Flying Freedom (ON HOLD)

Chapter 36

After about 5 minutes of trying to decide, I gave up. Why not just have some of them all? Actually, that'd be an two containers worth... Okay, let's stick to three. Ummm..... cookie dough and mint, then lemon sorbet after (I don't think those three would taste too good mixed together). I tell my 'order' to Preston, who smirks and gets it. I didn't even know we had these bowls, but they're beautiful! I'm not sure if they're crystal or not, but they definitely look that way. Preston gives himself mint, strawberry, and maple. OOOOOOHHHH... we had maple? I guess that would have been good also. I sigh, staring at his bowl.

"You want some, don't you?" Preston snickers. I nod, blushing. "Finish yours first, then MAYBE I'll give you some," he sighs, like he was talking to a child. I just stare at him. "Oh, fine," he smiles, making me grin. He takes the spoon and hands it to me. Wow, that is really good ice cream! Maple syrup is good by itself, but having it as ice cream isn't too bad either. Giving the spoon back to him, he takes some himself before nodding.

"I know, surprisingly good, right?" I ask, eating some of my mint. Looking over at Flit, she is staring at Jerome. Or is it the clock? Maybe Lachlan? Could it be the bright flowers in the garbage can again? I'm not sure. Either way, she seems fascinated by whatever/whoever it is. Something tells me it's going to be a while before we finish all of this ice cream. Let's just say that, overall, we MAY have finished about one carton. Honestly, we never needed this much, but Peony can go overboard sometimes.

"I'm done," Twi says. I nod and push my bowl away. We've managed to finish off 5 cartons - Now we all feel sick. I lay my head on Preston's shoulder and he slowly strokes my wings as we just look around the table at everyone else. Mitch stands up and goes over to the camera.

"Well, I hope you all enjoyed this video, and if you did be sure to slap that like button. Remember that everyone else's channels will be below in the description, and I'll see you all later. Take care everyone, and good bye," he smiles. Turning off the camera, he goes over to Jerome and Preston. They all go into the living room for several minutes before coming back here and grinning.

"Everyone, there will be a movie night in the living room as soon as you're all ready," Jerome smiles. We all try to grin back, but we just feel sick. Maybe popcorn would help.... NOT! A few minutes later, we are all snuggled by the fire and a laptop is projecting the movie onto the wall. Since the power is still (unfortunately) out, that'll have to work. Netflix has so many uses, especially when you're watching a movie with your 'special someone'. Or, in Flit's case, snuggling with Jerome and ignoring the movie entirely. Too bad - she really would've liked this one - it has a lot of cute animals! I guess she's too preoccupied with Jerome to notice. Bummer, isn't it? Preston sits next to me, holding my hand under the blanket. Twi and Mitch are arranging pillows behind themselves (there's, like, 15) and Unicity is talking a bit with Lachlan. Jackie and Rob are currently not here, as they are doing something in the other room. Strangely, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore, but, hey, I'm not complaining! As the movie continues on, Jackie and Rob still don't show up. Then, the doors to the kitchen open and they each come out, pushing the little cart that was used for dinner. On top of it is 14 GIANT bowls of popcorn. They must be two feet across, at LEAST. Ironically, we have specific bowls for each person. Mine is red with lightning bolts, and Preston's is orange with cacti. Rob just gets a blue and gray one. Flit gets a yellow one with tiny pink butterflies and Twi's is deep purple with pink sparkles. Unicity is white and purple. She waves her hand, and little crystals imbed themselves along the outside. Jackie gets a green bowl with red apples along the sides, and Peony's is basically a bunch of random colors thrown together. Mitch gets a bowl that's checkered with red and black and Jerome gets a brown one that looks as though it's covered in fur (luckily for him, it isn't). Vikk and Lachlan get matching bowls in different colors - the design is just stripes. Awwww... VIKKLAN! I'm not hungry, so I start to push my bowl away before I decide against it and grab it. I may not be hungry at the moment, but it's mine, so might as well save it for later. Rob and Jackie settle down before they decide that they want to watch a different movie. Rob stands up, looking at Jackie, before grabbing a romance one and putting it in the CD drive. During that time, he quickly checks his email (which we can all see because the laptop is still projecting) and sits down as the movie starts playing. At first, the story seems interesting, but after a few minutes it's already getting a bit much. Who MADE this movie?!? Don't they know NOT to go overboard? Honestly, I don't think I can watch this... I look around the room only to see everyone else with tears in their eyes and watching with pure fascination.
