Olivia: The Green Witch

Nightmares

Natasha and Olivia made their way downstairs and into the kitchen. At this point, the cooking process of dinner was wrapping up and the kids were now back from the neighbors.

"Auntie Nat!" The young boy and girl exclaimed at the sight of her. They ran over to her and hugged her, Olivia watching awkwardly.

"Hey kiddos!" Natasha smiled, greeting them. It had been a long 5 months since she last saw them. "Meet my new friend. This is Olivia."

"Hi" Olivia said shyly, noticing the kids were both younger than her. The girl had to be no more than four years old and the boy around eight.

"I'm Cooper and this is Lila" the boy said. It was obvious the kids were excited to have a new friend around their age to play with.

"Alright everyone, chow time" Clint said as Laura set the table. All four of them made their way to the table, sitting in chairs. "We've got spaghetti on the menu for tonight."

Olivia perked up, excitement showing on her face. Growing up, she rarely had spaghetti as a meal, but when she did, it was always her favorite.

Laura gave everyone a serving, including herself. Once everyone was settled at the table it was officially time to eat. "Dig in" Clint spoke, picking up his fork.

Olivia lifted her fork off the table and dug it into her mound of spaghetti, grabbing a rather large bite. Shoveling it into her mouth, she melted at the taste. Even more delicious than what she could remember. It took many moments for her to chew, but she finally managed to swallow that bite.

"This is very delicious, thank you" Olivia said, giving Clint a warm smile.

"It's no problem. I'll make spaghetti whenever you want just say the word" he said, taking his own bite.

Olivia's eyes widened. She would eat spaghetti for every meal if she could. She ate and ate until her plate was completely empty. At this point mostly everyone's plate was empty.

"I'll clean up. Kids you can go play in the play room" Laura said, starting to grab dishes.

"Here let me help" Natasha said, doing the same.

"Come with us, Olivia!" Cooper said, leading the way into the playroom.

There were many toys from trucks, to dolls, to places to climb. It wasn't like anything Olivia had ever seen before. "Wow" she said, taking in the colorful room.

"What games do you like to play?" Cooper asked her.

"Well . . . I'm not sure. I only ever had a doll made from corn husk" Olivia said, hearing how lame that sounded. "We can play whatever you like."

"Let's play hungry hungry hippos!" Lila spoke up, that being her favorite game.

"Alright" Cooper said, going and grabbing the game off of the shelf.

"I'm assuming you don't know how to play this, right?" He asked. He placed the game on the floor and opened the box, setting it up. The other two sat on the floor as well.

Olivia shook her head. "Ok here's how it works. These little white balls will roll around here" he explained, pointing. "And you have to try and get your hippo to eat as many as possible by clicking this button. Got it?"
