Chapter 9
"Ella! So good to see you!" Lisa, the manager of the Chinese Theature, runs up to Ella and hugs her. Ella hugs her back.
"Nice to see you, Lisa. Where are the boys? Mike wanted to see them."
"They are washing dishes as punishment. They broke a Ming vase and got food on a customer."
"Oh."
"How many tonight?"
"Let's see....," Ella looks over her group. "Twelve, exactly."
"You are sure?"
"Yes."
"I give you half-off the price because you work for me. Now that comes to $50."
"No, problem." Ella hands her the money.
"Ella, how do you manage to have so much money?" whispered Robin.
"My aunts gave me a few hundred dollars each to use on my cousins. I have a lot of money."
"Oh." Robin nodded thoughtfully.
Lisa showed them to their table. "What will you be eating tonight?"
"Lo-Mein and Fried Rice sounds good. Everyone all right with that?"
Everyone nodded, except for Jack. What the heck was Lo-Mein? He wondered.
"It's noodles with vegetables, Jack." Robin said as if reading his mind.
"Oh, thank ye, luv." But realized what she said. "How did ye know....?"
"I saw it on your face and I happen to know it is your first time a Chinese restaurant."
He grinned. "Me bonny lass is just as bad as me. She picks up on everything."
Robin blushed. All of a sudden, Ella's phone went off again.
"Hello?"
"Ella! We're at the docks. Can you come pick us up?
"Sure, but just to warn you, we're kind of full in the house. Unless you want the floor..."
"Anything is fine."
"We'll be their soon."
Ella clicks her phone. Questioned looks surround her.
"Lisa, pack up our food! We have to pick up Erindi and Mamorumi."
There was an ocean of groans as they all headed for the door. Lisa hands Ella the food and waves as she leaves. Everyone gathers in the car. Gee is on Ella's lap and Robin has Gabby on her lap. Now there are two extra seats for the new guests.
"Ella."
"Yes, Gee?"
"Sowng. Peas..."
"A song? What do you want to hear?"
"Raven."
"Oh. True to Your Heart. Ok."
She starts singing softly to the little girl.
Baby
I knew at once
That you were meant for me
Deep in my soul I
know
That I'm your destiny
Though you're unsure
Why fight
the tide
Don't think so much
Let your heart decide
Baby
I see your future
And it's tied to mine
I look in your eyes
And see you searching for a sign
But you'll never fall
'Til
you let go
Don't be so scared
Of what you don't know
True
to your heart
You must be true to your heart
That's when the
heavens will part
And baby shower you with my love
Open your
eyes
Your heart can tell you no lies
And when you're true to
your heart
I know it's gonna lead you straight to me
(Got to
be true to your heart)
Someone you know is on your side
Can
set you free
I can do that for you
If you believe in me
Why
second-guess
What feels so right
Just trust your heart
And
you'll see the light
True to your heart
You must be true
to your heart
That's when the heavens will part
And baby
shower you with my love
Open your eyes
Your heart can tell
you no lies
And when you're true to your heart
I know it's
gonna lead you straight to me
(Got to be true to your heart)
(Ya know it's true)
Your heart knows what's good for you
(Good for you)
Let your heart show you the way
(Ya know
it's true)
It'll see you through
(Got to be true to your
heart)
Girl my heart is driving me to where you are
You
can take both hands off the wheel and
Still get far
Be swept
away enjoy the ride
You won't get lost
With your heart to
guide you
True to your heart
You must be true to your
heart
That's when the heavens will part
And baby shower you
with my love
Open your eyes
Your heart can tell you no lies
And when you're true to your heart
I know it's gonna lead you
straight to me
(Got to be true to your heart)
When things
are getting crazy
And you don't know where to start
Keep on
believing baby
Just be true to your heart
When all the world
around you
It seems to fall apart
Keep on believing baby
Just be true to your heart
Gee's eyes start to close as Ella finishes. They have arrived at the docks. Ella, Ishtar and Robin get out of the car and head for the boat they have to pick up the girls. Jack also tags along to get the smell of the salt air.
Erindi and Mamorumi wave from the dock. Ishtar grabs their bags, but falls over, nearly killing himself in the process.
"Need a bit of help, mate?"
Jack tries to pick up the bags, but just falls over with exhaustion. Mamorumi smirks.
"Mary Sues. You can't even carry bags."
She easily picks up her and Erindi's bags with no trouble. Erindi giggles seeing what's going on. Ella and Robin are drowning in laughter.
"Need some help?" Ella asks try to hold her laughs. Ishtar grabs her hand and steadies himself. Jack does the same with Robin's help. They all head back for the car. All the kids are sleeping. Along with Will and Elizabeth, who are in a very cute cuddling position, sleeping.
They slowly get into the car and drive home.
