Chapter 2: America
In the morning Chihiro rolled up her sleeping bag that she used last night. She grabbed her ribbon and tied it to her wrist so that not even the wind would take it away from her. She helped her parents pack just a few more things until the moving people came and took their stuff to the airport. They could only take so much stuff so they were leaving a lot of furniture in the house. Chihiro didn't want to leave anything of hers behind so she had only six bags. Although she couldn't win with her dresser. She sighed as she looked at it, bare and stripped of anything valuable. She walked out of the house and sat in the car. As her parents began to drive to the airport she looked out the window at the shrine. "Bye Kohaku...." She whispered as a tear trailed down her cheek.
On the plane she grabbed a dictionary and began to practice her english. She knew this was going to be the strangest thing they have ever done in her life. "Papa. What part of America are we going to?" She asked. He turned around from his seat and looked at her. He picked up a flight map.
"We'll be going to California first. We have to get a transfer to another plane from there. Our stuff will get the direct root to our new house." He smiled. Her mother turned around and smiled at her.
"You'll like our new house in Florida!" She said happily. Chihiro frowned and looked out of the plane window. All she saw was a bunch of clouds and water. Her eyes lighted up as she remembered the spirit world had a huge ocean. She closed her eyes and tried to remember it. It looked something like this but it wasn't as dark. It must be very deep. The plane landed a few hours later. They transferred two more times before they were in Florida.
Chihiro got out of the cab that they used to get their car. They paid the taxi guy and got into their car and drove on the right side of the road to get to Pensacola. Chihiro earlier mentioned how weird the names they called the places sound. She was told that it was like that because of its history.
She looked out the windows and stared at all the trees they pasted. She saw lots of broken cars gas stations and many strange things. They stopped at a gas station to get more gas and Chihiro got out. She walked into the store. "What a lot of strange food." She commented looking at the candy and canned foods. She barely understood any of the writing on the packages, but she figured they might taste good to the normal americans that lived here.
She grabbed a bag of M&Ms and placed them on the counter. She paid the guy without speaking and using some american money. She'll have to ask her father who the people on the money were later. Obviously they were important or something. She got into the car and ate some of her candy. Her father paid for the gas and they were on the road again.
Soon the car drove into a very housey area. She looked at the houses as they passed them. The car drove into a parking lot where a moving van was parked. This was their new house. She looked at the suburb area and houses. "They all look alike." She commented. Her mother walked up to her.
"I love the architecture the american's use on their houses. It looks marvelous!"
"Looks rather plain to me." Chihiro commented under her breath.
"You'll like it here." Her mother said and walked up to her father.
