Hello old friend
Climbing the steps and into the hotel Danny and Zareth stood in the lobby. Danny's eyes roamed over the vast lobby. Was this place really where they were going to stay that night? There was a large pool behind a long row of tinted windows. The place was huge! She looked around at Zareth who wiggled his eyebrows at her. She burst out laughing.
"You planned this one." Danny said with that knowing smile of hers. Zareth shook his head.
"Oh no not me...this was all sparky here. Apparently while you all were traveling he was searching hotel site to find the best one." He told her. He walked over to the desk as Danny looked around some more.
The lobby was full of peach, red, and gold colored furniture. The ceiling was high, and the doors were all gold colored too. She wondered just how many pools the place actually had.
She could see a few people relaxing in the hot tub. No one she knew, she realized she wasn't looking at the building she was looking at faces. Just in case another popped up in her memory. No luck at all. Except that one...she smiled. Zareth chuckled, his hands wrapped around a key card.
"Hey there babe. We should come back here sometime. It'll be fun to just sit back and relax. We can at least go to the pool while we're here." They walked into the elevator and listened to the jazz that came out of the speakers.
"Normally you hear some choking classical music. This is nice." Danny said. Zareth nodded so hard that she was afraid his head would fall off. But she ended up laughing. She had a secret soft spot for jazz. Classical was alright, but it was always the same old thing without any feel. Well...to her anyways.
The doors opened and Zareth walked out and down the hallways. A set of kids ran by them and into the elevator waiting as their parents walked in after them. Danny felt a soft pain in her pump. Zareth smiled behind her.
"Miss the Ottoman?" Zareth asked. Danny nodded walking into the room. Zareth plucked up the room service menu as soon as they were inside.
"Yeah. I'll give them a call before we go to the pool that way I can at least tell him we're alright, and to say ``I love you." She said. Danny was incredibly clingy when it came to Otto. So much different then she was with Inky. Otto was the 8th try to create a child. Danny was overprotective of him in many, many ways.
Zareth plucked up the phone and began to order dinner.

Hobbs wasn't a normal Butler to his boss. The boss people would just call Dr. Burns. Even though it wasn't his real name. Actually Hobbs wasn't his real name either, but Burns didn't know that either. Who was Hobbs? No one knew. He arrived one day out of the blue. He was a mystery to everyone around. The perfect Butler. Always did what his boss would say. He was mostly a hire Butler not just Burns' Butler.
Hobbs pushed the motorcycle into a clearing and began to push pieces of wood into the pile and started building the starter for the fire. Sitting down on the motorcycle waiting for the fire to build before pushing a motorcycle into the pile. He then walked back over to Dareths Motorcycle and pushed it into the bushes. He wasn't going to destroy a perfectly good motorcycle. Specially that one.
"Hobbs!" Burns yelled from the limo. Hobbs looked up at his boss who pointed at him from the window. "Make sure it burns good." He said.
Hobbs nodded motioning to the fire and threw a can of lighter fluid on it. A bright blue ploom of fire caused the fire to grow in intensity. "Very good Hobbs. That looks very good." He waved as the driver drove off out of the gate. Hobbs sighed in relief glad his boss didn't see what he did. He walked back over to the bushes and pulled the motorcycle out running his fingers over the finish and let his disguise fall. The bright blue hair upon his head looked just like his dads.
"Hello old friend."
