Well, I just found out I gotta go back to Honolulu for a couple of days. My mom called about twenty minutes ago. My dad's alcoholism has led to severe liver failure, and he isn't looking good. So I get to sit in a cramped hospital room with a bunch of relatives I either don't know or don't like, while my dad slowly dies of his horrible disease.
I'm sorry, Sister. I'm sorry that this is how you had to find out. I wanted to call you, but I didn't really know if I could face you with the news just yet. I'll pay for your tickets. Also, I... kinda needed a friend... so I'm asking Simmons to come along. You can bring a friend, too, if you feel like it would help. You can pick anyone you want. Their ticket's on me, too. I know Pops and I never got along for real... but he's still my dad. I just need some moral support.
Tucker, just a warning. Now would not be an appropriate time for you to crack a joke about me and Simmons. I'm not trying to offend you or anything, I just know that you tend to... Well, you know. I honestly don't think you're that insensitive, but I'm not taking any chances,
I dunno when I'll get back, but we're taking a flight tomorrow afternoon. Sorry about the short notice, but I don't know if he'll make it much longer. I'm bringing my laptop with me, so Simmons, Sister, and I can still update. Feel free to comment as needed. You'll still get a reply in a timely manner.
*sigh* I don't have much else to say...
I guess... I should go pack... or something....

You're joking, right? This is just revenge for my outbursts of crazy, and telling Simmons and York about the bra and rollercoaster and shit, isn't it? Honestly, I'm off the drugs, except the anti-crazy ones Doc gave me. Please tell me you're kidding...
Oh God... I'll see you in the morning, alright?
[ooc: Poor Grifs! *hugs them*]
Twinkies-N-Beer-06:
'Fraid not. I totally wish this was a joke, but... it's not. And... I'm sorry for getting mad at you over that stupid stuff. It was nothing for me to flip out over.
Did you pick anyone to take along, or...?
((OOC: I know! Why am I so mean to characters?))
sexxy_kay:
It's fine Dex. That's totally three days ago.
You know, I don't really think anyone here likes me enough to want to come, but one of my old friend said she'd meet us there. Thanks though.
[OOC: it's our job as writers? ^^;]
Twinkies-N-Beer-06:
That's good. Although, you could probably convince York or Caboose to come along, but if you'd rather meet her there, that's fine. Which friend is it?
I hope I'll actually be good enough moral support. I kind of suck at emotional stuff. I'm too sensitive, I guess.
Fuck, this really sucks. I feel kinda bad, too, because I'm more excited to get to go to Hawaii than I should be.
...Don't worry about packing, Dexter. I kind of already took care of it. I guess you can check and see if I forgot anything, but I don't think I did.
Twinkies-N-Beer-06:
Don't worry, it'll be good enough just to have someone I actually get along with there.
Part of the time we're there, we can pretend it's a vacation. It'll help lighten the mood and you don't have to feel guilty.
Wow, dude, thanks.
Haha, do you think anyone will notice we're on first-name basis now?
Pff, they'll notice now. Way to go, pointing it out like that.
So you're going to teach me how to surf, right?
sexxy_kay:
Dexter, surf? I think not. Lia and I will help you though. If you're nice. And look good in a wetsuit.
So Kaikaina, you're saying that Dexter can't surf?
...He knew how to skateboard back at the base when he made that annoying rover into one. Isn't that like the same thing almost?
Whatever. Are there wetsuits that aren't like a second skin? I don't know if I'd feel comfortable wearing something like that.
sexxy_kay:
I have no idea. When we were kids he never wanted to go because he was afraid of sharks, and when we got older he was too lazy to do anything when we went to the beach.
I don't think there are, but judging from last night, I think you'll be just fine...
