Rabbit Hole Carnival: Long Week.

“You can’t sleep either, huh? Renee said as she walked down the stairs

“Didn’t mean to wake you.” Nick replied.

“You didn't, don’t worry about it” Renee said. “It's been tough lately, and we need to look after ourselves too.”

“Very true.” Nick said. “Well perhaps you like to help make a new drink? I was thinking it’s name is Black Sheep? ”

Renee took a swig, and tasted it. “ I’m thinking its name is Gift, personally and it could use a bit more green apples, and… maybe grapes?”

“If you're going to use your gift, then we're using mine too. So let me hear it then, all of it.” Nick replied.

“It reminds me of when I first stumbled in here and slammed on your door, and the time you were around when you were around to help me make my Shocking Apple.” Renee said. “Also when you made Five Hunters. And when you brought Ray in here, despite knowing I would hate it when you do.”

“I… I’ll be right back.” Nick said, and made a new drink. “That should be about right.”

Renee took another swig, and then chug it down. “It’s perfect, daddy.”

“Well what's its name now then?” Nick asked.

“Well if you were thinking Black Sheep, and I was thinking Gift.” Renee said. “And it uses both our gifts, and then Black Sheep’s Gift sounds about right.”

“Sounds like something a certain daughter will be writing on the menu.” Nick said.

“Yeah I think so too.” Renee replied.

The door opened, and the bell rang “Welcome to the Rabbit Hole Carnival. What drinks will be your festivals?” Renee said.

“The two brothers were quiet as they looked over the menu. “The Black Sheep?” One as the other.
“The Black Sheep.” The other replied.

“Long week for you two too then.” Renee said. “Be right back.” She walked back into their kitchen and came back out with two drinks. “Two Black Sheeps.”

“Do manage this place your—”

“Names, you two? And no, I run this place with Daddy.” Renee replied. “The name is Renee. Renee Shem.”

“Larry, and Zack.” Larry replied. “How did you two make this menu? It seems very unique.”
“Well it’s about half and half now.” Renee said. “I suspect I might be a little bit behind right, given recent events, but me and daddy craft them up as the ideas come. So that is why the Menu is so unique.”

“I see.” Zack said. “Well this one is very tasty.”

“It should be.” Nick replied. “She did help make it after all.””Still your idea though mostly” Renee replied.

“And it's still your name.” Nick said. “And you the one who said to add green apples.”

“A very good idea.” Larry said. “You were right, it has been a long week, but we have each other.”

“May we take two for the road.” Zack asked. “We like the name,but we should be going.”

“I know the feeling, so sure. Daddy will make you a few.” Renee replied.

“And if you doubt our ability to keep you safe. I have kept this niece of mine safe for quite a few years now.”
