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.

He was driving down Ventura in his custom Aston-Martin when the phone calls came...
_______________________________________________

"Yeah...Simon...this is Julie. I know you haven't seen me..."

Hang on, Julie next caller.

"But nothing! Get your ass -"

Click.

"Down! Get down! Simon! Help!"
___________________________________________

It takes him a moment to find out where people are calling from. Medieval Times. It's a family-tourist trap, but it pays so many up-and-comers rent. Many of those people are calling him for something he hasn't been fully on call for in years: hero work.

He just pick up the car and flies off with it only to find some crazy lady with a sword causing the crowd to go nuts.

He lands and strikes a pose. If God listens to actors, the crowd will think whatever crazy stuff is happening is part of the show.

	Oh thank goodness. Simon was here, or she assumed by the entrance. Now maybe this chaos would stop. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ohu sees Simon land with his jaw dropping open. "Holy crap... it's Mr. Muscles!!" Ohu points, and as he does so, Simon's clothes change to match an old costume he once wore... the costume he wore as a sidekick on a children's television show. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His Ralph Lauren is suddenly replaced with...that...so now there's a caveman throwing down with Vikings while knights run for the hills. He should be pissed right now, but the thought is Man, this is some casting director's dream right now. Besides, there are kids watching. "And Mr. Muscles says 'Stand Down!' Now!"

	"Who's that?" Zoey asked Asleif and Ohu. The new person in the arena looked familar, but Zoey couldn't remember where she saw him before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He strides - yes, strides. Image counts. - over to the Viking types and puts his hand on the railing. Before talking he waves cheerfully at the small child. "So," he says looking over the top of his trademark shades to the more adult looking ones. "Mind telling me what's going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh, huh. You're scaring the mortals and scared mortals do stupid things. Knock it off. Now." As soon as he shells out the money to fix the place and convinces management to drop the charges he'll sort this out. Teenagers. Thor, you so owe me one for this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They were just trying to make it more interesting for Zoey, Mr. Williams," Syd said. This was probably the closest she had ever been to a movie star, albeit a B lister but still a movie star. "Things sort of got out of hand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He smiles at mom and then leans down to the kid's level. "No one's in trouble, Zoey." Except for my wallet, dignity, and possibly that date I was supposed to have with the Green Lady on Friday. "But it is time to go home with you and your friends and mom, alright?"

The horses are getting wrangled. People are staring to settle and he can hear the manager screaming and the police sirens in the distance.

He looks back to the Mom. "LAPD and I still get along. I'll make sure to get back to you with anything they have to say on this one."

	Marlow appeared from her place out of the way and kept quiet. It wasn't her magic that caused the problem and she saw no reason to draw attention to herself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Aridis too was standing down. She was a bit ashamed that she had scared the mortals. She had not meant to get so wild but when the thrill of a fight over tok her it was hard to stop. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zoey looked at Simon. It really was Simon Williams! She loved Simon Williams. Mom didn't, but Zoey did. Zoey nodded. "Okay. I really like you're movies. Mom said I shouldn't waste my time watching bad movies and I should read instead." Why did Mom suddenly put her hands over her face after turning bright red? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A simple spell called the rabbit that had been the dragon to Asleif. She had... ideas for the creature, to say the least. "Well," she says, "it appears our evening out has come to an end." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Griffen knows what he's doing tonight. Writing a few things up and maybe returning to the lab. This was a bit much for him but he can at least act calm. But he might be doing equations on a paper napkin he got a hold of. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pop_trash_hero 2009-07-24 04:10 am UTC (link)
	He shakes his head. "Your mom is right. The books are better, but some kids -" He looks at Mom (who is devastatingly his type, sadly). "Won't look at the book until there's a movie." "Now, if you'll excuse me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm so sorry, Mr. Williams," Syd said completely embarrassed by her daughter. "I'll make sure they get back to the estate. Do I need to call Mr. Stark?" Then it struck her. She hadn't even introduced herself. "I'm sorry. My name's Sydney Ashcroft." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He thinks about it. "I'll...come to the old estate and call him with you, Sydney." Tony already knows. He always does. He's an annoying prick like that. The cute lady has been though enough and no one should have to deal with him past midnight. He waves as he leave. "Nice to meet a few fans." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madscienceman 2009-07-24 09:41 am UTC (link)
	And for the record Griffen , if he was jealous~~which he isn't capable of yet~~, wouldn't be aware of it right now. He's running numbers in his head for a new idea he has. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2009-07-24 04:29 pm UTC (link)
	As Mr. Muscles leaves, Ohu lets the illusion of his costume drop. "Wow. I met Mr. Muscles." He ponders, then turns to Syd. "Does Luke Skywalker live around here too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
