AN: Thank you all for the amazing reviews! You're the best. Seriously. Also, I'm quite glad you all like my username. I chose it well. Anywho... ON TO THE DRABBLE!

(It's a longer one!)

Drive

"No, no, no! Thea, we're not stopping again!"

The tiny nine-year-old turned back around and dashed to her friend, "Martha. Do you really think Anna cares if we're late? Nooooooo."

"No matter, we're said we would be there thirty minutes ago." Martha shook her head and marched forward down the side of the main street.

It was inconvenient and, frankly, annoying to have to walk all the way across town just to go to Anna's house. But, her house was the biggest in town, which Thea found unfair. Honestly, why should an only child have such a big abode when Thea had to share her average sized one with three siblings? Martha didn't really care either way, being out of her own living quarters for a while was enough for her.

After walking to the end of main street, they came across a small problem. Well, actually a huge problem. It appeared that during the storm last night, a tree had fallen onto the road. Thea stopped dead in her tracks, staring at the fallen oak with a look of such contempt in her eyes. It seemed to Martha that the shorter girl was actually trying to will the tree to move.

After five minutes of Thea frowning at a piece of wood and Martha standing around, shuffling her feet, Martha spoke, "Er, I really don't think it's working."

Thea looked at her friend and nodded, "Yes... we'll have to go around then, won't we?"

"Well, we really can't. If we go to the side of the tree, we'll end up walking into some poison ivy or something of the sort." Martha averted her eyes, hoping Thea wasn't mad.

Thea sighed and giggled. "Okay. Then we'll climb."

Martha was startled, "Thea, that's not a good idea-"

But Thea had already dug her foot into a crevice on the trunk and was hoisting herself up. Standing on the oak, she smiled and put her dirt covered hands on her hips, "Now, get up here! Anna's house is only down this road!"
