Cathy smiled as she watched her daughter play in the sandbox with a little boy who was probabaly about her age. Both of them were building a sandcastle, giggling as they did so. Cathy smiled, remembering when she was young and used to play in the sandbox at the little park in Texas close to her home. She also remembered as she got older playing on the old swingset; trying to get high enough to reach the sun with each swing.
Her eyes soon lied on this park's own small swingset. It looked almost excatly like the one at Cathy's park and it was empty. She sighed; she hadn't been on a swing in so long, she would love to do it again. She looked at the swing, then at the spot Faith and her new friend were playing. She could probabaly watch them and swing, the swingset being so near to the sanbox. She smiled childishly for a moment and walked to the swing and sat down on one with Faith, intent on finishing her castle, not even noticing.
Cathy swung, giggling, remembering a time when she was younger. She closed her eyes and her mind produced an image of her and Daniel on the old 3rd grade playground, taking turns pushing the other on the swings and her saying she bet she could touch the sun first. Cathy smiled at the image as she swung.

Annaliese watched as she sat in the park,with a pen and notebook in front of her,tapping her pen on the paper as she hummed along to herself,trying to fiqure out the words to her newest song but nothing seemed to fit so she stopped and watched the children playing on the playground and she got an flashback to her sitting on a swing by herself when she was younger and watched as other children played and called her,'Lonely Anna' and 'Poor Anna'. Annaliese's lips trembled as she buried her face in her hands and sobbed lightly as the next image was of the children throwing rocks at her just because she was pour.

Cathy giggled as she jumped off the swing as she used to as little girl, landing flat on her face in the grass, which only made her giggle more. She stood up and brushed the grass off her jeans. She looked over at the sandbox and noticed Faith had abanded her spot by the little boy and was now walking to a lady who appeared to be crying. Cathy made a small smile as she walked toward her daughter; Cathy had had her fun, now it was time to be a mom and watch her daughter.
"Why you crying, lady?" Faith was asking the woman as Cathy walked to her daughter's side. Faith stared up at Cathy and said, "Why she crying?"
"I don't know," Cathy said to her daughter softly then turned to the woman, "Are you alright?" she asked her.

"Huh?"Anna asked as she looked up to see a mother and her child in front of her. God,she felt so stupid! Crying in public! Anna sniffled and wiped her tears and replied,"Yeah,I'm alright. It just--seeing you and your adorable daughther playing and well,it kind of brought back old memories for me when I was younger and in school..not very good times...."

"Do you wanna play with us?" Faith asked innocently. If watching them made her sad, maybe playing with them could make her happy, "You can helps me builds a castle...Larry is nice, but he gots no fasion cense."
Cathy made a small giggle at Faith's innocent and her pronouncing of 'fashion sense.' "Do you?" Cathy asked the woman, "That always makes me feel better..." She then blinked when she realized she didn't even know this woman's name, "My name's Cathy and this is my daughter, Faith."
"Hi!" Faith said happily.

"Nice to meet you,Faith and Cathy...I'm Annaliese or as my friends..."Whatever friends she had...She then continued to say,"As my friends call me,Anna...like Anna from the King and I."Anna then grinned and replied to Faith,"You know---I actually would like to help you build a castle as well--but if it's alright with your mom of course,Faith..."

"Nice to meet you," Cathy said with a smile. Faith 'yayed' when Anna agreed to help build her castle and looked up at her mom. "Is it ok, Mommy?" she asked.
"Of course, sweetie," Cathy said with a small giggle
"Oh," Faith said and grabed her mother's hand, "You gots to helps too!"
Cathy smiled. She hadn't built a sandcastle in a long time. This could be fun. "Ok!" Cathy said, actually truly excited to be doing this.

Annalise grinned as she stood up and wiped her tears as she straightened her clothes as she replied,"Well,Faith,how about you lead me and your mom to the castle then? Then the building can begin!" Anna really loved kids and she someday wished to have a little son or daughter of her own---if she ever met the right guy that was....like she would ever find a guy. [OOC:Oh,how sadly mistaken she is...]

"Ok!" Faith said with a grin and skipped over to the sandcastle, where the little boy she had been playing with had abanded his spot to go play with a toy truck at the edge of the playground. She pouted a bit. She remembered her mommy telling her boys had little minds that changed this way to that 'cus they had short attention spans, whatever that was.
"Boys," she said with a roll of her eyes, "Right mommy?" she said, looking up at her mother.
"Right," Cathy said with a giggle.
Faith sat down in the sand and her mom joined her and they both began to move sand to the front of them and then flatten it to make the base of the castle.
"It'll be a castle fit for a princess," Faith said happily
