Mira was crying. When did she start crying? She wasn't crying before. Ami made her cry. Any sort of assertive energy left Ami, a mass exodus of spine and willpower. She said she was done. But seeing Mirabella like that, it... "F-" Something caught in Ami's throat. She didn't know what it w...

(Sorry dudes and dudettes, we have to jet!) Ami turned her head away so Garrett wouldn't see her rolling her eyes. He started asking questions that she had no intention of answering. She didn't owe him anything , let alone an explanation. Her eyes turned to look straight at Finn, Mira and Matt, an o...

Garrett asked Ami why. Ami looked at him but soon diverted her gaze. She couldn't look at him straight in the face. There was a long pause before she responded. "Because Mallory deserves better. And Carlon and Alex deserve that same respect." Did she know that he was asking about why she k...

Ami saw Garrett before the door even fully opened. Her eyes, already adjusted to the dark, caught the sound of the door and the outline of his face. She didn't react though, merely kept him in the corner of her eye. His body jerked, and immediately she knew it wasn't just because of the bodies. It d...

Mallory wasn't killed in the hospital. She was carried by someone else and dumped at the entrance. Could have been alive long after she was shot. It was all pure deduction, really. The first place people turn to when someone is wounded is a hospital, and the knot tied around Mallory's leg suggested ...

... "You should find Phoebe. You guys make a good couple." In the time between the question and the answer, Darren edged closer. His heels met the edge. "Sorry." His heels left the edge. He closed his eyes and pretended the concrete was the ocean. Darren didn't fall. He swan-dive...

Darren appreciated the honesty. Marcus was a nice guy. He wasn't going to lie to him, or butter him up, not like Phoebe. Darren liked Phoebe but she had that air about her whenever his mother would insist on telling him that Santa Claus was real. Anyone else would have rolled their eyes but Darren? ...

"I don't know." It was the truth, after all. Darren had no reason to lie to Marcus. Marcus had been there for Darren, just like Phoebe. But the fact that he wasn't sure, that he couldn't give Marcus a straight answer? It hurt. Really hurt. Darren's face melted into a sad smile. He kept his...

"Oh." The only response he could conjure. Outwardly stale, inwardly beside himself. Darren continued to stare out on the ocean, thinking to himself. A better retort came soon after. "So the wedding didn't happen." He closed his eyes. "I didn't hear your names on the announce...

Darren spun his head around and saw Marcus. He smiled when he saw him, of course, but it petered off almost immediately when he saw only Marcus. No Phoebe or Michael. Just him. Something about that made him... "... Hey Marcus." Darren turned his attention back to the ocean. "I guess t...

(Darren Fox continued from Adam, Eve and Steve .) Darren thought he could get used to them. They will go away, he told himself. He chose to believe that. You never get used to nightmares, especially the recurring ones that are inflicted days upon weeks upon months. No matter how often they come, you...

This wasn't right though. It just wasn't. Darren tried his best just to forget about it. Even a few minutes later, instead of moving on, it just continued to nag at him. Why would someone just... leave? Was he worried they were going to pull some prank on him? It didn't make any sense! Darren sat up...

Phoebe had been nice enough to show them the ropes with using plant life to make rings. Despite how ordinary, Darren felt equally amazed and immersed in the work, and he started smiling again soon enough. But then Tim dropped everything, turned and ran off. Darren sat on the ground, stems between hi...

Darren looked at Tim for a very long moment. When it came apparent that the air was quickly becoming stale and uncomfortable, Darren turned his head to look at Marcus, teeth pressed deep against his lip. He figured he wasn't the only one who was feeling the tension. "He's probably just as nervo...

Darren clapped his hands together as Marcus said the magic worlds. He had the biggest smile on his lips and the bubbling laughter in his belly felt really, really good. It was from a combination of everything; Phoebe forcing her composure, Marcus's little comment, the way Phoebe fumbled with the gra...
