Feb 23rd: The Long and Winding Road

"Said miss 'ooh, what a nice sleeping bag'" she snickered.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 3:56 pm

"That... totally doesn't count! A kinky American tricked me into it." she nods.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 3:56 pm

"And who was it who asked for the blanket? Or for a fuzzy green rug, hrm?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 4:03 pm

"I was clearly tricked by a scoundrel and the promises of a soft blanket. Clearly."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 4:04 pm

"And who was it who suggested a fine, American-made handbag? Let's face it--uptight is NOT you," she giggled.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 4:11 pm

"Well a Lady does need her handbag." she points out.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 4:13 pm

"And what a Lady wants, a Lady gets," Will nodded. "Nothing like the quality of American products; they'll beat the British equivalent any time."

"Everyone has a favourite manufacturer. Mine just happens to be a dashing Yankee with dirty thoughts." she chuckles.

"Pride of the colonies, they are! From handbags to punching bags, from rocking chairs to rocking horses, from frying pans to pan flutes, we're always by your side," she said, in an advertiser's voice.

"And dirty thoughts? If that's so, it came from when we were sharing them--you probably planted dirty thoughts in there, and now they've sprouted."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 4:28 pm

"Why I'd never! I believe you owe me an apology, Mrs. Stanton for even suggesting such a thing."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 4:32 pm

"Oh, of course, how could I suggest that you would EVER stoop to something like that, Mrs. Stanton."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 4:42 pm

She giggles. "Sorry. It's just getting a bit silly."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 4:52 pm

"I know, I know," Will chuckled. "Too many Mrs. Stanton's spoil the broth."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 5:01 pm

"Well I was trying to go for... you know... But it didn't really click anyway."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 5:04 pm

"Eh, it was going alright," she shrugged. "I dunno. It's all good," she smiled.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 5:22 pm

"Maybe it just wasn't the right moment. Lemme just find my nightie and I'll get us some hot chocolate..." she smiles.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 5:23 pm

"Hot chocolate sounds fantastic" Will said, headed over to his clothes, and shifting back male as he did so.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 5:33 pm

Sara gets dressed again which means she's, well, a little dressed at least and goes to make the cocoa. When she's done she takes the two mugs and strikes a pose in the kitchen door.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 5:34 pm

"Oh, m'lady of the chocolate," Will laughed. He, too, had put on SOME clothes.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 5:48 pm

She grins and hands one of the mugs to Will before taking a sip.

"Hey, what's this?" she wonders, noticing the card on the table as she walks past it, picking it up.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 5:55 pm

"Hrm?"

The note was from Will's parents; another note of congratulations and 'welcome to the family' and all that good stuff; nothing new and exciting...

except under the card was the ownership papers for the house, made out to Sara Stanton and just awaiting the proper signature.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 6:06 pm

Sara's mug hits the floor with a crash after slipping from her hand.

"Oh my god... They can't be serious..."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 6:08 pm

"Careful with those mugs, Sara!" Will said, coming over and putting one foot on the spill, beginning to soak it up. "What's the big fuss?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 6:18 pm

"They... they gave me the cabin..." she says, sounding incredulous.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 6:19 pm

"They did what with the whom?" he said, looking over her shoulder.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 6:22 pm

Sara just blinks and holds up the papers so Will can see. "I... I can't accept this..."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 6:25 pm

Will whistled. "That's...wow. To you? Um...wow. I mean, I've heard of 'welcome to the family', but this..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 6:34 pm

Sara, carefully, lets herself fall into one of the chairs. "Will I can't... this is, like, worth way more than my parents make in a year..."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 6:37 pm

"Eh, I'm not so sure. It's owned free and clear and was built by my family...it's more historic value than anything else..."

Suddenly, he laughed. "You know what this is? This is a bribe! It's gotta be...a 'please don't take our son away from us, look, here's where you two can live, wouldn't that be nice!'"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 6:48 pm

"They can't really expect us to live up in the mountains... If anything it's for vacations, but... this is crazy."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 6:53 pm

"It makes total sense. Look at it--they know trying to get ME to convince YOU to live somewhere is hopeless--I'd go wherever you wanted me to, be it London, Tanzania, or a dollhouse on your dresser. So they're trying to convince YOU, 'look at all the great things in New York!'

I mean, eventually, I figured I would end up with the house...they're must be trying to use it as bait for you."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 7:04 pm

"I'm not sure how I should feel about that..."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 7:07 pm

"It means they want you close by, I guess. Compliment? That's how I'd choose to look at it. If they thought you were bad for me, they'd probably try to see if you could move FARTHER away.

Plus, this is my family's home---and it's your family now, too. Maybe that's part of it--I mean, technically, the house would have been mine and then Robin's some day. Maybe giving it to you is their way of showing you that they're excited you're a Stanton."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 7:13 pm

"That does sound better..." she smiles slightly.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 7:17 pm

"So...wow. You get a husband, a wife, AND a house in one day. And all it cost you was some spilled hot chocolate and 9 months of discomfort."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 5:26 am

"It does seem too good to be true, doesn't it?" she smiles.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 2:11 pm

"Let's face it, tiger. You hit the jackpot."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 2:11 pm

"Let's face it, tiger. You hit the jackpot."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 3:23 pm

"I kept trying to tell you that but you wouldn't listen." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 3:36 pm

"THat's because I hit the bigger jackpot. Clearly."
