Daisy "So I'll just make sure that all the amenities are up to scratch then I'll be on my way"
Chase "But there is heaps of other questions I want to ask you, can't you hang around for just a little while?"
Daisy "Sure young cub! What other questions do you have for me today?"
Chase "How old are you?"
Daisy "Well.. I would say that I am much older than you, but much younger than your Mum"
Chase "So it's not like you are just about to become an elder or anything right?"
Daisy "Um.. no. *Trying to hide her laugher*"
Chase "So you could like be my friend and it wouldn't be weird? That's right.. right?"
Daisy "I would love to"
Daisy "Come on, tell me more about these clouds you love so much"
Chase "Yeah, great idea! That's why we are going to be good friends, I know it!"
So you guys having fun? Getting some fish that you haven't caught before?Got a cow plant seed
Johnny "Nothing.. not a darn thing"
Don "Just trying to read up on the bait for some of these.. they are actually quiet difficult to catch!"
Got one!
Come on Johnny, want to play horseshoes with me?
Johnny "Oh Thank God... yes..!"
So how do you like camping? I know that we aren't actually roughing it in tents or anything, but the outdoors is kind of nice don't you think?
Johnny "It's not bad.. but these darn bugs are everywhere! Can't you do something Watcher?"
It's called the bush for a reason Johnny.. *rolls eyes* There are lots of bugs everywhere here, part of the charmJohnny "Well I don't like it"
You know, he does have a point Watcher. These things are very intrusive
I know. It's just none of you have the herbalism skill, so you can't have insect repellent yet.. SorryJohnny "See! They are everywhere"
Come on, let's go inside
So how was your day Son? Did you meet some new friends?
Chase "I did Mum. There is this nice ranger lady called Daisy. We got to be good friends really quickly"
That's nice honey, but what about kids your own age? Did you manage to make friends with any of those?
Chase "There aren't any here Mum.. just gown ups like you guys"
oh
So you must be pretty bored then huh?
Chase "Not really, I don't mind hanging around. It beats doing homework and I do like being here Mum, especially watching Uncle Johnny fight with the bugs all the time, that's funny"
Well lets see if I can beat you at cards and therefore make your old Mum feel smart
Chase "Not going to happen"
Daisy "Your son is a really nice young man, we don't often get such smart and funny boys around here"
Don "Wow! Thank you .. um.. strange Ranger Lady"
Chase "Mum, I think I might like to max my violin skill first. Do you think you might be able to mentor me?"
Really? I honestly thought that you would want to be an astronaut considering how much you love looking at the clouds and stuff
Chase "I do find it fascinating and stuff, but it's more about how they make me feel.. you know?"
Enough said. Let's get to it
Not great*whispering* But he seems to think so..
Ready to go home Scamp?Chase "Yeah I guess.. I really wanted to make some more friends over my weekend.."
How about I take you guys and some of Johnny's kids to the park as soon as we get back?Chase "Really?"
Yeah, your Mum has to go to work anyway, so why not make it a boys afternoon?Chase "Yay!!"
Whoah... *shudder*Johnny "This is a dream right? A bad dream? If I start laughing now, I'm sure to wake up.. right??"
Don "ha ha ha ha *clutching stomach*"
Chase "These are just
some of his kids?"
Chase "Is she looking at me? I can't tell.. one eye is looking one way, and the other is pointed my way"
Don't stareChase "I can't seem to stop"
Hey! Where did you sneak off too.. Oi!! Are you trying to kill yourself??Johnny "Yes"
