16. Larc's Side of the Story #2

As Larc entered the room, her hands flew to her eyes. She nearly gagged. Where they really…? Since she didn't hear any screams of protest, she opened her eyes. They weren't. She let out a sigh of relief, but didn't turn on the light. Let them be.

Larc had a sudden urge for a camera, but also disregarded that idea. Patrick probably had enough problems with paparazzi as it was. Larc groaned suddenly.

"I'm NOT sleeping in the same room as that idea!" she said, closing the door. After pausing for a few moments, she took precisely six steps to her right and pounded on THAT door. "Emmy?" she called. "You got a sleeping bag? Or a blanket, at least?"

When the door opened, she found Gerard instead of Emmy. Oops. She hadn't meant to wake him. "Hello Gerard. I need to bunk in your room for tonight; two certain blondes took over my room," Larc explained, shifting her Meg costume, which she had just had checked out last-minute, to her other arm. Gerard blinked, shook the sleep from his eyes and let her in. "Patrick and Vanessa?" he asked quietly – Emmy was still asleep. Larc nodded, searching for anything she could sleep on. Nothing but other people's beds.

"What are they doing!" asked Gerard, slightly louder and more awake. Larc shushed him. "It's not what you think! I presume that they were practicing and, being Vanessa, Vanessa fell asleep and somehow they ended up in the same bed," she whispered. Gerard coughed. Larc re-thought what she had said, then shook her head vigorously, saying, "It's just not, okay? Disregard anything I said before and just keep in mind that it's not. Geez Gerard, our parents let us go on this cruise alone because they trusted us! Not because they wanted to get rid of their kids for a month!" Larc then pulled the comforter, which Emmy wasn't using, from Emmy's bed and laid it on the floor. "And if I'm staying in here for a few hours, we're going to have to trust each other!"

Gerard quietly listened to Larc's ramblings. She went on and on about people's trust issues. Gerard sat on his bed and turned off the lamp, which he had turned on to answer the door. "Good night, Larc," he said rather forcefully. Larc immediately shut up and said, "Thanks Gerard." "No problem. Now go to sleep or I'll kick you out."
