

Alright, the third and final part. I will say, as dark as this is, don't give up on Tia just yet. There are a few loose ends, of course, that I can write stories about later if I choose. And again, for those that ask, yes this is a second generation canon piece.

At any rate, enjoy.

(P.S. - on a somewhat related note, I just got my Patreon going and fully updated after a snafu which required me to delete and repost everything... so if you browse there and want to, look me up with my pen name. I can't post WAU tales there due to potential legal issues, but everything else is going there first... in fact, Vagrants 17 and the next chapter of Who's hunting who are already there.)
