"I want to come with you and Laura! I want to see my friend Luke!" demanded Rebecca.

"Nope, no, you can't... it will be just me and Laura," Graven said.

Rebecca pouted like a petulant child. "But I wanted to! Why can't I go with you two?" she asked, her face showed displeasure.

"Three is a crowd," Graven told her.

"Fine...if you don't want me to go with you and Laura, then I'll go there by myself!" Rebecca declared.

Graven sighed. "Okay fine, the three of us will go!" he relented.

Rebecca jumped with joy. "Oh, yeah! When are we going to the cave! Today?" she asked excitedly.

"No, tomorrow. I will inform my father that I will bring you and Laura to a picnic in one of my properties outside the town for one day. We will return here the next day," Graven replied.

Rebecca smiled. "Awesome! I'll go back to the house to inform Laura about the trip tomorrow, so we can pack our things for the trip," she said.
