She started down the stairs then paused, seeing everyone in the room below frozen, surrounded by a cloud. What was going on?
Her mommy, daddy, and Melony were all standing there like statues. Is this a game? Can I play?
She ran down the stairs and into the cloud herself. The cloud suddenly disappeared. She looked up, disoriented.
Her mommy looked at her. "Thank you for watching her for us," she said.
"Melony, what are you doing out of bed?" her daddy said to her babysitter, sternly.
"I wanted a drink of water." Melony said, shifting nervously from foot to foot.
"I'll get it for you" her Daddy said, and Melony followed him to the kitchen.
She turned back to her Mommy, who was holding out money to her. "We'd better get her back to bed. Good night, Molly..."
Molly looked at her, blankly.
"My pleasure, Mrs. Stevens," her mommy said.
Molly felt confused. Mrs. Stevens was what Mommy was called, why was she calling Melony that?
"I'd better get home," Mommy said, and heading toward the door.
Her daddy came back with the water, and saw his daughter looking very confused.
