on your way to the movie theater, you and ten were walked through a park that had a playground.

"those kids look cute," ten commented while looking at the playground full of kids. you looked over and nodded in agreement. "oh, some of them are playing hopscotch!" he exclaimed.

"hopscotch?" you questioned.

"you've played before, right?" he asked.

you shrugged your shoulders, "i don't remember. i never really played with chalk when i was little."

"basically, you just make shapes and jump on them. the most basic one would be that one where is goes from one to ten, but kids will make ones that are like obstacle courses," ten explained. you two walked over to an area that was empty, but there were plenty of chalk creations on the ground. "see?" he started jumping on one of them and completed the hopscotch court.

"that's it? that's not really fun," you commented.

"well, we're not little kids anymore. i bet you would've loved this when you were around four or five," ten replied and picked up a stray piece of chalk. he crouched to the ground and started drawing something with the chalk.

"what are you doing?" you asked him.

he stood up and moved away from what he just drew. "i'm making a hopscotch course," he said.

"babe, you do realize that the movie starts in like ten minutes, right?" you asked him while looking at your watch.

"hang on, hang on," ten replied and continued drawing on the ground.

"i don't want to miss the movie!" you said to him as he drew.

"okay! all done!" he shouted and stood up, leaving the piece of chalk on the ground. "come on!" he exclaimed. he started hopping and jumping through the course he made, laughing like a little kid. other little kids that were near by joined him. "babe, try it out," ten said to you.

you gave in and jumped onto a square. then, you jumped onto a circle. little kids ran around while jumping and laughing; some of them followed after you.

you laughed as you played with the kids around you. suddenly, ten appeared and hopped ahead of you.

"here's the end!" ten exclaimed and you jumped from a square to another square. ten hugged you and kissed your forehead. "hey, i think we missed the movie," he said. "i'll make it up to you if we stay here for a bit longer," he offered.

you playfully rolled your eyes before kissing his cheek, "fine."
