Noon on Christmas day

"well well someone slept in" says Cat as Isabella, Melissa and Ariel sleepily enter the dorm

"yeah let's not talk about it please" says Ariel

"naughty girl, you're following in mom's footsteps, I'd say I'm mad but I'm too jealous, anyway we already opened our gifts, your gifts are over there, I remember you being very nervous about your gifts touching other people's gifts" says Cat pointing to a mountain of gifts three feet high

"how'd you manage this, unless you knew Ariel would be here today" asks Melissa

"you do know I can see the bond getting stronger between you, Ariel and Izzy, it's always been there, do you believe in fate Melissa" asks Cat

"I believe in the paranormal, I'm not so sure about fate, I thought meeting my ex's was fate, they were also twins but they got too jealous of one another and broke up with me, ever since then I've been worried everything I've ever believed was a lie" says Melissa

"you won't have that problem here, trust me, there's a reason for why they were separated to begin with" says Cat

"they don't go evil do they, I've heard stories about paranormal twins turning evil when they're together" asks Melissa

"ahh yes the Tina twins, no they're not like that, apart Ariel and Izzy follow rules, almost religiously, however together they become very bold, they push the limits of rules, to the point that mom felt forced to keep them apart, they were very kissy with each other as kids, I'm not talking kissing cheeks either, on the lips with the occasional tongue and yes the occasional moan of pleasure, it was that point where mom sent Ariel away, she couldn't have CPS thinking she let them do that, as a lawyer CPS was always butting into her life, always checking in on us, they felt mom was taking very risky cases and putting our lives at risk, had CPS seen them kissing with tongue moms career would have been over and she'd have lost all four of us, none of us would have seen each other again, we'd have been scattered around the country, forcibly kept apart, that said you're a very lucky girl Melissa" says Cat

"Izzy says you're not innocent, I disagree" says Melissa

"I'm both innocent and not innocent, it depends on the situation, around Andre and Paige in bed, absolutely not innocent, not even in the slightest, around my sisters I tend to be a little more innocent and around adults I'm very much childlike in nature, it's not something I can control, it's like a reflex" says Cat

"I don't know how I can keep Izzy and Ariel from being naughty with one another, I can't afford to lose them, last night I slept better than I have in years" says Melissa

"you can't stop them from being naughty towards one another, being kept apart for as long as they have, it only drove them closer now that they're together, think about them as very powerful magnets, keeping the magnets apart is hard, the moment you let one feel the pull of the other they nearly destroy themselves trying to become one bigger magnet, all you can do is redirect the between the legs naughtiness towards you, keeping their tongue away from one another's special place, you will never stop them from being flirty or otherwise naughty with one another, just know that the more they flirt with one another the more they become attached to you, back in the day it was me they became attached to, though thankfully not in a sexually charged manner, they more I kept them tame the more they'd bend over backwards to make sure my needs were met, by needs I mean food, water, sleep and making sure I brushed my teeth and got ready for preschool on time" says Cat

"what's going to happen with me, if I keep them satiated sexually" asks Melissa

"your bond with them is growing more powerful by the minute, even now they are forcing themselves to focus on their presents instead of staring at you, there will come a point that if someone tried to separate them from you they will become suicidal, you had sex with them this morning didn't you" says Cat

"is it that obvious…. They said they couldn't afford to buy me anything this year so they felt making love to me was the next best thing, it's far more enjoyable than I could have imagined, what's the bond look like" says Melissa

"their strong bond is weakening to compensate for the bond with you, it's leveling out, equalizing as it were, as their bond to you gets stronger so will their bond to each other return in strength, the bond between them at the moment they reconnected was a blinding white, the strongest of bonds, it's weakened to what I can only describe as Velvet red, the bond with you is rapidly changing, it started out as a faint pink but its rapidly approaching royal blue, which is said to be an impossible bond to break as well as any color after that into the purples" says Cat

"will their naughty behaviour be able to be satiated in public with kisses from me" asks Melissa

"as their romance with you grows, their desire to appear as loyal lovers to you in public will grow, they will stop themselves from being flirty with one another in public, even in school here, which Ariel will be attending, their loyalty to you is already almost complete, you will in a way be able to order them to keep tame, much like training a puppy, Ariel being on the streets for as long as she has means she in a way imprinted on you the moment she laid eyes on you, if you tell her 'no kissing Izzy in public' Ariel will obey that request and Izzy being the more submissive between the two will follow her lead" says Cat

"I don't like thinking of Izzy and Ariel as puppies, it ruins the romantic, sexual connection for me" says Melissa

"it was the closest analogy I could reference that made sense, there's a reason the term 'puppy love' exists, though in this case consider it loyal love instead of love that lasts a short time, oh and also we don't use the V word to describe the thing between our legs, we use the word kitten instead, it's a more tame word and makes Lucy feel more comfortable so we've all begun using it" says Cat

"speaking of Lucy, Izzy said her actions aren't intended to be sexual yet yesterday I saw her wagging her butt at Dustin and Sofie, her shorts had a hole in that exact place, you can't tell me that wasn't intentional sexual behavior" says Melissa

"it's not a hole, it ripped when she did the splits last week, she tried repairing it but it failed, those are her favourite pair of shorts, they're Italian and they're not cheap, she won't wear an American brand of shorts in their place and she won't let anyone just buy them for her, she wants to make the money herself" says Cat

"but that gesture, it was definitely sexual in nature" says Melissa

"that's because they knew in advance today was the only guaranteed day they could touch each other between the legs as long as no fingers go inside either Lucy or Sofie and Dustin doesn't make them 'rub one out' for him, they're allowed to touch but not play, Zoey feels that because they're delivering mail on campus and that's seen as an adult job that they should be given the chance to have adult like responsibilities, meaning touching is ok, though after today they have to let us know three days in advance" says Cat

"that's a little too adult for them isn't it" asks Melissa worried about Lucy and Dustin being sexualized

"I understand where you're coming from but I taught Dustin well, he wasn't being taught about consent or specifics about what happens to a girls body in sex Ed class, none of the boys were and very few of the girls seemed to care, guys like Logan come to be because they aren't taught about what girls go through among other things, there were a few guys like Logan in my home town, I wasn't going to let Dustin fall through the cracks, not if I could help it, him and I skinny dipped every night until the day he got accepted to PCA, he got to understand a girls body, he learned from me, he got to feel what the parts felt like, again no fingers in but otherwise he got to understand, that's why he feels responsible for what happened to Lucy, he felt he could have stopped Logan" says Zoey

"what about Lucy" asks Melissa

"too interested, teachers thought aunt Val and Uncle Trevor were touching her at home and that's why she was interested, interested so that she could explain what was happening to her" says Cat

"and she wasn't" asks Melissa

"no, uncle Trevor was a touched but of boys not girls, he went away on federal charges last year, nearly ruined Aunt Val's reputation in the process, Lucy was hostile towards him and I isolated myself from him, he would have received obvious wounds he couldn't explain if he'd touched Lucy or I, aunt Val informed the teachers that I'd have ratted on them if they had touched us, repeating the phrase 'no news is good news', Lucy's always been interested in sex however she knows better than to act on those feelings without permission, especially at her age" says Cat

"does Sofie's dad know, I don't see him being accepting of sexualized behaviour at her age" asks Melissa

"she's trans, Lissa she was born a boy, she's been sexualized her entire life, Lucy's confirmed Sofie's soul is feminine and Lucy would know, Sofie's one of Lucy's oldest friends, your soul doesn't magically change what we call gender when you have bottom or top surgery, that much I do know" says Cat

"Sofie having the surgery at her age is going to make trans people like Rosie a target Cat" says Melissa

"her doctor recommended it, not for the reason of it being a gender affirming surgery but for her mental health, she used to make short art videos online and people were saying that because she still had her boy parts that she was still a boy and always would be, she was getting really depressed and at times suicidal, the comments kept coming and coming, she was begging her therapist to let her get the surgery so she could finally be a girl so the comments would stop, it took several months but when she turned thirteen they agreed to the surgery on the condition that she not be 'with' a guy until dilation has properly formed her 'inner kitten', which at the current rate of dilation prescribed by her therapist who specializes in trans girls development, she says she'll be almost fifteen, at which age it is generally accepted that girl do have sex to some degree, legal or otherwise it is generally accepted as fact" says Cat

"what about you, where do you stand on that statistic" asks Melissa

"I'm the exception, Paige and I were exploring each other basically since the day we first met and Aunt Val let us date a few days after that, having what Aunt Val calls half sex by age twelve, two years into our relationship and not long after that, around age thirteen she was set up for attempted murder by corrupt state police" says Cat

"I assume you don't want Lucy following that model" asks Melissa

"not exactly, not the exact time frame, the two years thing, if she can spread it over three years Aunt Val will be happy" says Cat

"what's the difference in approach she wants you to take with her, it seems different" asks Paige

"Dustin is the difference, you and me, we're girls, she didn't see harm in letting two girls have some fun, even that young, Dustin has a chance to get Lucy pregnant, you don't provide the same risk, that's the big difference Paige, and its an important difference for Lucy to acknowledge" says Cat

"so you're slowly introducing sexual options to them in the hopes that they have restraint" asks Melissa

"more or less, the big change happened when Dean Rivers allowed students to have this address to use as a delivery address, he thought Chase and Michael would have the time and the ability to keep up with it, that proved impossible so he offered the delivery position to the three of them, they get to make money and spend time together, yesterday was supposed to be the big secret Santa delivery day but Logan stopped it by entering the property so while today was supposed to be their day off to spend together they begged Quinn to let them deliver presents as was supposed to happen yesterday today, Quinn relented on the condition that she go with them to make sure nothing happens and that they return here as soon as they're done, which thanks to Coco helping out they'll be done soon" says Cat as Quinn returns

"where are they" asks Zoey

"Coco is finishing up with them fifteen minutes max, you wouldn't believe how happy people were, hugs were flying in their direction from every direction, you should have seen the smiles on Dustin, Lucy and Sofie's faces, they feel so good" says Quinn

"Coco reports back to Rivers Quinn, if Lucy let's slip they are dating they could be suspended or worse, expelled, polyamory is not ok by his standards or the board of directors standards" says Zoey very upset

"she has a point Quinn, you shouldn't have left them alone with Coco" says Paige

"Rivers doesn't care, they're the three top students in their grade, I asked a 'hypothetical' about their polyamorous relationship, Rivers replied 'frankly I don't care, Dustin and Lucy have been through what I consider hell, I don't care what they do in their free time as long as it remains in their free time and not during classes, they deserve to be different, I see it as a reward, besides Eichner was happy, he hasn't been happy in years, he was always worried that society would reject Sofie, he never expected two people to be interested in her', he also said 'as long as it doesn't affect their grades I'll find a reason to keep them in this school' he seemed almost relieved" says Quinn

"are you sure he was being serious since Logan was exposed for what he is Rivers has been a little jokey" asks Nicole

"Dean Rivers is ALWAYS serious when he's talking to me, he thinks as I do that I might be autistic so he's made adjustments to make sure I'm aware when he's joking and when he's not joking, I double checked to make sure he was serious and he was, as it turns out his niece in upstate California has been dating two girls and was too afraid to tell him, when he finally found out on Halloween by his niece posting the three of them in costume on her social media, he said polyamory finally makes some sense, he told me that story then said 'I will never again wish to be so scary that my own niece is too afraid to tell me she's happy, that goes for students here as well, they won't be honest if they don't think they can be trusted' he's attempting to rebuild the trust with us female students before even considering opening PCA up to guys again, Lucy, Sofie and Trisha are hard sells on that, I've had dozens of girls say that if Lucy, Sofie and Trisha trust Dean Rivers then there is a chance he can actually be trusted, though Dean Rivers did say that at the bare minimum PCA will infact be a majority girl school till at least the end of the school year, at which point boys will be screened, as it is some of the sixth graders have asked for some boy classmates because having all girl classmates makes them feel like they're being forced to be lesbian, he won't make a decision until Lucy and Trisha have been consulted because they're the ones with the most trauma connected to the male gender, the rest of the girls of all grades said a slow reintroduction with vetted boys is ok" says Quinn

"I already know Lucy's answer, 'as long as they don't touch me it's fine', in her opinion PCA is a big place, especially because of her stunted growth, as long as they stay away from her, Sofie and Dustin she won't object" says Cat as Ariel and Isabella walk over

"what about Trisha and Rebecca, they're in a rather vulnerable place right now" asks Rosie

"thanks for the gift Rosie, that was very thoughtful" says Melissa

"Rosie is always very thoughtful, It's just who she is, every day she's proving that Robbie was who she thought people wanted to be and not who she actually was" says Tori hugging Jade and Rosie

"Trisha and Rebecca isolated themselves, they're just barely comfortable here Rosie, however as long as they're given space neither will object, they attend classes then immediately head back to their room, only staying outside for lunch, however I don't know why" says Quinn as Coco returns with Sofie, Dustin and Lucy

"I know why, Lucy, Dustin, Sofie head to your room, I have a discussion on my hands" says Coco as they head upstairs for their 'fun' time

"what's the explanation, it must be pretty serious for them not to tell Rosie" says Jade

"they're nervous, jittery even, their bond is very strong, they've been making out since the end of November, they're afraid that if you girls noticed that they'd be punished very badly, Rebecca is specifically scared, something about God condemning her to hell" says Coco

"for our God to condemn her she'd have had to sin against him in a bad way, at least at our church we're taught that up to a certain age girls automatically forgiven for their sins" says Rosie

"I don't understand" says Coco

"girls their age don't have a say in what happens to their bodies, yes I'm referring to rape and molestation, we're taught that the rapist and molester commit the sins not the victims but Rebecca has always had a different view on Judaism, even more so than the modernist rabbi we had growing up, mostly due to the accusations by Trisha's parents way back when Rebecca first met Trisha, that first interaction with a non Jewish family changed her, also she's lied to you, they've been kissing since the first day they were reunited, it was only a matter of time before it changed from kissing to making out, Rebecca's trying to make it seem like she has restraint because you have guardianship of Trisha, she doesn't want to lose her ishy again" says Rosie

"and Rebecca assumes I'd do such a thing" asks Coco

"would you" asks Cat

"not unless Rebecca got violent, I don't mind them kissing or making out as long as they don't go farther at this time I have no problem with what they're doing, is Rebecca really afraid of me" says Coco

"mom and dad made me honorary parent while here at PCA, Rebecca and I are close so she knows I won't make them break up, telling you that they've been making out since the end of November was more or less a test on Rebecca's part, she was judging your reaction, she does that for anyone she's unsure of, if she's still jittery it's because she's either misjudged your reaction or your expression plus your reaction didn't match and confused her, such things can confuse her, she's not autistic, at least when it comes to an official diagnosis, she seems to have trouble understanding facial expressions, especially if they don't match your tone of voice and or your body language, from what I've noticed you have what I'd call 'resting annoyed face' in most cases it's not a bad thing, that is except for when you're interacting with Rebecca" says Rosie

"I told them how far I'd be comfortable with them going and that I was happy that they were happy, did Rebecca not think I genuinely meant it" asks Coco

"it's possible she thought you were telling a white lie to protect the feelings of everyone in the room, for her there's a difference between saying something because you mean it and saying something to not seem rude, she knows there's a difference between the two but it's not always easy for her to see the difference, they're coming down for present opening now so you can always offer to clear things up, I'll know pretty quickly by how she reacts what the problem is" says Rosie

"I thought they opened presents earlier, Trisha loves opening gifts as early as possible" says Coco slightly confused

"Rebecca and Lucy got off on the wrong foot about sexuality and rights, Lucy's also protective of Tori to a degree and believes Rebecca didn't apologize enough to Tori for causing the amnesia, as a result they tend to avoid one another unless it is absolutely not possible to do so, also Rebecca's more of an afternoon person anyway, weekends and holidays she rarely gets up before ten in the morning, she likely spent the morning doting on Trisha, I don't know if you noticed but Trisha's a little insecure about her looks, especially with Sam Puckett around, I think they're related in some way" says Rosie

"ahh yes, Samantha and Trisha are related, even if only just barely, Sam's the more insecure, as a result she can be pushy, Trisha was more the 'manipulate people into complimenting me because I hate how I look' type, both have changed significantly since falling in love, I assume Sam having a criminal record doesn't help Trisha's enthusiasm about her future, especially since they tend to look alike in most respects though both have dramatically changed their hairstyles since falling in love, Sam went middle part and Trisha went braid crazy" says Rosie as Rebecca and Trisha stop dead in their tracks upon seeing Coco

"can she go, I don't want to talk to her" asks Rebecca

"at least explain what I did wrong, I have no problem with you girls making out, that's something I wish I was allowed to do at your age, I am sincerely happy that you girls are happy" says Coco being very sincere and honest

"we understood that, at least Ishy did right away, it took me a bit, that's not why though, the day you did our hair, you were very aggressive with the brush, it hurt and both Ishy and I lost some hair after, I had a headache for two days, I couldn't focus on anything, it felt like you wanted to rip some hair out, that scared me, if you must stay please give me some space" says Rebecca as Coco backs away slightly

"I haven't brushed anyone's hair in along time, my girlfriend has to go to a salon because she has ehlers danlos syndrome and a hairdresser she trusts knows how to work with her hair, I didn't realize I was being rough, neither you nor Trisha made any indication that it hurt, or at least not loud enough for me to hear, my hearing isn't as good as it used to be, two years ago a lot of twelfth graders and Logan were partying and I was the one sent to break them up, it damaged my hearing pretty bad, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done your hair but Trisha gave me those puppy dog eyes I can't seem to say no to" says Coco as Rebecca suddenly tilts her head in confusion

"I didn't know, you talk to us fine so I thought you could hear us in pain" says Rebecca feeling bad that she blamed Coco for something that was an accident

"I have temporary hearing aids in, they're not quite tuned enough for quiet sounds, they're tuned for speaking volume, I was supposed to go get my official hearing aids today but I told them I wanted to spend time with Trisha and the girl that makes her so happy, that Christmas was an important time for me" says Coco

"oh…. so you REALLY aren't mad about Ishy and I making out all the time" asks Rebecca

"absolutely not Rebecca, like I said the only thing I won't tolerate is sex at your age, for my personal ethics, fourteen is the minimum age but fifteen and older is preferred" says Coco

"what in that area would you be ok with mom" asks Trisha

"exactly what Lucy, Dustin and Sofie do, look and touch but no fingers inside one another between the legs, exploration is ok but the line between exploring and sex is a firm one, sex in my case is defined as fingers or tongues or any extremities inside the other's special place, anything else is fair game as long as consent is given" says Coco

"so as long as she says it's okay I can touch her anywhere as long as I don't put my fingers inside her" asks Trisha

"within reason, the main one being no touching in public, in your dorm room alone together or down here under supervision is ok" says Coco

"what if it's movie night and she wants me to say feel her chest" asks Trisha as Rebecca quickly pipes up

"in this scenario we'd be wrapped up in a blanket on the floor off to the side out of the view of the main doors" says Rebecca

"Rosie what's your opinion, I myself have no problem with that as long as it's discrete and doesn't interrupt anything" says Coco

"Rebecca often requires hugs when she gets scared or is having trouble sleeping, asking Trisha to touch her body isn't that far off, it's just a more trusting variation, I agree anything done outside their room should be discrete however as they're often sitting beside each other in class and during lunch I see no problem with chest or belly touches as long as it is on top of her clothes and is brief and not longer than a minute" says Rosie

"that's going to be quite obvious" says Zoey

"Rebecca has stress issues, though mostly self generated stress it is still stress and isn't good for her grades, a few years ago I used to have to call her every day at lunch because she'd have a panic attack because teachers wouldn't allow stress relief toys so her stress level would get so high she'd go full panic mode, unable to cope with the stress, any physical contact between Trisha and Rebecca would be enough to calm Rebecca but sometimes simply holding hands isn't enough and she need the hug, it's not the hug itself that matters, it's the pressure the hug provides" says Rosie

"then why not allow longer than a minute" asks Jade

"because of 'the minute test', it's a test Rebecca uses to determine if her stress level will lead to a minor panic attack or a major one, less than a minute means no panic attack, a minute means a minor but controllable panic attack, anything longer than a minute is major panic attack territory and she should be escorted out of the classroom as soon as possible for her safety as well as others safety" says Rosie

"I thought only anxiety caused panic attacks" says Coco

"anxiety based panic attacks are generally focused inwards and can lead to depression, stress based panic attacks, at least in Rebecca's situation, they're usually focused on something or someone, something repetitive enough to distract her is enough to start stressing her out, getting stressed means she can't focus on her school work, meaning she's likely to get a lower grade than she would have otherwise, the fear of getting a bad grade because of something someone else did is enough to get her to karate kick someone out of anger and frustration, trust me it's happened a few times, it's not a coincidence that they got all the same classes for the whole year, Trisha calms her down better than anyone, it's foolish to forbid her to calm her down in public settings though again, clothes on touching only outside the dorm and for as short a time as possible, outside your dorm room you are to be in some sort of covering, blanket or otherwise, if it's a blanket that covers you two fully then you maybe as naked as you want and touch for as long as you want but only in the dorm fully naked touching/exploration is ONLY to happen in your dorm room and no sticking fingers or anything inside each other between the legs period, understood Rebecca" says Rosie being firm

"yes mommy" says Rebecca as she walks over and begins opening presents with Trisha

"did she really just call you mommy, the way she said it weirds me out a bit" asks Coco

"it weirded out mom and dad too, it's not intentionally charged like that, to her it's a submissive tone not a sexually charged tone, she usually calls me sister or sis, she only says mommy when I'm laying down rules, it's her way of respecting the control mom and dad gave me over her while we go to school here, because it's technically not an open school right now in terms of guests mom and dad won't make an effort to visit, they'll call but won't come here, even when school 'starts' again in January they won't come here, honestly the big property scares them, they're afraid of messing up the names and accidentally visiting the wrong dorm and getting told to leave, so I can hand down restrictions and set rules for her, as I said the 'mommy' thing was a sign of respect, you'll see later she will go back to sis or sister" says Rosie as Spencer arrives unannounced

"ok how'd you get in" asks Freddie

"what, I said I'd visit on Christmas" says Spencer

"Carly's in lingerie I bought her for Christmas, she said she texted you saying today wasn't good, that tomorrow works better" says Freddie as Carly faints as she had been on her way over to Freddie when Spencer arrived

"I'm sorry Freddie, it's just granddad passed away and dad's on a tour of Hawaii and coming here was better than spending time with your mom" says Spencer apologetically as Freddie picks Carly up and sets her on the couch

"no it's okay, she'll understand, my mom can't decide whether she likes me with Carly or would have rather seen me date Sam again, it's complicated, she'd known Granddad wasn't doing well but Carly values her education, sometimes more than our relationship, besides she nearly ruined your friends jet by throwing up in it getting down here, she was too afraid to think about going back to Seattle to mourn let alone Yakima, you know how jittery she gets about travelling, don't tell her the lingerie was your idea, she'll get the wrong idea" says Freddie

"hey you asked for ideas, oh also she seemed depressed when we talked a few days ago, something seems to be bothering her" says Spencer

"it's Sam, what else would it be Spencer, for the past two years she thought Sam was the bad guy, the one trying to catch her almost naked on iCarly and manipulate her into a relationship, she's having a hard time with Sam dating Paige, she feels like she missed a big chance with Sam, seeing Paige absolutely love Sam, it's eating at her, if you ask me she's jealous" says Freddie

"Carly jealous, come on Freddie, Carly doesn't get jealous, not that way" says Spencer

"and yet whenever Paige and Sam are down here she's in the corner crying about Sam, calling herself a stupid dumb B***h, that she should have seen right through Sam's actions" says Freddie as Spencer's jaw drops

"Freddie, that's not her being jealous, that's her beating herself up for not seeing that her best girl friend had feelings for her, a realization like that will have her second guessing everything, even her sexuality, she'll be wondering what other signs she's missed from you or Sam, Carly may never admit it but she always loved Sam but she didn't want anyone knowing, she missed lots of signs chasing you Freddie, including Paige and Cassidy being her sisters" says Spencer

"what was she so afraid of" asks Freddie

"she was afraid that if she didn't get you to love her, that that little spark of love you had with Sam would create true love and she'd be locked out of everything and become the outcast and Sam would become the popular kid" says Spencer

"seriously, she thinks I'm the reason she's popular" asks Freddie as Sam walks over with Paige

"you are Freddie" says Sam

"I don't understand" says Freddie

"she wanted to name the webshow 'iFreddie and Carly', she was trying to find a reason to spend more time with you, she didn't want me to be apart of it at all, it was Spencer who convinced her to name it iCarly and include me, she relented even though she felt Spencer was manipulating things" says Sam

"to a degree I was Sam, I saw how you tried to integrate yourself into the family, I knew what that meant, believe it or not Carly is bisexual, she has pictures of you and her that she'd manipulate to make it look like you were kissing her, she calls the scrapbook she put them in 'impossible love' and she also has pictures of her and Freddie in a scrapbook, manipulated in the same way, that scrapbook is called 'as if', there's a few more with various people, some include you, Paige, her and Freddie, she calls them the 'wishful thinking' books, so she is open to polyamorous love" says Spencer

"but I'm her little sister, w-w-we can't date, it would be illegal" says Paige

"in no way was I suggesting a sexual relationship between you and Carly or for that matter Freddie, however you are more tech inclined than Carly, you're an invented Paige, with Freddie's help you could create new things, things people thought were impossible, if you can share Sam with Carly then she will more than likely share Freddie with you" says Spencer

"but I don't love Freddie" says Paige

"think of it this way, Carly missed a chance to be with Sam, not because she didn't want to but because she thought Sam was being forced to act like she loved Carly, it doesn't have to be a quad polyamorous relationship, it can be a fwb thing, haven't you ever missed an opportunity because you didn't think what was happening was actually happening, that's what happened with Carly and Sam" says Spencer

"a Kesha concert was in town and my only best friend offered me a ticket, I'd looked it up and the concert had been sold out for weeks and there were no radio contests, I found it suspicious that she somehow managed to get two tickets, I turned her down assuming they were fake, turns out her mom ran into Kesha and mentioned how my best friend and I were big fans and Kesha offered special back stage pass tickets, I didn't show up at school for a week, I was sooo embarrassed" says Paige

"I assure you Carly won't go where you don't want to go, she's not about that i****t life, however out of the three of you, you got the big brains that mom had, you look the most like how mom did as a kid, if I'm being serious Dad's not on tour in Hawaii, he's in a military mental hospital in Hawaii and not by choice, the last time he talked with Carly he was acting off, he was talking about sex and if she wanted to do it with him, it completely freaked out Carly" says Spencer as Carly seemingly becomes very still

"do you know what caused it, it's very obviously affected Carly, Paige I think Spencer's right, you've been where Carly is, Carly's very suicidal right now, she needs us, Carly gets time with me and you get to wrack Fredward's brain for new invention ideas, I couldn't live knowing I had a chance to keep Carly alive and chose to ignore it, quad or not Freddie can't help Carly by herself" says Sam, being truly selfless for the first time in her life

"I guess you have a point Sammy, if you think it's ok then I trust you, Spencer, any idea what caused dad to creep on Carly" says Paige

"all I know for certain is that he suffered some sort of trauma in Europe, when he came back he was supposed to take Carly with him and spend some time with him, but he talked about sex and everything was called off, I don't know what caused it but I know dad, he's not some i****t creep, that's now how he raised us, the only reason he'd creep on Carly is if he didn't remember who he was and that Carly was his daughter, come to think of it Granddad said something about dad being injured and not remembering who he was but he said he healed and that's why dad was allowed to see us but things went wrong, Carly mentioned the creepo wording and they took dad to Hawaii, without even the simplest of answers as to why" says Spencer

"does dementia or Alzheimer's run in our family" asks Cassidy stepping into the conversation as she moves Carly to the couch

"grandma had dementia before she passed, granddad had early signs of Alzheimers but it doesn't run through the family, at least not consistently, besides dad seemed normal until the last minute, it doesn't track" says Spencer as Quinn realizes something

"yes it does track Spencer, your dad doesn't have an old person disease like Alzheimer's or dementia, he suffered brain damage, it quite literally changed him, he acted normal until he was alone with Carly, aside from creeping on Carly he told her something, something that spooked her enough to lie about what he told her" says Quinn

"Uhh guys I don't think Carly's alright, she's cold, breathing but cold, you need to get a nurse in here right now" says Cassidy as Coco calls Nurse Shannon

"cold as in dead" asks Paige

"no, not yet, look at her hips, they're bruised, Freddie we're they there last night" says Cassidy

"no, why is it bad" says Freddie as Coco hangs up

"bad enough, she must have partially lost consciousness when she fell, more than usual anyway, fainting is pretty common in our family but not like this" says Cassidy as Coco hangs up her phone

"Nurse Shannon is almost here, I told her about Carly being cold, she asked that Freddie, Sam and Paige snuggle her on the couch, to keep her warm" says Coco as they follow orders

15 minutes later as Nurse Shannon finishes up the examination of Carly

"is she going to be ok" asks Paige

"she'll be fine, when she fell a nerve got pinched, making her lose consciousness, she'll be paralyzed from the knee down unless it gets worse at which point she'll be paralyzed from the waist down, as it stands she's also lost partial mobility of her left arm because of how hard she fell, she'll need help with everything, including using the bathroom and showering for at least a few weeks, the brace I just put her in will get things back to normal but it will take time, she may not have feelings from the knee to the waist for the same time period" says Nurse Shannon

"they were talking about a quad relationship or a friends with benefits thing, at this moment what would be the best thing for Carly, medically speaking" says Coco

"when she fell, the nerve that got pinched controls temperature in arms and legs, as it wasn't sending information to her brain, her body stopped circulating heat and the floor pulled what heat she did have, medically speaking Freddie can't spend every moment cuddling her to keep her warm, Paige as her sister I'd never recommend you have sex with her, however she needs cuddles and warmth, at least temporarily you need to be her family, again Paige can't have sex with her but otherwise she needs all three of you in her life, it's for her health, if she is allowed to cool down she will die, she will die of hypothermia in a warm environment" says Nurse Shannon

"she said something to you after she woke what, was it" asks Paige

"all I could make out was father and touched, she doesn't have much energy to speak, though if you're asking me to interpret it I'd say she said 'my father touched me' but again I'm going off two words from a girl who was so cold she was almost dead, for all I know the words mean nothing, or I heard her wrong, don't trust a single word out of her mouth unless it's food or water or horny related until she can hold a conversation" says nurse Shannon

"why" asks Paige

"her oxygen level was in the low fifties when I arrived, at that level the brain doesn't have enough oxygen to properly function, it can misinterpret memories or sensory input, for example she could interpret my chest compressions as an attempt to kill her or my putting my hands on her hips and above her kitten to check temperature as a sexual act and want to sue me for molesting her, when she can hold a conversation her brain will be functioning enough to properly interpret what happened" says Nurse Shannon

"will her oxygen continue to be stable after that or is there risk of it dropping again" asks Freddie

"every time she gets cold her oxygen levels will drop, she can't regulate her temperature if Sam and Paige aren't willing to help I'd suggest a heating blanket and wrapping her up in it, oh and you'll have to pick her up and take her to the bathroom when she needs to go" says Nurse Shannon

"will she know when she has to go" asks Paige

"she'll have anywhere from thirty seconds to maybe two minutes warning but due to possible numbness in that area she might not know when it starts and stops" says Nurse Shannon

"is she aware enough to consent to making love or making out" asks Sam

"right now no, in an hour or so yes but only if you keep her warm, you must share body heat now I really must go" says Nurse Shannon
