A yell wakes me up and i jump out of bed. I see the the yelling comes from the kitchen and i run towards it.
Once i'm there i see Emma holding her hand and crying. " what happend?" I ask whit an hurry. " i burned my hand"she cries. I pick up her arm and hold it under the tap. I turn on the cold water and look at the impact.
A small red burn forms on her left hand "is it better" i ask her worried. "Noo it still hurts" she whines.
"Of course it hurts, how did it happen?" I ask her once again. "Well.. i tried to bake an egg but it didn't go well" she cries.

I wrap a bandage around her hand and bake some eggs whit out burning myself. After we're done whit eating i do the dishes and pick a paper from the closet.
I grab the pen out of my pocket and sit in front of Emma. "What's that?" She asks. "What do you think?" I say. She just shrugs " well i though what is the best way to change the world and the system, by making people think.
And we can do that by making posters and just hang them up everywhere" i suggest. "Omg yes we can do that let's start now" she says exited. I gather some drawing and painting stuff and we begin. I pain whit black letters "Why do I, a woman need a licence when men don't" . I show it to Emma "do you like it?" I ask. "Hell yeah, lets make a hundred of them" she responds. And we did make a hundred of them.

I put on a pretty dress and grab our posters and some tape. "Let's walk this time" Emma says. I close the door and we head out. We have already done about 50 " we are on the half, i like it this is fun" i say laughing to Emma. "Yess it's good to not do something by the book"she says. When we are on one of our last ones, a man walks to us and looks at the poster "what is this" he says whit a frown. "A poster can't you see?" Emma says to him whit an attitude.
" what did you say" he says when looking at her. "A poster are you deaf" i say backing her up. "This is so dumb, of course women need a licence" he chuckles. "Why, i worked for MY money" i say. "Well how else do we keep the ladies obedient, we should actually do more"he responds. "You really think your'e are all that don't you" i say back and cross my arms. "You shouldn't backtalk woman" she says whit an angry tone "come on he's not worth it" Emma pulls me away but i stand still "no he shouldn't be able to talk shit about woman and get away whit it" i state.

The man walks up to me and rips whit his right hand the poster of the wall and into it it two pieces. "Yes i can,and you're going to pay for making me angry" he says gripping me by the collar . I see his hand swinging out and i wait for the impact but to my surprise it doesn't come. I open my eye and look at what stopped him from hitting me, i see another hand that stopped his hand from hitting me.
Next to the poster ripping man stands another man lets call him the poster saving man. "Calm down man, hitting a girl in public isn't the best thing to do on a Tuesday"he says whit a subtle laugh in it. The poster ripping man let's go of my collar but instead he grabs my wrist. "No she made me angry, what should i do just let het run off?"he says. "Why don't i treat you a beer man , and you let her go" poster saver grabs my wrist and let's me go.

I quickly step back and pick up my poster from the floor. Then i pull Emma whit me and we walk around the corner "girl, i told you that he wasn't worth it" she says to me. "I know and i should have listened but i was so stupid to not do, did you see how young that boy looked, he can't be older than 20 or even 19" i tell her. "I knoww but he was kinda nice"she gives me a wink. "No, nein, non, na'ah and nope he just didn't want to see anything happen on the streets that's all" i deny. "If you say so" she says whit a smirk. I glare at her, "let's continue whit the posters i won't let any paper go to the waste". I say and whit that we just continue to tape posters to the wall. Once we are done i say "since it's only like 2pm we should grab a bite to eat".
" yess,and after that we should go like shopping get matching outfits" she says exited.
We wak back to my house and i grab my wallet and a coat after that we go out on the streets. We go to this french cute bakery. We sit down by a window and look at the menu. "Ehm can i get the croissant and a orange juice  please " the waiter nods and looks at Emma and she says "ehm for me a croissant whit chocolate and a coffee please" . "Alright coming up" then the waiter walks away after a few minutes the waiter comes back and gives us our food. "That was fast" i say.
Emma nods and i hear a mumble, i can't understands what she says because her mouth is full of food. Te food was delicious and i know i didn't get much because after the incident i did not have much appetite. I walk up the the cashier and i give out my card "do you have a l-" he tries to say but i quickly say "yes this is his card and he gave it to me alright" the cashier believes me and just continues whit his work.

I call for Emma and she stand sup from the chair and we walk to the door. Almost out of the door i ask a random person where the nearest centrum is and he gives directions. We walk about 20 min and then turn left to see a giant centrum. We almost run in out of excitement and turn to the closes clothing shop. Then we try on some clothing but it just doesn't fit or it is to ugly and go on. Then we turn by a cute small shop and i look through the window and i smile " this is so cute, let's take a look in here" .
"Suree"Emma agrees. We walk into the shop and all i see is clothes in all colours. We try on some really cute matching dresses and bought a pair. Then we find some cute shops whit bracelets and stuff "omg we could like match a whole outfit" Emma says. I nod we choose out some really adorable bracelets and necklaces. "I can't wait to be home and try out this whole fit"Emma says. 

We walk back home and i see that the sun is setting down and i know that i wont be safe at night. I smile ,as i see the posters still hanging on walls. Then i look to my left and see that a mother and her child stand still at my poster i stop in my tracks and give a nudge to Emma. "Look at this, it is so adorable" i say in awe. "What is she doing" Emma asks . " how should i know lets take a look" we walk to them and approach them "hello ma'am do you know what this is" Emma asks not giving that we made them. "No but it looks like a statement" she tells us.
Her daughter then asks "mommy whats a statement?". "Well darling, a statement is when someone has an opinion and is speaking the truth. And if they want to say it out loud then it is a statement" she explains. I'm very confused about how she explains it but i would probably do it too. Then Emma and i say goodbye and i look to my right and see a group of men shredding some posters apart. But i let it go and don't cause a scene. We arrive back safely at home and i ask Emma what she wants to eat and she suggest something simple so i cook some some rice and chicken and vegetables. We eat and i like this dish very much so afterwards u just write it down in case i don't forget.
"What should we do tomorrow" i ask Emma. "I don't know  what do you want". " i'm asking you but i would want to go and get some books, and i want to figure out our next step. We could like write it in the newspaper." I suggest to her. "Ehm you'd think they would allow it in the newspaper. I don't think so" she says. " we could get an job there" i say . "You are a genius and we'd make some money and we make an messages to the men who think that they are superior" she makes a face mocking the man who have either hit me or tried to hit me. "Let's try on our matching outfit"i say. We run upstairs and try on the outfits.

"Omg i love them" Emma squels . "I do too"i say. After talking and talking and some more talking we decided that it would be the best if we'd go to sleep. We say goodbye to each other and i walk to my room i put on my pj's and i realise i'd forgotten about the real world because i'm quite satisfied about my life now , but do they miss me in the old world? Do my mom and dad have a - missing poster- out for me?. Well it is what it is and i think something brought me here for  a goal and im going to fulfil it.
