1. As Elsi finally calmed down and realized that her sister was completely fine, she took Ava's hand and squeezed it to the point where it might have looked broken from someone else’s view. “Please don’t ever run off like that again Ava. You scared me half to death, and who knows what my punishment’s going to be when we get home,” said Elsi. With her faultless smile and big blue eyes, Ava looked up at her older sister and said, “I love you woo.” Normally Elsi dreaded being called that three letter word, but for the first time she actually appreciated it. “I love you too little woo,” she said. As the two approached their home with Cruz by their side, Elsi could see her parents sitting at the dining room table through the window. “How much trouble do you think you’re going to be in?” asked Cruz. “Well, just as much as I deserve to be in,” explained Elsi, knowing that it was going to be a lot. “Elsi! Ava!” shouted both their mom and dad as their daughter’s entered the house. “Tell me all about your night!” said their dad, as if he were about to die at the thought of waiting another second to hear all about it. “We went to the Willy house!” shouted Ava.

2. As Elsi took Ava’s hand, Ava could feel the little bones in her hand being crushed by her sister’s firm grip. “Don’t you ever run off like that again, Ava. You scared me so much, I thought I was going to have a heart attack, and now Mom and Dad are going to kill me when they find out!” Elsi had definitely learned her lesson. She knew that she had made a mistake and it for sure wasn’t going to happen again.“I love you woo,” whispered Ava as she looked up at her older sister with her big, blue eyes and faultless smile. For the first time, Elsi had actually appreciated being called the name that she usually couldn’t stand. “I love you too little woo” said Elsi.“AW, HOW CUTE!” exclaimed Cruz in the most taunting manner possible. “Oh, shut it, Cruz!” said Elsi. “Yeah! Shut it!” said Ava, imitating her older sister. “Um how was the Willy house?” asked Ava. Both Cruz and Elsi laughed, rolled their eyes, and responded saying, “It was great, Ava.”

3. I didn't even know what to think. Once I realized how lucky I was to have found my sister, I grabbed her little four year old hands and squeezed them so tight that I thought I might brake her hand. "Umm Elsi," said Ava as she realized that I was actually kind of hurting her hand. "Oh sorry!" I said, but I wasn't really because I never wanted to let her out of my sight again. I swear sometimes she can get on my nerves, but when she looked up at me with her big, blue eyes, and faultless smile as she said, "I love you, woo," I for once, appreciated being called that three letter word that I usually despised. "I love you too, little woo," I said. "Um... so how was the Willy house?" asked Ava. Cruz and I just laughed and rolled our eyes. "It was great, Ava."
