two cups of hot chocolate in her hands, she made her way over to the couch. it wasn't everyday that anyone came over. most of the time, it was just her there. well her and her dog bella. "here. it's real hot chocolate, i promise. not that powder crap." who even liked the powder version of hot chocolate? to her, it tasted like crap. maybe that was because she was so used to making the real version of it. that, with homemade whipped cream too. "you know, we should really do a movie night again. you, gi and i." just like they used too a few years ago.

　she'll tell you bargain  bin  horror  films.  not  the  classic  halloweens  and  screams  (  even  if  the  latter  is  her  favorite  ) –  we're  talking  movies  that  were  made  with  $10  and  a  dream  that  you'd  find  for  $1  at  the  thrift  store  buried  beneath  a  heaping  pile  of  90s  television  box  sets  and  2000s  made-for-tv  romcoms.  they’re  god  awful  to the point where she finds them endearing. thinks it's nice that someone had a vision they believed in so much they got off their ass to bring it to life ... even if said vision is shit.  she couldn't give a reason  as  to  why  she  finds  them  so  comforting, maybe  it's  the  ritual  of  making  fun  of  them while they play.  　what  she  really  wants  to  say:  dkny  be  delicious,  specifically  in  the  green  bottle,  her  mom’s  signature  scent.  it  reminds  her  of  when  she  was  a  little  girl  tugging  on  her  hand  to  get  picked  up in places  where  things  got  too  overwhelming ...  how  it  lingered  when  she  buried  her  face  in  the  crook  of  her  neck and clung to her own clothes after the fact; but  it's  melancholic  as  much  as  it  is  comforting.

it depends on how the time travel works. reed heard that his mom threw up onstage when accepting an award because she was pregnant with him and wasn't aware. if he could visit that day to inform his mom and stop her from embarrassing herself, he probably would. but if that means he would have to go back to being a literal fetus, then no. if it were possible too, he'd go back to 2010 at his current age, audition for the x factor uk, and see if he could make it as a member of one d.irection. all in all, though, he would lean towards staying in the present.

trixie tries to take " strategic" naps every day, depending on her schedule... so who knows. she doesn't get sleep at reasonable hours, in reasonable amounts, that's for sure.
