35: There Is Nothing Else For You To Say, Goodbye

This chapter carries off the previous themes of this story.

Present day

The next Superstars meeting begins. Katie is wearing a pink top with sequins, a pink skirt and pink shoes, as usual. Lucie, however, is wearing pink, blue and purple.

"You came back!" says Qadira. "We weren't sure if you would."

"Did Amancia give you our picture?" asks Thalia.

"Yes, she did. I loved it!" says Katie.

"It was a great picture, thank you," typesLucie.

Qadira and Thalia grin before bouncing away into the stim corner to set to work on another drawing. Lucie decides to draw a picture with them and Katie decided to play with the cups and stim toys.

[Image description: a beautiful drawing by _blaubeerchen_! It features all four girls at a Superstars meeting. Lucie is lying on the flagstone floor with her pencil and is wearing a stripy pink-and-purple top and pink socks. She is drawing a picture. Katie is sitting with the purple, blue and green cups and a variety of stim toys, smiling and facing forwards. She's wearing an outfit of pink. Qadira sits in the corner next to Thalia, who is flapping her hands. Qadira is wearing a red abaya and an orange hijab and is smiling too. Thalia is wearing an orangey-red dress. The remaining rainbow cups are next to her. A big blue box full of stim toys aptly labelled 'STIM TOYS' is also next to her and the garden door, where a pretty garden is visible. There are four posters on the yellow wall, such as a red poster reading 'Superstars can be themselves #RedInstead #HappyHands Please clean up! c:', a drawing of a tree against a blue background, a neurodiversity symbol surrounded by hearts and a picture of a black cat. (Also, in the corner where the artist has written their signature/name, there is a little blueberry, which I thought looked cool). Thanks again to _blaubeerchen_ for this wonderful picture, I love it!]

At Winter's house

Explicit music is coming from Winter's bedroom when Rebecca rings her doorbell. The music stops and a few seconds later Winter opens the door. 

"Hi Rebecca," she says. She's not nervous of Rebecca, just the fact that she and Gabriella have a history.

"Hi Winter," Rebecca says. "How are you?"

"I'm good. Look, I think we need to talk, Rebecca," sighs Winter. "Come in."

Rebecca makes her way into the living room and Winter follows her. Rebecca claps her brown hands together.

Soon after there's another knock on the door. This time, Winter lets Aasma and Ellie in.

"Oh, hi, Rebecca," panted Ellie, adjusting her abaya to cover her ankles (it had gotten hitched up a little bit).

"Rebecca, hey," said Aasma. "What's the issue?"

Welcome back, and hello 2019! It's a few days past LMD's birthday, but it's officially one year old! Remember, no ableism should be tolerated. <3
