"Faith, don't forget to call Kairi before you leave okay, honey?" Faith's mom called from downstairs. "Are you sure she won't mind Marissa and Dean?" Faith called. No answer. Her mom had already left.She fell back onto her bed, "Why does my mom have to be a damn scientist?"

Faith snatched her cell phone from her nightstand and dialed Kairi's number. A male voice answered,"Hello?" "Who's this? I thought Kairi lived alone." "Uh,no. There's Sora, Leon,Cloud, and this is Riku." Faith sighed,"Well,can I talk to Kairi?"

"Sure. Hang on." Kairi's voice came on,"Hey! How are you?" "Uh,Yeah. I'm fine Kairi. I have to ask, do you mind if I bring Marissa and Dean?" Kairi gulpled,'S, sure. But why?" Faith rolled her eyes,"Oh!Right. I'm gonna leave my snakes home and let them get lost? Or worse,get them taken away. I'm about to go. Later." and she hung up.

Faith stuffed her phone in her back pack and ran a hand through her short blond hair in frustration. "Hey Mariss." The snake just gave a slight hiss. Marissa was a boa, mamba mix. Although she wasn't poisonous, ahe was still wicked fast and 8.5 feet. Where as Dean couldn't care less. He was a ball python and 18 feet long. Faith rushed to get the rest of her things packed and get the snakes into their carriers. About five minutes later she sighed, grabbed her bag, the snake carriers , and headed out the door.

She got in her car and said to herself'"To think. I'm eighteen and my parents want to make sure I'm somewhere safe. Who can blame them? Me!This neighborhood sucks!!!!" there was a hiss of agreement from Marissa. Faith smiled," I can always count on you Mariss." and drove off.
