""Really?" "No!""

T
here was once a boy named Andy. He lived in a big house with his older sister, mother, father and younger brother. Andy was 10.

His sister, Gwendolyn, who was 16, often had friends sleeping over. And most of the time her friends used his room to sleep in too!

One day, Gwendolyn's best friend Allison was sleeping over. They took over his room as usual. Andy was on one side of his bed reding a comic book, and the two girls were on the other side gossipping.
"I can't believe it! You got a new car?" Gwen shrieked.
"Yes! You want to come with me for the first ride?"
"Of course!""

Andy heard it all.
"Can I come too?" he asked.
"Sure!"
"Really?" he asked hopefully.
"No! But you can come for a ride once we've used it a few times!"
"Really?"
"No!" "But I'll bring you for a ride next week!"
"Really?"
"No!"
And Allison kept making up things to do with her car, and each time he hopefully asked
"Really?"
she retorted, "No!"!
"Come on, Allie! I cant wait to ride in your car!"

So Allison and Gwen were out for half an hour, then the next morning Allison went home.

Day after day passed. Week after week passed and Andy was still moping about Allison's car. Until one day his birthday came, and he got a great bike from his parents.
"All right! I can't wait to try it out!"

So after the party, he went out to try out his new bike. Allison, who lived a few houses away from his, saw him riding around the street.
"Can I see your bike?" she asked Andy.
"Sure! Hop on!" he replied.
"Really?" she asked.
"No!"
