"So Rai, WHY were you screaming last night?" Chloe questioned.
Chloe had been badgering Raimundo and Kimiko all morning. She was like a fly, she just kept being annoying. And followed them almost everywhere they went.
"Chloe!" Leave us alone!" Raimundo shouted.
"Just tell me why you were screaming last night."
Raimundo knew from experience that she wouldn't leave them alone until she had an answer. So he could lie and get her away from him and Kimiko faster. Or he could tell her the truth then get a ton more questions.
'I might as well lie to her. At least then she'll be quiet.' Raimundo thought.
"Um…I ….Um.I saw a spider. Yeah that's it." He lied, kinda badly too.
"O.k. then." She said.
'Man I thought guys were weird now they sound like wimps too.' Chloe mumbled as she walked away.
"Psst. Rai is she gone?" Kimiko asked as she was coming from under the shroud of shadows.
"Yeah, thank god." He said with a sigh of relief. Raimundo ran his hand through his usually messy hair.
"I still can't see how you lived with that." Kimiko said wrapping her hands in his and they began to walk out the door.
"It was kind of o.k. When ever she was being annoying I would just ignore her. Most of the time I was with my friends."
Raimundo and Kimiko started for the door, hand in hand. They were headed for the private beach that the circus owned. Kimiko knew that he was a Brazilian circus star; she was so impressed by that. She told him that his father taught him almost everything that he knew, and that he wanted to share that with his kids.
Raimundo promised Kimiko that he would show her Rio de Janeiro today. So what better place to start than the beach. According to Raimundo it was one of the most beautiful things in the world. Either that or Raimundo just wanted to see Kimiko in her new bikini.
"So what's it like?" Kimiko asked.
"What's what like?" Raimundo questioned.
They were lying on their beach blankets, just tanning under the Brazilian sun. Kimiko was wearing a new red bikini with a silver sparkle star on the top. Raimundo was wearing his orange and green surf trunks.
"What's it like to surf?" She said pointing at his purple and yellow surf board.
"How about I show you?" He grabbed her hand and led her into the ocean.
Back at Raimundo's house…..
"Was it really a spider that Rai was afraid of or was it…..something else?" Chloe said.
"Chloe Pedrosa!" Snapped her mother. "Don't scare your baby sister like that. Now can you put her down for her nap?"
"Yes, mum" Chloe said bluntly.
Chloe hefted her baby sister in her arms and carried her to her nursery. When got to the second level she started to rant about her theory again. She began down the second hall way and then began her discussion.
"Sophie you're probably the only person I can talk to in this house. And the really sad news is…..you're a baby. I really need a life. Hmm, maybe I should call Catalina or Mariza." Chloe was telling her baby sister.
She opened a door by her parent's room. It was a fairly good size nursery. It was about three shades of pink. Hot pink, cotton candy pink, and rose pink. Her room had star decorations on the walls along with baby pictures of her and some of her brothers and sisters each had their names on the bottom along with the date. The room also contained a baby crib, changing table, rocking chair, toy box, ECT. All of them had the same theme.
"Sophie, mum and dad really need to lay off the pink I think." Chloe pointed out.
"Well since your not a sleep let's get back to what I was talking about before. Now let's see. Oh, yeah, I think if it wasn't a spider that mad him scream then it must have been something else. Like, like him and Kimiko did something last night." Chloe said to her baby sister. "Well I can see you have know idea what I'm talking about. Well what do I expect from a one year old?"
She put Maria in her crib. Put her baby blanket on her and gave her stuffed bunny. Kissed her on the forehead and turned on her lullaby music. She looked out the window and saw Rai and Kim come back from the beach. Chloe quickly turned out the light and ran down stairs.
"Carlos! Get out of my way." She screamed after running into her twin brother.
"Why, what's the hurry little sis?" He smirked
"I just want to see Rai and his girl friend." She pushed him out of her way and ran down the stairs.
A/n well we met a few more characters. And will Chloe ever find out why Rai was screaming?
