Alexis: I know you're not exactly thrilled with it. I just want to know why. And it's okay to be brutally honest. If I didn't want to know what you thought I wouldn't ask.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:37 pm

Colin:"Because I'm scared of you getting hurt like mom...I know it sounds stupid. I know Amanda too offence. I'm sure Alex would go after me for saying that. And I know you would disagree or get made or whatever but...Look, you never saw how much they loved each other. They were crazy about each other. I was old enough to see it, I was old enough to know it early in their marriage. I know Alex has some sort of...ideal of a perfect family. He's lived in a house where the parents didnt fight. The father didn't drink...none of that. But...I did. And that scares me."

Pockets Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:52 pm

Alexis: Mom talked to us, about the whole everything not being perfect. Alex said he knew it's not going to be. It hasn't even started out that way. But, did you even know that Alex was going to go back inside the restaurant and apologize to dad? He's willing to turn around and own up to being wrong, not hide from it, like dad did by drinking all the time. I don't think it's going to be at all like mom and dad's turned out. Alex doesn't even drink himself, just because he knows it would bother me.

Colin sighs

Colin:"I know...I know."

Pockets Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:58 pm

Alexis: I'm not trying to shoot you down, more like reassure you, I guess. I'm not angry that you're worried about me.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:02 pm

Colin:"I suppose I'd be a pretty crappy older brother if I wasn't..."

Pockets Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:07 pm

Alexis smiles.

Alexis: For everything that was screwed up when we were growing up, I did luck out with my big brother.

The smile turns into a smirk.

Alexis: Who didn't have to go and tell everyone about me and Alex before either of us had a chance to.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:12 pm

Colin:"Sister sister sister...You should be thanking me for doing that really."

Pockets Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:13 pm

Alexis: And why is that?

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:17 pm

Colin:"A)I saved you and Alex a bunch of money and time. Time that...I'm sure you both will find time to fill....

he winces at the thought

"And B)This allows your future father in-law to cool down a bit before seeing you both."

Pockets Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:21 pm

Alexis sticks her tongue out.

Alexis: Oh like you and Amber have been so chaste. And after their little... confrontation, Alex's dad seems a little better about me. At least he realizes I'm not dad.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:26 pm

Colin:"Is a broken arm what it takes to reach Ewan? I doubt dad has the strength to do that...he might have to break Ewan's hip to get to him...Actually...no bad idea."

Pockets Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:34 pm

Alexis: Dislocated shoulder. And it was his hand, not his arm.

She chuckles.

Alexis: I can see that going so well...

She mimics Ashley's accent.

Alexis: Oi, Ewan! I want to say I'm sorry for kicking your woif. 'Ere!

She kicks, controlling it to stop right before hitting Colin in the stomach.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:38 pm

Colin jumps back a bit, then laughs

Colin:"Yeah it would be sort of like going "sorry about the wound, here let me rub salt in it""

Pockets Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:42 pm

Alexis laughs.

Alexis: The only apology to ever turn into a wrestling match... with both competitors having screwed up knees. Then again, maybe they'll just keep kicking at each other.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:44 pm

Colin goes serious

Colin:"I have my doubts those two will ever make up. Dad wants to, I can feel it. If he wanted to make up with us why wouldn't he want to make up with his friends? He even is getting along with Frank again. But...What Amanda told me doesn't exactly spark confidence."

Pockets Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:49 pm

Alexis sighs.

Alexis: If Ewan hated us just for dad being our dad he's not going to turn around and be okay with dad just saying sorry.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:51 pm

Colin:"No...it'd take more then that."

Pockets Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:55 pm

Alexis: Well, we have to go talk to him anyway. Maybe, if he's willing to talk to me I can find out what it would take.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:57 pm

Colin:"You figure Alex or Amanda could be any help in reaching him?"

Pockets Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:01 pm

Alexis: Since Alex is talking to dad he might be able to. He will have seen both sides.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:07 pm

Colin:"Maybe you can talk to him?"

Pockets Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:12 pm

Alexis nods.

Alexis: I'll ask him when he comes back. Hopefully the talk with dad is going well.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:15 pm

Colin:"Oh to be a fly on the wall in that hospital room....Oh by the way I think I know one person I never told about you and Alex."

Pockets Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:19 pm

Alexis: Oh? Who would that be?
