Balor use to say I had not enough quite moments.. That's literary what this chapter is.. Just characters hanging out..
Several days earlier:
Dash was still at the hospital, the boys were off doing the dirty cop mission. And even Carly left while Dash was sleeping, instead suddenly came in Carly's sister Blake. Though their twins Dash saw enough settle changes to know it wasn't Carly. Who herself admitted to Blake that when they finally did hang out, Carly had next to nothing in common with Dash, so said maybe Blake will have better luck. Blake decided to try, having nothing really better to do at the moment.
"Your sister's a good kid." Dash responded.
''So they keep telling me.'' Blake chuckled.
''She said you two didn't have much in common though, said I should try instead.'' Blake added.
''Mainly it was because she kept changing the radio channel whenever Offspring or Nirvana started playing.. Really insisted on George or whoever, I don't know, I don't like blues.'' Dash admitted.
''Ooo, yikes, that explains right there.'' Blake chuckled. ''But you're like my boyfriend, he likes punk metal two. He even got me into it, mostly Offspring.'' Blake added, which makes Dash sit up a bit, more excited now. ''Yeah, in fact, here, was gonna throw this away, but…'' Blake said before tossing Dash a new Togue/beanie hat. A dark black one with the Offspring logo. An orange flaming skull, the band name written below.
''Oh thank you, I needed a new one.'' Dash said, putting it in her pocket and later into her car. Blake smiles, excited to tell Carly how well it's going. Suddenly another woman burst in, against the wishes of several nurses telling her to stop or least slow down. Dash barely gets a word out before the hug invades her, only stopped when saying it still hurts.
''Who are you?'' Blake asked, smirking a bit.
''She's my sister.'' Dash groaned, mostly from the returned pain. ''She looks kinda high.'' Blake said, noticing the girl's red eyes.
''It's Sally's solution to most things.'' Dash teased.
''Says the drunk.'' Sally teased back.
''Wait, I think CJ mentioned you.. Long story.'' Blake said, suddenly recognizing her backwards hat and green from a photo.
''Mine two. But short version I'm in an actual gang, not one of those fake tough guy things, a legit gang. There was even a hazing. I had to take like 7 shots of fireball whiskey and not puke.. Harder than it sounds.'' Sally explained.
''Was supposed to be something far more serious, like a drive-by shooting, but my now boyfriend, Franklin, made them swear not to. As at the time I never even held a gun, let alone killed anyone.. My first time was actually to protect Frank. On our first date no less.. I didn't regret it.'' she added.
''I know the feeling.. I shot someone trying to kidnap Carly when she was 12.'' Blake replied.
''At 14 I smashed a frying pan onto a home robber and he ended up dead.'' Dash added.
''I like you two, let's get some pizza.'' Blake said, the other two nodding. Saly lifting up Dash, who's actually healed now. ''Sure, let me just sober up.'' Sally replied.
About a day later, Blake excitedly leads Dash over to Michael's house as she doesn't have a TV at her's. Once opening the door they are blocked by Amanda who is rude to both, Dash for drinking all her expensive bourbons last time and Blake for being 'not allowed'. Amanda is just as bad as she is to Carly if not possibly worse, and backhand slaps Blake for talking back.
Dash doesn't respond well, pinning Amanda onto the nearest wall and pulling her Glock17 on her. ''You have five seconds..'' Dash said, rather calmly.
"Alright, I'm sorry! I'll never do it again!" Amanda responded. Though I'm sure it's not true.
Dash throws herself off Amanda, who immediately runs away in panic. Straightening her dirty green beanie Dash checks on Blake, who's fine and already lifted herself up.
''Sorry about that, it's not enough she kicked me out, now she has to act like there's a restraining order or something.'' Blake groaned.
''Parents suck. Now should we find that Halloween film?'' Dash asked, revealing it's now where the last chapter left off.
On the otherside, while Michael was out with Packie and Niko, Carly tracked down Pinkie, after hearing all Lazlow's abuse of her on the radio and frankly Carly is lonely and wanted a friend her own age, well Pink is year older but still.
Sure enough Lazlow is still mocking her even off air and actually yelling at her for even minor offenses. Carly straight up punches him, which is enough to make him run off screaming in horror. As Carly expected, Pinkie is even lonelier than she is. So Carly calls Seras to have them hang at her apartment, as Mallorie is having a house party and Carly would feel awkward as the only kid. Seras agrees to this, though inexchange for the helmet, Carly saying it's a deal. Seras actually leaves them at her house.
Seras lives on the top level of a very public apartment. In fact you can tell Seras doesn't get many guests as she has a small place, not much bigger than a collage dorm. One with multiplier doors. The one in the middle is a small slightly claustrophobic bathroom, the other two are bedrooms.
The smaller one on the left is guest bedroom which is mostly made into her office, which has a police radio on her desk, next to papers. There's only a single person bed, again she doesn't get much company.
The bigger one on the right has a queen bed which is obviously her bedroom. There's severall Van Halen posters in there and a photo of Seras and Carly on her lamp. Next to one of Interga with ''miss you'' wrote on. The guest bed has a union jack over the bed. Showing her pride of her company. In the main room there's a small tv next to a loveseat couch. There's several movies thrown around the TV, mostly from the 80's. She even has Nightmare on Elms street and Cast Away.
''Huh. Not bad.'' Pinkie said, looking around. ''Yeah..'' Carly said, picking up the Interga picture. Seras mentioned her a few times, but not much.. Sadly she died before my series, part of why Seras moved. Too many memories.
''She said we can have her leftovers for dinner.'' Carly said to Pinkie, who goes to the fridge, seeing mostly spaghetti and some Cluckin Bell. ''Guess it's spaghetti.'' Pinkie said, grabbing said leftovers. Putting it in Seras's microwave. While waiting she gets a text.
''Where U at? Lazlow.''
Pinkie immediately presses delete to it.
