Ritsuko had left Keiko alone for a few weeks. It was time to mess with her again. Ritsuko thought really hard about how she could hurt Keiko this time, and then she got the greatest idea. Ritsuko calmed went off to look for Keiko.

Keiko was outside playing by herself like she usually did. Ritsuko called out Keiko’s name and Keiko looked up really quickly to see Ritsuko walking towards her. Keiko grabbed her stuffed toad and held it close to her. Then Keiko cautiously approached Ritsuko.

“What do you want,” Keiko mumbled while looking at the ground. Keiko didn’t want anything to do with Ritsuko at the moment. She was fine by herself.

“Come on! I wanna how you something! It’s really cool!” an excited Ritsuko told Keiko while tugging at Keiko’s shirt to get her to follow her. Keiko didn’t want to follow Ritsuko; she wanted Ritsuko to leave her alone.

“No. I want to play by myself. Okay?” Keiko nervously told Ritsuko. Keiko didn’t want to upset Ritsuko, but she didn’t want to follow Ritsuko either. She knew she was probably going to get in trouble for something she didn’t do, and she was getting sick of that.

“Please? I really want to show you! Please, can I show you?” Ritsuko begged of Keiko. This made Keiko really nervous. If she didn’t follow Ritsuko, Ritsuko would get her in some kind of trouble and if she [idid[/i follow Ritsuko, she would get in trouble anyways. Keiko really didn’t have a choice, so she told Ritsuko she would follow her. This made Ritsuko really happy. “Come on!” Ritsuko excitedly yelled tugging on Keiko to follow her.

Ritsuko pulled Keiko around until thy got into the kitchen. Ritsuko then let Keiko go and she started to go through the cupboards. Keiko started to get nervous again. If their mother saw Ritsuko going through the cupboards, they would both be in trouble. Keiko was about to beg Ritsuko to stop when Ritsuko emerged from one of the cupboards holding a plastic bag. Keiko started to fidget, she didn’t want to know what Ritsuko planned to do with the bag, but she asked anyways.

“Well, if you have a plastic bag, and you climb on top of something really tall, and then jump off with the bag, you can fly!” Ritsuko excitedly explained to Keiko. Keiko didn’t believe her. She knew you could get hurt like that.

“No you can’t,” Keiko told Ritsuko, “Only birds can fly.” Ritsuko wasn’t going to let Keiko off that easily. Ritsuko grabbed Keiko’s hand and started to drag her outside. “Wait! Where are we going?” Keiko panicked.

“We’re going to go try to fly! I know it’s gonna work!” Ritsuko explained. Keiko didn’t like that idea. She pulled away from Ritsuko and stood there. “Keiko, come on! Oh, we can go put Froggy in your room before we go. Okay?” Keiko still didn’t want to go, but she did anyways. They went and put Froggy, Keiko’s stuffed toad, in her room before they went outside.

“Um, Ritsuko, who’s going to try to fly, and uh, where are we going to do it?” Keiko asked Ritsuko. Ritsuko looked at Keiko like she was dumb. Then she started laughing. “What?” Keiko snapped at Ritsuko.

“You’re going to try to fly,” explained Ritsuko, “By jumping off of the picnic table!” Keiko really didn’t like this idea anymore.

“No! I’m not gonna do it! It’s your idea, you do it!” Keiko started to cry. She didn’t want to be around Ritsuko anymore. She didn’t want to get hurt. Keiko turned around when Ritsuko tackled her to the ground. “Go away!” Keiko screamed at Ritsuko. Ritsuko knew Keiko wasn’t going to go along with this, so Ritsuko started to threaten Keiko.

“Keiko, if you don’t do this, I’ll hurt Froggy!” Ritsuko told Keiko. Ritsuko knew Keiko didn’t want anything to happen to Froggy, so she would probably listen. Ritsuko looked at Keiko sternly until Keiko gave her answer.

“Fine. I’ll do it,” Keiko told Ritsuko. Keiko didn’t want anything to happen to Froggy, so she decided to listen to Ritsuko.

“Good! Now take this bag and go climb on the table,” Ritsuko told Keiko handing her the plastic bag. Even though she still didn’t want to do this, Keiko grabbed the bag and climbed on top of the table. “Good!” Ritsuko complemented Keiko. “Now, hold up the bag like a parachute, and jump!”

Keiko nervously swallowed and held up the bag, and jumped. As soon as Keiko hit the ground, she knew something was wrong. A sharp pain ripped through Keiko’s arm and she screamed in pain.

“Keiko! Keiko! What happened?” Ritsuko asked Keiko nervously. Keiko’s arm didn’t look right and Keiko was screaming and crying. “Stay here, I’ll go get Mommy!” Ritsuko ran off to find their mother.

A few minutes later Mrs. Watanabe came running over to Keiko. Mrs. Watanabe saw Keiko’s broken arm and quickly picked her up and went over to her husband. “Akira’, I’m taking Keiko to the hospital. She broke her arm. I’ll be home in a few hours.” Mr. Watanabe understood and went back to his work.

Later Mrs. Watanabe came home with Keiko. Keiko’s arm was in a cast and she was still crying. Mr. Watanabe went over to the two and Mrs. Watanabe told her husband what happened. Mr. Watanabe understood and went off to find Ritsuko.

At dinner that night, Keiko was having a hard time eating because if her cast so Mrs. Watanabe was feeding her. Ritsuko kept shooting Keiko dirty looks from across the table. Ritsuko was in big trouble for what she got Keiko to do. Keiko didn’t care, she wasn’t going to listen to Ritsuko anymore. At least for the next month. Keiko listened to Ritsuko and got hurt doing so. So she was going to try to learn to stand up for herself and say no.
