Kaylee was practically bouncing as she made her way into the Zen Building that morning, full of gossip and secrets to share with her little brother. She was a girl with a mission, and that mission was going to be carried out by Correy, whether he liked it or not. Dressed a little skimpy for the weather in shorts and t-shirt, she ran up the stairs and knocked rhythmically on the door to the boys' apartment. Shave-and-a haircut ...
"Two bits!" Correy jumped off of the couch, naked as the day he was born, when he heard her familiar knock and hurried to the door. It was unlocked and thrown open. His smile was from ear to ear. "You look cold, but like you're about to burst. Get in here!" He reached for her hand and pulled her inside, then slammed the door behind them.
Dragged inside, Kaylee flung her arms around her brother and bounced happily. "Dude, it's so good to see you! How's things" How's Jon' How're you? You would not believe what I have to tell you!" It all came out in a rush, gathered together and fired directly at Correy from her mega-watt smile.
He hugged her tight enough to lift her off of her feet, then put her down. "Things are good, Jon's f**king fantastic and I am dying to hear what you've got to say!" He spoke just as rapid fire as her, moving to the kitchen to make some hot cocoa.
She was so high on her pent-up excitement that it took a moment for Kaylee to do more than spout incoherent words as she followed him to the kitchen. "Okay, Cog, I have a mission for you," she managed eventually. "I'd do it myself, but I gotta work tonight."
He was putting the pot on to boil when she finally gained the ability to speak. "Will the message self destruct in ten seconds?" He teased with a bit of a laugh. The mugs were pulled from the cabinet and then he grabbed a can of whipped cream. "So what kind of mission?" He upended the can of whipped cream and sprayed into his mouth.
"Hey, guest here," Kaylee laughed as he sprayed cream into his own mouth. "Me first!" She pointed at her open trap expectantly.
"Oh, sthowwy." He reached over and sprayed a good sized dollop into her open mouth, then onto the tip of her chin. He giggled then and capped the whipped cream. It was sat down and he folded his arms, waiting for her to swallow.
"Oy, 'oo, 'ittle ..." Gulping down her mouthful of cream, Kaylee wiped the rest off her chin and dolloped it onto the end of her little brother's nose. "Anywho, you will never guess what juicy gossip I got. Guess who came 'round yesterday morning looking for Ollie?"
"Hey!" He showed off his singular talent and licked the cream from the end of his nose. "Oh my Gawd!!" His eyes got wide and his mouth was one wide open mouthed grin. "Somebody came looking for our sweet, little Ollie?"
"It gets better." Kaylee's grin was in real danger of eating her nose as she eyed her brother cheekily. "Not just anybody. A girl. A really pretty girl." She beamed, bouncing on the balls of her feet. "And even better - I recognised her because he's been sketching her from memory for two days!"
It didn't seem possible, but Correy's eyes got bigger and his jaw dropped visibly. "Get out of here! A pretty girl looking for our Ollie?" Correy shook his head with amazement. "Was she a paying customer?"
"I don't know!" Kaylee squealed in frustration. "The man has no soul when it comes to gossip. I've been hinting and hinting, and all I'm getting is 'she's a girl I know from around'. Seriously' I thought he was making plans to go into a monastery since Cally left him high and dry."
"Cally left him' Oh my Gawd! I've been out of the loop for too damn long!" He frowned and shook his head again. "So she's just a girl he knows from around? That's bullsh*t. There's more to it than that!"
"I don't know whether she left him, exactly, but she certainly hasn't been around," Kaylee shrugged lightly, scrubbing a hand through her hair. "Anyway, this girl - Piper, that's her name - she left him a letter. Which I haven't seen since, by the way. And suddenly the one sketch he had done turned into loads and loads. Look." She dug into her bag and withdrew a piece of paper, unfolding it to show her brother. http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab51/RhyDinLittleTheatre/OlliesSketchofPiper.jpg
