Spinning Out
Chapter 9!
It was the day after the tournament. Mandie and the rest of her team were sharing a plane with the Blade Breakers. She opened her eyes, it was morning, they had taken off at 4:00 a.m. and it was a 3 hour ride for them to get to Tyson, Kai, Kenny, and Max' homes. The Dream team decided to go for a visit to see their home, once a day or two has past they would leave to their home of Thunder Bay once again, and Ray would go to Hong Kong.
"I guess we can't keep the name Dream Team anymore. We don't have the 'D' anymore now do we?" she thought. "Now let's see, Ream? Mare? Rame? Maybe once Colette comes we'll have the 'cream' team." She thought. Mandie couldn't help but chuckle. "Well, once we land, which won't be long, about 30 minutes actually, I'll call my sister. Well, I guess I'll look around to see who's up and ready to go." She thought. Mandie turned around and pulled her knees up, she slipped them underneath her and looked around from the back of her seat. Tyson was on the floor, not too surprising! Kenny was sleeping beside him, Amy and Rebecca had a seat together, Ray had a seat to himself, and Edwin and Max sat beside one another. They were all still sleeping. But there was one thing missing, two actually, and they were people. Mr. Dickinson and Kai.
Mandie sat back down and tilted her head back; she couldn't help but let out a yawn. She rubbed her eyes and decided to get up. The plane had two rows of seats and a lounge at the back. The lounge was where Grandpa and Mr. Dickinson had slept, grown ups got all the breaks! She got up and walked towards the cockpit.
"Alright, whatever!" she overheard. It must have been Kai. She heard Mr. Dickinson chuckle.
"Hellooooooo?" sang Mandie; She sighed and went to wake up Amy and Rebecca. "C'mon! wakie, wakie!" laughed Mandie. Rebecca opened one eye and turned her head. Amy who was closest to the aisle got up. She rubbed her eyes and smiled slightly, Mandie just had to laugh, the night before Amy wore make up to get Max to notice her.
"What?" asked Amy sleepily. She yawned and got up. She raised her hands into the air and stretched.
"You know how you wanted a special someone to notice you, so you put on some makeup?" asked Mandie, she was now covering her mouth trying to keep the bubbling laughter inside her. She didn't want everybody to wake up and see the beautiful new Amy. Amy nodded her head slowly. She looked more alert. "Well, I think everybody will notice you now!" she giggled. Mandie took out her mirror and held it out before Amy's face. Amy forgot to take off all of that makeup. The red eyeshadow was smeared all over her eyes, her lipstick was all over her chin, and the mascara and drooped down giving her raccoon eyes.
"Oh no!" laughed Amy. "I don't like makeup anymore! Maybe a little, but the afterward effects are hideous!" she cried. Mandie could not help herself any longer; neither could Amy, they both let off loud laughs or humor. People started to wake up. "Eep! Give me a tissue!" she said, they were both still giggly, Amy knew Mandie almost always kept a box of tissues with her. Mandie rushed over to her seat grabbed a box from underneath the seat and hurried back to Amy. Max, Kenny, Ray, Edwin, Mr. Dickinson and Kai were now approaching. Tyson and Grandpa still lay sleeping, like nothing happened.
"What's going on?" asked Max, he had a sleepy tone to his voice. Amy was done wiping her face by now. Everyone was wondering what had happened. Mandie sit in her seat trying not to laugh as Amy thought of excuses.
"Umm, well, umm, heh, heh.MANDIE CAN EXPLAIN!" she cried. Amy's index finger pointed to Mandie in the opposite row, two seats up. Mandie had a shocked look on her face as everybody waited for her explanation.
"Well, we were thinking about." said Mandie, her mind racing for things top say she thought of the new team name. "A-a-a new team name!" she said, a smile broadened over her face. "Since our group name was an acronym.D- Darren, R-Rebecca, E-Edwin A-Amy, and M-Me for all of the members in our group, but since there are only 4 of us now we have to think of another one, and some of our ideas were, umm, a little stupid. We thought of Ream, but that means a large quantity something, and were not obese here!" she stated. The boys had weird looks on their faces. Amy started laughing. "Anyway, do you think we should change the name? The d in our dream isn't here anymore." She said.
"I think it's a good name!" stated Kai; he crossed his arm and sat a seat ahead of Mandie. Mandie smiled, a compliment from Kai was rare.
"Whatever floats your boat I guess," said Dizzi. "But, has your dream become a nightmare since Darren left?" she asked. Kenny was about to tell her something when Mandie spoke up.
"Well, now that you mention, it, the dream was a nightmare until her left." She said. She looked around the room. Then to the back of Kai's head. She looked at everybody else; they had all started talking about cool names for groups.
"Sinspinners!" "Blade Crashers!"
"Wolf Pack!" called Rebecca. She had finally gotten up.
"That has a nice ring to it," started Mandie. "But I think I'll keep the Dream Team alive!" she finished. Everybody started Laughing and went back to their seats.
"Well, what are you going to do once we get to our destination?" asked Kai. Mandie looked at him again, this time he was turned around in his seat. He had a slight smile on his face. He ran his hand through his messy hair.
"Well! First I want to get something to eat!" she began. "Then I want to check out my old house! THEN!" She began. "I want to see my sister! The hospital she's at is here!" She said. The room went silent.
"Why didn't you tell us she was there?" they all asked. Kai had a sad look on his face; he was wondering why she hadn't seen him. Mandie smiled and began her story.
"Well, we wanted a doctor who we knew well and knew was good to help my sister, and when I was living here he was my doctor, I loved him so I recommended him! I still live in Thunder Bay, but my mom lives with Colette here! Actually, we might be moving back." She finished. Her smile was now a solemn look, she looked ate her window, to the land below. Mandie always loved flying, and she always wished she could be a bird just once so she can feel nothing holding her up but air. Mr. Dickinson announced that they were landing soon so everybody had to sit down and buckle up. Everyone woke up Tyson and Grandpa, which took quite a while; then they sat down for their arrival.
Everyone filed out of the plane; they stretched and joked while they went through security. Once security was done they were going to go get their bags. But two flight members were nowhere to be seen! They checked all around. Mandie and Amy could not be found anywhere!
"Oh well! We'll get them to send a message to meet us in the lobby with their stuff!" said Kenny. Everyone agreed to this and went to get their things.
Mandie and Amy were huddled together in a dark space, a conveyer belt was running beside them, bags were being carried out into the light.
"This is going to be GREAT!" whispered Mandie. Both girls began to giggle; "I'm glad I thought of it!" finished Mandie.
"Yeah!" Agreed Amy, they both counted down to their great plan.
"3!" "2!" "1!" They whispered.
Both girls jumped onto the conveyer belt and posed for the lady who was closest to them looking for her bag.
"Hey!" laughed Amy. She was lying on her back; her elbows were holding her up.
"How goes it! I'm kickin!" giggled Mandie. She was lying on her stomach, one hand holding her chin one waving to the lady. She winked as she waved her legs back and fourth in the air.
"AHH! WELL! I NEVER!" screamed the lady. Both girls started laughing really hard. They got up and stood on the part that wasn't spinning. They began dancing right there. They were having the times of their lives right there.
"Woah! Who was that?" said Tyson, he had a confused sound to his voice, and one eyebrow was raised. Kai chuckled a bit.
"I think we found Mandie and Amy!" he laughed. Everyone hurried to the sound of the screams and laughter. They came to both destinations, where they were getting their bags, and where Mandie and Amy were causing trouble, once again.
Max Tyson and Ray started laughing their asses off when they saw Mandie and Amy shaking it in front of an audience.
"Woah! Look at Amy shake it!" laughed Max. He had a huge grin on his face as he stared at Amy. Tyson got a sly look on his face.
"So! You like Amy?" he asked. Tyson lightly elbowed Max' arm for an answer. Max' face flushed an embarrassed red. He looked down and pushed together the tips of his fingers.
"Umm, well, umm, she's uh!" he stammered. Finally someone did something. Ray jumped up with the girls and started dancing too. Rebecca grabbed her bag from the conveyer belt and put the radio on. Kylie Minogue was on, "Love at First Sight"
Rebecca laughed and joined in the fun.
"I'll do the washing machine!" laughed Mandie. She did the old spanish dancing move.
"GO MANDIE! GO MANDIE!" called Grandpa from the sideline.
"Oh grandpa! Don't encourage them!" pleaded Tyson.
"I thought you were all for fun Lil' Dude?" asked grandpa. Tyson sighed and went quiet.
When the song was over everyone took a big bow and found his or her bags.
Mandie's mom knew that she and her friends were coming so she sent her Limo out to pick them up.
"ALRIGHT!" they called
"A LIMO!" shouted Tyson.
They all hopped into the limo and got something to eat. They headed for the local McDonalds There were a few booths, but mostly tables. Everybody mostly ordered Big Mac's with a milk shake, but Mandie and Amy had chicken Burgers with Shakes.
Once finished they decided to go to the hospital, and that's where they heard the continuation of Colette's dream.
"YEAH! Once Mandie was done flying on the bird, she hopped on Uriel, they jumped from building top to building top! They came to the hospital, Uriel defended the hospital from an acid spitting dinosaur while Mandie came inside and grabbed me from my bed. All of the people had escaped already, and only we were left in my room! The dino's huge tail smashed through the wall and we fell backward! I remember closing my eyes, but then I woke up!" she said.
"That's some dream!" said Tyson, he took off his cap and scratched his head. Tyson looked around the room. Then his eyes fixed on Rebecca.
"SO! When are you getting out Colly?" asked Amy. She sat on the edge of Colly's bed.
"Two more weeks!" she beamed. Colette's smile was beautiful. She was always such a good person to have around, that smile made everybody smile, even Kai.
Suggestions for their first activity were now being bellowed out. Finally Mandie has enough.
"THAT'S IT! WE'RE PLAYING PAINTBALL! GOING HORSEBACK RIDING! SWIMMING! THEN WE'LL GO TO A HALLOWEEN DANCE!" she screamed.
"Halloween?" asked Rebecca. She had a confused face. Everybody looked confused. Then Kai said something.
"Yeah, it's Halloween, you guys didn't notice? That's why we had the tournament yesterday, we wouldn't want it on a holiday." He said. His monotone voice echoed in the room because it was so quiet. Mandie thought it was too quiet.
"Yes, it IS Halloween, so, what do you guys think of our plan?" she asked. Amy gave her a weird look. "Oh right, I forgot, we're girls! Haha, ok, so what do you guys AND girls think?" she re-asked Everyone hollered and agreed.
