- Problem/Solution: Piper made Brady and Yolanda take care of Bruna. First Brady wanted to go fishing with them but, Piper told Brady that Bruna likes him the best. He listened and stayed with his parents to take care of Bruna. Piper, Mom, Sam, Tori, and some of the gypsy club members went fishing. Piper really wants to go fishing but Sam and Tori don't. When they finally get on their boat, they try to catch a fish. Right away Sam caught a big silver fish. She enjoyed fishing. So did Piper and Tori.

Text Connection: I can relate to Piper because everytime I want to do something, my brother dosent want to do it. One time I wanted to draw and play games, but he wanted to sleep.
