Snow White was the last Disney film that the pair watched together, and by that time, Jake had picked up on a pattern. as they watched Snow White live with the seven dwarves (Jake's personal favourite being Dopey- he made Jake laugh), eat the poison apple (making both six year olds shudder- with Mrs Luscombe next door the possibility of eating a poison apple was there), finally wakening by her prince charming's kiss.
"Do you think Mrs Luscombe could poison an apple?" Rachel whispered, hoping that her mother couldn't hear her (Dave and Julie Rafter and Grace Barton were under the impression Mrs Luscombe was a lovely, lonely old lady, in the need of some company. Jake and Rachel and her brothers, on the other hand, saw straight through her. She was a witch, with the capabilities of poisoning them).
"Maybe", Jake whispered.
"Hope not". Rachel shuddered.
"What are you two whispering about?" Julie wanted to know, coming into the room to see the two six year olds huddled together on the lounge. "Feeling better, Rachel?"
Her daughter shrugged- she was still a little pale, but her cheeks were flushed, and she was looking much healthier than she had twenty four hours earlier.
The thought of Mrs Luscombe being the Wicked Queen from the Disney move lingered in the back of their minds, as they set out for school, Julie behind with Rachel's younger brothers. Padding along the footpath, Jake paused when he saw Mrs Luscombe coming towards them...
A bag of apples visible in her shopping bag.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGH!"
The two took off, bolting down the road.
"Rachel!" Julie called, hurrying along without even stopping to greet their neighbour.
Snow White barely escaped a knife, but Rachel barely escaped a poison apple- Jake was there to protect her.
