Stormy Weather
That night, a hurricane blew into town. Doctor and Elli hunkered down in the Clinic, sleeping on the fold out couch in Doctor’s study, because it was in the center of the building and had no windows. Elli didn’t sleep well, worrying about her friend Claire and her farm.
When they woke up in the morning, Elli sat up and yawned. “Boy, did I ever have weird dreams last night,” she mumbled, still a little groggy. “I dreamt that Cliff became a drunk and actually punched Claire in the face! So she left him and started sleeping with you! Then, Rick, who turned into some kind of psycho, kidnapped Claire and you died protecting her!”
Doctor, who was still lying down, raised his eyebrows. “That’s not going to happen. Both Cliff and Rick are really nice guys. Stuff like that wouldn’t happen in Mineral Town!” he assured her.
Elli agreed, then turned a mock scowl on him. “Oh, but I see you didn’t argue with the part about sleeping with Claire!” She stuck out her tongue at him playfully.
Doctor turned red and sat up. “W-well, that’s not going to happen either! You know you’re the only woman for me!”
Elli smirked. “And don’t you forget it,” she said authoritatively, pushing him back down onto the bed and straddling him.
“Yes, Mama-chan,” Doctor said playfully. Elli giggled. That was the nickname Claire had made up for her because she was bossy, but caring, like a mother. Doctor liked to call her that when she was being particularly dominant in bed. She leaned down and kissed him, then got up.
While Elli cooked breakfast, Doctor got dressed and headed outside to see if there was any damage. A few branches had fallen out front, knocking the Clinic sign from its hinges. Doctor went back in the house to get a few things to fix it, and pretty soon it was good as new. He returned to the house and washed his hands in the kitchen. He looked at Elli. “Do you think Claire and Cliff got any damage to their farm?”
Elli bit her lip. It was weird, but she really didn’t want to think about it. She was worried, but kept pushing it out of her mind so as not to let it consume her. She kept chopping fruit. “I’m sure they’re fine,” she said breezily.Doctor shrugged and sipped his coffee. “Okay.”They ate and then went on with the day.
Harris showed up just as soon as they opened to have a scratch treated on his leg. Apparently, he had been out late warning everyone of the storm, and tripped and scraped his leg in the darkness. Elli laughed to herself while she prepared some gauze, wondering if that was what happened or if Ann actually kicked him or something.
A week sailed by before they knew it. Elli was waiting for Claire to come to her. Honestly, she didn’t like the smell of the farm (it didn’t seem to bother Claire, however.) So she always let Claire come see her in town. Eventually, Claire did walk through the doors of the Clinic.
“Well, thank the Harvest Goddess! You’re still alive!” Elli beamed as Claire arrived.
Claire smiled sheepishly. “Sorry about that. We’ve been pretty busy...”
Elli looked at her suspiciously, wondering if they had been hiding out and doing it as much as she and the Doctor had. “I’VE been busy as well.” She leaned in conspiratorially. “My little plan worked.”Claire shrieked. “You guys did it?!”
Elli rolled her head back and sighed. “Did we EVER! On the couch in the lobby, on the desk in the study, on that counter (Claire edged away from the counter she was leaning on, making Elli scowl at her, “I’ve cleaned it since!”), on the patient beds - all six of them, in my bed, in his bed, on the floor…”“Okay, okay!” Claire laughed. “I get it! You did it a lot! So how did it all go down?”
Elli leaned in breathlessly, telling her everything they had been up to.Claire tilted her head. “So, are you guys, like, together?”
Elli nodded. “Oh yeah. He’s fallen head over heels. It’s awesome. That’s what 4 long years of working at something earns you. Total devotion!”
Claire giggled with Elli. “Well, good for you.”
Elli looked at Claire pointedly. “That hurricane… did it do any damage to the farm?”Claire averted her eyes. “A little…” she fibbed.
Elli leaned forward and grabbed her by the shoulders. “Look at me. You’re lying to me! I can’t believe it! Why? What’s going on?”
Claire squirmed. “Nothing…” Then she sighed, shuddered, and broke down into tears.
“Oh no, Claire, I’m sorry!” Elli pleaded. Claire wiped her tears away, but more kept coming. “No, I’m sorry. I just didn’t want to talk about it at all.”
She took a deep breath and began. “All the pineapples we planted were destroyed, except for two – out of 72! The chicken coop was totally flattened. All the chickens were killed except for one, who got blown away and we just found her today. The mayonnaise maker – you know, the big 20000G investment?- totally destroyed. It can’t be fixed. The barn was mostly spared, but the cows stopped producing for a while because they were so shaken up. Woolly, one of the sheep, got very sick, and Barley had to come check her out. She had to go on medicine to get well, which sapped the last of our money.” Claire stopped and cried just a little bit.
Before long, Elli was crying along with her. “That’s terrible, Claire! But you should have told me, I’m your best friend!” Elli clasped Claire’s hand. “What can I do to help you?”
“Nothing, but thank you.” Claire said. “We’ve got it all cleaned up. We’ve been fixing up things and making up the money in other ways, like Cliff has been fishing a lot.”
Elli looked at her sympathetically. “I’m so sorry, Claire, you having to go through all that right at the beginning of your marriage.”
Claire shook her head. “No, actually it’s made us stronger. I’m realizing more than ever what a wonderful partner he is, in every way.”
Elli smiled and nodded. She was really happy that Claire was with someone who was so good to her. Elli then got a serious look on her face. “But the most important question, Claire, is…has it affected your love life?”
Claire rolled her eyes and laughed hard. “Oh, Elli, you’re the same as ever. No, it hasn’t. It’s still amazing and frequent.”
“Well, that’s good then,” Elli patted Claire on the head. “Mama-chan worries about little Claire getting enough loving.”
Claire stuck her tongue out at Elli. “I thought you didn’t want to be called that!”
Elli sniffed. “Well, I let Doctor call me that…in bed.”
Claire wrinkled her nose. “Ewww…I’ve heard enough.” She waved goodbye to Elli, explaining that she had to get to the supermarket before they closed.
