I advise the song, but if ya don't want to that's cool I guess.

   "Come on MiMi! We're close by and you just gotta see this!" I yell at my little sister Mira. The other day I found this really cool spot and secretly got stuff set up there for the two of us to hang out. Mom and Pops went out on a date and called in a babysitter for the two of us. After reading her thoughts, I decided I didn't like her and told Mira about it, so she burned her alive. That gave us our freedom for the rest of the time.

   "I'm coming! I'm coming! Just wait for my little legs!" she responses and I stop real quick on the trail so Mira can catch up to me. I watch her bare feet run towards me as her long hair and light orange sundress flow behind her. Looking down, I see my shorts and bare feet getting all dirty from the run to this point. "What are ya even showin' me?" Mira asks now standing next to me.

    I start walking at a leisurely pace and she stays right up next to me. "Well it wouldn't be much of a surprise if I tolds ya, now wouldn't its.?"

   "I guesses so's. Are we close though?"

   "Uh-huh." As I answer,  I climb up a steep rocky part a little and turn back around to help Mira get up as well. We do this for a bit until at the top of the hill and continue for a few more minutes. A bunch more trees start to come up and so does thick, hanging moss. I push the moss out of the way and make sure to hold it a little after I pass so it doesn't close in front of Mira and she'd lose her way. Eventually we get to the spot and I tell Mira, "Cover your eyes! I gotta make sure it's still alls there."

   She giggles, "Otay otay. They're shut."

   I take her hand and guide her to the specific place and am happy to see everything still in place. "You can look now~"

   "OH WOW JJ! A tea set!"

   "Uh-huh.  I know thats you said you wanted to have your very own tea party, so I figures that I'd find a good place for us to haves one. You like it?"

   "Like it? I loves it!"

   I smile a toothy smile, even though one of my front ones are missing. "Good! Let's have some tea and biscuits while we waits for the bestest part." She nods and we both sit it the chairs I set up that's close to the cliff's edge. I pour our tea that sits on the table and she puts two biscuits on each of our plates.

   We sat there for hours talking and making jokes and stating whatever was on our mind. I had to clear up some doubt Mira had about killing the sitter, but nothing I couldn't convince her was okay. But in the middle of one of my stories, I stop myself and frantically point and tell Mira to look towards the cliff's edge. She gasps at the beautiful sight in front of us. It's an amazing sun set. 

   "Woah JJ

   "Woah JJ. You really picked a good spots for us to have the partys."

   "I knows. I tried really hard, so I'm happy you like it." My almost toothy smile returns. The two of us sit in silence as we watch the sun descend behind the mountains in the distance. Too soon though, it gets dark and I figure it's time to take Mira back.
