Getting Ready

This was how the next few days went, Brandon was feeling more comfortable- and while more distant from Jenny, he was having more fun playing and hanging out by himself. They did their classes in the living room, so when Jenny had hers, Brandon was playing in his room. When Brandon had his, we were able to explore and prepare for the night.

Ellie and I, made it possible to open the vent without needing a screwdriver- and making it look like it was closed. We haven't been able to exit any of the vents yet, we need to find or by a special item to get those open.

One morning, Jenny was giving Brandon a bath and we were in the bedroom and we heard yelling from Jenny then it was silent for a few more minutes. After a while, Brandon walked in with a towel wrapped around him and his eyes were red, obviously he had been crying. He climbed up on the table, as Jenny walked in- she had cut her hair short and even dyed it a different color. She started to diaper Brandon.

"See sweetie, nobody is even going to recognize us. Everybody has masks on and nobody is supposed to be out unless it is absolutely necessary. You look different and I look different- it is going to be fine." she said, as she started to put cotton tights on him.

"I just don't understand why you didn't bring my clothes back- I know you said I don't need them- but something for when we go out would be nice." he replied.

She sat him up and slid a white t-shirt with teddy bears all over it over his head, and then a corduroy dress with a bear stitched on the chest. He started to complain again, and Jenny just popped a pacifier in his mouth, clipping it on his dress. He sat there, dropping his head as she started to brush his hair.

It has gotten longer, so she put short pigtails behind his head and then put a headband on his head. She went over and put a pair of flats on his feet, before she removed her clothes- changing into a pair of jeans and a shirt with a jacket. She grabbed a face mask for her self- the generic disposable ones and put it on and went back over to Brandon. She put a pink mask with unicorns and clouds on it, on his head. She helped him down and brought him over to the closet, where she installed a full length mirror on the inside door.

She stood behind him, "see, nobody will ever notice who either one of us are." she then reached up in the closet, grabbing a bag before grabbing his hand. She led him to the door, grabbing me and stuffing me inside the bag along the way. Inside the bag were some changing supplies and clothes. I could hear them exiting the building- and there was a chill that hit over me, as they started to walk outside.
