"Thank you. I won't be long. Thank you."
"Ummm....what are you doing here, Honey?"
"I can't leave them at home. They came back yesterday, but today I have to...They can't stay home alone.
I know you don't like doing this, so if you just want me to take them to their Grandmas then..."
"No. No. I can take them. Nothing is going on here."
"Thank you.
Hello Ruby."
"Ma'am."
"Hello boys."
"Ma'am."
"Girls, make sure they stay in line for tonight.
Very few that Rosa comes out Publickly, so I'm sure their Wives would want someone to dance with tonight."
"Will do."
"You have our word."
"Do I have yours?"
"Eeeeeee….yes."
"Good.
Once I am done shopping, I will pick them up. And I expect...….both of them."
"You have nothing to worry about."
*Mmuay*
"Bye, my babies. Mommy loves you. Be good."
"We love you too, Mom; and we will."
"...................So now what?"
"Well. We.....will just have to make do the best we can.
HOW'S IT coming, Cliff?"
"ALMOST DONE.
Just a few more shots and we should be good.
*Click...click...….click….*
Oh yeah. Give me that dashing smile of yours. There we go."
"Like this?"
"Perfect."
"I'm going to go find Ruby now. See you."
"Thanks for your time, Rainbow.
Now comes the fun part. I'll just….
UMM, RAINBOW. You forgot one of your...…."
"WHAT?"
"NOTHING? It's all good. Nevermind.
I'll take this Vile. Might come in handy later.
Why couldn't she mark these? I don't know if this one is the cure, or the reversal."
"Ruby, there you are. I just had the most...…interesting experience.
Who are they? Are they part of the plan as well?"
"Oh...… no, no, no. These are my Kids.
I know, I don't see them as much; so whenever my Wife starts to get busy, she drops them off with me.
Usually at the Warehouse.....or the Office where I am. Low-key harmless stuff you know? I never take them to see the action."
"You call this low-key?"
"Well. I….just...…I couldn't leave them with their Grandma. All she does is sleep and let the Kids help themselves. I know my wife doesn't want to leave them here, but she knows I will do my best to at least make sure they stay in one piece when she gets back."
"Will….…they stay in one piece?"
"As long as there are no Dragons here."
"AHaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaaaa.
G, aint no Dragon. Maybe a large evil Troll; you know with a hammer he swings as a weapon, but definetly no Dragon. He may look as tall, but a Dragon no."
"How can you all just stand there and laugh like nothing is wrong? Do you realize what you're doing?"
"Theo. Theo.......I got the...Uhmmm….."
"Yes, Cliff?"
"The photos are uploaded."
"Good.
Now that we have something physical to sell, let's redecorate this place to make it more welcoming."
"Already steps ahead of you.
*Ding...dong*
That must be them. Excuse me a sec.
Hello."
"Ruby, when you called us over to secure your personal belongings, we thought you meant your Home, or perhaps a place meaningful to you."
"This place is meaningful to me.
It's my Restaurant."
"Uhmmm....No.
Your Restaurant blew up in a fire. We saw it in the News."
"You did? Well, this is my new restaurant."
"It is?"
"It is?"
"This is why you want this place?"
"Want?
I thought we already had!!!!!!!!!!"
"You are way too intoxicating to deal with, Ruby. You know that?"
"Even heroes have two sides."
