Rain:609: Off-Topic

(Redirected from 609:Off-Topic)

Synopsis

As Aiken and Kellen leave Rain and Emily alone, Emily wonders if anyone else from their school is at the con, and worries about them seeing her stomach.

Author Notes

Originally, I was going to switch scenes today and shift focus to one of the other arcs going on at this time.  I changed my mind, partially because I wanted to close the week with something relevant, instead of starting something new going into the weekend.  I also kinda felt like I should confirm the characters splitting up to do different things before I jumped away.  Soooo, NEXT update, we'll catch up with someone else.

But while we're here, let's talk about the content here.  We've had a lot of focus on Rain's drama and the questions of whether her siblings will accept her or not.  And while Emily has taken the foreground a lot on this matter by defending Rain or arguing with Kellen, her own personal drama hasn't been touched on in a while.

Do YOU think anyone from the school is there?  Do you think she'd continue to deny it, or does it sound like she might try to come clean?

Transcript 

Your brother's a brave soul, offering to stick with Kellen.
Someone has to make sure she doesn't go home and strand us here.
Good point.
Hey... this is off-topic, but do you think anyone from our school is here?
I haven't seen anyone so far, but I don't doubt it's possible. I assume this is about the baby, right?
Yeah, I'm not exactly hiding it. Like I said, I was envisioning this con to be something much smaller. I don't care that your siblings know, but our classmates...
I totally understand.
I knew you would. But maybe I'm being stupid. It's not like I can hide it much longer anyway.
My uniform is already getting to be a little tight and it's only going to get worse. And then when Spring gets here and we're no longer wearing our blazers...
Sorry. I shouldn't burden you with this.
It's okay. Let it out if you want. You've had to deal with my troubles first-hand; I can at least listen to yours.
