Chapter 33: A Miracle. (Inspired by the song by Christina Aguilera.)
The Parrs were currently sitting in bleachers as Dash was preparing himself for a race. He had entered in a national competition and, surprisingly had made it to the finals, which were held in Metroville. Once the race started, the rest of Dash's family started cheering him on, urging him to slow down or speed up whenever needed. On the last lap, Dash was running at his normal speed and was neck-in-neck with another kid.
"Go, Dash, go! Go, Dash, go!" the Parrs were chanting as they neared the finish line. Dash struggled to keep his speed at the highest average level before he had a boost of adrenaline and managed to go forward a tiny little bit, crossing the finish line first.
"YES!" Bob shouted as he and Helen and Violet shot up from their seats, cheering. Back at home, having had dinner, the Parrs were fixing to head to bed when Dash came into Violet's room while she was reading a book on her bed.
"Hey, Vi." Dash said, catching her attention.
"Hey there, Dash. What's up?" asked Violet with a smile.
"I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me recently. Everytime I felt near defeat, you were there for me, by my side completely. You gave me strength and it's because of you that I'm all that I can be again." Dash said with a smile.
"You're welcome, Dash. After all, we were in it together. I should thank you too." Violet said.
"What for?" Dash asked.
"For being my brother. I believe that destiny brought you to our family, Dash, and I wouldn't have it any other way, otherwise, I wouldn't have the best little brother any sister could ever wish to have. When I work with you, the world is ours to reach for. Together there is nothing that we can't do. Our bond is a miracle, Dash." Violet said. Dash stared at her as tears fell from his eyes before he smiled.
"Thank you, Violet. I think the same thing." Dash said, making Violet tear up. Dash then climbed onto her bed and crawled into her arms and hugged her around the neck. Violet hugged him back tightly and started to rock him back and forth. As she did, Dash looked out the window and saw something that surprised him.
"Hey, sis! Check it out!" he said, pointing out the window. Violet looked and was also surprised at what she saw. There were two groups of stars that formed a perfect outline of their heads.
"Wow, check us out!" Dash said. He and Violet then looked at each other. "What'd I tell you, Dash? A miracle." Violet said before the two of them shared another hug.
