"Charley!" I complained "I'm trying!" he yelled back at me. It was late august and my best friend Charley and I were going to have a sleepover in my treehouse. He slowly climbed up the ladder, "the bag's heavy" he complained throwing it onto the floor before hoisting himself into the tree house. "Why do I gotta carry it?" he groaned " 'cause I'm a princess" I said pointing to my tiara " and your my knight" I said pointing to him and thrusting my chin in the air with a sense of superiority. "Elisabeth" my dad called from the house "yes daddy " I responded "your snacks are ready" I ran down the ladder and grabbed the popcorn, s'mores and juice boxes from his hand and climbed back up into the tree house. I handed Charley a juice box and set the snacks between us before laying down on the pillows we set up. "You wanna watch Snow White?" I asked my best friend "No let's watch Mulan it's more manly" he replied flexing his pretend muscles I giggled and put the video in and nuzzled back into the pillows next to him. "I don't want to be a knight, I wanna be Prince Charming" Charley said propping himself up onto his ankles "will you be my prince charming?" I asked "ewwwww gross!" he said "please" I pleaded giving him my largest puppy dog eyes "fine" he said still looking disgusted my the notion "forever and ever" I asked "and ever" he agreed.
