A/N: I just want to say thank you for all the positive responses so far! This has been my most popular story. Anyway, I based most of this story off of The Little Mermaid 2 and this chapter is kind of like a scene from it so...yeah. Enjoy!
Chapter 3: The Arguement
Daphne couldn't stop thinking about the Stomper House all the next day. She was just so fascinated.
She went back to the top of the tree and stared out into the forest sunset. She sighed, "I wish I could be a Stomper."
"Daphne! Come on down! You don't want a Boggan getting you," MK called to her daughter.
Daphne groaned as she climbed down. "Mom, for the millionth time, you can stop pulling the Boggan card on me. I know there's no such thing as Boggans and you just told me that to stay inside when I was little."
"But, they are real!"
"How do you know? Have you ever seen one?"
MK stammered, "Well...no. But, that's not the point. You need to sleep if you want to be a good Leafman."
"Yeah...About that. Mom, you see that Stomper House in the distance?" Daphne asked, pointing to the house.
"Yes?"
"Well, do you think that you, Dad, and I could go there tomorrow?"
"No."
"Great! Wait...no?"
"That's what I said."
"Why not?"
"Because it's too dangerous all the way out there. We wouldn't make it back to Moonhaven in time before dark."
"But, I want to see it! I want to see what Stompers are like. I want to actually be a Stomper!"
MK's voice became stern, "Daphne Rosella Bomba, you are not a Stomper. You are a Leafman."
"Well, maybe I don't want to be a Leafman anymore!"
The two were silent, staring at each other angrily.
MK spoke, "Daphne, the point is you will not go to the Stomper House. It's too dangerous."
"How would you know? You've never even been to it!"
Daphne ran to her room on the verge of tears.
