House of Status

Nina"So everyone's hearing is back to normal this morning?"

Amber"Speak up, Nina, stop mumbling."

Nina"That answers that question."

Alfie has hold of two action figures and is zooming with them all around the room.

Alfie" Hey, Fabian, do you want to play before breakfast?"

I take the dolls from Alfie, who leans against the wall sad.

Nina"Alfie, you are not nine years old, guys can we please focus"

Alfie is now on the floor with his arms folded, Patricia who still can't speak is holding a mirror for Amber and Fabian, well Fabian looks even more lost than ever. So on top of worrying about that, I am also worrying about this twin brother I may or may not have.

Fabian"Focus on what?"

Nina "The task, Fabian."

Fabian"Right, I'm sorry. The memory's getting worse."

Nina "I think it's pretty clear everyone is getting worse, Okay, guys, we need to find a way to finish this task and lift the curse. It's got to be about knowing the melody...if Sarah was here, she would know."

Fabian"Who's Sarah?"

Nina"Sarah, Fabian. Dollhouse Sarah,"

I then notice that the dollhouse has finally lit up again, unless it's lit up and we missed it, that has happened before.

Nina "Oh, thank you, Sarah!"

I run to the dollhouse and open it up, the glowing object in question is a tiny music stand.

Fabian" It's a music stand"

Amber" Yes Fabian, we can see that, here use these"

Amber hands Fabian the tweezers. He picks up the music sheet.

Nina"The Song of Hathor, That's got to be it. That's got to be the name of the tune we need to play."

Charlie's POV

Me and my brother were sat our usual desk, we were all waiting for Miss Valentine to arrive for our first lesson, apart from the get to know you lesson, this is our first one since Mrs Andrews left. Eddie and me are busy doodling on the same piece of paper while waiting. We both look up when the Scooby doo gang rush in. Fabian assures them he had a good excuse but he can't remember it.

Jasper" We are all very proud of him"

Eddie and me as usual are only half listening to what is being said in class and continue to doodle on our piece of paper. While everyone has the eyes on the Scooby doo gang I ask Eddie if he has thought anymore about the lunch or dinner with our dad.

Eddie" I did think about it and yeah I'm going to come with you"

Charlie" Good, to be honest I wasn't going to go without you"

Nina"How are we supposed to play a song that no one has ever even heard?"

Amber"She didn't say when it was lost to history,"

Fabian "What do you mean?"

Amber"Well, it obviously wasn't lost in Frobisher-Smythe's time, because he couldn't have used it to set the task."

Nina "When did you get so wise, Amber?"

Amber"I think it's an age thing. Yuck."

Eddie's POV

Me and my sister were sat on my bed listening to music from my laptop but are mainly chatting about the conversation we had with our father and the chat I had, had with him after Jerome placed the gem back in the Frobisher Shield.

We were just about to put another song on when someone knocked at the door.

Charlie"I bet it's Patricia"
