Here is where it gets happier :) Yay! Definitions:Preposterous-Completely contrary to nature, reason, or common sense/Conspicuous-attracting notice or attention Quick thing to think about, is Peggy's father really dead? I think yes, comment what you think dead or hiding. How will the girls get to France? Also Peggy is 18 for any confusion. DISCLAIMER: the definitions are not mine! Hope you enjoy

"We have to find him!" Shirley said eagerly. "He can save you, save me even!" How rude I thought, Peggy just said he was dead! Plus he is not your dad. I thought, sometimes Shirley said
the most preposterous things! Peggy replied to Shirley by screaming
"MY FATHER IS DEAD!" I agreed with Peggy but she was conspicuous.
"NO HE IS NOT! FACE FACTS HE IS ALIVE WHY ELSE WOULD WOULD YOUR MOM TELL YOU WHAT SHE DID TO FIND HIM!" She yelled back even louder, and if possible angrier. Peggy composed herself before replying,
"She never said to find him, just that he sent me. We can go though like I said I need to." Shirley nodded, but I could tell she was sad. I rolled my eyes at her, she needed to apologize for the screaming match, she started it more than Peggy.
"Sorry." She muttered, I rolled my eyes was that the best she could do. Peggy looked at me and I swear she saw my eye roll! She rolled hers back at me, as if to say, "I know right." Sometimes I wish I could speak, oh the things I would say, humans anger me so much sometimes. They should just get along!
Shirley sighed and went to bed lying on the ratty blanket, Peggy just got up and went over to pet me. They were calm again, so my anger was gone too. This life may not be one of a queens or rich mans, but it was mine and I was glad it was. The trains movement slowly lulled me to sleep. Sweeter than any lullaby.
