Gerd comes in, "So I can't tell your mom and dad about the game? But I also can't play the game?" She frowns "Does not seem inclusive"

Siv hisses, "Please, keep your voice down, and no. Look, it's just ...spin the bottle is for...well, I won't say adults, but it's mostly harmless, but dad would not see it that way. Now the DeBuke boys are nice.. right, allies?"

"you're trying to cement an alliance by flirting?" Gerd says

"KIND of... " Siv blushes furiously, "And again, keep your voice down. I'm just..it's for wilders, okay? You wouldn't understand."

Gerd nods, "you're right." //Siv looks relieved//Then Gerd continues "I better find a grump to explain it to me. You know, the mountain is wise..."

Siv's mouth falls open, then realization as she sees Gerd dimpling "Okay, Gerd. What you want?"

Gerd smiles more openly "Well, since You asked...."

Siv rolls her eyes "Out wit it already ye little pirate"

Gerd continues, "There's this doll, it's like Twenty five whole dollars... and Uncle vali says I hve enough dolls and may have to wait for Yule, but that's like...forever. But if I had twentyfive dollars of my owwwwn..."

"Twenty Five dollars? for a doll?" Siv is flabbergasted

"Not just any doll, Princess Glinda Glitterpony, friend to all ponies. She's WONDERFUL" Gerd sighs, "And yes, twentyfive dollars. I don't set the prices, Siv."

Siv grumbles, "Fine. Fine. you know, some wilders play spin the bottle a lot younger than I did. I'm just catching up."

Gerd nods, "Yup. that's true. so I hear. Bet Sylvi might have played it by now. But yours is different."

"Why? Because I'm older?"

"Nope," She smiles, "Because if she DID do it, Sylvi didn't get caught." BEAM

Siv's eyes narrow, "You know, when it's your turn, I'm gonna laugh so hard. Fine, fine. I'll see if I can turn in scrap metal or something."

'Thanks, Siv," Gerd says excited

"Mmph" Siv stomps off muttering something about pirates.
