So he hadn't been round long enough to figure things out yet. Sophie knew she'd have to show him a few things and keep him safe in the meantime; especially if he had an urge to go to the slums. "Jet lag or a long ship journey can do that to you. This is tourist centre right here. The marina is to the right and the farmers market is to the left and further out. The mall is straight ahead and the food hall has a burger place if you want. There's also one in the old town near the west slums" Sophie advised as they'd have to pick a direction soon. "The malls food hall does most things and its got a movie theatre on the top floor of it; a multiplex and we get all the releases at the same time as the US" she also advised. Jace Maddox

"The slums doesn't sound very entertaining honestly I mean unless we want trouble which is something I do need to stay out of at the moment so the mall is good. I figure I will start with food I know and then my next food trips out I will try different things." It was easier to do that as a kid. "Oh I am for sure planning a fright fest at the theatre in that case. Got to at least hope they might play either some new horror or classic horror." Sophie Chang

So with a decision made Sophie nodded and she did note that he needed to stay out of trouble. She wondered why though. “Let’s go to the mall then. You’ll find out more later on” she replied as she led the way. So entering the huge mall she added “I suppose you get new horror movies coming out all the time as part of release schedules. If they’re planning a classic horror event it most likely will be round Halloween. They do show older movies from time to time. It could be done but we could do it ourselves at the orphanage. I’ve seen horror movies before and my late father figured out I could handle them”. A lot of people were still around as they reached the food hall and they just needed to get into line along with hungry workers and curious tourists. The queue was a good cross section of the people you’d find here. Jace Maddox

"The cake bit went okay," he said as he entered and looked around the mall. "I guess that means a horror fest might be okay. Though I do not want it all the time it is nice to have such a group of people that make you feel welcomed." He had got that memo from his brothers a lot which he thought was good. "Did you want a burger or were you wanting something else?" Sophie Chang

The lounge TV was big enough to be a home cinema, they had a dvd player attached to it and they just needed to make sure little ones who weren't supposed to see blood, guts and horror weren't there. "Its a doable event. How about a double bill but how far back to you want to go with the movies?" she replied. You could go back nearly a century if you wanted too but pre-code movies simply weren't as graphic. "A burger will be fine for me. Mushrooms and onions on top" she added. Jace Maddox

"Current so maybe 10 years? I guess we could do twenty years to see anything that would be a true classic to us but then again nothing might get it going like an old black and white movie too. I might take a survey to see what everyone's ideas have too and so they do not feel left out." He nodded. "Alright bread or no bread?" he only asked because he knew some people did not want the bread. Sophie Chang

Having seen a few films that were way beyond her years already she knew what Jace meant. “Once we have a few suggestions the movies can be picked out. Things did look scarier in black and white so why not start with Dracula? Oh and bread for the burger as well” she replied. Jace Maddox

"Dracula does seem like a good starting point. I might also see if people can also want to decorate snacks because I have no idea if anyone has ever done anything like that but will have the chance." He nodded. "Okay will put the order in," he said and did just that before coming back. "They said ten minutes so not too long." Sophie Chang

"We've done Halloween at the orphanage; as well as birthday parties so we should be handle that. We've a DVD player attached to the lounge tv so could have the event there. We can look round the DVD's here for ideas as well" Sophie replied. Jace at least looked closer to 18 than she was so he could purchase any movies they found today. "Ten minutes is pretty good" she added as they stepped off to the waiting area and for their order number to be called. Jace Maddox

"I do like how it's coming together nicely and I do hope that everyone can have a good time. We can have cookies if you or Rocco find the time but if not then we can have other snacks also someone should not always have to just work, having fun is apart of everything we do as well." Sophie Chang

"Well if you're doing scary movies I could supply a scary cake or make up some Halloween type cookies" Sophie offered. "Others could also bring something for the table. I don't mind doing the baking as I'll get to have fun during the movie. Also once we know a date we can put up a poster on the notice board" she added. This was a simple idea and those tended to work best. She did have a question and posed "could we do something like that for the younger children before our event? We just need something like Casper or Scooby Doo for them". There was scary movies for everyone. Jace Maddox

"Anything to help with the theme will help" he said as he went to go speak. "One second, our number is up which means our food is ready." He did not mind the conversation but he knew that they had to also eat so he brought the burgers back on different trays and put hers in her space. "We could. Want to make it like a fun day?"

The food was ready and she wouldn’t mind the baking she’d need to do. So finding a table they could eat dinner. “Thank you Jace. We could do more; so we could make it a day with something for everybody” Sophie replied. She pondered what they could do today to make a start as well. “If it’s going to be a fun day we will need a lot more help. I know what the younger children in the group home are like and some are even clingy. So what does a fun day usually start with?” she posed. There was children of all ages there but she was making a list of dvd’s suitable for a younger audience. Not just for that fun day but for later on. Jace Maddox

"Probably a good breakfast but since it is a fun day food ordered in that way those who might sleep a little longer can still have it and then some things that they normally do and then a break and then set up." It was okay he thought. "Many ideas I would think since fun is probably one of those relative things." Sophie Chang

“I wasn’t expecting that answer” Sophie chuckled. “If it’s going to a full day face painting and creative actives would also work. Do you think it would work better just before Halloween or on that day?” she posed. Timing was key and it would have to be a Saturday as that wasn’t a school day. So little darlings could run round on sugar highs and have fun. “We could still have a scary movie night anytime and we can look round for dvds at the shop after we eat. I’ll be picking up a few for the movie library anyway”. Jace Maddox
