Chapter 431 - Qwirkle

"Come on, Girl. Let's get you home.

Darius, do you want to come with?"

"Me?"

"Yes you. I saw how she handled around you. A lot calmer."

"I would be thrilled, but..."

"It's okay. We trust you with Rainbow.

She's no clown."

"Thanks.

BE BACK BEFORE NIGHTFALL."

"YOU BETTER!!!

Hun..."

"I know. I know. They grow up so fast.

Seems like yesterday he was just a boy."

"He's still a boy."

"You know what I meant.

Here he is, off making new friends; saying hi to old ones, and hanging out with anyone within reach."

"He learns from the best."

"Yeah.....you.

*Huuuuewwwww*

Can't wait to see what the future holds for him.

Thought we were so disconnected from our Kingdom, but it seems we are more connected then we realize."

"In more ways then one.

Come on. I want to see what Theresa couldn't."

"Right this way. I will warn you though that we did keep some of the old Carpet. It's in the back all torn up."

"K, I told you that they didn't…."

"Lovely.

Carpet may be a little outdated, but we can still make some design mockups of its texture. Than incorporate that into our painting."

"How can you add layers to…..Nevermind."

"See, I told you it was a good idea."

"Surprised you didn't fall without us here."

"Now you're just being Over.

We managed okay."

"Okay?

This place is like a dream. Amazing what so many hands can do. At this rate, we should be open in no time."

"As for the teachers?"

"One step at a time, Child.

One step at a time."

"Speaking of Children, have you seen our Statue? I mean….Ruby's statue that we helped create. It's not done, but almost."

"We did happen to glance at it before walking in.

Have any idea what you want to inscribe on the plaque?"

"I...…We...…..Guess we haven't thought that far. Just decided that after it's built; once we can visually see it than words will float to us."

"Nothing wrong with that."

*Ding*

"Honey, what are you doing? The Elevator doesn't work."

"Oh. Almost for….."

"Actually...…we did get it working.

Just needed a little oil, and some declogging in the mainframe, but it should be running brand new."

"Or brand old."

*Chaching….*

"Umm…..Doors doen't do that, do they?"

"As I said, 'Brand old.

Can't make it perfectly sound genuine."

"I'm sure people will love it just the same.

You said you divided the teams up per level?"

"Yes."

"Where did you put everything? I have seen no bonfire invitations. Unless you happened to exclude us."

"No. No. No excluding. We just....what the?"

"What?"

"There is a button marked Basement, and then there's a button marked…'C'."

"Catwalk? Those are underneath a house. Nothing wrong with that."

"But this isn't a house.

Anyways, you will be pleased to know that we tried touching up as much furniture as we could; threw away others beyond repair, and then donated the rest."

"To where?"

"Here....there....any house who wanted an upgrade.

Just need a lil paint."

"K, you can't just cover over everything."

"Why not? Seems Tai has been doing this for years."

"You know this, how?"

*Ding...…ding....ding…ding….Earrrrrchhhhhhh*

"Third floor, here we are.

This way.

Found it while one of us was clearing out a bookshelf in the Library."

"What? Ancient texts? A map to a hidden treasure."

"Not a treasure, but a room."
