Everyone who was anyone in Harmony always went to the annual carnival to
celebrate Independence Day. Miguel and his family, the Lopez-Fitzgerald's, had just
gotten there ten minutes ago when they had already seen their closest friends, all but
the Bennetts. Miguel saw Reese Durkee there by the snack shop.
"Hi, Reese," Miguel said, walking towards him.
"Oh hi, Miguel," Reese replied.
Just then, Jessica Bennett returned from the bathroom and greeted Miguel.
"Hi, Jess," Miguel answered, "shoulda known I could have found you by
Reese. You guys are so inseparable."
The teen couple grinned back at him as they held hands.
"Have you seen Kay?" Miguel asked. "I've been looking for her."
"She's by the Ferris Wheel," Jessica informed him.
Ethan Winthrop-Crane walked his way to the carnival - a short five minute
walk from his apartment. He was planning on meeting Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald
there, at the exact spot where they met a year and a half ago, in the park by the lake.
When he finally got there, he saw his beloved girlfriend talking to Noah Bennett, an
old friend of hers. He couldn't help but get a teensy bit jealous. Ethan did not want to
lose Theresa to anybody. Already a vulnerable enough person after having lost his
father at an early age, he was very clingy in his relationship with Theresa.
"Hi, Therie," Ethan said to her, barely acknowleding Noah.
"Hi, sweetie," she answered, giving him a soft kiss.
Noah stared at them, before giving a short "ahem."
They broke away from the kiss and looked at him.
"Theresa, I should look for my family. I will see you later, ok?" Noah said,
giving her a hug.
"Ethan," he said, acknowledging him a bit warily.
"Noah," Ethan answered, in the same tone.
"What's up?" Theresa asked after Noah left.
"Just came to see you," Ethan said, smiling. "Do you wanna take a walk?"
She nodded as they walked off, holding hands.
Julian Crane and his wife, Ivy Winthrop-Crane were fighting as usual on their
way to the Independence Day celebrations. Their marriage was on the rocks. They
both knew it but left it undiscussed. Bottled Emotions. Ready to burst.
"Ivy," Julian said, trying to ease the tension between them, "remember last
year at the carnival celebration when I got in that waterfight with you and Sheridan? I
haven't had that much fun in years," he gave a short, nervous laugh.
Ivy gave him a small smile but said nothing.
He sighed, closing his eyes for the rest of the trip in the limo.
Miguel walked over to the Ferris Wheel where Jessica had told him Kay
would be. She was just stepping off the ride when he saw her.
"Kay," he called to her, smiling happily.
"Miguel, hi," she said, giving him a hug.
"You went on the Ferris Wheel?" he asked.
She nodded.
"By yourself?" he asked, incredously.
"Ya, Miguel," Kay answered.
"That's just wrong. Everyone knows Ferris Wheels are for pairs, couples
mostly." He grinned at her.
She nodded knowingly as they walked back to the line for the ride.
Faith Standish, who had been separated from her sister, Grace Bennett, ever
since they were born, was planning on meeting her twin at the Harmony Carnival
Celebrations. They had just located each other a month ago and were finally going to
meet. Faith had plans to move here if her meeting with her sister turned out to be
successful. She was going to bring her daughter, Charity, along.
"Faith?" a voice nearby asked.
The park was very crowded and Faith kept turning and looking, trying to
locate the voice.
"Grace?" she asked.
"Yes," came the reply. "Meet me at the concession stand."
Faith did just that.
She saw her identical twin staring at her, full of smiles.
Faith smiled back as she went to give her a hug.
"It's you, finally, oh my God, what a great day!" Grace said joyfully.
Faith broke away from the hug to introduce Charity to Grace.
"Grace, this is my daughter, Charity. She is 16 years old," Faith told her.
"Hello, Charity," Grace said, kindly.
"Hi, Aunt Grace," Charity replied.
Just then Kay and Miguel walked by.
"Kay," Grace called, "I want you to meet someone."
Kay turned around and saw her mom's face on another body. A twin? she
thought to herself.
"Dear, this is my long lost twin sister, Faith."
Kay gave a small smile.
"Hello," she replied.
"And this is her daughter, Charity," Grace continued. "She's your age, so the
two of you should be able to hit it off."
Kay looked at Charity, sizing her up. She was never very good at being friends
with girls. Other than Simone Russell, Sherry Crane, Paloma Lopez-Fitzgerald and
her sister Jessica, she didn't have many girlfriends.
"Hi," Charity said. "What's your name?"
"Kay," she replied.
"Kay, sweetie, why don't you and Miguel take Charity and go have fun? Me
and Faith need to catch up, we will be home, ok dear?" Grace asked Kay.
"Sure, mom," Kay said reluctantly.
So Kay and Miguel's third date was cut short as they showed Charity around.
"Charity, right?" Miguel asked her.
"Yes," she replied, nodding. "And you are?"
Handsome, she thought to herself. He is so good-looking.
"I'm Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald. Kay's boyfriend." he answered, putting his
arms around Kay's waist.
"Oh," Charity said, disappointed.
"How about we show you around, ok Charity," Kay said impatiently.
Mom owes me big time for showing Charity the sites of Harmony, she thought
to herself. I have better things to do. Today was me and Miguel's third date as
boyfriend and girlfriend. Oh well. We have the rest of our lives to spend together. She
smiled, looking at Miguel.
Miguel saw Kay staring. He gave her his best smile.
They kissed, forgetting about Charity.
Kay is a lucky little girl, isn't she? Charity thought. She has everything I don't.
A father, cool designer clothes and a hot boyfriend.
Charity looked at the two of them, now in embrace. She narrowed her eyes at
Kay enviously.
