Patty's friends

Patty Swanson awoke to the sound of her alarm clock ringing away. The blonde haired ten-year-old leaned over and slammed on the alarm clock before sitting up in bed, smiling, as she was excited to go to the theater with Lucy, Violet and Frieda.

The ten-year-old hummed a little as she made her bed, thinking of the first time she met her friends, starting with Violet…

Patty Swanson was only two-years-old when she first met Viola Grey at nursery school. The toddler in the plaid dress eagerly ran up to the black-haired toddler as she shook her hand. "Hi. I'm Patty Swanson. What's your name?" Patty asked excitedly. "I'm Viola Madisyn Grey, but you can call me Violet." "Nice to meet you, Violet." Patty replied happily.

Patty sat on her bed for a while before hearing the phone ring. "Hello?" Patty asked before hearing Violet's voice on the other end. Apparently, Violet caught the stomach bug, so Patty had to go to the theater without her. "At least Lucy and Frieda haven't cancelled yet." Patty told herself, trying to sound optimistic as she remembered how she met Lucy…

Patty was on an outing with her mom six years ago when she met the future fussbudget, who was helping her mommy push the stroller that her baby brother was asleep in. Patty walked closer to the two-year-old girl as she introduced herself, "I'm Patty Anastasia Swanson. What's your name, little girl?" Little Lucy looked at Patty before introducing herself. "An dis iz my baibee brotha, Linuz Van Pelt." Lucy added proudly.

Patty smiled at that memory before the phone rang again. This time, it was Lucy and she had the stomach bug as well. "As long as Frieda doesn't cancel our appointment at the theater, I won't have to be lonely." Patty reminded herself as the memory on how she met her naturally curly haired friend danced in her memory…

Patty and Violet were playing together when they noticed a five-year-old girl walk towards them. She was sporting a magenta dress and orange curly hair that the girl claimed to be 'naturally curly'. "I'm Frieda Francesca Rich." The curly haired girl claimed. "I'm Violet and this is Patty." Violet stated as she pulled Patty closer to her chest. Frieda then shyly asked, "May I play with you girls?" Patty then passed the ball to Frieda, who threw it back to Violet.

"That was a good day." Patty told herself before the phone rang for the third time in an hour. This time it was Frieda: she couldn't go to the theater because she was going to be babysitting Leland and his friends. "Oh, have fun." Patty sadly said before hanging up and sighing in defeat.

Looking at the four tickets in her hand. She had one more friend to ask to join her to the theater, although no one would probably believe that she'd want to watch a movie with PigPen at a public movie theater. "The girls and I'll see that movie soon. But today, I think PigPen and I'll watch some of our favorite movies at home together." She thought as she dialed her friend's phone number.
