If they didn't want in on it... FINE. He'd have it for himself.

After flashing a quick and disapproving look to the girlies, Zeke turned back and focused his attention on Gavin again. Did he not understand that Emily would break things... things that might be broken on him, if not him. But theeeennn what? "Well, then you'd be in trouble. Seee.. she's stuck with me forever, but as far as I can tell you're not married to her, so if you make things difficult for me and I get upset and I upset Emily, then she'll be upset with you for upsetting me." Seriously, how many more times did he need to say it? If Gavin wanted things to work, pleasing him would be a good way of going about it. Mmhhhmmm.

Emily wouldn't get over it, not if he reminded her of it every day, and he wouldn't get over it if he had to be bored and missing out on fun stuff all the time because they worked and stuff.

It was becoming clear that Gavin wasn't going to pinky with him, so he dropped his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly. Trust his words. Words were nothing without action - like pinky swears.

Perhaps though he'd still be useful with zoooo plans, because he couldn't make those on his own, there was only so much he could do to plead with Emily, but her no was a no. Which is why he needed leverage, like the hopes of two girlies and her boyfriend. They had to be as invested in this as he was for it to work. "Oooohhh, you guys can skip this weekend so we can zooo, yeah?" he asked turning to them, all smiles again.

....

....

.....

Would they be caught? Zeke looked back at Ashely - she was good with tagging along and stuff. Being locked up here might not be too bad so long as they could wander around. He paused long enough to motion for Avery to hurry, because really, she didn't want to be left by herself. It might scare her or something.


Zeke's disappointed looks did very little to Ashley. She still found it funny how he wanted her uncle to make pinky promises and the way he was trying to so hard with words that wouldn't work either, so yeah, she was ignoring his looks in favour of glancing around the room again. If there were other kids being dropped off she couldn't see them coming and didn't think she wanted them on their adventure either.

Whaaaaat? Avery's brows crinkled at the look Zeke was giving her. She didn't DO nothing. It was him that was being funny. How come he didn't think they would snicker? That's what people did when others did something funny DUH. It only made her cling tighter to her uncle. Least he wasn't giving her looks...yet.

Gavin could appreciate that the kid was trying to use logic. Interesting logic at that. He seemed to know the ins and outs of manipulation enough to make a decent case for himself and again it was applause worthy...but ineffective at most. When playing cards like those you needed to be sure the person sitting across the table from you didn't have a soaring ego. Gavin wasn't worried about his relationship with Emily, not even a little. Marriage wasn't something either of them had factored into the equation but that didn't make him any less permanent.

He gave a firm nod. "She would be upset at me, all kinds of upset for upsetting you. It'd cause problems for sure." He might have been patronizing him just a bit but it was better than having him think he wasn't top priority for Emily. "But it's just a pinky promise. It's not that serious and mature people wouldn't take it that seriously. It's the type of thing I wouldn't even expect from Avery so certainly not you either." Geddit?

He must have gotten it because his eyes were narrowing. That was an interesting enough sign.


The smile wasn't anymore convincing than his words. Zeke wanted her to miss football to go somewhere she'd already been. Was he even listening to himself? They had a match coming up, she was going to impress her coach and get to play striker. The magizoo could wait. Or well..."I'll think about it." But that was all she'd promise for now.

Missing Ballet? Non non non. You didn't miss ballet. She would miss a dance, not learn a step, fall into the group dance. Noooon. She glanced up at her uncle first for suggesting it then over at Zeke for thinking it could work. If she missed ballet the world would end and she'd die. Skip? Jamais!

But...but Ashley was thinking about it. That was never good. Thinking led to things happening. Avery didn't respond, she just looked to her uncle again wondering how serious he was being.


SPOILER!!: Zeke and Ze ghost's dolly

Yep... he wasn't waiting. His legs moved a little faster forward, but he was careful not to make any sound.

Peeking around the corner again, she seen her new friends talking...Did they want to stay? Were they thinking about leaving? No...Virginia needed to make them see how fun it was here......and what was a majigoo?

She'd need to get their attention...

It was sad she had to hide. The people that were in her home now were different from the others. They had sticks that did funny things and talked about mujjles. How were people scared of her when they were so strange? Trying not to let that make her too sad, she peered down at her feet.

Catching sight of her hand, her best dolly, Anna, was hanging there, loosely. Maybe if she used Anna to get their attention, they would come away from their mommy and daddy...She moved her dolly out from behind the wall just far enough for them to maybe see her. Did they see Anna?

Could she sing right now? The mommy and daddy might not like that...


Zeke caught her attention again when his fingers flew to his lips. Her brows crinkled while she tried to understand but it wasn't until he pointed that she saw...saw that. It looked like a doll. The first she'd seen in this place. At the very least they could have an operation on it so she hastened her steps after Zeke. A glance back said Avery hadn't seen and still wasn't coming. "Regardez Avery, une poupée." Her sister liked dolls, oui? Come on.

She wasn't looking. It was probably something scary--a doll?? Wheeeere? The 7 year old scanned the area Zeke and Ashley were headed to and saw a doll sticking out that wasn't there before. A pretty one too. Could she play with it if she went? Slowly She released her uncle's hand and started after them.

How come it wasn't there before? She would have gone with them sooner.


Regardez Avery, une poupée = Look Avery, a doll.
