Frida's POV
I'm waiting in line! A long, long, long, line! My purpose for waiting in line: getting tickets to see the Hope Despair's concert with Manny, my best friend. Since Zoe probably got a lead on winning Manny's affections at that play they went to together, going to this concert is the best way to get ahead; we'll be going unsupervised. I'm also waiting in line with Frosty, our family's new dog (that is not a police dog). Ever since he was left on our doorstep by my mother's mentor or someone connected to him, we've been bonding quite well. Unlike the police dogs that belong to my dad and my sisters, Frosty actually likes me. I don't know why, but I feel that we have this strong connection to each other; almost like we're meant to be together.
After waiting in line for such a long time, I finally arrived at the ticket booth and purchased the two tickets meant for me and Manny. Once I got the tickets, I decided to take Frosty to the park and play with him; I even brought a ball for him to play with. As the two of us played fetch, I noticed my twin sisters training with one of the instructors for police cadets. While they may not be old enough to be real police officers yet, papa managed to get them in a special training program that is meant for people at the ages of 13 and up. Then suddenly, the two of them walked up to me.
"What are you doing here Frida?" Anita asked
"Playing with Frosty! Aren't you two supposed to be training?" I told them
"We're taking a break! (looking at Frosty) I get that this dog belongs to an old friend of mom, but he seems so simple." said Nikita
"He's not like our dogs!" said Anita
"Good! The last thing we need is more police dogs in our house and tearing up my posters. Which reminds me, keep Brutus and Hercules out of my room; I found them tearing up one of my posters again." I said rolling my eyes at them
"Hey, they like to fight over things!" said Nikita
"Maybe next time you shouldn't leave your posters on the ground!" said Anita
"Maybe next time you'll keep your dogs out of my room! (noticing in the distance) What in the world? Is that; it couldn't be!" I said moving out of the way
"Hey! Move out of the way!" said a girl on a moped
"Huh! Ahhh!" said Anita and Nikita screaming as the moped crashed into them
After the moped crashed into Anita and Nikita, the person riding on it got up. This person is a female with pale skin, pink hair in pigtails, a blue eye on the left and a red eye on the right, about 5'8, and she's wearing a pink leather jacket, black and white shirt, a black and white mini skirt, and pink boots."
"Hey are you ok?" I asked
"Yeah! My moped's break suddenly stopped working! Sorry about that! " said the girl on the moped
"I….I...you….you're…..you're Junko Kaname! I'm Frida Suarez; I'm your biggest fan!" I said with a huge smile on her face
"Nice! (looking at Anita and Nikita) I hope those two are ok!" said Junko Kaname
"Don't worry about them; they're fine!" I said brushing off her sisters
"Are they your sisters?" Junko Kaname asked
"Unfortunately!" I said rolling my eyes
"Hey, what's the deal crashing into us like that?" said Anita
"We could have you arrested for that!" said Nikita
"Sorry little officers!" said Junko Kaname
"They're not real cops; they're just cadets and they can't arrest anyone! (to Anita and Nikita) Also, it was an accident!" I said
"I bet!" said Anita and Nikita at the same time
"It really was an accident! My moped's breaks just suddenly stopped working. I better take it to a repairmen!" said Junko Kaname
"I know one nearby that can help; Frosty and I will take you there!" I said to her with a huge smile
"Thanks! "said Junko Kaname
With that said, Frosty and I took Junko Kaname to a nearby mechanic to get her moped fixed. Once we got her moped checked in, we headed to the nearby convenience store and bought some churros, slushies and burritos; I even got some doggy treats for Frosty. I used this rare opportunity to get as close as possible to my idol (and if possible mentor).
"So, what were you doing out on that moped in the first place?" I asked her while eating a churro
"Taking in the sights! My band and just finished practicing for a concert we're doing here." said Junko Kaname slurping on a green slushy
"I know about your concert; me and Manny are going to your concert!" I said showing her the tickets
"Who's Manny; your boyfriend?" Junko Kaname asked me
"No, he's just my friend! However, I would like him to be my boyfriend. That's why I'm inviting him to your concert so I can have a chance to increase that and get ahead of Zoe." I said
"Who's Zoe?" Junko Kaname asked
"My former-current friend that Manny and I hang out with; it's a long story! (to Frosty) However, Frosty is my best friend." I said while giving Frosty a doggy treat
"How long have you had him?" Junko Kaname asked while looking at Frosty
"I only recently got him! He belonged to an old friend of my mom; he just asked my mom to give him a good home and he ran up to me. It's nice to have another dog other than a police dog in the house." I said while petting Frosty and giving him a kiss
"Just out of curiosity, how old are you Frida?" Junko asked petting Frosty
"12! I'm going to be 13 in 4 months! It's only a matter of time before Frida Suarez will be a teenager. Then the rest of my bandmates and I will be the same age!" I said
"Dang! Could you excuse me for a bit Frida; I need to answer this call. Can you watch my guitar for a bit?" said Junko hearing her cell phone ring and letting Frida hold her black and white bass guitar
"Sure! (to Frosty) Of course I'm going to ask for her autograph! This is my idol! Well Manny's mom was my idol and I'm grateful for what she's done for me and my band but this is my current idol since she makes the same music me and the Atomic Sombreros make." I said
"Hey Frida! Hey Frosty!" said Rosa as she and Tenny walk up to her
"Rosa! Teeny! What are you two doing here?" I asked
"We were at your house to come get you for practice at Teeny's house but you weren't there; we figured you might still be in line getting those tickets for the Hope Despairs concert for you and Manny." said Rosa
"Sorry girls; I lost track of time!" I said
"Thanks for watching my guitar Frida! Who are these two?" said Junko walking over to Frida
"Junko Kaname!" said Rosa and Teeny is shock and happiness
"I see I have some more fans!" said Junko grabbing her guitar from Frida
"This is Rosa and Teeny; they're my friends and they are part of my band!" I said to Junko
"You have a band!?" said Junko
"Yeah; we're the Atomic Sombreros!" I said
"I see! Maybe when I have some more free time, I can hear you guys play! There's my ride!" said Junko as a limo pulls up
"You're leaving!" I said with a disappointed look on her face
"Unfortunately, my manager needs me for to do something! They say they'll pick up my moped for me. It was nice meeting you all; I look forward to seeing you guys play." said Junko giving Frida and her friends an autograph and her phone number before leaving
"I can't believe it; Junko Kaname gave me her autograph and her phone number! Best Day Ever!" I shouted and fainted to the ground
"So, are we going to practice now?" said Teeny
"Yeah! Come on!" I said
After we practiced at Teeny's house, Frosty and I headed home for the night. After eating dinner with my family, Frosty and I headed to my room and put up the autograph that Junko Kaname gave me and had it framed to commemorate the moment. While I was happy, I regret that I didn't get a photo of me, Frosty, and her.
The next morning, I got up and got ready for school! As I was getting ready, I got a call from Rosa and answered it.
"Frida, are you watching the news?" said Rosa on loud speaker
"No! Why would I be?" I asked
"Just do it!" said Rosa
"We're reporting live right here at the Miracle City Cemetery, where the old, abandoned house of the Vampiro family has suddenly resurfaced after being burned down for 20 years ago." said a reporter on tv
"Turn to channel 18" said Rosa knowing I wasn't on the right channel
"Ok!" I said changing the channel
"We're here live at Jay's music store where the manager and the other employees have been kicked out by a mysterious figure in red. The figure wrote on the walls of the store: Bring me the best musicians in Miracle City in the next two weeks or pay the price of your voice!" said a channel 18 reporter
"What do you think it means?" Rosa asked
"I don't know; but we should find out sometime this week." I said with an intrigued look on my face.
Author's note: In case you're wondering what's going on, this chapter's ending is meant to foreshadow the events of the next chapter. This chapter is taking place at the same time as the last chapter took place. It's also meant to show what Frida is like in a sense and her building connection with Frosty; it's almost like the Zoe chapter that I did to a certain extent. It's also meant as set up for Frida and her role in this story. Remember to leave comments; I like hearing what you think
