Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Dad? What's wrong? I mentioned that we visit Gramps and you're spacing out on me." Yerfi shivered most violently. "Should we get going, or not? Gramps will be on the hill tonight, I think. Maybe we could visit the family..." Yerfi tilted her head a bit and looked at him the way her mother does it when she used to look at the doctor.

"Yeah, I know both of 'em. Wilf found me up on his hill, under some blankets he left there. Donna was with him and gave me a scolding for nicking blankets. I wasnt doing anything, but being under a blanket and lookin' at the stars. Wilf noticed that I liked the stars, and he said that someone he knew also loved the stars and traveled among them. I didnt say anything more though. Ever since then, I'll always visit Wilf and Donna. Gotta be careful of him. Cant have him be a salty sailor when he's playing cards and he's had a couple of beers." Yerfi smiled and shifted her feet. "So, wanna go?"

"Dont worry. I all ready know. Wilf told me." Yerfi bounded up the street. "Come on dad, catch up!" Later she collapsed at the knoll of the hill, her breath coming hard and fast. "Shouldnt run all the way..." Yerfi curled up into a ball and waited for the doctor (aka john smith) to get there.

Yerfi lay on the cool grass sucking in the cool air. Suddenly she was hauled up by the back of her shirt. "Well, well well, lok who we have here. Its the blanket nicker." "I'm not a blanket nicker!" "Why are you up there then?" "I wanna show my dad something." "And who's your dad, smart-mouth?" "John Smith. I'm his daughter, Myst Smith, ma'am." "Call me Donna, everyone does." "Ok Donna." Yerfi shuffled away only to caught again. "Oi! Stand were I can see you, Myst." Yerfi shivered where she was, wishing the doctor was here.

"yeah. Your John Smith or whatever." Yerfi (aka Myst Smith) scooted behind the doctor, shivering from the cold. "She's mad!"

Myst tried to smile at wilf, but she was shivering too hard to even try. Coughing, she sat on the ground and shovered, while huddling her self up to stay warm. "Anyone got a blanket?" Donna had started talking on her mobile to some friend and was looking at the stars.

Myst (aka yerfi) curled up in the blanket. "Thanks gramps." She snuggled up to the doctor's side and closed her eyes a bit. "Can you tell me a story, dad?"

"Anything really. Home, your travels, anything." She smiled at Wilf, her eyes reflecting the star light. Donna looked at her with a softer look and then snuggled up to Wilf, has she had done in her earlier days as a child.
