Kiva danced around her room. She was holding airplane tickets in her hand. She had ripped open a letter from her mother confirming her summer vacation plans. She was coming home, to a brand new home. And she could take her friends with her! Of course, Yumi would be back tomorrow, and they would leave in a week. So Kiva had stuck the tickets into her safe keeping place, which I shall not mention now. She tore off down the hall, flung open the door to a dorm, and jumped on Odd's bed. "Get up! Get up! I have a surprise for ya!" Odd fell out of bed and made the 'I don't want to get up' sound. "You and the group are coming to my new house for summer vacation." Odd jumped up. Ulrich sleepily threw his phone at her. "Thank you." She dialed Jeremie's number, and then Yumi's hotel, then Aelita. She had checked with them first, of course.
A week later they were more than ready, and hopped on the airplane. They sat near each other. Kiva smiled and pulled Odd's head on her lap, as she had done a few months before. He rose up and gave her a quick kiss before falling to sleep. Yumi and Ulrich were holding hands. Jeremie and Aelita were flirting around their books. Only nine more hours to go.
Two hours later Kiva was standing in line for the bathroom. Aelita and Yumi were talking across the aisle. Ulrich was being bored. Jeremie was on his laptop. Are those even allowed?
Three hours after this it was night. Kiva stared at the glowing cities below. She loved to stare at the small areas of light, then the smaller cities and bigger cities... Aelita was enjoying playing with the buttons for the lights and air to her seat. She ended up using the built in phone without knowing it, and began talking with someone from Russia. "Hello?" Aelita asked the controls. "No, I'm not Gretta. No- Are you listening to me? No, I'm not your sweetie. I have the wrong number." About here Jeremie realised something was up and hung up the phone.
"Please do not play with the airplane controls." Several people around them heard this and freaked out, thinking the meant the controls of the whole airplane.
Yumi and Ulrich were playing with one Nintendo DS, with Ulrich on the right and Yumi on the left.
Two hours till they got there. None of them could sleep, and so they huddled together the best that they could and Kiva described her house to them. "Mom says it's huge. With two floors and three bathrooms. Five bedrooms, and several rooms for nothing at all. A kitchen full of junk food, and pizza, and sweet tea. We have a pool now, and even a balcony." This made everyone excited, and they fidgeted untill the two hours remaining were over. They stumbled off the plane with hardly used legs and tired eyes. Kiva flopped down on the ledge to the wall made of a window. Odd had to lift her up and carry her to the bag pick up. Kiva grabbed hers. It was equipped with a stylish pink ribbon. They were soon on their way to the ride home.
"What are you keeds doing at these houor? Eet is midnight." half asked half noted the driver. Kiva had attached herself to Odd by wrapping her arms around him, and they had settled down in the back seat for some sleep. Actually, they were sitting with the bags because the van didn't have enough seats. This was okay with them because it was Kiva's mom's new van, just a driver hired to pick them up.
at Kadic
"Where are they?" Jim asked Mr. Delmas.
" I don't know. You did tell them that Kiva's parents sent a letter explaining why they had to cancel the visit?"
"Uh, yeah. The parents had to go see an aunt or something. Yeah. I think..."
at the Minimorph's new house
"Wow." Kiva was carried up to the house, and she noted that it was indeed huge. She noticed that something was wrong here. Her parents told her they would keep the light on. 'Must be working late to get off while we're here.' she thought.
She took the key from under the flower pot and opened the door. Let the party begin. Right after they sleep awhile. And after the next part of the story. Adios.
Author's note: I wrote this chapter three times before I was happy with it. And I wrote it because of all the reviews! So the next chapter, and probably the best, goes out to the reviewers now, then and later.
