Alice was
late.
But you couldn't blame her, really. It's not like she was super excited to see her
fake boyfriend date, Theo. Yet the young girl had spent quite a bit of time dressing herself. She had set her heart on convincing Anya and Harvey and Ella that she really DID have a boyfriend. She didn't bother about Jake, though.. healreadyknew.
And so the young girl ran down the stairs, taking four at a time— who knew her little legs could move that fast?— and finally ended up at the Kitchen door. The little girl looked very spiffed up in her little skirt and her pretty flats..
almost as nice her new beau, who showed up in a sweater vest and khakis.
Alice tried her best not to laugh.
The little lioness beamed at Anya and Jake, winked at her Ellasaurus, and shot a
hostile questioning glance at Mr. Harvey Watson, the boy he tried to eat her frog at the last Feast. Or at least, that's how
she remembered it.
And then she turned to Theo, her false boyfriend with a very, very red face. Yeah. Exactly how was she supposed to greet
him? Uh..
HI BOYFRIEND! 'Sup, Cleodore? What's shakin', Theoman? Yeah. She wasn't exactly sure. So she just addressed everyone as a whole.
"HEY guys. Sorry I'm late." No need to specify a reason..
whistle. "Um.. so.. are we gonna.. make.. food now?"
Wasn't that the whole reason for this shebang?
