"Nyla stop!"

"Noooooo I want Benny here!", she screamed crying falling out on the bed kicking her legs.

Miranda went over to take her Elsa doll and Nyla slid off the bed like a snake very dramatic. "You'll get it back when you act right", she said putting it up in the closet.

Nyla folded her arms pouting sitting on the floor.

Miranda went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. As she was washing her face Nyla got up and managed to open the door to the hallway and walked out.

"Nyla?!", Miranda said under the water as she was washing her face. She grabbed the towel to her face as she ran out the bathroom looking around the room. "NYLA?!", she yelled down the looking both ways and saw nothing.

"Well aren't you a pretty little thing!", some old lady said as Nyla ran onto the elevator. "Where are your parents sweety?"

Nyla shrugged her shoulders putting her hands up.

The elevator doors opened to the front lobby and she saw the breakfast room running into it. "Oooh chocolate chip waffles", she jumped up and down.

"Would you like some little.....what is your name cutie?"

"Yes and I'm Elsa!", she spent around swinging her braids.

"Okay Elsa. One chocolate chip waffle for you. Anything else?"

"Yes milk please! Thank you!", she took her plate covered her waffle in syrup then skipped to the sitting area spilling milk along the way.

Nyla was stuffing her face spilling syrup all on her pajama onesie. 

"NYLA!!!", Miranda yelled through the lobby limping because now her ankle was hurting really bad.

"Miranda! What's wrong? Where's Nyla?", Ben said getting up from laying on the couch facing the fireplace. He heard her yelling and jumped up.

"I don't know I can't find her. She got mad and started crying when you left out and I think she left out to go and find you", she said frantic and Ben had to place his hands on her shoulders for her to calm down.

"Relax well find her. You go that way checking everything that opens and I'll go this way. Okay?" Miranda nodded limping away.

"BENNY!", Nyla smiled putting her arms out with her sticky fingers. "Nyla why did you leave Miranda? It's not safe for you to be by yourself."

"Sorry Benny!", she put her head down feeling bad.

"Did you leave looking for me?"

"Yes!", she said teary eyed.  "Am I in trouble?"

"Most likely yes, but she'll be glad that you're okay. Come on let's get you back to Miranda and cleaned up."

"Okay Benny!", she jumped down from the chair grabbing his hand making it sticky.

"Miranda!", he yelled seeing her go into the pool area. "I found her."

"Nyla you know better. I was worried sick that someone took you! Don't ever do that again. Do you hear me?"

Nyla had crocodile tears.  "I'm sorry!" Miranda hugged her tight.

"Thank you Benjamin!"

"No problem!", he said before walking away to his things.

Miranda picked up Nyla and they both looked at Ben then at each other. She walked into the elevator and just as the doors closed she hit the open button and Ben was standing right there.
