Heroes drabble

[weewarrior]

This is for monanotlisa, who helped me significantly in solving the problem mentioned in the previous post. She requested a drabble for Monica, and gave me the prompt "Chad," which I, er, managed to incorporate. In a way.

No actual title; no actual spoilers for Season Two of Heroes, except that a character named Monica exists. Gen.

Be gentle, this is my first attempt at something like this.


Monica remembers them sitting on the couch together, waiting for Camille to pick her up. Mom is silently focussed on the TV, something on the war in Sudan and its influence on the greater region, while Monica is anxious - she is looking forward to a girls' night out, really, but Camille has been so snappy lately, as if Monica has suddenly become someone else because of a college acceptance letter. She fidgets, and is about to check her watch for the upteenth time, when Mom suddenly grabs her hand and presses it, without once taking her eyes off the screen.

Ooh, nice!

Loving the mother/daughter thread running through it; in fact, I contemplated asking for Monica and her mother -- seems you read my mind! *g*

Thank you so much for this.

(Need Monica icon.)

You're welcome!

Camille's tendency to crush every attempt of Monica to reach out further than her current situation made me think that she likely would have reacted negatively to the idea of Monica going to college. (Not that I think Camille doesn't love Monica, whether as a friend or more, but I think there is jealousy there, too.)

It's one of the things I love about the Dawsons - in their family, female-female relationships are clearly more important, and Heroes doesn't have that all that often. Sure, I love Claire's relationship with Sandra, and her relationship with Angela is very intriguing, but in both cases, her connection to the male members of the clan are displayed much more prominently.

I have one, but it's not in use yet. (Not enough icon slots.)

YES.

Makes me miss MonicaMom. Even though I never "knew" her.
