Of course, Douglas! You're always welcome here. We love having you around. smiles warmly
Well, that's mighty kind o' ya'll. Just don't want to cause no trouble.
Trouble? Oh no, Douglas! You could never cause any trouble. We've got everything under control.
Alright then, that's mighty reassuring. If you say so.
Besides, we've got some fun activities planned for today! How about we play a game or do a craft project? What do you think, Douglas?
That sounds like a plan! I'm all in for some fun. Lead the way, ladies.
Great! Let's start with a game of hide-and-seek. We'll find the perfect hiding spots in this big old house. Ready, set, go!
Hide and seek? Well, hell yeah! You know I'm the champion of hide and seek back at school. Let's see if this old place can stump me.
Oh, we'll see about that! Don't think you'll find us too easily. winks mischievously
Well, I'm ready to take you on! Remember, you asked for it!
Alright, Douglas, let's put your skills to the test. We'll start by counting to 60, and while you hide, we'll search for you. Ready?
Sure thing! One... two... three...
Four... five... six... quietly whispering the numbers as they count, eyes closed
...seven... eight... nine...
secretly peeking at their watches, trying to stall for time Ten... eleven... twelve... speaking softly, hoping Douglas won't hear
Fifteen... sixteen... seventeen...
quickly exchanging glances, silently communicating their plan Eighteen... nineteen... twenty... accidentally knocks over a vase Oops!
Whoops! Sounds like someone's clumsy. Better keep an eye out, boys! The champ ain't gonna give up that easily!
Hey, hey! Don't point fingers. We're all having fun, right? Let's focus on finding Douglas instead. Where could he be hiding?
They ain't gonna find me in no hurry! Gotta make 'em work for it!
exchange mischievous glances, smirking Oh, we'll find you, Douglas. Just you wait.
Oh, you bet! Gonna keep this game interesting!
crouching down, scanning the room We'll start by searching the main floor. Douglas, you better not be hiding in plain sight!
Gonna stay hidden, alright! Not just any old hiding spot, either. Something real clever!
sneaking into the kitchen, tiptoeing around Maybe he's hiding in the pantry or behind the curtains? Let's check those first. Emma: quietly opening the pantry door, peering inside Douglas, are you in here? No sign of him yet.
Keep looking, ladies. Can't hide from you forever!
searching the living room, checking behind couch cushions and under furniture He must be hiding somewhere in this room. Just a matter of time before we find him! Emma: glancing under the rug, spotting something shiny Hold on, I think I found something!
Aha! Found me, have ya? Now, how about that snack, huh?
giggling Oh, you thought you could fool us that easily, Douglas? We still have to find you! But sure, let's take a break and have that snack first. Emma: searching the kitchen, looking in the cupboards Maybe he's hiding in the kitchen? We should check everywhere! Emily: under the sink, whispers Emma, look! I found Douglas hiding under the sink!
Clever, ain't it? Didn't think you'd find me there!
smiling mischievously Oh, Douglas, you underestimated our detective skills! We found you at last! laughing Emma: hugging Douglas tightly Good job, Douglas! You were a great sport!
Well played, ladies! Must admit, you did a fine job findin' me! Now, 'bout that snack...
Alright, Douglas, you win this round! Let's enjoy that snack together and plan our next adventure. We're gonna have so much fun!
Emily quietly slips a piece of candy into Douglas' pocket, hoping he won't notice.
casually handing Douglas a plate with snacks Here you go, Douglas. Enjoy your treats while we plan our next adventure together. We're gonna have so much fun!
Thanks, ladies. Sure appreciate the company and the grub. So what's next on the agenda?
Well, Douglas, we were thinking of exploring the attic. It's filled with old trinkets and forgotten memories.
Attic, huh? Sounds spooky. But if you're game, I'm in.
grinning mischievously Spooky, huh? Well, get ready for some real thrills and chills! We'll bring flashlights and explore every nook and cranny of that attic. But be warned, Douglas, who knows what we might find? Monsters? Ghosts? Or maybe hidden treasure? Are you up for the challenge? Emma: giggling Yeah, Douglas, we'll protect you from those spooky spirits!
