"Luv you mom!" Mimi kissed her mom on the cheek before she went to summer camp. Hoping in the bus, she waved at her mom one last time.
"Come back soon Mimi!"
"I will mom!!" Her mom watched the bus fade away into a little speck.
Mimi, sitting alone, looked around the bus. She couldn't find anyone she knew. Oh well, she thought, I guess Im gonna have to make some new friends. But then, she saw some guy sitting alone in the bus too. He was wearing a light green sleeveless and some tan pants. Wow, he's cute, she thought. So the next time the bus stopped, she stood up and sat next to the guy.
He pretended not to notice her. He just looked out the window, when Mimi said, "H-Hi."
"Huh," The guy said dazed, "Oh hi."
"My name is Mimi. What's yours?"
He held out his hand. "My name is Matt." Mimi blushed as they shaked hands.
For the rest of the ride, the two just sat silently, talking only occasionally. Until...
*bump*
"What was that?"
"I don't know Mimi, but the bus isn't moving..."
It was only 6:00 pm, but it was already dark outside. And the bus lights shut off.
Mimi yelled, "MATT, WHAT'S HAPPENING!?!?!?"
"Don't worry Mimi, we'll be fine!" Matt assured her.
Suddenly, the ground under them crumbled, and a hole started forming.
"What the....??" The bus driver said. The hole was getting larger and larger, when the bus started falling...falling...falling....
"MATT!!!!!!!!!! This can't be happening!!! We're all gonna crash and die!!" Mimi started wailing.
"No Mimi, stop thinking that!! We're not gonna die!" I hope, Matt thought as he held Mimi tight.
In the darkness, Mimi happened to see six glowing lights around the bus, including her own teardrop necklace, which was glowing green. But the other lights were glowing different colors like purple, red, and blue. When she tapped Matt to show him, she noticed he also had a glowing necklace....it looked like a circle with wings, and it was glowing yellow. At the same time, Mimi felt unusually sincere, and Matt was lucky he had a friend nearby. Mimi passed out...
She woke up in a forest. Her necklace wasn't glowing anymore, but she got up and ran looking for Matt.
"Matt!! Matt, where are you??"
"Im here, don't worry." Matt trudged through the dirt. Mimi smiled and gave him a big hug.
"So, I guess this is the camp," Matt said.
"Yea, but there isn't anybody here!"
So Matt and Mimi started looking for people. They got to a beach where there were a group of 5 people.
Mimi said, "Matt, these people are so familiar I think they were on the bus, but...let's check em out."
When they got near, Mimi noticed that they were the same people who possessed the glowing lights.
"You see, Matt? They were the same people as us, we should introduce ourselves."
"Whatever,"Matt replied.
Mimi ran under the beating heat, when she ran into the group.
"Hi," Said Mimi, out of breath, "Im Mimi."
"And Im Matt!"
"Kool," said a girl from the group, "My name is Sora. And this is Tai, Joe, Izzy, and...."
"TK!?!?" Matt yelled. He ran to his little brother and hugged him. "Im so happy youre alive!! Wow!!!!"
"Wait, wait, wait," Mimi announced, "I have something to say. Everyone here has a pendant, including me, and they were glowing while we were falling. What were u all thinking during the fall?"
"Well," Tai started, "I wasn't sure what was gonna happen to us, but I was pretty brave."
"And I thought we were gonna die, so I thought about how much I loved my family and how I was really gonna miss them,"Sora continued.
Izzy broke in, "I knew for sure we were going to be alright."
Then Jo said, "I was relying on somebody else to save us!"
Matt said, "I needed a friend."
"And I hoped that we would be ok!" TK finished.
"Weird," Mimi thought out loud, "I was just suddenly feeling sincere. Do you suppose that what we thought had to do with our pendants glowing?"
"Well, the first thing I want to know is how we got here in the first place, and why we're the only ones here!" Jo shouted.
"Maybe only we got here because our pendants were glowing."
"Maybe," Tai thought.
And then, Mimi woke up with her head against Matt's shoulder in the bus.
To be continued...
