317 The Watcher Watches: Laz's House ~~ Being a Ghost ~~
Alice & Branch are disappointed that Branch being a ghost via a potion, didn't trigger Alice's LTW. But that doesn't stop them from trying to take advantage of their new ghostly states of being!
Giggling, with amusement on their minds, they head off to the big park to see how people will react to them!

They don't notice that the workbench suddenly has a new type of gnome on it. The gnome looks over to the broken robot, and sizes him up. "Hmm clever Robotses, always hungry, all he getses is the scrapses...they doesn't taste very nice, does they, my Treasure?"

Branch sees Belinda & Danny's daughter Bébé, playing happily by herself with the doll house. Maybe she will be scared of a ghost!

Alice has high hopes to scare Max's boy, Ziggy.
"Hey kid, Boo!" she says in her ghostly voice.

"Hello Mam." says observant Ziggy. 'My, You look in need some help. My Dad told me all about transparent type personalities. Perhaps you wish some psychiatric help? It only costs a $5!"

"Oh. ... Well ok, if you think you can help." says Alice, taking a seat.
"It all started when I came to this time, I'm from the past , you know...." Alice begins.
"Mm-hm, do go on..." murmurs Ziggy, in his most professional tone.

"So, if these other 'loopholes' don't work, I think Branch is just going to have to die, so I can get my money and LTW!" ends Alice. "He Promised, you know."
"Just a minute Mam, I see a major problem in your plan. If you deliberately kill him, you will end up being a prisoner for life, Plus, that is such Bad Karma! I think you should speak with my Dad for an alternate solution." advises Ziggy.

Alice thanks the little kid, and says she has no intension of actually murdering anyone.
She leaves and they both seem happy and satisfied with their talk.

Ziggy checks to see if Alice paid him the $5.

"Ohnooo! She ripped me off!" thinks Ziggy. "No Fair! I'm telling My Dad!"

Bébé wasn't scared at all of Branch, when he said "Boo!". He was disappointed, so asked her to tell him a ghost story, hoping she would make the connection ghost=ghost!
Then he had the nerve to leave as soon as she began to tell her ghostly story!
"What on earth? How rude! He must be a weirdo, Just the like weird and unpleasant characters in my book!" she thinks.

Both little kids come to the conclusion that weirdos can come out in the dark, and might like to frequent parks and playgrounds! Ack!
Bébé runs home to tell her Daddy all about it!

"Any luck scaring anyone, like a ghost should be able to?" asks Branch.
"No, the whole time here was utterly disappointing!" says Alice.
"Same here.'' says Branch. "I guess the only thing left to do is make out before the potion wears off...It Will wear off, right?"
"I have no idea." says Alice.
https://i.imgur.com/Lq7vUCJ.jpg
"Well...It's not like we can do anything about that now." thinks Branch, and gets ready to try the ghostly makeout, he'd wondered about.

Branch decides he's hungry, and heads home to eat yummy cookies.
He just abandons Alice, while she is still in the bathroom! lol ?

Alice emerges, once again looking human. She takes this opportunity to try to fulfill her wish to have a date with Magnus.
Magnus says he is happy to date her.
Alice tries a little soccer, waiting for him, thinking about their date, and hoping it will be a nice one!
Magnus is very prompt, showing up right away.

"Hi Alice!"
"Hi there!" she says, very glad to see him again. I can tell by her thoughts and wishes that she thinks he is very date worthy, attractive and she is highly attracted to him. They chit chat and get to know one another better, talking for hours.

Alice tries a flirt "You're really handsome, Magnus." and he responds positively to her flirt.
Magnus lets escape a little laugh, surprised and delighted when she tries to kiss him.
He is definitely not used to this town!

But, when in Rome....
https://i.imgur.com/ZtGcHC9.jpg
"Wowza!" thinks Magnus "But wait a second Alice, aren't you married? We shouldn't..."
"It's not a real marriage. It's just a LTW marriage, those don't count. Our vows don't say anything about exclusivity." she says.
"Huh? I don't think I've ever heard of that before." thinks Magnus, but only for a moment because Alice resumes kissing him, and it's pretty nice. And being kissed by Alice isn't very conducive to thinking logically at all!

"Will you be my girl, then? Since your marriage isn't really real?" asks Magnus. He doesn't know how things work in this crazy town.
"Well I would love to, but until I get my LTW fulfilled, I can only be with the Rich, unfortunately. Are you rich, Magnus?"
https://i.imgur.com/Yd9WUfn.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/VIXoYZ4.jpg
"Hm. That's an awfully unusual prerequisite!" thinks Magnus, and answers "Well, I have $250K saved so far, is that enough?"
"Yes. I think so, it should certainly do!" says Alice.
"Oh Good!" Magnus sighs a breath of relief, he is really into this cute very demonstrative girl!
https://i.imgur.com/mNiOaQF.jpg
"Want to come over to see my house?" asks Alice
"Oh heck yeah!"
Poor Magnus has to ride in the trunk because there are no other seats up front with her. It is a tight squeeze for such a big muscly guy.

"Hm, I'd really like to marry this guy!" thinks Alice, as Magnus looks around her place.
"It's getting late, and I'm getting sleepy, will you sleep over with me?" she asks.
"Sure!" says Magnus, he is sleepy too....plus, well, you never know....
https://i.imgur.com/J443cLL.jpg

"Come, I'll show you my room."
"Ok!"
https://i.imgur.com/szHxNXJ.jpg
Magnus finds the room cozy and inviting. But now that he's in here, he can't help but worry that 'the husband' might barge in, angrily!
"Don't worry Magnus, no one will mind." says Alice.

Magnus is still a bit unsure, but now he's sleepy, and the bed looks so very comfortable...

And Alice is so pretty and full of tempting promises and invitations...Hard to say no.

Not one person in the household even minded!
Magnus dreams that night of making more money and pretty pretty Alice.

Branch had not minded in the least! He had been happily cleaning the dirty stinky plates in the kitchen.
He heads to his bed, to sleep with his favorite vampire!
