"Shake it, shake it, baby, come on now! Shake it, shake it, baby, ooo oooh! Shake it shake it, baby, huh! Abc, baby, oo ooo! 123, baby, nah nah! Do re mi, baby, huh! Thats how easy love can be!" sang Domino as he took a shower the next day. I played Halo 3 on the PS3 while he sang ABC from the Jackson 5. You may hear me say this a million times during the course of this story but just my luck huh? I get stuck in a redwood cabin with a dog-crazy, girl-freak, shower singing idiot of a best friend. Thats okay though... if I take my mind off the song maybe I can get past this dilema...okay maybe not.
"Domino shut up before I come on there and make you!!" I screamed at him.
"Sit down girl, I think I love ya! No, get up girl, show me what you can do!!Shake it, shake it, baby, come on now! Shake it, shake it, baby, ooo oooh! Shake it shake it, baby, huh! Abc, baby, oo ooo! 123, baby, nah nah! Do re mi, baby, huh! Thats how easy love can be!!" he sang even louder back. He knew i'd never go in there. I wanted to save my eyes from the torment. So it only continued louder and louder, at least he picked a different song. MJ none-the-less but a different song, "Keep On With The Force Don't Stop. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough. Keep On With The Force Don't Stop. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough . Touch Me And I Feel On Fire! Ain't Nothin' Like A Love Desire! I'm Melting - I'm Melting! Like Hot Candle Wax Sensation! Lovely Where We're At!" he sang without guilt. I didnt say anything this time as he continued to sing. Mom had left this morning around 2 hours ago to get some supplies at the store. I wondered what was taking her so long but I didnt say anything. I guess I couldnt unless I wanted to say it to the singing idiot in the shower. When he finally got out he came into the livingroom with only a towel on and doing the moon walk.
"Oh god Domino! At least out some clothes on!!" I yelled again.
He shook his head continued to groove down the small hallway into his room, you could faintly hear him still singing. He came out wearing a Hollister white and red polo t-shirt with some white jeans. His cell phone rang whch I still couldnt believe worked out here. He answered it, "Oh hey dad." he said as he continued the conversation walking up and down the hall. I was stunned, him and his dad just didnt get along. His older sister was a total suck-up to him and his older brother just stayed away completely. Domino was with his mom all the way. So when Domino came back I just had to ask, "What was that about?"
He clenched his fists, "He was wondering when I would get back so I could help work. What a caring father. He obviously asked me about how school was and who I was with ya'know?" he added sarcastically and bitterly. Like I said before him and his dad werent on good terms. He relaxed and sat down next to me, 'Where'd your mom go?" he asked.
"She said she'd be at the store but its been 2 hours so im not sure. Maybe she's still at the store." he said.
"Not really." he replied gravely.
"Why is that?" I asked.
"Unless she goes shopping all the time without her wallet and purse." he said pointing over to, you got it, my mom's purse and wallet. How though? She should have noticed it by now and came back, I can see the wallet but her purse too?! Whatever, my mom can do some pretty weird things so it wouldnt help if I freaked.
"Im not sure...maybe she went somehwere else and was then getting supplies or just brought some money with her." I said getting slightly panicked. Would you? Whatever your answer was theres a good chance it was the same as mine.
"Its okay, we'll stay here. Or we can leave a note and try to find her." he suggested. I nodded and tried to relax. Its been me and my mom for years and years...if I lost her i'd have nothing. There was a reason I was freaking. I settled down finally after playing Halo 3 in versus mode against Domino. After another hour of that though I started to get shaky again. Domino suggested his second plan again which I said yes to immediately. We left a note saying we were leaving to take a stroll and try to find her and that wed be back soon. As me and him got into our matching snow 'stuff' my imaginaion started to act up. Maybe she fell and hurt herself? Maybe she left us here? Maybe she got attacked by wolves or a bear? Maybe someone stole her away? Domino slapped me, and hard.
"What was that for?" I asked for once taking my mind off my mother.
"Your acting like an idiot. I know that gleam in your eyes, your imagination is acting up. That wont help us solve anything." he said clearly. It's sad but in situation's like these I become the crazy one and Domino becomes the even and controlled one. I sighed, I didnt want to admit it but I knew I wanst acting how I should. I lookked to the floor and followed him outside. In Alaska it was bright 24/7 but if we were back home it would be dark in about 5 hours before dark. Even if it was light mom should be back home asleep by then. "Our time has come. We're heading staight for the sun. O with heart and soul, watch us go. We're on our way. With a little love we know. Nothing can stop us. So tell everyone. Turn the spotlight on. Now our time has come." he sang quietly. I bit my lip and sang along with him quietly. It had been just our song for years. It always made us think clearer. I wanted to cry but I kept it in and kept walking looking around quickly for my mother. She just had to be around here somewhere...she just hand to...
