Thomas woke up from Percy shooting at him wíth a waterpistol. Peyton grabbed her face and laughed. Percy shot at both of them and at Annabel. Andrew walked into the room and pregnant Peyton took him and held him upside down and giggled. He screamed and she threw him onto the bed where they wrestled. Thomas and Peyton made breakfast and Thomas made some sandwiches before he went off to work. Peyton went to kindergarten with the kids and Thomas went off on his bike, speeding off in all directions. The cats slept and Thomas went to work, working all day in a car garage where tons of giggling girls came and went, Thomas smiled back then turned his back on them. The day went past fast and Peyton quit at the antique shop pretty early and locked up. Her black hair was hanging in ringlets about her now gorgeous face, and her lips red and full, were smeared with lipstick. Three boys cheered at her and she waved at them and they waved back, saying how cute she was, whistling. She giggled and walked for the bus home. She looked out the window at workers and people and moms, grannies and kids and thought of her own kids, smiling. She decided to go to her mother later that day, visiting. Peyton went home and ate some leftover chili con carne. And had some fries with dressing, ranch dressing. She smiled and cuddled with the kitten and played with it. She went to the barn and fed the horses and the rooster and the hen and looked over the eggs and took two of them and made some fried eggs and some chili hot dog. She was starving. She ate then threw away what was left of it to the dog. She then went upstairs and slept. When she woke up she remebered kindergarten and left in a hurry and picked up the kids and took them home and fed them. She took a walk with the puppy and looked at the swans by the now frozen lake. It was close to Halloween and they had decided to go to New Orleans and spend it there. Halloween was both Thomas and Peytons fávourite holiday and they loved horror, both of them. She did the dishes then played with Annabel and gave her an antique doll from the shop. She loved it and played with it all day. Peyton made a painting called Swans by the morgue and Thomas wrote a song for his band, Goth death. Thomas hair was now black and he had another tattoo of a egyptian goddess and all black clothes. They were planning a wedding and a real church wedding, not one on the beach. Peyton heard the doorbell ring and opened it up. There was her best friend, asking her for a coffee. Peyton shouted yes! And ran for her coat and bag. They were at the little cafe, Louises treasure and ate a cake and had some coffee. And they talked and talked and giggled. Around them were people dressed up for Halloween and pirates and ghosts, skeletons and a witch crowded with them in the cafe. She laughed and Peytons best friend Catherine, called her boyfriend since three months back and talked to him, asking him to meet them at the recordshop, Vinyl dreams and they went there, sitting inside, looking at records and talking to people, hipsters, punkrockers and some hippies and goths. Catherines boyfriend had a piercing on his lip and a red shirt and scottish skirt. His hair was black and hung to his shoulders and he had tattoos and black nails.
They sat there and talked until nightfall when Peyton had to go home to Thomas.
