This is very creative!

Thank you. :)

I must admit, I was overwhelmed by this when I read it the first time. It's way over my head, which means it's really good.

No really, on the second (unfortunately I think it's only been twice for this one) read through I get it more and it's very moving. The two of them lost without each other is very poignant.

This won't be a tl;dr, I'm still seaching for words to comment lol

Leave it to you to always amaze me with your stories... I'm sure I'll be back and read this 3 or 4 more times, and I'm pretty sure, too, that I'll love every time I do that because I already feel this warm (if not a bit bittersweet) feeling inside right now :)

Did I ever mentioned that I love fairy tales? And this had the same feeling to it... And very musical at the same time, I guess you were aiming for that, right? I only fear I'm not squealing because I found this way too pretty, scratch that, beautiful and fangirl mode would only disturb my awestruck moment lol

Anyways, I'm always happy to see something new on my friends page on LJ, you never disappoint, ma'am ;D

[freshtilapia]

Really, I made you grope for words? ;)

Theoretically, there are only about 3 ways to read this. One, reading it straight as it is; Two, reading Rachel's part first, then Quinn's; Three, reading Quinn's part first, then Rachel's.

I'm so subdued I also can't squeal with the comments...

Thank you very much.

Hahaha who would have thought I would be caught wordless huh? But yes, you pretty much did it.

Theoretically it would be 3 ways to read this, but you know... the things that start to cross my mind while reading it make me rethink about how I was reading everything the first time, so I have to reread it a few times... does that make sense?

Anyways, I'll save my fangirl squeal for chapter 3 of summer mornings ;D That will be a HUGE squeal lol

I'm patting myself on the back on the thought that I limited you to 3-5 sentences in a comment.

Yeah, that totally makes sense. IMO, the best way to read this is slowly, like a good, steady breathing.

Save some for chapter 2.1 :) Yeah, I'm doing an interlude again or you could say, an introduction the the last chapter. Maybe we'll get to know Quinn better...

I seriously think this would be epic as a performed piece.

[freshtilapia]

In song and dance?

Thank you very much for reading and leaving wonderful, albeit weird, comments. You've just made my night. Thank you.

[krumnut]

Lol, No. But now that I think about it XD Interpretive dance "Lonely....." *curls up into ball on the floor*

Actually, I think that this stems from the fact that I have recentlty sat through roughly 6 hours of newly written half dramatised (Script in hand) plays at Uni.

(Trust me, This makes much more sense in my life. I study technical production here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Institute_of_Dramatic_Art )

Anyway, I kind of envisioned the "Fairytale" Girl, sitting on a tree stump, talking as if she was talking to children, possibly waving around a wand. while the other girl sits in just a chair wearing blacks and talking as if she's really opening up to someone.

Weird, but this is the product of my brain.

[freshtilapia]

LOL!

Oh, right. You're in Oz! Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi! You're awake this early? Is it 5 or 6AM there?

6 hours? Wow. Was it good, at least?

In my mind, the other girl is pretty much the same as the one in yours. But the "fairy tale" girl to me is in the playground, talking to herself, while looking at the other girl. Makes it sadder that way, I guess...

Not weird at all. :)

[freshtilapia]

Thank you. So much :)

I'm lost for words.

[freshtilapia]

You? Really?

Awww...Thank you so much. :D
