“We could do extra chores!” said her friend, she had dark brown hair, brown eyes, and dark skin.

“No, that would be to much work. We could do better on our school!” said the boy, he had black hair, green eyes, and light skin.

“Maybe we could do all of those things and be extra polite!” said the girl, she had brown hair, green eyes, and light skin. They all agreed.
The next day they were super polite, did extra chores, and did better on there school. Then Mrs. Smith sent the girl to go pick up the milk she had ordered. So she went down the street, and got the basket full of milk jars, then she saw a girl on the sidewalk, she was in ripped clothes and she had orange hair and her blue eyes were filled with tears. She looked about her age. The Orphan girl went over to her and gave her some milk.

“Thank you, so much!” She said. She was not crying anymore! The Girl went back to the place where she got the milk and got extra, she said it was so she could get a name, and the man was glad to give her some more. When she got back, her friends came running over and hugged her.

“We got our own names!” Said her friend, “My name is Olivia an his is Axel!” Said Olivia, the girl was so happy, she could not wait to get her name! She brought the milk to Mrs. Smith, and she was very happy there was no charge for the extra milk, that she gave the girl a name, it was Jesse!
Later that day there was a play going on in town, and they needed actors. Jesse, Axle, and Olivia knew how to act very well. But there was one problem, the play was passed there bed time, and Mrs. Smith checked on everyone every two hours. So that means that they will have to sneak out. But they need to set up something so that Mrs. Smith will think there still in bed. The Play was Robin Hood, but with the characters as animals. Like the Robin Hood movie from 1973. But as a play and 3 years later. They set up a button that when you stepped on it, it would set of the clock alarm, that Olivia programed to sound like snoring. They snuck out the window and went over to the tent where they were having the play. Luckily it was a kids play, so kids were acting!
In that play, Axel was Robin Hood, Jesse was Maid Marine, and Olivia was the mother of Skippy the rabbit! The cast thought Axle was very funny, because when they were practicing with the weapons Axel hit the wall when everyone else hit the middle of the target, that was funny!
The next day after the play they didn’t tell anybody, because someone might tell Mrs. Smith, and then they might get in trouble. So they kept it a secret and laughed about it all that night.
The next morning Olivia was sent to get some bread for lunch that day. She picked up the bread, and accidentally slipped and fell into someones arms.

“Oh, hello there lil’ Miss.” said the boy, she had fell into some boy’s arms!

“Oh, I’m so sorry for interrupting your stroll.” Said Olivia, she had found a boy! He had very nice clothes on, unlike hers, he had blond hair, and blue eyes!
She had never seen a boy like this before.

“Where are my manners,” he said, “My name is Lukas! What might your name be?” Asked Lukas, Olivia was so lost in “Love Land” that she could almost not even talk!

“I’m, Olivia.” She said staring at his bright happy blue eyes.

“Oh, I must get going. Olivia, when are you coming back here?”

“Next Week!”

“Well, see you then!” He said, walking away down the street. Olivia was so happy, she ran back to the Orphanage to tell her story to her friends.
While she went back to her friends, Lukas went home to his Dad, and told him about her.

“Oh, Dad she’s lovely!” He said, he had been explaining her over lunch!

“Yes, maybe we can figure out where she lives and then you can hang out more, with this Olivia of yours.” Said his Dad.
Back at the Orphanage Olivia was explaining stuff about Lukas.

“Oh, he is the most handsomest boy I have ever met!” She kept saying.

“Hey, what about me!” The girls both looked at him. Everyone at the Orphanage disliked Axle, except for Olivia and Jesse.

“Your not that handsome and we all know that you have never really gotten a girl that liked you back, and plus this is about Olivia, not you Axle.” Said Jesse. What she said was true, he had never gotten a girl that liked him, crush wise. When it was Noon, the kids got to go get three baskets of milk jars. So Jesse, Olivia, and Axel went to go get them. While Axel and Olivia were putting the milk into the baskets, Jesse saw the girl on the side walk.

“Oh, hello again!” She said, Jesse waved back and grabbed her friend’s hands and introduced them to her.

“This is Olivia and Axle, Oh and I’m Jesse.” She said.

“I like your names, I wish I had one.” She said sadly.

“We could give you a name!” Said Jesse, she was thinking a lot about this now. What is her name going to be? “I don’t know what it could be, but I will make sure I find a good one for you!” She said, the girl smiled!

“Can I show you where I live?” Asked the girl.

“Of course!” Said Axel, so she took them down a old alley.

“This is where I live!” She showed them her bed, which was a box, and then she showed them something she called a “secret”.

“Now, don’t tell anyone about this! Or else!” She said,

“Or else, what?” Asked Axel.

“I don’t know, but here is my secret pet, Llama!” She showed them a vanilla colored Llama. She had a blue and pink scarf on. “Her name is Luna, spelled with two Ls.” She said petting the Llama. It was very strange to have a pet Llama, live in an alley, and keep it all a secret from everyone but her new friends. That meant she must be a Orphan too!

“Your an Orphan!” Jesse shouted,

“Yeah, but I really don’t like it very much, the last time I went to a Orphanage, the owner was so mean. I don’t want that to happen again. I had to run away because it was so bad!” She said, sitting in her box bed.

“Maybe you could come to our Orphanage!” Said Olivia, the alley girl smiled, and they brought her to the Orphanage. They told the milk man to take care of Lluna, and he promised that she could see her Llama any time! So the four friends walked to the Orphanage…

Chapter 2 The Rich Family

When the got to the Orphanage with with the alley girl, she stop and hesitated.

“Were am i going to sleep?” she asked looking at Jesse.

“Your going to sleep in our room, no one else is in there except Axel, Olivia, and I!” said Jesse, she didn’t want her to worry so much. So they went in side, and saw Mrs. Smith.

“Well, hello there, now you shale sleep in room 15. I will help you unpack your stuff.” then she looked at her bag, it was a old brown sake, the only things in there were, her stuffed animal Llama, a pencil and note book, and a bandana. “Oh, my! Where is all your stuff?”

“This is it!” she said happily. Then she went upstairs to room 15. They realized that this was not Jesse, Axel, and Olivias room. It was the bullies room! The bullies were so mean and they would totally kick the girls hind.

“Hey, guys look its Bessy and the other stupid heads!” said Mark, he was pretty much the “leader” of the bullies. He pushed the alley girl over and then Jesse, and the rest of them over. They ran out the door and into room 13, where Jesse, Axel, and Olivia slept.

“Oh my goodness, i was petrified in there!” she said, and that gave Jesse an idea.

“Your name will be Petra!” Jesse said happily, she had never felt better then to give her new friend a name!

“Why, because i’m a scaredy cat!” said Petra, annoyed at that time.

“No, Petra is a girls version of Peter!” said Jesse, they all laughed. Jesse and Olivia helped Petra find witch bed she was going to sleep in, while Axle went to get some bread.
When he got there, he saw lots of yummy bread, and he thought, that he might make a friend, or meet someone like Olivia and Jesse did. But he could not find anyone to meet. The milk stand and the bread stand were across the street from each other, so he went over to talk to Lluna while he waited for the bread to be ready.

“Oh Lluna, I wish i could make a friend!” he said sadly, then he saw a blond boy walk by the bread stand asking the baker something.

“Have you seen a dark skinned girl, with black hair in pigtails today?” he said. Axle could not believe it! That was the boy that Olivia met that one day! he ran over to talk to him.

“I have! she lives over there at the Orphanage. I can take you there after i get some bread!” said Axle. of course Lukas had to ask Axle’s name and all, he was really polite, and Axle had never met someone this polite before! They walked and talked, and Axle thought he had made a new friend! they went inside the Orphanage, and into room 13.

“Hey Olivia, guess what Lukas and I have been talking, and he says he is inviting us over for super!” he said, Olivia could not believe her eyes, it really was Lukas!

“Oh, thats awesome! Can Petra come too?” asked Olivia, Lukas looked at Petra like there was a problem with that.

“Sure! The more the merrier!” so he lead them to his house. It was the biggest house the Orphan kids had ever seen! When Lukas rang the door bell, a tall old man opened the door with a smile, he had glasses, gray hair, and blue eyes, Witch made Jesse, interested in the man.

“Hello master Lukas, and friends! What might your names be?” he asked, with a shy smile.

“This is, Jesse, Axel, Petra, and Olivia, the girl i met that one day i told you about!” Lukas said, looking at Olivia. “Oh, this is Mr. Edison Le, he’s the butler!”

“Come inside Master Lukas and friends.” he said, opening the door to a really big house! The Orphans were amazed. Lukas brought them into the dinning room. The table looked like it could fit 10 families at once!
