NOT SO LONG LATER...

Daisy arrives into the car park not so far away from the play care facility where Toby had his party. She catches sight of a lingering tall figure in the distance sitting down on a small wooden bench. "Woah. She's there already. She's very keen." Daisy thought as she searches for a parking spot convenient. Though the car park was empty. Well. Not empty per se. There was a couple of cars parked here too. One of them likely Ella's. 

Ella then notices Daisy and Toby in the car. She quickly gets up off the bench and waves them over to the space facing her. Daisy smiles and briefly waves back at her as a friendly gesture and proceeds to head in the direction of where Ella's standing. She slowly pulls in between the white lines as she gently pulls in to a stop directly in front of Ella. 

Ella smiled as she walks over to the driver side and opens the door the moment Daisy unlocks the car. She bends down on her knees and instigates with a conversation: "Lovely day it is out there," she said. "Isn't it wonderful?" Daisy added, smiling with happiness as she went through her stuff. "Do you want me to get the small man out? I'll unbuckle his seatbelt for him." Ella suggested. "Really?  Aw, thank you. I'm just reorganising my things. Yeah, go get him out." Daisy said. Ella smiled with joy and proceeds over to Toby's passenger door. "Hey there, young man! Your auntie's going through her things. I'm gonna get you out. Hang on, let me just unbuckle your seatbelt." Ella said as she reaches over Toby's body and proceeds to unbuckle his belt. The belt makes a soft clicking noises as it unattaches from the component where it clicks in. 

Ella took him by the arm and then, she slowly lifts him up from the seat. She slowly retracts back out of the car with him on her shoulder, gently not to thump his head on the rooftop where the top part of the passenger door aligns. She gently puts him down onto the wooden bench she herself was sitting on. Daisy collected her things and soon emerges from the car. She then shuts the door and locks the car. 

*Toby sniffing something in the air* "What is that smell?" he asked. "Oh. That is my perfume. Want a spray?" Ella asked as she pulled it out which was hanging around her neck. What was strange was the perfume was in the shape of the weird giant purple cat from the play care, obviously at reduced scale, but still. 

She activates the perfume and brief strange red particles came bursting out of the windpipe, alongside it, the sense and smell of poppies that surrounds it. "Oooooooh! Oh wow! I love that smell!" Toby exclaimed. "I know. I love it too! It helps me smile!" Ella exclaimed with excitement. "Erm.... shouldn't you not keep that away from smaller kids?" Daisy asks with concern. 

"Oh, of course I do, silly! This is kid friendly! It does them no harm one bit. It helps me sleep at night, and it gives kids their wildest dreams. Trust me!" Ella replied. "Oh. Erm. Ok. Sure." Daisy thought. "Ah!" Toby shrieked as he trips over his shoelace. "Oh my gosh, I forgot to tie your shoes." Daisy said. "It's fine, I can do them!" Ella exclaimed. "Really? If it's not too much trouble." Daisy added. "Course it's not!" Ella replied. "Well. Thanks. Again. Listen. I'm going to give my partner a ring to tell him what I'm up to is that ok?" Daisy asked. "Sure!" Ella replied. "Go ahead. Take your time." she added. 

Daisy smiled and walks on a bit further away to phone Luke. "I think your auntie's being a little... silly, billy don't ya think?" Ella muttered under her breath as she starts tieing Toby's shoes.
