Genie smiled as she walked around Ole Town. Rosabella had come along with her.
"So where are we walking to now?" Rosabella asked curiously.
"You'll see soon enough." Genie stated as she led the way. Ole Town was compacted enough that you could actually walk to it. Most things were a good five minute drive apart that not having a car wasn't really an option.
Genie smiled as she saw the familiar old wooden gate. She walked into the area. The ground was mainly rock here. Water feel into a small pond. There was a wooden bridge that went over the small pond.
"What is this place?" Rosabella perked up with great interest.
"It's a koi pond. Come look!" Genie led her to the edge of the pond. "See, there's one!" She pointed at a grey koi fish that swam by.
"Why are most of them grey?" Rosabella asked after several minutes of watching the fish in silence.
Genie shrugged. She didn't know at all. "Maybe its the water or something," she theorized.
Rosabella nodded. She looked at her watch. It was almost 7. "I have to get home for dinner."
"Me too," Genie sighed. She wondered if her parents would be arguing when she got home again. Hopefully there would be ravioli in the cabinet. She could get it out of the can in her room and ignore them if they were. "I can drive you home." Genie offered.
"Thanks."
The two began walking back to Genie's car. It was an old car, but it worked. She parked it at the cemetery since it wouldn't be in anyone's way there.
