"This is their baby sister, Lizzie." Maria finished, using the name that she had heard Lauren use.

Lauren let out the breath that she was unaware that she was holding. She was both thankful and surprised that Maria didn't give her away.

"In that case," Stacy began again, "it would seem that, unfortunately, she's starting to take after her witch of an older sister. I caught her bullying Tracy in the pool. And then she called her a liar!"

"That's not all, Mommy!" The girl, who's name was apparently Tracy, called out from behind her mother's legs. "She also called me a snot-nosed brat that was raised by wild, inbred apes! Whatever "inbred" means."

Stacy let out a low growl and glared at the little diapered woman, Lauren smiling sheepishly as she gulped and gave a nervous chuckle.

"Lizzie!" Maria shouted in faux shock, "I can't believe you would do such a thing!"

"But I - "

"No buts, young lady!" Maria snapped, keeping up the charade of a caretaker to a young child. "You are going to apologize to Mrs. Stacy and her daughter, and then you're going to receive a punishment for your actions! Now apologize!"
