Hello! Just a little "Author's Note": This story is about Connie X Eugene (am I the only one who ships them?) from Adventures in Odyssey.
It's taken from both Connie's point of view and Eugene's, but the first chapter is Connie's. I hope you enjoy! I promise to not abandon it!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ADVENTURES IN ODYSSEY OR THE CHARACTERS USED IN THIS WORK OF FICTION! I ONLY OWN THE STORY!
Good, now that the Disclaimer is over with... ON WITH THE STORY! Kick back, relax, make some popcorn, and GET TO READING (please)! :-D
Connie's point of view:
I smiled as Eugene walked into the door. Katrina and I were going to go shopping Sunday, and I could hardly hold in the excitement of spending time with another girl. "Good morning, Mr. Whittaker; Ms. Kendall," Eugene said as he walked in the door. "Good morning, Eugene," Mr. Whittaker greeted him with a friendly smile. "Morning, Eugene," I said with a playful smirk, glancing at him for a moment before I continued to wipe down the tables before the customers arrived. "How is Katrina doing?" I asked, smiling. "She's doing well at the moment; She seems eager to spend much of Sunday with you," He said, helping Whit get the stuff ready to open up shop. "Well, that's good," I said as I finished wiping the tables, moving on to mopping the floor. We continued to clean until the whole shop was glistening, the light from the windows giving the whole store a golden glow. I like spending these days in the shop, helping Whit.. I thought to myself, as children who were waiting outside came in from the crisp winter air, the store bustling with merriment and joy. I couldn't help but smile to myself. This was my favorite part of working at Whit's End: Seeing the happy children, their eyes sparkling and their cheeks rosy with the magic merriment Whit's End gave. The effect was more than joyful: It was what made Whit's End so popular in the first place.
It just wasn't because we had games and toys here, but it was because we gave children the love and attention some of them couldn't find anywhere else.
Of course, that didn't mean we didn't discipline the kids. We did, but children appreciated discipline more than us totally ignoring them. Even if they don't admit it, in their hearts they crave the feeling of love and acceptance, even kids that misbehave love to feel at least a little wanted. Of course, it's not like I'm an EXPERT on kids or anything, but it's true... I thought as I continued to watch them. I could see Eugene off in the corner talking on his phone, with a grave expression on his face. As he hung up, he said to Mr. Whittaker, "I must leave immediately, Mr. Whittaker. Katrina's been in an accident," Then he sprinted out the door. "Alright, Eugene; Be safe, and God Bless," Whit called out. "What's going on?" I said out loud, shocked when Eugene mentioned Katrina. Whit shook his head. "I'm not sure; What I do know is that we can pray for them," He said, stopping to look at me, his face grave. I stopped too. "Okay," Was all I could manage to say as Whit and I sat down and bowed our heads over the table.
"Dear Heavenly Father,
We pray for healing for Eugene and Katrina. We ask that you might be with them and guide them in this difficult situation. We ask that you might heal Katrina and any injuries she might have, and that her life might be in Your hands, Lord. Please help Eugene to get through this difficult time, and that he might be healed as well. Keep them both safe and whatever happens, Lord, help them to continue to honor You in every situation. Amen."
"Amen," I said after Whit had finished praying. "Do you think they'll be okay, Whit?" I asked him softly, praying the terrible moment would be over soon. "Well, I can't guarantee they'll be okay, Connie, but I can guarantee whatever happens it will be for the Glory of God," He said. He held my hands in his.
"It'll be alright, Connie," He said earnestly, and I knew he was right. I just nodded, seeing that there was nothing more I could do.
Please, God... help Katrina... help Eugene... please... I silently prayed in my head, letting go of the situation and trusting God would handle it for me.
