"Gretl- I dont want you to worry about those kind of things anymore, we're safe now...This is our new home. It's hard to get used to, but we can do it." Liesl handed her the dress and pinched her face. "I'll be downstairs." Liesl left that room and went to go see if Louisa and Brigitta were ready yet. She knocked on the door "are you two- Oh" she said after Louisa had opened the door and bumped into her.

Gretl got changed into the dress and turned so Marta could do up the back. She tagged Marta and took off running yelling over her shoulder "Tag, you're it!" Marta called "Hey, no fair!" but she ran after her.

"Uff, Liesl, look out!" Louisa exclaimed, massaging her own shoulders, where Liesl had hit.
Brigitta giggled. Louisa shot an angry look at her.
"What?" Brigitta asked.
"What are you laughing at? It hurts," Louisa said.
Then the blong girl returned her attention to Liesl. "Where were you going?"

"To eat, of corse" Brigitta giggled again "Oh Brigitta, you're impossible" Liesl fixed her dress and walked down the stairs. They had only one staircase this time, It was long and sort of spiraly.

Louisa and Brigitta shared an amused look.
"What did she mean?" the youngest girl asked.
"You are impossible, Brigitta," Louisa imitated Liesl's words.
"But why did she seem angry?"
"Angry? I don't think so," Louisa said. "Why do you say that?"
"I don't know," Brigitta stated more serious. "Why didn't she waited for us? We were just going downstairs too, after all."
"Ah, never mind, Brigitta. Let's go after her," the bolde girl called, heading dowstairs.
Brigitta was just a few steps after her.

Gretl was running after Marta as the older girl had tagged her. When she saw Liesl come down, she said, "Liesl, tag Marta for me!"

Liesl absent mindedly did what Gretl asked. She tagged Marta, she actually did something that was sort of like playing with them. Marta of corse wasnt as thrilled as Gretl. She went on how it wasnt fair because she was old, but all Liesl had to say was "I beg your pardon..?"

Gretl, giggling said "Marta said that you're OLD! Almost as old as Father!"

Liesl just turned her head and went to the dining room. "Im not THAT old." Liesl kept talking to herself as she got different foods from different plates. "I wonder when father will send out for a new cook?or a maid?or butler? will he even send out for one like he promised?" Liesl said out loud, still talking and talking.

Still upstairs, Louisa and Brigitta observed as Liesl sort of played with Marta and Gretl. Brigitta stepped forward to participate in too, but the older girl stayed back. She seemed to be thinking wheter or not she should enter the group too. "Why not?" she asked herself. "Even Liesl is playing too!"
But when she montioned to move forwards she heard a voice behind her back.
"Can someone tell me what's happening here?"
It was her Father.
Louisa turned to face him. "Er," she started, "we were, we-"
"Alright, alright," he interrupted. "We should already be having our breakfast. Can you do me a favor and follow me?" he called faking seriousness.
Louisa would reply when she saw Maria coming too. The girl simply smiled at her Mother and the three descended the stairs together.

"Morning Mother!" Gretl cried when she saw her beautiful mother descend the stairs. She ran to her and hugged her, even though she had seen her a few minutes ago.

Liesl was still in the kitchen, talking about wanting cooks and a butler. She's put food on her plate and eat some while doing so. She didnt even hear when all of them entered the room that she was in. "now If we only had our own cook, the I wouldnt' have to- Oh, goodmorning" Liesl felt somewhat embarassed being walked in on.

The boys always went downstairs together. It was something that had been naturally stabilished, and none of them complained about that. But today Friedrich was taking much time to get ready and Kurt, as always, was 'starving.'
"Friedrich, what happened?" Kurt called from outside the bathroom door.
"Nothing, I'm coming, hold on!" Friedrich replied.
Kurt sighed impatiently. "We are nothing going to a ball. You don't need to have your hair all straight!" he exclaimed.
"Would you stop shouting?" Friedrich said as he stepped out of the bathroom. "I'm ready, let's go."
"Finally!" Kurt said, heading to the door and being followed by his brother.
Soon after they were all reunited at the dining room.
"Good morning, boys," Georg and Maria greeted together and smiled at the coincidence.
"Morning, Father," Friedrich answered.
Kurt's mouth was already full of food. He answered with a nod.

Liesl opened her mouth to repremand him "Kurt take smaller bites" Maria said, stealing the words from Liesl's mouth. "Its so nice to have a mother" Liesl thought with a sigh.

"Mother, what are we doing today?" Gretl asked. Maria went to answer, but Gretl interupted, "Mother, are you feeling alright? You look weird."
