"Oh this sucks." Sky breathed to herself as she sat on a cloud. For the second time in two days, a little kid has gotten there kite string stuck on her boot.
She looked like an angry puffer fish when again, a kite got stuck on her foot, except, whoever it was, was trying to pull her down.
"EH!" Sky yelled as she grabbed onto her sack, trying to stay where she was.
"Sky!" Someone hissed from down on the ground.
"Michael?" Sky asked. It had been two years since she'd been in Greenwhich, but she recognized that voice anywhere.
"Yes! Come down here, we need your help." He said.
"Ok, let me get this stupid string off first." She replied and she took out a small knife from her bag, and cut the string, and Sky landed on the ground with a massive thud!
"Good to see you!" Michael said helping her up, then hugging her.
"My, what a handsome young man you've become." Sky said taking in his features.
"Thank you, you've started to get lovelier yourself." He said.
"Where's Jane at? She's got to be 14 by now." Sky asked.
"With Bert and Mary Poppins, I think." He replied thinking hard to remember where his sister could be.
"She didn't run off again did she?" Sky asked as she put a strand her now blond/brown hair behind her ear, that had slipped from her ponytail.
"No, we've quit doing that. Father is now paying more attention to us, so we don't have to." Michael explained.
"OK, well, I want to see Mary Poppins myself, so lead the way." She said and off they went.
Michael and Sky walked through the crowded streets where news was buzzing of America considering entering World War 1, and from what Sky had seen of the wretched war, she'd wish they'd stay out.
"You know what I just realized?" Michael said as the walked down the sidewalk.
"What?" Sky asked.
"You look more and more like Mary Poppins with every step you take." He replied.
"What?!" Sky shouted.
"Come on, let's run, maybe it'll slow the process down." Michael said and they broke into a flat run.
Michael ran up to a house that Sky didn't recognize and she stared at him as he wrapped on the door.
"I'm comin'!" They heard from inside.
"That's Bert." Michael whispered.
"I know." She almost squeaked. She'd missed everyone so much, including her first friend Bert.
When the door swung open, Sky pumbbled Bert and he nearly fell over and he would have to, if Uncle Albert hadn't been there right behind him.
"Um miss, I'm married." He said uneasily as he nudged Sky off him.
"Bert! It's me! Sky!" She said as she let her hair out of her ponytail and letting it fall around her shoulders.
"Sky? I can't believe it! You look so pretty now! Oh! I know Mary 'ill wanna see ya to." Bert said.
"First, can I see something?" Sky asked as she reached into her pocket and she pulled out her tape measurer.
"Sure." Bert replied.
"I haven't measured myself in a while, I think it's time I do." She said as she took the bottom end and Bert pulled it to the floor.
Sky, not meaning to, snatched it up, knocking Bert to the floor, and she read it to herslf and as she did so, everyone stared in awe as her hair changed to dark brown and her eyes shifted to blue.
"Angela Sky Poppins, Finally Practically Perfect." She read aloud and she saw the look on everyone's faces and she searched for a mirror and when she saw her reflection, she, of course, fainted.
Sorry it was so short, but chapter one is coming up, maybe Thursday or Friday morning. Byeeee!
