"I was thinking before as I was going to ask Gigi if I could take a small group actual trick or treating if they want to go. Free candy is free candy and they might enjoy it," he said. "That is true it could become hopefully a good friend thing to do around the place." Sophie Chang

“Taking a group out is a good idea. They get to do what other children do and big brother Jace can look after them. You still could do with some help to keep them all together” Sophie suggested. They could do a movie night anytime and not just on Halloween. “A movie night is always a good thing. We can have a think about the dates and how often we run that” she added. Even a party with cake and tea worked really well. Jace Maddox

"Yeah I want to make sure that everything is covered as it should be or at least as much as we can." No way to cover for everything but so far it sounded good. "Should we let them look through some of the donated stuff to make costumes out of?" It was one of the holidays that was all about the experience. Sophie Chang

Sophie considered what was said and Jace seemed to be as organised as she was and planned like she did too. She just usually nudged things along rather than making precise plans. “If we have a surplus of donated clothes we could see how creative they can get. I know what’s it’s like making things” she replied. There was always a plan B if there wasn’t enough and it would depend on the group sizes as well. Jace Maddox

"If we count the people at the coconut meet and greet or whatever that is about ten and then you know some kids?" he asked. "If so we can add them in so we have a bit round of number and go from there. How is this sounding so far?" Sophie Chang

Sophie did know some kids who weren’t part of the main group but she still helped a lot. So nodded and she replied “there’s younger children I help out so you can add a few more to the initial numbers. I might have to go with you as they can be a handful. You also don’t want anybody wandering off”. One in particular was clingy to Sophie as well so Kimberly wouldn’t be going too far. Jace Maddox

"True and plus two pairs of eyes will always be better than one. I guess that is why I like being at the orphanage a lot it's kids more so around my own age and they listen if I want to read them a story or something like that but it's not a bad thing. It gives them someone that they know they can count on too." Sophie Chang

The eating of the burger continued as they planned this out. Sophie didn’t precisely plan things beyond her rescue doll project. So her helping out was different for everyone. “It’s true. The more people they feel they can count on the better things will be. I was like them when I got there. I was still hurting mentally and physically and the friends I made helped that healing process. Then I was able to give back” she replied. Which reminded her it would be a good idea to check those clothes for styles Sarah and the older girls might like. Sophie doubted she’d suit those clothes even when she was older. Being petit and flat chested made her look more like a boy. Jace Maddox

He was of the branch that pain never truly went away but that did not mean that you could not heal from it so this had been good for him as he listened. "That certainly has to help to fit in more than every other place that they might have been and plus these burgers," he said taking a pause on his bites. "If they have not had one they need a small taste." Sophie Chang

“The island is multinational and so are the children living in the group home. I could also bring some of them here as an outing” Sophie replied. It was also multicultural and a big part of its population also had being oddities in common. “We can live in peace with humans as well if they are willing to do so with the oddities in their nations as equals” she added and that was her viewpoint.

He had seen good things but he had also seen bad things which he knew as he got older which would eventually lead to lines being drawn because that was life. "Have to play it out and have fun where we can," he said but there was a little doubt in his voice. "The outing seems like a good idea." Sophie Chang

Sophie had a hopeful vision of the future. Also a clear one about what needed to be done not just here and now but also in the world outside here. Could it be a future reality? Time would tell. “That is true. Also we need to make the best of right now as well. There’s recent arrivals who could benefit from a field trip or two but what we are planning for Halloween will be a good start” she replied. She never sounded doubtful about anything especially if there was evidence to back it up. Jace Maddox

"I agree and I will check in every two or three days just casually with the others to see how they are doing too, no man left behind as they say." This food was to die for though at least it tasted that way. Sophie Chang

Sophie smiled a little hearing what Jace had to say. It was just like they’d do in the gang and with Carmen and Sawyer. With a possible few things to plan and figure out it wouldn’t hurt to start now. “So after we finish this delightful burger we do need to find DVD’s suitable for a movie night and figure out what to get in for trick and treating” she suggested. Little Halloween buckets would be a good start and they might even make costumes out of old or unusable clothes. It would be one less thing to have to buy.
