In the back of small, old, chipped paint white house a silhouette stands
cracking a whip with a fedora placed on their head. Well, you can only
assume who it is. Suddenly the whip snaps back at it's owner a small cry
was let out, but it was not deep like a man's, as a matter-of-fact it
sounded quite feminine. A screen door slams open as Indiana Jones steps out
to rush over to his daughter.
"Star, what are you doing?" he asked half harshly half concerned.
"Nothing," Star said quickly as the wind blew hair over her face where the
whip and snapped back and withdrew blood, and she hid the whip behind her
back.
Indy noticed the blood mixing with her hair. He quickly moved the hair from
her check and examined the cut. "What did I tell you about messing with
that whip?" he asked trying to sound mean, without much luck.
"Uhhhhh..that I shouldn't use yours," she said.
"Well, who's is that?" he asked.
"Mine," he reply was short and simple.
He shook his head. "Alright, no whip from now on. I want you practicing
with a rope if you must you must practice at all," he told her.
"Oh come on Indy," she whined. Indy had told her not to call him "dad"
because it made him feel old, but Star did not mind. She felt more adult
and that made her happy, not that she did not mind being fifteen.
"No," he said firmly. Who knew how long he could keep her from getting her
way.
"Oh. Alright. I'll go cook dinner," she muttered and went inside.
Indy was left alone with his thoughts, outside. Perhaps she needs someone
to teach her to be more like a women. She's beautiful, but if she keeps
this up I'll have a miniature female version of Indiana Jones on my hands.
Maybe I should settle down. Perhaps a mother figure would suit us nicely.
Indy thought staring at the door where Star had just entered the house.
