1The Deal
Weeks passed, life continued as normal. Alex continued to see monsters. Mokie and Seto could never seem to get adopted. And they all remained the best of friends until. Until . . .
Seto, Mokie and Alex were playing in the front yard. And Seto saw something that caught his eye.
"Hey Alex, isn't that the weirdo who was here awhile ago?"
"Which weirdo?"
"The really weird one, that almost ran me and Mokie over on his way out."
Alex looked up to see what he was talking about. "Hey, it is him. What's he doing back here?" She was hoping that she didn't have to deal with that nutcase again.
The man walked into the office with the orphanage director.
"I'm glad you decided to go ahead with this adoption. We thought we would never get rid of that little trouble maker." He pushed a packet of papers and a pen toward the man. He picked up the packet and began to read it
"You make it sound as if she's hard to manage." He continued signing.
"Well, she occasionally has a little bit of a temper and an ego to match." The director was begging to wonder if he was giving him too much information.
"Oh, it's all right, I was a child once. I'm sort of still one today." He chuckled a bit. The director gave a sign of relief. The man had only one more line to sign. It was a dotted line with the word 'signature' in front of it. It was there he signed "Maximilian Pegasus."
