Okay, I know some of you might be mad... But it's summer and I was gone this whole time. I still might be doing something else so I don't know when I can update after this, but I managed to get another one done. I present to you, the third character.

Lori Marie -

"I can't wait to get back, Geni." I pull my newly highlighted hair over my shoulder as I finished my braid.

"You'll be there for months and not see your parents." The pixie hovering in front of my face states with a frown.

"Don't rain on my mood, Geni."

"Sorry, we both know, as well as Penny, that you love your parents." Geni looks over at my little blue lamb sleeping soundly on my pillow.

"We do, but I also love Alfea. You know how amazing it is there." I reply and start looking for my bag.

"I guess you're right. And your bag is over there." Geni points to a small spot of pink, buried beneath paintings and CDs.

"Thanks, Geni. I really wish I could take all of these with me." I pull my bag out and sling it over my shoulder. My parents are both very neat, but I guess I missed out on that gene. My room is nothing if not messy. There are paintings, CDs, art supplies, pictures, and plants everywhere.

"Pick one painting and five CDs. You've already got your art supplies packed." Geni suggest and picks up one of the CDs lying on the edge of my bed. "Take this one, it's my favorite." I take the CD from Geni and tuck it into my bag.

"Lori, you're going to miss the shuttle if you don't hurry!" I look at the clock hanging next to my door when I hear my mother's voice.

"I'm coming, mom! Geni, pick another three CDs." I am already packing a painting and another CD into my bag. My suitcase was already brought down last night and I was busy painting and therefore forgot to pack my bag. Geni passes me three more cases and I stuff them into my bag before picking up Penny and rushing down the stairs. "I'm going to miss you, mom."

"I'm going to miss you too, sweetie. We'll see you for Christmas. Stella and Maximilian are coming as well."

"That's great! Will Aunt Miele also be there?" I kiss my mother's cheek before releasing her from my hug.

"Yes, and remember to keep an eye out for Christy and Miabella, it's their first year."

"I know mom, I will. Where's dad?"

"I'm right here, sweet." I turn and run into my father's arms. "I'm going to miss you."

"I'm going to miss you too. Don't leave mom here all alone every day. We get that you work at the palace, but Aunt Miele is also busy and we can't have mom spending her days alone."

"I'll make sure I'll be back for dinner every night." I giggle as his chin digs into my head.

"Fantastic. Now sadly, I gotta go. I love you both!"

"We love you too, sweetie." My mother smiles as I grab Penny and race out of the door with a suitcase in tow and Geni behind me.

A/N: So, I know it's not amazing, but I have been away from my laptop for about four weeks, so no judging. I hope you liked it, and I'll try to get another one up soon.
