| Rachel ([email protected]) December 30, 2001 Alex was cuddling with his new founded friend and Rick was having a nap. Therefore Evie was the only one who greeted Jonathan and Bonnie when they pulled up to the cottage. "Evie! Baby sister! Hello! How are you?" Jonathan asked in a cheery voice as he gave Evelyn a choking hug. "And you know Bonnie, of course, and Bonnie knows Evie!" He said when he pulled away. "Hello Bonnie, it's been a while." Evie said politely as she extended her hand. "Yes, too long." Bonnie said as she shook it. "Well, why don't we go in for a drink or something?" Jonathan asked as he wrapped his arm around Bonnie's shoulders and guided her to the door. "Where's Rick?" Bonnie asked, she caught Evie by surprise. "Why? Why do you want to know?" She snapped, she covered her mouth with her hands and gasped. "I mean, he's in the bedroom." She muffled out. "Do you mind if I go get him?" Bonnie asked. "No go ahead!" Jonathan said. Before Evie could stop her, Bonnie was gone. "So? What do you think?" Jonathan asked. Evie didn't answer, she just walked away. "Alex!" She called out, "Your Uncle Jon's here!" Alex came running in. "Uncle Jon! Look what I have!" He held out the bird that was wrapped up in a towel to keep it from flying away. Bonnie found the door a crack open. She slipped inside and shut the door then tip toed to the bed.

"Alex please, it's been a long day, I need some peace and quiET!" he cried, in a masculine sort of way of course, leaping up from the bed as he found an unfamiliar face staring back at him. He stood, gasping at the young woman in his bedroom as he realized he wasn't wearing anything but boxers. "What the hell are you doing here? Who are you? More importantly what have you done with my wife?" he questioned loudly, hoping that Evelyn would come to his rescue. "Ummm...I'm Bonnie, Jonathan's.... fianc�e, he sent me to wake you so you can come out and talk with us all." she smiled, sticking out her hand, but not averting her eyes. "Nice to meet you, but I think you should wait outside for a moment." he growled, almost pushing her out of the doorway. "Evelyn, come here for a sec." he called, before closing the door, and reached for his shirt and trousers. Tara ([email protected]) January 5, 2002 As soon as Bonnie left the room Rick quickly got dressed and waited for Evelyn. She hadn't come yet and Rick yelled out again, thinking she hadn't heard. "Honey." Yelled Rick rather impatiently as he sat back down on the bed. Back outside, Evie was helping Jonathan with the bags and heard Rick's call. She had her hands full and hurried to get them in the house, but not fast enough because Rick yelled for her a second time. "Coming." She said placing one of the heavy bags on the floor. "Dear lord what did they bring?" Evie commented at the weight before heading off to see what was wrong with Rick. After being ushered out of the room, Bonnie stood in front of the door and stared at it. "Well." She said quietly to herself, mad that she wasn't very welcomed. Turning around Bonnie started to walk back, head down. Evie rushed down the hall to her and Rick's room, not really looking where she was going. More interested in looking at her fingernails while walking then what was ahead of her, Evie ran straight into Bonnie, head first. Zanna ([email protected]) January 7, 2002 "Why don't you watch where you are going? I know you don't want me here, but it's no reason to be rude," Bonnie yelled at her. "Sorry Bonnie I didn't see you there, I chipped one of my nails on your bags and wasn't watching where I was going," Evie told her. "I don't think so, I think you did it on purpose. you still haven't forgiven me for stealing Albert from you." "Actually, it's probably the best thing you ever did for me, because I wouldn't have never met Rick. Speaking of Rick, I better go see what he wants," Evie told her with a grin as she went into her bedroom. Bonnie watched her go into her room shocked that she hadn't gotten under Evie's skin, like she was trying to do. Heidi Rittner ([email protected]) January 13, 2002 Bonnie went on in search of Alex�s room, knowing that according to plan, Suetekh would be there. She followed the sound of a bird, recalling that Alex said he had brought one into the house. She found the room, quietly slipped in, and shut the door behind her. �This must be Alex�s room,� she thought to herself. Just then, another squawk brought her attention to a cage |
