Disclaimer: Not mine – still not. And I'm afraid I don't have enough money to buy anything or anyone. But maybe as a present?
A/N: Just a very short Joan introspective after dinner. It might be a little weird, but maybe she just had too much food? Hope you like it anyway.

Universe
(Takes place after the dinner when Kevin blurted out the psychic's prediction.)
Slowly as if every step took all her energy, Joan walked up to her room and sat down on the windowsill, staring out in the dark. 'I feel strange,' she thought. 'Strange that I know the psychic got another one right. Yeah, I can understand that, a dog and a white car are not really great, but my special connection to the universe… she kind of got that right too, didn't she? I mean, isn't talking to God like a special connection? Not everybody does it, as far as I know.
'So what does this mean for Kevin? Will he really dance at his wedding? He shocked us all with that, I think. We all stared at him as if he'd just told us he would be joining the peace corps. It's weird. I want Kevin to walk, to find a job and a nice girl, but I really don't want him to get his hopes up again. And Mom. Especially not Mom. I think she's still hoping for a miracle that'll make Kevin walk again. I know that she will not get it. We all won't. Kevin will stay in that chair forever and we'll all have to live with it.
'But does that mean that the psychic can't be right? He can still meet a girl and get married, and everything can turn out fine, just not on the walking side. Question is… what do I do with this knowledge? I could hardly tell them that I do have a special connection to the universe, they'd considered me to be even more crazy than usual. On the other hand it would be nice for Kevin to know that the prediction is not that unlikely, that he is gonna get married – however that dancing thing is gonna work out.'
She stretched her arms and closed the curtain. Maybe Kevin didn't need to know. Maybe he should better make up his own mind and not care if the psychic was right or not. And maybe she should go to bed.
A/N: I know this was short. If you want to know how I interpreted the psychic's prediction go and read my first JoA fic "Dance at my Wedding".
