A Girl, A Wizard and Two Super Heroes- Tears (Edit 10)
"Where were you yesterday?,"Lady Alice asked me as we packed our bags. I turned away from her quickly to hide the blush on my face.
"I-I decided not to go swimming,"I replied,"I wanted to stay in our room. I mean, it's just so beautiful." Lady Alice nodded.
"You know, you're right! I should have taken in the beauty more too. What a shame we only got to stay the night here." I let out a nervous giggle and zipped my bag closed. Lady Flora jumped in on the conversation.
"I wonder why Masta didn't come swimmin' eitha,"she added,"Is he al'ight?" Lady Alice gasped.
"Oh my, your right!" I shook my head.
"I'm sure he's fine,"I told them,"You know how he gets, always excited about something." They nodded and turned back to their bags.
"Plus, he has shows coming up,"Lady Alice spoke,"I bet he's been working really hard." I giggled and quickly covered my mouth. Working very hard...HAHAHAHAHAHA!
"What's funny now, then?,"Lady Flora asked. I shook my head.
"N-nothing!"
"Are you hiding something from us again, Lady Rima?,"Lady Alice grinned. I shook my head rapidly.
"Gosh, no! I promise, I just thought of something! That's all!" They crossed their arms and glanced at each other. Quickly I grabbed my bag and headed toward the door. They ran for their bags as well and chased after me. I pressed the elevator button at least a million times, but it opened just as they caught up to me.
"Lady Rima!,"Lady Flora laughed,"Now I know ya hidin' somethin' from us!" They pulled me into the elevator and pressed the lobby button. I covered my mouth to hold in the laughter as they stared at me.
"I told you already, i-it's nothing!"
"Promise?,"Lady Alice asked. I nodded. When the door opened again, I smiled at the figure infront of me.
"Hallo Rima."
"Hello Sigmund." He took my bag for me and pulled me into a tight hug. I hugged him back. A smile grew on Lady Flora's face.
"What's this now?,"she giggled. Lady Alice hushed her and pulled her past us. I looked up at him.
"Good Morning."
"Guten Morgen."
"What's up with the English to German thing we've got going on here?" We laughed. He took my hand and lead me outside. There, Lady Jane and Lady Gretta were already shoving their bags into the trunk of the car. They faced us and glanced down at our hands.
"G-Guten Morgen, Master,"Lady Gretta greeted, not taking her eyes off our hands. Sigmund smiled and opened the car door to let us all inside. I gave Lady Gretta a dirty look before I hopped inside. The others followed me in and Lady Alice closed the door. The ride to the airport was akward and quiet. The maids kept a close eye on Sigmund and I for the whole trip. Honestly though, I wasn't worried about them or anything that was going on around me. I just wanted to know where we were going.
Almost there, almost there Rima...
We were in the plane now. At any second, we would be landing in America. All I wanted to know was WHERE in America were we going to land? Soo many states! Please let it be mine...
"Lady Rima, time to get off." I looked up at Lady Alice's smiling face and then down at my seat belt. I fought with it, and when I say fought I really mean struggled. I pushed down on the metal buckle to let myself out, but it didn't want to release me. I grew anxious.
"GET ME OUT OF THIS!,"I yelled. Lady Alice rushed over quickly and took it off in one swift movement. Before she could ask me if I was alright, I ran straight out of the plane. I hopped the huge flight of stairs just to land horriably. Sigmund and the other maids screamed when they saw the way I fell.
"MEIN GOTT!,"Sigmund shouted over everyone. He rushed down the stairs and right to my side,"Are you alright? Why did you jump?" I sat up quickly and looked around, ignoring the pain at my side completely. It was...colorful a-and it was bright. I faced Sigmund.
"W-where are we?" He hesitated to answer. "WHERE ARE WE SIGMUND?"
"Galaxy Hills." My eyes grew. The name of the town gave me a kick of strength. I got up and took off in a sprint. I've never ran as fast as I did then. I heard the maids screaming and the sound of heels trying to catch up to me.
"RIMA!,"I heard Lady Alice scream,"STOP DARLING! STOP!" I ignored her and sped up. The sound grew more and more faint as I was getting away. I kept running until I came to a sign that read: Galaxy Hills, Population: 75. And I don't know why, but I started yelling.
"AHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHH!" A fat man who was crossing the street with a large box stopped and stared at me.
"Hey! What's with all the yelling?,"he asked as he approached me. I collapsed on the sidewalk and quickly tried to collect myself. He pushed me down to sit on the floor.
"Sir please, I can't stay here. I have to run!"
"No way, you look seriously pale. Like you've seen a ghost or something."
"I HAVE TO HIDE! PLEASE!"
"Then follow me." He picked up his box from the street and lead me into a store. I looked around as he closed the blinds. Comic books. Comic books everywhere. My eyes grew.
"Why does this place seem so familiar?,"I asked myself. The man shrugged.
"Oh one question,"he started,"What's up with the maid uniform? Is there a convention in town?" I stared at him.
"Convention?"
"Cuz if there is, I'm in serious trouble. Seriously." My eyes grew. Why on earth do I think I know this man?
"Sir, what's your name please?" He sipped a drink that he did have before and moved the straw from his mouth to answer.
"Oz,"he replied,"It's actually Ozwald but I'd rather you call me Oz, seriously." My eyes grew. OZ! THE OZ MAN! OH MY GOSH!
"Oz? OZ, IT'S ME! RIMA! RIMA VALENTINE!"
"Rima?"
"You know...um...L-LUCKY LASS!" His eyes grew and he dropped his drink.
"Oh my-" He actually ran over to his counter and pulled out a piece of paper. He looked down at the paper, then up and me and then down at the paper again. "It's you..." He showed me a paper. It was a sign that read: MISSING CHILD. Please find our daughter, Rima Valentine. She is only twelve years old and our only child. We miss her. It went on to inform people my description. And there was a picture of me with my old friends. The first person I spotted was Kyle. He was smiling. We were laughing. We were all so, so...happy...
"That's me,"I mumbled,"That's me." A tear fell from my eye and I turned away from the paper quickly.
"At one point, these were all over town,"Oz told me,"Everyone just wanted to know what the heck happened to you. Your parent's thought you might have ran away, but your friends assured them that couldn't have been true."
"M-my parents? Where are they? I-I need to see them!"
"Not while your being hunted,"Oz said. He walked over to his counter again and picked up his phone. I walked over to the window and peeked through the blind. Oz made a hissing sound that made me jump. "STAY AWAY FROM THE WINDOW!" I backed away from the window quickly and looked at Oz as he started talking into the phone.
"This is urgent! I need you to come down here right away...yes, my comic shop...okay, see you soon." He hung up the phone and dragged me to a seat. "Rima, your parents are on their way here now." My eyes grew.
"W-what?" My eyes teared up. "My parents?"
"Yes, and a few of your friends too. They've practically been living with your parents since you've been gone." There was loud banging at the door that made me rush over quickly, Oz stopped me. "Behind the counter, now!,"he whispered. I backed away and hopped behind the counter, collecting my dress so it wouldn't be seen. I heard the sound of creeking as the door opened and a massive number of feet entering the shop.
"WHAT? WHAT IS IT OZWALD?,"I heard a woman cry. I heard the door close and lock again.
"Okay, you can come out now,"Oz called for me. I slowly stood up. Everyone's eyes shifted in my direction. "I found her,"Oz spoke,"It's your daughter Mrs. Valentine. It's-"
"RIMA!"
"MOTHER!" I ran to her and squeezed her in a tight hug. My father did the same. The tears poured out of my eyes and they wouldn't stop. I couldn't speak. We slowly fell to the floor, still holding on to each other but too weak to stand.
"How?,"my mother sobbed,"H-how are you here?" I looked up at her green eyes and shook my head. I couldn't answer. Behind my mother stood three boys. Two had broken down in tears and one stared at me. One.
"Kyle." His eyes grew. My parents pulled away from me and stared at me.
"You remember Kyle?,"my father asked. I stood up. He slowly stepped up to me and took me in his arms. I heard the faint sound of a whimper in my ear. He was crying.
"W-where were you?,"he asked me. I didn't know how to begin to answer that
