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.

	Ohu spots the little girl skipping the grounds, and approaches her with a smile. "I recognize that twinkle in your eye, little one," he says by way of greeting. "You have an idea, don't you?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Ohu!" she squealed and launched herself at him. "I do! Would you like to go out to dinner tonight? I'm asking everyone if they want to go. Mom said I had to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That sounds like a fabulous adventure!" Ohu replies. "I would love to accompany you on this adventure!" He kisses the tips of two of his fingers and pressing them against her forehead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"YAY!" she squealed and wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "There's knights! Horses! Princesses! And...wen...wen...some other ladies I can't remember. It's a lot of fun. And they fight while you eat dinner!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif could be found outside, sitting crosslegged on the beach, under a rather large beach umbrella. Her hands darted to and fro, weaving a spell as she collected sand, a grain at a time, slowly shaping it into a sphere before her. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	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)

	"Griffen!" Zoey yelled when she spotted him. She ran up to him and laughed as the dogs bumped against her for attention. Zoey loved it here. Svalin had a horse, Aridis had a dog and Griffen had two dogs. Mom had always said no to pets and now she had more than any of the other kids in her class.

	He blinked up at her curiously. Then he wondered if Zoey had another plan in mind. "Is everyone going to be going? Because if they are...I should go. I'm supposed to help your mother with that sort of thing after all," Griffen says in a careful but nice tone. He would much rather get along with Zoey since she was a good kid.

	"I'm asking everyone. So far Ohu and Asleif have said yes. I still have to find the others," she said with a giggle as the beagle licked her face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zoey found Marlow hanging upside down from a tree branch. She looked up. "Hi!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2009-07-11 10:13 am UTC (link)
	Marlow looked down. Her hair hung around her face as she contemplated young Zoey. "Hi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-07-11 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	"We're going to dinner. Would you like to come with us? Everyone is going." Well not everyone yet, but it was close enough for Zoey. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Aridis would be easy to find. She was trying out what Griffen had tol her were goldfish crackers. They didn't taste like fish. More like cheddar. The Asguardian was frankly bored. She wanted action! She desired adventure. Alas there were no places to go hunting near by. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-07-12 07:17 am UTC (link)
	Zoey skipped up to Aridis. "Aridis! We're going out to dinner tonight! Want to come?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2009-07-12 07:23 am UTC (link)
	Oh that was an easy choice. "Aye! Shall I dress like a mortal Zoey?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Somehow they managed to get to Medieval Times in one piece without any major incidents. Thankfully there was a van on the grounds that they could use. It made getting places with all of them relatively easy. Once inside they grabbed their seats. Sydney noticed that Zoey hadn't once left Asleif's side. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Marlow found a seat along the tiered rows and sat down. She wasn't too sure about this. From Zoey's chatter on the ride, there would be horses and jousting. It seemed pretty weird to her, but history was not part of her studies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin sat next to Marlow. Svalin had come to know the woman a little better since they were roommates. When Zoey had asked for her to come to dinner Svalin had been hesitant to accept, but then the child mentioned fighting and Svalin had to see this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

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

	ohu_amane 2009-07-22 02:24 am UTC (link)
	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)
