The outside blessed your lungs once more with fresh air and exciting smells. Bela walked in between you and Cassandra as per Mother's instructions on making sure Cassandra was immediately next to a sister who could wrestle her down if need be. It's not that Mother thought you were weak, but she knew that Bela's fury would at least give her an upper edge when it comes to a fight with the strongest one of the bunch.

Your family melancholy descended down the long flight of stony steps to approach the carriage waiting for you. Mother had the door opened for her by the carriage driver and she stepped into it with a large swooping bend. She stared straight ahead waiting for you all to join her inside, but seemed to be in no necessary rush. Her face was calm despite being kicked out of the dinner meeting. But, somewhere inside, you could feel a tinge of pride for you defending her honor. Bela went a few paces ahead to lead the team inside the mobile cart.

"Waaaaaaiiiitttttt!" A small voice screamed out in the distance of the house, echoing.

The three of you stopped and turned your head to see the bridal doll hastily running through the massive open door. She leapt up expeditiously to get your attention, waving her stringing arms as fast as she could. Angie had split away from the chaos and far from Donna to run to meet you outside. She took small careful steps that felt like an eternity for her to reach the bottom where you all stood still.

"Cassandra!" She shouted while her tiny feet pitter-pattered on the pavement. "I have some advice that can help you! Wait!"

Cassandra sighed and shook her head while looking at Bela.

"Hold on. The small child wants to talk," She went to meet Angie at the bottom of the steps.

The doll swiftly collided into Cassandra, wrapping her arms around her right leg.

"Thank you for not leaving me," She whispered. "I can help you with what just happened."

The brunette laughed. "Of course. But how? My work was destroyed."

Angie hung her head low, looking at the ground. "I know. I'm sorry. But I know how to never have that happen again! I know a lot of stuff. Weird stuff. But good stuff!"

Cassandra turned her head to look at you with a smile. "You remind me of someone I know," She spoke as she turned back to look down at the doll.

"The Big Bad Heisy has these super weird magnetic powers. I'm not sure how he does it. Maybe it's the tentacle in his chest. But anyway! That's why your stuff got stripped away from you. I know a compound of good metals that will not only be sturdy, but Heisy won't be able to do that to you anymore. I know everyone's weaknesses." Angie chatted quickly.

Your sister tilted her head and raised her right hand to cup her chin. You could tell she definitely had her squinty eyes and a cocked eyebrow. "What metals are you thinking about?"

"Not think. Know!" Angie corrected her with a lifted hand. "A mixture of the metals called Titanium and Silver. Titanium is durable and very light weight, but it is easily bent because it's not very strong on it's own. You don't want to mix it with steel. That was your original downfall! Silver is just as strong, and as heavy. But the Titanium will protect it from all of those nasty chippings and from breaking! It's a good balance!" Angie hopped up and down, clapping her hands excitedly. "No magnetic time for Heisy!"

"Wow," Cassandra stated monotonously. "You know a lot for your... age?"

The doll giggled relentlessly, nearly falling over. "I'm much older than you! I was crafted a long time ago! You are too pretty to be like me. Don't be fooled by my voice and short vocabulary!"
