Dateline: Travis played a rotten trick on Takeru
but the blond haired boy saw though his plan.
"I'll be out for a little while mommy." said
Grace. "All right." said Megan. Then Grace walked out the door. Her backpack
was full of the essentials. She even had her pikaball. Grace was going
out into the woods for a nature walk. She stopped at the nearest ice cream
stand to buy an ice cream pop. Grace bought a vanilla tasting angel ice
cream pop with the five dollars in yen that was in her pocket. "Yum." said
Grace as she ate her ice pop. Then she threw the stick and the wrapper
away in the nearest trash can. Then she sat down on a rock near the entrance
of the woods and took off her backpack. Grace took out her notebook and
began writing in it. "I just had my snack at the moment and now I'm
taking a short break." Grace wrote. Then she put her notebook up
and took out her tape recorder. She rested for five minutes and began
her walk again.

Grace looked around the whole inter woods. It seemed
nice and peaceful to her. Then she saw a bunch of bluebells and walked
over there to smell them. "I'll pick these for mommy." she thought.
Then she around looking for more flowers. She picked goldenrods, buttercups,
honeysuckles, and foxgloves until her arms were full. Then Grace heard
a light curbing sound. She looked up into the sky and saw a blue jay. She
quickly got out her tape recorder and recorded the sound. Then a tiger
swallowtail butterfly landed on the tip of her nose. "Oh hello there."
she said to it. "Could you kindly get off my nose? Please?" The butterfly
just sat there. "I would really love it if you got off my nose, please."
she continued. Finally after ten minutes of pleading with the butterfly
to get off of her nose, the tiger swallowtail flew away. "Finally."
she thought. Then she sat down on the ground and took off her backpack.
Grace took out her notebook and began writing in it. "I picked a
lot of flowers and a butterfly landed on my nose. I had to plead for it
to get off. Then it flew away." Grace wrote. Then she put her notebook
up and got up off the ground. She saw a lot of birds, flowers, and bugs
on this walk. She continued with her walk until it started to get dark.
Then she headed home.

When she walked up to the door, she started to sense
something coming. "Hello Gracey!" said Megan. "Hello mommy. I've bought
some flowers." she said as she handed them to her mother. "I sense an
evil force coming." Grace thought. "Gracey?" asked Megan. "Huh? What?"
said Grace as she looked up at her mother. "Are you feeling okay?" she
asked. "Yes mommy." said Grace. Then walked back to her room. Megan knew
what her daughter was thinking.
