(First off, this is a time travel story where Helena gets thrown into the 80's into her dad's favorite TV show. So she knows who the people are, the slang, but not the plotlines. Helena is my OC, but as stated in the summary, just ask if you want to use her in your story. Please enjoy!)

Snow fell in wisps and flurries as young Helena Way walked to the coffee house near her house. She was desperate for a warm cup in her hands to help her relax a bit. These days had been hard on her with the constant babysitting of her younger brother, and the 3 hours of nightly homework. Today was one of those rare days when she could just sit with her laptop and write. While, of course listening to her music.

She clutched her bag strap tighter in her hands as she walked down the barren street. Her plan was to get the largest coffee the local coffee house has, go to the oftentimes ignored upstairs, and stay for hours to read and write. It was the perfect plan.

The familiar smell of coffee hit her nostrils as she walked in the house. Helena walked up to the remodeled kitchen and ordered an Uffda* cappuccino with whipped cream. After paying and getting the cup, she walked up the steps to the upstairs, and sat down on a couch. She set her steaming cup down, pulled her bag into her lap, and laid her head back on the the headrest of the giant couch. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes for a few minutes and just relaxed.

Before she could stop herself, she fell asleep.



*Largest coffee in the coffee house near me. Yes, that's what it's called. And yes, I live in Minnesota.


So, how's that for the first part?
