Laura jumps off the swing and starts heading towards the slides when she hears someone calling out to her. Well to Alexis. Laura turns to see a boy she recognizes as one of Alexis' friends.
"Hey Alex! Are you back from your trip already?"
"Hi...Mark! Uh yeah...daddy had to come back for work."
"Well I'm glad you're back. It's been so boring without you. Mary and Gwen go off by themselves when you're not there. So, I was stuck playing with Timmy during reccess."
Laura struggles to place the names to faces, but gets the gist, "I'm sorry. But remember I was the one stuck with Allison. And all she wants to do is go look at dumb clothes all day."
Mark laughs and Laura is relieved she apparently has Alexis' attitude down. Feeling whimsical, Laura decides to get a better look at what it's like to be Alexis.
"So, do you want to play?"
"Yeah! Did you know the finally fixed the seesaw?"
"No."
"Well come on!"
Laura follows the boy over to the seesaw in question. She bounces up and down as hard as she can and finds Mark doesn't hold back either. She screams in excitement whenever she finds herself almost falls off. Laura has a much less fun time trying to keep up with all of Mark's updates about what's been going kindergarten while "she's" been away. After awhile they finish up with the seesaw and Mark asks Laura a question she wasn't prepared for.
"Do you wanna come over for dinner?"
