Kris's POV

Finally! We finally made it. I'm exhausted but completely excited. I used to come here all the time with my grandpa. Iowa is a small town where everyone knows everyone, and everything. I've been here more than enough times to know where everything is and to know everyone. As were turning onto the rocky pathway, Daniel is playing with the hair beside my face. I ended up falling asleep on his right leg. I've been awake long enough to know were here. We parked and he took the keys out of the ignition. "We are finally here." he says with a relieved sigh. I didn't move because I was too comfortable, and Daniel didn't seem to mind. After about two minutes, Taylor started knocking on the window, "Hey you didn't cut your hand for nothing, so move it." she winked, using my words from earlier. Gosh I love her. I sat up and just stared at the little place. You wouldn't find anything like this in New Orleans. Everyone is too caught up in having a good time. I mean there's nothing wrong with that but sometime I just need to get away.

I didn't even notice Daniel get out of the truck. He came to my side and open the door, holding a hand out for me. "Thank you." I said quietly with a small smile. "My dear you are always welcome." he also stated quietly but I could tell he was happy. I watched as I noticed everyone walking to the little shack. I smiled really big and ran. I ran past everyone to the small window.

"Mama Belle!" I yelled with excitement.

"Kris, baby girl, is that you?" Mama Belle said with the same excitement .

"Yes ma'am!" she rushed out of the place and came and gave me a hug.

"Oh baby girl I've missed you so much. How's Paw paw?" she asked

"He's great. Nothing has changed much. Oh Mama I miss you terribly!" I hugged her once more.

"Well don't be rude, honey, introduce me." she said with her sweet voice.

"Yes ma'am. Mama this is Taylor, Daniel, Hayden, Jeremey, and Lena." I say pointing to them. "Everyone this is Mama Belle, the sweetest lady in the state of Louisiana." I chirped happily.

Everyone said their hello's. "Now get in line and tell me what y'all want." Mama said walking back into the shack. I waited until everyone got theirs and went to get mine. "Ti-" Mama cut me off.

"Tigers blood, baby girl, I know." she smiled and made it for me.

"Thank you Mama." I smiled

"And I added a little bit of frog legs like you like it." she winked and went back to do her work. I walked to the bed of Charley, where everyone else was.

"So what flavor did y'all get." I say taking a spoonful of deliciousness.

"Watermelon." Hayden, Taylor, Jeremey and Lena all said.

"What about you?" I asked Daniel while taking another bite.

"Orange cream." he says taking a monstrous bite.

"Whoa, slow down there." I chuckle as I saw some go on his shirt.

"What flavor did you get?" he asked looking at my unique looking snowcone.

"Tigers Blood with some frog legs." I state looking at I as if I were intrigued by it weirdness. I looked around to find everyone staring at me like I was crazy, mouths slightly open.

"What? Holy crap is there a wasp behind me!" I panicked and jumped onto Charley, hiding behind Daniel. His feet hung off the edge. Now I probably looked crazy.

"What kind of flavor is that?" Daniel asked turning around I could see he was amused by my little 'show'.

"The best kind. Wanna try?" I asked holding out a spoonful for him.
