Charlie and Lola: Soren Lorenson's Problem.

Soren Lorenson's Problem

"I have this little sister, Lola. She is small, and very funny. Right now, she is playing with her imaginary friend, Soren Lorenson. "

They were both blowing raspberries.

"Bffffft! Hehe! Your go Soren Lorenson!"

"Bfft"

"That was oh so quiet Soren Lorenson. In fact, you've been oh so quiet all day. Is something wrong?" asked Lola

"Oh, uh, yeah, I'm fine."*sniff*

"Soren, if somethings bothering you, you can tell me."

"Really Lola, I'm fine. Come on, let's play"

"Oh. Ok."

Marv was over, so him and Charlie played a video game.

"Yeah!" cried Marv

"Oh well, you won. I'm thirsty. Let's get some pink milk"

Lola and Soren Lorenson were also drinking pink milk, though to Charlie and Marv, none of Soren's pink milk left his glass, even though he was drinking.

Is that extra glass for Soren Lorenson Lola?" asked Charlie

"Uh huh."

Why isn't he drinking? asked Marc

"But he is! You just can't see!"

Soren Lorenson sulked silently.

Now, him and Lola were playing in her bedroom. They were playing cars. He was slowly moving a car back and forth.

"Are you absolutely sure you're ok?" asked Lola

"Yes. I'm fine." said Soren Lorenson

Lola continued noticing things throughout the day. Everything her and Soren did, Soren did quietly and sadly.

When they were playing Legos, he built slowly.

When they drew drawings, he drew slowly.

When they played outside, he sat in the fetal position.

They were both now in the bedroom.

"Soren Lorenson, come on. Tell me what's wrong. Its ok."

*sniff* "Lola..."

"What?"

"Am, am I real?"

"What do you mean Soren Lorenson?"

"Am I just imaginary, or am I real? I want to be real, but I'm not sure if I really am just imaginary."

"I'm scared"

"Aw, don't be scared Soren Lorenson. I'm here." said Lola

*sniff* "I feel so alone."

"I know! Charlie can help!"

Charlie and Marv were arm wrestling in the kitchen.

"Charlie, Charlie!" said Lola

Charlie's arm slammed on the table.

"Ah!"

"YEAH! Uh, sorry Charlie. You alright?" asked Marv

"Sssss, ow, yeah, I'm fine. Now, what is it Lola?"

"Soren Lorenson is upset, and I need your help!"

"Oh, ok. I'm coming."

They both walked to the bedroom. Soren Lorenson was sitting on Lola's bed, of course Charlie couldn't see him though.

"Lola, you know, I cant help if I cant see him." Charlie sat on the bed.

"All you have to do Charlie is think. You know what he looks like. Think Charlie, think!"

Charlie closed his eyes. He thought hard. When he opened them, he couldn't believe his eyes.

He could see Soren Lorenson.

"Lola uh, tells me somethings bothering you. What is it?"

"I-I'm scared. I'm not sure if I'm even real! I want to be, but I don't know. I feel, alone."

"Hmmm. I know! Lola, could you-" *whispers into her ear*

"Oh, thats a great idea Charlie!"

"Lola closed her eyes and thought. Then, a man with a mustache and sweatervest, and a woman with a dress appeared in front of Soren."

"Soren Lorenson, meet your parents!" said Lola

"Mum, dad?"

"That's right son. It's us." said the dad

Soren Lorenson ran up and gave them both a big hug.

"I missed you guys so much!"

"Wait a minute. So you knew you had parents?" asked Charlie

"Yes. But I haven't seen them for a while.

"But we're here now love." said the mum

Thank you Charlie, and thank YOU Lola." said Soren Lorenson. He gave Lola a hug.

"You're welcome Soren Lorenson." said Lola

"Now you won't be alone, cuz when we're done playing, you can go home to your mum and dad!" said Lola

"Speaking of home. It's about time we were off. Goodbye." said the dad

"Bye Lola, see you tommorow!"

"Goodbye!" said Charlie and Lola
