ZACK'S BACK

With Toby!

"Hello " Says Toby " Welcome to the Sasha Village, I'm Toby and this is my brother Zack "
 The new girl smiles " Nice to meet you Toby, Zack my names Mary "

"MARY! " gasps Zack
Toby gives Zack a look as if to say whats up with you?
" Hi Mary , my brother Zack says you have a really interest.. I mean nice bag that looks like a piece of carpet "
" Yes I do, it's over by my jacket "

Turning away Toby and Zack go over to look closely at the 'bag' , Zack had told Toby about how the girl.. Mary had pulled large objects from it! Toby just knew Zack as trying to pull his leg!

" There it is " whispers Zack pointing with a shaking finger at the bag.
" It's just a bag " says Toby not impressed at all " Mary seems quite dressy for one of our sisters "
" Never mind that " whispers Zack.. " That bag is magic! "

Toby stares harder at the bag, he wonders if it would be rude to ask if he could look inside ! Then he decides best not to in case she tells Mum who would be upset that he'd asked,  especially after the last time!  When he didn't ask and pulled Mr Grey the vicar's wig out of his case and Mrs grey fainted thinking it was a rat!

Mary looks between the boys shoulders trying to see why they are so interested in her bag?
Very odd behavour!

Finally the boys turn round to speak to Mary, Toby asks a few questions about her bag, had she had it long? Oh it was a family heirloom , where did she find it? Oh her Auntie P gave it to her when she was born and it was just like the one her Auntie P had but smaller!
Did it hold much? Oh Just a few bits and bobs...

 Was it Heavy ? No light as a feather !

Toby and Zack look back at the bag.. Toby so wants to ask to look inside! But he can bide his time, surely she'll not be with it all the time!

" Oh "says Mary " I just remembered something I need from my bag "

Zack pulls Toby to the other side of the room , Whispering he rushes to get the words out " She wearing a different dress! "
" What? "
" A different dress, she was wearing a browny beige ish shiny thing and now she's wearing flowers!"
Toby give Zack a searching look  "  Have you been drinking Dad's cider ? "
"NO" says Zack shocked , Toby looks like he does not believe him

Mary's looking at her bag trying to remember which section she put the gift in!
"Look! " says Zack " Look her dress is on the wooden thing! "
Now Toby's getting really worried, he does not like how odd Zack sounds, maybe he's got a fever!

" Ah! There it is " smiles Mary
Toby says softly to Zack " You are sure she pulled that big crib out that bag? "
"Yes!" trembles Zack looking a little sick

Toby turns towards the door " Come on Zack , let's go find Mum and get a nice cool drink and you can tell her about the imaginary things that come out of tiny bags!"
" I did not imagine it  ! I saw It... I think.... " Zack looks pale " I think I did ? I don't feel very well "
"Come on " says Toby moving quicker he does not want Zack being sick or he'll throw up!
Meanwhile Mary reaches into her bag " I so hope they'll like it "

A little tugging and puffing Mary pulls out a sweet little wooden rocking horse !

" It's for the Village bears, do you think they'll like it? " she turns her head to find she's all alone! Oh she wonders where the boys went .

Goodness , when is someone going to stay around long enough to show her a bed and introduce her to her new family?

She's never known such strange goings on!
