You have awesome ideas, Jack. I like the way you think.

Party pauses to hold the door open for Jack, then follows him in. He can smell the waffle cones and suddenly that seems like a super great idea.

How about this - if they're not okay, I'll keep you safe. I won't let anything bad happen to you, and you let me know if you see something I miss.

My tummy grumbles when we're inside. I haven't eaten anything since breakfast. Grandma said we could have lunch at the mall, but that was before I disappeared to Darrow.

I hope she's okay and not worrying too much about me.

I think we can keep each other safe. I can run real fast to get help, and I'm small and can fit small places. You're bigger and maybe have more Strong than me. But we can be a team.

It's a little scary to talk about this stuff. I used to think Old Nick was the only bad guy I would ever know. But I'm big now, and I know there are more bad guys in World. I want to stop them all.

Deal?

I hold my hand for a shake. (Leo taught me those.) My stomach rumbles a little, and I press down on it with my other hand, because this is important.

[beaburningstar]

Deal. We'll be a team. Maybe we should come up with a nickname for you, like me.

He takes Jack's hand and shakes it. He was a brave kid, Party admired that a lot.

Alright, let 's get us some ice cream. You order first so I know how to do it.

Party Poison says maybe I can think of a nickname for myself. I don't know what kind of nickname I would pick. I like Jack a lot. Sometimes people call me Jacky Jack, but I think a nickname probably works best if it's not too much like your real name.

Okay! We have to wait in line first...

I stand as tall as I can as I walk up to the lady behind the freezer.

Can I get a double scoop? One rocky road and one strawberry. In a chocolate-dipped waffle cone, please. Thank you. And my friend.

I reach my hand out for Party so that he can order his ice cream.

[beaburningstar]

Hey, can I get uh... a waffle cone with a scoop of mint chocolate chip and a scoop of birthday cake? Thanks.

Party grabs the cash out of his pocket to count it up. Oh yeah, he's solid for ice cream.

Want me to get both our treats? You're younger'n me, you should save your money.

[37hours]

I think about it, but only a little while before I shake my head.

I like your first idea. I like saving money, but it feels good to save money and then use it for a gift. If you buy my ice cream and I buy your ice cream, they're both gifts, and we'll both feel good.

I stand on tiptoe to get a better look at the price on the counter. I think the lady heard what we were saying, because the price is less than five dollars, and I think the last time I got ice cream for myself, it was about five dollars. I take out a five dollar bill from my wallet and push it gently to her.

[beaburningstar]

Alright, deal.

Party added his cash to the counter, and he made sure whatever change there was went to Jack.

We don't really use this kind of money where I'm from, it's better if you keep it.

Well it was true, anyway. Cash ddn't get much anymore unless someone felt like bartering for some shiny coins or had a thing for dead presidents.
