[Right now, if she were at home, Quinn would be planning out her Thanksgiving strategy: eating just enough to be polite, but not enough to make a pig of herself and gain weight like most people do. Or in Dad's case, end up with heartburn.

She'd also be awaiting a visit from her grandmothers and aunts, a novelty which would wear off once the fighting started. Rita and Mom screaming at each other until Mom was unbearable to be around, Grandma Ruth criticizing Mom at every turn, Dad ranting on and on about Grandpa, Daria and Amy sitting off to the side grinning and eating popcorn. And if Brian and Erin came, twice the tears and twice the screaming.

But they're her family, and she misses them. It's been two years since she's had a proper holiday with them, geeky and embarrassing as overbearing "family days" are. Plus, the weekend after Thanksgiving always has some of the best sales! (Then again, it's a little hard to get excited about fifteen percent off when everything here is free.)

Right now she's decorating her and Daria's place with cute little brass leaves and colorful candle holders, and she's made some potpourri with dried cranberries. Cranberries always smell so good, and they're such a fashionable shade of red, too!]

[Daria only wishes she'd be allowed to escape with Aunt Amy before someone (probably mom) started in about how the holiday was supposed to be about family togetherness (and before whoever that was gave up and had a drink or two too many). But if she had to choose someone... well, Quinn isn't the worst to spend the holiday with, by far. Not that she'll say this, of course, or admit that Quinn is really quite creative and the potpourri makes the house smell nice.]

Isn't it a bit early for decking the halls? [Yeah guess who's trying to forget Thanksgiving entirely right about now?]

[Action!]
