Additional Notes


8:00 PM


The two women sat on the plush sofa. One of them had short blond hair and was dressed in a pair of green pajamas. The other had darker skin, her black hair let loose and cascading down her shoulders. She was dressed in a tank top and lounge pants. Both of them had their attention focused on the machine in front of them.

“Seriously the whole thing is sloppy!” Harriet frowned, watching the TV, narrowing her eyes a bit. “You can tell that they have no understanding for protocol!”

Matsumi, shifted a bit, adjusting the carton of ice cream between her legs and scoops up another spoonful, shoving it into her mouth.

“You don’t like Dragnet?” Matsumi mumbled between bites, frowning as a bit of it dripped onto the pajama shirt she was wearing.

“Hey! I hope you aren’t planning to get any of that stuff on my sofa. Do you know how much it cost me to buy this thing?” Harriet frowned a bit at Matsumi, giving her a cold look. Matsumi paused for a moment then ate another scoop of ice cream.

“It’s not like you can’t afford it, you’re a lawyer. ‘Sides, if you didn’t want it, you shouldn’t have bought double chocolate chip chunk ice cream by the galleon!” Matsumi paused another. “Wait, why HAVE you bought this thing by the galleon?” Harriet coughed and turned back to the TV.

“I still think this thing is a load of -“


9:00 PM

Matsumi frowned, paging through her phone, while Harriet glanced over her shoulder.

“Well!? what does it say??” Harriet said, trying to grab the phone from her cousin. Matsumi slapped her hand away.

“Hey! No touching! Just give me a second….it looks like…hey you’re right! They screwed up the police order in this thing!” Harriet grinned and clapped her hands together.

“HA I KNEW IT!” She shouted at the top of her lungs. She grabbed her beer and took a swig, before slamming it against Matsumi’s, who also took a swig.

“Hold on! Hold on! New episode is starting!” Matsumi put down the drink, leaning forward to the TV. Harriet followed suit, peering closely at the screen.


11:00 PM


“DO DA RABBIT!” Harriet bellowed, taking another swig from her beer can. Matsumi drunkenly grinned and saddled over to the window. She glanced out. The cars were still there. The people were still watching. Snickering, she signaled over to Harriet, who grabbed a lamp and pointed it Matsumi’s way. Trying her best, Matsumi managed to clumsy get her hands in the right position to create the illusion of a bunny rabbit hopping around in the shadows.

“Here cums petah cuttuh tale, hupping down da bunni t-tale” Matsumi gurgled. Harriet spit out her beer and burst into laughter.

“Gurl…you hair what yuu sud like!?” Matsumi frowned for a moment at this before she started to giggle, which soon descended into a cascade of laughter, so hard in fact that Matsumi’s legs buckled under her, causing her to fall on her ass, which only managed to make Harriet laugh even harder then before.


12:00 PM


Silence has fallen over the entire room. The lamp light, which had been the source of such jokes, now lay on its side, having been pulled from the power socket.

On the floor, lay two women, side by side. One of them, a blond haired woman with short hair in green pajamas, snored loudly, while the other, a darker skinned women, her long black hair cascading under her, one of her arms sprawled against the former’s chest, slept more peacefully, muttering in her sleep. Beer cans were surrounding them in a makeshift pile, while the TV softly played a nameless show in the background.

While unnamed eyes watched the building, inside, there was simply peace and family.
