Chapter 5- The pants and Krista
So where do the traveling pants come in on all of this? Well, just be patient, you'll see. Carmen had the pants first, but she only had them for a week. Well it was the 7th day and her last day before shipping them off to Lena. After returning from her walk, Carmen washed up, and sat down at the dining room table. Then Krista walked in. She was dressed in a mini skirt, a tank top, and high flip-flops. "Let's go to the mall Carmen." Krista said.
"Well, I don't know. "
"Please?"
"Fine, lemme just change." Carmen headed into her room and shut the door. She pulled out the traveling pants and put them on. She walked out and said "Ready."
"Awesome pants, can I borrow them some time?" Krista asked.
"NO! I mean, they ARE my property and I just like to keep these particular pants to myself. They're special." Carmen explained. So off they headed to the mall. Carmen clung close to Krista, in fear that someone would take her. In every shop she would be by Krista's side. But after a while, she started to loosen up. She then remembered why she wore the pants today. Good luck for Krista. She obviously knew why Krista wanted to go to the mall, for a boyfriend. So Carmen wore the pants for good luck. As Carmen and Krista went into a store called Quiksilver, they saw a boy about Krista's age. Krista walked up to him. When she came back to Carmen she was bursting with joy. "I gave him my number, He's gonna call me tonight. Oh yeah, his name is James."
Carmen too, was bursting with joy and they both went home to announce it to their family. As they walked, Carmen whispered to the pants, "Thank you."
