*Ding...…..Dong*
"Hello?"
"Hello?'
"Hello?"
"Hello?"
"Oh, hi, Hailey."
"HI, Mr. White.
How'd you sleep?"
"Like a bab…..*Crack*
By?"
"What's this?"
"Everyone has one.
All it says on the front is to crack the Eggs, and then meet at Upfront in two hours."
"That's Twelve. Okay?"
"Remember the order in which you smelt, for if you forget you might quit."
"A game?"
"Only one way to find out.
Meet you in a few hours."
"You seriously can't stay, Ruby? Not even for a little bit?"
"Wish I could, but I know the Town will be safe in your trusted hands. As long as you keep them in one place, you can...."
"Just go, Ruby.
Remember."
"Yeah, yeah; I know. I am no longer the one in charge."
"In front of the scenes."
"Or behind."
"We can take it from here."
"You Kids really ok with this? You don't know any of them."
"Than this is perfect way to find out about them, while they find out about us."
"Whoever gets picked; don't stray the Humans too far away...…and have fun above anything else."
"Go, Head Mistress.
Consider this our recess. You taught us well, and now we want to pass the play along with others."
"I...I....."
"Ruby, there you are? You ready?"
"Rainbow, you can't come. You're not a...."
"Royal?"
"No. A King or Queen.
Besides, someone needs to stay in order to watch your Kingdom."
"Kyle is staying; and he is older."
"Age does not always mean smarter. You know that. Besides…."
"I know, but I really want to go with you."
"Then who will watch your Kingdom?"
"You mean...….your Kingdom?"
"No...….Noooo...…Nooooooo.
My Maids may now be your Maids, and they may be older now, but they are still Maids. They can't watch a Kingdom."
"And why not?"
"They.....uhhhh...….they...…..they are not of blood!!!!"
"You're not a human, and yet I treat you no different."
"I...….I…..…."
"Just let her go, Ruby."
"But she.......Come on."
"What?"
"I understand your urge, and who am I to stop you.
You're like a caged Dove."
"............What was that all about?"
"You saw that too?"
"Yeah. Why did Ruby change her mind?"
"Maybe she sees something in Rainbow that we don't. Wonder what it could be?"
"Think of a Mirror.
...….Come on, we need to make this place a little more presentable for the rest of Town."
"This seems more like a chore than a game."
"We're here. We're here. We're here. Sorry we are late."
"Their is no such thing. We are happy you are earlier, Mom and Dad."
"So...…."
"Their is no removing furniture today. Just twisting it to form a puzzle."
".......Are they on wheels?"
"Come on, Son. Just show me where."
"Woooo...Put your shirt back on. Exposing too much, don't you think?"
"By the end of this day, I will be as fit as Darius; as shiny as Apple, and as quick as Rainbow."
"Hun, numbers don't lie."
"But looks can."
