This was a bad start to a good-ish day. All I knew and could think was that Aletta wasn't stupid. I told the kids to leave her alone because even though it was freezing, she spent 7 hours of the day there. No, she didn't have coffee with her, as she doesn't like it. My girlfriend always has preferred green/ berry mix tea. Aletta didn't move aside from re- adjusting her position.

Mostly, I had fun with the kids aside from the obvious worry on my mind. We drew to our hearts content. When I said I had to go to the bathroom, I was actually checking on the redheaded silenced women and my pending video's uploading process.

The kids and I played tag and hide and seek. Aletta had never moved an inch for 3 hours at this point. "Hands on the water, I find-" She quietly sang to herself. "That I could run away before you realize. And when the border divides. I see the darkness that is haloed in your eyes." The women's voice sounded dry and sore, even if she sang with her best voice I could tell, I didn't bother her though as she'd ignore me anyway. It was stubbornness that I promised to put up with 6 years ago and I wasn't to break that promise.

7 & a half hours later, I heard the stairs creak slowly as a bright red set of pigtails hanging in mid-air came down and a pair of red raw legs followed. Soon enough I see her emerald green tear filled eyes outlined with dripping mascara only to realise that it had been heavily raining for the past 2 hours.

"Oh my god! Aletta, are you alright?" No response was given in words but she looked at me with the most emotionally scarred face ever. It seemed as if it was to say 'Do I possibly look or sound alright!' anger was mixed in with the face soon after.

"Oh, yeah… of course you're not… Let's go and get you cleaned and warmed up!" I accidentally spoke to her like a child. When I went to go and help her she marched up the stairs after saying "No, stop talking to me like a child Mark, plus I'm fine! I don't want to change! I'm good!" Storming back upstairs she started weeping again. I turned back to the kids with a forced smile and carried on with the game of tag.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Aletta's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why-hy-hy-hy-hy?" I questioned myself. I was annoyed with myself because my friends lived so far away and they couldn't learn about what was going on, so I couldn't go to them for comfort.

"Life is so," I took a breath as well as hiccupping. "HARD, I CAN'T WIN! SURELY THEY CAN'T STAY LIKE THAT FOREVER." I couldn't help but shout. The Grumps didn't hear it… well at least I hoped not.

Later, I think it was like, 9:00pm the kids were ready to go to sleep I knew because Mark was convincing them to brush their teeth. Ever since I'd stormed of upstairs I'd lock the bedroom door and refused to answer to my boyfriend. I think he slept in the sound proofed room, but I'm still not too sure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mark's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the guest bedroom, I waited and worried about her again. The grumps were dead asleep and their spirits needed to come and visit us, like, now! I finally got Aletta to open the master bedroom door and we went down stairs and sat separately on the two different couches even though when I tried to sit next to her on one, she'd move to the other.

Eventually something, more like someone, floated down the stairs. It was Ross and Suzy.
"Hiya, how are you Mark?" Ross asked.

"I'm fine…" I said looking at Aletta sadly. "I'm fine, thanks" I said again when I looked back over she had her arms folded, she sneezed while giving me the definite death stare, looking down at the floor.

"How?" She asked. "I can't deal with this much longer, it's killing me, my mood and my soul." Aletta was too eager to be sad but too sad to be eager.

"Well," Suzy began, "You nee-" She was interrupted by Aletta who said, "YOU NEED LOVE! I knew there was a reason for that unusual anime quote to be floating around my head. Thank you great goddess Aya Hinaro." Aletta seemed very annoyed with herself.

"Wait, what?" I said, looking very confused.

"I think," Suzy said. "I think Aletta, here and my husband will be good friends."
