Goodbyes are for suckers [IC]

[disintegral]

[Someone is sitting on her bed, a couple of packed bags next to her, staring at a small piece of paper in her hands. That's all, really. But she's actually being still and silent for once, so clearly something is wrong.]

How selfish is it that I still wish you'd stay?

[disintegral]

Just the right amount, I think.

[fourthsaken]

Good. I can accept that.

[disintegral]

...

[fourthsaken]

... What? I know I'm being selfish every time I get pissed people leave.

[disintegral]

No, no, I'm just thinking...

[fourthsaken]

About what?

[disintegral]

[reaches into one of her bags and pulls out her camera]

One last picture?

[fourthsaken]

Sure.

[disintegral]

[scooches in close]

[fourthsaken]

[ready to force a smile]

Ready when you are.

[disintegral]

Okay, three, t--

[suddenly drapes all over, practically jumping on her, and hopefully ends up with a shaky picture of herself looking like a maniac and Jade with a shocked expression :D]

[fourthsaken]

[you are very successful!]

--Alani!

[disintegral]

Haha, sorry! Couldn't resist.

[fourthsaken]

It's okay. It's perfect, actually.

[disintegral]

Glad you agree.

[fourthsaken]

[pulls her into a hug]

I'll see you soon and I love you and I'm not gonna say goodbye because you're gonna find me...

[disintegral]

...yeah. Soon.

Be good, okay?

[fourthsaken]

Of course. You too.

[disintegral]

[i- i guess that's about it then...]

[fourthsaken]

[gently shoves her toward the barrier]

Go before I decide I'm not gonna let you.

[disintegral]

Yeah, I... yeah. [shaky smile] Later, Jade. Love ya.

[and starts walkin']

[fourthsaken]

[don't mind her, she's going to wave until you're completely gone]

[disintegral]

[See You Space Cowboy]
