Summer of 1996

Emily's dad is visiting home for a couple of weeks, so he decided to take Emily out for ice cream and to the park. Right now, the little girl and her dad are in the car, with the tiny brunette in the back rambling on about all the fun things she did in kindergarten and how fun she thinks 1st grade is going to be.

"Daddy, Daddy! Guess what else happened!" Emily continues and Wayne smiles.

"What else happened, baby?"

"Mr. Tyler, my teacher, he uh, uh…he bwinged his pet bunny to class and we gotted to pet it!" Emily beams.

"Brought, honey," He corrects out of habit. "Mr. Tyler brought his bunny to class."

"Yeah! He bwought his bunny to class. And guess what, Daddy! We gotted to keep it in our woom and I was the bunny feeder and I gotted to feed him ca'wots!"

"Wow! That sounds like fun. Was it soft?"

"Uh, huh. Weeeally soft!"

"Wow. Well, what color was it? Was it a purple bunny?" Wayne asks and then smiles when hears his baby squeal in laughter.

"No, Daddy! You're silly; bunnies can't be purple!"

"Oh, that's right. I forgot." He glances between the road and the rearview mirror. "What about pink? Was Mr. Tyler's bunny pink?"

"Daddy, no! They can't be pink eider!"

"Oh! Well, what color was it?"

"It was bwown and white!"

"That sounds like a very pretty bunny. What did you feed to the bunny when you were the bunny feeder?" He asks as he pulls in to the ice cream parlor parking lot. He jumps out and rounds the car to the other side, opening the door and undoing Emily's car seat.

"I feeded him cawots, Daddy!" Emily bounds up the sidewalk to the parlor. The two walk in and pick a seat as the line to the counter is really long. "I feeded him lots of cawots!"

"Fed, baby." He corrects again, smiling. "You fed the bunny."

"That's what I said, Daddy!" Emily pouts and crosses her arms. Wayne has to smile at this; it's the exact same thing Pam would do when they were in high school and he was teasing her.

"Okay, sweetie. So, was the bunny a girl bunny or a boy bunny?" Wayne decides to change the subject back Emily's class bunny. It's actually an interesting conversation.

"It was a girl bunny!"

"What was her name?" Wayne asks.

"We named her 'Bunny'!" Emily beams and Wayne chuckles at the not-so-unique name.

"That sounds like a fantastic name." He tells her and she beams. "Now, how 'bout we go up to the counter and order some ice cream?"

"Yeah!"

"Okay! What kind do you want?" They walk up to the counter and Wayne lifts her up to see. "They have strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. Then there is Rocky Road, Banana Split and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough."

"Um…" Emily taps her finger on her chin, thinking for a moment. "I want cho'late!" The young-looking teenager, with the name badge that says 'Thomas', at the counter nods.

"Okay. And do you want any kind of toppings?"

"Sp'inkles!" Thomas scoops the ice cream out and then puts the topping on. He hands the ice cream to the little girl who happily begins to eat it.

"Emmy, sweetheart, what do you tell the nice man?" Wayne gently asks her.

"Thank you!" The boy smiles back.

"You're welcome, sweetie. You know, you remind me of my little sister. She's just about your age and loves chocolate ice cream too." Emily smiles at that. After Wayne orders his ice cream, the two leave and head to the park.

*Rosewood Park*

Emily ad Wayne eat their ice cream on a park bench, enjoying the sunshine. When she's done, Emily hops down from the bench.

"Can I go play on the swings, Daddy?"

"Sure, baby. But stay where I can see you, okay?"

"'Kay, Daddy!" Emily runs off towards the swings and climbs on one of the swings especially made for kids 4-8 years old. Emily jumps on and begins swinging.

After a few minutes, she stops, beginning to get bored, and decides to go play in the sandbox. There, she sees a little girl, about her age, with almost-ringlet like curly blonde hair and big blue eyes. The little girl is sitting beside herself in the sandbox, with her arms crosses, crying.

Emily frowns at this and walks over to her.

"Hi! My name is Emily, what's yours?" Emily greets as she plops down beside the upset blonde.

"Alison." The little girl replies.

"Hi, Alison! Do you wanna be my friend?"

Alison shrugs. "Sure." She mumbles and Emily smiles at her.

Yay! I'm glad." She frowns again when she notices her new friend is still upset. She has a sad face on, so Emily decides to do what her mommy and daddy and Mr. Tyler says she should do. Try to find out the problem and see if she can help.

"But why are you so sad? Did you get lost from your mommy and daddy?"

Alison shakes her head. Then she points to the other side of the playground, where a second sandbox is.

"My brother taked my bucket from me! And he won't give it back!"

Emily frowns at this. During kindergarten, she learned all about sharing her toys and how it would hurt her feelings and the other kids' feelings if someone took their toy away.

"Well, you should tell your mommy on him!" Emily declares and the little blonde shrugs.

"My mommy doesn't care." And with that, Emily's frown deepens.

"Well, what if I telled her?" Alison thinks about this and nods. She jumps up and Emily follows her over to a bench where a lady in a suit is sitting.

"This is my mommy," Alison says. "Her name is Jessica Dil-aur-ren-tis." She pronounces her last name very slowly because her teacher only had a limited amount of time to teach her. Alison was only being taught in class as Jessica and her dad were always too busy to help Ali with her homework.

"Hi, Miss Jessica!" Emily greets cheerfully, frowning when Jessica doesn't say anything.

"Mamma, this is Emily! She's my new friend!" Alison smiles joyfully, not being able to help herself. She's just so happy to have made a new friend.

"That's nice, dear," Jessica says dismissively. "Now, run along and play. We need to be going soon."

Emily frowns at her new friend's mom's lack of interest in her daughter. If Emily told her mommy and daddy she made a new friend, then they would be very happy and would say they were proud of her.

"Miss Jessica, Alison says her broder taked away her bucket. Can you make him give it back?" Emily asks.

"Brother, dear." Jessica corrects and Emily frowns in confusion. "Didn't your mother and father ever teach you the proper way to speak?"

"That's what I said, dough." Emily says. "Alison's broder taked away her bucket. Can you make him give it back?" She repeats adding 'please' in an effort to make her listen.

"Mamma," Alison decides to try. "Can you make Jas give my bucket back?"

"Alison, honey, just go play with your toys, okay? We're leaving soon." Jessica goes back to her phone, no longer paying attention to her daughter.

Emily watches as Alison's shoulders slump and makes up her mind. "Come on, Ali! Let's go see my daddy!" Emily takes off in the opposite direction with Alison following.

"Daddy, Daddy!" Emily bounces up and down making Alison giggle. "Daddy, this is my new friend, Alison. Ali, this is my daddy, but you can call him Mr. Wayne."

"Hi, Mr. Wayne." Alison waves shyly.

"Hello, sweetie. What are you girls up to?"

"Daddy, Alison's mom is being mean. Her broder took away her bucket and her mommy won't do anything about it!"

"Well, I'm sorry about that, Alison. I think Emily has some sand toys in the back of the car; would you girls like to come and take a look?"

"Yeah! Come on, Ali; let's go!" The two girls run after Wayne as he leads them to the car. He opens the trunk and pulls out a bag.

"Let's see here, girls. We have two buckets, three shovels and some sand molders. Would you like to play with them?"

"Yes please, Daddy!" Emily cheers. "Can I have the pink bucket?"

"Well, why don't you let Alison pick since she doesn't have one to play with? Would that be ok?"

"Yeah! Ali, you can pick. Which color do you want?" Emily asks the blonde who immediately points to the sky-blue bucket.

"Blue to match my eyes!"

"I think that's a fine choice, Miss Alison," Wayne says, making her giggle.

"Thanks, Mr. Wayne!" She grabs the bucket out of the bag and then picks an orange shovel to go with it. "Come on, Em! Let's go make a biiig castle!"

"Hold on, girls," Wayne calls out. "It looks like the sun is starting to come out. Why don't we put on some sunscreen so you don't get burned?"

"Okay, Daddy! Ali, did your mamma put sunscreen on you?" Emily asks her friend who shakes her head.

"No, my Mamma forgot too. But my broder did! He put it on all by hisself. But, my Mamma didn't put none on me cause she forgot even though I reminded her."

"That's okay. I'll put it on you after I do Emily. Does that sound okay?" Alison nods and patiently waits her turn to be sprayed. She decides that she likes Mr. Wayne. He's much nicer than her mommy and daddy put together and he even has extra toys for Emily! After the two girls get sprayed, they run back to the sandbox.

"Emmy, you can make that side and I will make this side. 'Kay?" Alison says pointing it out. She and Emily begin filling the buckets up.

"My friend Jaime says you gotta pat the sand." Emily tells her. "Like this:" She demonstrates patting the sand each time she puts more in.

"Like this?" Alison confirms, doing it also.

"Yep!"

"Cool!"

"Okay, now we gotta turn it over. But be careful or all the sand will fall out." Emily tells her. She turns the bucket over, pats the top and then lifts it up. It's an almost-perfect sandcastle. Alison tries hers but as she lifts the bucket up, the sand falls out in to a pile.

"Aw! I didn't do it." Alison complains and Emily moves closer. "That's ok! Jaime said his did that too. I'll help you build your side." The two girls work in silence; Alison filling the bucket up and Emily doing the patting. Once they are done, Emily turns the bucket over and pats the top of it. Then she lifts it up.

"There! See? Now we gots two houses. Now we gotta do the middle." Emily digs around in the bag for the 'castle wall' moldings. She finds two, a short one and a long one, and hands the long one to Alison.

"You make the walls on that side and I'll do this side." The two girls work together until they have made a square out of the molds and two more 'towers' out of the buckets.

"Wow! Look what we did!" Alison beams.

"Cool! Now we need flags for the towers. Stay here and guard the castle; I'll go look for sticks and rocks so we can decorate it!" Alison nods and Emily jumps up. She goes over to the side of the fence that is lined with pine tree and begins picking up rocks and sticks.

She runs back over to the sandbox and dumps the things she found in front of herself and Alison.

"You do the flags and I'll do the rocks. Then, we can dig a mote and make croc'diles!"

"Okay!" Alison takes the sticks and begins putting them in the tops of the 'towers'. Then she helps Emily digs around the castle and they drop rocks in the hole as 'crocodiles'.

"Wait!" Emily yells before Alison can stand up. "We hafta make windows so the princesses can see outside!"

"Okay. You do dat side and I can do dis side." Alison says. She carefully takes a stick and pokes at the sand. Her daddy once taught her how to make windows. It was the only thing he did and it was mostly so Alison would leave him alone while he talked on the phone.

"I can't do it, Ali." Emily complains. Alison scoots over to her and takes her hand.

"You gotta do dis." She pokes at the sand. "My Daddy teached me how." She says. She pokes at the spot a couple more times and makes a five-year-old version of a square.

"There! See? You did it!" Emily beams at her. "I think we needs more flags." Alison says.

"Yeah! We can put bajillions and bajillions on it so it will be the bestest castle in the whole kingdom!"

The two run around the park for several minutes, and after hunting by the tree-lined fence, they find several 'flags' made out of little trigs that still have leaves on them. Alison and Emily stick three 'flags' in one tower, giving another up to six and the others four and five.

Alison turns to Emily and beams. "We did good!"

"Yeah! Let's go my daddy! He can take a picture so I can show my mommy!" Emily runs over to her dad, grabs his hand and drags him over.

"Daddy! Look at our castle!" Emily shouts, pointing to the sand creation.

"Wow! You two did a fantastic job. I'm very proud of you; both of you. I bet that castle is fit for a princess, don't you think?"

"Yeah! We made a woom for Snow White and Cinderella." Emily says.

"And Ariel!" Alison adds, pointing to one of the towers. "This is her room and this is gonna be Aladdin's and Jasmine's room!"

"Wow. I bet all the princesses are happy that you made them their very own rooms."

"Daddy, will take a picture so we can show mommy?" Emily asks.

"Sure, baby. I am going to get the camera and I want both of you to stay right here, understand?"

"Okay, Daddy." Emily agrees with Alison throwing in, "Yes, Mr. Wayne!" Wayne leaves for the car and comes back a few moments later.

"Okay, girls, get around your castle and smile for the camera." … "Say 'cheese'!"

"Cheese!" The girls beam and throw their hands up. Wayne snaps a few pictures and then he puts it back in his pocket.

"All right, lady bug, why don't you put everything back into your bag? I think it's about lunch time and mamma will be wondering where we are."

"Aw…" Emily scrunches up her nose then sighs. "Okay, Daddy. But can we come back tomorrow? Pleeeaase, Daddy?"

Wayne chuckles. "Sure, baby. We can come back tomorrow. mommy might even be able to come with us. How does that sound?"

"Good!" She turns to Alison. "Ali, are you gonna be here too?"

Alison shrugs. "I don't know. Pro'bly not cause my mommy won't bring me and my daddy is always workin'."

"What if my daddy came and got you? Can we do that, Daddy?"

"Well, I don't know if Alison's mom would like that. She doesn't know me very well and I don't think she'd like someone who is a stranger to her coming and picking up her daughter to take her to the park."

"But what is you go over and tell her your name? Then you won't be a stranger no more! She will know your name is Mr. Wayne and you're my daddy and you'll know her name is Ms. Jessica and she's Ali's mommy."

Wayne thinks about it for a moment and decides it really couldn't hurt to give it a try. He nods. "Okay. But I want you to gather your toys up while I am talking to her, okay? That way we can leave and be home in time for lunch."

"Okay, Daddy." Emily beams and then her and Alison begin gathering up her sand toys. They stack the buckets up and then put the shovels inside with the sand molds. A few minutes later Wayne comes back over. Jessica actually agreed and said he could pick Alison up at 10:30 the next day. The girls will come to the park, have a picnic lunch and then go to Emily's house for a movie and probably naptime.

"Are you ready to go, sweetie?"

"Yes, Daddy! I have all my sand toys picked up." Wayne nods.

"Good girl. Now, tell Ali bye and that you'll see her tomorrow. Alison, your mom said I can pick you up at 10:30 a.m., okay? We'll come to the park and have a picnic lunch. Then you can come over and watch a movie with Emily. Does that sound okay to you?"

Alison's eyes sparkle and she nods enthusiastically. "Yeah! That sounds like a lot of fun, Mr. Wayne."

"Well, I'm glad. Now, it's time for us to go, but we will see you at 10:30 sharp tomorrow morning. Goodbye, Alison."

"Bye, Ali!" Emily waves as she and her dad head to the parking lot. They head home where Pam has made a lunch of chicken nuggets, mash potatoes and corn (Emily's favorite). Emily tells her all about her brand new friend and Pam tells her she is very proud of Emily for making Ali feel better when she was upset. She also says that she cannot wait to meet Emily's new friend the next day.

That night, both girls go to bed. Emily's mom and dad read her a story and tucks her in while Alison puts on her favorite pajamas, climbs into bed and then pulls the covers up to her chin and smiles as she 'tucks' herself in.

Emily and Alison both cannot wait for the next morning and for the following days, weeks and even years that are sure to bring a long, happy friendship to both of them.
