(The Four Cousins)

*April 5th, 1941*

*12:31pm*

*Wichita Kansas*

It was a very beautiful yet humid day in Kansas as Anya, Catherine, and Daisy were sitting on the porch of the farm as they stared at the beautiful landscapes in complete awestruck.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you both that my friend is coming over as well, Her name is Katie but she is a bit quiet and shy but once you break that ice then she'll warm up to you" Daisy had spoken to her cousins as her words were met with great joy from the pair.

"Really? That's wonderful! It's been almost two years since I've seen my cousin so I hope she's doing well but I believe Anya has met her as well but they were rather young…" Catherine had spoken back to Daisy as she sat up in the process to look at Anya who raised her eyebrow.

"I do recall meeting Cousin Katie when I was a kid but I don't remember much of her but I'll be glad to reconnect with her but what time will Katie arrive?" Anya had asked both of her cousins in response to the news as she awaited for an answer as this prompted Daisy to speak.

"She'll arrive in less than ten minutes but we did manage to get ready for the day so that's a load outta of our backs" Daisy had responded back to her cousin as she chuckled at her answer as this caught both Anya and Catherine by surprise as they didn't expect their cousin to arrive so soon.

"Ten minutes?! You gotta let us know in advance next time, okay? We don't wanna have guests arrive when we're still in our pajamas or something!" Catherine had advised Daisy in a slight stern tone of voice as her words made Daisy blush in embarrassment as she nodded her head in agreement as she turned her direction over to Anya.

"Cuz, How's the city life? I know that things can get pretty hectic for you but I'm hoping it's going well" Daisy had asked Anya with a smile on her face as she awaited for an answer.

"The city life has honestly been good and quite interesting, like I've met so many wonderful people and even made a teacher friend! Her name is Miss Joyce but besides school, I haven't seen her much these days" Anya had answered back as her words made Daisy feel more happy that her cousin was doing well.

"I'm glad to hear cuz, It honestly gets pretty lonely around here so it makes me warm that you, Catherine, and Katie are visiting.." Daisy had spoken back in a warm tone of voice as she and Anya shared a smile together as they suddenly heard a voice calling out to them.

"C-Cousins? I-It's a pleasure to see everyone…" Katie (a young 14 year old girl with blonde hair, black eyes, and wore a pretty dress) had spoken to her cousins in a polite tone of voice as this prompted the three cousins to run towards Katie.

"Cousin Katie! It's wonderful to see you! I know it's been years but I'm blessed to see you again" Anya had greeted Katie as she ran and gave Katie a warm hug as she returned the favor back before releasing each other from the hug.

"Thank you so much! I do remember seeing you when I was a kid but I'm blessed as well to meet you once again" Katie had spoken back to Anya with a smile on her face as she turned her direction to Catherine and Daisy as the trio shared a warm hug before speaking amongst each other.

"Catherine, Daisy! How's it going? It's been quite some time since we've seen each other so I hope that my presence is still welcoming after all of these years" Katie had spoken to her cousins as her words were met with warm smiles as Daisy started to speak.

"I've been doing good! Just tending to the farm animals while going to school as well but I've been doing well cuz!" Daisy had spoken back to Katie as she awaited her answer.

"Wonderful! There's a special event going on in the city as well and it would be wonderful for everyone to come!" Katie had spoken back to Daisy in an upbeat tone of voice as those events brought a smile to Anya's face.

"I never knew Katie was so upbeat but I'm glad she's able to express herself in front of her loved ones.." Anya had thought to herself as she smiled at the events that were going on as she saw Daisy, Catherine, and Katie coming towards her.

"Cuz, Do you wanna go to the annual spring festival tonight? I think it's gonna be fun plus it's gonna create special memories of us as well" Daisy had asked Anya in an excited tone of voice as she awaited her answer.

"Of course! I would love to come to the festival! I think it's perfect for the four of us to bond!" Anya had answered back as this brought faces of joy to everyone's faces.

"Perfect! I'll be sure to let my parents know and we can get things rolling so let's all get ready for tonight!" Daisy had spoken to her cousins in a tone of excitement as she and the girls ran towards the house with happiness in their hearts as they were eagerly excited for the upcoming festival.
