Keykey's POV

As Lock and Caleb slept, I waited for Ivy to come home.
She was out well after dark, I don't know if she has a cerfue or not. When she shows up again she asks where her dad is.
"His bedroom. Lock's with him too." I say
"Ew."
"Ivy not like that god, How old are you again?"
"7."
"Jeez, why do you know that? When I was seven I didn't even know humans existed!" I exclaim
"Huh." She says siting next to me.
"Anyway theyre sleeping."
"Together-"
"IVY!"
I stare at her,
She stared back.
We laugh,
"Why do you know that stuff!?" I say through my laughter.
"I don't know!"

"Keep it down!" Lock yells
"Sleeping beauty has awoken!" I say to Ivy, getting up and walking to Caleb's room.
"Ivy is home. Also she knows more stuff than I did when I was 7!" I say popping my head into the room

"Mmm.. okay.." was Caleb's response,
"Papa, can you please get up and make dinner? My friend's mom doesn't make dinner until like 10." Ivy says to Caleb, shaking him.

"Mmm... okay I'll get up.."
Caleb says rubbing his eyes,
"Thank you!!" Ivy exclaims happily, walking into the kitchen.
"So what were you saying about Ivy knowing something you didn't know when you were her age..?" Caleb asks, looking at me, still lying in bed.
"She knew what two people that are partners do in bed together."
Lock sits up instantly, "What the hell." He says confused.
"She knows What?!" Caleb exclaims, somewhat angrily.

Caleb gets up, pushing lock off of him. And rushing into the kitchen after Ivy.

"Ivy where the heck did you learn that stuff!?" I hear him yell
"My friends told me!" 
"They're going to be getting a talking to from me tomorrow."
"Ok papa." Ivy says.

I hear clattering from the kitchen, followed by Caleb cursing.

"OH THATS A BAD WORD!!" Ivy exclaims, running into the room and jumping into the bed.

"Lock! My papa hurt himself."
She says, shaking Lock.
"What did he do?"
"He dropped a pot on his foot and cursed!"
"Your dad is a dumb one sometimes. But he's my friend, and I love him."
"Eww, cooties." Ivy says
"What?" Lock asks, confused"
"You lOooVe him. And that's gross."

I laugh.
"Ivy, they've been sleeping together for the past few days." I say
"Ew."
"..."
"EWWWWW" She says looking at Lock, terror in her eyes.

"Oh key now you've done it!" He says, glaring at me.

"Hehehe, sorry-"

Caleb walks into the room,
"Food is ready." He says hopping back to the kitchen.

Lock follows him into the kitchen.

"C'mon Ivy lets go." I say, walking to the kitchen.

I see Caleb and lock sitting at the table, Caleb's foot on Lock's lap. Lock, who's holding an ice bag, is trying to get Caleb to be still.
"It May be cold but it'll make you feel better." Lock says staring at Caleb who is refusing to let Lock help.
"Don't make Lock mad. He's scary when he gets mad." I say to Caleb, sitting down next to Ivy.
"Last time he was mad at me he slapped me."
"I did." Lock says with a proud look on his face.
"My foot it fine" Caleb says, starting to eat.

"Oh! I just remembered something!" Ivy exclaims
"What is it Ivy?" Caleb asks
"You know that dance that happens every year?"
"Yeah..?"
"It's happening this weekend!" Ivy says happily
"Do you want to go?" Caleb asks
"Yeah! It would be fun!"
"Okay. You can go.."
"Papa I want all of us to go!"
"Hm I don't know if we all can Ivy. We have to have nice clothes and not all of us have that."
"Aw.."
"Don't worry we'll find something!" I say to Ivy, making her grin.
"Really?!"
"Yep!"
"Yay!"
"Key, where are we going to find the money for all that?" Caleb asks
"Follow me." I say getting up and walking out the door.
"Key if you're doing what I think you're doing I'm going to be up set." Lock says
"Caleb can we use the machine?" She asks
"I guess so?"
"Okay!"

Lock's POV

As we walk to the docks I feel a sinking feeling in my chest.
She's going to find Naia.
"Keykey. Remember what Naia said about the machine?" I ask
"Mhm. She said 'if I ever see that machine again I'm going to destroy it like it destroyed my cave'"

Caleb stops dead in his tracks.

"What?!" He exclaims
"Naia is a very vengeful person but she's out anger issue sister and we love her." Key says smiling.
"SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO DESTROY IT."
"Yeah so?"
"ITS EXPENSIVE"
"Ok."
"Caleb keykey is getting you enough gold to buy us clothes"
"Lock that's not the point! This is serious. If the machine is destroyed I lose my job!"
"Don't worry." I say to him, grabbing his hand

He frowns.
"Okay.."
"Ew. Cooties" Ivy says following us.
"Enough with the CoOtiEs" I say frustratedly.
"She's Fine."

As we get into the machine to find Naia, I can tell Caleb is scared.
"It'll be fine. Don't worry..."
"Okay.."
