December 25, time frozen
WELL IF LAWYER BARBIE IS TAKING THE STETHESCOPE, DOCTOR BARBIE IS TAKING LAWYER BARBIE'S PAPERS.
"Uh-uh!" Sara argued. "Lawyer Barbie is all the way over here!"
Ellimist was actually enjoying playing barbies. That was more than can be said for Jordan.
"Well police barbie is arresting doctor barbie and lawyer barbie and throwing them into jail for no good reason at all." Jordan said, a bored expression on her face. She picked up doctor barbie and lawyer barbie and put them inside of a plastic crate.
"Lawyer barbie sues Police Barbie." Sara said. "She and doctor barbie get out of jail, and police barbie goes in."
Jordan sighed and stuck police barbie in jail.
"Did you go to court? Did you sign the papers? Did you file a lawsuit?" Naomi asked. "Sorry, but police barbie doesn't go to jail until proven guilty. No, No, not you Dr. Ode."
Tap! Tap! Somebody was tapping on the window.
Jordan got up and opened the curtains a crack. There was a hawk banging on the window with it's beak.
"What?" Jordan said.
(Open the window!) Tobias said. (I can't hover here forever!)
Jordan sighed when she realized she was hearing the voice in her head. "Why am I not surprised?" She said, and opened the window.
(Just wanted to know why time unfroze just when I'm trying to get out of a house.) Tobias said. (Just out curiosity, I'm not mad or anything, because it was really fun almost having a heart attack!)
"Well, Sor-ry!" Jordan said sarcastically. "First Ellimist was turning us different colors, and then he turned us into aliens, and we asked him to stop. He left for a second, because he was grumpy. Time was unfrozen for a little bit, until we called him back and said he could change us. And now we're playing barbies."
(Okay. That's why your hair's green.) Tobias nodded. (Oddly enough, I understood that. Just please don't let it happen again.)
He was about to fly back out the window when Naomi yelled, "Dr. Ode, please! I need to know exactly what you are suing for!"
(Did you say Dr. Ode?) Tobias said, looking at Naomi strangely.
"Yes." Naomi said slowly. "What's wrong?"
(Oh, man.) Tobias shook his head. (Sheesh. Bad guys need to be more imaginative. First Mr. Visser, Now Dr. Ode. I know we didn't tell you about this person, but that's Cryak's cronie on the other end of the line. Hang up.)
"But-" Naomi said.
(He's just distracting you.) Tobias said. (Hang up.)
Sara pressed down on the two hang up buttons on the phone base. "Sorry, Mommy."
Naomi spluttered and squoze the phone tightly.
IS ANYBODY GOING TO PLAY WITH ME? Ellimist asked sadly.
"Do we have to play barbies?" Jordan sighed.
NO. IT WAS GETTING BORING ANYWAY.
"Thank goodness." Jordan said, throwing police barbie across the room.
WHAT ELSE CAN WE PLAY?
"Hmm." Sara checked the game shelf. "We already played every game we have."
I'LL BE GOING THEN.
"Don't you want to turn us into more aliens?" Sara asked.
I TURNED YOU ALL INTO EVERY LIFEFORM I KNOW OF.
"Hopscotch? Jacks? Jump rope?" Jordan dug through her closet.
WE PLAYED THOSE.
Tobias looked at them fiercely. Sara shrugged her shoulders helplessly. Suddenly Naomi stormed past, fuming.
"I'll be fired!" She yelled. "I'll be demoted, at the very least!"
WHY? Ellimist asked interestedly.
"Well lawyers aren't supposed to just hang up on their clients!" Naomi said, looking accusingly at Sara.
DID YOU SAY LAWYER? Ellimist said. I'M IN NEED OF SOME LEGAL ADVICE.
