Obviously not reading the room, Tiana runs in for a hug from our bubbly bestfriend-turned-ice princess, Kaylynn. What the hell has gotten into her?"So, pizzas have already been ordered; cheese and pepperoni okay with you two?", I inquire."Sure, of course, except I need to take the cheese off o

Shawn's POV:The excited look in her eyes says it all. She's not serious about this--she doesn't get the severity of the situation. We can't just up and decide to join--who are we kidding?She, who isn't even a believer,cannotup and decide to travel through time and change the world. That'snotgonna happen.
