Ch. 1 - Wishing Upon a Shooting Star

You sat alone in your room, pondering on today's events. Your chocolate hued hair was elbow length and beautifully shiny due to constant washing. The moonlight added to the gloss. Your forest green eyes were the source of all envy from your friends because no one else in your school had green eyes. Strange, really.

You wore a simple yet elegant black nightgown with golden lacy edges that went to your knees. It was an early gift from your parents for your birthday tomorrow. 'I'm gonna be twelve!' you thought, smiling happily. Your parents had promised to take you to the carribean, a place you loved so much. It was your dream to go there and your wish was coming true.

You've studied the carribean in your spare time -- even your room was carribean themed! You looked around and smiled at the view you recieved. ( A/N: Your room will be revealed in the next chapter! ) Standing, your feet met the soft carpet as you shuffled along to your window.

Staring out at the night sky was a hobby of yours. The pure stars twinkling in the dark sky calmed you almost as much as the ocean did. "It's so beautiful out tonight." you said to yourself, contently lowering your forest green eyes. Then, something a blazing white shot across the sky with great speed, leaving a sparkling trail behind it. You gasped in surprise and quickly clasped your hands together, now closing your eyes.

A shooting star is very rare to see. You knew this because, in your eleven years of life, you've never seen one. Ever. It was a beautiful thing to witness. Now, what to wish for..

"I wish," you whispered softly as to not wake anyone,"that something unexpected and fun would happen while I'm at the carribean." Unclasping your hands and opening your eyes, you happily lay down on your soft bed and thought about the possibilities of the carribean.

Clear waters, warm sand, fresh air.. there was so much to look forward to!

You were glad that you watched the first and second of Pirates of the Carribean 70 times this week. No matter how hard you tried, though, you couldn't memorize every line. It was a problem you have endured for your entire life and you've learned to live with it.

After all, why would you need to? It wasn't like you were going to see any pirates out in the carribean..

..right?
