Toren POV

Me and Roberto sat outside after stealing popsicles and scaring mom to pieces. "So your mom wants us to come in to dinner in three hours time?" Roberto asked. I nodded as he went back to licking his cherry popsicle. I smiled as I remembered how we got the popsicles.

Roberto: But your base is only 5 miles away! (pointing to a map in mom's room) Can we please go?

Raven: No and I'm not risking any chances that you'll get hurt!

(They walk to the kitchen)

Roberto: Please????????!!!!!!!

Raven: No! (Sees Toren at the freezer with popsicle box) Not until after your appointment! Or after dinner!

Toren: (Hides popsicles in hoodie pockets as they join shoulders and hands Roberto one)

Raven: (puts box back up and turns around) You going to act like I didn't see that?

(They head out the door)

"Wanna work on the mud fort?" I asked Roberto. He looked up and put the water hose down. He nodded as I walked towards the backyard.

Once the mud fort was done getting built, army men hung from sticks and pencils. A frog was fenced in by a load of rocks. We used sticks to make two slingshots. One for each person.

"BUNZI!!!!!!!!!!" Roberto yelled as I let go of the rubber band. "OH MY GOD!!!!!" I shouted as the toy soldier flew across the yard. "Nice shot!" Roberto said, congratulating his Norwegian friend. He got up and retrieved the toy soldier for his turn to shoot it. "Guys, come in to rest!" Tord shouted from the back door. Oh good, his fever is gone! Roberto removed the rock from the top of the frog fence. "What should we do with him?" Roberto asked. "Wanna burn him?" I asked smiling. Roberto sneered and grabbed the frog and set him in the trash burning barrel. "Ready to set fire?" I asked. "Ready when you are!" He said smiling at his Norwegian friend.
