Amy was mad. She was mad at her mommy for packing Amy's things into her Raggedy Ann backpack without asking her first, she was mad at her daddy for carrying her out of the house and strapping her into the car seat in her parent's Mercedes. She was mad at the doctor who gave her a shot so she could leave the country without getting sick (He gave her a lollipop the size of her head afterwards though, so she wasn't as mad at him as she was everyone else). She was mad at both of her parents and the flight attendant for dragging her, kicking and screaming, onto the plane.
The person she was mad at the most, though, was her daddy's boss for telling him that he could have a better job if he made his family move to England.
If Amy ever met her daddy's boss, she was going to bite him. Hard.

When the Lee's got to England and checked into a hotel, Amy sat on the bed and refused to acknowledge either one of them. After two days of this, Rose got sick of her daughter's behavior, so she scooped her daughter into her arms, carried her out of the hotel, strapped her into a car seat in their rented car, and drove out of the city. They were driving past Privet Drive, Surrey when Amy asked where they were going.
"Your father's co-worker used to live here and he told him about a little park just outside of Surrey, so we're going there."
"I don't wanna go!" she whined. "I didn't even wanna come to stupid pwace! I wanna go home!"
"Well, once you're there you might have fun; you might even meet a new friend," Rose said gently.
"I don't want a new fwiend! I have fwiends at home!"
Rose was so glad when the park came into view. She parked the car, got Amy out and took her over to the swings. Amy, however, had other ideas, since she'd seen a merry go round by the slide. "No, I wanna go on the mewwy go wound!"
Rose sighed, change course, and set her daughter down on the merry go round. She walked slowly while pulling the playground equipment with her, but she tripped and fell forward, which caused the merry go round to jerk forward.
Amy lost her balance and fell off of the merry go round and onto a little boy. She rolled off and made sure he was okay. "I'm sowwy, I didn't mean to huwt you!"
The boy sat up and said, "it's okay, you didn't hurt me."
"Oh, okay . . . . .um, I'm Amy."
"Hi Amy, I'm Remus."
"Hi Wemus," she giggled. "That's a funny name."
He blushed. "It was my Granddad's name."
"Oh, okay."
". . . Wanna go down the slide with me?"
"Okay!" she followed the brown haired boy to the slides, and after that they climbed the jungle gym together. When Rose came to say it was time to go, Amy didn't want to leave.
"No, I don't wanna go! I wanna stay hewe with Wemus!" she cries. "If we weave, I wanna come back tomowwow to pway with Wemus again!"
"Honey, he might not even be here tomorrow," sighed Rose.
A woman with brown hair and brown eyes came and picked Remus up. "We'll be here tomorrow; I bring him here every day." She offered her hand. "I'm Katelyn Lupin and this is my son, Remus."
Rose shook her hand. "Hi Katelyn, I'm Roselyn Lee and this is my daughter, Amy."
The two families said goodbye to each other and then drove in different directions. The next day Rose and Amy drove to the same park around the same time they had the previous day. Sure enough, there was Katelyn sitting on a bench watching Remus trying to make a sand castle out of the playground's sand,
Amy squirmed out of her mother's grip and ran to the little boy. Rose laughed and then went to sit by Katelyn. They both smiled at seeing how happy their children were.
Amy decided that she was going to be really sad if her daddy didn't get his new job.
She didn't have to worry, though, because at that exact moment, Rupert Lee was signing a contract in a big office (his new office) and shaking hands with his new boss. The Lee's were in England to stay. Rupert and Rose bought a house in Surrey and Amy didn't mind one bit anymore because every day, her mother took her to the park every day to see Remus.
