The Fellow  took the  Card,  he was feeling a bit better,..this night?.. was ..like a  celebration for her..for her....'winning"?    She loves the Dragons.. You are her  hero.. I   Put your Number on a  t-shirt and she wears it   all the time....

 He  waved with a hand Back toward the group,..You have  some  Good Friends there... he smiled at Bing.


  don't look at5 me.. I just help her tackle bad  Guys! he laughed  and shook the Man's hand..



 Lissa  came  running Back.. she loked up  at Emma....they said  I don't know   no  Drago9ns.. can You show them?  she grabbed    and  Tugged on Emma's hand.. Bing smiled and shrugged.

   There is a slight  Giggle.. I can  eat  at home after the part.. you  good little dragons, have to go to bed for work tomorrow.. so... I think.. anyone who wants to take to us.. has to find us... everyone  seems to have been greeted...

  Lu-ti  lead  Ben to the Dance Floor.. and Lana    pointed to Eddie  to set up a nice slow  song..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9035AJXSw0

 Lana's  Voice   was  smooth  and soft,  yet able to   carry over the  dance Floor

  She nestled   in and sighed..

 Mr  Amota   and His  wife   came over to the  Boncy House... they  watched Emma  and  Bing head over to  screaming Kids that Pointed at the  tiny girl leading  Wonder  Woman and Captain America  over to the    play area.


 They stood  and watched Stoic...   Mr Wilkes looked  at them and said,..thank you....

 Me Amota  Raised  a Hand  and gave his  head a shake......No... Thank  You... You have made me happy to know .. we can help... and... You have... made  my Team... a Family...

 Yuto  came Running  Over......Mr  Wilkes... he bowed his  head a bit... we   have  some things  to Talk about  Sunday..  so  I can get things  set..yes?

  Adam  walked through the  area  Folks were dancing.. Kids  Playing  , and He  stood   watching   from under a  tree by the   food tables , taking a drink.

 ..Hey  Hoser Partner?...  You ok?

 Adam Nodded  with a  grin, I was at One  Fund raiser in my whole career... remember?

  bah!.. sure  do!... them   edjits  for  the  Homeless  or somthin'?   all dressed up in them suits.. Ladies in  fancy  gowns.. there we are.. me and you in   old  3 Pieces  suits..  getting    handshakes  and  back slaps  form  folk who wouldn't give is  the time o'day  if we didn't wear  Hamilton  Colors... Hosers...

 Adam Nodded to the Folks out   in the  area.. thousands, if you count those  down by the lake,..these  folks started  out like that?... The Amota's  are used to holding things  like this.. they did it in Japan.. but i was ' gaijin '.. I didn't belong.. until I started  scoring Touchdowns  and stuff... then  I as "Adamisen"... These  people... they have seen  what 'real people'  are like.. and  that should be a Good  Thing for  the  Area...and the Dragons..


 If you   say so... I'm just Glad ta Be here!

   Adam     whacked Him on the back and     Kept it on his shoudler.

   Mik  Grinned  as he did the same... then a  woman dressed  as  'the sound of Music  Girl " finger waved  at  Mik...

 ..Um... Bomb?

 ..go..get out of here...

  Mik when     hopping along like  a   Cow  Boy towards the woman  who walked  with him to the food  Table.

Emma walked over with Bing to see the other kids that Lissa needed to introduce them to. Yeah, the kids were yelling, but what else did one expect, really? They were little kids.

  The Kids  about half the  Kids  gathered   around  and Lissa  Proudly showed on  'Emmie Dragon"   and  Bing..of course some of the  mother-helpers  came over.. some talkign with Emma  about  'what's it Like".. the other HAlf  talkign to Bing  asking him whatever popped in thier heads,  just for him to talk with them..and of course..  dozens of   cell's  where  taking   scores  of pictures.

Emma chatted with the kids and the mother-helpers, telling them what it's like and making sure to paint it all in a positive light (which wasn't hard to do, as it was mostly all true from her perspective). She mostly just ignored the picture taking and let people take the pictures as they wanted to. It was a pretty normal thing, all things considered.

   about 11:00    Yuto    went on the Gazebo and Got the  Mic  from Lana.

    Attention..  friends  and Family...all those who attended tonight.. This is the 1st Annual  Dragon Halloween Party for  Wishing Well. We  thank you all   for what  you have  Given... not  just   from us... But  from, the children , who cannot thank you... but  will  recieve the care  that might not...elsewise..get.

 ..I Thank our  Dragon Family.. from support to Players who  gave up time to meet with you all, and  help make this enjoyable for all!.. we will have announcement in paper  and   TV News, of  what we have raised this night.. and Hope  we can beat that Next year!

 there  was clasping,..now?..Draogon Players  should be getting  home soon, Coach Sims  has   loosened  the curfew.. but.. tomorrow is practcie day!... and the Little ones  need to Go Home...school tomorrow for some..yes?

 Other Guests  are welcome to come into the MAnor  for  a late  drink  before  You leave if you wish...Thank you all again...

 Lana  Took the Mic  and  added,..For our part.. we had a Blast... This  is the best Gig i have ever had.. Eddie,  Sandy. On Guitar.. Misty on Keyboard.. and Crash on the drums... we'll see some of you at sunday's  game, we will open.. and do Halftime... If you can't be there.. catch us on the  TV!..  Thanks  Folks!

  with that, some investors   did make their  way to the MAnor… Mr and  Mrs  Amota    shook ands  and said  good  Bye to others..  Kids  were scooped up  by parents who carried  most of the worn out little ones to cars... a  short Green bus , painted like a Dragon,  and some kids  and    Nurses   enter to take them back to Children's


 Lissa   ran Back to Give  Emma   a Last  Hug,  and her  Dad  carried her   off towards  a beat up van.

………………………………………………………………...

  Lana  Hunted down   Adam and   talked   him onto going for  a walk towards the Lake.

 As they Walked  Ivory and His  Wife  stopped them,..I was hoping to talk with  you Mr  Bronk?.. but you were a Bit busy tonight?


..yes sir..  i gues that's  waht  i was here for..meet and Greet..

 Bana  looked at  Lana   and raised her  eyebrows   a coupel time..Lana winked back.

..You goign to cause  any problems on Sunday, Adam?

..Yes Sir, I hope so.. if  i don't? I'm not  doing my Job...

 The Taller man smiled  and shook Adam's  Hand, as  did  Bana. Have a Good  game, son...

  Lana  shook her head,..is this  normal for you?

 well? It wasn't, but the closer  we get to the playoffs.. the more  Flash there will be.. right now?  we're on a 'win streak'.... Then it will go " can the be the #1 seed ".. The it will be " can they go Undefeated"  and Finally. " can they win the superbowl"...

 ..you have it all figured out?

  the only folks who are goign to want us  to keep  winning, are  JAcksonville fans..and.. maybe  those fans  who..if  we knock off  the team we are playing..helps thier  team get to the playoffs.. noe one   wants   thw Dragons to go undefeated, and they sure  don't want us   in..let alone..win.. the Superbowl.. but?.. That's a Long away down the  road...

 Lana lays her head on His shoudler  as they  go for a  walk...

………………………………………………………………..

 Lu-ti     was with Ben. she  said,..let us take   short walk?  I  will have to go in and talk  with those who stayed...

 As they walked  she  said,..thursday Night   would be good.. I have been to LaTonni's ..they have very good food..but it is.. very expensive..

Emma said her goodnights to people before making her way back to her truck and heading home for the night.

Ben enjoyed dancing with Lu-Ti, and managed a wave for Eddie for the slow song, even whilst his hands were mostly occupied holding his beloved.

As things wound down, he was happy to go for a stroll with her before departing.

"Of course, my love. Then I shall walk you up to the house. I'd better not come in - as you say, good little Dragons need to return to their lairs ready for practise tomorrow. As for LaTonni's... the guy was arranging for Adam and Lana to have their date there, then turned to me, gave me the card and said I should show up with you as well. I'm not going to pass up the opportunity. You've been there, is it a dressy place?"

  Lu-Ti   smiled  at the thought of LaTonni's. They   do not expect suits.. too hot  down here? The  want..   slacks, and   collar shit. or  Nice Polo shirt . Yuto  takes his dates there.. he wears   dark green Dragon Polo  with  little  'Jackie '   above pocket/

 They stand  By the Lake a bit, she just leans  in to him and   the  watch the    last few  dozen folks m, make their last ride across the  lake  before   going home, or the manor.

…………………………………………..

 Lana  Stops Adam  Under a Tree  about Halfway down  to the Lake,..So?  Adam Bronk....  she giggle s and does  a little  pantomime of Lissa,..bomb!... and   laughs   softly.

 Adam  looks   a bit quizzical ..Linda  Corisky...

 Her  eyes  went  wide,..how do yo know that!

 ..Head  cheerleader  for     Carver  HS.. went to  to?  what?   U Conn  for     Lib arts?

  she looked at him.

 ..what was it you  yelled  when i broke the Pocket and ran  down your Team's  sideline?... "break his legs?"...something  like that?

 she put her  hand to her mouth,oh my god? you heard  that?

 Adam nodded  My  buddy..  Benny, he was    our   Halfback  Took out the DB  right where you were  running   his words were, " hey? I think she noticed you"...

 she  Covered her   face  as she giggled,..you ruined  my  senior  Homecoming..you know that...

 ..That's what i said  in the locker room.. Let's ruin thier Homecoming..  didn't help that i was made I had to play QB.. I needed  100 more yards  receiving for 1000... that might have   got me a  Ticket to a DII  team, or  even   a decent  DI... but.. it  didn't happen...

 She Put her  hands on his chest,..well?  it worked out..right?.... I can't   imagine you being in a better place  right now?

  He smiles,..Yeah...  I can't argue...

  sHe  kissed him  softly,.. Come on... Lets  walk  to your  car... The  Band packing things up.. I'm a Diva, so i don't have to  do stuff like that..

  she linked an  arm,..wo..  what do you think aboiut the GAme Sunday?

 we should  win..  its  a   homegame.. we've  been away  a while, I told  Emma  she's never been  to a game like that.. our  Fans are the Best...

 well?   I'm gonna be there  too.. so maybe   we can add soemthing to the noise...

Adam chuckled.....Yuto has  a plan.. Yuto?  Always has a Plan.. anyway..  this  game is goign to be  rocking... and i have to believe  every score  we make   is  goign to  shake  florida all the  way down to the tip..

 They reached  the Car , she looked at the Little Green Mazda,..Really?


..I like it... get used to it.. this is what we're going to La Tonni's in...

 she shook her head......yeah.. That's a Bronk Mobile. she chuckled.

 Go..get rest... she   hugged him  , hung on to a Lingering kiss   then  looked over her shoulder, I'll see you a  few more times, before   Thursday....

 Adam  Pulled out  Beeping horn.. the  roadies    had   the   Van packed, and thier tour Bus  was  ready to  leave.. Ytuo talked to them, and the whole  crew   were invited  in to schmooze  with  the  hangers on..

As Lu-ti leaned in to Ben beside the lake, he made sure that some kisses went her way.

An eternity later, they walked back to the house, hand-in-hand if Ben had anything to do with it.

"See you soon, my love. I'd better go now, like a good Dragon, and curl up in my lair..."

He got his truck and betook himself home.

 Trick or Treat Night))


   Many of the Players  walked to the     massive  maze of  stalls  and  decorations. After  the   Treat Night  was over..  Players  were to autographs soem of the    Inflatables, that would be actioned  off  on Saturday through a Local Radio station, and the fund, would again, go to Amota Med.

  Ghosts  danced   as the Fans    fed  air into them.. Dragons, Pumpkins  and   a Snoppy in a Pumpkin.. other static  displays of skeletons  were wolves  ah the rest   abounded.

   Adam  recivered  his  'station "  he and Mick would be  by a stall that looked  like a saloon. where they would had out Juisce  boxes  and the , Prepared , Dragon goodie  bags.

 there  was  some  'funny ghosts  and goofy Gobbins  for   the  wee small kids... But, the rule was , the kids   had to go in by themselves, so Parents  couldn't 'over do it. Dragonettes  still in   barbarian costumes  would  lead them through a  dozen at a time... at the End   were two paths.. if you took the   'tunnek yo got  a small 'dragon item'.. if you wnet into the hauntyed house.. you got a bigger  dragon item.

Ben turned up in his wizard outfit and wandered around, with a slightly bemused look on his face.

Emma arrived in her Wonder Woman costume. She went over towards whichever booth or station she was supposed to be taking over for the night.

 Ben , Lu-Ti  and Du7ke   had a Booth   were they  gave a  bag of Cotton Candy alo9ng  with the  special dragon Bag. There was a  Castle behind them

 Emma,  Bing  and  White, who was Hawkeye had  bags  of cheese popcorn, Carmel  Corn  Or Pretzels to go with their Dragon Bags. There  was a stall that looked   like  a city street  behind them.

 The  Kids  were lining up..  group was being Led By a dragonette , spooky mnusic  was being played, and  howls and screeches   echoed throuhg the  parting  lot.. spooky   ghosts   would flash  when a Black Light  hit them .


 people were gathered  watchinghe Kids, the Media   took some  pictures , CBS  was goign to  use it  for a pregame spot.

Ben was messing around with some card tricks and other bits of stage magic - shooting flame, making things appear and disappear and so on.

Emma was mostly giving out the food and Dragon bags at her booth. She'd also do some photos with the kids. Occasionally, when one or more of the kids had a good superhero or villain costume, she'd act out a scene 'in the street' with them fighting off the bad guys so their parents could get video or pictures of their kid having fun.

 The  Night started to get into full swing, the    groups of  kids, no more then 10 at a time, no less then 6... were goign through... screams of    fear and delight  came from the 'haunted house' at the end of the maze of stalls. added to the Music  and sound  effects.

 Laughter   and  Giggle s from   the Dragonettes and Paretts  who had to  stay 'outside the path" of the maze, but  could still get pics   at The Stalls.

 Big   grimaced a bit  as he   picked up a  rather..heavy little  Girl who had a brace on her  leg , and was dressed  as  The Scarlett Witch .. the Girl  smiled   wide  as her   parents  took   pics, and   'Captain America   Carried  her  to the Next   stall that Had  Smokey, Sloan  and Spencer  dressed in thier  costumes .. the parents got  a video  of him   carrying her  and setting her   down.. she   Gave  Him   a hug around the Legs , before turnign to the Task of getting candy.

 Spencer was   Drested  as 'The Thing'  with his face orange  with   lines  drawn while his Costunme  added  a bit More  Muscles.  He   took Up the   Little   Girl  as  well  and  walked with her  to The  next both with   Miels and Sloan   stood  with   thier  Knight   costumes And  Cruz  dressed up like a Jester.... Miles , in turn   pciked up the  Girl to carry her to the next booth...

   Mr  and Mrs Amota  made a  surprise    appearance   and waited  at the  'exit ' part of the  Trick or treat.. they  gave the parents   envolupes  that had  Dragon Team checks  in. 'scouting' by the  dragonettes  would point certain  parnest oput  who  ...were not well off... They recived 300.00... 'well off' parent s recived   50 -100   to make the   awards   seem more  like  random  treats  then...'help'  from the Team

Emma interacted with the kids as well. The younger ones were always the most enthusiastic. They weren't old enough to have that need to be 'cool' at all times. She passed out Dragon bags and pretzels to the kids when she wasn't interacting with the kids. The goal was to give at least a couple minutes to each kid or group of kids so it didn't feel like they were just being funneled through from station to station.

  There  were media  Folks, Mostly Local news  covering the Big  event ( big from the kids view!)

  But  some folks asking   the parents  about  the  Event and  the  Dragons... lots of  Little kids  held  up Dragon Bags   and   yelled  'yay Dragons"  or   'Go Dragons"

 there were some   Teens  who went through  with just some make up on, and were  surprised to be Given treats and  stuff like anyone  else. And they Really like the 'older kids ' haunted house

 Then, what seemed like a surprise to all (  except Mr and Mrs Amota ) .. a White      flatbed tow truck  pulled up.. the   truck was painted  to Look like a  Dragon, and On the  Back was  Lana  and her Reavers,  dressed like Vampires  again.

  when the  struck stopped Lana  grabbed  a   Mike and the speakers   set on  either  end of the Flatbed  were turned up.

 ..hey Folks!.. You all having a good  time?....Well me  and  My bad had such fun yesterday... we decided to come out   here  and Provide  some Music  for you!.....Hope  , those of you who can't make the GAme Sunday.. will catch us on TV.. we're  doing   the pregame.... the anthem ..Halftime  and a postgame  party  at the  Dragons Lair!

 People cheered  and she Nodded to Eddie... and  they  began to Play

Ben sang along, let off some more bursts of flame, and generally enjoyed the music.

   With the    Halloween event  winding Down.. Tired  , but happy Kids were leaving, Lana and the Reavers   signed  pictures   and had  a big  plastic  Pumpkin-looking, bin.  Kids could  reach in  and pull out one Item.. they would    either Get a T-shirt  with Lana  singing on it.... or a T-shirt with the whole band..  a CD..or a DVD  of there  3  best Videos.


  as  most of the People were leaving,  the Goodies that were left  we're given to players  who had  Kids, as  well as  all the security folks... Lana  made sure   the security  Folks got  T-shirts (that fit!)


  A white Limo Pulled up..beeping the horn , wanting to get through... The Security  wouldn't  let them,  two tall  , well built  Black men got out  of the back, one  had a white   suit on, the other had a  suit  with  his   coat  thrown over his  shoudlers  Like a Cape.

 Mr   Amota    approached them ( still in costume).. Adam came   jogging over  as soon as he saw them get out of the car.

  The  man with the   funny hat and sunglasses ( yes its  dark out) Flashed  white teeth,..Oh?.. I hope i didn't disturb your party.. But   I'm BattleAxe  Bennis.. this is my associate  Link Lomes.. we come to get a look at the locker  room and Field...

  Mr Amota    said simply.. 'no '

Ben was helping tidy up, but he made sure to find some time for Lu-Ti.

Once White had taken off, Emma looked over at Bing. "You still good to hang out for a bit and risk my cooking?" Emma asked the man easily. She wasn't sure if all the kid lifting had strained him more than expected with his injury.

  Bing nodded  ,..You bet?...  I've eaten alot of  fast food, Dragon's Den, and  restaurant  food  in the last  few months..be nice   to see how some one else cooks..

  he Puts  his shield on his back, He  Gets  Bright  to take a Pict of   Emma   and  Him in costume together, in which he brings the shiled  Back out.
