Oh she was too funny. Mikey let her get ahead of him so he could have a moment of that winning feeling before he put on a burst of speed. And just as he was overtaking her, he gave her hair a small tug, just to rub it in.
He got back to their fishing spot, a couple of seconds before she did and he grinned down at her. "Maybe you should have taken me up on the head start."
"Pshh. Being tall and looking older are two totally different things, and maturity counts for a lot baby lion-face!" Emma joked, giggling as she ran. And then she was ahead, the wind blowing at her face. Nothing was going to stop her now! Except, maybe boys with long legs and a
hankering for hair pulling.
Emma watched, her mouth wide as he quickly surpassed her.
"Hey! No fair! Hair pulling interference!" She chided him, panting for breath as she sat down on the dock.
"Nah, this just means we'll have to have a re-match some other day..." She grinned, taking her hair out of it's tight bun, smiling even wider as she watched it unfurl and cascade down her back. Oh yes. Hair freedom.
Now, it was time for some serious fishing.
"Ready, lion boy?"
