Winds Of Change Chapter 3

Everyone turned around. Surprisingly, no one said anything. They just stared at what couldn't possibly be the Fi they knew. "What, it looks like you saw a ghost or something! Jeesh, lighten up people! Aren't you happy? I'm home!" Two minutes later. "Guys? You still haven't welcomed me back and none of you have moved. At all. Anyone wanna break the silence?" This wasn't the same Fi anymore. She definitely had changed over the past year. Who would have thought that Fi, the one and only Fiona Phillips had a gothic side? Yet there she stood in her elegant black and purple velvet gown and what used to be her very long brown hair, well, her hair was still the same length, maybe a little longer but it was now pitch black with dark cherry-red streaks. "Uh, hi Fi." Clu finally broke the silence. "Uh, I like your hair?" Clu was confused. "Thanks, aunt Melinda TOTALLY freaked out when she saw it. I think she had a heart attack. Who wants to be a prep anyways when you can be a Goth?" Fi laughed. "Hi, little sis." Jack's voice trailed off. "Hey! I thought you were never going to say hi!" Fi gave him a big bear hug. "So mom, did ya miss me? Did ya, did ya, did ya? I'm sorry, caffeine high. Or is that the sugar? Who cares! So, how's the tour been going?" "Well, honey, it's been going, ok." "That's awesome! CAREY!" "Fi ran up to Carey almost tripping from the 5 inch soles of her shoes. "Carey I missed you so much! CLU!" Fi ran even faster to greet him. "Clu, I, I." She stopped talking and gave him the most passionate kiss you would ever see. Her black lipstick left Clu's lips black too. "Wow." Ned and Irene were speechless. "So, mom where's Annie?" "Honey, she left. Her plane left before yours came in." "WHAT? No. No. No! That's all wrong! She has my vision!" "Your what?" "Oh nevermind. This is just great! Now she's in Pakistan and I'm left in Hope Springs! Why is my life so messed up?" "Why does that matter? Who cared about her anyways?" "She has my ring!" "Wait, which ring?" "MY RING!"
