(Emma and Helen)

*May 16th, 1941*

*9:45 am*

*Day of the Festival*

*Jackson Private Academy*

Anya's group was sitting on one of the benches as the festival was going strong with many people engaging in fellowship and fun with music playing in the background. "So, you must be one of Emma's friends, right? Well I'm Helen Anderson, It's a pleasure to meet everyone here" Helen had spoken to everyone as she had shaken hands with everyone at the table.

"It's wonderful meeting you as welI and I truly enjoyed your entrance back there. It was quite spectacular" Anya had spoken back to Helen in awestruck as her comments made Helen smile back.

"Thanks! I'll always make sure to make my appearances extra special but is there anything yall wanna do? We have the whole day so It's best to not waste it" Helen had spoken back to Anya and the others as she waited for her answer.

"I know my friend Claudia is running one of the game booths so we could pay her a visit and try out one of the games if that's okay with everyone" Charlotte had suggested to everyone as this was met with everyone nodding their heads in agreement.

"Sounds like a good idea to me so let's head to where Claudia is at" Mary had chimed in as this was followed by a clap which belonged to Helen who had a smile on her face.

"Perfect! Let's head over to where she's currently at and we can officially get this day started!" Helen had spoken out to everyone in full support as she and everyone else had gotten up from their seats to walk over to one of the booths in which Claudia was currently at.

"I guess I'll be the leader since I know my way around the academy so everyone please follow me, okay?' Calvin had advised everyone as he and the others officially began to make their way towards the destination as Emma stopped in her tracks which was noticed by Helen who had gone back to talk to her.

"Anything okay, sis? You were just happy a few minutes ago but you're pretty quiet now" Helen had asked her little sister as she was met with Emma nodding her head indicating that she was okay.

"I'm doing good, It's just that I'm worrying that Judith is somehow gonna ruin my day like she's always ruining things for me, It's truly not fair…" Emma had opened up to Helen as her response was quickly met with the older sister placing her hands on her shoulders in comfort.

"Hey, Don't worry about her! Today is a good day and you must enjoy it while you can! You're my little sis, I won't allow anyone to take your joy away so you better enjoy this day, okay?" Helen had spoken to Emma in a tone of motivation as this caused her little sister to smile more.

"You're right, I should enjoy today since my wonderful friends and big sister are with me so I should focus on the good things but thank you so much for checking up on me, I truly appreciate it" Emma had spoken back to her sister as she quickly formed a smile on her face before hugging her older sister.

"I love you so much, my sweet little sis. I don't want you to allow those fools to get the best of you, okay? I know I'm always busy but I'm always a call away" Helen had further advised her little sister as the pair released each other from the hug.

"I love you so much as well and I will always talk to you whenever I'm feeling down or in general but thanks for cheering me up, I truly appreciate it" Emma had spoken back to her older sister as she felt herself feeling much better than before as she quickly noticed that her friends were nowhere to be seen.

"Oh no! We were so caught up with each other that we lost track of my friends! I'm sorry for getting us lost.." Emma had spoken out as she had her face down however Helen appeared unfazed by the chain of events.

"It's okay, All we need to do is to catch up to them, right? It's best to simply look around until we find them" Helen had suggested to her little sister as this was met with Emma nodding her head in agreement.

"Wonderful! Let's began our search for your friends!" Helen had spoken out once more as she and Emma had officially begun to walk towards the direction in which Anya and the others were walking as they tried to find the rest of the group.

"They shouldn't be too far ahead so we just gotta keep going straight towards the hallway entrance since I do recall seeing them going to that direction" Emma had pointed out as she looked over towards the hallway which caused Helen to have an idea.

"You're right, Maybe if we go straight in which leads to the hallway than maybe we'll catch up with your friends so let's give it a shot!" Helen had replied back to her little sister as the pair had officially made their way towards their destination as they had full faith that Anya and the others were gonna be waiting for them as they eventually made it to the hallway entrance.

"I think I see them waiting in line! This means we've caught up with them" Emma had spoken out in a tone of joy as she and Helen opened the doors to reveal that the people were indeed Anya and her friends which brought smiles to Emma and Helen's faces.

"Oh, We were wondering where you and Helen went but we're glad that ya'll didn't get lost or anything" Mary had spoken out as she had taken a bite from a chocolate bar while Charlotte waved at them.

"Sorry for being late, Me and Helen was talking for a bit but we're doing good!" Emma had spoken to Mary and the rest of her friends as she had a smile on her face.

"So, how's New York and everything so far? I hope you're enjoying the stay' Charlotte had asked Helen as she waited for her answer.

"So far, everything's going and feeling great! The people's nice and I get a chance to meet my wonderful little sis and her friends as well so I'm having a great time!" Helen had answered back in a joyful tone of voice as this brought a smile to the faces of Charlotte, Mary, and Emma.

"I'm so glad! It makes me truly happy when the people that I care about is feeling great!" Charlotte had spoken back with a warm smile on her face as the girls shared a small laugh together as this was seen by Emma.

"My sister is right, I have my days where I feel sad or hopeless due to Judith's constant bullying however there's one thing she'll never take and that is my wonderful sister and friends. I won't let the people that I care about down.." Emma had thought to herself as she was looking forward to the amazing day that was in store for her.
