Day Seven the final Day
As you people recall the story is entitled One Week seven days seven chapters this is the final chapter. At any rate here we go.
The next day it was 10 in the morning before Danni and Lesley even remotely stirred. The week had been exhausting and they just wanted to lay like broccoli and vegge. Bo actually got them out of bed. He needed to go out for a walk. Lesley groaned and didn't bother to get dressed. She just grabbed a long over coat Danni had in the closet and a rope to attach to Bo's collar. She walked him. Lesley returned when Danni was up and getting dressed. "So what are we going to do with evil little selves today?" Lesley asked. She yawned and sat down in a chair.
"I was thinking of doing nothing… Today's Sunday and we don't have an escort to church." Danni shrugged. "Unless you want to go?" Lesley shook her head. They didn't talk for a while, just lazed around the room fiddling with stuff. Danni got out a sketch book and did a quick drawing of Lesley. She was not remarkably talented but it made for entertainment. Lesley thumbed through the Harlequin Romance book; it hardly interested her.
"You know what," Danni said off handedly. She was sitting on the floor with her back to the bed and Bo across her feet. Lesley was lying across the bed with Salem over her back.
"Hmm?"
"You probably never watched this show, but Elliot from Law and Order SVU is seriously hot."
Lesley mulled over the new information. "Yea, he is; kinda looks like Tavington."
Danni laughed and looked up at her. "Yeah, I guess, only that guy is so much hotter." They snickered. "But at any rate, the television is something I miss about the 21st century."
"Yes, it keeps you from reading these books and going insane." Lesley got up and looked out the window. "I mean, how can you read that crap?"
Danni stood up and her back popped in multiple places. Lesley cringed. "Yeah, I know, but on a long trip these and Lori Wick are my best friends." Lesley looked out into the yard and smiled as the soldiers milled around the courtyard. They were heedless of what was to come, how the times were going to change and everything else that was going to come in the near and distant future. It truly was a sobering thought. She looked at the room around her. It was like a private getaway from the reality that was war. Danni was annoying her cat with a piece of string. "So what do you do for fun when your not tormenting people?" Danni shrugged.
"Nothing really, sit around, doodle, be bored typical stuff." She replied petting her cat. It attacked her and she jerked back. "Fat head." She pushed his head. "So how did you get here?" Danni asked. They exchanged stories and sat around for a little while.
"So," Lesley started as she looked at Danni pointedly. "What's your real name?"
"Danni" She retorted.
"no it's not, come on it's not like I'm going to tell anyone." Lesley begged mockingly. Danni shook her head. "What were you raped or something and feel like you have to butch up?"
She just gave her a pointed little look. "No" She snorted. "I come from suburbia." Lesley nodded thoughtfully. "What about you, I mean I get the whole daddy's a mobster thing, but honestly, you don't strike me as the mob type." Lesley shrugged. She just continued playing with Danni's lipstick, rolling it up and back down. "All right, well this is boring…" Danni got up and walked around the room. "hey, what's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to you?" Lesley just began laughing.
"Look, you're delicate little ears couldn't handle it." She chortled. Danni just shivered. "Actually, his name was Ben Martin." She smiled at the memory.
"The Ben Martin!" Danni spun around and cringed. "Ew, that's worse than the bedroom thing with O'Hara and Tavington." Lesley laughed. "He's old!"
"So is Tavington" Lesley pointed out. "and I thought you like guys with black hair and blue eyes."
"Yea, I do, but I've seen Martin in history books, yuck much?" Danni asked.
Lesley began laughing loudly. "You sounded like a really Valley girl?"
Danni glared at her. She took her voice a pitch higher. "Like really? That is so like totally weird, because I like am so like totally not."
Lesley raised an eyebrow. "You do that a little too well." Danni laughed at her friend. "So, what about you?"
"What about me, like I said I lived in a neighborhood where nothing 'cept maybe the occasional suicide, happened." Danni sat down on the bed and turned upside down. Lesley raised an eyebrow. "I went to a small Christian school. Rosie, Ruthie, and me made up the majority of our class." She shrugged. "Well, once, it was the first snow of the season and we were all outside playing. Now, mind you, the girls wear knee length skirts and I was knee-socks that day (don't recommend that). Some one chased me with a snow ball and I tripped. My skirt went over my head." Danni said blushing with embarrassment. Lesley fell on the floor laughing. Then she got pelted in the face pillow. Danni began giggling. They had a small pillow fight.
"You know what, I never had a normal childhood." Lesley said flopping backwards into the vanity chair. "I didn't really get to do the girlfriend thing. I don't know what Cornwallis is going to do about me, but this has been fun."
"Yea, it's cool to have some one to be devious with once and while. Plus, you're not scured of Tavington." Lesley rolled her eyes. "Hey, the man intimidates me!" Lesley chuckled. "All right, what do you miss the most about the 21st century?"
Lesley thought long and hard. "It's a toss up between gasoline for my Bronco and indoor plumbing." She said the first part with a little tear coming to her eye.
"Yea," Danni nodded in agreement. "I had just gotten my license, didn't really have a chance to get attached." They sat quietly for a few minutes again. There was nothing to be said by either. They just reminisced their old lives. "My butt's gone numb." Danni said randomly. Lesley just began laughing.
"You know what I'm suddenly craving ice cream."
"FOOD!" Danni hollered. Lesley nearly jumped out of her skin. "I miss that too. Fast food, hot guys that worked at Starbucks."
"Oh my word…" Lesley groaned. "You nearly gave me a heart attack." Lesley threw her pillow and hit Danni in the back of the head. Danni just glared at her.
"I should be so lucky." Danni muttered. "You want I should ring the bell for lunch?" Danni looked at her.
"Yes, but I don't wanna go down stairs, that mean's I have to put that wretched dress on." Lesley shivered. Danni snorted. She went over to a large tassel by the bed and pulled it. A few minutes later the maid appeared. "Hey, would you go down to the kitchen and have Cook send up some plates to us. We're not feeling well enough to go down." The girl nodded and curtsied.
"Yes, miss, Right away."
The Cook sent up a delicious brunch of eggs, toast, jam, tea and some turkey. They sat on the bed as it was the most comfortable place. They ate quickly and quietly occasionally giving some to their pets. "So Danni, did you ever have any plans for your life?" Lesley asked picking her teeth.
Danni swallowed her toast hard. "Yup, I was going to collage majoring in Market Research, and minoring in art." She smiled. "You?"
"Well, nothing much really. I was getting this cleared up then I was going to just live a simple life." Lesley shrugged with a yawn.
"As normal as a mob boss's daughter can be?" Danni laughed. They settled down and were quite. "I think I'm going to take a nap."
Lesley yawned. "That sounds like a good idea." She closed her brown eyes and waited for sleep to over come her.
"Doctor, it's finished." She heard a foreign voice say. In the back of her mind Lesley was wondering what was finished, and who was this doctor.
Suddenly she felt her head thump against something hard. She sighed and rubbed the spot. Lesley opened her brown eyes and found herself looking out the back of a wagon. There were red coat soldiers in front of her. She sighed; this was a strange dream. She felt something warm on her feet and looked down to see Bo. He was scared. She then realized it wasn't a dream. Tavington and O'Hara were probably playing some elaborate joke on them. It was only a matter of time before it happened. Well this was a good trick. She sighed and looked at the officer. "Hey, I'm looking for Danni Davis." He raised an eyebrow and continued walking.
The jostling that woke her, or maybe it was that she heard someone calling her name. It was a familiar voice, but one that seemed distant over the past week. She knew it well. Slowly Danni opened her eyes. She sat a little straighter and felt her back pop. Her hand was asleep and she looked at the sketchpad in it. There was the sketch she had done of some one. In the right hand corner she could see the name Lesley. Was she asleep dreaming that she was awake, wondering if she was asleep? That was too complicated. Danni shook her head.
In the dark corners of his office the doctor went over his calculations again. "How could it have possibly gone wrong?" He muttered over and over again. "I was so careful."
"Doctor," His assistant stated. "It doesn't matter now, it's finished." In the background, the green whir of lights could be seen. It reflected eerily on the two figures standing in the shadows. They didn't matter anyway, because it was all over now. Nothing left but the idea of a wonderful dream. Those two girls shared over time and space.
