Chapter 4: The plan

The next day after the party, I rose at around 7:00 am. Brielle was at the kitchen making breakfast. MMM I can smell pancakes.

"Good morning Marie"

"Morning!"

At breakfast, I read the paper. There was a small article about the opening of a small shop near the hospital which her grandfather owned. Suddenly, I had a crazy idea, which came on me on impulse.

"Hey Brielle, what if we open a shop here at Mineral town?"

"You've got to be kidding Marie"

"Why not? You took a business course at college and I took a small course in cooking. What more could you ask for?"

"Well, I think you have to consult your grandfather about that"

I quickly finished breakfast, grabbed a pen and started writing:

AUG.27, 2010

Dear Grandfather,

Hi! We are having a blast here at mineral town. I wanted to ask you something very important, with your permission; would it be possible for Brielle and me to open a shop here? No jokes. Hope you are doing well

Your loving granddaughter,

Marie.

I tried to make my letter sound as grown-up-ish as possible.

"Hey Brielle, I'm gonna send this letter first."

"Be safe"

After sending the ever so important letter, I came across Kai on the beach.

"Hey there Kai!"

"Hey"

"Were where you yesterday? you missed out on a lot of fun."

"S-sorry, I had a delivery for my store. I couldn't just leave."

"Oh" I said looking disappointed

"I'll make it up to you, how does tomorrow at my shop, around 5:00 sound like?"

"Alright. See you tomorrow" I waved

When I went home I immediately to Brielle the news.

"So tomorrow night,eh?" she asked suspiciously

"Yeah why, is there a problem?"

"I can't believe you forgot about game night! "She complained

"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. Can't we move it the next day?"

"Fine"

No matter how polite and nice Brielle is, she loves to play with video games and when she does not get her video games, she cries like a baby.
