Longshot, Alison, and Miyuki managed to get the apartment packed and ready to move in a few hours. It was easy to move fast when Longshot's excitement pushed him into going faster. Though Alison did not let him pack anything breakable. The only hitch came when the little pygmy marmoset got loose and Longshot chased it all over the apartment. He had been under the bed with his hands finally firmly around the little simian when Rogue, Dakota, and the kids showed up.
Dakota had a rubber mallet with him and taught Longshot and Alison how to disassemble their bed for moving. They also brought with them Dakota's truck for moving. So things were piled up and moved. Will and Rod tried to be impressive with helping to move heavy things. Miyuki didn't seem to notice their heavy lifting a bit. Gloria Jean was saddled with the most important job of keeping an eye on the pygmy marmoset.
The move went without any problems. Outside of Dakota getting caught grumbling about having to haul the mattress and box springs up to the fifth floor. Dakota was also the fortunate one to find the Nexus portal on the property. It was located between the gates, and he had not appreciated falling into it.
Longshot had also one more surprise for his wife at the castle. She might have thought it very odd he insisted the bed be on a certain side of the floor that was their bedroom. Until he took her down to the level below. He had requested that the husbands build a room just for Alison. A music room.
Now, Longshot was hauling in some furniture he borrowed from the clan in the hopes he got some New Years visitors. What Alison had at the apartment did not stretch out very far in a building that was much, much bigger. Miyuki was stabling the two horses that had dragged the big box of furniture back. Rogue was manhandling the box out of the way until Alison gave permission for it to go somewhere else. Dakota, Will, and Rod were coming down the stairs with Alison after getting the purification ceremony done for placement of the dream catcher.
Longshot's stomach rumbled that a cannoli would be good some time soon as he set up another chair.
