Jackie Boy

"Jaaaaaack!"

Hide and Seek.

One of Jack's favorite games.

He loved to play any type of game really, tag, hopscotch, marbles, even jump-rope! But, Hide and Seek took one of the very top spots. He was the best in the village. He could climb up high, where no one would look. He could crawl into tiny enclosed spaces that you would think would have been too small for a 5-year-old. Yes, he was the best.

Right now, Jack's sister didn't like that she couldn't find him.

She had been looking for a very long time, and she still couldn't see him. He wasn't in the barn or under the table, he wasn't down by the lake anywhere, and she couldn't find him in the field.

"Jaaaaaack! Jack I don't want to play this anymore," Her call went unanswered.

The two kids she had already found, her two best friends, Ruth and Christopher, were helping her to look. "Pippa, I don't think we are going to find him," Ruth was not having much fun, and it showed in her voice.

"Yes we will, we just have to look harder!" Christopher was nothing if but determined.

"I don't think you'll find me if you keep looking down!"

"Wait, Jack?" Pippa quickly turned around and looked up.

There he was sitting up in a tree. He smiled and quickly swung around so he was hanging by his knees.

"Jack, get down from there!" She always worried for her brother.

His smile not leaving his face, he grabbed a branch and dropped down from the tree.

She quickly ran toward him, friends right on her heels.

"Hey there, little lady," he stooped down to give her a big hug.

With a grin on his face he looked up at the sun.

"About time you little ones get home, or your parents will get mad at me again."

The chorus of sad voices scared away the birds that were foolish enough to stay in the trees while Jack was climbing in them.

"I know, but we'll have more fun tomorrow! I promise!"

As Christopher and Ruth turned to race back home, Jack easily swung his little sister up on his back.

Quietly, Pippa said, "Where were you Jack? We looked all over for you."

As he started to walk, Jack replied, "I was there all along Pips, hiding in the trees, just out of sight."

"You mean you could see me?"

"Of course, what kind of brother would I be to let you and your friends run around all silly?"

"You'd be a chore doing brother that's what! Mama would have had your hide if you had let us run around all alone!"

"You little lady, you! You wouldn't tell on me would you?"

"I would if it meant I didn't have to feed the chickens."

"Hey!"

Laughing, the two of them shared a look as best they could while Pippa was on Jack's back.

"I love you Jackie Boy."

"Love you too, Pippa girl."

Jack woke slowly, not wanting to leave the memory. He found himself tucked in a giant bed, in a blue and white room. He grinned; he was at the North Pole. His dream replayed in his mind as he slowly kicked the covers off. He whispered in the same voice he had used with his sister,

"Love you too, Pippa girl, love you too."
