[With Thomas]
"Excuse me!" he called out to them with a cheesy looking smile to get everyone's attention. "I'm real sorry for botherin all y'all, but are you a real live Dragonewt?" he asked.
Thomas now had the full attention of the four people who stood on the porch of the house. There was of course a couple who had to be the host family, the man who came to buy the rights of the Interspecies Girl who they were watching and then the student herself. The girl herself was a Western Dragonewt and this was made obvious by her reptilian appearance and bat like wings on her back. She had dark red hair which was decorated with many fine braids and amber colored eyes with slit pupils. The scales that were near her eyes and covered her ears, as well as her shoulders, back, lower arms and legs as well as her tail and wings were crimson red. She had talons on her hands and feet and an arrow like tip at the end of her tail.
Another interesting thing she did was rest her wings on her back with them hanging off her shoulders by the digits on them so that they would hang off almost like a cloak or cape. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow and crossed her arms before asking "As opposed to a fake dead one?"
Thomas laughed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, okay maybe not the best choice of words." he replied.
"Hey Kid, this is private so beat it." said the guy in the suite.
"I'm sorry, it's just I see Interspecies Girls on TV and stuff all the time but I've never seen one in person." he replied. "I just wanna talk and ask a few questions please?" he asked them.
The Dragon Girl looked over to her hosts and the man they were talking to and waited for their response. "It's alright Marg, go right ahead if you want to." said the woman.
Thomas watched as she walked past them and down the walkway before leaving the gate and then walking away with him around the corner so they could talk more privately. Thomas shot one more look around the corner before turning his attention back to the girl he wanted to talk with.
"So, what was it you wanted to know Human?" she asked with her arms still crossed.
Thomas smiled before responding. "Well for starters, your name." he replied.
She paused when she realized that he wasn't acting really excited and energetic like he was moments ago. Then she finally replied "I'm not entirely familiar with Human customs. But as I understand it, if you wish to know someone else's name, it's polite to first introduce yourself." she explained.
He chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck again in response to that. "You're right, my apologies." he replied. "My name is Thomas Hayes. I live on a farm about a half hour from here with my family. What's your name?" he asked her.
"My name is Marguerite Stephanie Blanc." she replied. "Call me Marg if you wish." she added.
"A real pleasure to meet you." he replied extending his hand to shake hers.
Marg was actually not expecting this from a human. He's actually the first human she'd ever met to offer a handshake and show genuine interest in her. She smirked and took his hand in hers before shaking it. "And you as well Thomas." she told him.
"If you don't mind my asking, how long have you been here in Virginia?" he asked her.
"Less than a month really." she replied. "And I must say, I'm not all that impressed with the people here." she told him while crossing her arms again.
Thomas' smile dropped hearing that. "You don't like it here?" he asked.
"It's a lovely place. A bit hot but very lovely." she answered. "I just wish that the people here were less...irritating." she added.
"What sort of problems have you been having with the people?" he asked her.
"Well for starters, my Host Family." she started. "I'll bet when they signed up for the ICEP, they were expecting a more softer looking kind of girl, not a Dragonewt. The looks on their faces when I arrived were real works of art, let me tell you." she complained. She then looked over to the side a bit and hardened her look. "I knew before joining this stupid program that I would probably have to put up with something like this, but I've been having a really tough time just trying to brush it all off. Every time I enter the room, Dennis and Rachel tense up and get real quiet, like mice when the cat arrives. And if that's not enough, they've always, ALWAYS tried to keep me from getting too close to either of their children." she said, now sounding less angry.
"I'm really sorry about that." he responded.
"It's a shame really." she went on. "They have a toddler and ironically, he hasn't shown to be afraid of me at all. In fact, he's actually really cute." she added.
"It's not right." said Thomas, getting her to look at him. "Your Coordinators should have taken the time to find a family who wouldn't have a problem with Dragons at all. Secondly, your Hosts should have known what they were signing on for and understand that students are joining this program because they want to be apart of society. And that means learning to accept that people are different and that's okay." he told her. That was when he looked to see her looking up at him in a strange way. "What?" he asked.
"Do you...really have no problem at all with me being a Dragonewt?" she asked him.
"I don't see any reason why I should." he replied. "Physical appearances should never matter at all, only the content of a person's character." he told her.
She then smirked before looking over to her hosts again who were still talking with the man who showed up to their door. "I get the sense that you're not really here just to ask me questions because you're curious about Dragonewts." she said.
"That guy, is he your Coordinator?" he asked her, referring to the guy on her host's porch.
"No, he showed up not long ago, claiming to be interested in taking me off their hands and being my new Host Family." she answered. "Why?" she asked.
Thomas then had her come in a little closer so they could watch around the corner and then to their shock, they watched an envelope and a document change hands between the the guy and the couple. Both of them could only assume that the document was Marg's legal papers and the envelope was money.
"Because what both of them are doing is illegal." he replied. "Did they tell you that money was gonna change hands?" he asked.
"No, they just said I was gonna be living with a new Family." she answered.
"And they never once spoke with your Coordinator?" he asked.
"I don't know, they just said someone else wanted to be my Host Family, where are you going with this?" she asked him.
"Because if what you say is true, they just committed a real serious crime." he answered. "If a Student wants to live with another Host Family or the Host Family is unwilling or unable to take care of the Student in any way, it's the Coordinator's job to sort things out. You can't just give away your Students to other people, that's a direct violation to joint Interspecies and Federal Laws. If your Family profits from doing so, that makes it even worse." he added.
"You mean, they sold me?" she asked with wide eyes and with absolute disbelief.
"Yes which is a direct violation to the 13th Amendment. People can't buy, sell or trade other people in the U.S. that's Slavery which as been illegal in America for over 150 years." he explained.
Thomas was quite surprised to see steam shoot from her nostrils and it get even hotter as she looked pretty mad. "They sold me, a proud Dragon?!" she growled. "I have half a mind to go back there and burn their house to the ground." she threatened as she was about to go over and do it.
Thomas stopped her before she could. "Hey now, hey." he said, getting her to face him again. "I've already called and informed the right people, they'll be busted real soon." he told her.
She was taken back by that. Clearly, he had everything planned out. "Did you call the Police or the Interspecies Program?" she asked.
"Iterspecies." he answered. "In fact, my Coordinator asked me to stall them so that she can bust them. In fact, I'm sure that she'll be here any minute now." he told her.
'His Coordinator? Then he must be a Host Family too.' she thought. "Do you really have no problem with Dragonewts?" she asked again, getting him to turn back to her.
"Not at all." he replied with a smile.
The both of them then jumped in surprise as vans and cars with sirens on them came in out of nowhere and surrounded the house. The young couple and the guy hoping to buy Marg looked way more surprised than Thomas or Marg when officers in full SWAT gear rushed in with guns drawn and surrounding them.
DON'T MOVE DIRT BAGS!" shouted an Officer as the three of them put their hands up.
Thomas smiled and started singing "Bad Boys, Bad Boys, What Cha Gonna Do? What Cha Gonna Do When They Come For You?"
Marg actually laughed hearing that and seeing the guy in the suite clapped in cuffs. "You know what, I like you." she said to the blonde human.
Within minutes, the guy who bought her was forced into the back seat of a police car while Marg's previous family were talking with some other officers who were giving them a court summons for their crime. Meanwhile, Marg's Coordinator who much to Thomas' surprise was Victoria, walked up to speak with the both of them.
"I really appreciate the distraction my Dear." said the Vampire, smiling behind her shades. "There have been incidents like these popping up all over the States. You've done a great thing for both Humans and Interspecies by stopping something like this from happening. If you hadn't been there, this could have done a lot of damage to the relationships between both of our governments and it would do great harm to Marguerite as well." she told him.
"Happy to do my part." he replied tipping his hat to her.
She then turned her attention to the young Dragon girl. "I apologize for this Marguerite." she told her. "I should have checked up on you more often and made sure that you and your Hosts were comfortable. In fact, I should have made better sure that you were assigned to the right Host Family from the very beginning." she explained.
"I don't really care at all that much anymore, we were having problems anyway." she replied casually. "Even if they weren't gonna sell me to some random stranger, I was probably gonna call and ask for a transfer anyways." she told her.
"I see." replied Victoria.
Marg then turned her attention to Thomas. "Thank you, for being there for me." she told him. "You didn't know me or had any real obligations to me either and yet you saved me from who knows what." she told him with a grin, all the while Victoria noticing the look on her face and getting an idea.
"I'm real happy I could help Marg." he replied. "I'd like to wish you luck and I hope you find a better Host Family to take you in." he told her before turning to the Vampire. "You'll make sure she finds a suitable home right?" he asked her.
"My Dear, it's my job to." she replied. "I promise that I'll have her assigned to the best home available." she told him.
"Well, alright then." he replied before tipping his hat again. "Then if you've got everything under control here, I gotta get home because Ma and Pa are waiting on some feed for the animals." he told them before heading back to his truck.
Both Interspecies ladies watched as he headed off before picking up where they left off. "Now, I'm sure it wouldn't do the ICEP any good if word got out that a Host Family I was assigned to tried to sell me, wouldn't it Miss Victoria?" asked Marg.
"No I don't believe that it would." the Vampire replied.
"And I'm sure that you know that this means finding a new home will require someone who's A, trustworthy with Interspecies Girls like me." she said listing off with her clawed fingers. "And B, has no problem with Dragonewts." she finished.
Victoria then crossed her arms before responding. "That really narrows it down." she replied. "In fact, only one house comes to mind." she says which results in both of them grinning.
[With Thomas]
Thomas was driving home now with several large bags of feed for the animals and he was probably twenty minutes away when his cellphone rings. He answers to hear his sister Diana on the other end.
"Diana?" he asked.
"Thomas, some men are in our house and taking down walls while putting up new ones." she replied. "Did you say they could change our house?" she asked him.
"In a manner of speaking, yeah we did." he answered. "The contracts that I've signed as a Host, Ma and Pa know this too, is that if for any reason modifications need to be made to the houses for the comfort of the Exchange Students, they can be made and will be." he told her. "I really wouldn't worry, they're probably making some more room since we're now housing three of them." he added.
"Well okay." she replied. "Wait what?...Okay I'll tell him. Tamara says she misses you." she told him.
Thomas smiled, thinking that this was the sort of thing Tamara would do. "Tell her I'll be home in about fifteen or twenty minutes." he told her.
"Okay, bye." she replied before hanging up.
Thomas would drive on and then start thinking about the changes that were being made to their home. 'Wait a minute, why would they start making changes now? Tammy, Lien and Isabel haven't had any problems before with space.' he thought to himself. 'But then again, Isabel is a tall drink of water so I guess it makes sense to try and make a little more room for her, but why not before and instead of after?' he asked. These things he'd ponder until he'd make it back home.
[Hayes Farm]
Thomas first drove over to the barn where he would first park his truck and unload all the bags of feed which took him only a few trips. He then got back in and drove over to the house and shortly after pulling into the driveway and parking his truck, Thomas would begin unloading the feed that his mother sent him to get. That's when his cellphone rang again. Checking the caller ID, he saw that it was Victoria again. He flipped his phone open and held it up to his ear before answering.
"Miss Victoria?" he answered.
"Hello my Dear, I hope you're doing well since our last talk." said the vampire on the other line.
"Just fine. I'm home now and just finished unloading the feed Ma sent me to get for her this mornin." he replied. "Can I help you with anything?" he asked.
"I just wanted to tell you that I've found a new home for Marguerite." she replied.
Thomas was actually surprised to hear that. "That was really quick." he commented.
"It's my job my Dear." she replied. "Also, I hope you'll be happy to know that her new Host Family has no problems with Dragonewts." she added.
"Well that's great." he replied smiling.
"Yes, Marguerite is really happy and can't wait to meet everybody. I'll be bringing her to her new house tomorrow morning. I just wanted to give you an update on her well being, given you've played a very important role today." she explained.
"I really appreciate that Miss Victoria." he replied.
"Anyway, I have some work to do. I'll see you again very soon my Dear. I'll be checking on you and the girls as always." she told him.
"Have a pleasant day now." he said before they both hung up. As Thomas then started heading to the house from his truck, a thought crossed his mind. 'Wait a minute, Diana said that laborers were here earlier and added some extensions to the house and that was shortly after that whole mess with Marguerite.' he thought. 'She wouldn't...no.' he then thought smiling again. 'Nah, she's just making sure that the girls here have plenty of room in the house. I mean, how many other families are hosting three students? You're worrying about nothing at all old Tom Fool.' he told himself.
He decided he was gonna grab himself something to eat and get something to drink too before he'd pick up on farm work again. After all, work on Hayes Farm is very long and demanding. The young farm boy would enter the house and see Tamara laying on the couch in his family's living room. It looked like she was napping but when he stepped in, he saw her ear twitch which meant she heard him and shot up to see him. Tamara smiled and jumped up to run forward and greet him with a hug, nearly knocking him off his feet as he tried to remain standing. He really wished that she would learn to control herself a bit because she was much stronger than he was and did get a little too overexcited whenever he got back from an errand, even if it was a short one.
"Master, I'm glad you came home!" she cheered with her tail wagging behind her happily.
Thomas smiled and hugged her back before putting his hat up on the rack near the front door. "Yeah, Diana told me that you missed me. You do understand that I was only running to town to get some feed for the horses and chickens right?" he asked her.
"I know, but you left without telling me anything and I also wanted to go with you." she replied. "So I decided that once I was done with chores, I was gonna wait right here for you." she told him.
"So you've been sitting on the couch the whole time waiting for me to get back then?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Of course I did Master. It's because I love you." she replied happily.
Thomas couldn't help but smile and shake his head at that. Tamara really was a lot more like a dog than anything else. He then walked up and placed a hand gently on her shoulder. "Then how about we have a glass of lemonade and a quick break before we start work again." he suggested.
"Okay." she agreed before heading over to the fridge and getting some glasses.
Thomas took a look around the house and noticed it looked a little different. That's when he realized that it looked a little wider than before. "Did the crew who came here earlier today redo the whole house?" he asked her as he first poured her a glass and then himself.
"No, not the whole house." she answered. "They did do the living room, dining room and they added some more rooms upstairs." she told him.
"How many?" he asked.
"Three." she answered.
'Why three more rooms? Tammy, Lien and Isabel already have rooms of their own and they're quite comfortable in them.' he thought. "Well, you're supposed to be learning more about Human Society, did you learn anything while watching the construction crews work?" he asked her.
"Actually, yes I did." she answered smiling. "One, those guys work really fast. They weren't even here for twenty minutes before they were done." she told him.
'How the Hell is that even possible?' he asked himself. "And Ma and Pa are okay with it?" he asked.
"Mom and Dad love it." she replied happily. "They say that the house looks even better before and they didn't even need to spend a single penny." she told him, getting him to chuckle.
"Yeah, I suppose Ma and Pa would be happy if their house could get remodeled for free." he said before taking a drink of the yellow lemon juice. "What I find really interesting is that while the inside looks different and all that, the outside of the house hasn't changed at all." he commented, remembering that the outside of the house looks just the same as how it always did. "Anyway, what else have you learned?" he asked her.
"Francis, Diana and Lien are very territorial." she replied. "They wouldn't let anyone near their rooms." she told him.
Thomas nodded hearing that, thinking that was how Lien and his sisters were. Both Thomas and Tamara would finish their glasses and then head out to continue work. Thomas would first head out to the fields and help Isabel bring the cows back from the pasture and much to his surprise, the cattle really seemed to like her. Had to be that she was a Holstaur but he wasn't too sure. He also met up with Lien who was milking goats by hand and while trying her best to be sneaky about it, couldn't hide the fact she'd take a sip of the milk. (Werecats have a love for fresh farm milk and goats milk from Hayes Farm was the best. At least Lien thought so.) Once the day was done, everyone had dinner at the table and then went to bed for the following morning.
[The Next Morning]
Thomas rolled in his sleep and noticed that it was really chilly this morning. Did he leave the window open? He got up and stretched before heading over and then freaked when he saw where he was. Somehow, he was no longer in his room, but on the roof of his family's barn. He looked around to see that the Sun was slowly rising in the distance which meant that it was morning now and he was supposed to be getting ready for work in the fields with Pa. So how the hell did he get all the way up here? That was when he heard some laughter from behind him. Turning, he saw standing on the roof with him was a Dragon girl with wings resting on her shoulders, her arms crossed and a smug looking smirk on her face, seeing his expression.
"Good morning Thomas." said Marguerite who was smiling like the cat that swallowed the canary. "How did you sleep?" she asked him.
"Marg?" he asked, still confused. "How did I get all the way up here?" he asked her.
The Dragonewt raised a brow in response. "Why, because I brought you up here of course." she replied as if that were obvious.
"How?" he asked.
He then watched as she lifted and spread open her wings which now looked a lot bigger than he thought they were. "Do you believe that these are only for looks?" she asked him back.
"But...how?" he asked again.
She then rolled her eyes before answering. "Okay, I came in through your window, lifted you out of your bed and flew you all the way up here. Does that make sense to you?" she asked him.
"R-Really?" he asked, hardly believing it.
"You're a very heavy sleeper and you're not to heavy to carry either." she replied. "And you still haven't answered my question from earlier. Did you sleep well?" she asked again.
"I slept fine I guess." he answered before looking over the side of the barn he was standing on top of. "Would you mind helping me down please?" he asked her.
Marg had him stand on the edge then she wrapped her arms around his waist. "You smell nice." she said, getting a whiff of his scent.
"Excuse me?" he asked with a blush, not sure he heard her right.
"Hold on tight." she replied before spreading her wings and then having the both of them jump off together at the same time.
Thomas was tense for a second but then relaxed a bit as she used her wings like a parachute, allowing them both to glide down slowly and easily. She then let go once both their feet were on solid ground again.
"Thank you." he told her once he felt his heartbeat returning to normal.
"Of course." she replied as her wings folded in and rested on her shoulders like they always did.
"Anyway, I heard from Miss Victoria that you found a new Host Family, but I didn't expect a visit from you so soon." he told her.
Marg raised one of her brows at that. "What do you mean by a visit?" she asked.
"Why else would you be coming here?" he asked her.
Marg didn't answer but she did smirk and keep looking at his face, waiting to see his reaction. She didn't have to wait very long at all because his questioning look changed very quickly to a startling realization as he started putting two and two together.
"You cannot be serious." he finally said to her.
"Our Coordinator is in the house right now, finishing the paperwork with Mr. and Mrs. Hayes." she replied with a sneer. "I'm so happy that Miss Victoria found me a new Host Family who has no problem at all with Dragonewts." she said to him.
"You said she's still here?" he asked getting a nod from her. "Good, because I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind." he said as he started walking off.
'This should be good.' she thought as she followed him.
Thomas turned around and headed back to his house. There was no way he was gonna let this go forward. He's already responsible for three students, there's no way Victoria was gonna drop another one on his lap and use him as a means to make her job in finding willing host families easy. He was gonna march straight up to the house, look her dead in the eye and give her a piece of his mind. Or at least he was going if it wasn't for the Kobold who'd charge out the front door when he was about to open it, tackle him to the ground, now straddling him and looking very distraught.
"Master! Please tell me it's not true! Please tell me this is just cruel sick joke!" she begged.
"As much as I love cruel sick jokes, this isn't a joke." replied Marg. "We're housemates now Fleabag and I've gotta say, this is gonna make my home stay even more interesting." she said.
"Who are you calling a Fleabag?!" Tamara shouted as she glared daggers at the Dragonewt.
"Was that a real serious question?" she asked back which got the Kobold to start growling at her.
"Ladies, please." said Thomas as he got back up. "Let's not fight, let's remain calm and work this out." he said as he dusted himself off. "Tammy Darlin, is Miss Victoria still inside with Ma and Pa?" he asked her.
"I think they're signing the papers right now." she told him.
'Well that's just fine and dandy.' he though as he marched straight up to the front door.
[Inside The House]
Jim had just finished signing the papers and handed them over to the Vampire who smiled as she read them. "I really appreciate your willingness to take in another student and on such short notice." she said to the farming couple. "It's just very difficult to find families willing to house a Dragonewt and Thomas has proven to be our most trusted Host and you, our most trusted Family." she complimented.
"Oh, not at all." replied Sally with a smile. "Our Family is more than happy to help these girls in their mission to join human society and we're glad to hear that our Son is someone you can trust with such an important job." she told her.
"Plus, we can always use another pair of hands on the farm and this will be good for them too." Jim added.
Victoria stood up and made her way, walking past Thomas, Tamara, Lien and Isabel and up to Marguerite. "Here's your new ID my Dear." said Victoria as she handed it to the young red Dragon girl. "I really hope that you enjoy your stay here on Hayes Farm." she tells her.
"I have no doubt that I will." she replied with a smirk while looking over at Thomas.
Thomas simply hung his head in defeat. What was the point? Victoria wasn't gonna listen to him anyway.
"Oh, and remember my Dear." said Victoria, getting Thomas' attention again. "No prohibited activities." she warned with a smirk as she put her shades back on. "Ta ta." she finished before heading out the door.
"Alright, who would like some breakfast?" asked Sally who was heading behind the counter to begin working on some eggs and french toast.
"Oh, I would love some Mrs. Hayes." replied Marg who then looped her arm with Thomas' and dragged him to the table. "Would you care to join me Babe?" she asked him sweetly.
Thomas' eye twitched when he heard the new pet name he'd been given. Francis and Diana didn't really seem to react to it in any extreme way and just went to the table to wait for their morning meal. Ma and Pa didn't really seem to make a fuss over it either. It was the other girls who heard her most clearly. Isabel raised a brow, being the ditsy sorta girl she was while Tamara and Lien both stood frozen for a moment, trying to fully process what she just called him. 3...2...1...
"BABE?!" they both shrieked in unison.
"What?" asked Marg with a playful smile. "You both have nicknames for him, why can't I have one for him?" she asked.
"This is just great!" complained Tamara who stomped her foot. "Now I've got another rival!" she spat while Lien was actually thinking the same thing since she wanted Thomas' affections too.
"Rival?" asked Marg. "Please. That would imply that we're on equal playing fields, to which we're not." she remarked, getting both the Kobold and the Werecat to start growling at her. Marg just smirked again at their reaction. 'This is gonna be fun.' she thought to herself.
Thomas leaned forward with his elbows on the table and placed his face in his hands. 'This is gonna quickly become another massive pain in my ass.' he thought.
Sally made everyone another delicious meal of scrambles eggs, some strips of bacon and she also made some classic oats with mixed berries added in for flavor. She also brought some nice cool and refreshing milk and orange juice so everyone could wash it down. Once breakfast had gotten started, the girls did calm down which was a very good thing mind you. Ma's cooking had a way of making everyone feel a whole lot better and to forget their troubles because Tamara, Lien and Isabel were happily eating at the same table with Marguerite and they were acting like they were never mad at her at all. While they ate though, Marguerite did wrap her tail around one of his ankles which was either to show affection or hold him prisoner.
Once breakfast was done, Jim and Thomas led everyone outside so they could begin work. They got just outside when Jim turned to everyone.
"Alright, Tommy and I are gonna work the fields this morning." he began. "We've gotta spray some pesticide over the fields to protect our corn and other vegetables from the pests that would do harm to them. So we're gonna assign some tasks for each of you to do this morning. Around noon, we're gonna meet back up for a break and a brief lunch and then we're gonna spend the rest of the day outside until the job is done. Now for your duties." he started. "Isabel, Sally and I have noticed that you do great with the cattle so we'd like for you to lead them out to the pasture so they can graze for the next several hours." he told her.
"Okay." she said cheerfully. Everyone watched as she walked over to the pen where the cows her and opened it up. "Come along now ladies." she called out and sure enough, the cattle came out and followed her as they made their way to where they enjoyed grazing.
"Tamara, Lien and Marguerite." he continued. "You three are gonna help Francis and Diana with feeding the other animals. This includes the horses, the sheep, the goats, the alpacas, the chickens, the ducks and the hogs." he listed off. "I'm sure the girls have already shown you how it's done so I trust you know what to do." he told them.
"Not a problem Dad." said Tamara.
"We'll get right on it." said Lien.
"Um, Mr. Hayes." said Marg who raised her hand. "I was kinda hoping if it was alright that I come out to the fields with you and Thomas actually." she told him.
"I suppose there's no real harm in it. But why?" he asked.
She responded by looping her arm around Thomas'. "I want to spend a little more time with my Host." she answered while smirking at how annoyed both Tamara and Lien looked off to the side.
"Alright then." he answered. "But I hope you know that it's gonna be hot out there today." he warned her.
"How bad could it be?" he asked as they all parted ways to do their chores.
She got her answer when they started working the fields and after just one hour, she thought that the heat was unbearable. What made things even more harder for her was that as a reptile, she was coldblooded and wasn't able to regulate her body heat the same way a mammal does so she was sweating heavily through her clothing now while riding behind Thomas on the tractor. She was starting to think that maybe it wasn't such a good idea to tag along just to annoy the other girls and was now wishing she just stuck with feeding the other animals. By noon, everyone would meet back up and much to her relief, Mrs. Hayes had a large pitcher of ice cold lemonade waiting fr everyone and boy did she feel like she was dying right now.
Once they all had their fill of lemonade, Marg was the first to speak. "I'm glad that's all over." she said while pouring herself another glass to bring her body heat down just a bit.
"What are you talking about?" Thomas asked her. "Our day is just starting." he added.
"What?" she asked with wide eyes.
"Farm work isn't done in only a few hours y'know." said Tamara with a smile. "We're gonna be out here at least for a few more hours." she told her.
"I'd say we're actually about a third of the way done." said Lien who was satisfied with seeing Marg's expression.
"You've gotta be kidding me." she replied, starting to regret what she just got herself into.
"Welcome to Hayes Farm." said Thomas with a smile.
[Author's Notes] Well everyone, you've met the Athlete, you've met the Princess and you've met the Ditz too. As I'm sure you can all guess, Marguerite is my personal favorite...The BITCH!
