"I Promise I'll be there!" Dawn Doorson Said to her best friend Ashley Moore before she hung up the phone.
It was Saturday morning and Ashley had invited her to a movie that afternoon.
"Dawn, Dawn Dear!" her mother called from downstairs
"Yeah Mom?" Drew hollered back
"I need you to look after Jo and Jenny this afternoon I have to head out to do errands"
Dawn Groaned
"Ash Invited me to watch a movie with her and Megan this afternoon and I said i'd be there!"
Dawn complained to her mom
"I'm sorry sweet but you can't go, I'll be back at five love you!"
and just like that Dawn's mom was gone and Dawn was stuck babysitting her two 7 year old twin sisters. Great. Just Great.
"DawNNN! Tell Jenny that playing with her barbie dolls is babyish!!! Tell her we are to old for that!" Jo hollered from the play room downstairs
Dawn Dragged her self down the rickety stairs until she reached the playroom. ( If it could be called a playroom,- It was more of a closet with tons of legos and blonde haired barbies thrown about it)
True Jo ( Short for Josephine ) And Jenny where cute little sisters But cute did not make up for annoying.
Jenny was the sassy one of the two and right then she was extra sassy she put her hands on her hips and roared "All Josephine want's to do is Play with legos and earth worms! if you ask me that is wayy more babyish than making up stories with characters"
"No! All you want to do is make them marry princes thats not making up stories! There's no death or gore!" Jo cried back
"Jo!! Jen! Puleese why don't you to go outside to play?" Dawn offered
"Your Not OUR MOTHER!" They responded in unison
Dawn wanted to yell back, thinking to herself it's not as if you always listen to mom.. but instead she whistled and began to leave saying out loud
"Fine I'm going to go find the treasure chest in our yard alone and all the money and jems in it will be mine!"
That got both Jo and Jenny attention Jo dropped the batman lego she was holding and Jenny stopped trying to pull the head of her Red haired barbie.
"Wait! We will come!" They said and ran after her.
Dawn explained that the only place the treasure could be was in the dirt patch ( the only place there mother let them dig, before the dirt patch became a thing Jo and Jenny had dug in the flower garden digging up there mothers prized geraniums..
She handed Jo her old rusty blue shovel that Jo treasured and had called rusty and then handed Jenny her brand new polished to perfection pink butterfly shovel with flowers pained all over the handle Jenny called the shovel Princess Penelope Pearl Pretty Poppy or Princess for short.
The shovels and the legos and barbies showed how really different Jo and Jenny where from each other.
Jenny Had Long straw colored hair that went down to her waist and always wore pink if she could. and also if she could always wore dresses and skirts.
While Jo as she insisted being called ( she hated her name Josephine ) had short messy dark brown hair that was slightly longer than a bob, She never wore dresses and always wore shorts and t shirts in the summer and pants and a long sleeve shirt in the winter. she disliked colorful cloths and her favorite color was brown.
Jenny loved being proper and polite
While Jo loved being ruthless and rude.
