Ain't nothin' like it, shinin' machine Got the feel for the way to keep her movin' parts clean Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue Model citizen, with zero discipline ^Like that, but rolling city streets at night. Word.Chloë whipped her ride down the road like a person interested in having fun, but not knowing where to look for it. She could barely see over the dashboard and her hands on the wheel looked like a baby deer trying to roll an extra large hula hoop. Babette was in the passenger seat and Ru was uncomfortably alone in the back. Ellen had told them to get a new cellphone for Babette, that Demetri probably already had one for Ru, and that they had three options for killing time that night.
One, Demetri was doing martial arts lessons in one of his office buildings. Two, it might not be too late to go visit the headshrinker Vitus had arranged. Three, doowutchyalike. Chloë would talk about nothing but swimming. Chloë- "I'm so glad to be with you guys tonight, oh my goodness. But I got, like, swimming on the brain. It's just, I haven't really done it since... and the other day you guys got to swim but I was too tired... but I don't know where to go. Mr. Marchese might go back to the estate... Ooh, maybe a cool hotel with a pool."

"Well, since at least one of us is royalty now, let's go to a swanky hotel that puts mints and loofahs on the pool chairs." Chloë- "Lady Babette, or, whatever a lord's daughter is, huh?"
She twisted in the seat and peered owlishly at Ru."So that was special. Whatcha feel like, Darling? We can practice our synchronized floating."

Ru- Ru climbed aboard the Chloemobile and sat alone in the back. "Are you sure you don't want to learn martial arts? I think you might benefit from it." He offered Chloe, before settling into a crouch in the back. The excitement of being accepted as Gaston Louis' spawn had settled down onto the bottom of his stomach, and had been replaced with dread. How long could they evade their masters? And what had he done for Babette? For all his talk, a lot of nothing. He'd spoiled her chances at escaping her master Chloë- "Uh, I don't think so. It's too scary, all the punching and shouting."
He seemed not-terrible enthusiastic about much of anything, but it might be nice to get started on the road to cool school. Ru half-closed his eyes, and sighed,
"Babette. I... should have just let you leave with him... I'm just spoiling your chances of avoiding...well..."
He looked around as if expecting invisible bad guys staring at them from afar, listening in.
"I just... Nevermind. "

Ru- "...Uh... we can go swimming... That's ok with me... " Ru didn't have a bathing suit. He wasn't super into martial arts, but maybe making Demetri happy would be reward enough if he chose to do it. "Uh, Babette, I... I know you were trying to get away from him... again, just for the night. And I spoiled it. "

"Get away from who ... oh! Do you mean Lord Aubrey? Well, he isn't sitting in this car, so mission accomplished." She glanced out the window and under her seat with a small measure of suspicion."It isn't all bad. Aside from the murder, erratic behavior, and confusing philosophical questions, he's rather fun. You shouldn't worry about me. Now how does that sound?"

Ru- "You are good at putting up a brave face.. I dunno, Babette..' "I just have the feeling that this will be over soon. Our protection isn't going to last forever. Dragomir is going to get me, the Marchese is going to get me... And..."
Ru doesn't finish the sentence, but it probably has to do with her.
"I know I am just being a pessimist, but, for a little while, I wondered if this wouldn't be half bad, but it will be, I know it..." At this point, Chloë seemed to want out of the conversation, and turned up the radio. She sang along quietly. Chloë- "♪ On fire we dance, boo, look at you, look at me too... ♫"

Ru- "You don't need to protect me, I'm worried about you. I have no plan, but I have some ideas. I think Gaston-Louis will help indirectly, and Demetri will help me the other way. He can't do everything, but he has a lot." He sighs again and shakes his head. "What is your plan exactly?"

"Demon boyfriend." She looked at Ru with an eager, proud sort of expression."He can ferry us to the Chamber of Froog. I'll attract all sorts of demons - supernatural and otherwise - as a lauded movie siren, of course."

Ru- "I don't think that's going to work, Babette... What may work is becoming friends with one of the more powerful vampires that aren't progenitors? It seems safer. The progenitors themselves are scary besides Wilhelm...he...likes his pornography but he hasn't been...scary has he Chloe?" Chloë- "Huh? Well he's a vampire... Not as scary as like, that priest or Mr. Aubrey. No offense Babette."

Ru- "That's what he wants us, or maybe you, to do..." Ru sighs. "I think we could all benefit from some Demetri, then maybe some swimming would be nice, and make us all clean." He still fretted about that bathingsuit...

Chloë- "I'll let you guys decide. *sigh* I guess I already went swimming twice last week... that other stuff's more important. I don't know if I'll do any of it myself but I'll take you there. When I was alive my dad made us all go to therapy but my mum said it was really for him because he had a midlife crisis. It was okay."
