After that, they headed back up to the reservoir and watched a movie. Salvatore wasn't paying attention, but Seline was pretty into it. "Look at all those dogs! Can you imagine what having 101 dogs would be like?" He looked at the movie, and there were, in fact, 101 dogs on the screen. "It would probably be like having one dog, but then add a hundred more. Do you think there's room in the castle for 101 dogs?" Seline thought this over, then laughed. "Probably, but do you really think Mama would let us have any dogs at all? They'd probably chew up everything or shed fur all over the floor! It would be like a carpet, except not attached to the ground! Bleh, that would be gross to walk on." They continued watching the movie, until Salvatore got up a few minutes later. "Do you want some popcorn?" Seline looked at him, a bit confused. "What's popcorn?" He shook his head. "It's popcorn, how have you not had it? Ooooh, you're gonna love it! It's the best invention since sliced bread." That didn't really clear up what it was. Maybe it's like corn, but… Popped? What would that even look like? And there's a ton of better inventions than sliced bread! Like… Cupcakes! Oh, and apparently cake. Uncle Karl seems veeeeery passionate about it. Still not sure what it tastes like, but oh well. Seline looked around the small room, and noticed a calendar on the wall. May 4th… It's getting closer to my birthday. I'm excited to turn 8! But what'll happen when I keep getting older? Eventually, I'll be older than my sisters, right? Maybe Mama can do whatever she did to them to help me not age anymore. I want to stay with my family. "Oh, dear…" Unfortunately, Salvatore had forgotten one of the key steps to making popcorn, which is putting the lid on. Seline got up to see what was happening, and laughed at the popcorn flying everywhere. "Is it supposed to do that?" She asked as they tried to dodge the popcorn onslaught. "Nope!" Seline (quite impressively) caught a piece of it in her mouth, and her eyes lit up. "This is so yummy!" She tried to catch more, and a surprising amount actually went in her mouth. "I don't care how you're actually supposed to eat it, I think THIS is the best way to eat popcorn." Salvatore would've preferred it in a bowl and not all over his floor, but he did have to agree that this was more fun. I need to put up a sticky note or something that reminds me to put on the pot lid. Eventually, the Popcorn Battle of the Reservoir ended, and they cleaned up the remaining kernels. "No eating the ones on the floor." Seline frowned and tossed it in the trash can. "Now, let's try this again, and this time we'll do it right." Salvatore did, in fact, put the lid on this time, and the popcorn came out perfectly. When they got back to the movie, they found it had already ended. "That's alright, I've got a ton more old Disney movies. You can pick out one!" Seline looked through them, and settled on one.

When Karl entered the reservoir, he was shocked to find the two crying at a movie. "What the hel- heck are you two watching?" They looked at him. "Bambiiiiiiiii…" He took a deep breath, trying furiously not to laugh. "And why are you crying?" Salvatore and Seline started to talk at the same time, but he was sort-of able to figure out what they were saying. "AhunterkilledBambi'smomandthentherewasafireanditwassad…" That did actually sound pretty sad, so he decided it was appropriate that they were crying. "Alright, fair enough. What did you all do today?" Seline jumped up, remembering the story they had to tell him. "We caught the phantom fish!" Karl laughed. "Yeah, right. You don't even know how to fish!" She crossed her arms and gave the INFAMOUS SELINE POUT. (Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!) "I do TOO know how to fish! Uncle Salvatore taught me how! And we did catch the phantom fish!" Salvatore grabbed the popcorn bowl. This is gonna be goooood. Karl crossed his arms. "Don't pout at me! Or so help me, I will POUT BACK!" He did, and it was strangely adorable! The two angrily pouted at each other for about 15 seconds, until they started laughing at each other. "I'm supposed to be mad, stop making me laugh!" Karl tried furiously to stop laughing. "Well, YOU stop being so damn adorable! It's not fair!" Salvatore interjected into whatever this conversation was becoming. "Language!" Karl glared at him, then continued. "It's hard to pout at someone who's pouting back! Especially when that person is doing it so darn cutely!" Seline sighed and frowned. "It wasn't supposed to be cute!" He just shrugged. "Well, it was. Wait, what were we even mad about in the first place?" Once again, Salvatore interjected. "You didn't believe her when she said we caught the phantom fish, even though we did!" Karl waved him away. "Yeah, I don't think you did." Salvatore would've continued to argue, but Seline stopped him. "It's okay, Uncle Salvatore. We know we caught it, and it doesn't matter if he believes it." That was fair enough, so he let the subject drop. "Oh, Uncle Karl, I got to try popcorn! And it exploded!" Karl gave a skeptical look at Salvatore, and he sighed. "Yes, that's true." Karl laughed. "Of course it is! Wow, you two did a lot today! Did you have fun?" Seline nodded happily. "Yup!" Salvatore smiled. "Well, you're welcome to come over any time you want. Who knows, maybe we'll even catch the phantom fish again!" With that, Seline and Karl left back for the castle. "Well, now all that's left is you visiting the factory!" Seline nodded, but she didn't say anything. It had been a very exciting day, and she was pretty tired. Honestly, the silence was kinda nice. It gave Karl an opportunity to think about what he should get Seline for her birthday! He wasn't very good with presents, and he wanted to get this right. Hmmm… Maybe I should ask Alcina what she would like? I just want this to be her best birthday ever.
