Day 1 without Mage:

Slowly Gale crept into his brother's room, sneaking up to their shared bed and clutched a fistful the blanket they cuddled to. In his mind he slowly counted down.

3.2.1.

He yanked the blanket off and began tickling them, pretending to roar and be a monster.

"Rawr! I'm going to eat you!" he said in his 'monster impersonation' voice before bending over and swooping them into his arms, throwing them over his broad shoulders as if they weighed nothing and strutted into the living room. They laughed as he threw them onto the couch.

"Oh you two are so silly," He says before looking up at his mom as she entered, gently dragging along a sleepy Posy.

"Aw you still sleepy? Come here," Gale says in a soft voice before picking her up and walking over to the couch, sitting down and cradling her on his lap.

"Okay, who's ready to dance?"

The next thirty minutes were filled with Gale swirling around the room, dipping his mother, spinning her. He was a natural.

His mother smiled. "Just like your father,"

Gale smiled back, knowing it was hard for her to say that. She patted him lightly on the cheek, "Now go help your sister," She said in a calm voice before gracefully making her way to the kitchen. Gale turned on his heels and swopped up his sister in his arms.

"How's dancing?" he asks.

"It's kinda hard," She responded tiredly, rubbing her itchy eyes. Gale only laughed and placed her down, making her step on his feet.

"Here let me help you. Hold on, okay?" He smiled as he grabbed her hands and began dancing around the room with her. She giggled as he spun around to fast and tricked her into thinking he would make her fall.

"Who wants breakfast?" Their mother's voice rang out. They all ran over to the counter, gently shoving each other.

"I do!" They all said excitedly.

"Please set up the table and then we can eat silly!" She laughed, flipping the eggs over in the rusted pan. They all ran to the cupboards and grabbed certain things, rushing back over to the table to set up. Posy weaved around them over into the living room, digging through a wooden chest before pulling out the plaid red and white table cloth. She then waddled over happily and spread it out over the table. Vick grabbed the cups and placed 5 on the table, spacing them out and putting them were his family members usually sat every morning. Gale grabbed the plates and placed them around the table next to the cups, Rory quickly following behind him and placing down the silverware.

They finished just in time as their mother walked over with the food and drinks. Their mouths were open and drooling as she scrapped some eggs on their plate and then plopping down two sausage and a strip of bacon. Their eyes grew big at all the food (never having this much to eat in a whole meal) and they dug into their food.

Gale only laughed, enjoying the sight of his family, there happy smiles on their faces because of the food.

All of this was because of Madge.
