twenty four

A week in New York went much quicker than Quinn hoped. Before she knew it, she was back at her apartment, sitting in the dark, trying to recollect everything that had happened in the past few months. Everything always happened so fast, that unless she was on her toes, Quinn just got dizzy. 

"Hey honey," Tiki was brushing against Quinn's calves that hung from over the bed. Quinn reached down and picked up her cat who nuzzled against her touch. 

This small, ordinary action made Quinn want to cry. It had been so long since she felt normal. Quinn was the happiest she'd been in years, but she was so used to change now, that the one thing that remained constant, her cat, had made her almost burst into tears. 

Quinn knew she had to get a grip. There was something stirring in her that just said, go live. And Quinn wanted to listen to that voice. 

She moved to her desk, still holding Rose. She wasn't gonna tweet it out, or ask anyone to play, Quinn just wanted to go and play Minecraft, just like she used to. 

"Hey guys." Quinn didn't turn her face cam on today, she looked a little too drained. It was almost instantly that she saw his name in chat. 

dreamwastaken my girl :) 

dreamwastaken have a good stream <3

Quinn smiled to her self. "Today is gonna be more of a chill day, I'm probably just gonna do some building on the SMP, work myself up to big projects again, but I've missed you guys, and I wanna hang out for a bit." 

The response on the SMP was immediate. She hit tab to see who was on, and in chat she was getting yelled at by a child. 

TommyInnit QUINN WUNN QUINN 

TommyInnit DO YOU HAVE TNT???

"This cannot be good," Quinn said to chat, sprinting to where Tommy's house was. She saw the group standing there, Tommy, Tubbo, Wilbur and Ranboo were all gazing at the structure in front of them. Quinn wondered why Tommy didn't just ask Wilbur for the TNT. 

Ranboo vc3, if youre interested. 

Quinn was intrigued, but couldn't let herself stay around for long. 

"Quinnivere!" Wilbur greeted cheerfully, "How was New York with Dream?" 

"It was pretty good! I am glad to be home though," she gave short answers when asked stuff like that, wanting to stay pretty private about her trip. Luckily enough, Tommy took over the conversation, yelling about how he needed a fresh start, how this house reminded him of all the bad shit that happened to him on the server, and Quinn wondered if this meant that she had interrupted some lore. 

She asked Wilbur privately if this was scripted, and Wilbur replied with a simple "It's just Tommy being Tommy." 

So she helped the group gather TNT, so that Tommy could blow up his house and build a new one. It was simple enough, and if it turned into lore later on, Quinn got to be a part of the origin story. 

Her stream was actually a lot of fun. Quinn loved when she got to hang out with the British boys, because she spent so much time around her Florida guys. Although the second she ended stream there was something that hit her like a truck. 

She missed Clay so much.

It washed over Quinn the second she was offline. It was as if someone had thrown a bucket of water on her, and she was soaking wet.

This scared Quinn a little bit, because it was the first time she had a chance to sit down and think about how much she actually cared about him. They had always been friends, so of course, she cared about him, but now it was as if that care went deeper.
