"It's great to be home," I murmured putting my suitcase away. It was about a week since we got back from our Caribbean cruise, and I finally finished unpacking my suitcase. Now there was only one thing left to put away. I looked over to my bed where the black leather box lay. I hadn't looked inside it since the night I got back to the cruise ship, I went over to my bed and sat, I reached for the box, my hands trembling. I unlocked the box and slowly opened it, "Please don't let this be a dream, please don't let this be a dream." I silently pleaded closing my eyes. When the box was fully open I looked down inside there lay the sword and its scabbard that Jack had given me. My parents thought I had bought this as a souvenir. The only thing that proved my parent's idea wrong was the note that Jack had also put in the box. I picked up the note and looked at it. I smiled to myself remembering the adventure I had shared with him. I put the note away, then locked the black box and put it in my closet. That would have to be my swords home for now anyway.
My parents thought I was being quieter than usual, which I was because I liked to think about Jack. Anyway my parents thought that I should go see my friend Tiffany, they thought that seeing a friend might help with my depression as my parents called it. This would be the perfect time to hang out with Tiffany anyway; we just had our fifth Sunday dinner at church. We have fifth Sunday dinner every time there is a fifth Sunday in a month, because of this we don't have evening service. Since dinner was over and we had gone home to change, mom and I began to get ready to go to Tiffany's house.
While on our way to Tiffany's house I remembered that before I left for my vacation, Tiffany and I had been studying swordplay, as well as practice some of the more basic moves with sticks. As I thought about swords my thoughts drifted to pirates and from there to Jack. Then a new thought surfaced in my mind, " What if I told Tiffany and her sister Anne about Jack!" I hadn't told anyone because I knew that nobody would believe me. But surely Tiffany would, she was my best friend, and she knew I would never lie to her, didn't she?
