Runaway Children
((Backdated to this.))
To lose one child can be regarded as bad luck; to lose both smacks of carelessness.
It was with this aggravating thought that Susan stormed off into the park, seeking both Pearl and Calvin, or at least news of either. She was worried for Pearl, of course, the girl being new and all; but more than that, the attachment to Calvin that she hadn't quite realised she'd developed was tugging fiercely at her, and though she wouldn't admit it if asked, she was really worried that she'd deeply upset him, and wondered how exactly this could be fixed.
After a moment's pause at the statue, she picked a direction more or less at random and struck out for Fantasyland. Anyone who met her would probably note that she seemed much, much more irritable than usual.
((Feel free to help, hinder, or reassure. I figure Calvin will let himself be found when he's good and ready. ^_^))

It should not, she reflected, have been this hard to find a small boy and a toy tiger.
