[The camera pans around on an open work space that's under construction. There are ladders, sawdust, freshly cut lumber and a good deal of paint lying around. Occasionally a carpenter or painter can be seen. The camera travels across the store to what appears to be a check out counter before Lucy turns the camera to face her. She's wearing overalls today and she's got smudges of paint in varying shades of pink and red on her face, hands, arms and in her hair.]

Everything with the store is going well. I think anyway. I'm hoping we'll be open in a couple of weeks but it looks like a lot still has to be done to me. I guess everyone survived one of those weekends again. It's fall though and things are getting cooler. Football will be here soon.

Would anyone be interested in a team?

[Luke, Jill, Jace, Dulcie & Castiel]

According to Luke, Rido is being a nosy bastard again. Jill, be careful out at night. I don't trust him not to use you.

Jace,I know it's a big deal but if you could watch her, I'd appreciate it.

Cas, can you stay on angel speed dial for a while?

Luke, thanks for the heads up. Let me know if you hear anything else. Please?

Dulcie, just...do your angel thing I guess and be careful.

[Curt, Stephen, Campbell, Menolly]

Be extra careful when you're out. Please?

[Neil]

I think we ought to avoid each other for a while. Be careful if you're out at night and stay out of the underground.

Figuring the other stuff out is good.

[She sighs because she hasn't ever really been cursed this way so she doesn't necessarily get it but she does understand wanting to be that happy all of the time.]

One of these days you'll have a family like that and you'll be happy and it will be real. You have to remember with a family, you get to create your own. Your friends can become your brothers and you can have children, even if you have to adopt. The curse wasn't real but it didn't show you anything that you can't have one of these days.

Thanks, Luce. I guess I just really needed to say it all out loud.

[Pause. Swallow.]

And at least I know I'm definitely gay, now. Like, really seriously gay.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Consider me a sounding board anytime.

[His confession makes her smile.] Well duh, Sweetie. I'm happy for you. So are you and Cassie a thing now?

[totallyinaband]

Apparently everyone else figured it out before I did.

I really don't think so. It was just the curse. That date you sent us on went pretty damn disastrously.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

[She has the grace to wince at least.]

Sorry about that. I don't know that many gay guys.

[totallyinaband]

It's okay. Neither do I.

Having it all figured out, too... I kinda wish I could see Joseph again. I'm pretty sure he's been waiting for me to figure it out since I met him.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Maybe you will. People get to go home all the time. He could show up here too. It's not a bad place most of the time.

[totallyinaband]

Is it selfish to kinda want that?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm the Queen of selfish when it comes to people being here so I say definitely not.

[totallyinaband]

Thanks. That definitely makes me feel validated.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Good because you should. You're a good guy.

[totallyinaband]

I hope so.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I know so. I can pick a bad guy out from across a room.
