Hello! So I have nothing to tell you so here's the next chap!

Piper 4. Tristian's POV

I'm half way through memorizing my lines for a small local play when I get a call. I pick up the phone and answer.

"Hello?" I say.

"Hello, this is Webster Pre-School. Is this Tristian McLean speaking?" A voice recognize as Piper's teacher, Ms. Lancaster says.

"Yes, this is he." I reply

"I am calling because your daughter, Piper, has been throwing up and feels sick." She says.

"I'll be right down to pick her up." I say and hang up. Five minutes later I'm there and Piper's standing outside and looking misarable.

"Hey sweetheart." I say to her.

"Daddy." She says, looking like she wants to cry.

"C'mon. Let's go home." She nods and I put her Minnie Mouse backpack over my shoulder and pick her up. When we get home, I  help her change her into her pajamas and put her on the couch along with her teddy bear and a bunch of pillows and blankets. I take her temperature and the little screen says 101.00.

"Yep, you're staying home from school for the next few days."I say to her. She nods absent mindedly. 

"Can I have something to eat?" She asks.

"Sure. I'll get something easy on the tummy ok?" I say.

"Ok." she says and I turn of the TV to keep her occupied. Now I am presented with a problem. Piper does not like chicken noodle soup,  unlike most 4 year olds do when they are sick. Nor tomato because "It taste gross, like yucky stuff." So that's out. I keep thinking for a few more minutes before I see black beans in the pantry. I decide to go out on a limb and try to make black bean soup. After Googling the recipe and making it the best I could, I bring a bowl of it to Piper.

"Here you go, Pipes. Hope you like it." I say with a smile.

"Thanks Daddy." She replys. She takes a sip. And then another. And another. Pretty soon it's all gone. "Can I have somemore please?" She asks

"Sure. I'll go get some."

"Thank you Daddy." She says. Internally, I began celebrating. I finally found something that I can actually make that she likes! Now to get Piper all better...

Tada! Hope you like! So me and my friend went to see Insurgent today and I have so many mixed feelings. HELP I HAVE THE-BOOK WAS-BETTER-ITIS!
