We don't own them. We only take them out for a little fresh air now and then.
We're not making any money on this, we're just having fun.

     LaCroix looked at the girls fighting each other to get his attention. At
the beginning it was amusing. However now it was becoming a trifle boring. He
sighed. Looking around the Great Hall, he spied his son Nicholas, who was 
also looking slightly bored. He opened his link to Nicholas. Ahhhh not bored 
exactly but all this talk and innuendos was making him uncomfortable. LaCroix
sent a query to his son. And received a relieved response.

     "If you ladies will excuse me?" He walked past them and over to his son. 
     "Nicholas?" 
     "Yes LaCroix?" 
     "Would you care to join me?"
 
     "It would be my pleasure. If you ladies will excuse me." Nicholas 
followed his sire upstairs to the bedrooms, an entourage of females from the 
castle following in their wake.
 
     "Hey wait a minute! Where are you going!?"Came the various cries from 
their audience. LaCroix turned, his hand at Nicholas’ back.

     "When you have made up your minds you may come find us. Until then...." 
He turned back around and opened one of the rooms, leading his son inside and
closing the door behind him. 
  
     The residents look at the door in stunned silence as they tried to 
figure out what had happened.‘Nay gasped,finally realizing what was going on. 
The others looked at her.
 
      "Don’t you realize who is WRITING this story?!" 

      "So?"

      "I know she’s been threatening but I never thought..."Just then they
began to hear sounds from the room in front of them. Muffled at first, then 
slowly becoming louder.
 
     ‘Nay grabbed the doorknob....Locked. She fumbled through her pockets and
came up with the castle keys, mumbling under her breath...Gotta stop this... 
Gotta stop this...Gotta stop this...Before...

     A hand closed around hers, taking the keys from her. Vachon quickly 
found the correct one, and opening the door, he entered, closing and locking 
the door behind him. 
      
     "What’s going on?" asked the others. 
     "Yeah we had just come up with a time-share agreement when Vachon just 
up and leaves."
 
     They all look at ‘Nay, several turning white as they realize what she 
meant earlier.
 
     "WE’VE GOT TO GET IN THERE!" they shouted. 
     "Why?" asked the newcomers. 
     "BECAUSE STEPH IS WRITING THIS!" 
     "So?" 
     "STEPH IS OUR RESIDENT UFer!!!!!!!"
 
     They all looked at the door in horror. The noises on the other side of 
the door were beginning to build. Several of the castles residents started 
to turn red as they realized what those sounds were. Screams of "YES!" and
"MASTER" began echoing throughout the castle. 
  
     "’Nay DO SOMETHING!!!!" Everyone screamed at her. 
     "VACHON TOOK THE KEYS!!!!"
     "SO. KICK THE DOOR DOWN LIKE YOU DID BEFORE!"
 
     ‘Nay stepped back several paces, the crowd making room for her. Just 
then they all heard the animalist yells coming from the other side. They were
too late. 
  
     "Oh I think I’m going to be sick." 
     "Think I’ll go to my room."
     "Why didn’t Abra STOP this? A little cold water and...." 
  
     Everyone turned and glowered at the ‘Nay.
 
     "This is all your fault!" They shouted at her.
     "You should have stopped it!" 
     "Now wait a minute!" She replied. "I don’t stop any of you from writing.
I just get even...hint...hint...hint..." 
  
     They all looked at her, slowly smiling. 
     "Think I’ll head up to my room and write something." The others nodded.
     "Yeah, think I’ll join you."
     "Lets get her!" 
  
Fini for now. 
  
Any care to try their best shot?
