Hear ye! Here ye!

[arianna]

Arianna could hardly believe the news. It was so exciting and wonderful and happy and, in part, scary. Her parents were certainly elated. That much she could see from the letter. Reading through it, she could also sense their worry over her reaction, though they hadn't quite come out to say it. Not that it would change anything at this point. What happened, happened, and Arianna would have to get used to it.

"Allegra!" after yelling the password to Stony, Arianna barreled past and into the common room. She paused in the middle of the room and looked around before shouting again. "Drew!"


{really, it's open to everyone }

"Is this just a Thornton meeting or am I allowed?" Lily asked, sticking her head around the door frame to peer out.

[arianna]

"I don't care," Arianna replied. It wasn't a rude tone, nor an indifferent one. It was quite the opposite, filled with mirth. Arianna was just too far gone in her emotions to realize what either girl had even said.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"Ok," Lily said. "Then I declare myself offically part of this meeting. And since I'm here first," she plopped herself down in Drew's chair. "It is all mine."

[Allegra Thornton]

Allegra hopped down the steps at the call. "What's up?" She asked, looking curiously at the two girls.

[arianna]

"I got a letter!" Arianna replied, overly excited. She wipped the pale blue parchment out of her pocket and waved it frantically before the girls. Any faster and the letter would have been torn to shreds by the sheer velocity.

[Allegra Thornton]

"And you've never gotten a letter before?" Allegra asked, teasing.

[Hiro McVeil]

"Is this the mail call?" Hiro joked when he entered from the dorms. "I think I have a package coming has that arrived yet?"

[arianna]

"No. I mean, yes, but not like this," Arianna replied, nearly jumping out of her shoes. "You won't believe...I can't even believe....."

[hermione7lunaroc]

"Just tell us already," Lily said, growing excited off of Ari's excitement. "Don't keep us in suspense all day."

[arianna]

"I was waiting for Drew," Arianna glanced around the room for the younger Ravenboy. Not seeing him, she shoved the letter at Allegra.

"Here. You can read it," she told the girl, forgetting completely that Allegra could not read the symbols on the paper.

[Allegra Thornton]

Allegra took the paper and just had to glance at it to realize she couldn't read it. She handed it back to Arianna and sighed. "How about you just tell us what it says?"

[Hiro McVeil]

"Paging Doctor Drew, Paging Doctor Drew, you're needed in the common room for surgery." Hiro called up again, trying to sound urgent in a joking way.

[Drew Thornton]

"Huh?" Drew answered, rubbing his face and scratching his neck as he came down the stairs. His hair was sticking up at odd angles and it was obvious he had been woken up from a nap. "What's the yelling for?"

[arianna]

"Hey, Drew!" Arianna tore letter from Allegra's hands and ran over to the boy, waving the parchment eagerly in his face, as she had done to the girls, before pushing it into his hands. "You gotta read this."
