Forgotten for a moment

"Stop calling me that!" Dylan's eyes narrow as he yanks his hand from BJ's, still glaring. Turning the boy around roughly, he points down the trail. "You get back the same way you came, dufus. Follow the trail. It's not hard, and from what I hear, you're the smartest kid ever to hit the planet. So go. And leave me be from now on, or I'll tell Dad you went in the barn today even though you weren't supposed to."


Scott murmurs some kind of refusal for Hope staying, but his body just can't fight it anymore. Her shifting just puts him in a more comfortable position and he's sound asleep. It's at least forty-five minutes later before Scott finally stirs again. They were still on the floor and somewhere along the way he'd wound up lying with his head in Hope's lap.

Slowly opening his eyes, he doesn't even remember where he is, still lost in a fog. But knowing whose hand was in his hair brings a small smile to his face. And for a moment, he forgets how angry he is. "You make me too comfortable," he mumbles, tucking an arm around her. "What time is it?"


"Mmm... something with action in it so we stay awake for ice cream." Gage grins and gets up from the chair, stretching tall.

Grabbing his faded denim jacket, he slings it over his shoulder. "Alright. Off for job attempt number eight. Wish me luck." The job hunt was growing discouraging, but he hadn't given up yet. His little apartment was still bare and chilly, keeping him on the hunt.

Spinning back around, he leans down to give Sapphire another quick kiss, then finally leaves her cubicle.
