The next morning, Maggie was waiting for Rose to bathe her in a wooden tub. While waiting, she thought of that night where she saw last night, could have been an Angel? Or just her mind playing tricks on her?
Rose entered with a sponge and soap, she's wearing a blue dress this time but her waist is still tiny, and her curly red hair is also down too,
"Good Morning Maggie." Rose smiled,
Maggie looked at the woman and smiled too, "Morning Ms. Rose,"
Rose sat down on a stool, got closer to Maggie, and bathe her in the lukewarm water.
"How did you sleep?" Rose said with a smile
Maggie shrugged as she continued looking at the water, seeing the bubbles fade and join together,
"Okay, I guess," The little girl said in standard
Rose then giggled a little bit and tried to make Maggie's morning a little more optimistic, but at the same time she wants to know what is on her mind,
"What do you mean okay," Rose said,
Maggie look at Rose straight into the eyes and with a big smile, she's been praying and her prayer has been answered,
"Well," Maggie said with a smile, "Last night, I was sleeping as you told me to. And then; I heard a big WOOSH! from outside and I saw something that looked like an angel. You know, the ones that are in Heaven with God in the sky where we all go when God told us that we are ready to see him."
Rose looked at Maggie like she was frivolous, surely, children would make up anything that they see, but Maggie looks like she's not joking, or is she? After giving Maggie and bath, Rose went to William and told him everything that Maggie saw, William then had this confused look on his face not understanding what Rose meant?
"She said what?" William said,
Rose has her arms crossed and had an anxious expression, she's worried about Maggie not sleeping enough at night, yes, she's glad that Maggie has fate in God but it's important to get enough sleep.
"She said she saw something outside and she saw something that look an Angel. Will, I'm worried about her, what if she's not getting enough sleep at night." Rose said,
William then rolled his eyes in irritation, he thought to himself, why do women care about everything, it's like they need to be the Mother Hen for everything. William is aware that Rose gets worried about the littlest thing.
"You're the one who got her into that religious stuff," He said in annoyance,
Rose then look at William as if he ran over her cat and got mad,
"You helped," Rose snapped back,
"You're the one who saves her," William said in furious,
"You're the one who wants her to be a star," Maggie said in annoyance,
"You're the Catholic one!" William said in bitterness,
"You're the smart one!" Maggie said in irritation,
William and Rose have a brother and sister relationship, they have ups and downs, disappointments, and arguments, but they make it up in the end. Maggie got dressed in a spring green casual floral lace dress, white stockings, and laced boots, she put her hair up in her pigtails braids and walked out of the caboose, and started meandering around seeing the unique people getting ready for tonights' show, she still had doubts that she would never be in the performance, so she had an idea, she decides to go to the number one person that has the wisest advice in the Sideshow Circus, Kontar the Animal Whisperer.
