"Ah think," said Huntress, "that we should try ta find somethin' that Ebony might like an' enjoy. 'Cause she's in term, we don' wanna make 'er self-conscious 'bout 'erself."
~~~~~
"Have you ever thought of starting your own aromatherapy business?" asked Ebony.

"That thought has occurred to me." Ondine said as she glanced over to Mike, who was chatting with the still-convalescent Lightning. "Tex will be stepping down from his post at the company in a few years, and I'm already putting seed money aside to start a business if I decide to."
Lyle sighted the Villa Francesca Mall ahead. "Look, there's a Dodge service place. They have gifts n' stuff."

"I think you should go for it," said Ebony, "It might be interesting."
~~~~~
"Good, les' check it out an' see what kind 'o gifts they have," said Huntress.

Lyle accompanied his GF into the gift section of the local Dodge Service Center. There were all kinds of things on display - decals, ornamental and jewelled magnets, a few wing and spoiler falls, and many personal and household items. He paused with her before a rack of baby items, waiting while she studied them. He would honestly admit that he knew next to nothing about what to get for an expectant mother and her offspring.

"We shouldn't get Ebony anything tacky," explained Huntress, as she looked at the rack of baby items, "It has ta be somethin' special. Somethin' ta make 'er feel loved. When muh aunt was in term, we all chipped in an' got 'er some Instrumental CDs. It helped 'er lots an' she like it. So Ah was thinkin', since babies kin hear soothin' music being played, mebbe we kin get Ebony some o' those same CDs."
(((((OOC: And I think this is true...)))))

"Now that'd be somethin'." Lyle nodded. "Better th' more oilpads any time."
<<< oilpads - to keep babies from having accidents on the floor, of course! >>>

"Yep," agreed Huntress, "It's like muh family always says, if'n it calms th' mother, it calms th' baby. Works ev'ry time. Ebony is goin' ta need th' CDs. We'll get a couple fer 'er jes' so she kin have a variety ta choose from."

"Neither would I," Kitt grinned.
~~~~~
Neil was coming back from the Butte when the stuntcar stopped as he spied his favorite target with a cobalt racer at the diner.
He crept silently up behind the pair and honked his horn causing Kitt to jump five feet in the air.
~~~~~
"You will," Phoenix said. "Bad things happen if you fall asleep at a party with Neil around, though I don't think he'll try anything with you."
She cast a glance at Boost. She wanted to talk to him on what to get Ebony for the shower.

<<<LOL Poor Kitt!>>>
"Let's get that, then." Lyle agreed. "With twins on th' way, she's gonna need all th' calm she kin get."
The clerk at the checkout cocked her front as these words filtered back to her. Twins?

Sapphire was just as startled, but she didn't react the same way as Kitt did. She quickly spun around, glaring daggers at the Shelby Mustang who had honked his horn at them.
"Why'd you do that for?" she demanded.
~~~~~
Boost had been quiet throughout the whole conversation between his sister and her friend, and had just been standing back and watching and listening. He noticed that Ebony had moved inside her Cone and noticed her unhappiness.
He was wondering what he could do to cheer her up.
~~~~~
"We could buy 'er a collection," said Huntress, "of one o' her favorite artists. Ah hear she likes John Tesh and New Age music."
(((((OOC: Not sure how to Carsify John Tesh, but I'm leaving it like that... and I was thinking that the news of Ebony having twins could spread all the way until it reaches George Sanders...)))))

Neil shrugged. "Thought I'll just I'll introduce myself to 'Ickle Kittiken's new friend. Name's Neil Shelby."
Kitt looked at Neil with a look that plainly said, 'please don't embarrass me'.
~~~~~
Phoenix pulled alongside Boost. "I know that look, what are you thinking about?"
(((BE heading out to work soon..)))

Sapphire raised an eyeshade, "Really? Well, I'm Sapphire Sky, daughter of The King. You know, that blue 'Bird over there with the Dinoco sponsorship logos on him?"
~~~~~
"I was just thinking of how I can cheer Ebs up," replied Boost, "She looks so unhappy."

"Nice to meet ya. And I've heard of him, never met him." Neil said. "More of the cross country racer back in the day." He glanced at Kitt. "Got yourself a girlfriend finally."
Fortunately Kitt was red, so no one could see him blushing.
~~~~~
"Maybe we could do something at the party for her to cheer her up," Phoenix suggested. "And I really have no idea of what to get her either."
(((And I'm off to work.)))

"Only for this year." Strip called back. "When Tex finds somebody new, I got an appointment with Ramone. Some pinstriping would be nice. And good to meet you too."
"Hmm... that might be an idea for me too." the gold Caddy added.
"Ebony's gonna like this'un, I think." Lyle checked out an Enya CD. "Whaddaya think?"
In the meantime, that clerk was still listening. The middle-aged '78 Volare woman had little else to do on this sleepy afternoon.
