"We got the Ice Cream. We got the Ice Cream."
"Happy you let me go now?"
"You're right. Kain would never let you do this."
"I wonder how he is doing right now? Still asleep?"
"Ummm...
Ohhh. I see him. He's taking a shower."
"He's taking a...…you're not Ruby."
"No. I can only see through my animals that I trained. Wait, that means….."
"Ants are in the Castle. I'll go find the bug spray."
"Wait. Wait. You can't hurt them. They are just living their lives; same as ours."
"Rainbow.
*Snap. Snap*
….Rainbow."
"Huh?"
"Come back to reality.
As Kain said; 'Use your own eyes. Use your own head'.
Your Ice Cream is melting."
"My…..DeathPetal, drop us off here."
"Rainbow, what are you doing? This is not the front gate."
"I know. Kain is going to expect us to walk through the front; but he will never look behind the Castle.
That way, we can eat our Ice Cream in peace…..climb up the side, and all is well with the world."
"You sure?"
"Not yet?"
"Huh?
What do you...oh....no.no. no. How'd you get those Chocolate Pieces? You told me to…."
"Yes, I told you; but Waiter gave them to me.
Just slurrp quietly. Kain is out of the shower, so now the noise of the Head won't drown us out."
"I thought you said Magic is not for bad deeds?"
"This isn't. We're defending."
"Rainbow."
"Defending ourselves from getting caught."
"Don't make a habit of this."
"Wouldn't dream about it."
*Phrrurrruuueuwwaaarrrmmmm*
"Oh look. A Shooting Star. Make a wish."
"But all my Wishes have already come true."
"You sure about all of them?"
"Stop looking at that. I'll wash it off when we get inside."
"You better. If Kain ever sees you, then..."
"He won't."
"What about Morando and Sky? They're always looking down on us. I wonder what they'd say. Maybe it was their star that twinkled."
"If so, then they would definitely lock me in my room until I said I was sorry for sneaking out."
" 'No Supper for you, Miss, until you feel a reason you need to be at the Table.' "
" 'But I do have a reason, Father. A really, really good one.' "
" 'Oh. You do, Rainbow. What's that?' "
" 'I'm...….I'm.....…Really hungry.' "
"GIRLS....GIRLS.....
Natysh, where are you? Rainbow?
…Maids, have you seen the girls?"
"Girls?"
"They said they were going to go get Ice Cream, but please tell me you stopped them. You know that they….."
".......Can't be up past our bedtime?"
"Natysh, Rainbow. I'm so glad you are ok. You had me worried."
"Why wouldn't we be ok?
We just went to…."
"The park to have a chat."
"Uhuh?"
"Yeah."
"Then what's that cherry smudge on your lips?"
"That's not cherry..."
"We had Ice ICream. I had double dipped; chocolate and vanilla swirl and boy oh boy oh boy was it so good. I wanted to add extra chocolate sprinkles, but Rainbow wouldn't let me. So I put them back; Just to reconized by a group of late night Ice Cream eaters. Can you believe how packed Cones was.....this late at night? I didn't see it so packed. Then we go home, and I thought all hope was loss, but it turned out that Rainbow had the Chocolate Pieces all along. So our night was saved. And….yeah."
"Um?"
"Natysh, what happened to 'Brother pack, brothers back.
Sisters Pack; we don't snap.' ?"
"Would you rather have me tell him your secret truth?"
*Gulp*
"Nope."
"That's what I thought."
"I forgive you, Girls. Just don't do anything like that again...…without letting me come with you. I know that I might not make the best decisions for you from here on out, Natysh; and that Rainbow knows you more then I; but...."
"It's ok. Kain. We won't sideline you, and do our best to listen and follow what you lead."
"Thanks."
