Chapter 6
Wow, 12 followers. That is 12 more than I ever expected. Thank you guys for reading this far. And now, on to the story.
Mr. Forkle walked in the door to Havenfield to see Sophie and Keefe sitting in one of the couches.
"Hello." He said. "You wanted to see me?"
"Yes, and you've got a lot of explaining to do." Sophie said.
"What is this all about?" Mr. Forkle asked, sitting down.
"It's about how you lied straight to Foster's face." Keefe said angrily.
"What?" Mr. Forkle asked, sounding confused. "I've shown you the two memories we had taken from you like you asked. What else do you want?"
"I asked you if Kenric was my biological father." Sophie put in quietly. "You said he wasn't. You said you would had no reason to keep it a secret because he is dead. My biological father is dead, and you didn't even tell me."
Mr. Forkle's face was pale. "You messed up big time, Forkle." Ro said from a corner. She walked forward. "Two days ago Blondie came over to see Hunkyhair here, about to break down in tears. You know why? Because she found out that her biological father was Kenric. The poor girl not only found out you had lied straight to her face, but that he was dead. You did this, Forkle"
"How did you know?" Mr. Forkle whispered.
"I was with Oralie. We were trying to figure out who he was, because we figured they had to have met at least once. I probed her mind, and knocked one memory loose that probably was not meant to be found."
"How?" Mr. Forkle asked.
"I don't know. All I know is I found out that Kenric was my biological father. After his planting, I asked you. I asked you if he was my father, and you said no. You said you had no reason to hide it because of his death. I believed you. I trusted you." A few tears slipped from Sophie's face.
"Foster, it's okay." Keefe wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head.
"Did I miss something?" Mr. Forkle asked, sounding confused.
"Oh, yeah. Foster and I are dating now." Keefe replied.
"What about the un-"
"Unmatchable thing? We don't care."
"Back on topic." Sandor growled, coming into the room. He walked over to Mr. Forkle. "How could you do this. We all trusted you. We knew you couldn't tell us everything, but you couldn't tell us this?"
"All I wanted-"
"I don't want to hear excuses." Grady walked down the stairs, Edaline right behind him. "You did this to my daughter. You kept this from her. You are seriously going to regret this." He growled.
"I couldn't tell her. I would have turned her life upside down." Mr. Forkle protested.
"Well it still did, so great job there." Sophie said sarcastically, sitting up.
Mr. Forkle defended himself. "You were never meant to find out, and neither was Oralie."
"Well I had a right to. It is my personal information that I deserved to know. If I want to look around and see if I can learn anything, I will." Sophie said. She leaned back into Keefe as he wrapped his arms around her again.
"Why don't you come with us for a second?" Grady said. Mr. Forkle got up and walked after him into the other room. Sandor and Ro followed close behind. Edaline sat on the couch next to Sophie and Keefe.
"I'm so sorry you have to go through this." Edaline said. "If there's anything I can do to help, I will."
"Can I ask for your permission to do something?" Sophie said.
"What is it?"
"Can I go to the Forbidden Cities for a few minutes and grab some movies and something to watch them on? It would be great if I could just hang out with you guys tonight and watch movies." (A/N: I know they don't speak English, but let's pretend they can understand the movies.)
"Of course. That sounds great." Edaline said. "Once Mr. Forkle leaves, you can teleport there for a few minutes. I'll explain to Grady what you are doing. But you must-"
"Take Sandor, I know." Sophie said.
"And I'm going." Keefe said.
"Keefe there's really no-"
"Nope. I'm coming and you're not changing my mind." Keefe said stubbornly. "I want to be able to see all the weird human movies."
"Well you'll get to see them tonight." Sophie said.
"You mean I can come to your family movie night?" Keefe asked, sounding surprised.
"Of course! You're part of the family!" Edaline said.
At that moment, Mr. Forkle walked out of the room, his face looking especially blotchy and red. Grady, Sandor, and Ro followed him out, looking pleased with themselves. "Maybe you should come with me." Sophie whispered to Keefe. "Just so you're not alone with my parents."
"Fine with me." Keefe whispered back.
"We'll have to talk about this later." Edaline said.
"May I explain why-"
"First you have to earn our trust back," Grady said, "And then maybe we'll listen."
"I understand. Have a good day." He left Havenfield, raising a crystal up to the light and shimmering away.
"Ready to go?" Sophie asked Keefe.
"Yeah let's go!" Keefe exclaimed.
"Where are they going?" Grady asked, not sounding to happy.
"Come on, and I'll tell you." Edaline led Grady to the next room, Sophie and Keefe already out the door.
They ran down to the cliff side, and unlocked the gate. They stood on the edge of the cliffs.
"Ready?" Sophie asked.
"Of course. This is my favorite way to travel." Keefe said, grabbing on to Sophie's hand.
"Three, two, one!" They jumped off the cliff, hurtling towards the ground, and at the last second,
Sophie teleported them into the void and straight to a Forbidden City.

"What do you want to buy?" Keefe asked as they walked around the city.
"Disney, Disney, and Disney." Sophie said.
"What's that?" Keefe asked. "And why do you want to buy 3 of the Dizznees?"
"Oh, you'll see."
They teleported back to Havenfield with a box of Disney movies, a DVD player, and a TV. "I'll get Dex to make these better tomorrow, but they will do just fine for tonight." Sophie said. "Everybody ready?" She put in Beauty and the Beast. She went and sat down with Keefe and her parents. Keefe put an arm around her as she leaned onto his shoulder.
"I love you, Foster." He whispered into her ear.
"I love you too, Keefe." She whispered back.
They watched many movies that night, and had some leftover mallowmelt. It was a wonderful, relaxing, and peaceful night. They loved it.
