"Can I see Ji Yeon now?" Dil asked Stu for what felt like the tenth time.
"yes, Dil, Just as soon as I finish setting up my display. Didi had called Mi Sun and told her that Stu and the boys would be coming for the toy expo. They arranged a playdate for their kids and would meet at the expo.
"Come on Dilly. Let's go see all the neat toys that people vented." Tommy told his brother. Stu was to busy working on his new toy. It was a Reptar wagon that turned into a boat and a train. He had gotten better at making his toys function, now that he no longer used bubble gum and rubber bands to hold the pieces togeather.
The boys walked around and saw many different toys, from dolls to cars and anything they could imagine.
Dil was so mesmerized by a new alien toy that he didn't feel the slight tap on his shoulder until it happened again, only this time a little harder. He turned around and smiled.
"Ji yeon, You're finally here!" Dil exclaimed giving the small girl a hug.
"Yep. My daddy is working here today to make sure peoples don't steal the new toys." Ji Yeon explained as she pointed over to her dad, who was standing by the door in his police uniform.
"I wouldn't steal a toy, even if I really want one of these aliens. They're so cool. They even glow in the dark but I know taking stuffs that's not yours is wrong." Dil said.
"Ooh. Look, they have singing princesses and their dresses change colors when they sing!" Ji Yeon exclaimed running over to a display where all of the Disney princess dolls were set up."I want these for my nextest birthday."
"Ji Yeon come on we gotta go." Mun Hee called.
"Why do we have to go?" Ji Yeon asked as she, Tommy, and Dil made their way over to the door where Mun Hee was standing."I want to see all the toys."
"You can see all the toys when they're in the store. Only people who want to buy them can be in here." Mun Hee explained.
"But we want to buy them." Ji Yeon said.
"They're not for sale to the public yet. The only people who can buy them are the ones that want to make more of them so they can be sold in stores." Mun Hee explained the best she could to a three year old.
They got in a taxi and drove through the city. Dil looked out the window at all the tall buildings and all the people walking around.
"It rains more here then back home." Dil said looking out the window and watching the rain drops roll down.
"I like the rain, specialy if I have to go to sleep and I'm not tired yet." Ji Yeon said.
The rain cleared up almost as soon as it started so the kids played at the park that was situated down below the apartment complex.
"Stay here and play. I'll come and get you in a little while." Mun Hee told the kids.
"Do you guys want to play on the backyard?" Ji yeon asked.
"You don't have your own backyard anymore?" Tommy asked.
"No. We just have this park." Ji yeon answered. They made their way to the big toy and climbed up the stairs.
"Get out of our castle." A boy with dark brown hair said angrily.
"Yeah this is our castle. Get lost." Min Jun said coming up from behind the boy.
"This isn't your playground Gino." Juliana yelled."They can play here too."
"How come you're being so mean Min Jun?' Tommy asked.
"Well you can play with us Tommy cuz you're six like us, but no little kids." Min jun said.
"When did your brother start being mean?" Tommy asked turning to Ji Yeon.
"When he started playing with my brother." Juliana answered for her. She pointed to the dark haired boy."That's Gino and I'm Juliana."
"She's my new friend that I had a sleepover with." Ji Yeon told the boys.
"Are you coming Tommy?" Min Jun asked.
"No. I'm gonna play with my brother." Tommy answered. He did want to play with the boys but not if they were going to be mean.
"Then get lost." Gino yelled.
"fine we will." Juliana yelled back and started to walk out of the playground area.
"Where are you going?' Ji yeon called after her.
"They said get lost so that's what I'm goiing to do, only not really get lost, just get away from them." Juliana explained."You want to come? I know this city frontwards, backwards, and more so follow me."
"You ready to go an adventure?' Tommy asked Dil.
"Always. Let's go." Dil answered as he and Tommy caught up to the girls.
"We're coming too." Tommy said.
"great. Where do you want to go firstest?" Juliana asked.
"Let's show them the pizza place." Ji Yeon suggested.
"Good idea. I'm hungry." Juliana said. they made their way over to Dino's Pizzaria.
Juliana, does your mom know your here?" Dino asked his granddaughter when he saw the kids come iinside.
"Ji Yeon's cousin is with us. she's just outside talking on the phone."Can me and my new friends, what was your names again?" Juliana stopped and looked at Tommy and Dil.
"Tommy and my brother Dil." Tommy said.
"Right. Can we plaease have some pizza?" Juliana asked.
Dino nodded and gave each kid a slice of cheese pizza. They walked back outside, eating their pizza as they went.
"Let's go to Central park." Juliana suggested."It's the biggerest park in the world and they have fun stuff to do."
"That sounds fun but I don't see a park anywhere, just more buiildings." Tommy said.
"Yeah, how do we get there?" Dil asked.
"The subway." Juliana answered."Follow me." She lead the kids down some stairs and they snuck aboard a train.
"You gots to hold on to the poles." Juliana instructed as she grabbed one with Ji Yeon while Tommy and Dil took hold of the one next to them and the train took off.
They got off when they heard central park and the doors opened. They walked along a sidewalk until they saw a sea of green in the middle of a big city.
"Welcome to central park everybody." Juliana announced. The kids looked around and saw clowns making balloon animals and bounce houses.
"It looks like a big party." Tommy said excitedly.
"Let's go get a balloon animal." Dil said walking over to the clown. He got a blue hat, Tommy got a green dinosaur, Juliana got a pink dog, and Ji Yeon got a blue dog.
They walked around the park for awhile looking at all the poeple until it started to rain.
"What do we now?" Ji Yeon asked."All the peoples are leaving."
"I don't know." Juliana answered."We need to get out of this rain."
"We can go in there." Tommy pointed to a building a little ways outside the park. The kids walked inside to see the toy expo where Ji yeon met up with Dil earlier that day.
"Hey this is where our daddies are." Dil pointed out."They can take us home."
"No Dil. They can't see us or we'll be in trouble." Ji Yeon said.
"She's right. We better hide." Tommy said taking cover under a table.
Meanwhile back at the apartment Gino and Min Jun were coming outside from the rain. They were heading into the building when they ran into Mun hee.
"Where are the little kids?" She asked.
"I don't know. Gino told them to get lost so they left." Min Jun answered.
"You what?" Mun hee asked grabbing Gino by his shirt. She let him go when she saw Giada coming down the hallway.
"Gino where's your sister? Wasn't she on the playground with you?" Giada asked. Gino looked down at his feet.
"He told them to get lost and now my cousin and his friends are probably in this city somwhere with your daughter." Mun Hee explained."We have to find them beofre my aunt and uncle find out."
Giada called the police while Mun Hee looked for her phone.
"Have you seen my phone?" Mun Hee asked Min Jun.
'Yeah. Ji yeon took it when you wasn't looking." Min Jun answered.
"Why is she always taking my phone?" Mun Hee groaned but quickly got an idea."Can I borrow your phone please? I think I know how we can find them." Giada handed the Korean teen her phone. She pressed a few buttons.
"It says their at the toy expo." Mun Hee said handing the phone back."We have tog et over there before it ends. Uncle is there and If he finds them I'm dead."
"Ok. We'll wait here in case they come back." Min Jun said.
"No you won't. You're coming with before you cause anymore trouble." Mun Hee said dragging the six year old boy out the door and into the cab.
"I didn't tell them to get lost." Min Jun whined.
"I don't care. you've been mean to your sister ever since you met Gino." Mun Hee whispered in Korean.
"I just act like he does with his sister." Min Jun said in Korean.
"Well stop or I'll make sure you get sent back to Korea to live your real parents." This made Min Jun go quiet. He had seen his parents a few times since being adopted and didn't want to go back to them.
Back at the toy expo the kids were still under the table when they heard Stu talking to a man.
"Well Mr Pickles this is the best toy here and I want to offer you a deal." The business was saying.
"That's great. Thanks." Stu said.
"These toys will be on the shelves this Christmas season." The guy said excitedly.
"How do we get in?" Mun Hee asked as she looked around and saw police officers at every exit.
"It should be almost over. We can sneak in and grab the kids when the crowd is coming out the door." Giada said. Ten minutes late the doors opened and the two adults ducked in while the crowd was filing out.
"I don't see them." Mun Hee said quietly.
"according to the phone they should be right here." Giada said pointing to the table. Mun Hee knelt down and noticed a pink dress.
"There you are." She exclaimed grabbing Ji Yeon.
"How did you find us?" Ji Yeon asked.
"Give me my phone back." Mun Hee said.
Ji Yeon handed the phone back to her older cousin."Sorry I took it."
"It's ok. i'm glad you did or else I don't know how we would've found you guys."
"Mommy can we go home now? I'm tired." Juliana said.
"Yes." Giada aswered while giving her daughter a hug."Next time don't listen to your brother."
They made it back to the apartment before Ji Yeon's parents and Stu. The three year girls and Dil took a nap while Gino got grounded. Tommy decided to relax on the couch and watch tv with Mun Hee and Min Jun until his daddy came to get. They agreed to not say a word about the adventure they had. Later that night after Tommy and Dil had left to go to their hotel, Min Jun and Ji Yeon sat down and watched Puppy Dog Pals like they used to before they moved. Min Jun didn't like the show anymore but he missed hanging out with his little sister. He decided he didn't want to be like Gino anymore.
The next day Tommy and Dil came to the apartment where they played on the playgeound and had an imaginitive adventure.
