"Roni! Roni, Where did you go?"
The young Wilson ran down the streets in a hurry. He only looked away for a second and his sister wondered off somewhere. Their parents always said they needed to stick together. He didn't want to go home without her.
"Roni," he yelled. "Roni! This isn't funny anymore. Please come out." He was starting to get a little panicked at this point, it was getting late after all.
"I told you, officer, all the roads look the same to me. I just want to go home already." He stopped in his tracks. That was his sister's voice.
Wilson turned the corner to find Veronica being scolded by a police officer. "Now stop lying and tell me where you live. Then maybe I won't tell your parents you ran away" No wonder she looked a little mad.
"Roni!" he yelled as he went to hug his sister. He turned to the police officer. "That you for finding my sister. She gets lost very easily."
The police officer looked a little taken aback by this. "Well, seems you were telling the truth, after all, little lady."
She pouted. "I told you, I didn't run away, and I don't get lost Will, I just get turned around…occasionally."
"But Roni, you said that the last six times it's happened," said Wilson. Only because it's true.
The officer just shakes his head in amusement."Well, you two better go straight home ok."
When they finally got a moment to themselves, Wilson finally lets go of his sister. "Why did you run off like that Roni?" he asked.
She grinned, almost to reassure him things were ok."I'm sorry Will. I saw this little guy and when I finally got him this is when the streets started looking the same"
On cue, a little kitten came out from hiding under her dress. Immediately, Wilson's mood from earlier went up.
"Are we gonna keep him, and can I name him?" he asked.
Truthfully she wanted to name the little guy, but she has never denied her brother. Especially when he looks so happy.
"We have to ask Mother and Father first, but yeah you can name him."
Wilson finally smiles for the first time since Veronica ran off. "Then I'm gonna name him Einstein!"
"Then let's take Einstein home and ask right away." She looks around a bit confused. "You lead the way through. I don't know where we are."
He sighed. "Seriously Roni, you got to stop getting lost."
"I don't get lost, I just get turned around."
He gives her a look. "Right…Follow me. Let's go home."
