Lana did after a second of thinking "I like the purple bears better so I would save the purple one."

"There you go." I pointed to her "This theory proves your deduction skills and how much you are thinking about the person. I said you see me standing with two gummy bears on the road, one red and one purple so that means you are in the equation too. If the person you are asking is really thinking about you then they will pick up on the me part. The correct answer is to say I would save you over anyone."

Giggling, she remained to look at me like I was crazy "That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I am going to ask him that the next time I see him just to prove you wrong."

I was about to explain it further, but I was interrupted by her mom walking down the stairs with a load of laundry.

Mrs Armstrong greeted us with a smile "Hello Ella. I feel like I have not seen you in forever. How have you been?"

"I'm good." I said, returning her smile.

"What are you girls talking about?" Mrs Armstrong asked us.

"Boys." Lana replied.

Mrs Armstrong laughed as she walked to the kitchen. She stopped right at the door and turns around, remembering something.

She grinned "Taking about boys, your ones are outside right now."

The idea of a girl's day was thrown to the wind.

Lana walked over to the window and confirmed that both boys were indeed outside.

I motioned for her to come back "Just ignore them. They will go away eventually."

She shook her head in disagreement and went over to the door "How did they even know we were here together?"

I joined her at the door and contemplate chasing Lurch down the street.

Rather than tell her the truth, I lied "I am telling you that those two boys are secret agents. Have you seen the muscles on them two? Especially Stone."

A voice I instantly recognised as Brennan's came from outside, behind the front door "Thank you, Ella. As much as we love you complementing us, can you let us inside?"

I managed to hold my laughter back as I called to the two intruders "Nobody is home. We have gone out. Try again later."

"Really? So, who are we talking to right now?" Stone asked sounding amused at my stupidity.

"A figment of your imagination?" I replied.

Brennan chuckled and retorted "That actually sounds about right, Little Ella."

Lana sighed and opened the door. The two males were grinning smugly. Brennan gave her a small hug while crossed my arms and glared up at Stone.

The giant sauntered over to me and spoke deeply yet quietly so the other two could not hear "I told you I would pay you a visit."

"What a treat." I deadpanned and walked away back to my seat.
