I couldn't think of a way for the trial to go with a happy ending, so I decided to skip it. Sorry for not being very creative. Just so you know, Raimundo's dad got life in prison. Also, here are some ideas for you practical joke lovers!
I landed on the fairgrounds. People were taking down tents and booth, and putting the animals and games into trucks. Suddenly, I got the wind knocked out of me, fell over, and started getting dragged on my butt. Raimundo was walking in the opposite direction I was facing. He looked happy for some reason. He was carrying a box full of stuff. He went into to a trailer. There was a T.V, a couch, a mini oven, stove, sink, and refrigerator, a card table, two bunk beds, and a door that I think led to a bathroom. Fabio and Tay were sitting on the beds. Fabio was holding a box of stuff too. "Are you sure about this?" Fabio asked Raimundo.
Raimundo shrugged. "I'm going to miss Rio de Janeiro, but we'll come back sometime, and right now it reminds me too much of Mom and Dad. I need some time to forget what happened for awhile,"
"I meant the sleeping arrangements. You're sure you want to share a room with Tay, Mom, and Dad?"
"Why, do you want to stay here?"
"No, I just want to make sure you don't change your mind. Staying with Carlos and Isabella permanently is going to be great! I hope you two get along as roommates," and he left.
Then I got it. Raimundo's dad must have gone to prison and Tay's family had adopted Raimundo. I hoped things would go nicely for him for awhile. They did. After a couple mouths, you would think Raimundo was really Tay's brother. He called her parents, who where acrobats, by their real names, but he was definitely part of the family. That included everyone in the circus. Now I could see why Raimundo was like he was at the temple. To them playing pranks was like doing homework. If someone got hurt, it wasn't funny. You had to be able to laugh at it afterwards, even if it happened to you. Like Raimundo and Tay put salt in the sugar bowl and a rubber band around the thing that squirts water at the sink (I don't know what it's called) for Tay's dad. After he put what he thought was sugar in his coffee and drank it, he ran over to the sink, turned the faucet all the way up, and got squirted full blast. Also, they put flour in Isabella's hair dryer. With Fabio, Raimundo figured out how to pick the lock on the bathroom door, and opened while Fabio was taking a dump, while Tay was video taping it. It wouldn't have been that bad if Fabio was reading, but he was playing his guitar while singing "Singing On The Toilet". But they got their share of pranks, like thinking Fabio was getting electrocuted. My favorite was when Ri and Tay stayed up late and watched "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". In the morning, Fabio found them in the same bed with their arms around each other and was about to think otherwise (ewww!) when he found the video in the T.V. He got a hockey mask, a chainsaw, and Isabella with a video camera. After they got everything ready, Fabio started the chainsaw and swung it around over his head when they woke up. They screamed and Raimundo fell out of the bed trying to back away, pulling the window blinds down with him. Then they realized who it was, and once then chainsaw was turned off and Fabio and Isabella started laughing, Ri and Tay started beating Fabio to the floor with their pillows. I noticed that Raimundo and Tay always worked together and never against each other. They could always share their thoughts and feelings with each other and talk. They were the best of friends.
In the circus, Raimundo wanted to be an acrobat and he got really good. I saw where he learned some of his fighting skills. When he got to the age he was now, it suddenly hit me. How long had I been in the thought keeper? I got worried. Had I been here as long as the years that had gone by here, even if they were just bits and pieces?
I hoped it wouldn't be long until I reached the last memory. Then I started falling again.
I'll update soon. I promise the next chapter will be more exciting.
