If Only It Could Be Easier

Chapter Five Ate It All Up

Arista woke up and looked around to find she wasn't in her big bed in her Aunt and Uncle's Penthouse or in her small twin in South Carolina. "What in the.?"

"Hey there Prima." Said a familiar voice from across the large room with numerous small beds. Spot was staring at her with her ballet shoes in his hands.

"My shoes what are you doing with them?" she said hostilely.

"Chill der Prima. Der was blood all over so I cleaned up youse feets and shoes." Arista looked down to see her bandaged feet and they felt warm and didn't hurt as much as they did.

"Thank you that was very thoughtful." She said blushing just slightly.

"So.. I jus wanted to apologize to ya. Sorry fer makin ya flip."

"Sorry I flipped I was out of line I.."

"No, Ya weren't I was and when Ise wrong Ise admits it. I was wrong."

"Thank you for everything."

"No problem."

There was an awkward silence then Arista realized her Aunt and Uncle didn't know where she was. She got up and gasped rushing towards Spot to get her shoes. "Got to go."

"Wait.." But she was out the door before another word was spoken.

Arista was doing some quick thinking to tell her Aunt and Uncle what she had been doing all night it was around seven in the morning when she walked in. Then she realized her Aunt and Uncle were asleep. She crept back into her room and put on her pajamas. Then she fell back asleep in her nice comfortable bed.

Two hours later she heard her Aunt talking to her Uncle and decided to make an entrance. She needed to pull this one off.

"Wow I sure am tired! I didn't get home til real late last night working with my instructor."

"Why you sure did I went to bed at ten and you still weren't home and Edward went to bed earlier then I did."

"Yeah I worked so hard yesterday."

"Hard work is good for a young lady teaches responsibility and respect." Said Edward in his same smug tone as always.

"I totally agree with you Uncle Edward."

"Did you have fun sweetheart?"

"Of course, I always have fun when I dance." Arista said flashing a dazzling smile once again to her Aunt and Uncle who ate it all up.

"What time is it today?"

"She said Two and that I would be home late. But don't worry I know my way around really well now."

"That's good. Edward and I are going out shopping and I know you'll want to rest we will be leaving very soon."

"Yes Auntie."

"Go take a nap so you won't be so tired."

"What ever you say Auntie." Arista turned around marveling at her acting skills and went back into her room. She waited for her Aunt and Uncle to leave before making her exit. She decided she wanted to go get some fresh hot bakery bread for Spot as a 'Thank you'.
