Eli: Hey all! LOL, yes THAT was the whispering walls. Have a Happy Easter,
everybody!! Here's the next part. Enjoy!
Gabriel went down the hall to the room he saw the girls go into and opened the door. He had only opened it a little when...
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Shut the door, we changin!!!" They screamed at him before he could see them. He shut the door again and let go of the handle as if it was fire. He heard the girls grumbling at him quietly through the door, hearing 'stupid boy!' and 'cooties' more than once.
Finally, the door cracked opened and Eli peeked out at him. "You're bad. You didn't knock." She told him seriously.
He winced at the scolding little voice. "Yeah, sorry."
"You should be punished!" Una yelled from where ever she was in the room. Eli turned around and told her to shush. Una mumbled something in Cantonese that made Gabriel take a step back. 'Whoa, now there's a sentence you don't want to hear from the mouth of babes, another language or not.' He thought to himself as Eli looked back up at him.
"I'm really, really, really sorry. You gonna let me in?" He asked her.
Eli thought for a moment, and then shook her head. "Nu uh." She answered as she smirked. "I think Una is right. You need to be punished." She told him seriously.
He looked at her in disbelief. "What? No way. It was an accident! And I already apologized." He argued back.
"But you should prove that you are sorry!" Una called from inside the room. Eli made a face at the scream. "She's really angry." She whispered to him. "I'll make sure it isn't that bad. Just please make her calm down." She asked him.
He rolled his eyes and sighed. "Sure fine." He told her as he shook his head. 'Whatever. This won't be bad. They're total angels. Besides, they're six, what could they do to me?' He thought to himself as Eli opened the door and let him in, slamming it shut behind him.
-Later-
Ian walked down the hallway collecting the previously discarded clothes. He shook his head, but keeping keep back the grin. The one night he couldn't be patient was the night he was suppose to be watching over two young girls. Sara had told him they had heard stuff, and even though she had covered it up, he still felt guilty over it. The only thing that could have been worse would have been a viewing. He guessed that locking their door to keep them from wandering the mansion that night had had another use.
After returning to his room and returning Sara her clothes, (Well, at least what he could find of them. For some reason or other, he could not locate one of her under garments and had no idea where it had gone.) he walked down to the girls room to see what was going on. Through the door, he could hear Gabriel reading the girls a story.
He didn't wish to interrupt and draw Gabriel's attention to him. (Especially after hearing Sara's ranting about what he had done/said.) So, as silently as he could, he opened the door and looked inside, hoping they wouldn't notice....
And then, he just about had a heart attack!
"Now, the lucky youth soon reached home, and his dear bride was very glad when she saw him return and heard how well everything had gone with him. He brought the King what he had desired- The three golden hairs from the head of the giant.
And when the King saw the four asses-"
"Ohhhhh! You said a bad word!" The girl's accused hotly.
"No, this one means donkeys and not the bad word meaning. Can I go on now?" He asked them impatiently. They nodded their heads. "And when the King saw the four asses laden with gold he was quite pleased and said, "Now are all the conditions fulfilled and you may have my daughter. But tell me, dear son-in-law, whence comes all this gold?"
"What's 'whence' mean?" Eli asked.
"Whence means where did or from where." He explained.
"Ohhhh. So he was asking where he got the treasure from?"
"Uh huh. "I was rowed over a river," he answered, "and I picked it up there, where it lies on the shore like sand." "Can I fetch some as well?" asked the king greedily. "As much as you like," said he. "There is a ferryman who will row you across, and then you can fill your sacks on the other side."
The greedy King set out in great haste upon his journey, and when he came to the river he beckoned to the ferryman to take him across. The man came and told him to step into the boat, and just as they reached the other shore, he put the oar into the king's hand and sprang on shore. Henceforth, for his sins the King had to row back and forth forever. And perhaps he still is ferrying, for no one has yet taken the oar from him. The end." Gabriel closed the book.
Clapping could be heard from the door. The three of them turned their heads and saw watching them. He was trying very hard to keep his composure. He looked right at Gabriel and said, "Very..... Interesting." He said quietly.
Gabriel wanted to bash his head into a wall. It would have preferred that to this. The girls 'punishment' had been to don the blonde wig and the long pink strapless (they had stuffed the chest with one of Eli's shirts.) dress that had found in one of the wardrobes that they affectionately called 'the princess dress'. The look was completed with a silver crown and the tiny, TINY bit of glitter nail polish that the girls had insisted on putting on him.
The deal had been after he read them the story, he could take all the stuff off. He had been speed reading the best he could, and thought he had gotten away with the get up when he finished. But now he had the assassin standing in the door way, laughing at him. 'This couldn't get any worst.' He thought to himself.
Then Sara walked up beside Ian.
"Hey, what's going o-" Her mouth dropped as she blinked numerous times, trying to get her vision straight. "Oh my God!" She said before she burst out into laughter, much harder than he had earlier. With Sara gone, Ian couldn't keep it in anymore and started laughing with her. Gabriel glared at them.
"Oh come on!" He said to them as he threw off the damn wig and shrugged out of the dress. The girls helped him out of it and laid it out on the bed carefully. He looked over at the two laughing adults. "All right, ha ha ha, cut it out all ready." He told them.
They nodded and started calming down. He stood there, arms over chest, glaring at them until they slowly came to a stop. Sara wiped the tears from her eyes and shook her head. "I'm not sure I want to know..."
"Good." He told her as he wiped at some of his now messed up hair. "Don't want to say."
Sara stared at him. "Is that.... Glitter?" She asked. He remembered the nail polish and shoved his hands into his pocket as Sara started cracking up all over again.
The girls frowned. "What? He looked really pretty!" Eli said defensively. Sara laughed harder and had to lean against the door frame for support before she started rolling on the floor with laughter.
The girls, oblivious to why it was so funny, since they saw it as torture, looked at them as if they were insane. "Um, can we hear another story?" Una asked.
Sara was laughing too hard to do any reading, and Gabriel was too pissed to be trusted to read to little girls. And so the task of reading was left to Ian. He picked up the fairy tale book and started reading one of the stories as Gabriel went up to Sara. He shook his head.
"If you couldn't kick my ass and we weren't around six year olds, I'd be calling you something that starts with a 'b' and rhymes with 'itch'." He told her quietly.
She had stopped laughing by now and tilted her head. "Consider it as payback." She told him.
"That reminds me," He said with a smirk as he glanced over at Ian. "Now, about those horror movies..." He started.
She glared warningly. "Curiosity killed the cat."
"But satisfaction brought him back. Come one."
She shook her head. "You're almost as bad as Vicky. Anyway, I would think I should be the one asking questions..."
He hissed. "I don't ask or tell, you don't ask or tell?" He asked as he offered his hand.
She nodded and shook his hand in agreement. "Deal."
-Later-
After the girls had gotten a story, they had to go downstairs and clean up their stuff. They grumbled the entire way down, and were still grumbling as they put all the pillows, bon bons, and pokemon away. As Una tried to jam her monkey back into the side pocket of her backpack, Eli picked up all the left over pop corn and threw it with the rest of the day old pop corn.
She pulled up the table cloth of one of the side tables and moaned. "Why's there so much pop corn here?" Eli asked out loud.
Una stopped struggling with the monkey and looked over. "Don't you remember?" She asked Eli. The other little girl shook her head. Una sighed and put her hand on her hips. "That was the super big ultra secret secret hiding stash!" She explained, exasperated.
Eli thought for a moment before she started nodding. "Oh yeah! We were saving it for when..." She looked around to make sure that the adults hadn't decided to come from the kitchen and check on them. "For when the adults went to sleep? So that we could stuff it in their shoes?" She whispered. Una smiled and nodded.
She smiled too, until she looked back at their secret stash. "Now it all wasted." She said sadly as she gathered it all in her pockets and then using her shirt to act as a pocket. She dumped the left over pop corn back into the bowl.
As she was doing that, Una had gone over on the other side of the room. "Uh oh..." She said to herself. Something made of glass had broken. 'Didn't this happen during the poke battle? Bad squirttle, he's gonna have to sit in the corner with Mikey when I get home!' She thought to herself.
After the pop corn was put away, Eli looked around the room. 'I hope this is clean enough, cause we did a lot of cleaning. I'm glad my room isn't this big, or else Daddy would...'
SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!
The little girl turned her head to stare at the other little girl. Eli tilted her head. "Una, what ya doin'?" She asked, confused. Una didn't reply as she kept snapping her fingers. As Eli crept closer to her, she heard that Una was trying to sing something.
"Just a spoonful of.... Honey? No, uh... Sugar! Just a spoonful of sugar makes the cough syrup stuff go dowwwwwwwwnnnnnn. The cough syrup stuff go down! Just a spoonful of sugar makes the cough syrup stuff go down..... In the most happy, smiley way!" She sang out loud ( Only a little off tune) as she tried to continuously make the snap sound with her fingers.
Eli tapped her shoulder to get her attention. "Una, what are you doing?" She asked again.
"Well, I saw this old movie once, and the lady in it sang this song, and whenever the kids snapped their fingers, everything made itself clean! It was really cool! I wanna see if I could do it." She explained as she snapped her fingers.
Eli's winced. "Una, I don't think it's working." She said quietly, trying not to sound mean. Una put her arm down and rubbed her shoulder. "Yeah, I think you're right." Una agreed. "Guess we just gotta pick it up. I don't want the adults to get mad. Where are we suppose to put the pieces?" She asked. The girls looked around and spotted an old pot by the closest window.
"How bout there? The adults won't know." Una suggested. Eli agreed, not wanting to get scolded again. They carefully began to pick up the shattered pieces and place them into the pot. Just as they finished, Gabriel walked into the room.
"You two cleaning and being good?" He asked as he walked in. Una took a few steps away from the scene of the crime and put her hands behind her back. Eli tossed the last piece of glass into the pot and stood in front of the pot trying to look innocent.
"Yes." They both answered. He looked at them suspiciously. "Uh huh, sure." He told them as he looked around. "Looks like you guys really cleaned up." He added as he spotted the pop corn on the table. "How old is the pop corn?"
"We made it yesterday." Eli told him as she spotted a piece of glass they had forgotten laying less than a foot from her.
"Oh, then it's still good." He reached for the bowl. Una and Eli muffled their laughter as he ate a handful of it and instantly started spitting it out. Eli used the moment to go and pick up the stray piece of glass and toss it into the pot. She cut her finger as she did and pouted as a thin line of blood appeared on the inside of her middle finger.
Meanwhile, Gabriel put the bowl down. "That was nasty. What the hel... Heck did you guys do to that pop corn?" He asked. Eli winced. "It was on the floor. We put it back in there to throw out later." She told him. He took a step away from the pop corn.
"Why didn't you two tell me that before?" He asked them. They looked at each other and shrugged.
Eli pouted even more. "We're sorry, don't be mad." She said pitifully, on the edge of tears. The mix of cutting her finger and facing something mad at her was a bit too much for her to stand.
Gabriel bit back a scolding when he saw that some serious water works was coming upon them. "Hey, hey, hey, none of that. Its alright, I swear. It's fine." He told her as he walked over to her and kneeled down to her level. "Hey, what's wrong?"
She bit her lip as she showed him her finger. "It hurts."
He lifted her little hand up with his own and looked at the cut. "Oh, it's not that bad. You don't need to cry." He told her. She didn't look convinced, so he lifted her finger and very lightly kissed it, careful not to get the blood part. "There, feel better?"
Eli bit her lip even more and nodded. Una flinched back, disgusted. "EWL!!! That's so gross!! Now she's gonna have cooties!! EWL!!! We need hot water, we need disinfectant, we need some iodine!" She shouted. Gabriel just looked over at her and laughed as Sara popped her head in.
"What is going on here?" She asked.
"Nuthin'." The little girls answered innocently.
-Later-
Una had all her stuff packed and ready to go. She and Eli were trying to talk the adults into letting Una stay longer, but they weren't listening.
"Please Aunt Sara, just another hour?" Una asked sweetly. Sara shook her head. "Sorry half pint, but your parents are gonna want you back in less than an hour. Maybe next time." She told her as she had Una shrug on her back pack and handed her squirttle. "Alright, you're all ready. Let's go."
Una shook her head. "Not yet, Aunt Sara. Squirttle says he needs to say good bye to pikachu." She said serously. Sara sighed. "Fine. Eli, go run and get pikachu, and hurry it up cause I have to get Una home." Sara told the other little girl. Eli took off toward the stairs.
"Watch where you are going so you don't trip." Ian called after her. Sara looked at him amused. He shrugged. "I do not think she needs to break anymore furniture."
Gabriel took this time to sneak out. "Alright, I gotta go too. See ya guys." He said as he opened the front door. He turned back and eyed the happy couple with humor. "Oh and Sara?" She turned her head. "Yeah?"
"You dropped this." He said, smirking as he waved her bra in front of her. Her jaw dropped as he tossed it to her and abruptly closed the door behind him as he took off.
Sara was angry she couldn't speak for a minute or two. When she got her composure back, she stuck her undergarment into her pocket. "He's a dead man." She said out loud.
After the girls had said good bye to each other, and the pokemon had given each other poke kisses and hugs, and the adults did their good byes that made the girls go "Gross!!", Sara and Una finally left the mansion. Eli and Ian watched them leave until they couldn't see them anymore.
Ian locked the door as Eli hummed to herself in the hallway. "That was a very good visit. Did you have fun?" He asked her. She nodded. "Did you?"
He nodded as well. "Very much." He answered.
"Cool!" Eli replied. "Oh, Ian?"
"Yeah?"
"You need to put more energy into your cell phone." She told him seriously.
He eyed her suspiciously. "And how would you know?" He asked.
"Cause Iron man called your cell phone while you were asleep. When me and Una answered it, it went out. So, you need to put more energy into your cell phone." She said seriously as his jaw dropped.
She tilted her head and stared at him. "Ian are you trying to catch flies, cause I don't think it is working."
