Thanks for the reviews everyone!

Hummerhome, living room
Heather: *pushes blanket* When is Horatio going to be finished painting our room? I want to go sleep in there.
Jenna: He said it's going to take 4 days for the paint to dry.
Heather: 4 days? Nothing takes that long. How many coats did he put on?
Lora: Probably enough to seep into the outside of the Hummerhome.
Ryan: Stop kicking me, Heather.
Heather: Why don't you have your own room?
Ryan: The paint seeped into it and now it has to air out.
Heather: Oh. *kicks Ryan*
Ryan: STOP.
Heather: Shush, you'll wake everyone up.
Jenna: Why don't you just stop hitting him?
Heather: I don't know, it's like a reflex. *kicks*
Ryan: OW. At least cut your toenails.
Heather: *frowns* My toenails are fine.
Lora: How about I sit on you both. *jumps up, sits*
Heather: OW!
Ryan: OW!
Lora: Hey this is kind of cushy.
Ryan: *looks at Heather*
Heather: *looks at Ryan*
Ryan: *nods*
Heather and Ryan push Lora off the couch
Lora: AH! *falls over*
Jenna: Oof. Way to land.
Lora: You guys, my leg is broken. You could have broken it even more.
Screaming is heard
Heather: *looks down hall* What was that?
Ryan: *sits up* I don't know, it sounds serious.
Jenna: Maybe it was Horatio dreaming about Stetler again.
Anni: *runs out of room*
Ryan: Anni, are you okay?
Anni: Th-they're in there. They won't leave me alone.
Heather: Who?
Anni: *grabs large knife from counter* I have to, I have to.
Ryan: *stands* Are you feeling okay? *walks over*
Anni: *lifts knife*
Ryan: *lifts hands* Whoa. Uh...can someone get Horatio?
Heather: And try to get past her? I don't think so.
Jenna: Look, Anni, you're obviously upset about something so why don't we put mister knife down and have a cha-
Anni: NO! *swings knife*
Jenna: OW! Damn girl, that was my arm! *holding arm*
Ryan: *grabs blanket* Okay, we'll do this like fire. *grabs Anni with blanket*
Anni: *slices through blanket* I HAVE TO STOP THEM!
Ryan: AH! AH!
Anni: *clocks Ryan in the face*
Ryan: AH! *falls backward*
Anni: *falls back against counter* They're trying to take me. *starts carving arms*
Heather: Whoa, Anni! *runs over* Hey, cut it out.
Lora: Interesting choice of words.
Heather: *grabs Anni's hand*
Anni: *screaming*
Heather: Geez, she's strong. Someone help me here.
Jenna: *runs over* What do you want me to do?
Heather: Help me!
Jenna: With what?
Heather: HER!
Jenna: Oh. Right. *grabs Anni*
Anni: *screaming*
Delko: *walks in* I've got Taco Bell!
Anni: *screams obscenity*
Delko: *lifts brow* Excuse me?
Speed: *walks in*
Heather: Someone get a towel.
Jenna: But Horatio will get m-
Heather: Just do it!
Jenna: Okay.
Speed: Anni?
Anni: *slaming knife into counter* GET OFF OF ME!
Jenna: Is she on something? Geez.
Heather: Try to take the knife out of her hand.
Anni: *pushes Jenna*
Jenna: AH! *falls backwards*
Heather: Help! Someone help me hold her!
Delko: Don't hurt her, don't hurt her.
Speed: *walks over* Move.
Heather: She'll get away.
Speed: *grabs Anni's arm, pulls it behind her*
Heather: What are you doing? You're hurting her!
Anni: *screaming*
Speed: *turns around, slams Anni into floor* Eric, help me out.
Delko: *kneels on Anni's back*
Speed: Someone grab the knife.
Heather: *grabs knife*
Jenna: What's wrong with her?
Ryan: *holding nose* Yeah, she's on acid or something.
Speed: *lifts Anni's arm* Great.
Delko: Did she do that?
Jenna: She said they were coming for her or they wouldn't leave her alone or something.
Lora: Man I never heard her swear before. That was so cool.
Delko: She's relaxed, is it over?
Speed: Anni.
Anni: *blinks* ...OW! OW. What the hell are you doing?
Speed: *lets go*
Delko: *sits on floor*
Anni: *turns over, looks at arms*
Heather: You went crazy.
Delko: *hands over towel*
Anni: *covers arms* Crazy huh.
Ryan: You have a mean left hook.
Anni: *nods* ...I can't believe you took me down like a criminal.
Delko: It works. How do you feel?
Anni: Tired. Confused...confused.
Lora: I got it on my phone if you want to see.
Anni: *frowns*
Jenna: So is anyone going to explain?
Delko: Long story short, it's the brain's way of saying 'sayonara'.
Anni: *looks at Eric*
Delko: *grabs Anni's hand* Let's get you cleaned up.
Anni: *nods*
Delko/Anni leave
Speed: *sits against counter*
Heather: I take it she's not doing so hot.
Jenna: Wait, I missed something. Why's her brain speaking Spanish?
Everyone: *looks at Jenna*
Heather: Um, Japanese.
Jenna: What about Japan?
Heather: *shakes head* Nevermind.
Bathroom
Anni: *sitting in tub*
Delko: *turns on sink*
Anni: He told you.
Delko: I must have pulled at least 32 teeth first.
Anni: It's not really a big deal.
Delko: *turns around* How's that?
Anni: *shrugs* It is what it is.
Delko: I know you don't want to be the center of attention unlike some people in this Hummerhome but we all care about you. We'd all go to the ends of the earth for you and you can't even afford us the courtesy of letting us know what's going on in your life? This is something serious and I think it warrants an explanation. You don't need to give away the gory details but consider all the friends you've made here and how this might impact them. Or scare them.
Anni: Look, I'm sorry but this is something I need to deal with on my own.
Delko: You don't have to.
Anni: *scratches head* Taking lessons from Horatio?
Delko: Hey, someone has to take over when he croaks.
Anni: *smirks*
Jenna: *knocks on door* Can we come in already?
Delko: Yeah, sure.
Jenna: *walks in*
Heather: *runs in, hugs Anni*
Anni: OOF!
Ryan: *walks in* You can hit me any time. I'm used to it.
Lora: Where did you learn to throw around a blade like that?
Anni: *lifts brow*
Delko: Not helping.
Lora: Hey, we just planned this coombaya in the hall so bear with me.
Anni: *stands* Guys, I'm fine. You can all go back to whatever you were doing.
Ryan: ...So that means I get to be hit some more. *sigh* Fine. *walks away*
Heather: Hey wait for me! *runs*
Living room
Anni: *walks over* Hey.
Speed: *washing cloth*
Anni: I'm sorry.
Speed: It's not your fault.
Anni: *touches Speed's arm* I just wanted to s-
Speed: *pulls arm away*
Anni: ... You know, this would be a lot easier if you weren't distancing yourself.
Speed: Would it.
Anni: I wish you'd show just a little support. I mean, you were great in the beginning.
Speed: *wrings out cloth*
Anni: Look, it's not my fault you can't connect emotionally.
Speed: I don't want to fight.
Anni: That's the problem. You don't want to do much of anything with me.
Speed: So how do we fix this?
Anni: ...*tilts head* What?
Speed: You suggest a solution, I suggest a solution, we discuss it and meet half-way. Is that not how adults do things?
Anni: Only creepy Stepford ones.
