May was outside in her front yard skipping with two girls from down the road. She smiled as she noticed Randy walking over to her.
"Hey" she called while jumping over the rope.
"Do you wanna play" he asked
May grinned at him.
"Sure" she replied.
"I thought you were playing with us!" One girl explained
"I was, I'll see you two later" she laughed
"So do you wanna go into the woods" he asked
May thought for a moment before shaking her head.
"My Daddy doesn't like me going to far, I'm not allowed where he can't see me" she told him.
"Your Dad won't know" he told her
"He'll find out" she said
"Tell him you are gonna play in my garden" he instructed her.
May's eyes went wide.
"But that's a lie!" she exclaimed
"So" he asked
"Lynny says you must never lie, you should always tell the truth" she said in a matter of fact tone.
"Well if you're too scared.." he started
May gave him a bold stare
"Bet I can get there before you" she exclaimed
"You couldn't beat me at anything" he laughed
"Ready set go" she called quickly sprinting off.
"Hey that's not fair" he yelled chasing after her.
Randy and May were sat by a stream. May had taken off her shoes and was paddling in the water while Randy was still sat sulking because he lost the race.
"Cheer up" she laughed kicking some water at him.
Randy scowled at her and May pulled a face back.
She went and sat by him.
"How old are you" she asked
"I'm seven, how old are you" he asked
"I'm five" she told him proudly.
Randy picked up a stone and threw it into the stream.
"Will you be my best friend" she asked
Randy looked at the girl next to him and smiled
"Yeah ok" he replied
He paused
"Just don't tell John and Chris, I'm not meant to be friends with girls" he added
"Ok" she said with a smile
"Is your dad scary" he asked
"No, why" she replied
"He looks it" he replied
"He isn't, he never ever hits us if we've been naughty" she told him.
"My dad's a wrestler" he told her proudly.
"What are you going to be" she asked
"A wrestler just like my dad" he told her
"That's boring,I want to be an actress because you don't have to learn anything at school" she said with a smile.
"You can't be an actress" he pointed out.
"Why not" she asked
"Because they don't let everyone be an actress"he replied
"Well they'll let me, I can do anything" she said firmly.
"What do you want to play now" he asked
May looked about.
"Oh no" she exclaimed
"What" he asked
"It's dark now, Daddy will know I've been out" she replied running back towards her house closely followed by Randy.
She knocked on her door and waited for it to be opened.
"And where have you been" Dan asked as he opened the door to May and Randy.
"Out with Randy" she replied
"Did you go far" he asked
"no" she lied.
Dan couldn't help but smile as he looked down at her. Her skirt was covered in mud and was soaking wet.
"I didn't know there was a Stream near here" he exclaimed and May gulped knowing she had been caught out.
"Are you going to smack me and put me to bed without anything to eat" she asked her lip trembling
"no not this time" he said in a stern tone although there was amusement in his eyes.
"Bye May" Randy said quickly walking back to his house knowing it would be his turn to get told off next.
May went back inside her house and headed into the living room sitting next to Lynette who was reading a book.
"Lynny will you read me a story" she asked
"No" Lynette said without looking up.
"That's mean" she exclaimed
"Lynette don't be mean to your sister" Jennifer called from the kitchen.
Dan walked through to see his wife making the dinner.
"She was out with Randy" he laughed
Jennifer smiled "those two look so sweet together"
"I can see them getting into a lot of trouble" he said smiling back at her.
Jennifer raised an eyebrow "this is May we're talking about, she get's into trouble all by herself"
"True" he admitted with a sigh looking in the living room.
May had insisted Lynette read to her but she wasn't even listening to her, she was chatting away about what she had done in the day. Lynette didn't look happy.
