Up on the roof.
Sep. 7th, 2004 11:53 am*Again, he's up earlier than she is, so he retreats to the roof. He looks out over the time-frozen landscape and sighs regretfully. How he'd love to be up here watching the sun rise, instead of looking out at the same stars over and over again. There's nothing like watching the sun rise from a New York rooftop. His eyes make their way to the Twin Towers, and he cringes. Raph's thoughts move darker still as he thinks about Angie and John.
He can't wrap his mind around the idea of John just up and leaving. There has to be something more to it than that. Could he really have been that freaked out by finding out Angie was just a story in his world? It didn't seem to bother John when he met Raph. But then, Raph and John's relationship was nothing like John and Angie's was. So he tries to put himself in John's shoes. What would he think about finding out Penny was just some made up character. That her world wasn't real to him. His thoughts shift to the turtle painted van he and Kitty found in the garage.
Raph decides then and there that he's going to face this head on. He quietly creeps back into the tent. He finds it the first place he looks. The magic of the tent puts everything in it's rightful place, so it only stands to reason that a bound stack of pages be found on a book shelf. Just as quiet, Raph returns to his rooftop perch, screen play for Almost Famous in his hands.
He begins to read*
