The Watcher Watches

329 The Watcher Watches: Rainflower's House ~~ Gold Statue ~~





After all that wonderful kissing with Mara, Peanut comes back to try to make more Gold! Peanut thinks turning objects into gold is really fun! He has scoured the house, so has many items to try now!
But darn, so many many items just *POOF* to nothingness. Just his bad luck I suppose.
Peanut is only dismayed for a moment, "Unlucky in gold, Lucky in Love!" He thinks it's worth it!

''Oh, well, I must carry on! Because sometimes it does work!'' Peanut thinks, optimistically.
He tries and tries again and again. His music box. And the crayons he had as a toddler.

Klaatu comes to see what he's doing. "See Klaatu, We can turn objects into Gold! You can try it too! It's Fun!" says Peanut.
"Gold is Fun. .?. Affirmative Peanut." says Klaatu.
Then she notices the objects disappearance. "No Gold = Not Fun." she notes, by the look on Peanuts face.

Peanut is just about ready for a break. He wants to go see Mara, just in case she wants to kiss him again.
His old teddy bear is the last object in his back pack.
Uh-Oh, what's that glowing? ?

Klaatu comes in and is Horrified to see Peanut turned into a gold statue!
YIKES! I hear Grimmy's scary deep voice!

Grimmy commences doing his soul reaping incantations, but I can't see Peanut's Ghost or body anywhere?
Grimmy can see him though.
Poor Mara!

Maybe Peanut's ghost was trapped in the statue? Peanut's golden soul whooshes over to Grimmy.

Golden Ghostly Peanut slowly gets up. Mara and Klaatu are frozen in shock.

Grimmy points to Peanut and says something that sounds amusing, in his deep scary voice. Then he laughs affectionately.

"Peanut your misfortune amuses me, and some of those that know you. It would be a shame to take that priceless entertainment away from them. I'll take you some other day, my lad!" says Grimmy.
"Huh? Well, Thank you Mr. Grimmy, sir." says Peanut, and bows his head.
"Naaaagaaahhlooosh!" Grimmy commands, securing Peanut's soul, his essence back to his earthly body!

Peanut slowly realizes he is corporal once again! He looks upon Grimmy in amazement and gratitude.
But Annalove doesn't quite understand and is still mourning her son.

Peanut watches Grimmy's smoke sink into the floor boards, and disappear! He is Very happy he is Gone, even though he likes him now!
Then Peanut rushes to his Mom.
''It's OK, Mom, I'm Alive!"

Mara comes over and has to grab him to make sure he's really back! She is so happy and relieved!

Peanut's Golden statue is worth 50K! That will get Peanut and Mara very close to their LTW goal!
Klaatu does Not think that is worth all the shock and grief!

Klaatu makes a connection. "Analyze: "Gold = Fun" *whirr* ''Vance. Rainflower. Annalove. And Mara enjoy 'Fun'.''
*whirr* *Pop* *!!!*
Klaatu remembers something Branch had told her. ''Flowers 4 Grim.''

She walks over to her and Vance's garden and begins to harvest.
"What are you doing, Klaatu, my sweet?" asks Vance.
"Flowers 4 Grim. Vance. Flowers for Family." says Klaatu.
