"Sammykins! Why aren't you wearing the pink dress I laid out for you?" Pamela asks her daughter, the four-year-old girl looks up at her mother she is sitting on her king size bed reading a book, "Mother its Sam." She replies with an eye roll, then she looks back down at her book, Pamela snatches the book away from Sam, and then begins to lecture her, "Samantha, you will not disrespect me. Now put that dress on, I will not have you embarrassing me in front of my friends. Sally will be bringing her son for you to play with, put that dress on now young lady, or I will go get your father." Pamela then exits the room. Sam just goes to her closet and cuts the pink monstrosity up, before putting on black shorts and a lavender t-shirt. Then she grabs another book from her bookshelf and begins reading it.
Thirty minutes later Pamela walks in and discovers her daughter reading in clothes that make Pamela cringe, "That's it Samantha, I am getting your father and he will put a stop to this!" Pamela then rushes out of her daughters' room into her husbands' office, "Jeremy! Your daughter has a play date in ten minutes, and she's not dressed for it. She wont listen to me, so go talk to her!" Pamela whines to her husband, he sighs before following his wife to his daughters' room. "Hi, daddy!" Sam says when she sees her father, she's his little princess and he spoils her rotten. "Hey princess, I hear your not listening to your mother, will you please put on what she wants you to wear?" He asks his daughter, she then grabs his hand and drags him to her walk in closet, then she points to the destroyed dress on the floor, "I'm sorry daddy, I broke it." Sam apologizes, he laughs and picks her up, "You should apologize to mommy, she is not going to be happy, how about you put on one of your other dresses?" He says, Sam doesn't like to disappoint her father so she grumbles, "Fine." He sets her down so she can go find something else to wear, he doesn't understand why his wife treats Sam like a doll.
He walks out of Sam's room and finds Pamela tapping her foot, she looks at him and asks, "Did she listen to you?" he shakes his head and replies, "She destroyed the dress, so I made her out another dress on, now if you'll excuse me I have an important call in thirty minutes. Have fun with your friends." He lightly pecks her right cheek before going back to his office. Then Sam walks out of her room wearing a green sundress that reaches her knees, Pamela looks her over and then sighs, "I guess that will have to do, now come they should be here any minute." Pamela rushes down the stairs with Sam following her. One minute later the butler announce the guests have arrived, so Pamela brings Sam into the parlor with her, five other women and a little boy are waiting for them when they enter all the women stand and greet one another, the children just stand by waiting for instructions. Then when the women were done, Pamela introduces her daughter, "This is my daughter Samantha, and she's a little shy." The women glance at Sam in boredom, then a blonde women with blue eyes smiles at Sam and says, "Hi Samantha, this is my son Dash. Dash say hi!" the blonde little boy from earlier steps forward and holds out his right hand, "I'm Dash Baxter." He mumbles, the women laugh, then a Hispanic woman says, "He is adorable, Sally, and he has such nice manners. Now I regret not bringing my daughter Paulina." All the other women agree about him being adorable and how they wished they brought their children, then Pamela gestures to her daughter to shake his hand, Sam shakes his hand but does not offer a name. "Sam why don't you give Dash a tour of the house?" Pamela suggests, but Sam can hear the undertone that says Go off now before you embarrass me. Sam nods, and then leaves the room with Dash trailing behind her.

Sam glances at Dash and then she says, "I'm sure you don't really want a tour, how about we go play out side." Dash looks into Sam's purple eyes, he's amazed by the uniqueness of them before replying, "Your house is beautiful Miss Samantha, I do not mind a tour, or going outside." Sam rolls her purple eyes at him before saying, "Call me Sam, and you don't have to be that formal around me. Lets just go walk out side, I'll show you my swing." Sam astounds Dash, he has never heard a girl talk like that, but he follows her anyway.
Sam starts to lead him further away from the house, before turning around and saying, "Don't tell anyone where my swing is, the only person who knows besides me is my grandmother." She waits for his answer, he just shakes his head up and down, which seems to satisfy Sam she then touches his arm before running off yelling, "TAG! YOUR IT!" Dash's father doesn't like him playing 'such childish games' as he puts it, but Dash chases Sam anyway. She is always one step ahead of him; right before he can get her she giggles and runs off in a different direction. After ten minutes of running through the forest behind Sam's house they enter a clearing with wild flowers Sam just collapses on the ground, and Dash is right behind her, they are both laughing. Then Dash sits up and pokes her right arm, and says "Your it." Sam giggles and then says, "Come on, the swing is right over there." She points to the other side of the clearing; a board hangs by two ropes off a beautiful, gigantic oak tree. Dash says, "I'll race you!" Sam says, "Ok." Dash smiles and says, "GO!" They both run as fast as they can, Dash wins, he is four inches taller then her. When he sits on the swing he smirks at Sam revealing a missing front tooth, Sam sticks her tonged out, then he makes room for her on the swing. They talk about there families, Dash tells Sam that his dad is always mad at him and yells at him, and that he only gets along with his mom. Sam tells Dash that her mother treats her like a doll, and her dad is always busy, the only one who likes her is her grandmother. A while later they wander back to the house and find an angry Pamela and scared Sally, the other women left to go home.
"Samantha, do you have any idea what time it is?" Pamela yells at her daughter, while Sally runs to her son and says, "I was so worried, I thought something happened to you." Dash hugs his mom back explaining that Sam and him were just playing, while Sam tells her mother that she didn't know what time it was. "Samantha just go to your room! You will be punished later." Pamela tells her daughter; Sam hangs her head at her mothers words before turning to Dash and saying, "Bye Dash." Dash smiles at Sam and waves.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TIME IT IS!" George yells at his wife and son when they walk through the front door, Sally leans down to her son and tells him to go to his room, he nods afraid of his dad. But before he could, George grabs Dash and then yells at his wife "YOU CAN'T PROTECT HIM FOREVER, HE IS NO LONGER A BABY." Then he slaps Dash right across the face, Dash tries to hold the tears back, because he knows his father thinks men should not cry, but he couldn't help it, a few run down his face, they don't go unnoticed by George who punches Dash in the stomach, and then justifies his actions with, "That's what you get for crying, if I see you cry again, you will be sorry. Now leave." Dash just runs to his room, crying when he closes the door. He hears his dad beat his mother. Dash cries harder, his cheek still stings from the slap, and he can already see a bruise form on his stomach.

Jeremy takes the hint, "Sam, dear, listen to your mother this is important." Sam replies, "Yes daddy." Then she glares at her mother, Pamela composes herself, "I am pregnant, and this means you will be a big sister." Sam discreetly puts her meat under the table, before looking at her father and asking, "Daddy, will I get a sister or brother?" Pamela is angry that Sam won't address her, but Jeremy doesn't know what to do, so he says, "Princess we wont know for awhile." Then Pamela adds, "I'm two months along, in seven months the baby will be here, and when he or she arrives I expect you to be on your best behavior." Sam sighs and mumbles, "Don't you always?" Ida laughs and Jeremy hides his smile by sticking a piece of steak in his mouth, "What did you say young lady?" Pamela demands, Sam hides a smile and says, "Nothing." Pamela huffs.
