Serena woke up the next morning to the smell of blueberry pancakes. She looked down at Delia's empty bed and laughed. "She must be with dad downstairs" she thought. Serena slowly got out of bed making her way down the stairs. She could hear Delia laughing.

"Hey Serena!" Delia called out and ran to hug her sister good morning. "I hope you slept well" she said. "Dad is making breakfast and Collin is taking me surfing later. Want to come?"

Serena smiled and nodded her head. "So how did you sleep?" Serena asked.

"Oh great! Except I had these weird dreams." Delia replied.

Serena knew that orphans could get what they call night terrors and asked her about it. "What happened?" she asked.

Delia sat down and tried to remember what had happened.

"It was like this shadowy thing came in your room then turned into a person. He was hovering over you and then he looked at me surprised and left."

Serena choked on her juice.

"Are you ok?" Delia asked.

"Oh I'm fine" she put her hand on her chest.

"Did you have the same dream?" Delia asked amused.

"Umm no" Serena said. Just then Collin came downstairs.

"Hey" he said still half asleep. "What's for breakfast?"

"Blueberry pancakes. Daddy made them."

"Hope your hungry" Mr. Killingsworth said and ran to get his suitcase.

"Daddy where are you going so soon?" Delia asked.

"I'm so sorry Delia I have to leave for a few days. I know this might be hard to understand but daddy could lose his job if he doesn't go. But I'll be back in 3 days." Delia looked disappointed. Serena could tell she was sad.

"Hey you still want to surf today?" she asked. Delia let out a little smile. Collin looked at his dad and shook his head. Mr. Killingsworth looked back at Collin as if trying to say sorry. Collin turned to Delia.

"It's ok I'm much more fun than him" he said. Delia smiled. Mr. Killingsworth picked up his daughter and kissed her forehead.

"Don't let him be mean," he teased. Delia laughed.

"I'll report it to you if anything happens" she laughed.

Later that day Collin, Serena and Delia headed to the beach.

"We'll need to get you a surfboard first," Collin was explaining. "I know the perfect place to get it. I got my first one here."

"Cool thanks Collin," said Delia. "You surf too right Serena?" she asked.

"Oh yeah" she said. "Collin wouldn't let me not know how to surf. I got my first board there too."

"We're almost there I just need to stop and get some gas for the van" Collin said.

"Come with me" Serena said motioning towards the little convenient store. "We can get some candy bars." Delia went willingly.

"What's your favorite candy bar?" Delia asked Serena.

"I love Milky Ways." Serena said taking money out of her pocket.

"I'm a musketeer girl." Delia laughed. "Ever since I was little I would always ask mom if I could eat one after dinner. She only let me once or twice though." she said. Serena walked down another aisle with Delia at her tail.

"This is my favorite aisle in the whole store" Serena said. "This is where I get my magazines to keep up with the Hollywood scoop." Delia smiled. She looked at some magazines on the rack and picked up one called Twist.

"Can I get this one?" she asked.

"Sure, just as long as you can read" Serena joked. Delia shoved her big sister a little.

"I'm going to pay for the magazines, why don't you go get the 3 Musketeer Bar over there. Just put this in the machine." Serena handed her $1.25.

"OK thanks, you want anything?" she asked.

"No I'm fine thanks" Serena answered.

"OK" Delia walked towards the vending machine. While Serena was paying Delia was having trouble putting the dollar in.

"Go in you stupid thing" Delia said frustrated. She tried smoothing the dollar out then putting it in but that wouldn't work.

"Serena!" she called. "This dollar won't go in can I trade for another one?"

"Sure" Serena handed her a new dollar.

"Thanks" Delia walked back to the vending machine. Again she tried to put the dollar in but it wouldn't go. "Grrr!!" she was really frustrated now. Delia tried smoothing this one out too. She put the dollar in and it went in. 2 seconds later it came out.

"Dang!" Delia shook the vending machine. All of a sudden the machine blew up. Delia was jolted a little by the impact and fell backwards.

"Delia!" Serena cried. Serena ran over to her sister lying down. "Are you ok? What happened?" Delia stood there for a second or two shocked.

"No not again!!" Delia screamed and ran out of the store.

"Delia wait!" Serena tried to grab Delia but she was to fast. "Collin!!" she screamed. "Delia!" Collin looked around and saw Delia running as fast as she could trying to make an escape. Collin dropped the gas trigger and ran after her. Collin was to fast for Delia and caught her quickly right before she was about to enter the busy intersection. Cars honked angrily.

"Delia what do you think you're doing?" Collin scolded. Serena had caught up to them by now.

"Delia!" she cried.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to" Delia said with tears streaming down her face.

"What do you mean you didn't mean too?" Serena asked. Delia just sat there and cried her head buried in her hands. Collin looked at Serena wide eyed.

"Let's get her home" he said.
