Chapter 2:Ben-Oni decides where to go
When they got to Faith’s home Julia was introduced to Ben-Oni, Harry, and Lavender. Then they invited Julia inside while they made some tea and told that when they got home they realized Faith wasn’t there they though she was ahead with Harry running but she wasn’t and just as they went to go find her, she came home with Julia. When Julia left, they made plans to leave to somewhere. Faith asked,‘‘Where are we going?’’ ‘‘Well, we don’t exactly know yet.’’ continued Lavender, ‘‘we don’t have any relatives…’’ But she was interrupted by Ben-Oni who said,‘‘Um, we…’’Then he looked at everyone and smiled and sort of grinned the sort of grin that tells you he knows something you don’t and won’t tell you and then stopped talking.‘‘Ahem, as I was saying we don’t have anywhere to go except to an orphanage and we won’t be taken there.’’ Said Lavender, not noticing Ben-Oni’s grin. Harry popped up with an answer,‘‘I know we can be like the Boxcar Children…’’ But before he could say anymore Faith said,‘‘I am sleepy, can I go to bed while decide where to go?’’‘‘Ok,’’said Ben-Oni. When Faith went to bed Harry contuied to tell his plan.‘‘But, Harry, we don’t have a grandfather and no boxcar.’’ replied Lavender. Ben-Oni thought for a moment, then shouted ‘‘Yahoo!’’ and got stared at by Harry who asked,‘‘What?’’‘‘I just thought of some place to go, nothing special.’’Said Ben-Oni.‘‘Uh…ummmmm….’’ stuttered Lavander.‘‘It’s some friend’s of mine house,’’He answered when Lavander said this.‘‘Oh, really?’’ questioned Harry somewhat suspicious. ‘‘Let’s wake Faith then pack, we’ll be there if we start tomorrow or tonight in two or so days.’ answered Ben-Oni to Harry. When they had woken Faith, they went on packing, for this trip to Ben-Oni’s friend. Before they knew it, they were done packing, all the supplies needed for the trip.


Chapter3 When they start the trip
The next morning as they started on their trip,they saw someone from the orphanage. So, they hid in a stack of hay on a wagon. The person passed without taking notice, just as they were ready to get out, they heard voices and footsteps coming closer so they kept hidden. The voices came nearer and nearer. Suddenly, the footsteps stopped. They almost cried ouch, when the voices and footsteps climbed aboard. They realized that this was the hayload for the cheerleaders, for today was the Fourth Of July parade. The Forth of July was next week. So, the voices and footsteps were of the cheerleaders who had climbed aboard. Now, they were going down the street with cheerleaders on top and they under the haystack. So they did not get anything done that day. Because by the time the parade was done the Dard’s had fallen asleep, and slept into the night. The next morning Faith was the first to wake up. She woke everyone else up and they started the trip. Ben-Oni carried Faith in a baby backpack and Harry and Lavender walked. They were able to do 14 miles that day and when they were all tired they looked for a place to rest. They came to the woods, and saw a big place where they could set up camp. Harry made a swing with the help of Faith and tied it to a tree. Or, should I say Harry did the work, Faith got him what he needed for the work. Anyway,when they were done and had put the swing up, Faith did not let Harry get on the swing until the next day, she instead she swang on it all day. Lavender and Ben-Oni set up the camp and put the sleeping bags in the tent. And they ate the cold food they brought for supper and went to bed.
