[she really thought she knew what she was going to say, and the words were just going to come right out. Instead, she ends up doodling leaf shapes in her journal for a while, until she's used each of her crayon colors]


[filtered to Mat]

[finally, she sighs. Saying anything still seems too hard. So she'll just write a little note--]

I'm sorry.

None of us love you any less because of that, you know? You're just fine the way you are, Peach Pie.

[Lorne]

[so-catless.livejournal.com]

[Sakaki]

[mysticalvender.livejournal.com]

No, Sweetheart, the alien inside you attacked Mat.

[Lorne]

[so-catless.livejournal.com]

[Oh good lord, the guilt]

[Lorne]

[so-catless.livejournal.com]

No one stopped me...

[Sakaki]

[mysticalvender.livejournal.com]

No one wants to attack their friend, Honey.

[Lorne]

[so-catless.livejournal.com]

He locked me in the closet.

[Sakaki]

[mysticalvender.livejournal.com]

Will a hundred more 'I'm Sorry's' help?

[Lorne]

[so-catless.livejournal.com]

[long pause here]

[Sakaki]

[mysticalvender.livejournal.com]

Heeeey now lunch, I can do!
