"Look, Ruthie fell asleep."
"We'd better get her home before your mom notices."
"Yeah why didn't my mom notice?"
"I don't know busy.... or you phone was on silent."
Margo took her phone out of her pocket.
"Yep, three missed calls from 'mom'." Margo held the phone up to her ear, probably calling her mom.
"Hey mom.......yes........I'm sorry.........I'm on my way to drop her off........see you in ten....(Margo sighed and rolled her eyes,) love you too, bye."
"What did your mom say?"
"Well at first she was really mad, then she was relieved, and then she was surprisingly sweet. To put it in a nutshell she wants Ruthie home. Now."
"Oh well I'm on my way."

We pulled up in the driveway and Margo shook her sister till she woke up.
"Where am I?"
"Quentin's van. You fell asleep on the way back from SeaWorld."
"Oh. Where's Fin?" Fin was the Mega Giant stuffed dolphin I won her.
"Here." I said handing Fin to her. She grabbed him out of my hands and hugged him tight.
"Thanks for the great day guys."
"No problem kid!" Margo said hugging her sister as they hopped out of the van.
"We'll come pick you up anytime." I said.
"Ok well you can get me out of math class anytime."
"K," Margo got eye level with her sister, "I'm gonna miss you. I'll still call you every Tuesday, k?"
"K. I'll miss you Margo. Love you!" she said hugging her sister tight.
"I'll miss you too, kid. Oh and I love you too." Margo said, hugging back. I was looking at the stars when I felt little arms wrap around my waist. I looked down, Ruthie was hugging me.
"Thanks for a great day Quentin, and for winning me the coolest stuffed animal EVER!"
"Hey, anytime." I said giving into the hug. We pulled apart and she turned towards her house.
"Moms waiting. Tell her I love her." Margo shouted as Ruthie neared the porch. Margo and I got back in the car and pulled out of the driveway. We waited till Ruthie got inside to make sure that she was safe. Just before she went in, she turned around and waved to us. We both waved back an the door closed behind her, and as soon as the door closed, we drove off.

"Where to next?" Margo asked.
"I don't know somewhere with wifi."
"Why?"
"I want to video-chat Ben."
"Bloody Ben?"
"Yeah, but he doesn't like to be called that."
"Oh. I didn't mean to be offensive."
"No it's fine you offend me, just my best friend."
"I thought I was your best friend."
"You? You're not even close." we both laughed but then it got silent.
"But seriously though I thought I was your best friend."
"We'll see." I said and she punched my shoulder.
"Ow."
"That did not hurt."
"Yes it did."
"You're full of it."
