In the PM chapter Sarah has no problem accepting that Arle is on Earth. There’s actually a bit of unwritten story related to this. Without it, there’s a bit of a plot hole concerning Sarah’s relatively lackluster reaction to seeing Arle.
Sarah opened the door to see Samuel standing there. He told her they needed to meet at the park. “Someone’s waiting to see you.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t give you that information,” the lady behind the counter said.
“But I’m sure she attends this school,” the dark-haired teenage girl said back.
We only had one vanpool stop this morning, so that left a lot less time for writing.
Everyone gathered in the physician’s room. Shamrock untied Alfalfa while Clover untied Piñole.
From the top of the grassy hill, Macrae slowly walked down to the group below. “Clover and Shamrock, how good to see you. Cecilia, I see you have a jewel, too. And of course, our dear Melilot.”
I took the last 164 words from the end of yesterday’s writing (after rewriting the nonsense, from being half-asleep while writing, out of them), and used that as the start for this morning’s writings, instead. It worked nicely to have a “chapter break” at this point.
Clover passed through the mirror. Shamrock and Chelia waited for her to join them. “Sorry I’m late,” she said as she greeted the two. “Do you have the yellow jewel?”
The sun started to lower in the sky to the west. Bernard watched it through the leaves and branches overhead. He looked south for a moment, at the distant palace, then back west again. In one hand he held the two jewels in his possession, one red, one orange. “How about… Macrae…”
AM words: 1,026. Under goal. There were some things in the vanpool that made it hard to work. If I keep up at this rate, I won’t reach 50,000 before Monday, or later. There’s a lot of room for increasing the length of the chapter by putting in a real confrontation between Clover and Melilot. PM words: 1,748. A bit better. Total words: 2,774.
