Yet another day found Lex sitting by the docks. It wasn't like she came looking for Mr. Giant Squid everyday but she was quite diligent in doing it. One day he'd show up and she'd dive in after him like a maniac be as happy as an Alexa in a candy store but for now she sat, feet kicking in the cold water.

It kept her awake.

Besides, it wasn't all that cold. Not as cold as it'd been when it drew closer to December. Spring would be soon--just don't tell the climate that because it seemed to have plans of it's own. Cold cold cold. How was anyone meant to enjoy ice-cream when it was always so cold? Oh right. Like this. She shoved another spoonful into her mouth then went on looking.

One day the Giant Squid will come. One day.

Preferably before she graduated, which would be in a few years but you know, who's counting?
