"I can't believe she forgot how to celebrate parties..." Jackie muttered as she placed the birthday cake on the decorated table, "That's the last thing any kid would want to forget."
"Well, she's going to remember now." Inez smiled as Slider blew up a balloon and tied it with a ribbon.
"Hopefully she'll remember." Slider corrected, "This isn't a huge gurantee..."
"Well, it's worth tryin'." Matt smiled, "And I just got off the phone with Alizia. Her bus has just turned onto our neighbourhood."
"Andy!" Inez called, "Get down here! Your sister will be here any minute!"
"Coming!" Andy called.
"Shh!" Jackie shushed, "She's coming!"
Close your eyes
Take a breath
Come and take a jump inside
You won't have to think about tomorrow
Come along
Get on board
'Cause it's time to take a ride
Can anything else you know remove the sorrow?
Everybody hid in thier positions, as Alizia left the school bus, and approached the front door.
You will find it's the only way
You have lost before
Only now you can recieve it!
When Alizia opened the door...
"What the..." Alizia was half speechless.
"Surprise!" the party guests jumped out of their hiding spots, "Happy birthday, Alizia!"
Don't run away from love
Don't run away
Just because you don't wanna give in
Oh, ohhhh
Don't run away from love
Don't run away
There's gotta be somethin' more to believe
Don't run away
Don't run away from love
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, yeah
Alizia was shocked, as every single bit of her memory returned. A smile spread across her face, as she giggled and laughed, and ran into her mother and father's arms.
You've been down
Down this road
Like a thousand times before
Say you don't have the strength to change your mind
What's the deal
And what's to lose?
What are you waiting for?
Do you really wanna be the one who's left behind?
The candles on Alizia's birthday cake were lit, as the whole group sang "Happy Birthday." After the song ended, Alizia closed her eyes, made a wish, and blew out her candles. The group cheered as Inez took a picture.
You will find it's your lucky day
You have lost before
Maybe now you can believe it!
Alizia was blindfolded, and given a large stick. She began to whack the pinata as hard as she could. Until candy and goodies poured out of the pinata.
Don't run away from love
Don't run away
Just because you don't wanna give in
Oh, ohhhh
Don't run away from love
Don't run away
There's gotta be somethin' more to believe
Don't run away
Don't run away from love
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, yeah
Alizia blindfolded Andy and gave him a paper donkey tail. She spun him around three times, and lead him towards the poster of the tail-less donkey. Andy pinned the donkey's tail on the nose, instead of the behind. The group began to laugh.
Don't you run away from love
Don't you run away
(Don't run away from love!)
Don't you run away from love
Don't you run away
(Don't run away!)
Alizia almost forgot how a cake tasted like. Inez snuck a picture of Andy eating messily. By the time Andy found out, the group was laughing and it was too late. Alizia was definatly going to keep that picture.
You will find it's your lucky day
You have lost before
Maybe now you can believe it!
"Alright! Present time!" Inez called.
As the rest of the group gathered in the living room, Inez handed the camera to Matt and whispered, "Take a picture of Alizia for each present."
"Got it." Matt nodded.
Don't run away from love
Don't run away
Just because you don't wanna give in
Oh, ohhhh
Don't run away from love
Don't run away
There's gotta be somethin' more to believe
Don't run away
Don't run away from love
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, yeah
When Alizia opened her last present, Matt took a final snap. The present was a silver locket, that Matt and Inez both bought for her.
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh...
The End
Look out for Book Four: Secrets Within. Coming this October!
