The Punishment (Anyone can join)

"I'm sorry Sweetie," said Mel, squeezing Cassia's shoulder. "It felt like you were bringing him for me to deal with. I guess I just misunderstood. I'm tired too. And as far as walking too fast goes, just be more careful next time. Now, shel we pay for the last of the things for Sarah and wait for Daddy?"

Hector looked up and followed the conversation between his Mommy and his Big Sister, Cassia, like someone watching a tennis match.

There were some words that he didn't care about and some that he DID. Like when Cassia said that she was going to deal with him......HIM = HECTOR.....at home. Those words the little boy did not like at all.

"I don't wanna be dealt with," Hector said, looking up at Cassia. "I don't gotta be dealt with," he said, trying to pull his hand away from his Sister's.

"Yeah, I am so ready to be done with the mall." She said with a grin. The teen looked down at her brother and frowned.

Cassia dropped down to her brother's level for the second time in that store. "Yes, Hector, you do." She said sternly. "I promised mommy I would be in charge of you and that involves punishment when you are naughty. You misbehaved and gave me a lot of bad attitude so you do need to be dealt with. Got it?"

At home Andy and Sarah had their fun. The cartoons were classic so they promised some laughing. Andy was glad to see the little girl relax and laugh, she just hoped that wouldn't change once their parents are back home. Sarah had told Andy a bit about herself, and Andy had to smile thinking that she was not much different from her little brother. She was sure the girl would find herself in some mischeif soon enough, once she is a bit more daring and when she finds some self consciousness, but that would come in time.

Andy already felt as if she had found another sister, and she was more than sure her family would love the girl soon enough. Once Sarah stopes being so afraid and relaxes around them it will look like she's part of the family and not just a guest. The girl had definitely a great fun with the show and once it was over Andy asked Sarah what she would like to play. It was a bit different as with Hector as Sarah was a little girl. Andy remembered what she and Cassia had played as kids, but she wasn't sure what at what age. "So, do you wanna play something?" she asked smiling at the girl

"I... do you have dolls?" Sarah asked blushing

"Hm, I guess I might find something" Andy said smiling "Wait here a bit, don't worry I'll be back in a minute" Andy said noting the worry on the girls face. She hugged her and went quickly into the basement. It took some time but she managed to find just the right box. She would have serched it right there in the basement but she didn't want to leave Sarah alone more than she had too.

"What is this?" Sarah asked looking at the box as Andy came back.

"That should be my old toys. We had no use for them as Hector is a boy, but I found it a pity to throw them away" she said putting the box down. She coughted a little at the dust and opened the box.

"Wow! You had all these?" Sarah asked eyeing the toys. There were some old dols, some puzzles and board games. Nothing special, but the girl seamed happy about it "can... can I realy play with these?" she asked looking at Andy uncertain

"Of course. I'm sure they will be happy to play with you than having to lay in the old box" Andy said and picked one of the dools, making it bow to Sarah and introduce herself.

Sarah had tears in her eyes as she looked at Andy but quickly wiped them with her sleeve and answered the doll. The girls proceded in their playing, actualy forgetting they were waiting for the rest of the family and their dinner. Andy found it was nice to play with Sarah, and while she loved Hector very deaply she somehow wished to have a little sister too.

(Hmmm. If you don't mind playing two roles, or if we can recruit someone else we may have to adopt her!)

Mel pulled out her credit card and payed for the last of the items for Sarah. "Cassia is right, Hector," she said as they left the store. "Now, id=f I understood you correctly, did you want to wait to do it until we got home?"

[dabillmann]

Meanwhile, daniel had arrived at the mall and gone inside. he saw Mel and the kids outsside a store. They appeared to be having a discussion. Everyone knows what that means!

[Bastet]

OOC: I don't mind playing two roles and I don't mind giving Sarah to someone else (depends to whom of course^_^)
Anyway Sarah wasn't planed, it was just a thought so I wanted to ask you guys if we keep her or do we let the social worker find any family (of course not too fast)

[dabillmann]

OOC: I'm perfectly to adopt, or at least foster her. Do you realise that you practically just said "Look what I found, Daddy. Can I keep her?"

[Bastet]

OOC: Maby, but you know what I mean

[dabillmann]

OOC: Yes, but I HAVE to tease you!
