RP with Rachel/Raven

[dawn_is_breaking]

[It took a little longer than expected to plan out all the details and secure a firm date for their girl's night but finally Dawn had booked a flight and hotel and made the long journey from Paris to San Francisco, giving herself one day to sleep off the jet lag and then the next day it's time to meet Rachel.

She feels excited but also a little nervous, it feels like a lot has happened between then and now and she hopes nothing will be weird between them. She's missed Rachel a lot and when she arrives at the coffee shop they agreed to meet at she sits down on the patio, taking out her phone to shoot Rachel a text that says:]

I'm here.

[feelthedarkness]

[ It's been too long since Rachel last saw Dawn. She wishes it could be different. She really misses her. But things are always so complicated. So she's thrilled that Dawn's able to come to San Francisco and spend some time with her. She's excited for all the plans they made.

It's easy enough for Rachel to get away too. And as soon as she gets Dawn's text she's on her way to the cafe. She arrives and spots her right away, her smile brightens just upon seeing her friend. Rachel realizes she looks different than the last time Dawn's seen her, for one thing her hair is now completely white. ]

Hey, Dawn.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[Dawn breaks out into a smile that truly is like her name, warm and bright as the morning sun.]

Hey you.

[She says happily and gets up so she can give Rachel a big hug. Gar always used to tell her that she gave the best hugs and she hopes that's still true.]

It's so good to see you!

[feelthedarkness]

[ Dawn definitely gives the best hugs. Gar was on point with that. Rachel clings to her. Not only because it's been so long but because so much had happened. ]

Good to see you too!

[dawn_is_breaking]

[Dawn can feel a lump of emotion catch in her throat and she hugs Rachel even tighter, not really caring that she's close to tears at seeing her friend. Dawn has never been one to hide her emotions but finally she pulls back a little, smiling even though her eyes are damp.]

You look incredible, even though you're trying to steal my look.

[She teases, meaning the white hair.]

[feelthedarkness]

[ Rachel laughs a little at this. Though she's not sure Dawn will be laughing when she tells her what happened. ]

Oh um, this happened when I lost my powers. It was...a whole thing.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Well you're welcome to tell me all about it, or not.

[She says and gives her another shorter squeeze.]

It's up to you how much you want to talk about Titans stuff, okay?

[feelthedarkness]

Okay.

[ Rachel isn't sure how much she should say, but she also would appreciate Dawn's input on it. And she knows she probably can't have fun until she gets it all off her chest. So she summarizes everything that's been happening, including finding and losing her half brother and losing her powers and getting them back. And oh yeah, the world might be ending... ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

[ooc: just a note that I haven't seen titans season 4 yet (I hope to download it this weekend) but I'm cool with spoilers and will have to gloss over Dawn's reaction a bit since I don't know all the details.]

[Dawn listens quietly and calmly as Rachel catches her up on everything that's been happening and when she's all done she pulls her in for another long hug. She can't fix anything that's happened, nor can she fix the issue with the world possibly ending but one thing she can do is give comfort.]

I love you.

[She says softly as she hugs the younger girl.] And I'm proud of how strong you've become.

[feelthedarkness]

[OOC: No worries on that, I just finished the last ep today. Forever mad at HBO max]

[ The hug is appreciated. Rachel feels better already after speaking to Dawn. ]

I love you too. Can't say I feel all that strong though.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[ooc: So mad at them!!]

That's because you're running on empty and are exhausted from having to process all of that. [Dawn says as she gently lets go.]

But that's going to change with a whole bunch of pampering and girl talk, right?

[feelthedarkness]

[OOC: All the good shows are getting canceled, it's infuriating!]

Yes, lots of all that.

[ Honestly, Rachel already feels lighter. So much has happened in the past few years and it's seemed like one trauma after another. Truly taking a night off would be good for her. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

[ooc: I know right? Blugh.]

[Dawn has always thought that it's important they take nights off, it's something Dick never wanted to do but still appreciated when she made him do it from time to time and now she's more than happy to do the same for Rachel.]

Well then I think the first thing you need is to get yourself a nice coffee along with a treat.

[feelthedarkness]

[ OOC: I hope you can watch soon and then we can chat! Do you have plurk or Discord? Also, sorry for being slow sometimes. There are some days I'm too busy or too tired to answer tags. ]

Coffee and a treat sounds good. Thanks again for this, Dawn. I don't think I realized hoe much I needed it till I got here.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[ooc: I actually just watched up to episode 6 over the weekend and my friend is getting me the next 6 episodes this weekend. :) And no worries for being slow.]

Anytime, sweetheart. We should have done this long ago but moving forward I'd like to try and make it a more regular thing.

[feelthedarkness]

[ OOC: What do you think so far? ]

I would love that, honestly.

[ She'd also love if things could be normal again, but she supposes there is no real going back after all that's happened. And what's normal anyway? A setting on the washer? ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

[ooc: I like that they went more horror/scary and I loved Lex Luthor. I've never been a fan of him before but the way they did him was so damn cool, so I was sad he died at the end of the first episode XD ]

[Dawn smiles and gives her another quick hug.]

Me too. I've forgotten how nice it is to have family and friends. I've been living a rather solitary life in Paris.

[feelthedarkness]

[ OOC: Yeah, this version of him was really interesting. I can't wait to see what you think of the rest of the season. I kind of love Sebastian Blood but I am a sucker for Joseph Morgan. ]

That sounds really lonely, Dawn. I don't want you to be alone.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[ooc: So far I am enjoying Sebastian, I thought it was cute how him and Rachel were getting along. I also enjoyed Conner embracing his Luther side and slagging on Dick so much. ]

It's not all bad, it's given me a lot of time to think about certain things.

[feelthedarkness]

[ OOC: I know, right? I've always had a thing for the bad boys too. ]

But I don't want you to be alone.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[ooc: He looks pretty good with a shaved head too ;)

[She tilts her head to one side, her brows knitting together a little because Rachel seems extra sensitive about this.]

Why? Are you scared something will happen if I'm alone?

[feelthedarkness]

[ OOC: He does! And that 'tude! ]

No, it's not that. But you shouldn't have to be alone. You deserve better than that. I know everything that happened...but that doesn't mean you should be alone forever, Dawn. You should be happy.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[Dawn reaches across to give Rachel's hand a little squeeze.]

Well moving forward I won't be so alone, I'm going to try and visit you more often. And Donna has told me she'll eventually come spend some time in Paris.

[A small pause where she lifts a brow.]

Unless you're talking more about me dating again?

[feelthedarkness]

[ Rachel nods a bit. ]

Well, kind of both.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[She has to chuckle at that.]

You're not trying to set me up with someone, are you?

[feelthedarkness]

No. I just want you to be open to it.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Okay, I'll be open to it. But I think it will be a while until I find someone else.

[She says and then shrugs.]

Which in a way might be better. It gives me time to figure out who I want to be next and what I want to do with my life.

[feelthedarkness]

That makes sense. I just don't want you to be on your own, you know. I worry.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I appreciate that.

[She says and gives her hand another squeeze.]

But, speaking of dating and things like that.....are you and Gar finally a thing?

[feelthedarkness]

[ Rachel smiles and tucks some hair behind her ear. ]

Well, you know...it's complicated.

[dawn_is_breaking]

It can't be as complicated as the end of the world and it's a much better topic so come on. [She nudges Rachel playfully.]

Dish, girl. I want to hear it all.

[feelthedarkness]

Definitely a better topic but also not much time for romance when the world may be ending. Again. After, I don't know...if we survive, we'll see, right?

[ Rachel tries not to show how worried she is. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

There's always time for romance.

[Dawn points out with a slightly sad smile.]

Especially if the world is maybe ending. Unlike some people who shall remain nameless [*cough*Dick*cough*] I think it's always best to tell people how you feel about them just in case something happens.

I would have been even more hurt if Hank had died and never knew how much I loved him.

[feelthedarkness]

Gar knows how I feel. I know how he feels. It's just...you know, not the right time.

[ Rachel looks sad at the mention of Hank. That never should have happened. She doesn't know how they can ever really get over something like that. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

Have you two kissed yet?

[feelthedarkness]

It just hasn't been thr right time.

[dawn_is_breaking]

What would be the right time for you?

[feelthedarkness]

When the world isn't potentially ending?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Okay okay.

[A pause and she smiles at Rachel.]

But you've thought about kissing him, right?

[feelthedarkness]

[ Rachel chuckles and turns a little red. ]

Yeah, of course.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Would he be your first kiss?

[feelthedarkness]

[ She tucks some hair behind her ear again and bites her lip. ]

Is it that obvious?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Only a little. I think Gar would be a great first kiss.

You'd probably be his first too.

[feelthedarkness]

You think so?

What was your first kiss like?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Yes.

[Dawn chuckles and pushes back some of her hair.]

My first kiss was nice, it was with a girl in my ballet class. We were thirteen and good friends and one day after practice we started talking about kissing and we thought 'hey let's just try it instead of waiting for a boy to do it to us'.

Turns out I liked it and thus began my slow realization that I was bisexual.

[feelthedarkness]

Your first kiss was with a girl?

[ Rachel's a little shocked by this, but glad Dawn is being open with her. ]

What was that like?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Yes, it was.

[She says with a smile.]

And it was really soft, shy and very sweet. We kissed a few more times after that but then she moved away.

[feelthedarkness]

I'm sorry she moved away.

[dawn_is_breaking]

It's okay, it happens and at least I'll always remember her fondly.

[feelthedarkness]

If she hadn't moved away, do you think you would have dated? Like...officially?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Probably not, we were so young and I don't think she felt the same way I did. For her it was just a bit of fun, where as for me it was an awakening.

[feelthedarkness]

It must have been a little hard after she left though, right?

[dawn_is_breaking]

A little bit, I had all these thoughts and feelings that I had to figure out by myself but in the end it was probably a good thing. I got to sort through them and figure out what they meant to just me, instead of me and someone else.

My second kiss was with a boy.

[feelthedarkness]

And how old were you for that one?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Fifteen.
It was this red headed boy who lived down the block from me.

[feelthedarkness]

Just a kiss or did you date?

[dawn_is_breaking]

We went on a few dates and did a lot of kissing.

[feelthedarkness]

Did you love him?

[dawn_is_breaking]

No, we were fond of one another but I didn't fall in love till I was seventeen.

[feelthedarkness]

I think I love Gar.

[dawn_is_breaking]

That's wonderful.

[feelthedarkness]

But I'm realizing it when we're basically at the end of the world.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Catastrophic events have the tendency to make you realize who and what's really important to you.
Are you going to tell him?

[feelthedarkness]

Should I? I mean, if it's the end of the world maybe he'll think I'm saying it just because of that.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Take the end of the world aspect out of it and just ask yourself, do you want him to know that you love him?

[feelthedarkness]

Yeah, I think I do.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Then tell him.

[feelthedarkness]

I'll definitely think about it. But right now I just want to enjoy our girl time.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Okay, we can move on to other topics of discussion then if you'd like.

[feelthedarkness]

Yes. Tell me about you. I want to hear everything.

[dawn_is_breaking]

There's not much to tell in comparison, I lead a quiet life in Paris where I mostly keep to myself and tend to my roof top garden.
I've kept up with my dance and fight training and I've thankfully gotten to the point where I can finally sleep at night without having nightmares.

[feelthedarkness]

There's no one in your life?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Not really no, I'm friendly with my neighbors and the woman who runs the cafe across the way but that's about it.

[feelthedarkness]

But you spend most of your time alone?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Yes.

[feelthedarkness]

I'm sorry. I hate that you're alone like that, Dawn.

[dawn_is_breaking]

It's fine, Rachel. It's mostly self inflicted.

[feelthedarkness]

Well, you can't stay that way forever, okay?

[dawn_is_breaking]

I'm sure I'll eventually be more social, it's just been hard to have the energy to do so.

[feelthedarkness]

Well, we're gonna be plenty social right now.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[She laughs and nods.]

Yes, I'm making up for months of being a loner in one evening with you.

[feelthedarkness]

It's a start at least.

[ Rachel grins. ]

So what should we do first?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Well how about we head back to my hotel for some pampering and then we can order in dinner while we get ready to go out dancing?

[feelthedarkness]

Sounds like a plan.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[After grabbing their coffee to go they head back to Dawn's hotel room which is a spacious little suite that looks out onto the outdoor swimming pool that the hotel has. Once inside Dawn brings out a large spa package that she made sure came with the room.]

Okay we've got face masks, foot masks, eye masks, all the masks you could ever want. What do you want to start with?

[feelthedarkness]

Eye and face masks I think would be a good start.

[ Rachel hasn't really pampered herself like this before so she's mainly gonna follow Dawn's lead. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

Sounds good, but let's get changed into some super comfy clothes.

[Dawn says and pulls out a bag from under the bed, she hands it to Rachel with a smile.]

Hope you don't mind, but when I saw this I had to buy it for you.

[When Rachel opens it she will find a PJ pants and shirt set, it's all black of course and on the shirt it says 'Eat, sleep, Hex and repeat'.]

[feelthedarkness]

[ Rachel opens the box and laughs when she sees the PJ set. ]

Oh, this is too perfect.

[ A few minutes later, she comes out of the bathroom changed into the PJs, already feeling a bit more relaxed. The black PJs are a stark contrast to her stark white hair, but she's not about to change her style just because of her hair. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

[When Rachel comes out of the bathroom she will find that Dawn has also changed into a PJ set, hers is a light blue and she claps when she sees Rachel.]

Oh it looks perfect on you! Yaaay!

[feelthedarkness]

Perfect fit too.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I'm glad.
How about you put on some music you like and then we can start these face and eye masks.

[feelthedarkness]

That sounds great to me. You have a Bluetooth speaker?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Sure do.

[She says and digs into a duffle bag that is sitting nearby, she grabs a little speaker out of it and tosses it to Rachel with a grin.]

[feelthedarkness]

Cool, this is a nice one.

[ Rachel syncs her phone with the speaker and starts a playlist. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

[With the music playing Dawn pats the spot next to her on the hotel bed and when Rachel climbs on she breaks out a pair of face sheet masks.]

Do you want gold colored ones or ones that look like animals?

[feelthedarkness]

Animals! Definitely animals.

[ And not just because that reminds her of...certain things. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

[Dawn chuckles and pulls out a few different ones.]

Okay, we've got a panda, a cat or a sloth.

[feelthedarkness]

I kind of think...cat for me. Which one are you going to do?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Good choice. I think I'll go with the sloth since my life has been so slow lately.

[feelthedarkness]

Pandas are super cute though.

[dawn_is_breaking]

So are sloths, in a living coconut kind of way.

[feelthedarkness]

Yeah, they're pretty cute too.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[Dawn opens her sheet mask and pulls it out, on it is a cartoon rendition of a sleepy sloth face and she lays it over her face.]

Okay it says we leave them on for about 20 mins. [She says and then flops back on the bed on her back.]

[feelthedarkness]

[ Rachel puts hers on as well and relaxes. The music is helping and it's cool to hang out with Dawn too. ]

I'm glad we're doing this.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Me too, I feel like we both need it.
So often with vigilante work you just keep going and going, you forget to stop and take care of yourself.

[feelthedarkness]

Self care is super important.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Self care and a good skincare routine, you probably don't need it as much because you're young and don't have to wear a mask but I can tell you that wearing those goggles all the time used to wreak havoc on my skin sometimes.

[feelthedarkness]

You're young too.

[ Rachel laughed. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

Yes but not as young as you.

[feelthedarkness]

Still pretty young though...with amazing skin.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Oh well thank you, it's looking better now that I'm getting more sleep.

[feelthedarkness]

That definitely helps.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Not that I'm going to get a ton of sleep tonight because if I only get to see you for one evening I am going to cram in so much fun.

[She says and gives Rachel's side a playful poke.]

[feelthedarkness]

I doubt we'll get any sleep.

[ Rachel giggled when Dawn poked her. It really was nice to catch up with her after all this time. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

So, tell me more team gossip. How's Conner? Is Dick still a bad cook?

[feelthedarkness]

Things with Connor have been weird because you know...Lex stuff. We eat a lot of takeout.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Can I ask a possibly strange question about that? The Lex stuff I mean.

[feelthedarkness]

Sure. Ask away.

[dawn_is_breaking]

You mentioned that after meeting Lex, Conner shaved all his hair off to kind of look like him.

[She pauses and then tilts her head to look at Rachel.]

Did he look good bald? Or did it look weird?

[feelthedarkness]

It definitely doesn't look like the innocent Conner we know. More...sinister I guess. I don't know, it's not the best look.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I guess all of us got so used to him being like that, that it's hard to see him lose some of those innocence.

I'm mostly curious because sometimes when people shave their heads they look great and other times they find out they have odd shaped skulls.

[feelthedarkness]

I have a picture on my phone.

[ Rachel unlocks her phone and goes into the photos, scrolling to the one of Connor. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

[Dawn moves closer to look at the photo, making a thoughtful noise in her throat.]

Not a bad, I mean he has a nice shaped skull but you're right. It's a very different look for him which I suppose is the point.

[feelthedarkness]

Very different. It's super weird. I just want our Conner back.

[dawn_is_breaking]

To be fair to him he might not ever be exactly the same, he's growing up which means he has to make mistakes.

[feelthedarkness]

No, I know. It's just a lot...all at once.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I know it is, you just have to try and keep hoping that he'll find his way again.

[feelthedarkness]

He will. He has to. Besides, if anyone knows about darkness, it's me.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Exactly. So if you can make it through so can he.
In fact knowing that you've been through that darkness might help him.

[feelthedarkness]

You think so?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Yes, it helps having friends who have gone through similar things. You can talk about it easier with them.

[feelthedarkness]

Hopefully he gives me the chance.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[Dawn leans over to give Rachel a little side hug.]

Me too.

[feelthedarkness]

[ Rachel leans into the hug. It feels good. There's so much going on lately, a night off feels like just what she needs. And she can help Conner later, or at least try. ]

Everything's changing so fast...you know.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Oh I know.

[She says and gives Rachel a little squeeze.]

You've already grown up so much.

[feelthedarkness]

I guess I have, huh? It's weird sometimes I feel like that little girl who had no idea who she was or what she could do.

[dawn_is_breaking]

You might feel like that but it's not what I see.
I see a young woman who has become amazingly strong and kind.

[feelthedarkness]

Ooh, I don't know about the kind part...always.

[dawn_is_breaking]

No one is always kind, you're human after all, but you're kind in the ways that matter.

[feelthedarkness]

I think you're a little biased, but thank you, Dawn. You're definitely kind too. And amazing.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[Dawn laughs and gives Rachel another squeeze.] Maybe, but just a little bit.

[Her phone timer goes off and she sits up slowly.]

And it's time for these face masks to come off, are you feeling moisturized?

[feelthedarkness]

I think so. How about you?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Very much so, shall we move on to eye masks next?

[feelthedarkness]

Sure. Or should we have a snack first?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Ooooh good idea, what do you feel like having?

[feelthedarkness]

Can we get pizza?

[ Okay, so it was a bit more than a snack but Rachel really wanted some. They had plenty of time to do everything else they wanted. ]

I think if we survive this...insane end-of-the-world event, I might want to um...go to college?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Of course, so long as it isn't cauliflower.

[She says with a laugh, poking fun at Dick and his weird obsession with cauliflower crust pizza. She takes out her phone and lets Rachel pick whatever kind she wants and then orders it through ubereats.]

College? Rachel, that's great. What kind of classes were you thinking of taking?

[feelthedarkness]

Cauliflower is more Dick's thing. It's fine but I want the real thing.

I'm not sure yet. I just want to feel normal for awhile.

[dawn_is_breaking]

That's because pizza, real pizza, is the best.

I think that's not only a valid desire but also a really good idea.

[feelthedarkness]

You don't think it's silly for me?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Not at all, I think it's a wonderful idea.
You should be able to get an education, make friends, and live your life.

[feelthedarkness]

Thanks, Dawn. I don't even know if I'll like it but I want to try.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I know that being a Titan and helping people is important to you but the older I get the more I think that it doesn't have to be the only thing you do, or the only way you help people.

[feelthedarkness]

And we all need a break, right?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Exactly.
A break and a chance to meet more people who you can be close to.

[feelthedarkness]

Hopefully they don't think I'm too weird or something.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Well you might want to wait to tell people your father is a demon but besides that I don't see why they would think you're weird.

[feelthedarkness]

And here I was planning on leading with that...

[ Rachel busted out laughing. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

[Dawn laughs along with her.]

I mean who knows, if you did you might meet some occult minded people.

[feelthedarkness]

Maybe so.

But I hope they'll like me for me.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Considering how wonderful you are, I'm sure they will.

[feelthedarkness]

Aww Dawn, you're so sweet. But you may be a bit biased?

[dawn_is_breaking]

Nope, not even a bit. I just know that you're an amazing person.

[feelthedarkness]

You are too, you know? I miss seeing you all the time.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I know, I miss seeing you all the time as well. There are times when I'm in my apartment in Paris and I start thinking about how quiet it is and I wish that I could hear Gar's video game noises or Krypto barking.

[feelthedarkness]

>Well, you can come visit me in Bludhaven

[dawn_is_breaking]

I'd love to do that, you can show me around the campus and what not.

[feelthedarkness]

If I get in.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I'm sure you will.

[feelthedarkness]

I guess we'll see. You know, if we survive.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[Dawn nudges her gently.]

C'mon, positive thinking remember?

[feelthedarkness]

Trying. I'm sure it'll work out.

[dawn_is_breaking]

As am I.

[Dawn's phone pings and she picks up up.]

Oooh and speaking of positive things, the pizza is here!

[feelthedarkness]

Oooh yay pizza! Can't wait to have a slice. Or two.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Or three or four? I don't know about you but I plan on eating half this pizza on my own.

[feelthedarkness]

>Well, I was trying to control myself. But me too, probably.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Who cares about control when it comes to pizza? [Dawn says with a grin and goes to answer the door and get the pizza, thanking the delivery guy.]

Tonight is all about letting go and having fun, remember?

[feelthedarkness]

You're right.

[ And Rachel is pretty hungry, she ate earlier today but right now she can't remember when. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

Of course I am, so let's dig in.

[She says and hops back onto the bed, opening the pizza box and inhaling deeply.]

Ohhh my god, that smells SO good.

[feelthedarkness]

It really does smell good. It's been awhile since I've had pizza.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Well since it's been so long for you, you get to pick the first and best piece.

[feelthedarkness]

[ Rachel takes a moment to decide which piece that is before selecting one and pulling it out, the cheese stretching as she lifts it. ]

I think I got it.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Good choice.

[Dawn says and selects one of the larger pieces for herself, she pulls it out and takes a big bite.]

Mmmm! Mmhmm! Good.

[feelthedarkness]

[ Rachel takes a good-sized bite too. ]

It's perfect.

[ Or maybe it's just been too long since she's had pizza. But either way, it's delicious and just what she needs tonight. ]

[dawn_is_breaking]

I think that pizza really is the perfect food, you get cheese and bread and meat and veggies....all in one easy to eat package.

[feelthedarkness]

Try telling Dick that.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I would but pretty much since I left it's been radio silence from him.

[feelthedarkness]

I'm going to yell at him.

[dawn_is_breaking]

That's very sweet of you but it's not necessary.

[She says with a little sigh.]

Dick's obviously got more important things to worry about and besides it's not like this is the first time he's cut off all contact with me. After a while a girl gets the hint.

[feelthedarkness]

No, he is always talking about being a team and a family and yet he basically abandons people when they need him the most.

[dawn_is_breaking]

I don't think Dick considers me part of the family anymore, Rachel.

[feelthedarkness]

Well, he's wrong.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[Dawn looks at Rachel for a moment and then puts down her pizza so she can pull the younger girl in for a tight hug.]

Thank you, sweetheart. It means a lot to me to actually hear someone say that out loud to me.
