Gretl pulled at her skirt. Fraulein Maria had just returned back the night before and she had been in a hurry to run downstairs and make sure it hadn't been a dream, but in her hurry, her skirt got twisted about. She went out of her and Marta's room and looked for one of her big sisters to help her out with it.

"Uff!" Louisa said after having bumped into Gretl.
Startled, the little girl looked up at her older sister.
"What are you up to, Gretl? Can't you be more careful?" Louisa asked annoyed, rubbing her belly, the spot Gretl had hit.

"Sorry." Gretl said. "Could you help me with my skirt? Please?" She pushed some of her tangled hair out of her eyes.
[Have Louisa do her hair too]

"What's wrong with your skirt?" Louisa asked kneeling down so she would be the same height as the little girl.
She laughed when she noticed how messed up Gretl's skirt was.
"What have you done here?" Louisa said playfuly while straightening her sister's clothes.
"Wow, she has grown!" Louisa told herself.
Looking at her little sister, the thirteen year old girl felt an urge to hug her. She was so cute, and it had been so long since the last time she had shown her affection for Gretl! Even though it wasn't like Louisa to let her emotions show, she put her arms around Gretl and hugged her tight.
"I love you, Gretl!" she exclaimed.

Gretl's face was smushed against buttons on her sisters dress. She patted Louisa on the back. "Love you too, Lou. Was it a dream? Fraulein Maria coming back?"

"Oh, sorry, Gretl," Louisa apologized after having realized she had smushed her sister's face against her own body.
"Lou?" the older girl thought. It had been a long time since someone called her that way. As strange as it was, she liked.
"Do you want to look for Fräulein Maria?" Louisa asked reading Gretl's thoughts.
The little girl nodded.
"Let's do something with your hair, then," the girl said standing up and taking her sister's hand. "You know, your hair is a complete mess," Louisa laughed. You wouldn't want her to see you like that, would you?

"Well, she's seen me like that before. What's the difference now?" the five year old asked her big sister. She looked down at her now-straight skirt and smiled.

Meanwhile-
Liesl was in her room, dressed and ready.
She was pacing back and forth.
"Alright Liesl, think, the baroness is gone, Frauline Maria has come back. I saw Father and her come into the house the same time last night."
Liesl knew what was going on. She liked it.
"How do I go about asking her?"
she paced more and more
"I cant simply go- Oh hey frauline Maria, umm are you in love with my father?" she shook her head "no no...lets see. I'll just wait it out, yes, I'll just gather more information."
She stopped pacing and head out the door and heard Louisa and Gretl from down the hallway.

Louisa laughed at Gretl's stubborness. She never changed.
"That's alright," she began, "If you want her to see you like that, it's okay. So I won't need to make that pretty hairdo you so much love!" Louisa said defiantly. She turned but looked sideways at Gretl, waiting for her reaction.

"The braid-buns? Oh, Lou, please?" she grabbed onto her sisters dress, begging her to do her hair like that

"I knew it would work," Louisa though satisfied.
"Alright, I'll do. But you don't need to grab my dress like that, Gretl! That way you'll ruin it!" the girl exclaimed freeing herself from Gretl's little hands.
Gretl laughed excited.
"Let's go to your room, come one," Louisa called and caught Gretl's hand once more. "Is Marta up yet?" she asked on the way.

Gretl shook her head no. They went into the room and Marta was still fast asleep, her arm wrapped around a rag dog. One of her small feet was dangling out from the covers that were a bit twisted and she was snoring lightly.

"Shh, Gretl, don't make any noise," Louisa asked, still holding her sister's hand. "Let's go to my room. I have all we need there, alright?"
Gretl nodded and went with Louisa. They spoted Liesl descending the stairs and waved at her. The older girl waved back and resumed her track.
"Let's go, Gretl, we must hurry so we'll be able to meet Liesl and the others downstairs.
"What about Marta?" Louisa wondered. "I'll go back to her after I'm done with Gretl," she decided. "After all, I wouldn't be able to deal with her and Gretl at the sme time."

Gretl sat down on Louisa's unmade bed, holding the hairties and brush. She felt Louisa sit behind her and start brushing her golden hair. "Louisa?" "Hmm?" "How come Father's marrying Baroness Sharaeder? Aren't you only supposed to if you're in love? He doesn't love her, does he?"
