Chapter eight
---------------------------------------
AJ yawned as she walked down the stairs; she felt so much better now that she had taken a shower. She reached the bottom and walked into the living room, where Josh and Envey were waiting.
They both were sitting on the couch with their feet up on the coffee table, chewing down on popcorn.
They turned their heads and looked at her.
"What?" AJ asked
"Jeeze what took you so long?" said Josh
She rolled her eyes, "You try washing thick fur with paws".
Envey looked at Josh and started laughing, "She got you there", she said.
AJ smiled, "So what was the rush?"
"We got you a few things", they replied in unison.
"You did?" she asked
They nodded; Envey waved for her to come over. So she did, and sat in the middle of them both.
Josh turned and reached for something beside the couch, they were seated on, and the wall. He pulled out three packages; both were wrapped in black wrapping paper, along with a white bow on top.
He handed them to AJ; she sat them on her lap but only sat there.
"Well open them", said Envey excitedly.
"Oh right", said AJ tearing off the paper of one, setting the other two aside on the coffee table.
She ripped off the bow and carefully tore off the black wrapping paper, setting it aside.
Underneth was a box; she opened the lid, "Oh my gosh", she cried. Inside was a laptop, the newest model even.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she said, giving them both hugs.
"You have to open the other two first", said Josh.
AJ set her laptop aside, and picked up her other preasent. She, once again, tore off the bow and wrapping paper, set it aside, and opened the lid to the box.
Inside was a beautiful journal and a necklace. The journal was thick black leather, that had a white dimond in the middle, and her anitials inside of that. The nacklace was a blue flame emblem that had AJ in the middle that hung on a small black chain.
She gasped, "wow", putting the necklace on.
Envey handed her the next one. This one was just a blck box; she opened the lid.
By now she was overflowed with joy, but this gift sealed the package, so to speak.
"You didn't!" she cried. The preasent inside the box was a black and white cloak she had been dying for. She took it out of the box and lifted it up for a better view; her jaw dropped.
"Hope you like it", said Josh.
AJ looked at him, "duh", she said playfully.
"Try it on", said Envey.
AJ got up and swung it around her shoulders. She pinned the two sides together with another blue flamed emblem, that of course, had an A in the middle.
"It's perfect", said AJ.
"Well we knew how much you wanted it", said Josh.
"Mom and dad helped pay for it too", Envey said.
"I love it all, thanks you guys".
"No prob, but there's one more", said Josh.
He reached around the couch again, and drug out a box with the decoration. Josh slid it in front of AJ. She lifted off the lid and her jaw, again, dropped. She bent over and lifted up her gift.
"We named her Rain", said Envey.
What Aj now held was a little white huskey puppy. She waged her tail and tried to lick AJ's nose. A blck leather collar was hung around her fury neck, the name Rain in white on the side.
"She's adorable", said AJ.
---------------------------------------------------------
Later that night AJ layed in her bed staring out her bedroom window. A full moon would peak out of the clouds every now and then.
She suddenly heard whimpering. She looked over to Rain and saw her shaking so hard in her bed it was making her whimper.
AJ slid out of her bed and walked over to the white sleeping puppy. Bending over, she gently picked Rain up and held her close. AJ walked over to her window, and looked down at the street. A person or two would walk by every now and then.
Sighing, she walked over to her bed. She laid Rain down carefully, trying not to wake her up. Then, she got under the covers, covering up Rain as well.
Ten minutes later, she was fast asleep.
