Mandy and Mindy --Highlights of the previous chapter--

Mindy put every ounce of her being into those many long paragraphs and run-on sentences, and each word was full to the brim with emotion. As Mindy spoke, she grew happier, and each word delivered more joy...Meanwhile, Mandy listened patiently, and became somewhat saddened with every word. Soon, the grief became too much for the 4-year old girl to handle. There was only one way that Mandy knew to stop her tears...and it was so easy, too...

"Shut up."


Mindy was stabbed by Mandy's rudeness. People often used that horrible language to her face, and this wasn't new, but she felt, strangely, betrayed. She had spilled her heart to this girl she had never meet before, and she had responded with kindness. A few seconds before, she felt like she was the happiest girl in the world, and now she felt exactly the opposite. A friend (remember, she's four, so she has the same regard towards friendship that Billy has when he's friends with Grim. If you're nice for a second, you're a friend) had betrayed her, and she could not forgive a crime as horrendous as that. Mindy would mock Mandy for the rest of her life by reminding her how happy she could have been, if not for the two words that sealed her fate.

She shook her fist in blind rage and stormed away. If only she could have someone to help her accomplish her task, then life would be bliss. However, for now, she needed a plan. For that, she needed the help of someone smart...
