Hot Day

Lyca hangs her washing on the line as she sweats in the summer sun.  It is very hot and she decides it be best to go inside so that she won't get burnt!

Lyca heads inside of the house and cools herself with some lemonade.  The drink is very refreshing and she relishes tasting the cool sweet brew -  however a knock on the door breaks Lyca's attention and she moves off the couch to answer it.


"He Anne!"  cheers Lyca at the door.  "What are you doing here?"

"It's too hot to drive back home so I am stopping by;"  tells Anne as sweat streams down her face.

"Let's cool off with some lemonade!"  cheers Lyca as she smiles at Anne.


Inside of the house the two sisters share a drink of lemonade as they chat.

"So what have you been doing today Anne?"  asks Lyca.

"Shopping;"  tells Anne as she shrugs.  "All my groceries are sizzling in the car.

"Are they perishable?"  asks Lyca as she listens.

"No, they should be fine;"  tells Anne as she smiles.  "Thankyou for the lemonade;"  she adds.

"That is fine -  don't you know I keep it on hand for days like these!"  tells Lyca as she smiles.

"I am happy for that!"  cheers Anne as she grins.  "What did you do today?"  she asks.

"Clothes washing;"  tells Lyca as she smiles.  "I was sweating on the clothes as I put them on the line;"

"That is no good!"  tells Anne as she laughs.  "If you have sweat-marks before you wear them you'll know why!"

"I wasn't sweating that bad!"  gasps Lyca as she giggles.  "Just enough to make them a little dirty;"

"Oh well you'll get to wash them again by tomorrow!"  tells Anne.

Lyca giggles.

"It is probably going to be this hot for a week;"  adds Anne.

"Oh no!"  gasps Lyca.  "I thought I storm might get int he way;"

"Not likely!"  snorts Anne before a yawn makes her stop speaking.  "I am tired;"  she says.

"Would you like to lay down?"  asks Lyca as she grows alarmed.

"No, I best be going home;"  tells Anne as she wipes her brow.  "Thanks for cooling me down but I best drive home before I fall asleep;"

"Okay!"  cheers Lyca as she pushes the glasses away.  "Just you drive safe!"

"I'll be fine!"  tells Anne as she hugs her sister goodbye.  "I'm filled with lemonade and still feeling the bubbles!"  she cheers before she departs.

Fish In The Water

Anne walks to the park and stares at the water -  it's soft tide captures her attention and she peers close.  Bubbles rise, then foam rises, and then a fish pops its head out of the water!  Anne smiles.

"Is that my prince charming?"  she asks.

The fish swims back under the water.

"What are you staring at Anne?"  asks Lyca as she approaches with ice-cream.

"A fish!"  tells Anne.  "It poked its head out from under the water!"

"I see no fish!"  tells Lyca as she peers at the water and sees calm.

"It was there!"  tells Anne.  "Give me an ice cream, I will show you!"

Lyca shrugs and hands Anne one ice cream.  Anne picks off some wafer and throws it into the water -  the wafer bobs on top of the water calmly and grows larger as the water expands its wafer cone shell.

"There's nothing there;"  tells Lyca as she shrugs.

"It is there!"  gasps Anne.  "Wait!"

The two sisters glare at the wafer and wait for the fish to show -  it does not come out of the water and Lyca snorts.

"Oh well... who cares?  Let's go and sit somewhere!"  she invites.

"How about we sit here?"  tells Anne.  "The fish will show!"

Lyca rolls her eyes off a patch of sunlight that covers a small hill crested by a tree and she looks at the damp grass under her feet.  Slowly she sits, wishing she had brought a picnic mat to sit on as the dew on the grass seeps into her clothes.

"I can't believe you want to sit here!"  tells Lyca as she rolls her eyes.

Anne glares at the water disinterested, and at times she throws more cone to invite the fish out of the water!  Birds approach to eat the cone portions, but fly away when Anne throws the blob of ice-cream into the water.  Lyca laughs.

"What a waste of ice-cream Anne!"  she tells as she glares at her sister.  "It's just a fish!  I'm sure it's gone to the bottom of the pond!"  she adds before she licks her own ice-cream.

"I'm sorry!"  tells Anne as she sulks.  "I wanted to show you there was a fish there!"

"That's okay;"  mutters Anne as she glares at the blob of ice-cream melting into the water.  "I am sure it was a nice fish!"  she mutters. 

Anne smiles.

"I was;"  she adds as she leans back.  "It was;"  she repeats as she watches the ice-cream sink deeper into the water until it is gone.

Lyca Scares Anne

Lyca goes to the store and walks down the isles.  She meets her sister Anne there and she gives her a surprise!

"Hey!"  shouts Lyca.

Anne jumps onto the tips of her toes and drops the eggs she is carrying.

"Oh, the eggs!"  gasps Anne.

A store attendant hurries up to the spill and begins to clean.  Lyca laugh as Anne apologizes.  After some conversation Lyca and Anne walk away.

"What were you doing Lyca?"  asks Anne as she brushes the red off her cheeks.

"I was saying hello!"  laughs Lyca as  she smiles.

"Don't say it like that!"  scolds Anne.

"I'm sorry!"  exclaims Lyca.  "I thought it would be fun;"

"Fun is not dropping eggs in a store!"  tells Anne as she grows foul of mood.

"I'll treat you to a sandwich!"  cheers Lyca.

"Okay;"  sighs Anne as she gives up on her feud.


The food is brought and Lyca listens as Anne talks about her busy morning.  Lyca feels bad that her morning has not been good, and she wishes that she had not scared her in the store.

"I feel so bad that you did not have a good day!"  tells Lyca as she grows angry at herself.  "How about you come home with me today?"

"I would love to Lyca but I am going home to do some yard work;"  tells Anne as she smiles.  "If you want to help out that would be great -  I have to trim all the bushes!"

"I would love to help you out!"  cheers Lyca. 


After lunch Lyca and Anne return to Anne's house and there they pull out weeds and trim bushes until the sun is ready to go to bed.  At night Anne cooks dinner and her and Lyca consume a much needed meal.

 "Thankyou for the help Lyca, I would never have been able to finish the garden without your help!"  cheers Anne.

"I was only glad to do it!"  cheers Lyca as she smiles.  "I wanted to say sorry about scaring you at the store!"

"I wasn't scared!"  blushes Anne.  "Only embarrassed;"

"I am sorry anyway!"  tells Lyca as she kicks herself inside of her head.  "Next time I will only say hello;"  she tells.

"I would like that Lyca!"  cheers Anne as she smiles.  "That would make me feel so much better, and my eggs will be kept safe!"

China Plates

Lyca walks into her house and finds her sister Anne there. 

 

"Hey there Anne!"  cheers Lyca as she smiles.  "I am glad you found the spare key!"  she tells.

 

"Oh yes I recall where you had put the key;"  tells Anne as she smiles.  "I helped myself to some of your clothes -  hope you don't mind;"

 

"Get caught in the rain?"  asks Lyca.

 

"Yes!"  tells Anne as she smiles.

 

"Would you like to have a drink of tea?"  asks Lyca.

 

"Sure, two sugars!"  tells Anne.

 

 

Lyca goes to the kitchen to make some tea, however inside she realizes she has only milk!  Lyca moves to tell Anne the bad news when bang!  A loud crash is heard!

 

"What was that sound?"  asks Lyca before she moves to find Anne.

 

A few minutes later Lyca finds Anne in the dining room -  she has dropped a China plate.

 

"Oh my plate!"  gasps Lyca as she sees the mess of broken shards.  "That was an antique!"

 

"I am sorry;"  tells Anne as she looks at the mess.  "I was looking at it when it slipped out of my fingers;"  she tells.

 

Lyca shakes her head.

 

"I will never be able to find another one;" she broods.

 

"I will buy you a new one!"  exclaims Anne.  "I'll come back tomorrow with one!" 

 

 

The next day Anne goes to the store to buy Lyca a china plate.  However the china plates in the store are pricey, and so she goes to a second hand store but the plate there are chipped!

 

"I wish I could find Lyca a good quality china plate for cheap!"  tells Anne as she fiddles with her purse.  "Oh well, these ones will have to do!"  she exclaims.

 

 

Anne goes home to deliver Lyca the plates.  Lyca washes the plates, and then she carefully places then inside of her display case.

 

"Well they aren't new but they will have to do!"  tells Lyca before she hugs Anne.  "Thankyou for the plates!"  she smiles.

 

"I am glad you like them!"  tells Anne before her and Lyca move to have some lunch.
