Chapter 15: Dancing

Inez came home with her beautiful dog named Lavender. Matt was waiting for her there.
"Wow! You picked a real good dog," he complemented. Inez smiled. She kissed Matt.

"That was for the compliment," she replied.
"Do you remember the day back in January when we left?" asked Inez.
"Yeah. It feels like only yesterday," replied Matt.
"I know!" exclaimed Inez.

FLASHBACK:

It's January 2006. January 16, 2006. A dark day for the kids. Today was a day that felt as though was going to be the worst day. Today, 11 year old Matt was moving back to Aberdeen Scotland. The place he used to live in when he was younger. He is Scottish. 11 year old Jackie's moving to Africa. The place her ancestors lived in. And 9 year old Inez was moving back to Mexico City. The place she was born. The morning they were all going to leave each other, the kids came to meet each other at the park.
"Well this is it. I'll never see each other you two again." said Matt sadly. Jackie came up to him.
"Don't say that. We'll see each other again…eventually." said Jackie trying to make him feel better.

"Well guys I just, I just… (Sobs)" cried Inez. Inez grabbed Matt and she put her head on Matt's chest and sobbed. Matt then put his arms around her. "What ever may happen, please remember! We've been working together for so long, I feel as though I don't want to leave you guys. We're like the three amigos!" replied Inez. Jackie put her shoulder on her.
"I just don't want to leave Digit, Dr. Marbles, and Mother B. While he's in Cyberspace, we're on earth! Going to different places." said Jackie. "So we better remember each other!"

"JACKIE! JACKIE CHILD! TIME TO GO!" yelled Jackie's mom.
"MATT! TIME TO GO! GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE!" yelled Matt's little sister.
"INEZALIN! TIME TO LEAVE FOR MEXICO!" yelled Inez's mom with a Mexican accent. Everyone looked at each other.
"Well goodbye." said Matt.

When everyone was about to leave, Jackie had to say something.
"Guys wait!" yelled Jackie. Matt and Inez turned around.
"Yes?" they asked. Jackie took out three silver chain necklaces. Each one had a card that hard there picture of them in it.
"Here's something to remember us by." replied Jackie.

Everyone smiled. They hugged each other. There hands kept in each others.

There hands let go and they left each other. Jackie went with her family, Inez went with hers, and Matt went with his. Each kid remembered a song called "Please Remember" by Leanne Rimes. Matt looked out his window. He put his backpack in his lap.

Matt: And how we laugh and how we smile
and how this world was yours and mine.

Jackie kept her eyes on the floor. She never felt like this.

Jackie: And how no dream was out of reach
I stood by you, you stood by me.

Inez gazed at her mom, her dad, her Uncle Emilio, her Grandma and Grandpa.

Inez: We took each day and made it shine
we wrote our names across the sky.

The kids went on the airplanes when they got to the airport. They never saw each other again. Matt went on his, Jackie went on hers, and Inez went on hers.

Matt, Jackie, Inez: We ride so fast, we ride so free
and I had you and you had me. Please remember. Please remember.

They were now in two separate places. Not knowing that as time went by, they have forgotten. Not until they would meet each other……at the end of September.

END FLASHBACK

"I like remembering things," stated Matt.
"So do I," replied Inez. Inez's smile faded.
"What is it?" asked Matt. Inez looked at him.
"The shop keeper recognized my small pox disease and after hearing about dying, I don't know what to do. I mean, who knows this maybe my last day on Earth and we don't even know it," replied Inez. "So much has happened that I don't know what to do. I feel lost,"

Matt hugged her. He smiled.
"Why are you smiling?" asked Inez. Matt looked at her.
"While you were gone, we planned an appointment for you to have a small pox shot. There may be still some hope," replied Matt. Inez was so surprised and held on to Matt.

Crucify my love
if my love is blind
Crucify my love
if it sets me free
Never know never trust
"That love should see a color"
Crucify my love
if it should be that way.

"Are you serious?" she asked.
"I am," replied Matt.
"We still have a chance of my life not ending here," returned Inez. Inez smiled again.

"I haven't been this happy in ages. It feels like forever to me," she said. Matt's arms wrapped around her body; Inez felt safe in his comfort.
"Do you wish it would be like this forever?" she asked.

Swing the heartache
Feel it inside out
When the wind cries
I'll say good-by
Tried to learn Tried to find
To reach out for eternity
Where's the answer
Is this forever?

Matt and Inez started dancing around the floor.

"I'm glad you and I could be together," whispered Matt.

"I wouldn't want to love any other boy but you," replied Inez. Jackie came in to the room.
"Hey guys Slider's here," she said. She looked at Matt and Inez dancing around the room.

"…and you don't care," she said leaving. Inez's eyes looked into Matt's eyes.

Like a river flowing to the sea
You'll be miles away, and I will know
I know I can deal with the pain
No reason to cry

Crucify my love
If my love is blind
Crucify my love
If it sets me free
Never know Never trust
"That love should see a color"
Crucify my love
If it should be that way.

"You know Matt? If I were to lose you, I'd probably sing the song that song by Within Temptation called "Somewhere"," whispered Inez.

"Really?" asked Matt.

"Yeah," replied Inez.

"I see how you would think that," returned Matt. Matt's dog came in.

"Hey it's Obi," exclaimed Matt. Obi barked. Just then, Lavender came in. Obi turned his head from Matt and looked at Lavender.

'Til the loneliness shadows the sky
I'll be sailing down and I will know
I know I can clear clouds away
Oh Is it a crime to love

Swing the heartache
Feel it inside out
When the wind cries
I'll say good-by
Tried to learn Tried to find
To reach out for eternity
Where's the answer
Is this forever.

Lavender looked at Obi and they started loving on each other.
"Look at that! Obi and Lavender love each other," exclaimed Matt. Inez giggled at Matt's dog. Obi's tail started moving.

If my love is blind
Crucify my love
If it sets me free
Never know Never trust
"That love should see a color"
Crucify my love
If it should be that way.

"How sweet!" replied Inez. Matt looked at Inez.

"You do realize what this means do you?" asked Matt.

"No," replied Inez.

"It means……WE'RE IN LAWS!" exclaimed Matt. Inez looked at him.
"Are you serious?" asked Inez.
"Yep! Looks like you and I are in laws Inez," replied Matt. Inez's widened.
"Wow," muttered Inez.
