Mum said that I could stay for Kane's birthday party. She was going to get Fortuna and Brodie and Todd so that they could come too. This was going to be lots of fun.
On Wednesday, Aunt Debbie rang me. I could tell she was really happy. I asked her why.
"Well, Ria, how would you like to be in next years town play?"
"Really? Cool!"
"Thought that's what you would think. I've organized it with a few people. It's going to be entirely kids doing it."
"Wow. What's the play gonna be?"
"Grease."
"WHAT?! Oh WOW!"
Debbie laughed. "Better come home soon. You'll make a perfect Rizzo. By the sound of you."
I laughed.
When I got off the phone, I went out into the back garden and got on the swing. Kane came out to give me a ice cream he'd made for me.
"Thanks."
"What was the phone call about?"
"Aunt Debbie, she wanted to know if I wanted to be in next years play."
"Bet you said yes."
"Oh gee, someone has been taking genius pills today."
Kane grinned. "What's the play?"
"Grease. Debbie said I might play Rizzo. I'm going home week after next. Hey, maybe you could be in the production too. You know, play Keneckie or Danny or someone."
"That'd be cool."
We both laughed and went inside.
(Jamie's POV)
Wendy came to me and said that she had decided to have an abortion. I understood. It was scar to be pregnant so early in life. I gave her a hug and said I understood. Frodo and I had also talked about that. If Wendy decided to have an abortion, we were going to adopt a child anyway.
"You are a sensible kid, Wendy. But, even with the limited nurses training I've had, you know if you have an abortion, it will limit you chances of getting pregnant by 15%. Not much, I know, but you never know."
"I understand. Thank you Jamie. Big sister."
I gave the kid a hug. I had known the girl since she was a baby (I was thirteen, the same as Blue) and when the Wandow's had moved soon after Wendy was born, to Hobbiton, I thought I'd never see them again, until I met Blue at school. Now she has gone and married Pippin and has two children. Matthew and Hannah Kate. Pippin sure has been a busy boy.
"I'll see you later, honey-bunch. I've gotta go and get Fortuna, Todd and Brodie from Lotti's and bring them here for Kane's birthday. Then they are going back to Lotti's for a week and a half. Then I'm taking them all home."
"All right, J. Bye. I'll see you soon."
"Bye."
I looked into the room where the Centaurs were. Stormy and Swift were just getting up. Rusty was walking around a nit. He did seem a lot stronger.
"Are you going now?" I asked.
"Yes. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality."
"No problem. Hope to stay in touch, Stormy."
"We will." The three went out the door and began to gallop back toward their home.
I mounted my horse, Winsome, and rode toward Lorien.
