Note: Please note the POV changes. Mina and Justin's are separated by a DS–I'm trying something new...Do you like it? Is it effective?
I watched as this strange girl called Mina skipped off into the crowd. Apparently I totally resembled this guy Link, who I never heard of. Oh well, you don't learn much being a captain's son. I ran off to find my dad. Together we found an inn and I dropped off my stuff. By then it was nearly seven so I decided to go off and find the bridge Mina had mentioned.
After asking several people for directions, I'm finally there. And it's way above the water... It looks like a couple hundred feet. But then I guess you can't trust my judgement, considering I'm afraid of heights and I tend to blow things way out of proportion. Now that I think about it, it could be two hundred feet... So I stay on the land part of the reeeeaaaalllly long swinging bridge.
Then I see her, she's on the side of the bridge. She starts to cross and makes it to the middle and then stops. I watch her sit down and to my horror, motion for me to join her. But of course she can't know that...
There he is. What's he waiting for? I shift, just enough that I can hide my bag... Boy, this is going to be great when he sees it. Finally, he starts to move to where I am.
One step at a time... One step at a...
"There you are! What took you so long?" I persist.
"I...uh...didn't see you," he stutters. I notice he's gripping the railing extra hard... Ooh, he's afraid heights!
Okay, now to sit down. Slowly...slowly...
"So," she says. I look at her she's changed clothes. She's now wearing a sweatshirt and slipped on some shoes. I start to wonder why, and then a breeze comes, and I regret not putting on a sweatshirt myself. But I look at her again, and I can tell she's hiding something.
"Okay, what is it?" I ask. No one can keep a secret from me.
Oh gosh, he knows.
"What's what?" I ask a little nervously.
Then I tell her, "No one can keep a secret from me... I'm an expert at these things." I wait for her to show me what's behind her back... I can see it now...it's some kind of bag.
Darn. "Oh, it's just some clothes," I say and pull out the bag. I shove it into his hands."I though you could try them on... I made them," I lied about that last part... I watch him open the bag and pull out the green tunic. And he's wearing the boots he had on earlier–Yes!
Oh-my-gosh. It's green. And it's old. And it includes tights–white tights.
"Um, I think I'll pass," I try to say it nicely 'cause there's no way I'm putting that on. She pulls me up to stand and leads me over to the side of the bridge where she came from. To my surprise, he pushes me behind a bush.
This has to work... I'll never forgive my self if it doesn't
"Please o please o please!" I say, "I promise I won't look!"
What was I supposed to do? I changed and surprisingly the clothes fit, and were pretty comfortable. I stepped out from behind the bush. Mina squealed, and started to do that girl thing and started jumping around in circles hugging herself.
"Are you okay?" I ask, because I was starting to get worried.
"I'm fine!" I squeaked, "It's just, you look so much like him!" And he did.
