Kelly had to marvel to the changes around her. All the furniture was solid, but not fussy, it looked like something a couple of preteens would own and buy themselves. There were bean bag chairs, a big screen tv, some shelves with books, manga and other things in the living room along with a nice big couch. The dining room had a table that could seat all the girls together, and was colored a nice tie dye color. Walking into the kitchen, katie found the counters were all normal height, but that there were stepstools. Opening the cupboards found the foods were the kinds of things a kid would buy for themselves, along with some healthy things as well. Giggling, Katie couldnt help but feel giddy.
"Katie! Come on in, we're gonna pop in a movie," Claudia called.
"Yeah just a sec!" She peered outside and found they now had a nice backyard with a swing set, slide, and a jacuuzi and pool A real Jacuuzi and pool like she'd always wanted. Out in the garage were her and Kelly's bikes along with the other girls, some toys, scooters and the like. It really was completely built and filled with things kids would want, but also with practical things as well. Biting her lip, Katie decided to check out the two bedrooms. First was kellys. It was a nice room, a typical room like she'd seen preteens have when she was over at a friends or in a catalogue. There was a bed, a desk, toys, but it also had a walk in closet of many kinds of clothes. Katie's was just the same, and opening her closet produced the same result. She sat down hard on the bed. For all intents and purposes, she'd created a whole new life for her and her sister.
"Katie?"
The girl blinked and looking up saw kelly in the doorway. She padded over and sat down next to her. "You ok sis?"
"Uhm, yeah, just....I guess a little overwhelmed."
"Well its just the first sleepover of the season, Katie," Kelly giggled. "No need to worry." The girl smiled and combed her fingers gently through Katie's hair.
"I know. Uhm....Kelly, do you think of Mom?"
"Not really, I mean, we never knew her. I guess some part of me wonders what she was like, but theres another part that almost wonders what it would be like to be a Mom, you know?"
"I think so," Katie said.
Kelly smiled and patted her hand. "Hey, where'd you find that ring?"
Oh just on the ground, i figured it was nice. "Katie said."
"Oh yeah, I guess, not my kinda thing." Kelly shrugged. "The girls and I were talking about going to get our own ears pierced like you did yesterday, what do you think?"
Katie nodded, amazed that this fact was now a part of her new history. She was also curious, even tempted to use the ring again.
