Part Eight: Phase Two, Part Five
Part Four, Phase two, was the most crucial and complicated part of everything. After Shipping the redhead to a off-world two-week vacation resort an army of beings and enough wood to make a forest the size of Texas and tools to fill Lake Michigan descended on La Soladad desert. With speed and coordination to shame the US Military and skill to rival the people who work the projects of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition they framed and put up a very comfortably large house and put down a very lush lawn of green grass and beds of rainbows of flowers and herbs. Large oaks lined the sprawling front driveway, which was paved by large, evenly gray cobblestones. The driveway led to both the garage, big enough for three mini-vans or one small eighteen wheeler, and the front door, adjustable in both size and width. That led into an entrance foyer which then branched out into two different hallways, each connecting with countless rooms. One hall had rooms for general use, familial use; the second was for guests.
The master suite was, in essence, a mini-apartment. It had its' own entertaining area, small kitchen, full bathroom, and bedroom with a walk-in closet. Each other room was just a bedroom with a bathroom and a small closet.
There was a library and study connected to the suite via a small hidden door, filled to the brim with copies of rare magical tomes and normal human books he knew she loved and/or wanted; they were perched on redwood shelves and some were lying open on podiums. On the oaken desk sat an empty tome; he knew she wanted to start her own Book of Shadows. Also on the desk was a flat-screen desk computer that connected to both the intergalactic and human internet and all Plumber databases. She also had projector that could throw whatever she was doing on her computer up onto a screen hanging on the wall.
The basement was just an armory, medical lab, and panic room, which was elevator only accessible though there were hidden staircase emergency entrances and exits about the house. Then there was the Plumber level gym.
And then you have the household normal rooms, only on a larger scale.
The furniture was of various woods, upholstered in purples (the bed set in the master bedroom was deep royal purple), and the carpeting was of a non-clashing deep red lush make.
"Ever think you're going overboard with this?" Cooper asked as he and Kevin went over the floor plans.
"Nope."
"Okie dokie."
"Think she'll like it?"
"May be too over the top for her tastes but I think she'll like it."
"She has to."
Cooper smiled understandingly, nodding.
A day before Gwen was due to return Cooper proudly handed his friend the keys to the finished estate.
Phase two was finally complete.
