Ya hear me?” Mama yelled. “Yes, Mama.” Rudolph went into his room, packed up his things, and snuck out the bedroom window. He was going to marry Audria, no matter what their parents thought about it. Rudolph snuck up to Audria’s window. Psst. Psst. Audria came over to her window and opened it. “Audria, pack your things. If we wanna be together we have to move to California,” Rudolph exclaimed. “What, why?” asked Audria. “I love you. I found a train going to California where we can get married and live a happy life without our families always feuding,” Rudolph told her. “Rudolph, we just met yesterday!” Audria said. “But yes, I’ll go. I love you too, Rudolph!” “Thank goodness! The train leaves soon! We have to go now,” exclaimed Rudolph, happier than ever. Audria packed up her stuff and snuck out the bedroom window with
