"Come down from there Lindsey" warned Karen her best friend
"In a sec" Lindsey replied as she stretched forth her arm grabbing a red Apple from the tree from the branch she stood
"Be careful" yelled Karen looking at her friend who was at the highest branch on the tree
"I am always careful" she yelled back at the top of the tree as she climbed down
"No you are not" scolded Karen with an eye roll " if not you won't risk your life climbing a tree just for one Apple"finished Karen as she angrily tapped her leg on the ground
"Its not just one Apple,its a red Apple" Lindsey stated as she jumped down from the last branch dusting her cloth, she was putting on a red short with a blue flannel shirt with 'Bad girl Good girl' written on it
"You think just because you're wearing a' bad girl good girl'shirt that makes you a bad girl" asked Karen making air quote
"You are just jealous you don't have a' bad girl good girl' shirt' " she muttered flaunting her shirt
"Oh please" scoffed Karen " we need to go ,your parents have been looking for you" yelled Karen dragging her best friend as they ran across the field
"They are always looking for me" Lindsey whispered with a pant and an eye roll as she ran beside her
"Be grateful you have caring parents" said Karen as she stood in front of a beautiful white cottage
"I am grateful" she replied also looking at the cottage she called home with a smile on her face
"Well you need to show them and at the same time tell them" said Karen as she looked at her best friend
"I will" Lindsey replied with a nod"come,wé need to get in before they come out" she said holding out her hand towards Karen
"Too late" replied Karen as she held on to Lindsey outstretched hand with both of them looking at the door where a middle age woman stood with a handsome yet broad man who had his hands wrapped around the woman
"Mom....Dad" Lindsey yelled as she ran towards her parents dragging Karen along
"Lindsey" they yelled happily with smiles on there face as they hugged their daughter
"Good day Mr and Mrs Amazon" greeted Karen as she bow towards them
"Oh Karen ..stop with the formalities" muttered Mrs Amazon as she pull Karen in for a hug" since you don't want to call me Mum,then call me Martha" she continued looking at Karen softly with a kind smile on her face
"No ma'am, I don't want to impose" replied Karen sadly
"You are not imposing"boomed Mr Amazon "and you can also just call me Derek" he continued quite grimly
"How do you expect her to call you Derek when you have a scary look on your face" muttered Martha to her Husband
"It's not a scary look" Derek retorted earning a glare from his wife
"Let's go inside i made casserole, you must be hungry" said Martha pushing the girls inside and walking in behind them.
