Room 516, Saturday

[enginegirl]

Kaylee was sitting on her bed, staring out the window. It was kind of a mess out there, which would be the reason she was still here. She assumed this was just another crazy Fandom thing and it would be over by Monday. This would just be one more adventure before she left.

[ooc: As the post says, Kaylee will be staying a little longer because of the flood; open if you'd like.]

With the day proving itself to be completely uneventful in the world of Alphonse, he decided to step out of his room for a while and find something to do. Which would be why he was peering into Kaylee's room through the open doorway. "Kaylee?"

Kaylee glanced over at the door and grinned. "Hey Al."

And then she frowned slightly when she realized she was going to have to tell him she was leaving soon.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

He made a slight wave, then asked, "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

"No, just lookin' out the window is all," Kaylee replied. "How are ya?"

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

Alphonse shrugged. "Trying to keep myself from feeling too lethargic," he replied, facing towards the window. "Nothing but water and more water out there, huh?"

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

Kaylee nodded. "Yeah, lots of that. I kinda like in here where it's dry."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Me too," he agreed. "Don't plan on going out there either if I can help it."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

Kaylee smiled. "You can hang out here if ya want."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"That would be great," Alphonse said, stepping into the room from the doorway.

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

"Guess this is some sort of Fandom thing again, huh?" Kaylee said, glancing out the window again.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Maybe?" Alphonse didn't sound too sure. "It could be just raining a lot on its own. But then again, that wasn't the case with the snowstorm last year..."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I wasn't here for the snowstorm," Kaylee said. "There were snow monsters, right?"

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," he nodded. "It was an... interesting way to start off being here."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

"My first invasion was the jello dragons," Kaylee said. "This sure is a crazy place."

She sighed sadly. "There's somethin' I need to tell ya, Al."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

Alphonse turned his head back towards Kaylee, raising his eyebrows; the tone of that made him slightly worried. "Hm?"

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

Kaylee figured she might as well just say it. "I'm, uh, leaving soon."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Leaving?" From the sound of it, Alphonse didn't think it would be for just a few days, either. "Where to?"

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

"I'm goin' home...to Serenity," Kaylee explained. "She needs me."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Oh... That's the ship you said you were on, right?"

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Apparently the gorram mechanic they replaced me with don't know what he's doing," Kaylee said, sounding defensive. She got that way when she thought Serenity wasn't being taken care of properly.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Ah, I see," Alphonse nodded; even though he didn't want her to leave, he understood. "I wish you didn't have to go, but it sounds like you're more needed back home."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

"I miss it there," Kaylee said. "I miss bein' in space and the crew. But I wish I didn't have to go because...I'm gonna miss you."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"I'm going to miss you, too," Alphonse said. "But if you're where you feel you need to be, then I'd feel better about that, too."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

"I'm headin' home Monday if the weather is all back to normal," Kaylee explained. "No way I coulda left without sayin' goodbye to you first."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

At that, Alphonse smiled. "Well, not yet," he said. "We've got until then to exchange goodbyes."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

Kaylee returned the smile. "That's true. You better stop by before I leave then."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Of course." In actuality, he wished he didn't have to-- Alphonse really didn't want another friend to leave. "I won't miss it for anything."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

"Good," Kaylee said. "Right now, we could just hang out and watch DVDs or something."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"You want to?" That sounded like something he would be up to doing. "I haven't seen any movies in a loooong time."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

"I got a lot here, mostly tv shows," Kaylee said. "Can't take 'em with me cause we don't got dvd players where I'm from. Anythin' in particular you wanna see?"

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Hmm... Well, not in particular," Alphonse replied. "I'm not too familiar with a lot of things shown on television. We could watch anything you're interested in seeing."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

"Well, I got Enchanted here. And Lightning Bug and Vanessa Saturn," Kaylee said. "And a few movies. There's also a documentary 'bout pies."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"How about Enchanted?" Alphonse picked. "That sounds like a good one."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

Kaylee grinned. "It is good. Or was until the later seasons."

Even someone as cheerful and positive as Kaylee had to acknowledge that.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

Alphonse chuckled. "We can start from the beginning then. And once it starts getting worse, at least we have other options."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

"Sounds good," Kaylee said, sticking a dvd in the player. "If you want, you can have my dvd collection. I won't be needin' it after all."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Me?" Alphonse blinked, looking surprised. "Ah, I... I don't really watch too many things, but... Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to check them out."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

Kaylee nodded. "Can't hurt and it would be fun."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

Alphonse took a spot on the bed next to Kaylee, nodding. "I'll give it a shot. Thank you."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome," Kaylee said, giving him a small smile. She was definitely going to miss moments like this.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"'Kay," Alphonse said, now in a comfortable spot. "Ready when you are."

[enginegirl.livejournal.com]

Kaylee pushed play on the remote and then settled back to watch the dvd.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

Alphonse settled back as well, and spent the rest of the time watching the show with Kaylee.
