A Scripta

Idaho came around the corner into his bedroom to see the scrap book lying on his bed. He looked at it curiously, picked it up, then went over see Darcy in the kitchen.

"Darce? Darce, what's this?"

Darcy looked up at Idaho. "I changed my mind. I'm staying."

"You are?"

Darcy finished stirring something in a pot. "An angel appeared out of Galaxy City and talked me into staying here."

Even Idaho knew who he meant by "an angel." "But you said that you were having a hard time starting up what you wanted to do. Half the city hates him."

"I know, I know, but she begged me. She got on her knees on the side of the plaza and begged me." He turned to Idaho. "What was I gonna do after that, say no?"

Idaho stared at Darcy. StarWyng? Landing? And then begging?

"While she was there, it hit me. I came up with a compromise." He poured macaroni from the pot into a colander. "I told her that I'd open up an office in Texas and live up here. I'll probably have to commute a lot, but I'll come back up here--"

Darcy was cut off by Idaho suddenly hugging him. "Geez, man, I've never seen a more huggy bunch than you heroes."

(The title comes from StarWyng saying to Masonry "I touch ground to say this" - her way of saying this is the highest of oaths she can offer.)
