Whodunnit/Park/Ana/Water/Naked/Run Home
While still hugging Ana, you whisper in her ear, "I think we're gonna have to make a run for home." Ana jerks back, her eyes wide open with shock. "But, everyone will see us!" she wailed.
You pull her close again, "I know, but the longer we wait, the more people will be out." You pat her head as she starts crying again. "I'm sorry, Ana. I didn't mean for this to happen..."
Instead of answering, Ana starts sobbing even more. Well, considering the circumstances, you can't really blame her. The two of you would be completely exposed as you run home. Who knows how many people will see you, maybe even kids still coming home from school. You shudder to think how your new classmates might greet you once Monday morning comes around. This must be even worse for Ana. After all, you have just moved here, so most people won't recognize you. However, Ana has lived here for her whole life. Even though she's shy, you are pretty sure your neighbors would realize who it was that was running beside you.
Still, it couldn't be helped. You've got to get going now, or things will only get worse. You quickly stand up, and pull Ana up along with you. Eventually she stands, but she still clings around your body, as if trying wrap you around her naked skin. "We've got to go, Ana! If we wait any longer, more people will see us!" This makes Ana cry even more, even though she still refuses to budge.
As best you can, you start walking toward the park's entrance. Well, it's hard to do so with Ana still hanging on you, but you slowly make your way down the sidewalk, soon passing by the restrooms. As you do so, Ana suddenly pauses. She brings her head up, and looks toward the small building, and then turns back to you.
Her face is still stained with tears as she asks you, "Can I go hide in the bathroom, and you can go home and bring me my clothes back?" Hmm, that's an idea you never considered. There was no need for both of you to embarrass yourselves. One of you could go back and bring clothes for the other. Should you ask her to go back and...? No, this whole thing was your fault. There was no way you were going to make Ana run home naked while you stayed hidden.
You open your mouth to agree to her proposal, when you suddenly realize something. If she finds out you left your five-year old cousin all alone, Mommy might be even angrier with you. Even though it's only by two years, technically you are the older one here, and responsible for Ana. Even though it meant Ana would have to run home naked with you, it would probably be better if you don't let her out of your sight. Oh, but this would definitely make Ana start crying again. Hmm, what should you do?
