"You're grounded, Chris! For a year!".
Chloe twisted around, her wavy brown curls sweeping about, and watched through the rear window as the carnival, and the hill beside the lake, disappeared behind them.
"Then we need to be going back there!", she said, looking first to Chris, and then to Vicky, pleadingly. "We're going the wrong way!", she added.
Vicky chewed her bottom lip, and lightly patted her little shoulder.
"You can't just go walking around dressed like that, Chloe. People are going to think it's weird, and they might even call the cops or something. How would we explain that? We'll come back later after we've got you some clothes and you'll blend in", she said in a kind, warm voice.
"Uh... Vicky, by the time we get to your house, pick up some clothes and drive back out here, the carnival will be closed", said Poppy, looking back at them through the mirror. Vicky winced and tipped her head back.
"Crap. You're right. Okay, then we'll come back here first thing tomorrow... ", she said, causing panic to spread over Chloe's youthful face.
"Tomorrow?! I can't stay like this until tomorrow!".
