Max grinned as Marola sat in his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her to sit back on him.
"Well, now, don't I just feel all privileged?" he said, laughing,"It's been a while since we did this, you know? You used to sit in my lap all the time when we were kids."

"Which is exactly why I'm doing it now," she said as she leaned against him, putting her head on his shoulder. "Believe me, if you were anyone else, I would never sit in your lap." She stared off at the ceiling. "Sometimes I wish we could just go back...to when we were small. Things were simpler then."

Max let out a sigh and nodded, resting his head against Marola's.
"Yeah...I know," he said, closing his eyes and thinking of when they were kids,"It was all so simpler and easier. All we had to do was be around each other and we were fine. We didn't care about anyone or anything else...."
He laughed as he remembered them as kids. They had been inseparable back then. They were always together unless their parents had forced them the visitor to go to their own home, which had usually been Max when he'd tried to stay at Marola's. But, Marola had stayed with his family a lot.
And, whenever she had, she had always sat in his lap whenever they were just sitting around, and he'd have his arms around her waist, just like he did now. It was something they hadn't done in a long time....
...Something he'd missed for a long time......

Marola smiled in a day-dreamy kind of way. She remembered all those days they were together. when they were younger. Max was her best friend, and one of the few she had ever had. She mostly spent time with her father whenever he was home. She knew her dad didn't approve of her having a boy as her best friend, but she was insistent, saying her had every right to choose who her friends were. Her mind roamed through the years...
FLASHBACK:
"MAXEL!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!" A much younger Marola ran through the streets of Gil'ead, looking for her best friend. She had been sitting at home all day, but since her daddy wasn't home, she got bored quickly. She went to Max's home, but his parents told her he was out. Probably on his way to her home, actually. She walked through the streets, calling after her friend. "Oh, Maaaaaaaaxxxxx!!! Come out, come out wherever you are!!!"

Ah young Max turned in the street hearing his name called out. It was Rolie, he thought, grinning mischievously. She was the only one who would be calling out for him like that.
He hid behind some crates as he heard her coming close, running around looking for him. As she started to run past, he jumped out at her, grabbing her and hugging her around the shoulders and startling her at the same time.
He grinned and laughed as he stood there with her like that and said,"Gotcha Rolie."

Marola let out a tiny squeek when Maxel glomped her.
"Maxel!!!" she said, giggling. "Why did you scare me? Didn'tcha hear me lookin for you?" She gave him a hug back. "I'm bored!" she said, giving just a tiny little pout.

Max laughed and smiled at Marola and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Then let's go to the lake!" he said, grabbing her hand in his and pulling her along behind him,"C'mon! Let's go!!!"

Marola laughed and held Max's hand as the two children ran all the lake. The older people watched the children run in the streets. Most of them had seen the mischievious pair all over the city before, but never really found out nor cared who these two little shrimps were.
Marola collapsed by the lakeside, breathing heavily, still laughing. "That was a long way to run, Maxel!" she said.

Max laughed, kneeling on the ground next to Marola.
"But we made it here so fast, Rolie!" he said, grinning,"Maybe we could even outrun your dad! What do you think, huh? Wouldn't that be great?"

Marola laughed a little at that.
"Maybe we could outrun Daddy, but we could never beat his dragon at a race. He's really fast!" She giggled giddily as she thought of the one time her dad had let her ride on his huge red dragon. It was so fun, she wanted to do it again and again. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Max.
"Maxel, you know what I wanna be when I grow up? I wanna ride dragons and work for the king just like my daddy!"

Max grinned.
"I wanna ride a dragon too!" he said, laughing,"But I don't wanna work for the King. I think he's mean."
He crawled over and sat down cross-legged next to Marola.
"But, if you work for him, I'll work for him too so I can stay close to you, Rolie," he said, reaching over and hugging her.

Marola smiled and hugged Max back tightly.
"I'd like you to stay close to you," she said. "I don't ever ever wanna leave you. I'm gonna be your friend forever!"

Max grinned back at Marola.
"I'd like that!" he said, laughing,"Maybe we'll get married one day too!"
He laughed and then jumped up and ran toward the water, yelling,"Last one in's a rotten dragon's egg!"

Marola laughed as she ran after Max. They were about the same speed when they ran.
"Hey, no fair!" she said as they splashed into the water, "you got a head start!"

Max grinned, turning around and grabbing a hold of Marola's arms and jumped backward into the water, pulling her under with him, laughing.
They landed on their butts in shallows, the water coming up to their necks. Max laughed, hugging Marola close.
"I love you Rolie," he said as they sat there in the water.
