Chapter 28 – Jiana Heero

Two carloads later, seven Buffy characters had joined us at the house—and Nichi had gone back to sleep, and would probably decide the whole thing was a dream. I told them the rules, situated the vampires into the upstairs den—which conveniently had no windows—along with several people who overflowed in that direction when I opened the room to them. Then I went into my room and shut the door firmly behind myself. Collapsing on my bed, I was just glad that Trunks was finally out. I was much calmer than I had been before picking up the characters. Much, much calmer. I was finally accepting the situation, I think. Yes, there were fictitious characters in the house. Yes, Trunks Briefs apparently liked me, despite the fact that he knew next to nothing about me and would be leaving soon—and after he left we would never see each other again. But I could deal with it.

Closing my eyes, I considered staying there and not moving until dinner. I could hear Ron and Hermione discussing me and my Snape obsession outside my window, but I could deal with that. They'd probably think I was even crazier if they heard my complete top five list—Severus Snape, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Draco Malfoy, Hermione Granger—but I could deal with that. Sleep—or at least that semi-comatose state bordering on sleep—seemed like a very good idea. Nearly having an emotional breakdown was exhausting.

I opened my eyes and sat up to take off my shoes and glasses, but something else required my attention almost immediately.

A golden glare outside my window. Closing my eyes again, I nearly groaned. One of the Saiyans had gone Super. Yelling—and I blushed. Yep, that had to be the diary that Trunks read. He couldn't have read one of the ones where I discussed boys he'd never meet, or ones with no romance involved at all. It just had to be my Harry-mancing Mary-Sues. Laur had the whole murderous thing under control, but I had to go do damage control.

Sighing, I stood up and went downstairs and outside, ignoring the situation in the living room, and the fact that there were still hyper chibis. I went straight out the back door, intent on fixing the situation to the best of my abilities.
