Another Bedtime story

So, we continue on the BENNETT SISTERS and we find...

CHAPTER 2
Today, the three girls and their parent seek out to find their new cottage. It was a long trip. Maryjane was in the back, snoozing away. In the middle row of the mini van was Betsy and Sunny. Betsy was quizzing Sunny on her states and capitols. When she got to North Dakota, she stared at Betsy. She started to stop breathing. Then taking many quick breaths. This happened often. Whenever Sunny thought so much something, the outcome was that. Betsy was used to this. She grabbed Sunny's hand and said the answer. It was set in her brain and she would know the answer, forevermore.
          About an hour passed and they came up to a cottage. It wasn't their cottage, but it was a cottage. Maryjane was now awake and saw 3 boys playing in a yard with a basketball. It felt like the world stopped. The car slowly drove by. The boys held still and the girls stared.
          "What was that about?" Maryjane asked. The car stopped at the second cottage. It was a three story blue house with a bright red door. The girls ran inside and picked out their bedrooms. Maryjane picked the attic because it was the farthest from her sisters. Betsy picked the one that over looks the backyard and a little lily pond out in the distance. Sunny picked the room down the hall, right across from the other cottage.

          "Who was that?" One boy asked. He was the second oldest.
          "Doesn't matter, Micah. Let's get back to the game." The oldest,  Jason said.
          "Can we go inside now. I am starving." The youngest, Bryce said. So, they went inside. They grabbed some carrots and went back outside.
           It was the next day. Maryjane and Sunny were in the front yard kicking a soccer ball. The ball flew over the hedge and fell into the other yard.
          "Oops." Sunny muttered. The girls quickly ran to the other side to get the soccer ball.  The three boys were also kicking around a soccer ball.
         "Sorry, we just came to get our ball." Sunny said.
         "Are you the new girls?" Micah asked. They nodded.
        "I'm Maryjane. All one word. My sister here is Sara, but everyone calls her Sunny. I have another sister in the house named Betsy." Maryjane explained.
        "I'm Jason. The oldest. I have another brother who is Micah. Then its Bryce here." Jason told them.
        "Hey, do you guys want to join us in a game of soccer?" Micah asked them. They agreed. They played until it was time for lunch.
         "We made some new friends, Betsy." Sunny said happily after lunch. "Would you like to meet them?"
         Betsy said,"Of course." 

The next part is coming tomorrow.
Stay tuned
