     "Hello? Are you there?" nine year old, Connor Belle whispered peeking underneath his bed with a flashlight in his hand. The little boy searched frantically under his bed, he couldn't leave yet, not without them.

   "Of course we're here," a deep voice said from behind him,  "we would never leave you Connor." the little doll smiled up at the child his position against the boy's toy chest. Connor turned and smiled at him brushing off dust from his shirt.

     "Avi! I found you!" Avi nodded his little head and moved towards the boy stiffly.

       "Indeed you have, the others have yet to wake. What troubles you child?" Avi replied quietly, looking up into the nine year old's green eyes with a look of concern on his small face.

     "He's sending me to Auntie Merriam's Avi. He's going on another business trip and doesn't want to leave me by myself." Connor sighed. If only his dad  could understand.

     "You'll be alright Connor, you have us don't you? Monsieur Belle shouldn't have to worry." Another voice piped up from a teetering tower of wooden blocks. The doll stepped out from behind the tower careful not to knock it over.

     "I know Mitch, but Papa doesn't know that. He says I'll be safer with her." Connor said worriedly glancing at the door quickly before turning his attention back to the brown haired doll that had made his way towards him.

     "What's this about going to someone's house?" A Blonde haired doll lifted her head up from the pile of leftover cards next to a carefully constructed card tower. "Are we not good enough care for you?" She asked straightening the ribbon atop her head as she made her way over to the other two dolls standing next to Connor.

     "Of course not Kristie, you're all wonderful but..." Conner trailed off sadly not knowing quite how to say what he wanted to.

     "But Monsieur Belle doesn't think so does he?" a fourth voice finished, as it's owner climbed out from beneath the card tower carefully. His painted blue eyes focused on Connor.

     "Yes Scott, that's exactly it." Connor replied nodding. "But you'll be with me so it won't be so bad will it?" He continued with a small, hopeful smile.

     "Of course we'll be there Connor, we would never leave you alone when you need us." Scott smiled reassuringly.

     "Will you sing for me again please?" Connor asked quietly,a pleading look his green eyes. The four smiled at each other already hearing the sounds of Lindsey and Kevin tuning their instruments.

     "Anything for you Connor."
