"An den! An den! Mama! Mama!" The young toddler screamed out to Ava as she was trying to tell Ava some made up story while they were walking back to the dorms after going to the park. Ava just laughed as she looked at the toddler. "Okay Mal. Yes I'm listening keep going," Ava told the toddler who smiled as she continued to tell Ava a made up story.

"Oh really?" Ava asked the toddler playfully and laughed more when the toddler nodded her head not being able to tell that Ava was faking her reactions. "Yeah! An den! An den! An den! Da dwagin was wike woaw! Wike da!" The small toddler told Ava as she began to run around and make roaring sounds trying to be like a dragon.

"Uh huh yeah I see! Oh look Mal we're home," Ava told the toddler making the small girl clap her hands excitedly. "Yay! Howm!" Mal screamed out excitedly making Ava laugh again as she opened the door and the toddler went running into the dorm.

Ava smiled a little when she saw her sorta friend Caitlin in her dorm. "Oh hey," Ava told Caitlin as she was trying to make more of an effort to be friendly with her. Caitlin just gave her a nervous smile as she looked up at her.

"Hey um door was unlocked," Caitlin nervously told Ava as she had been bringing Ava the gift that Nolan had left for her before he died and she was going to just drop it off and leave once she realized Ava wasn't home, but Ava got back before she could.

"Yeah um I was just taking Mal out for some exercise and fresh air at the park. I thought you would be at the student union doing that volunteer stuff," Ava told Caitlin who just took a deep breath as she held the gift to Ava.

"This is from Nolan. His mom thought it was for me, but he never remembered my birthday, so it has to be for you," Caitlin told Ava who just quickly grabbed the present from Caitlin as she began to open it.

Ava immediately filled with sadness as she saw what the gift was as it was so meaningful to her and their relationship. The small toddler just ran over to Ava as she tried to see what the gift was.

"Wa id is! Wa id is! Mama wa id is! Can I see! Mama can I see! Why you sa?" The small two year old screamed out making Ava sigh as she looked at the toddler. "It's nothing Mal and I'm fine," Ava told the toddler who just nodded as she went back to her toys.

"Hey this means a lot that you would bring this to me," Ava told Caitlin who just nodded. "Yeah well I should get back to the student union. I have like 800 more bags to stuff," Caitlin told Ava, making Ava feel bad as she realized that she wasn't the only one struggling and Caitlin was nice enough to make sure she got Nolan's gift when she didn't have to.

"Actually wait up I'm coming with you," Ava told Caitlin, making her give Ava a confused look. "But I thought you were busy and what about Mal," Caitlin asked Ava as she pointed to the toddler that was running around and knocking stuff down making Ava wince a little as she knew it was going to take forever to clean up.

"You went out of your way to do something nice for me. And I made you promise besides maybe Mal will get all of her energy out and pass out early. Plus I let Zoe have my coat and I want it back," Ava told Caitlin who just laughed they both left the room, but Ava quickly ran back to the dorm when she realized she forgot about Mal.

"Oh my gosh! I forgot about Mal again! I need to start putting a bell on that kid!" Ava screamed out as she ran back to the dorm and opened the door picking up the toddler that had managed to completely trash the dorm in the short amount of time Ava had left her alone and she was covered in purple and green marker.

"Hewo mama!" The young two year old told Ava with an innocent little smile making Ava just sigh as she looked at the dorm. "Mal what did you do," Ava asked the toddler and the girl just smiled

"I fis id!" The young girl told Ava with a sweet smile making Ava sigh again as she wanted so badly to be mad at the girl for trashing the dorm and coloring all over herself, but she just couldn't do it with how adorable Mal was being.

"Okay well now I have to refix it later. And let's get that marker off of you," Ava told the small girl as she grabbed a baby wipe and tried to wipe the markers off, but it wouldn't come off making Ava scrub harder in frustration.

"Owie! Mama sop I'd! Da huws!" The young two year old cried out as she began to fight and squirm. "I know Mal, but I have to get it off of you! If you didn't color on yourself this wouldn't have happened," Ava told the girl as she continued to scrub hard causing the toddler to keep trying to fight it until Ava had enough and eventually just gave up.

"Okay fine Mal I give up! You can just be Barney today," Ava told the toddler in frustration as she had tried to get the marker off the toddler, but it didn't work. Mal just smiled as she clapped her hands excitedly. "Yay! Bawey! Cawos sow me id! I wob Bawey!" The small two year old screamed out excitedly as she began to sing Barney songs making Ava groan as she knew she messed up as the toddler sang the songs the entire way to the student union.

Caitlin smiled when she saw Ava again. "Oh you did decide to come. I didn't think you were coming after you left halfway here," Cailtlin told Ava who laughed as she pointed to the toddler covered in purple and green marker while singing songs.

"I accidentally forgot this little adorable trouble maker. And when I found her she was covered in markers and had completely trashed the dorms. I swear you take your eyes off of them for a second and all hell breaks loose. They are so tiny, but so destructive," Ava told Caitlin who just laughed as she looked at the toddler giving off the most adorably innocent look.

"Oh wow. Well I'm still glad you decided to still come help," Caitlin told Ava who just smiled a little and nodded. "Yeah it's no problem, so what do I do," Ava asked Caitlin who just started explaining what to do and Ava nodded as she began to fill the bags, but she stopped when she saw the toddler trying to copy her.

"Aw Mal what are you doing," Ava playfully asked the toddler, making the girl smile as she held up an item. "I be wike you!" The young two year old told Ava, making her and Caitlin laugh as Ava picked up the toddler and placed her on the table.

"Okay come here. You can be my little helper. Now when I ask you for something I want you to hand it to me okay," Ava told the toddler who smiled and nodded excitedly making Ava smile as well as she could keep Mal busy while also helping her sister learn a little bit.

"Yay!" The young girl screamed out excitedly as she began to help Ava fill up the bags. About an hour later Dylan showed up as well making Ava smile a little as she was actually starting to see him as a friend now too.

They continued to fill up bags and boxes for hours as they were actually starting to bond. Ava laughed a little when Dylan got upset about her eating all the candy corn causing them to all start playfully fighting and teasing each other. While they were doing that the small toddler saw a box as she immediately filled with happiness and climbed inside as she began to play around in the box.

Zoe just watched it all in disgust and annoyance as she went over to the group. "Glad to see the kids are having fun while the adults are doing all the work. And Ava you aren't even watching the actual kid! Where even is she," Zoe told the group in annoyance making Ava start mocking her.

"I know exactly where my sister is," Ava told Zoe, making Zoe roll her eyes as she left. Once Zoe left Ava immediately began to search for Mal with her eyes and sighed in relief when she saw the small girl sitting in a box. "Oh thank gosh!" Ava told her friends, making them laugh as they looked to see what Ava was talking about.

"So you did lose your sister and you know what she is kinda right," Caitlin told the two who just nodded. "Yeah you're right let's get back to work," Dylan told the two, making Caitlin laugh. "No I meant the fun part," Caitlin told the group, making Ava laugh as she continued to play around the styrofoam pieces throwing them at Dylan playfully.

"Yeah you know I think I actually like hanging out with you guys," Ava told the two as they continued to talk as their silly fun turned into serious Dana talk and they agreed to go check out some more stuff relating to it all.

"I need to tell you something. Come on we have to drive there, but I need to get Mal first," Ava told the two as she remembered something about the night Nolan died that might be able to help them. She then sighed as she walked over to the box that Mal was playing in.

"Mal what are you doing," Ava asked the toddler who smiled. "Box!" The small girl told Ava, making Ava laugh. "Okay, but come on we have somewhere to be now," Ava told the toddler who shook her head no as she pulled the flaps down.

"Okay well I guess then Mal is just going to get shipped away with the other donations. Wow someone is going to get a free almost brand new toddler. Okay well I guess my work here is done," Ava told the toddler playfully and laughed when the toddler just opened up the flap and waved.

"Otay bye bye!" The small girl told Ava making her roll her eyes playfully as she looked at the toddler. "Okay Mal come on. I'm serious we gotta leave and I am not letting you get shipped away," Ava told the toddler as she picked her up from the box causing Mal to start crying as she didn't want to leave the box.

When she finally reached the others they just looked at the toddler in confusion. "What happened?" Caitlin asked Ava who sighed as they started heading towards her car. "She's mad at me for not letting her get shipped away with all of the donations," Ava told the two who just started laughing as they made it to Ava's car and got in.

"Wait actually," Dylan asked Ava who just sighed. "Yes actually! Toddlers are strange creatures I swear! Anyway now onto what I was saying. I have to tell you guys something about what happened the night Nolan died," Ava told the others as she began to drive towards the location she wanted to show them.
