Subject: HELLO BOSTON!
Hey guys! After Trini sent me those grass skirt pictures of Zack, I decided it's been too long. So I'm going to drop in. Since you're not coming home for Thanksgiving, I'm just going to have to bring some California over to you. And I hate the cold so you owe me.
-Jason.
"Jason is coming, Jason is coming!" Kim sang, hopping on one foot.
Trini watched the production with one eyebrow raised. "Do we need to get the tranquilizers?"
"What is wrong with you, Trini Kwan? Jason is coming! One of our bestest and oldest friends in the whole wide universe! Aren't you excited?" Kim demanded. She grabbed Trini by the hand, yanking her off the bed. "Dance with me! Dance, puppet!" She bobbed Trini's arms around but the best she got from the other girl was a strange quirk of the lips.
"Of course I'm happy he's coming," Trini replied evenly. "But he's not here yet. And frankly you're being a touch psychotic." She liberated her hands and returned to her books.
"Whatev!" Kim scoffed and hopped over to her bed, above which a blown up picture of herself, Trini, Zack, Billy and Jason hung, next to other pictures of their friends. She patted picture-Jason on the head and continued to sing her little song. "Jason is coming, Jason is coming!"
"Woah, what's she smoking?" Zack asked as he popped his head in.
"Don't look at me. She got the email from Jason and she's been like this ever since. We should adjust her medications or something," Trini said with an eyeroll.
"Uh huh. So you guys gonna take care of Thanksgiving dinner?"
"What, cause we're girls?" Kim paused her singing and demanded, hands on her hips.
"No, genius, cause I burn water and cause having it here makes more sense than having in my room since my roommate may or may not be around."
"I got it," Trini said and grimaced.
"You can do it," Zack said with an encouraging grin and dropped a hand on her shoulder.
Kim paused her singing and looked at Zack oddly. "Of course she can. It's just a dinner for the four of us. Trini's managed way bigger productions than that."
"I know," Zack replied and glanced at Trini.
Kim caught a strange pause between her friends but she didn't have time to interrogate them Spanish Inquisition style, she had plans to make!
JASON WAS COMING!
