"Phew, that was a close one."
"Too close to home."
"Everybody be very queit but feel free to look around. I'm just going to tell you though that most of this stuff is....*Creak…tishh* Gone?
No, no, no, no, no!!! Aaaghhh!!!!"
"Ruby, what is it?"
"It can't be, it can't be; it just can't. He took all the pictures and broke their frames. Thought something was different when I was staring at the murals on the walls. There's no family photos."
"Now we know why he asked where you found your family's photo album."
"Still got your journal from Sunscare?"
"Right here, but I left the photos behind."
"That's ok. All the photos you need are right here."
*Creaaaakkkkk*
"Shh!! Turn off the lights. Here he comes."
"If I have to deal with another offer before the nights up then yea, I just might give the house over to Ruby. Who am I to think she understands me? My family did the books for her house, the financial, kept the sharks at bay, and welcomed the strangers; but noooooooooo. We all toiled while her family reaped the rewards. Just wish she could step in my shoes for a day. How would she like it if I were away so long then magically came home as if no time had pased expecting everything to be as it ought? I wasn't in the wrong, was I?"
"Ruby?"
"Yes, Mr. Heartchild?"
"I don't want to sleep in your garden anymore. I want to sleep in your house."
"I do too, Mr. Heartchild. I do too."
"Ruby, how big is this bed? Two kings, three kings?"
"Twelve feet across by 13 feet length."
"You slept together?"
"Nope. My house, my rules."
"Where uh, should we sleep?"
"Can I use the bathroom?"
"Downstairs, off branch from the Living room."
"Thanks."
"Wait, I haven't told you where the Living room is."
"I'LL FIND IT!!!!!"
"Muaaaooor"
"KodKod, didn't see you there. Are you ok? Sorry to step on your tail. Kodkod, wait; I said sorry. Come back here. Where are you going? Don't go outside. I can't…..*Brrr*. KODKOD? WHERE'D YOU GO?
KODKOD!!! WHERE ARE....*Ouch* Hey there."
"Hurmph!!"
"You…you….you're a Wapiti, but that's impossible. You're not supposed to be…..KodKod!!! There you are."
