Illumination Island

"Wait for it to pass through your digestive system, then the... ahem, problems will continue for another day or so."

"OH MY GOD. I'm going to kill Elroy."
Serenity sat on the ground in a corner and started crying.
You're crying too much.
I can't help it....
Suck it up, girl. He's ticked at you already.
Nobody likes me. Liv's even mad...
Then try being nice once and a while.
Well, I do. I'm always nice to Angel, and he's nice to me, but he was just mad one day....
It's because you're so annoying.
Well I'm sorry!
For starters, stop crying!
NO!

Angel pulled the chair out from under the table and sat down again. "So, who was it?"

"What?" Serenity asked, wiping her eyes off by command of her better side.

He picked the book up off the floor and turned to the chapter, which luckily he had folded the corner of the page so he didn't have to flip through and find it.

"What do you mean?" Serenity frowned.

"Better if you don't remember, then."

"N-no, I'll remember. But what are you talking about when you say who was it?"

[OH, BTW, IF YOU WON'T TELL HER, TELL ME. I WANNA KNOW.]

[the dream, dimwit]

He just kept reading.

[thank you.]
Serenity continued thinking. "OH, YOU MEAN THE TURNIP DREAM, DON'T YOU!? I remember it all crystal clear!"

He nodded.

"It was great! Well.... weird, not great at all! And, it was Elroy." Sarcasm. "Idiot, of course it was about you."

"Hm."

"... Can you call me a cab, or something?"

Angel gave her the look that said, "You're an idiot".

".... Will you just please, stop? You're really mean..."

[NIIIIIIIGHT.]

"If you're just going to sit here and be useless or move our furniture, then there is no reason for you to be here."

"Well then fine."

"Olivia stole your boat, you said?"

"Yes, she did. I wasn't even going to talk to you, but then I came in here and you were asleep.."

"That would be a problem..."

"A PROBLEM!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, A PROBLEM?" Serenity jumped up, furious. "I HAVE TO GO HOME! SELIA CAN'T COOK TO SAVE HER LIFE!"

He sighed. "You can take our boat... Just, bring it back next visit."

"So you're inviting me back? Thanks! See you, Angel!" Serenity kissed his cheek.
"AND, I WON'T CRASH IT!"

With that, she ran off.
