As soon as they entered the student union the small four year old released herself from Evie's grip when she saw the food as she was extremely hungry and didn't care about being a bad girl anymore. She then took off running before Evie or the others could stop her.
"Food! Food! Food!" The small girl screamed out as she took off running. Evie just groaned as she was really getting sick of Mal running off. "Mal!" Evie screamed out as she went running after the four year old and the other two followed after as well.
Once the young girl ran off she ran into an older girl and boy that were students at the school. When they saw the little girl they immediately assumed she was lost as they began to ask her questions wanting to help her.
"No I'm not lost! My mommy is over there! Hi mommy!" The small girl screamed out to the two college kids as she smiled and waved at Evie who was definitely not happy as she quickly made her way over to where Mal was.
The two college students immediately looked over and their eyes widened in complete shock when they saw who the little girl was pointing at as the girl that she was pointing at looked exactly like their friend Ava but with blue hair and not just that there were two other girls standing behind her that looked exactly like Ava as well.
Evie just quickly got there as she picked up the four year old. "Mal what were you thinking! You need to stop wandering off without me!" Evie told the young girl who immediately recognized Evie was in her stern voice which meant Mal needed to up her cuteness.
"Mommy I'm sorry. I love you so so so much and I didn't mean to wander off, but I was really hungry mommy. Please mommy don't be mad at me please. I'm so sorry mommy. I didn't mean to be a bad girl. I will never do it again and I will go put myself in a timeout for being a bad girl," the small four year old told Evie while giving her sad puppy dog eyes and letting tears flow down her face.
Evie immediately softened as she looked at Mal as all anger washed away leaving Lola and April in shock at how easily Evie was letting the small girl manipulate her. "Aw Mal I can't resist it when you do that! It's okay sweetie. I'm not mad, and you don't need to put yourself in timeout okay. I just hate when you wander off because it scares me and I love you so so so much too. And I will go get you some food now, but didn't you just eat dinner at Audrey's," Evie told the small girl, making Mal smile, but quickly hide it as she knew she won again.
"No mommy I didn't like the food at Auntie Audrey's house, so I didn't eat it. She didn't have dragon nuggets! And she didn't even have strawberries either! All she had was yucky vegetables and gross chicken that wasn't shaped like a dragon and it didn't even look like nuggets! How am I supposed to eat that!" The young girl told Evie making her hold back a laugh as she found it adorable, but she didn't want Mal to think it was okay to just not eat her food because she didn't want it.
"Mal you know that you're supposed to eat your food even if it's not what you want. Now I will go get you some food now, but next time you are going to eat the food that is given to you. Deal," Evie told the young girl who just smiled and nodded.
"Deal mommy!" Mal told Evie who just smiled as she looked over at Lola and April. "Oh I'm going to get her some food can you two watch her for me," Evie asked her two sisters who were still in shock at how easily Evie let the preschooler manipulate her.
"Okay well I'm going to take that as a yes. I'll be right back," Evie told the two as she took off to go get Mal some food. Once Evie left Lola just looked at April. "You can handle her right because I saw some awesome looking scenery outside and I need to get some pics of them," Lola told April as she didn't even let April answer her before taking off.
April just sighed as she got a phone call from her boyfriend. She just looked over at Mal as she brought the girl back over to Caitlin and Dylan. "Hey um I really have to take this call would you two mind watching my sister for me thanks!"
April told the two as she took off to go answer her phone call. "Hi! I'm Mal and I'm this many! What's your name? My mommy says I'm not supposed to talk to strangers, but you seem nice," the young girl told the two shocked college kids.
Before the two college students could say anything Ava walked in as she had been running late for their study session as she had been out with her boyfriend until late. Ava didn't recognize what was going on right away as she only saw her friends and the small purple haired girl standing next to them.
"Um, am I seeing things? Or is there actually a purple haired toddler standing with you two," Ava told her friends as she had no clue why her friends had some toddler with them and better yet a toddler with purple hair. Before the others could respond Mal got upset.
"Hey! You're a meanie! I am not a toddler! I am a big girl preschooler! And I'm this many years old! I am not a baby toddler!" The young girl screamed out as she held up four fingers feeling offended that someone would call her a toddler as in her mind she was way older than that.
"Okay well that answers my question. Yes there really is a purple haired toddler in front of me. That's a relief I thought I was seeing things," Ava told the two, but she froze when the small preschooler ran away from them as she ran over to a blue haired girl that looked exactly like her.
"Mommy! Food! Yay!" The young girl screamed out making Evie laugh as she hugged Mal back. "Okay, but where is Lola and April did they leave you alone," Evie asked her small sister and Mal just shook her head no as she dragged Evie over to Caitlin, Dylan, and Ava.
"No mommy I stayed with them! And look mommy I found another you!" Mal told Evie, making Evie smile a little as she knew that Mal was talking about their sister Ava as she had been so invested in dealing with Mal and her running off that she had almost forgotten about the whole reason they were even there. To find their sister.
Just as they made it to the table with Ava, Caitlin, and Dylan, April came back over with a smile on her face as she had just finished having a conversation with her boyfriend. "Oh my gosh I just had the best conversation with Nick! Oh I just love him so much!" April told Evie and Evie just pointed to Mal.
"So you were on the phone and left our four year old sister with strangers," Evie told April and April just looked over and saw Ava sitting in shock with the two college kids she had left Mal with.
"I didn't leave her with strangers! I left her with our sister and her friends!" April told Evie and Evie was about to go off again, but a few seconds later Lola came back over as she completely changed the subject. "Hey you have to check out these new shots! They are so amazing!" Lola told Evie and April as she didn't even look up from her camera.
"Okay it's official! I've lost my mind!" Ava told the two shocked students who just nodded as they were too shocked to say anything as they were just staring at Evie, Lola, and April.
