mom Maddy said Her family’s blue car pulled up in front She and Darcy climbed into the backseat Hi girls said Mom smiling over her shoulder as they buckled up How was the movie It was great but we didn’t see Coco or Ava said Maddy They were supposed to be there That was our plan Oh yes said Mom She pulled away from the curb and headed toward home I saw Coco’s dad after I’d dropped you girls off
He said he was just too busy and didn’t have time to drive them over I was so sorry If I’d known I’d have driven everyone Ohhhh Driving The one thing kids couldn’t do on their own Maddy Darcy Coco and Ava had planned this whole night They were going to have their parents drop them off at the theater then watch the movie by themselves Darn Mom turned a corner and drove past the pumpkin patch It was October 2 and just yesterday the field had filled
up with hundreds of plump orange pumpkins And that reminded Maddy of her favorite subject in the whole entire world What are you going to be for Halloween Darcy She turned as much as she could in a seat belt
A zombie princess said Darcy clapping her hands and grinning And Bun-Bun will be my vampire bunny Bun-Bun was Darcy’s soft gray rabbit Maddy loved him
