Stand on up and take a bow

That’s just the Fabray girls though: gorgeous, smart, sexy, incredibly talented. And Belle? Well Belle is the head cheerleader and you know what cheerleaders don’t do? Think twice about nerds who prefer their own company like me….It isn’t a reflection on who she is as a person…it’s me. 

Mmm and Belle spends hours of attention on all sorts of nerds?  I mean other then you, who she bothers with quite a bit.  In fact, when has she paid as much attention to anyone not on her team or related to her or is dating her sisters, and not Harper.... who she has this odd kind of annoyance based friendship with.... still the point.  No one else.  She is putting an awful lot of attention into one little nerd by the name of Ava Lopez.   Any ideas why?  You know, other then mine?

Then we’ll definitely say it isn’t so you can claim it. I don’t get why. You and Larissa are all…well you and Larissa and me and Belle are….us. I don’t know.

Thank you, thank you, that sounds like a plan then.  You and Belle are all, well you and Belle.  I mean I was like Larissa is so gorgeous, funny and sexy, there is no way.  But then there was.

Is that a quote from a movie or something? And no, I wouldn’t say we were like that…we don’t really talk about it like that. 

Not that I know of.  I'll be a bit put out if it is.  Trust me, you and Belle remind me of Larissa and I, how we are about each other.  I have a good feeling on this one.

No, I couldn’t ask that of you both. I’ve got two left feet…okay, not really that true but…I’ll look like an idiot. It’s not really….like, what even is a thing?

Okay, now it is officially my duty to make sure this happens somehow.  Friends don't let friends not know how to dance.  A thing is the point before you two come out and say how together you actually are, it's like the place where you are just gravitating.

That could be really fun actually! Not that I’ve danced before.

I would be yes!  Oh really?  I am sure Belle would teach you, or I could possibly.  As long as you behave, I am sure Larissa wouldn't mind.  I mean you and her sister have some kind of thing going, right?

I don't know why I keep making New Year's resolutions.

Awww, Larissa.  What was it?  Is it anything I can help with?

Happy New Year!

Happy new year, Harper.  I sure did, did you?  I am doing well, got a small bug now that classes are back in session.

Oh I can’t be.  I coped. It may have been a struggle but I feel like I’ve achieved something by coming out whole on the other side. Oh it’s just work and stuff, I assure you.

I.. sounds like you had quite the show then.  There I would probably surrender to your wisdom hands down.  I've always had Kitty to buffer me or now Larissa, but as much as I like her, Belle is a handful especially when she has some cheerleaders on hand.  Work and stuff, that is anticlimactic.

Christmas eve with the best sister in the world and loads of food. What more do I need?

Sounds wonderful Faith.  I am spending mine with Larissa.  It's helping that it feels like the Wilde's have camped in the Fabray's place all of December.  Just the break really.

Do I want to know what her birthday present was?

I can't say, what I can say is I wouldn't tell either way.  It was a very private gift.

Like everyone gets presents, I bake goodies for everyone. Larissa would love anything you get her.

Sounds yummy.  I get that but I still want it to be good.  I doubt it can really top her birthday though....

Christmas is soon!

How much is all out?  I am kind of having trouble with presents this year.  I was thinking of trying to write things for people, but I figured I should get them stuff too...  Just hard to figure out what to get people.  Trying to find something for Larissa being the most important.

Yeah I did and that was a very low joke. Not untrue though…. They were all really cool and I was as surprised as anyone. Right now I’m gonna say she was an incredibly sexy vampire but my mind is a blur…like now too because lack of sleep. 

What can I say, my wits are not about me.  I seriously doubt you can be blamed.  Really, that's surprising.  I am sure you tired, I mean surviving the three of them couldn't have been easy.  I obviously won't ask why you are lacking on the sleep under the circumstances.
