Kal and Sherk had finished
telling the alphaHerks where to place the tables. Kal stood with her hands on her hips,
tapping her foot. "I never get up early...NEVER... but for her I did a favor...so you
think SHE'D be here on time.... BUT NOOOO, she's not, and why am I not surprised coz she's
not even home so that means she spent the night at Sov's and WHO knows WHEN she will get
here!" Sherk looked at his love a little bewildered.
"I should call Sov...that's what I SHOULD do, call them and wake them up and TELL her
JUST what I think of her being LATE!"
Sherk scratches his head and makes a funny face at Kallista.
Kal whips out her cell phone just as Freya zips up in her Cruiser. She gets out waving and
shouting "Good Morning!! I've got hot coffee, hot chocolate, cappuccino, warm bagels
and donuts"!
Kal mutters "I hate morning people" as she waves back.
Sherk bounces up to Freya. "Can I have a donut...what kind did you get? I hope
jelly...can I have jelly...please...I'll be careful and not squirt the jelly out all over
the place! And hot chocolate...I want the hot chocolate...did ya get it with whipped cream
coz you know I love whipped cream!"
Kal covers her ears with her hands.
Freya hands the packages to Sherk and walks over to Kal. "Hi sis... sorry I'm late,
but Sov tried to break the alarm clock... see I have it here... I'm sure someone will buy
it at the amazon tag sale don't you?"
Kal looked at the alarm clock, now completely covered in duct tape and nodded her head.
"Here's a sticker to put on it... wadda think? Five dinars for it??"
~*~*~*~
Kal and Freya were busy directing
the alphas loaded with boxes. "We should put CJs table in the shade....we don't want
all her chocolate melting." Kal stated as Freya checked off her list on her trusty
clipboard.
"Oh...and Dessy gets the shade too....don't want her homemade candles to melt
either." Check.
"We need another table for Kat's scrolls....you know how many she has." Check.
"Let's move Danaan's handcuff table away from the kiddie section. Check."
Soon all the tables were set up and amazons and alphas milled around excitedly talking and
comparing wares. Kal went off to check on Sherk's table. Lots of bows in many different
colors and patterns adorned the table, but Kal didn't see Sherk anywhere. She started to
call out to Hercgirl who was busy checking out little itty bitty sweaters and booties on
another table when she heard a sniffle coming from beneath the bow table. "SHerk? Are
you under there honey?" Kal got down on her knees to look under the table.
"No one's here" Sherk whispered.
Kal grinned and crawled under the table with SHerk. "Are you playing a new game
sweetie?" she asked as she playfully pinched his cheek. "We really don't have
time right now, the tag sale is about to begin...but I'd love to play with you
later."
SHerk looked at Kal, his lower lip quivering.
"What's wrong SHerk? What's the matter? Did Sov show up and trip you again? Or
Discord....is that Elvira wannabe bothering you??"
SHerk shook his head no.
"Come on out then, coz I'm getting an awful crick in my neck." Kal started
pulling Sherk out but he refused to budge.
"Sherk, honey... we can't stay under here all day. Folks have to be able to see us in
case they want to buy some of your bows."
SHerk's lower lip quivered some more.
"Come on...someone is at our table...I see their feet." Kal said, then thought
quietly to herself "eewww, what ugly shoes, wonder who it is??"
SHerk's eyes filled with tears.
Resigned, Kal sat down indian style and took Sherk's hands in hers. "Okay big fella,
spill it...why so sad?"
Sherk sputtered "M-m-my bows."
"Yes, your bows are on the table ready to be sold, Sherk.....oh....<light bulb
goes off over Kal's head>...you don't want to sell your bows? Is that it??"
Sherk nods his head up and down.
"Awwww honey....why didn't you say so??
SHerk just shrugged.
Kal thought quickly. "How about we rent them? Yeah, thats it...we'll rent them to
amazons."
*************
Danaan smacked
WetNWild's hand once again, then bent and took the pair of handcuffs he just dropped in
her bag back out and put them on her table.
"Awwww Danaan, not those....those are my favorites!" WnW whined.
"You say that about all of them stud" Danaan winked as she rearranged her wares.
WnW picked up another set and held them before Danaan's eyes. "Remember these
sweetie....remember that night....the chandelier you stole from Freya??" WnW leered
at Danaan.
"I did NOT steal that from Freya" Danaan yelled as she tried to swipe the
handcuffs out of WnW's hand. "MissManners threw it out! I'm just...just safe guarding
it...yeah! Thats it!"
WnW laughed and held the handcuffs just out of Danaana's reach. "How could you sell
off all these memories?" he asked.
Danaan stood, arms folded across her ta tas and tried staring WnW down. He met her stare
with his own steely blue one.
"Oh okay...you win" she said. "Lemme show ya something". She bent down
and took a catalog out of her bag. "Look what I ordered...if I don't get rid of some
of these, I won't have room for the new ones."
WnW glanced at the catalog in Danaan's hands, then grabbed it, a wicked gleam lighting his
eyes. "Wow, did you see these??" he asked. Titanium dual action locks. Kewl.
Oh...and these...I'd love to see you try to get out of these!" he exclaimed as he sat
down and pulled Danaan down on his lap.
