'It's Spooktober, Gabe. Let's watch a scary movie.'
'Oh no, Pixie, last time we did that you were in such #terror that you slept in my bed for a week, wouldn't go to the bathroom alone, & tried to exorcise my mother.'
'She looked possessed!'
'...easy mistake to make.'

Whoops! 😂

With these 2 saving the world... brace yourself. 😂

Oops! Sorry. But I'll let the world burn before I hand over the brownies! 😂

'Gabe, this is Monty. I invited him for tea.'
'Hmmm... what is he, Pixie?'
'If I'm reading the waving right, he's a #Martian with a ray gun & plans for world domination. But he doesn't like the tea, so the invasion's off... hopefully.'
'Let's make more tea - just in case.'

'You can't shock me anymore, Pixie. I've seen every prank you've ever pulled.'
'Ah, but it's the #unseen ones you really have to worry about, Gabe.'
'...what did you do?'
'Nothing... yet.'
#vss365

'Why are you always so grumpy in the morning, Gabe.'
'Because, Pixie, I live with a hyperactive ball of chaotic #energy who can't sit still for 5 seconds, thinks pranking is a full-time job, & once replaced my shampoo with glitter glue. I have to sleep with one eye open.'

'Pixie! I said no trolls with colds in the house. The place is slimed.'
'I didn't invite any, Gabe. Honest. It's... alien goo. They crashed their #saucer. I helped them blast off again.'
'Uh-huh. Of course. Funny how aliens leave size 12 troll-prints. In the goo.'

She’s off to the shop to buy some as we speak. 😆

I know. I'm speechless! 🤭

Squirrel war! 😆

😂😂😂😂

Every #atom of my body vibrates in horror. Gabe's wings twitch - he feels it too. I open my mouth but his glare silences me.
His mother lifts the packet... pours it into the mixture.
I bite my lip to stop a scream. He shudders.
How could she? Nuts. In the brownies!
#vss365

'The brownies are all gone, Pixie. How did you eat them already?'
'I have a very high metabolism, Gabe. Do you know how many calories it takes just to #hover long enough to grab the tub from your secret hiding spot?'
He shakes the container. 'I'm guessing... this many.'

😆 Tough, but someone's got to do it!

'Couldn't we get a Roomba to do the vacuuming, Gabe?'
'Stop trying to get out of your chores, Pixie.'
'If we got an #android it could do your chores too.'
'And what would you be doing, Pixie?'
'Supervision. Tell Alexa to tell the android to tell the Roomba to hurry up.'
#vss365

'Gosh, it's hot & #arid today, Gabe. You'd better lather up with suntan lotion if you're staying out. Here you go.'
'Thanks, Pixie. That's unusually helpful. Though this stuff doesn't spread very well. And it's... STICKY!'
Giggle. 'Did I mix up the lotion with the glue?'
#vss365

The #unearthly scream cuts the air, rattling the windows & scaring birds from their roosts.
Pixie gives Gabe a toothy grin. 'Sounds like the pet human finally made a book sale this month.'

Go on... buy a copy. Join Pix & Gabe on their big adventures!

Honeyed beetles are a light warm up snack for the main meal. Brownies of course! 😂

'Ah, Boris, how you've grown. To think, under my care you've thrived from a little speck to this magnificence. You probably consider us friends, but I'm afraid the time has come. A bit of honey &... munch.'
'Pixie... that was a #beetle.'
'I know, Gabe. Yummy.'
#vss365

'Yum, Gabe. I love these super #deluxe chocolate brownies that you bought from the shop. So much better than those dry, crumbly things you cook.'
'Those "things" you polished off in 1 sitting without complaint, Pixie?''
'Well... only so you'd go to the shop for the deluxe ones.'
#vss365

'You're right, Gabe, it is hilarious, but you're not laughing. In fact, I sense a distinct #undertone of spice.'
'I can't imagine, Pixie, why I wouldn't be amused with the moustache & glasses you drew on me while I slept. Using...'
'Ahhhh. Permanent marker. My bad, Gabe.'
#vss365

😆😆🙏

😀 Thank you!

'Pixie! My mother found a #piranha in the bath & says she's not staying unless you remove it.'
'...'
'Ahhh...'
'...'
'Good one, Pixie.'
#vss365

I snug my #raincoat closer, sou'wester low, toes snug in galoshes.
Gabe wrings out his wings.
'Bit underdressed, Gabe?'
'I don't expect a fountain in my sitting room, Pixie!'
'Ah, that was the water sprite I invited for tea. She took "make yourself at home" literally.'
