Summary: After a ridiculously long amount of time, I decided to update (inspired by Caspian's DOUBLE UPDATE in June.) Anyway, this little ditty is all about our favourite Irish blonde and her trials and tribulations. I realize the Greenpeace idea is silly but I liked it and the pairing isn't so popular (yes, the older sister/good friend is Holly) but I like it and it's a tribute to Ophelia who's no longer writing for this site, but was an excellent author.
And mucho gracias to all my lovely reviewers, you guys rock my socks
And Maybe
I really hate planes. The food is gross, the seats are too small (I don't know how the lady across from me is managing) and they smell like hospitals. Ew.
The only good thing about them is the other passengers. Take the girl beside me for example: she's gorgeous and blonde, all long legs and big eyes. Her hair is in a thick braid, ending in a jade ring and her nails are painted green to match. She looks vaguely sad, but sad with style nonetheless.
She's obviously Irish, her accent was unmistakable when she put in her order for dinner. She also reminds me of a martial artist, graceful, relaxed and completely prepared for anything all at the same time. Wish I could do that.
Who knows, maybe she's erstwhile youngest daughter of a famed family of bodyguards, fully trained to kick anyone's arse but had a revolutionizing experience and realized there's no joy in violence so is now going to America to work for Greenpeace.
And maybe, she's leaving behind the only family she has, her older brother and his arrogant, but good-at-heart, rich, handsome, young charge behind in Ireland. And she's sad because she'll miss them and doesn't know if they can manage to keep themselves out of trouble long enough to still be alive when she comes back for Christmas hols.
And maybe she's also secretly in love with the rich young charge's fiery, fey, older sister (or maybe just good friend) who only visits once in a while because she lives far away. But the sister doesn't like her and she knows it so she's forgotten she's in love, but it's still there, whispering in the back of her mind, trying to make her remember.
And maybe she can't wait to get to America but she doesn't know if it's the right thing to do because no one she knows has ever done this before. But she's smart and beautiful so she knows she'll be alright; she just wishes she could have someone she loves with her, because no matter how many times she turns away the boys who line up at her door, she's lonely.
And maybe she's ready to make a fresh start and move on, knowing she has a home to come back to if it doesn't work out.
Or maybe she's just a model on vacation. Who knows?
