The dusty hills fell as dawn drew drakness and no sun was left in the sky.

"HEY! Old man, soda and salt and vinager flavour!" i said- a clumsy tone to my voice. The 'Old man' was MY 'Old man' my dad... We were so close it was scary.

" Right back atcha!" he said-just before a packet of SEA DOG CAPTAIN'S SALT AND VINGAR CRISPS hit me over the back of my head. A sudden spray of a very sticky liquid washed my head as a hard can hit me in the butt. I turned and gave him a childish 'you should know better-you could of killed me' frowny face before bursting into fits of laughter. I packed up my stuff in a blanket bundle and started trudeing thrugh the muddy grass land that were just infront on Flaintin Hill. I always went up to Faintin Hill with my Dad just befor dust to go star spotting and sky watching. But at the end-when it was time to go home for tea-me and my playful old man always got silly and i would always run-FORGETTING that there was a huge trench full of muddy clarts right below the hill.

"You are toast!" i said trying to make my way out of the mud and onto dry lands.

"And you're butter" he said chuckling. I love it when he chuckles-he was medium wieght but had enough fat on him so that when he chuckles or laughs his belly bounces- it really is a jolly sight to see. I took my top and shorts off and whilst in my laced bra and knickers ran up stairs and had a quick shower-i was stinking the place down. Then once done i got my jim-jams on and headed downstairs.

"You stink of pig crap-i'm seriously gonna puke" I said jokingly doing the usual head to the side throwing up movement." Ah- i can always count on my little baby for a comment" Then,knowing he stunk, came over and picked me up over his shoulder and stuffed my face in his armpit. I lunged biting his shoulder and he dropped , me without a moment to loose. We laughed and then he went and took a shower. You probably thinjk were mad-to be totally honest with you we ARE. But i love my family that includes my bonkers dad and my gorgeouse mum. My mum came in - her face white.

Dad came down- he looked concerned. She went over and whispered somthing into his ear. Then dad did somthing i would never expect. Cry. He cryed and then s did mum.

"Mum, Dad-what is it." Dad left the room.

"It's your dad he's-"

HA! A cliffhanger-please tell me what yu think!
