A/N: Frank is a short-form last name in this instance
September 10th
"hey Cassidy how are you" asks Mr. Frank
"who are you" asks Cassidy
"I'm your father" says Mr. Frank
"no you must be my boss" says Cassidy
"what's happening to her" asks Mrs. Frank
"Gerald popped a sandwich bag full of the lethal memory problem drug in her mouth, she's lucky to be alive" says Alex cuddling Cassidy
"are you with her now" asks Mrs. Frank
"more or less" says Robbie
"why isn't she saying anything" asks Mrs. Frank
"this was Gerald's plan this time, she's wavering in and out of consciousness, her ability to form sentences has been diminished drastically at this time, she may bounce back or she might not, for the time being we are her voice" says Robbie
"he deserves to be dead for this" says Mr. Frank
"I agree but that's up to the court right now, an emergency trial is taking place due to the frequency of the attacks with that drug along with the fact that he escaped the mental facility, the jury is expected to rule later today" says Alex
"are you both with her" asks Mr. Frank
"it's what's best for her, her best chance of healing is with full support from us, that's why I asked you to move the parlor here, Cassidy may not be able to work but Alex and I can, this way one of us can be with her at all times" says Robbie
"we brought the chest freezer full of ice-cream and plugged it in and told our regulars that for the time being the parlor would be here" says Mr. Frank
"I'm sure Ellen will love that, she loved your little store, she'd always come in for candy or Ice cream" says Robbie
"Ellen is our biggest supporter, be sure to give her and Hannah a free cone of their usual, they're just so cute together" says Mrs. Frank
"I know right, I don't see them ever breaking up, they're just so adorable" says Robbie
"oh I hadn't even realized they were together, that makes it even more adorable" says Mrs. Frank
"they don't do the stuff you guys do right" asks Mr. Frank
"I don't even do that stuff yet Mr. Frank, I'm only just starting but I don't want to talk about that with you" says Robbie
"ooh play time" says Cassidy expectedly
"what's play time" asks Mr. Frank
"I did say I was just starting that stuff, Cassidy is very receptive to it, it seems to help make brain connections for her, which brings back some memories" says Robbie
"so she needs your guy's touching her to be able to remember things" asks Mrs. Frank
"at this time it would seem so, when it first happened she managed to rope me into doing it, which is the only complex mental act she's been able to accomplish thus far, it would seem her brain is using the chemicals produced during said act to rewire her brain and connect things together that that drug ripped apart" says Alex
"ok then just know I told them you'd open tomorrow, they want to see Cassidy too so maybe a video screen should be in the works, I've been told there are donations coming as well, anyway we should go, if you don't mind making sure she takes a bath regularly that would be good" says Mr. Frank as they get ready to leave
"hug first" says Cassidy pointing to her parents
"did she just make a leap" asks Mrs. Frank
"when she's in the mood her brain works a little better, she must have noticed your eyes Mrs. Frank, she has your eyes" says Robbie as Mr. and Mrs. Frank hug their daughter
"indeed she does, take care of her" says Mrs. Frank
"I will I promise you that, if it is possible she will be back to normal" says Robbie as Mr. Frank nods and leaves with his wife
"play time play time" says Cassidy
"Alex or me today Cass" asks Robbie
"i-I-i-I don't know I can't choose…Alex was down there yesterday so I guess you, maybe if you both get involved I'll remember my name" says Cassidy
"Cassidy Isabelle Frankstone-Romaro is your name" says Alex
"I'll never remember that" says Cassidy as Alex gets ready as does Robbie
With Ellen
"I'm sad that the Ice-cream store moved" pouts Ellen
"Ellen for the last time they moved it to Robbie's house so him and Alex can take care of Cassidy and still work, most likely it's a temporary thing" says Cat
"oh like 'take care of her' or like actually take care of her" asks Ellen
"why did you use quotes around it the first time" asks Cat confused
"because when she works she talks about Alex and how they almost became a couple then how Robbie was just irresistible, is it bad that's where my mind went, I know she almost died a couple days ago but still" says Ellen
"I guess in that context it could be the first take care but I don't see Robbie willingly dating Cassidy and Alex, I don't think he's that flexible mentally" says Cat
"how many times is Tori going to be in bed with Andre, I miss cuddling her, she has warm things in her chest pillows, it helps calm Hannah and I down" says Ellen
"it's a healing process Ellen, Tori was abused by the last guy she trusted, for Tori it's about establishing that Andre isn't like that, that she can trust him no matter if she's naked or fully dressed, why is it concerning you" says Jade
"it's just she promised us we could cuddle any time and Hannah and I wanted to cuddle last night with Tori and we walked in on them, it scared us" says Ellen
"I'll go talk to them" says Cat as she walks up to Tori, Sadie and Andres room
"what's up" asks Andre as Tori sleeps
"you scared Ellen and Hannah last night, Tori had promised them that they could come cuddle at any time, they walked in on you guys doing it" says Cat
"we know, yesterday was the first day of her next step dose and it drowned her in her memories of what Dean did to her, she was hoping having sex would help push them out, it wasn't our intent to scare them but she didn't want them to see her freaking out, it was getting pretty bad" says Andre
"you have to make it up to them" says Cat
"bring them in here, I need to explain to them why" says Andre as Cat proceeds to do so and stays in the room to hear the explanation
"you scared us" says Hannah
"I realize that and I'm very sorry you had to see that, you have to understand it was never our intention to let you see either of us in that position, her puff dose just went up yesterday and she wasn't handling it well, she was flooded with bad memories, she'd hoped that having me do that would push those memories away, we didn't realize just how good the sound proofing of these walls really was, we were under the assumption that people would at least hear something coming from the room telling them not to enter, we apologize for that, we should have known better, can you forgive us" says Andre
"does she like it" asks Ellen
"yes, again we never meant for you to see that, she's sleeping right now, maybe it's time we look at another method to push memories away, come up on the bed and cuddle her with me" says Andre as the girls get up on the bed and cuddle Tori with Andre
"she smell pretty" says Hannah
"thanks, it's a perfume I bought for her back in LA, it's called Strawberry mist, she absolutely loved it, it seems to keep her calm which is good" says Andre as Ellen kisses Hannah right in front of him
"I love you Hannah" says Ellen
"I love you too Ellen" says Hannah
"did you really have to do that right in front of me" asks Andre
"hey maybe next time put a sign on the door, that's what my parents do" says Ellen
"so this is revenge" asks Andre
"kinda, that perfume is calming, even to us" says Ellen
"do you really love one another that much" asks Andre as Tori wraps her arms around Hannah and Ellen as she wakes up
"obviously they do Andre, this was a nice surprise girls, we should do this more often, I'm sorry about last night, I hope you didn't see too much" says Tori
"I mean we mostly saw your special place and that's it, is it not supposed to have hair" says Ellen
"generally yes but I especially find it gets itchy so I wax or shave it" says Tori
"so the itch isn't just a me thing, I'm glad about that I was starting to think something went up there when I got caught by that storm" says Ellen
"if Andre leaves I can show you how to safely clean it" says Tori
"why does he have to leave" asks Ellen as Andre goes to eat
"because you like to tell people stories just like I tend to Ellen, we can't have you going around telling people Tori cleaned your special place and that Andre watched because people would assume Tori was prepping you so Andre could Rape you and we can't have that because Andre is not that kind of person" says Cat
"well he just left, is it safe to show you that place" asks Ellen
"yes but only if you feel comfortable, my sole intention is to get rid of the itch, not to touch you there, please understand that" says Tori as Hannah and Ellen take off their underwear
"we feel safe Tori it's ok" says Hannah as her speech is clearly getting better
"Hannah you have a rash, Cat would you mind getting the razor and cleaning Hannah up so we can fix that" says Tori
"yup no problem" says Cat as she goes to get the razor
"what about me" asks Ellen as Cat returns and closes the door
"you have more hair than I'd have expected for your age, that could explain the itchy-ness" says Ellen as Tori throws a blanket over her preventing her from seeing Hannah while Cat shaves Hannah
"to be fair Tori the Valentine family is known to have excess bush" says Cat
"funny my family is average but mine is generally low as it is, I don't have much" says Tori as Cat finishes up and has Hannah put her underwear back on
"what does waxing feel like" asks Ellen pulling the blanket off of her
"it can be quite hot, can you handle heat" says Tori
"I think so" says Ellen as Tori gets out the strips
"Hannah that looks like a rug burn rash, what happened" asks Cat
"I couldn't help it I had to release the feelings, it was just bottled up, I couldn't handle it" says Hannah as she stares at Ellen's special place
"I wasn't blaming you Hannah, I've been there, I know it isn't easy, it's just it can get infected, next time let me know so we can fix it sooner ok" says Cat as Tori finishes with Ellen
"does that feel better" asks Tori
"way better, thanks, how often do you do that" asks Ellen putting her underwear back on
"that depends on how fast it grows, everyone is different, given how much you had I'd say maybe a week" says Tori
"based on my experience it's more like a week and a half, either way Ellen keep an eye on it, if the itching doesn't come back with the hair then we need to find out what you could have been exposed to that could cause that, it is important ok" says Cat
"ok Catty I understand, it's important to keep tabs on the itch" says Ellen
"Tori, I just wanna say your special place was very beautiful, I kinda stared at it, Ellen had to pull me away" says Hannah
"I noticed you stared at Ellen's too as I was cleaning it, given you two are together I'm not surprised you'd stare, also thanks for the compliment, this new dose is a tough one and compliments make me feel better, please just don't tell anyone outside this house that you saw it ok they might get the wrong idea" says Tori
"I understand, I'm sorry for staring" says Hannah as the girls run to their room as if nothing happened
"I'm glad they trusted us to trim down there, I know I wouldn't have trusted anyone to do mine like that, not even Sadie" says Tori
"Daren is all about trust, he's a good parent and the public sees him as such" says Cat
