"Raelynn! Raelynn wake up! Today's the day Rae-Rae!" I heard a familiar voice yelling.
"Please go away Kimi." My voice murmured sleepily. A small 'humph' was heard, and then I felt something heavy land on me. "Ouf! Kimi get off of me!" I yelled and rolled my little sister and I off the bed.
"Ow! Rae-Rae, why'd you do that? I hit my head." Kimi whined, cradling her small, brunette head.
I stood up, albeit a little clumsily. "Well why'd you jump on me? I think we're even now." Kimi rolled onto her back and stared up at me.
"Fine, we're even. But don't you remember what today is? You're the one who planned it. Look at the suitcase. See it?" Kimi pointed towards a black and white suitcase sitting by my door. "See thaaaaat? See iiiit?" She prodded me.
A flash of excitement hit me as I did, indeed, remember what today was. And so I jumped up and down and squealed like a little kid. "Ohmygosh! Yeah! Today is gonna rock!" I yelled happily.
Kimi flashed one of her biggest smiles at me and ran out of the room. "Well you better get ready for today. Isn't Cloud and Dani supposed to come pick us up around 7:30?" She yelled. I stopped and thought for a moment.
'OH! Yeah, I remember now! Cloud was gonna pick up Dani and then me and Kimi so we'd have something to carry our bags.' My memory isn't very good when I wake up.
I ran to my closet and pulled out a dark gray shirt that said 'Lost' on it (like the TV show Lost) and a pair of slightly ripped up blue jeans. Satisfied with that, I grabbed a slightly baggy hooded zip up sweatshirt and pulled that on over my top. I placed my worn black Converse High Tops on my feet and brushed my hair through a couple time. Overall, my outfit looked like I was going to be traveling for a while. Which I was. I stepped into the hallway and then into the bathroom to finish getting ready. When I was completely ready for the day, I went back into my room to get my suitcase and carry on bag and backpack/purse thing. Making sure everything was how I needed it to be, I carefully started to drag my stuff down the steps.
As I reached the bottom of the steps, I felt two arms engulf me. They started to shake me back and forth. I realized it was my mom.
"Um, mom… Do you think you could not hug me so hard? It's a little difficult to breath!" I gasped, returning her hug. She dropped her arms from around me and brushed back her dark blonde hair.
"I'm sorry honey. I'm just going to miss you. And my little Kimi girl. Is there really no way I'll be able to call you after you take off?" My mother was a natural worrywart. She always wanted to be sure of everything before I or we did anything.
I nodded and followed her into the kitchen. "We'll be in another country mom. I don't have world wide coverage." I explained to her. She handed me a plate of eggs. I ate them gratefully.
"Alright. I was just making sure. Where's Kimi? She needs to get down here to eat before Cloud gets here." She mumbled. I was just finishing my eggs when Kimi came bouncing down the steps.
"Momma! Are you gonna get everyone up before we leave? I want to make sure I say goodbye to everyone! Even Dozer!" Dozer was our mutt. We weren't exactly sure what he was.
Mom nodded and gave Kimi her plate of food, then turned and went to go wake everyone up. Kimi was wearing a green skirt with yellow leggings and a yellow t-shirt.
"Are you ready Kimi? You sure you want to go? Cause we'll be away for at least 2 months." I questioned my little sister.
She scoffed at me. "Of course I want to go! Who wouldn't? A chance to visit Mickey's Castle over in Kingdom of Hearts? I definitely don't want to miss that!"
I sighed. Guess she was coming after all. I don't know why, but I suddenly had the feeling that she shouldn't go on the trip. But, I'd tried and she's going.
I heard a vehicle pull into the drive way followed by a loud honking. "Cloud and Dani must be here." I said. The door suddenly opened and hit the wall with a loud smack.
"RAELYNN! I HAVE RETURNED!" Dani yelled as she walked into the kitchen.
I giggled and walked over to her. "Well then, welcome home Dani-girl!" I gave her a slight hug.
"YAY! Dani's here!" Kimi yelled happily and ran to give said girl a hug. Dani hugged her back.
"Hello Kimi! Ready for the trip?" Dani giggled.
Kimi nodded excitedly. "Yes I am! I can't wait!"
Dani smiled at her. "You sure you're OK with going? We'll be gone for a long time. You won't see everyone for a long while."
Kimi rolled her eyes as she sat back down to eat. "Why does everyone keep asking me that? I've said this before and I'll say it again, I'm going and there ain't no way you guys are going to convince me I'm not." She said stubbornly. Dani shrugged and looked at me in a way that said 'Well, I tried.'
I shrugged at her and looked behind her. I could see Cloud hanging around by the door. He never did feel comfortable in other people's homes.
"Hello Cloud!" I greeted and walked over to him. He gave me a slight smile.
"Hi Raelynn." He greeted in return. I hugged him and he went stiff. Cloud wasn't the type to give, or receive, hugs. But I did it anyways.
My mother decided to come downstairs with my three other siblings in tow and my father. I had two brothers, Aaron and Roy (both older then me) and one other sister, Ally (who was younger then Kimi).
"Hello Cloud. Hi Dani." My mom smiled when she came into view. They replied happily to my mother. My siblings and parents crowded Kimi and I and we received multiple hugs and kisses.
When my family was seemingly done with the love and attention they were showering us with, I grabbed my bags, as did Kimi.
"Be careful on the drive to the airport, ok? Cloud, you take care of these three girls ya hear me? Don't get them into any trouble." My dad told us. He was giving Cloud a hard time cause for the longest time; Dad thought I had a crush on him. He was wrong of course, Cloud was like… my best guy friend… or one of the many best friends I have.
"Don't worry. I'll make sure they get to the Kingdom of Hearts in one piece." Cloud assured my dad.
"Bye dad." I said and hugged him once more.
I did the same with the rest of my family before stepping out of my house. Cloud loaded mine and Kimi's stuff into the bed of his truck before we all climbed in the small cab. Kimi and I waved as we pulled out of the driveway. When the house was behind us, Cloud sped up a little. He was a danger seeker and was always talking about his motorcycle, Fenrir, that he was working on. Cloud has this thing for fast vehicles.
"Damn it Cloud! Go a little slower would you? I don't want you to kill us!" Dani yelled over the sound of the wind coming in from the open windows.
I leaned over Dani to look at how fast Cloud was actually going. The speedometer said he was almost at 100 mph.
"I like driving fast though. Plus it'll get us to the school faster." Cloud reasoned, while trying to flip his blonde bangs out of his eyes.
"I don't care how soon we get to the school. You have to slow down!" I yelled. He gave me a sideways glance before slowing down a good 10 mph.
"Good Cloud!" Dani cheered before patting his blonde spikes. She yanked her hand back playfully and pretended to be hurt. "Rae-Rae! Cloud's spikes hurt my hand!" She whined.
I pouted. "Aww I'm sorry! Maybe he could kiss it to make it better." It was fun picking on Cloud. He glared at us from the corner of his eye.
"You two should really try to be more like Kimi." Was all he said. I looked to my left and saw that Kimi was sleeping.
"Aww she's so cute!" Dani gushed.
I smiled and turned my eyes back towards the window. I kept finding myself sneaking looks over to Cloud though. I was really starting to freak myself out.
Before I could slap myself for doing this, Cloud pulled into the school parking lot.
"FINALLY! Geez Cloud, you could've at least driven a little faster." Dani picked on Cloud as he parked.
"You're never riding with me again." Cloud stated before climbing out of the car.
I shook Kimi awake and the rest of us piled out of the truck.
Kimi walked to the middle school side of the building while Cloud, Dani, and I headed over to the high school side.
Little did I know that the moment I left my house, the trip and my friends, had been scheduled for disaster.
I'm not sure if this is a cliffy but... oh well. I'll get started on the next chapter soon! Hope you liked it! Constructive critiscm is welcome!
Luna Out : )
Peace
