The next morning I got up, got dressed, got Kayla up, told her to get dressed and we snuck into Tony's room.

"Hey, Tony." I hissed.

His head shot up and he looked at us.

"Rudolph!" he whispered excitedly.

"Yeah, good morning to you too." Kayla said sarcastically.

Just as Tony was about to open the trunk, Kayla gasped.

"Tony! The curtains!"

We all turned and looked at the window, which was letting sunshine light up the room.

"What about them?" Tony asked after a minute.

"The sun?" Kayla prompted.

"Oh, right." Tony said catching on at last.

"Thank you, Kayla." Rudolph's muffled voice came from the closed trunk.

"Anytime."

After Tony had closed the curtains and opened the trunk, Rudolph sat up and looked at us in silence.

"So, did you sleep well, Rudolph?" I asked in an uncharacteristically polite voice.

"Yes, I did thanks. And you?" He replied in an equally polite voice.

I looked at Kayla, smiled, pointed at Rudolph and mouthed the words 'this kid' before replying.

"Yeah… uh, Rudolph, just so you know, you know, for future reference, I'm not the most polite person in the world-"

"She really isn't." Kayla cut in.

"Thank you Kayla. As I was saying, I think you're a great kid and all, but I absolutely cannot be overly polite all the time."

Rudolph nodded with a smile on his face.

"You remind me of my brother, you know." He said suddenly.

"Oh, uh, thanks?" I said uncertainly.

Just then mom called us down for breakfast. We said goodbye to Rudolph and closed the trunk. Tony got dressed and then we pounded down the stairs and got breakfast to take in the car because we were already late for school.

That day was almost as crappy as the first. The girls followed me around and wouldn't shut up all day. If only that day had been Friday.

When we got in the car Mom looked really mad.

"Anthony James Thompson, why did you do that today?" she asked in an eerily calm voice.

"Do what, exactly?" I asked.

"He got in a fight with the McAshton twins." Mom replied, still staring at Tony.

"Really?" Kayla asked.

Mom nodded. "Really"

I smiled. "That's my little bro! I can't believe this! Did he win?" I asked, still grinning like a fool.

"Alyssa! Don't encourage this behavior!"

"Sorry." I said, while trying to stop grinning.

By the time we got home, it was already dark outside. We ran up to Tony's room after dinner and he opened the trunk to find it empty. Tony's face fell.

"He's gone. He didn't even say goodbye."

"It's okay, little man, I'm sure his family was worried about him." I said reassuringly.

"Do you think he'll be back?" Tony asked hopefully.

Kayla and I looked at each other. Neither of us could be sure.

"I hope so." Kayla said at the same time I said "Maybe."

I looked at her and she shrugged.

"Okay." Tony said in a disappointed voice.

He walked over to his desk and pulled out a drawing.

I walked up and stood behind his chair.

"What's that? It looks really familiar."

Kayla stood next to me.

"It's the amulet! From the dream!"

Tony nodded.

"I thought it looked important, so I drew it. It's not that good but-"

"Are you kidding? It's great!" I said, surprising myself a little because I do not give compliments frequently.

Tony smiled. "Thanks, Lyss."

After we were all in bed, something flew through my window. I quickly sat up and saw Rudolph looking around in confusion.

"Rudolph?"

"Oh, hello Alyssa. I'm sorry; I thought this was Tony's room."

I narrowed my eyes. "About him. You do realize that you're his only friend, right? Do you have any idea how upset he was when you left?"

Rudolph looked down. "I am sorry about leaving on such short notice. I did not mean any harm by it."

He looked so small and sad that I actually felt sorry for him.

"Come on, I'll take you to Tony's room."

Rudolph looked up. "Thank you."

We walked quietly from my room to Tony's.

"Tony." I hissed, opening the door. "Someone's here to see you!"

He sat up in bed and looked at me.

"Rudolph! Are you here to take us flying again?"

"No, it's too dangerous. I only came back for this." He pointed at Tony's drawing of the amulet.

"My drawing? You can have it." Tony said carelessly.

"Where have you seen it?" Rudolph asked.

"Why do you want to know?" Tony asked.

"It's important." Rudolph answered.

"I'll only tell you if you talk us flying again!" Tony announced triumphantly.

"That's my little brother!" I said proudly.

"It is very important." Rudolph said again.

"Flying." Tony said stubbornly.

Rudolph looked at me pleadingly.

"Don't look at me! Once he knows what he wants, no one can make him let go of it."

Rudolph sighed. "Fine. I'll take you flying."

"Yeah!" Tony cheered quietly. "Oh, and Alyssa, too."

"What? No, I couldn't possibly- fine."

"And Kayla, too."

Rudolph softened. "Alright."

"Success!" Tony said, and went to get Kayla.

I looked at Rudolph. "You know what I think?"

"What?"

"I think you like my sister."

"Of course I do. She is a good person."

"Oh, you don't get it. I think you- that you- ugh, never mind forget I said anything." I walked to the door. "I'll be right back."

I went to my room, grabbed a jacket, put on some shoes and grabbed my iPod incase I got bored. Then I returned to Tony's room, where everybody was waiting.

"Let's roll" I said, zipping up my jacket.

"Let's roll what?" Rudolph asked, confused.

I rolled my eyes. "Never mind let's go."
