Summary: Evie suffers a horrible accident with her car, and Mal and the others have to handle the consequences. But no one could have expected the horrendous loss than came from that accident.



   "And so, I decided it'd probably be a good idea just to go and take it to the customer quickly," Evie explained finally, describing her logic in this endeavor as she addressed Mal on the phone.

Right now, Evie was on the road in the pouring rain to bring a dress to a customer. She normally would have shipped the clothing to a customer with a speedy delivery, but she knew that this particular person needed the dress by the next morning, so she guessed that she would just go and take it to them immediately. She knew how it felt to need something on short notice.

Mal had called Evie during this adventure, wondering where the bluenette was because Mal had come over to Evie's starter castle to hang out and Evie wasn't there. And since then, Evie had been talking on the phone to Mal.

After all, there was no greater treasure than having time to talk with her most favorite person in the world.

"That was thoughtful of you. More thoughtful than I would probably be, actually," Mal complimented, and Evie chuckled, glancing down at the phone in her lap as if it were actually her best friend's face. However, she quickly returned her gaze to the road before her.

"Come on, M. You've just got to give yourself a chance. You're the most thoughtful person I know," Evie proclaimed. However, she couldn't help but puff up in response to the high praise Mal had just given her.

"I don't know about that," Mal replied, obviously taken off guard just a little, and Evie smiled, warmth glowing throughout her. Mal always did react that way to very sincere compliments when she wasn't really expecting them. No matter how many times Evie had offered them at unconventional times.

"Well, you should. You're wonderful," Evie told her heartfeltly, and the two fell into a comfortable silence. That was the wonderful part of her and Mal's relationship. There was never an awkward silence, and they were comfortable enough with one another to not have to fill every void with words.

"Y'know, I kind of wish you would've waited," Mal expressed with a bit of a sigh.

"Why's that?" Evie questioned, furrowing her brow as she noticed the rain pick up on the windshield before her. She could just hear the concern in Mal's voice.

"Well, I read on the forecast that a heavy storm's coming in, and there's a chance that the rain could come down so hard that you can't see what's right in front of your nose," Mal explained, and Evie felt a warmth wrap around her heart as a swell of fondness filled her.

It really was everything to have her sister love her so much, and she couldn't help but wish Mal was there so she could hug her tightly. Evie really did love Mal more than anything in the world.

"You're sweet to worry, M. But don't get too worried. It's not so bad right now," Evie expressed, squinting a bit as she realized the rain was picking up with her every word.

"After all, I've got Charlene, right?" Evie attempted to reassure the girl, squeezing the furry steering-wheel cover underneath her hands and fondly glancing at the solar-powered hula-skirt girl on the windshield.

"Yeah, but does Charlene have you?" Mal questioned and Evie laughed at Mal's words. Evie could easily tell that Mal wished she was in the car next to Evie, and to be honest, Evie really wished she was. Maybe Mal could help her navigate this ever-increasing rain.
