Corbyn bent down to talk to me.
CB~ hey, it's alright Marlee. She's really nice. Your gonna love her!
I shook my head, I had met a lot of people already. Corbyn picked me up but I'm the process I dropped Geoffrey. I started crying. Bean patted my back and tried to calm me down.
CM~ hey Marlee, here's your giraffe.
Christina handed me my giraffe and gave me a reassuring smile. I stopped crying and held my giraffe tight. I hid my face into Bean's shoulder, getting his shirt wet from my tears. He bounced me around gently, comforting.
CM~ princess, would you like to get some snacks? That might make things better!
I smiled and nodded, then whispered to Corbyn:
M~ I can we get some cookies?
He laughed.
CB~ of course Marlee! Let's head back to the car. Ok?
I nodded, Corbyn put me down. I held his fingers as we headed to the elevator to go to the car. Christina helped me get in my car seat. I still didn't want to talk with her yet though. We got to the store, Jack got a cart and placed me in the seat of the cart. Jonah pushed that one as Corbyn pushed another one. Zach and Daniel were already on their way to find chips. I had never had chips... Corbyn went to get some pop something. Jack filmed a video thingy on his phone of us walking through the store. I think he called it a vlug? Or something like that... oh! Cookies!
M~ Yonah! Cookies!
I pointed to the isle of cookies, Jonah pushed me over. He bounced my curls as we waited for the others. I was giggling like crazy as they came over.
CM~ pick out anything Marlee, I'll get it for you.
She smiled. I looked at Jonah to make sure it was ok. He nodded then thanked Christina.
M~ umm... the oweos and da choc-choc- those ones
I pointed to the ones I didn't k ow how to say. Corbyn put them in our cart and headed towards the back of the store. We followed him with our cart. I was bored. I tugged on Jonah's sleeve, he turned around and faced me.
JM~ yes little one?
M~ I-i-i- I wanna play a game!
He laughed, taking out his phone, and handing it to me. He had opened to an app thingy that was a princess! You got to give her a makeover! I made the princess look like me with curly hair and blue eyes! I wanted to show everyone so I patted Jonah's shoulder.
JM~ yes little one?
M~ can you show everyone my princess?
He smiled as I handed him his phone.
JM~ please everyone, look at this princess my little princess made!
The boys and Christina gathered around to see the pretty princess I created!
CB~ so pretty Marlee!
CM~ girly! She's almost as pretty a princess as you! Now, any other snacks you want?
Corbyn raised his eyebrow weirdly. He wrapped his hand around Christina's waist.
CB~ not to quote Eben or anything but you looking like a snack!
He kissed Christina.
M~ ewwwwwwwwww! Yucky!
Everyone laughed at me. I laughed back though.
Z~ hey yo, guys, we gotta get to rehearsal! Let's go! Hurry!
The boys started throwing snacks into our carts, then pushing us towards the checkout, they paid and got to the car. Dani took me out and buckled me into my car seat. Once we got to the place for rehearsal Daniel got me out and everyone else got the snacks.
D~ let's go sweet girl, Christina will watch you. Ok?
M~ b-b-but wha if I want to come wif wou?
D~ you can watch Mar!
I nodded, hugging Daniel's neck tight. We went inside the realllly y'all building and walked to a stage. There was a room where we could put our snacks, after Dani handed me to Christina.
D~ she needs to take a nap for at least thirty minutes. An hour would be great. Aright! Bye girlys!
The boys went behind the stage to get microphones. Christina and I sat in a couch so we could see and hear them. I curled up on her lap and took my nap.

Hour later
I woke up hearing the song Zachy sang to me the other day! Christina was singing along so I sat up and started singing the parts I remembered. Christina got her phone out to text someone. Oh. Wait. She's videoing me!
M~ we got something, something, we got something different!
I jumped off the couch, grabbing Christina's hand. We danced around, shaking our butts. We clapped when the song was over.
M~ can I go up there Tina?
She had told me to call her Tina because I can't say Christina very well... maybe one day. She nodded, pushing me towards the stage. The boys were taking a water break.
Z~ there's my girl!
I ran towards Zach as he stretched his arms out, picking me up.
M~ that wasss soooo g-g-good!
Z~ thank you princess
I gave him a tight hug then ran over to Christina who was talking with Bean.
M~ cwistinaaaaaaaa
I tugged on her sleeve as she laughed then picked me up.
CM~ Yes Marlee?
M~ I'm hungry! Snackkkk
CM~ sounds like a plan! Bye babe
She hugged Corbyn and then we got cookies.
CM~ Mar? Do you want to go down the street to paint something? We could find a princess or a crown!
I nodded my head fast while eating my cookie.
CM~ alrighty! Eat your cookies and then we will go!
She took a bite of her cookie and smiled at me. I gave her a quick hug. Still not completely comfortable with her yet. But I really like her!
