Getting Ready To Go Part 2
"Thanks, Daddy." Anne said.
"Bad news is," Alan sighed. "Annie and I need more material for our song."
"Don't worry about that," Akiko said to Alan gently. "I am sure that you and Anne will come up with more lyrics for your song while we're shopping."
"Thanks, Mommy," Alan said. "I believe I needed that."
A little while later, Akiko, Suzie, Alan, Anne, and Tom were on their way to the mall in Akiko's car.
Anne, Alan, and Tom were riding in the back seat in their safety seats while Suzie rode up front with Akiko.
The long car ride lulled the three youngsters to sleep.
While Anne and Alan dreamed on, lyrics for their special song began springing up in their heads.
Anne sang first this time.
Anne: I'm your twin;
You're my twin;
We stick together through thick and thin;
No matter what I do;
I'm always stuck with you;
Alan: And if trouble comes our way;
I know my twin will save the day;
Wherever you may be;
You're always stuck with me;
Anne: When you're feeling sad and blue;
Call my name, and I'll find you;
We have a bond that's tried and true;
You and me;
Me and you;
Two by two;
Alan: What if I never find you;
What if I'm a twin no more;
I'd give all our family's treasures;
If you came walking through that door;
Anne and Alan: When you're feeling sad and blue;
Call my name, and I'll find you;
We have a bond that's tried and true;
You and me;
Me and you;
Two by two.
A few minutes later, Akiko parked in the shopping mall's parking lot as the younger kids awoke in the back.
"Alan," Akiko exclaimed. "I am so proud of you and Anne!"
Anne and Alan glanced at one another with uncertainty, "Huh? What did we do?" they asked in unison.
"You finished your special song," Akiko exclaimed taking Tom out of his safety seat and putting him in the stroller. "Mommy is very proud of you!"
Suzie got out of the car and helped Alan and Anne out of their safety seats.
"I'm also proud of you," Suzie said to Anne and Alan. "but can we get going now?"
"Okay, Miss Bossy Boots!" Alan said to Suzie.
"Alan! Apologize to Suzie at once!" Akiko scolded sharply.
