RubyDoobyDoo - Dangerous Garden — Description
Hello me.
Me, I mean mi amore. That means little person in french.
Hello little person.
Of course it does. Be quiet.
Your life is about to get, bumpy.
Bumpy like the rollercoaster ride at Disneyland, yes.
Just like the Matterhorn. Exactly like that.
Anyway, well yes, I do know that's your favorite ride.
It's mine, too.
We.. we could go together some time and ride it.
Now, listen. I'm not going to be discreet, or, well maybe I should.
No, I am not going to sugar coat this for you.
Me.
Whatever.
Listen, it's really not that bad.
The move that you are gonna make.
To Oregon, of course. Later in a few years.
What's this? A sap stone? I haven't seen one of these in years..
'course I haven't, I don't live here anymore.
I live in the state above this one. It's very far away.
Yes, still in America.
Still by the warm ocean.
It's okay. I have many friends, and teachers too.
Some are mean.
But not as mean as your teacher, I remember when I had her.
You will, I mean, I always hated her classes.
Not all of your teachers are mean.
Heh, or your reports. You just need some help.
Help with the reports, not your head.
Your head is just fine.
Mine on the other hand..
What?
Oh, no I'm sure. Something's been wrong with it for years now.
Maybe it started when I was eleven, twelve maybe.
Yeah, I know how old you are. Ten. For a couple of months now?
Oh.
Now, Primavera, listen real close.
Your gonna have to be strong soon.
No, not muscular. Strong with your head, and your heart.
Breathing more will not strengthen your heart, trust me.. Both you and I have found that out the hard way.
You need to keep people in our heart. Your heart, I mean. People who leave you, and people who you haven't met yet.
Who? Who.. well like Ashton.
She's a nice girl, come on now, you know her. Caden's little sister.
Yes, that red-headed girl.
Keep her smile with you.
And Chef, with his big nice dogs, remember how he counts from his pinkie to his thumb?
Him too.
Ashley, her deep make-up and funny lookin' smirk.
Tori with her bleach blonde hair and sea water blue eyes, and her amazing gymnastics skill.
Cailey and her imagination, her brother Jared with his programming skills.
Yes, I do know you're going to make a game together.
Heh, yes I do know he hasn't got any ideas to save a hair on his head.
And he can't run jack squat.
How his blonde hair always got mussed up, and his jeans were always a size too big at the waist and fell down past his barefeet.
Why he got held back in kindergarden-
Yes! It was because he couldn't read! That boy..
Their father, who would always let you inside and never say anything about how many boxes of oreos or goldfish that you and Cailey went through.
Their mother, who was run ragged because of those two kids.
Cailey didn't look one bit like her mother, doesn't, I mean.
She's got dark hair and olive skin-
A light tan, or maybe really tan.
You think so?
So, very pale with her squinted eyes. They did get real huge when we did get into real exciting adventures..
You got into.
I'm getting off track.
Primavera, stop getting me off track.
Where in Sam's Hill was I?
Okay.. Let me.. Let you think..
I wanted to help you here.
Here, where I thought I, you needed the most help.
Where all the problems began, where the troubles kindled.
But here, I overlooked everything.
And you will too.
Shh, let me explain, real quick and quiet to you.
No, I do not want to come to the park with you.
Or Andrea's house. Or Niki's.
For the last possible time, listen to yourself!
Wait, Primavera! Please!
You'll regret leaving me, yourself here!
Come back!
Don't, wait, what are you doing?!
No-!

"Hey, you okay?" Cailey, her olive eyes and and wispy hair nudged my shoulder as we looked up into the cloudless sky, our eyes tracing a silver metallic balloon that had floated away from a party no doubt. The balloon was slowly shrinking, as was any trace of Primevera's thought track.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Gil. Just thinking."
