1 To 2001! By Skye Rocket
A/N: I am totally cheesed off! I have written about 5 drafts of this chapter and they all get deleted before I can upload/save them!
Disclaimer: I don't think I even have to say it again. Hope not. *__*
More Danny and Skye-ness? You be the judge. I'm just giving you guys something to take about. ^__^
=========
"Skye, come here, I need to talk to you," Allen hissed. My ten-year-old brother had an odd look on as he beckoned for me to come over behind the pine tree at the edge of my cousins' driveway. I was about to cross the street to help set up the tent or something.
"All right, all right," I said. I wondered what would be wrong with him. "What is it?" I asked once I was behind the tree.
"What is it with you and Danny?" he asked in a state of confusion. I blushed bright red. "Do you like him? You can tell me, Skye, I'm your brother," Allen continued.
"I don't like him. It's just he seems pretty sad right now. I've been there; I know how it is. I guess I just figured he might need someone who understands. I know how it is to see someone you like/love going around like that with someone else," I said. I wasn't lying either. The words had come out like a waterfall of words. I had said it before I could stop myself. So that was how I felt. Allen shrugged.
"OK, if that's all," he smirked. I shot him a dirty look.
I crossed the dirt street over to the graveyard and hopped the fence. I wandered about halfway over to the campsite before I toppled to the ground. My lip collided with a root, and in a millisecond it had split open and my blood made a small trail down my chin.
"Yeaouch!" I screamed. I ripped a Kleenex out of my pocket. I slapped to my lip, tears in my eyes. Danny offered me a hand to get up. I took it and stood up, knees wobbling and clacking against each other.
"Are you okay, sweetie?" Evelyn asked, coming over from where she and Mallory had been looking at a small tombstone with a picture of a lamb on it. I nodded gravely.
--------
After we had set up the three-room tent we started down the wide road. The gray surface of the street had cracked, split and just about fallen into totally disarray. Evelyn and Rafe had their fingers laced together and were staring into each other's eyes in a loving manner (same old, same old). Allen, Alden and Austin were laughing and talking about a rabid penguin. Mallory had convinced Rafe to let her sit on his shoulders. If I didn't know any better I would have thought that Mallory was Rafe and Evelyn's daughter.
Danny stared at the houses that slowly passed as we clambered by. We were an odd group. Danny appeared to be taking in every detail of the scenario, in his own quiet way, and not like Allen usually did ("Wow, Skye! Look how blue that fish is!"). I wondered if he was the poetic type. Probably. I took this opportunity to look at him more closely.
Brown hair and eyes. Good build. And nice hair, I thought to myself (what can I say? I like guys who have nice hair). A decent tan. If I had encountered him in the mall or something, though, I thought, I would just mistake him for a pretty face.
But he had come to be more than that to me. He had a great personality. He was nice. Danny was more understanding than anybody I had known in awhile was. He was a lot like me. But still! Even if I did like him, which I wasn't sure I did (at least in that way), he probably wouldn't notice. Stop it, Skye! I thought.
He turned and looked at me. I smiled sheepishly. I tried to act naturally. Danny smiled back, that sort of shy smile that was so cute. I was incredibly confused at that moment. What if I DID like him? I brushed the thought off and joined the boys' conversation.
"Penguins sure can get rabies!" I exclaimed.
------
I laid down on the sleeping bag. I popped a Jolly Rancher in my mouth. We had bought lots of candy, chips and peanuts to last us through the night. But the fun was just beginning. Besides, the sun hadn't even fully set yet.

Well, I'll continue it later. This Skye and Danny thing is taking on new heights. ^__^ Have a good day! I'll update soon. After all, I'm on SUMMER BREAK! Happy Memorial Day!
Til Next Time,
