"Mom, come here!" Winter called from where she sat on the couch at her parents house, Scarlett on FaceTime.

"Your sister is napping, why are you yelling?"

"Just come here."

Julia stood behind the couch, leaning over it after she'd been motioned over, "Mom, say hi."

"Hi."

Scarlett giggled, "Hi!"

Julie squinted her eyes, making sure she wasn't seeing things, "Wait a minute. Is that who I think it is?"

"Yeah, mom."

"Oh my god, Winter is obsessed with you."

Winter hid her face, "Mom, so are you. Shut up."

"That's not the point."

"Mom, she has a question."

Julia looked at her daughter skeptically, "What is it?"

"Can we take Hazel to Disney World?" Scarlett asked and within seconds Julia had an answer.

"Sure. But good luck with her toddler temper tantrums."

Winter was utterly shocked that her mother agreed to it that fast, "You agreed to that so fast. You trust me to take my sister across the country?"

Julia shrugged, "You've taken care of her before, I'm sure she'll be fine with you. But you have to call me everyday so I know you didn't lose her."

"Mother, I'm not going to lose h-"

"Sissy!"

Winter was suddenly being attacked by the tiny blonde as she launched herself onto the couch, wrapping her arms around her.

"I thought you were sleeping."

Hazel shook her head, "No. Who dat?" Hazel pointed to Scarlett.

"That's sissy's friend."

Hazel watched Scarlett skeptically, "Dat no Joey."

"No, it's Scarlett."

"I don't know her."

Winter rolled her eyes at her sister, "She's nice, i promise. You'll meet her in a few months, okay?"

"Why? Where she?"

"She's in New York."

"Dats not Colowado."

It took Hazel a few minutes to warm up to Scarlett, but she was soon babbling on about who knows what while Winter held the phone for her.

"Sorry, she likes to go on tangents." Winter said when Julia took Hazel outside to burn off some of her energy.

Scarlett just smiled, "It's okay, she's adorable."
