----------------------------------------
"Try to get me!" I yell as I run around the park, being chased by a nine year old Parker. I stop at a tree to catch my breath, winded but trying to hide myself behind the tree from Parker's vision. I hear his footstep, and I run from my hiding spot to another tree, hopeful that Parker didn't see me.
"Lynnie! I don't want to play this anymore!" I hear him shout a few yards away from my hiding spot.
"Fine, I'll come out in one minute if you don't find me." I snicker behind my tree hiding spot. A few moments later, I hear my friend call out "Oww!" Frightened, I run out of my hiding spot to find Parker cracking up. 
"Found you! You should have seen your face!"
I stomp my foot and ball my fists up. "You can't do that! That's cheating! I win!"
"Fine, I don't care." He runs up the small hill we were playing on and lays down on the spring grass.
"Come on, you have to care!" I say, following after him and laying down next to him. He said nothing as I silently try to badger a response out of him. He still says nothing, and I shove him with my shoulder. Him, being on a hill, starts rolling down, yelling my name. 
"Lynnie! Why did you do that?" He stood up at the bottom and brushes the grass off his clothes.
"It was an accident! I'll join you!" I roll down, bumping into him at the bottom, standing up and brushing my clothes off as well. 
"Wait!" I stop him from moving as I find a small dandelion that we had rolled over, it is crushed and missing some of its seeds. Thinking of a wish, I blow on the rest of the seeds, making them glide in the wind. Parker watches, then found another dandelion. He too blows on the dandelion and the seeds fly everywhere. We did this until we were covered in the seed fuzz and there is only one more dandelion with fuzz left, the other ones have already sprouted into flowers.
"Wait Lynn!" Parker put his hand up, signaling to stop trying to disperse the seeds. "Let's make a wish together."
"Ok!" I run over to Parker as he carefully plucks the dandelion from the ground, making sure to keep it as pretty as possible.
"1, 2, 3." Parker whispers, careful not to breathe on the plant. On three, we both blew on the seeds, making them scatter in the wind. I make my wish as we stand on top of the hill. After few moments in silence, we both sit down and Parker speaks.
"What did you wish for?" He says, looking at me.
I crinkle my nose. looking back at him, and blurt out, "I can't tell you, then it won't come true!"
"Well, I'll tell you since it will come true anyway."
"What is it?" I ask, scooting closer to him curiously.
    He gets close to my ear, as if to tell me a secret, but suddenly pushes me down the hill.
    "PARK!"
    He grins from on top of the hill, looking down at me. "Yes, it is a park."
    "You're awful, I'm telling your mom that you did that."
    He starts running down the hill towards me as I start walking towards the exit of the park, towards the both of our houses. "Don't do that! I'm sorry!"
    I turn back towards him. "Only if we can watch a movie."
    "Deal." We shake hands as we walk towards his house.
