Have finally been able to do this weeks event 😁 Thought I would miss the cutoff
Part I
Reese continued playing with Marshmallow and Sly. He also thought of returning back to Sylvan Glade, it was such a beautiful spot he thought. So, one morning while his mother went off to work, he skipped the morning school bus. With Marshmallow in tow, he ran to the special tree.
"You didn't get to come here the first time, but what do you think? Pretty, right?"
Reese played along with Sly, and occasionally asked him questions
"Sly, how's hibernation? Wait- do you hibernate? You're not a bear"
He spent lots of hours in there, he still had to get back home before his mom. He thought he was a lucky kid when the whole house was empty. Not realizing he had forgotten to grab Sly he played lasers with his pet raccoon.
He even made some cotton candy
"Why didn't you get on the bus today?" His sister Nora asked,
"I don't know what you're talking about. I got on the bus"
Though he couldn't help but brag of his adventure. "I went with Marshmallow and Sly to the big tree."
"Mom's gonna be angry when she finds out" Nora added
"She isn't going to find o-"
"REESE!" They heard their mother shouting down the hall
"Reese, why did the school call to tell me you were absent today?"
He didn't think she'd find out, "I don't know, it must be a mistake"
"Reese" Colette's voice was serious.
Serious enough that he spilled the beans. Colette was disappointed in him, she ended up punishing him with no tv time or toys for a week.
Punishment was a little new to them both, Colette didn't think much on it when she saw Reese playing by himself until she remembered, "Reese, I said no toys"
"Ouch!"
Immediately he put the toys away and sat on the couch. Without a second thought he grabbed the remote and turned on the tv
"Reese, did you forget already? I said no tv either" Colette didn't like being this hard on any of her kids but she couldn't let him cutting school slide.
"Sorry mom, I just never been punished before"
She wanted to giggle at that answer but she had to control herself.
Ah, so sad for both of them about this situation. This Forever Friends event makes many children absent from school or lie to their parents to go to that "pink world". 😂
If we care about realism, it's impossible to visit in a short time. (Not count how he brought a big doll with him)
I almost had my kid skip school as well, but changed it to be school holiday to avoid this. But your choice to have drama like this brings the impact storytelling that is exciting to follow. I hope Reese's situation will be better soon.
P.S. His facial expressions match each scene perfectly!
