Chapter 53: Sleepover with Savanaclaw!
----------------------
Once Grim and I are back in the dorms, we begin to prepare the lounge for our guests. I call out to the ghosts to come help us: "Fatty, Skinny, Shorty! We need your help in the lounge, please!"
"Are you hosting another Ramshackle sleepover?" asks Skinny Ghost.
Suddenly, a thought comes to me: "I've been thinking... Grim and I have been calling you Fatty, Skinny, and Shorty Ghosts. But do you have names, by any chance?"
The ghosts look rather confused at my question. Finally, Fatty Ghost speaks up: "Names? We don't remember having names anymore. It's been so long... Ever since we lived here, we've been called Fatty, Shorty, and Skinny... obviously based on how we look like."
"Hey, how about you two come up with names for the three of us?" suggests Shorty Ghost.
Grim's eyes light up: "I will do it!" Looking as pensive as Grim can be, he taps his 2nd toe lightly on his chin, striking a thinking pose.
"Okay, I got it. Fatty Ghost, you are Fineas. Skinny Ghost, you are Gilbert. And Shorty Ghost, you are Rolly.*" As Grim doles out their names, he points at each one of them.
"So what do ya think?" inquires Grim.
"Hmmm. F-Fine-eas... Nice!" Fatty Ghost tries out his name and approves, flashing Grim a thumbs up.
"G-Gilbert! Why not?" Skinny Ghost is also content with the name.
"Rolly, I like it! Woah~ it's nice to finally have a name again!" Rolly chuckles. He is the most enthusiastic about having an actual name!
"I don't mean to be a name party pooper. But we really have to get started. Gilbert and Fineas, why don't you dust the lounge ceilings? Rolly, come help Grim and me air out the place. Sound good?" I begin organising everyone. There is so much work to be done to get this place party-ready!
A chorus of "yes" rings out!
----------------------
With the lounge mostly dust-free and freshly aired, we just have to wait for Ace and Deuce to finish the rest of the preparations with their magic. This gives Grim and me time to catch an early lunch in the cafeteria. Grim picks a smoked salmon bagel and a slice of mixed fruit tart, while I opt for a club sandwich with a side of potato wedges.
As I wait for the boys to arrive at the Ramshackle dorm, I finish sewing three new mini-dolls of Riddle, Trey, and Cater. I plan to give them as birthday gifts. As Grim continues to linger in a lunch coma, I begin the preparations to make mini-dolls of Jack, Ruggie, Leona, and Cheka. However, I am interrupted by a knock at the front door.
Yay! The sun is setting, the guests are here! The knock also rouses Grim from his coma.
"Hold on! I'm on my way!" I call out excitedly. Grim jostles past me to get to the door.
"Heya, Lilith and Grim. Are we late?" greets Ace, still wearing his red backpack from school.
"Nope, just in time..." I reply as I usher them in.
"By the way, Lilith, Dorm Leader Rosehearts asked me to pass you a message, He will come with the others once he feels sure that no rulebreakers will disrupt Heartslabyul in his absence. Yeah, he is not used to sleepovers," explains Deuce.
"Yeah, no problem. One step at a time. I know it's not easy for him to let go," I reply.
"In my case, I can hardly wait for the party to get started. I even brought my playing cards for games~" chimes in Ace.
