To begin their day, Roxy and Ryan decided on a trip to the barn. "Hurry up Ryan! I'll leave you behind!" Yelled Roxy impatiently. Ryan panted, clearly out of breath. "Rox-Rox!" A small voice called after them. It was Rosy. Rosy had recently taken her first steps and blurted out her first word- Rox-Rox. Roxy sped towards her and scooped her up. Rosy giggled, clutching Roxy's necklace. Ryan was still a meter away, even though Roxy was carrying a 10-month-old child. Advancing towards the barn, the children noticed a difference in the barn's appearance. Even Rosy looked unsure. "Lapis, Peridot?" Roxy tried. No answer. They moved on to the door.

"OH YEAH? LIKE WHAT? HAVE A BIG TEA PARTY BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW TO STAY CALM, HUH ROXY? BECAUSE YOU SEEM TO KNOW EVERYTHING IN THAT BIG HEAD OF YOUR-"
Roxy gently placed her hand over his mouth. "One, Ryan nobody said we had to have a giant tea party and two, my head is averagely sized and your head is half a centimetre larger than mine."
