[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Bracing herself, she left the room.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Chris' father stumbled back a few steps when he saw his son. "Christopher?" he whispered, aghast.
"Hi Dad," the other replied, attempting to seem cheerful.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Addie rocked back on her heels in the background.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What? Wha-- how is this possible?"
"Uh, magic?" Chris offered, then immediatley regretted what he had said.
"Magic?" his father growled, his brows furrowing.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Ah, no," Addie said, stepping up. "Not exactly. We don't know how it happened."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Is that what you told him?" he thundered, looking at her.
"Hey, hold on," Chris said in an attempt to pacify him, "She had nothing to do with it."
"And I suppose she made you believe that too, huh?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I haven't done anything except try to help him remember who he is."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

He was about to say something when Chris cut him off.
"Look, Dad, nobody asked you to come here."
"I came here for your sake! Who knows what she would have done with your body? Might have burned it, for all we know," he growled, "She doesn't know the first thing about the proper treatment of a body."
"Get out of here," Chris said in a low voice.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Would it put you at ease to know I don't do magic anymore?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"No it wouldn't. I told you to marry that other girl, Christopher," he said, turning back to his son.
"Look, I'm not dealing with this right now."
"Then when will you deal with it? You're leading yourself into trouble."
"I know what I'm doing, Dad. It's not up to you to make my decisions for me. And I sure as hell don't appreciate your criticisms, so do us all a favor and leave."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Might I thank you, by the way, for insulting me in my own house? Somehow I think your religious morale goes against that, but I could be wrong."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

His father gritted his teeth, then turned around and went for the door. "You'll heed my words, Christopher, or worse yet is to come for you," he said and left.
"He's insane," Chris muttered when he was gone.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Did he just curse you?" she asked, shivering a little. "There's power in words, especially in this house."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"He has no power whatsoever," Chris murmured and looked at her.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I know," she said quietly. "I can't help but worry. Are you okay?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I feel fine," he said, still a little tense.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She went over to him and gave him a light kiss. "I hardly believe you."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Well, that's too bad," he murmured, putting his arms around her.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She hugged him tightly. "It'll be okay," she whispered, trying to convince herself.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I know,"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I really hope so."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

He kissed her cheek. "Let's not think about it, okay?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She sighed. "Okay," she replied, yawning a little.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Tired?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"A little," she admitted.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"You should sleep, then."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Aren't you tired?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Haven't decided yet."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She nodded a little and went to her room to change into sleeping clothes.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I make a great pillow, by the way," he called to her.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Addie laughed and opened the door so they could have a conversation. "I remember."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"That's good," he said, leaning against the wall beside the door.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She nodded to herself and then stuck her head out, pajama pants half on. "Hey, where are you planning to sleep?" She wasn't sure if he was being implicative or not.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Wherever you let me?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She shrugged and pulled the rest of her clothes on. "Take your pick."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I think you know my choice."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Addie laughed and stuck her tongue out at him. "I think I might."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"You might?" he asked with eyebrows raised, opening the door and standing in the doorway.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She pulled him inside by the collar of his shirt, kissed him quickly, and then pulled away to sit rather innocently on the edge of the bed.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Mhmm, I see," he murmured with a smirk, shutting the door behind him.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Yep. That just happened."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I think so. Should I do something about it?" he asked and went to stand in front of her.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Mmmm, if you want," she murmured, leaning against the pillows. For a few moments, she pretended to be asleep.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

He rolled his eyes and laughed quietly, then went to lay down next to her.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Almost right away she turned onto her side and smiled at him. "Hi."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Hello," he replied.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"How's your head?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What about it?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She tapped his temple twice. "That."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Is there supposed to be something wrong with it?"
