Chapter 5.

Now properly dressed, you waited at the bus stop. You felt warm wearing your jacket and tights. The bus arrived and you entered the bus and took a seat. No one paid you any mind. You were excited to be getting the toy, it was all you could think about. You wished the bus would drive faster, but it had to make many stops. At the appropriate stop, you got off the bus and ran quickly to the entrance of the store. Then you slowed to a fast walk once inside. You went straight to the toy department. You knew exactly which toy you wanted. There was another toy that you saw that you liked, but you were here a specific toy you saw in a commercial. In the end, you selected both toys. You didn't care. You had the money. As you walked back to the cashier, you passed the girl's department. You spotted the cutest shirt with a cow and a lamb on it. You decided you had to have it. You found it in your size. But you weren't finished with your shopping. You looked for other apparel you liked. You put the clothes one by one into your shopping cart. They were so cute. You had to have them all. You noticed two girls with a woman. The woman must have been the mother of one of the girls who were shopping too. You wanted to start up a conversation with one of the girls, but you didn't think you should. You were so much older than the girls, they had to be only five years old. You wished you had a friend like that, and suddenly you did. Margaret (Maggie) was your best friend. All your friends were little girls it seemed. You were here with Maggie and her mother. "Jason stay with us!" Maggie's mother called.

"OK, you replied." as you walked over. (The other girl wandered away, but you didn't notice. She was a stranger to you.) "Jason, want to spend the night? Mommy says it's OK," Maggie asks you.

After a few more minutes of shopping, it was time to leave the store. Maggie's mommy paid for her stuff, and you paid for yours. You accompanied Maggie to her mother's car. Your stuff was put in the trunk and then you and Maggie sat in the rear seats of the car. Maggie's mother drove you to their house. Most of your stuff stayed in their car, but you did take out the toy you went to the mall for. It was set up in Maggie's living room. You and Maggie played with the toy. 

Later, Maggie's eight-year-old sister Rebekah joined you. A bit of imagination by the three of you and the toy was turned into a game with rules. Everyone enjoyed playing. During the play, Maggie's mother called your mommy and told her that you would be spending the night. Your mother didn't have any objections. Dinner at Maggie's was nuggets and tater tots with juice. You enjoyed your dinner, especially since you were having it with your best friend. None of Maggie's or Rebekah's apparel fit you, so you had to wear a pair of Maggie's mother's pajamas to bed. Rebekah gave up her bed for you. Rebekah and Maggie slept together. "Your mommy will be here at noon to pick you up," Maggie's mother told you. But you didn't want to leave. “I wish I could live here forever with Maggie,” you thought. Without realizing it, you became Maggie's sibling and Rebekah joined your former family. You were the happiest boy alive. Your best friend was also your sister. What else could be better?
