I'll Find You in the Forest

Officially 18, let's hope we get to be 19...

Yes, "aunt-ish" she's actually Matthew's aunt. But since matt's family and mine are so close we basically act like we're all related. Well, at least matty-boy and I do. But now that I'm not frantically running through a forest, let me officially introduce myself, and matt...

So, let's start with the important one, ME! I'm kidding. But we are starting with me... My full name is Kendall Ann-Marie Stone! I was born on March 26. I have on older sister, Adilade and four little brothers one set of twins and two who should be twins. I'm, as you know, 18 yrs. old. I had played haple ball with my dad and uncles as a kid. Matt was always too freaked out to play, plus he's allergic to grass...and the cloth the ball is made of... So, just to recap I'm a tomboy type, brave, totally modest person.

Onto Matt, Matthew Edward Berland. He was born on March 26 is 18 years, of course, you already knew this. But, let's get to the bits you don't know... Matt is allergic to practically EVERYTHING! Grass, peanuts, tree nuts, fruits, chocolate but solid chocolate that is, oof ok be prepared to be confused... matt can eat chocolate ice-cream not chocolate bars and stuff so no chocolate chip cookies and things like that. he can only eat like really creamy milked-down chocolate. Ok, off that... Apples, apple pie/cake he can have that. no raw apples. Once, I saw him roast an apple over a fire because "there's bark pollen, I need to cook it so it dissipates," And, he's a big baby one of the reasons I call him, "Matty"

"Oh, Kendall! Kendall Ann-Marie Stone!" says my mom (my real one), "Oh look at you, 18!! Now that you're finally an adult, woman, will you wear a dress?"

"No mother! I don't want to wear a hoop skirt or corset! I like my pants! And vest AND boots! you can't change that,"

"I just wish you'd act more look like a lady!"

"No mother! Besides, it's my birthday. let me be free of your pestering for just a minute,"

"Fine dear, happy birthday!... Now, where's Matt?"

~~~

"So how's your birthday been so far?" I asked.

"It's been fine," Matt replied, "well for being chased by a monster just before," he shoved me and chuckled.

"Yeah mine's been average,"

"For being chased by a monster or just normal average?"

"Normal average"

"why?"

"Mother keeps telling me to 'act like a lady' its just annoying"

"well the party has kinda died-out, so come-on"

"Where?"

"I dunno... a forest maybe?"

"Pfft you're stupid"

"yeah yeah, I'm a big dumb baby let's go!"

He grabbed my hand a ran...
