The Whims and Machinations of Babes
Zoey had a plan. It was a good plan. No. It was a great plan. No. It wasn't just a plan. It was THE Plan. The plan of all plans. She just had to find a way to get it done.

The idea came when she saw her...Mom called them housemates...but they were really her friends.... Very tall and very strong friends. She was the only girl in her class who had a friend who could lift a boulder and throw it very far. Zoey had watched Svalin and Halbjorn do it. It was awesome!

She couldn't wait to go back to school to tell her classmates about her newest friends. None of them had friends like she did. Maybe Asleif would go to school with her one day and show Zoey's classmates real magic. Not the stupid kind that Jessica had at her birthday party. Zoey had totally seen the man hiding things in his hands and sleeves. The man was lame compared to Asleif.

The fireworks on the Fourth of July were just awesome. Totally awesome. She was glad she had the idea to ask Asleif to make fireworks.

Idea. The idea for today and for The Plan came to her while she watched Svalin practicing with a sword. A REAL sword and not some lame fake one. Svalin had one, so did Aridis and Halbjorn. Asleif didn't seem to like them for some reason. Zoey thought they were really cool and Mom had said she was not allowed to touch them. Ever. She wondered what Mom had against swords. Svalin said that she had a sword when she was Zoey's age. She wanted one too.

Right. The idea. Mom had taken her out to dinner to a place with swords and horses once. Middle Times or something like that. Zoey knew it would be a great place to take her new friends. They would love it. They had to.

She ran and asked Mom if they could go. Mom said yes, but Zoey had to ask the others if they wanted to go. Mom went on about how she couldn't talk or speak for others. Zoey only heard the first part of it.

She skipped around the grounds looking for Asleif or any of the others.

Once she was done ~~bothering~~ talking to Ohu, Zoey continued her quest to find her other friends. Everyone had to go to dinner. It wouldn't be as much fun if someone stayed home.

She skipped up to the top of the stairs that led down to the beach. Asleif wasn't anywhere in the house, her cabin or elsewhere on the ground. Zoey figured that maybe she went down to the beach to make more sandcastles.

As soon as she spotted the figure on the beach she charged headfirst down the stairs and ran up to Asleif.

"Asleif! Come out to dinner with us. You have to!"

	Zoey's shrill, child-like voice shattered Asleif's concentration, her painstaking work into crafting a new crystal ball scattering on the beach like the sand it was. A snarl of anger contorted her face, before she turned and saw that it was Zoey. It quickly faded to be replaced by one of puzzlement. "And whom doth "us" entail, little mortal?"

	"Us! Mom, me, Ohu and I'm asking the others. Mom said I had to and couldn't just tell them we're going. But it'll be fun! There's horses! Knights! Princesses! And we can call them 'foolish mortals'." She said the last bit in perfect imitation of how Asleif said it. Zoey was one of them after all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif held a fixed stare on the girl, despite a small smile pulling at the corners of her lips at her imitation of Asleif's manner of speech. She might--and probably should--refuse. But an opportunity to mock the mortals on this kind of scale was too delicious an offer to pass up. "Very well, small mortal. I shalt accompany thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"YAY!" she squealed and hugged Asleif. Tightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She art touching me. Why art she touching me? Asleif thought, her limbs flailing a bit, until she settled from some sort of shoulder pat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That was two who said yes. She only had to convince five more people. She released Asleif and smiled brightly. "We will have fun." She nodded. Everyone had fun there. (Reply to this)(Parent)
