The Secret Life of a Coterie

Gwen got back in after all that and buckled up.

(I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving tomorrow.)
 
Mystique pushed the cart to the toy area and parked.
"Gwen, get out and find your doll and clothes. Plus anything else you want. Even a piano if you want a small one."
 
Gwen got the doll, small piano, and nice doll clothes. After that, she got lots of notebooks with blue ink pens just in case she wants to be an author.
 
The phone rang and Mystique answered.
"Yes, but a small complication showed up." Mystique spoke as she placed several coloring books, crayons, markers and a sketch book in the cart.
"Want the keys? We are in the toy department. ....... Ok."
She hung up and went to the story books aisle for a few books.

"Any stuff animals before we go?" Mystique asked when she came back. She just wanted to get a few more items in the toy aisle as surprises.
 
"Wonderful! Now to the last stop and we shall be able to check out." Mystique spoke as she drove to get a couple Ipads then checked everything out.
A man walked over and spoke softly to Mystique.
"Miss Mystique, I need the keys, please."
Mystique quietly gave him the rental keys.

As soon as Mystique was done paying in cash, she hurried out to the rental truck which was being loaded into a larger vehicle. She waited and checked on Gwen.
 
Once all of them were in the truck, Mystique asked the man
"Why are we changing plans?"

"Because some of your relatives are being greedy. In fact, I will be driving to where the bus is at. I'll drive you about a bit then If no one is seen, you are on your own. We should leave them behind within 3 days." he spoke quietly.

"I see. Will we be on the road long today?" Mystique spoke quietly.

"No, not long. I'll take care of moving the stuff to the bus and the two of you can put it away. We should be there in a couple hours." he responded.

"Wonderful. " Mystique spoke as she smiles at Gwen.
 
"A lot of things. I do need to get you registered as my child. Then we can be a family." Mystique spoke quietly as she took some paper work from the guy in the front seat.

She looked puzzled and looked at the man in front.
"You are Sean?" she asked.

"I was nominated and was asked to see you off on your own. I'll give you my number and I shall be your contact if you need help. If not, I'll leave you to do whatever you need to do. " Sean spoke quietly.

"Is this a legal birth certificate and all?" Mystique asked.

"Yes, but don't say anything to anyone. I'll put it in the brief case for now." he reaches back, and Mystique gave him the envelope.

"Gwen, it looks like you are my daughter. After we get settled in the bus, I will start teaching you some new things." Mystique spoke happily.
 
"It will be fun. I will home school you and teach you how to do a lot of things that will be fun." Mystique smiles as she looks out of the window.
 
"We have some time so let's try something. Do you know your numbers and alphabets?" Mystique smiles as she takes out a pen and a pad of paper.
 
"My goodness, you are advanced for most 5 year olds. Have you been able to form words? Have you done addition and subtraction? What about art and music?" Mystique asked. If her guess is correct, she could do something special for Gwen earlier than planned.
 
"Wonderful. Perhaps you would like to have a tablet with your own email address?"
Mystique spoke quietly as she looked in the bags for a tablet.
