Davy on the Prairie
Chapter 1: Davy meets Laura:
One afternoon, while Micky, Mike, and Peter were out, Davy was sitting in the Pad watching his favorite show, Little House on the Prairie, on TV in his room. He loved the Ingalls family, particularly the second child of the family, Laura. He loved the way she ran down the hill with her sisters and their dog Jack in the opening and ending credits. He felt sorry for her when her worst enemy, Nellie Olson, fought with her and made fun of her, but he was proud when Laura stood up for herself and believed wht was right. He didn't pay any attention to any of the other Ingalls children; Mary was not his type and Carrie was the baby of the family, which did not suit his tastes. Caroline and Charles were loving parents; they always looked out for their children, and he liked that. However, Davy felt that Laura should not marry Almonzo Wilder as she would in later seasons. Davy thought that he should be the one to marry Laura. He fell in love with her sparkling personality on the show. That afternoon's episode consisted of Nellie calling Laura names which caused Laura to run home, crying. The rest of her family was out of town and wouldn't be back in Walnut Grove for five weeks, which meant she had the whole house to herself. Ma and Pa were a little concered, but she assured them she would be fine. Davy didn't think so when he saw that her feelings were hurt and she was alone without her sisters and parents. If only he could figure out a way to help her! He closed his eyes and thought to himself: I wish I was with that bright child! All of a sudden, a flash of light surrounded him and in two seconds he realized he wasn't in The Pad anymore. He was on the prairie in Walnut Grove. He ran down the prairie laughing with his arms in the air like Laura did. He loved the feel of he country air surrounding him which was much different than California. When he reached the edge of town and rushed off to find Laura, thinking of a plan as he ran. He was definitely going to tell his mates about this adventure when he got back! He laughed at the thought of the looks on their faces, sprinting down the path to Laura's house. He had no idea how he would do it, but he was going to watch over Laura and take care of her for the family. She needed a friend and he would be the one to comfort her. He finally reached the house realizing that the door was open and heard her crying. He went into her bedroom to see Laura on the bed, her braids in front of her face. He brushed them aside and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"Laura." he whispered.
