It was Saturday, and all of the Minish were bustling about their little town. It was a good time to socialize with others. All of the Minish enjoyed it, except one.
"Mom! Do I have to go with you?" came a complaining voice.
"Yes, Vaati. I already told you, I can't just leave you home alone." said Mrs. Picoru, his mother, holding his hand.
"This isn't fair! I'm ten years old, I don't need a babysitter, I don't need someone to tell me what to do," Vaati pulled away from his mother's grasp, "And I DON'T need my mom to hold my hand!"
"Vaati, please stop this nonsense! Take my hand, before you get lost in the crowd." said Mrs. Picoru patiently.
"No! I'm not going to get lost! I'm tired of you treating me like a baby!!!" Vaati screamed. Everyone stopped and stared at him. Mrs. Picoru snatched his arm and dragged him.
"Quit making a scene!" she whispered angrily.
"NO, I WON'T STOP MAKING A SCENE UNTIL YOU TREAT ME LIKE MY OWN AGE!!!" Vaati pulled away from his mother again. Mrs. Picoru gritted her teeth and mumbled under her breath, "Now, Vaati!"
"No!" he crossed his arms stubbornly.
"That's it," his mother pulled on the collar of his purple robe and led him out of the market, "I am sick and tired of your griping! If you expect me to treat you like a ten-year old, then act like one!"
About half way down the hill from the village, and quite a ways from Vaati's home, dark, gray rain clouds started to cover the town. Mrs. Picoru stopped in her tracks and stared up at the sky.
"What are we doing?" Vaati asked.
"Oh...no..." Mrs. Picoru trembled.

I like to put cliffhangers at the end of each chapter. Vaati kind of resembles my cousin, Anna, in a way. Spoiled, stubborn, and kind of bratty. :-* ;D
