Ch 9: Faded memories

Destiny walked along the crowded fair. She smiled as she looked around. The fair had always been her favorite place. She though about what had happened to her here one year. She was riding the fairs wheel, and she had gotten stuck with a boy.

What was his name? Tommy? No, it was Rocky.No, Jason. He was talking about Tommy, and Tommy's girlfriend Kat. or was it Kim? or was it Raven?Hum, I don't remember.

Destiny laughed as she remembered this memory as if it were yesterday.

Flashback

"YAY," nine year old Destiny Brooks said as she stood in line for the fairs wheel. She had managed to get away from her older brother and mom, and waited patiently to get on the ride. Her mother wouldn't let her get on the ride, and she was very upset, but now, nothing could stop her. As she waited, she listen to the people behind her complain.

"No Tommy, we can do it my way, or Rocky's way. We are not going to use straws and Ted." The tall, muscular boy said.

Destiny just stood there and waited.

"Fine Jason, we'll do it Rocky's way," the boy with long black hair said.

"Yay," another boy said, and the other six, the two boys, plus another boy, and three girls, whom Destiny thought was their girlfriends.

A few minutes latter, they teenagers were fighting again.

"No way. Tommy, you rigged them," Jason said.

"Nu-uh. You got your self into this, man," Tommy replied.

Jason turned towards the girl in the pink outfit with blond hair. "Kat, please?"

"Sorry Jason," the girl said with a thick Australian accent.

He then turned to the other boy. "Adam?"

"Sorry Jason, but I'm sitting with Tanya." The African American girl rested her head against Adam's shoulder.

"And don't even think about asking me. You know I want to sit with Raven." Rocky said, as Jason turned his head, grabbing the girl that had long brown hair.

"Grrrrrrrr…" Jason said as the slowly walked up the line. They finally reached the front of the line, and Destiny got into one of the compartments.

She then watched as Jason got in with her, giving his friends the evil eye.

Destiny looked up at the tall, muscular kid. He just sat there for a moment, and then looked down at the little girl.

"You know what kid?"

There was a short pause, then "What?"

"Stick with being small and tiny. I figure, that works best."

Destiny frowned a bit.

"Friends will be less mean to you that way. Actually, scratch that. Friends will be mean to you no madder what."

Destiny looked up at Jason.

"You're weird." She blurted out.

"Ya. I'm weird. Or maybe just unlucky. I wish Emily was here."

"Dude, you need help."

Jason turned to face Destiny.

"And you think you could help?"

"Did I say that I could help? No, I just said you NEEDED help. Which is true. You do need help. Desperately."

There was a long silence.

"I'm Jason."

"The name's Destiny."

"Destiny…….. I shall call you Little Des."

Destiny shrugged. "Works for me. So, who's this Emily girl?"

"My girlfriend."

"Cool….. Hey, who were those people with you? They seemed…… nice."

"Oh, they were my friends. There's Tommy, the kid with long black hair. He's a freak, but in a good way. He's really, my best friend. Well, my second best friend, and –"

"Who was your first best friend?"

Jason frowned as her looked down at Destiny.

"Zack Taylor."

"Oh…. What was he like?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Destiny shrugged. "I dunno. I guess when I tell what happened to me to my brother, I'll have the full story."

Jason shrugged, and went on.

"He's awesome. A real pal. Very cool. Anyway, there's also the Hillard cousins. Kat and Raven. They are both sweet girls. Kat's the pink and Raven's the…….."

Destiny looked at Jason as he paused, slighting looking embarrassed.

"You okay?"

"Ya, I'm fine……….. Kat's from Australia, and Raven's from New York. The two are really close, though Raven just moved to Angel Grove a about a year ago. Then there's Rocky, whose Raven's boyfriend (Tommy is Kat's). He's really cool to. He's like, well , a brother to me."

-----------------------------------------------------

Destiny just sat a listened as he told wonderful stories about his friends. By the time the ride was over, Destiny felt like she knew Jason's whole life story.

"Bye Destiny," Jason said as he got off and walked over to his friends.

Destiny just waved good-bye as her mother came rushing over to her.

"Are you alright, Destiny?" She asked, worried sick about her little girl.

"Ya mom, I'm fine." Destiny said, wondering if she would ever see Jason again.

End of Flashback

Destiny laughed as she thought of the memory, and her friends came over.

"He sis, what's up?" Dustin asked.

"Remember that time I went to the fair, and there was that kid, Jason?"

"I thought is mane was Tommy?" Dustin said with a serious tone in his voice.

"No, it was Jason." Destiny replied.

"Whatever. I still think it's Tommy."

"Ya, well, I was thinking about that."

"That's cool. Hey, let's go ride the fairs wheel." Shane said.

"YA!" Destiny replied.

The four friends got into the line. Destiny looked around at all the busy people walking around. Some were talking, others were hold hands, and even more were smiling, pointing at the old rides and games. Oh how Destiny missed her childhood. She missed her friends, her parents, her old life. Before she was sent to boarding school, then to the ninja academy. Things were different back then. Things were happy and careless. Was Destiny truly happy? No. She wasn't. something at the back of her head was nagging her, tell her there was something missing. But what? What was missing?

"Yo Destiny," Shane said, noticing the trance she was in.

"Oh Sorry." Destiny replied, smiling with the genuine smile that only she could possess.

--------------------------------------------------------------

After about three hours of waiting, they finally got on the ferias wheel. There were big giant ball things that four people could sit in, so the four just all got into the same one. Destiny was thrilled as she watched the ground get father and farther away. She turned to See Dustin and Tori, sitting next to each other, looking down at the same beautiful site. Tori would glance over at Dustin for a brief second, and then blush and Dustin would do the same.

My God, they are so stupid. The only two people who can't see that they like each other are them selves. I've go to do something.

For the rest of the ride, Destiny planed out how she was going to get Dustin and Tori together, though, she knew she would need some help…..

Okay, well, I hoped you enjoyed it. I am working on the next chapter. Chapter ten! YAY!
