It was another non-school day, and in the middle of cleaning, Marnie took some time out to play with Brett. Brett, of course, was thrilled. Marnie couldn't stop thinking of all the things that needed cleaning. The kids tried to help (or at least stay out from underfoot), but it wasn't easy to do.
Upstairs, Bennie was practicing his comedy skill with all his concentration (which, let's be honest, isn't much..), trying to ignore the kids who kept interrupting him.
Jaz finished her New Year's Resolution to raise a skill, and then went to find out what might be in the fridge. Luckily, she did find milk for her cereal, since there weren't any left-overs. Before long, Marnie joined her at the table, having just finished cooking some food for the family (of course, right after Jaz got her cereal...)
Jaz had taken note of the Future Cube on the mantelpiece. She didn't really believe in those things, but she was really bored. So she asked it about her future. Reminding herself that it was just a toy, she shook it, and looked down at the words. Apparently her future looked bleak. For a moment she wondered what could go wrong, and whether that was a short term future.. or long-term. I mean, she had an actual home now, a therapist who actually cared, friends, a club she was happily a part of, an A in all her classes, and her parents were even fighting less. Then again, one could say things were going TOO well. Shaking her head, she reminded herself this was a TOY!.. and put it back on the shelf. The misgivings remained, though, and made it hard to fall asleep that night. By the time she fell asleep, she'd decided one thing for sure. No more Future Cube questions for her.
