Wednesday Morning and Early Afternoon, Selkie Cove

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe had again wandered to Selkie Cove upon awakening. She sat on her usual set of rocks and watched the sun rise, still thinking about alot of things. She also had her crystal rose with her that she had retrieved back from Fandom High's resident kleptomaniac pink bunny. Anders would be happy to know that a couple of his cupcakes had gone to appease the thief and get her back the rose Cole had given her last year. The rose was important to her for many reasons -- and it was a symbol of just how much she and Cole had gone through in the time they had been together in order to stay together.

Speaking of which, she had a phone call to make.




Phoebe made sure to wait to make this call until she was sure that Veronica would be awake. She did have the concept of timezones down, after all. Once she was sure about times, she dialed V's number.

"Hey, Phoebes," Veronica said. She also happened to be at the beach, having picked up Backup from her dad's place for a morning walk. "You all ready for graduation?"

"If by ready, you mean nervous as hell about that and what comes afterwards, then yes I'm totally ready."

"Well, if your graduation is anything like mine was, you'll be celebrating the defeat of the giant gremlin," Veronica teased.

Phoebe laughed. "Grams is coming... as is dad. So there might be a death of a completely different kind."

"Death for Bel. And possibly Anders," Veronica said carefully.

Phoebe sighed. "There is that. The last time Grams met and accepted Cole, he was human. Piper may want to blow both of them up. But... Grams hates dad... like with a passion she normally reserves for demons."

"You can hide in my hotel room," Veronica offered.

"Won't Cameron be annoyed with that?" she teased her friend.

Veronica laughed. "He'll deal. You might have to make out with me to appease him, though."

Phoebe laughed. "Cole and Anders will be so sorry they miss that."

"I bet they will be," she teased. "So, what's up?"

Phoebe shook her head giggling. "I would never hear the end of it." She sighed. "Did you have a chance to look into what we talked about?"

"Yes," Veronica said. "In fact, I'm expecting a call from Cliff to stop by and pick up the paperwork later today, so I'll be able to bring it with me this weekend."

That would be a sound of relief. "Oh thank god, Veronica. You have no idea how much this means to me. Cole has been down because he doesn't think he has anything that he can do after graduation and he's been really down about it."

"He should have known better," Veronica chided lightly. "Between me and Parker? Come on. He can do anything he wants."

"I know," Phoebe agreed. "However, he apparently didn't think of contacting you guys or talking to Aziraphale." She shook her head. "I think he forgets that he has friends that actually give a damn and will help out."

"Can I smack him when I see him?" Veronica asked.

"I'm thinking no. I don't need him to become an emodemon you know."

Veronica sighed dramatically. "Ruin all my fun. Anyway, yeah, everything should be good to go this weekend. So I'll see you guys on Friday."

"Thank you so much, V," Phoebe said quietly. "Means a lot to me... and it will to him, too. When he finds out. I kinda didn't tell him I was setting this up."

"He better appreciate you," Veronica said.

Phoebe smiled into the phone. "He does, I know," she laughed. "Besides, he wouldn't want to piss you or Piper off by not appreciating me."

"Damn straight," Veronica said. "Listen, I have some things to do to get ready for my trip. So I'll see you this weekend, okay?"

"Yep. Thanks again, V, and I'll see you this weekend."

"Anytime, Phoebes. Catch ya later."

"Later, V." Phoebe hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief. Cole wouldn't have to be so upset about graduation and their future now.




She would talk to Aziraphale and James and see if there was anything else that needed to be done after she saw Veronica over the weekend.

Now that she had that taken care of, she went back to staring at the water and thinking about other things.

Phoebe shook her head. "None of that now," she said softly, putting an arm around her friend. "I looked into it for the same reason you asked... and then cursed at myself for not being able to do it."

"I hope you don't mean that literally," It was a weak joke, but it was about the best Nadia felt she could do. She leaned into Phoebe. "It's easier, you know . . . when you're the one doing the leaving. At least, I remember it being easier."

Phoebe shook her head, playing with Nadia's hair. "No, realy, it's not."
