I'm back, miss me? I want to say thank you so much to cherrygorrila for being so nice and so supportive. What you said really made my day and made me feel so much better. And thank you to Myra James. I'm glad you love my story.
Ok I'm going to shut up now and let you guys read.
I was having the most wonderful dream, until I was rudely awoken by the sound of a blow horn.
I screamed and accidentally fell out of bed, and I heard someone turn the lamp on.
"Rise and shine, birthday girl!" Kiki was standing over me, with one hand holding the blow horn, and the other a plate of food. I gave Kiki a deadpanned look after I saw the time, and tried to speak calmly.
"Kiki. It's four o'clock in the morning, that's a little too early, even for surfers, so why are you waking me up so early?" I'm usually a pretty chill person, and I always get up at five every day, but if you wake me up earlier than I'm supposed to, I get a little cranky, but Kiki doesn't know that, so I'm trying to stay as calm, and as patient as possible.
Kiki, oblivious to this, just keeps on smiling and helps me up on the bed, and hands me the plate.
"I wanted you to get an early jump on the day, so I made you breakfast, got your clothes ready,and listed all the things I want us to go and see today."
I was impressed, but then I started to wonder how long It took her to do all this, I hope she got at least a little bit of sleep last night.
"Kiki, when did you start doing all of this?"
She shrugs and waves it off. "Oh, I got up just a few minutes ago, and I got everything ready pretty quickly."
Wow she's almost as fast as me.
I look down at my plate and see two eggs next to each other so that they looked like eyes, a strip of bacon turned upward so it looked like a smiley face, and a strawberry in the middle as the nose. I smiled fondly at the cute little face made of food, and I almost didn't want to eat it. Almost. I eagerly started stuffing my face with the delicious meal, while Kiki left the room and came back with a glass of orange juice.
I take a huge gulp of the juice and sigh. I can already tell that today is going to be an awesome birthday.
I suddenly notice that Kiki is already dressed and ready to go. Her hair is back in it's usual ponytail and she's wearing the same dress I gave her yesterday. I guess if you're from the movie world you always wake up looking perfect. Lucky ducks.
After I'm done eating I go to the edge of my bed and get my clothes. I walk slowly to the bathroom, still tired at being woken up this early. Apparently I wasn't fast enough, because Kiki shoved me in and closed the door.
After brushing my hair and my teeth, I put on the clothes Kiki picked out for me, my retro, beige and light blue 60s one piece suit, a lavender blouse over it, and of course, my seashell necklace. I do a little spin to see if everything's in place, then walk out and put my sandals on.
I see Kiki sitting on the couch in the living room waiting for me. I run back upstairs to my room to get my money. I have a lot of money stashed under my bed that I've been saving for my birthday. Finally, no more ratty old clothes and swimsuits! I can buy whatever me and Kiki want!
I stuff the money in the pocket of my blouse and run out of my room, and slide down the rail of the stairs. When Kiki sees me coming she hops up and we skip out the door, arms interlocked.
The first on Kiki's list was shopping. Nikki and her went to almost every clothing store in town, buying whatever they wanted, swimsuits, sandals, jewelry, you name it. And after they were finally done, they went to a restaurant to get something to eat.
Nikki and Kiki carried their shopping bags like they were weights, each having at least twelve in their hands. When they found their table, they immediately dropped the bags and rubbed their tired arms.
"This is really fun Nikki," said Kiki tiredly.
Nikki smiled in agreement. "I know right? I wish I could do this more often, especially now that I have a friend."
Kiki noticed that the restaurant they were in looked a lot like Big Mommas, and suddenly felt a little homesick. She shook her head to clear it of those thoughts, that life is over, this is her life now. As they placed their order, Kiki looked around and saw an elderly man staring at her a few tables over.
After a few minutes the man shakily gets up from his chair and walks over to the two girls. He grabs a chair from another table and sits down beside them.
"Excuse me miss, my name is Andrew. I couldn't help but notice that you look very similar to one of my friends, Jamie Morgan, are you two related," he asked curiously.
Kiki gently shook her head. "I don't think so sir, I don't have many relatives." She made sure not to give anything away.
"What was your friend like sir," Nikki asked, jumping into the conversation.
The man smiled fondly, thinking up old memories.
"Ah, she used to be a wonderful actress, in fact, we were in a movie together when we were young."
"Really? What was the movie?" The girls were starting to enjoy listening to the man as he continued talking.
"Wet Side Story," he said.
Shocked, Nikki spat out half of the soda she was drinking when he said that, a few drops spraying poor Kiki.
Kiki grabbed a few napkins and started wiping herself furiously, while Nikki stared wide eyed at the man.
"W-wait, what was your name again?" The man held out his hand for her to shake.
"Andrew. Andrew Hart."
Nikki's jaw dropped to the floor as she nervously shook is hand.
"A-Andrew Hart? Andrew Hart that played Tanner in the movie? That Andrew Hart?" Nikki was amazed, first Kiki, and now Tanner! Well, the guy who played Tanner, but still. This is the best birthday ever!
"I wasn't aware that there was another one," he joked.
Nikki sat there, mouth hanging wide open, and like she had done with Kiki the day before, Kiki lifted her hand and tried to close it for her.
"Wet Side Story is my favourite movie in the world!" Kiki lowered her hand.
"Can I have your autograph?" Andrew chuckled.
"I'd love to, but I don't have a pen or anything to write down on."
Nikki grabbed a napkin off the table and stumbled out of her chair. "I'll go ask for one!"
Kiki giggled as she watched Nikki run to the nearest waitress and ask for a pen. The waitress handed her one, and Nikki ran back to their table as fast as she could. She gave Andrew the pen and he signed the napkin for her. Nikki bounced up and down happily as she ran back to the waitress to give her her pen back, tripping and bumping into things the whole way.
Kiki continued giggling at her friends enthusiasm, Andrew soon joining in. When Nikki came back, all three of them talked for an hour, Nikki talking mostly, asking many questions, to which Andrew was happy to answer. When the girls were done, Andrew prepared to leave before turning back to them.
"Oh, I almost forgot, what are your names girls?"
Nikki and Kiki stopped. Uh oh, it never crossed Nikki's mind that the name Kiki might not sound very normal.
"I'm Nikki and this is...uh-"
"Katy," said Kiki.
Andrew smiled at the girls.
"Well it was nice to meet you Nikki and Katy."
After he left, Nikki turned to Kiki.
"Katy? Really?" Kiki shrugged.
"What, it was the first thing that came to my head."
The girls laughed as Nikki shoved the autographed napkin in her pocket.
"So, whats next on the list?"
Kiki got the list and looked it over.
"Ah, there's only one more thing left for us to do." She handed Nikki the list and walked out of the restaurant, a sly smile on her face.
When Nikki saw what was on the list, she ran to catch up with Kiki and grabbed her by the shoulder.
"Kiki, you know I can't go surfing! If Ms Hilga finds out she'll ground me for life!"
"Yeah, I know but Nikki, it's your birthday, you have to go surfing." Nikki put her head in her hands, slightly frustrated with Kiki. She heard what Ms Hilga said and she still wants her to go surfing, and as much as she really wanted to, she had to say no.
"No, I won't do it Kiki. I will not go surfing, and you can't make me."
Nikki's POV
I should've put my foot down. I should've refused. I should've just walked away and went home. But no, instead I'm standing here on the beach, my surfboard at my side, waiting for Kiki to come out of the house with one of the new swimsuits I bought. I'm so weak..
Kiki comes out of the house wearing a 1960s hot pink bikini. While we were shopping and trying out clothes, I found out that whatever kind of modern clothes Kiki puts on, they'll switch to looking like something from the 60s. It's pretty cool.
Kiki skips over to me with her surfboard in hand.
"Aw cheer up Nikki, no one is going to see us," she said as I continued to glare at her.
Kiki reached over and poked me in the one place I'm ticklish. My ribs. I bit my lip to keep myself from laughing. I guess Kiki saw this, because she did it again and again. Pretty soon I was on the ground, laughing my head off. I wiped a few tears away and pushed her off me.
"Ok, ok, but I'm only surfing for a few minutes!" I managed to say.
Sadly, a few minutes turned into a few hours, and I found myself lying in the sand, soaking wet and exhausted, but happier then I've been for...a very long time.
Kiki was right by me, just as exhausted but equally as happy.
"Thanks Kiki, this has been the best birthday of my life."
She doesn't look at me, but I can tell that she's happy.
"Your welcome Nikki, and thank you, this has been the best day period."
I chuckle and roll on my stomach to push myself up.
"Come on. We should get home."
"Yeah." Kiki gets up the same way I did, but sloppier. I just realized that she's probably not used to being tired, since she's from the movie world.
As we drowsily make our way home, dragging our feet the whole way, I noticed that Kiki is as soaked as I am. Weird. Yesterday, no matter what you did, she never got wet. I guess that means she's becoming apart of this world now. I know I should be happy, but I can't help but feel slightly uneasy. If Kiki's turning into a normal person, what will happen to the characters in Wet Side Story?
Probably nothing, I tell myself. I'm probably just being paranoid, tomorrow I'll watch the movie and find that everything is as It should be. There's nothing to worry about.
This chapter isn't really one of my best ones, but I hope you guys liked it.
Don't forget to review.
See ya next time!
