Chapter 3: Getting Along

"Cynthia, we are sorry if we lack in giving you attention when you are younger. We just thought that you can handle yourself. I mean, you're pretty intelligent for your age and mature. You excel at everything; you even shock us when you started reciting the periodic table of elements at age 2. We just want to nourish it by what we think is best but we didn't realize how you feel about that until you decided to talk to us. For that we are very sorry." Sasha explained holding both Cindy's hands "You're a really brave and understanding girl, you never really yell back at us. The reason why we keep giving you pressure and telling you what to do is because we want you to learn how to speak up for yourself in front of us. You know we never told you this but you make us proud every single day." Christian said which made Cindy cry tears of joy "Thank you mom, Thank you dad" Cindy said hugging her parents "From now on, we wouldn't be that tough to you. You can do whatever you want; you can do everything we told you, you can't do. It's to become a child" Sasha said then Cindy giggled as her mom wiped her tears away with her thumbs "Actually mom, I don't think that's in me. I mean, yeah I wanted to have stuff toys but not toys. I'm more into books" Cindy admitted "Well then we'll buy you stuff toys and even more books" Christian said "Really?" Cindy asked and her parents nodded their heads "Thank you so much" Cindy said crying then hugged her parents. She then saw Bella standing at the corner hiding behind the cabinet watching them with a bright smile "Thank you" Cindy mouthed to Bella who smiled even more and nodded her head. "Dear, your birthday is coming up. I never once threw you birthday parties like with your friends invited. We're usually busy at work and just eat at the restaurant. Would you like that?" Sasha said then asked "I'm not really fond of big parties but if Bella won't mind sharing it with me then I would love to" Cindy said turning around gesturing to Bella "Bella, Sweetie. Come join us" Sasha said and Bella walked towards them "You mean our birthday is near? You mean I'll get to celebrate my birthday finally?!" Bella asked with a grin slowly forming on her face and tears of joy threatening to fall. "Yes, that is if you wanted to" Cindy said with a happy smile "Of course! It's always been my dream and now it's coming true!" Bella said excitedly as tears started pouring down her eyes. "Want to plan about it tomorrow afternoon at the park. We can get some help in planning with our best friends" Cindy said "Our?" Bella asked "Every best friend of mine is best friends of yours" Cindy said then Bella hugged her "May we join the hug?" Sasha asked and they all laughed and group hugged

Libby asked "Let's wait for the three first then we'll tell you" Cindy said "We're here, so what is it vortex? Why do you have to drag us here at the park than just telling us earlier what this is about at school?" Jimmy said sitting down then asked "ooh you brought food" Carl said "Don't worry, I also brought ultra lord" Sheen said "Nobody asked about your stupid doll sheen" Carl said "It's an action figure!" Sheen yell "Actually we call you here to help us with something. Bella" Cindy said "Yes?" Bella asked "Would you like to do the honor of explaining everything to them" Cindy said with a wide grin. "We're going to have a birthday party and it's my first time to celebrate my birthday so it's going to be amazing!" Bella exclaimed "Really? Mr. and Mrs. Vortex allowed you to throw a birthday Party?" Libby asked "Yes, our parents explained to me everything why they are being tough on me and they said they are sorry and wanted to make it up to me and Bella. I'm not really fond of throwing birthday parties on my, I mean our birthday and Bella haven't gotten any experience so we decided to come ask for your help" Cindy said smiling at the gang who are also smiling at her. "Also to make sure Cindy wouldn't be planning a meeting than Party" Bella said and everyone looked at her "Seriously, She talks like she's working at a company, like she's a boss or something" Bella said which made everyone laugh a little. "She can act immature at times when she's arguing with Jimmy" Libby said "I can tell" Bella said with a giggle. "So what is your favorite color Bella?" Libby asked "Blue" Bella answered "So the theme will be pink and blue" Libby said "Pink and Blue?" Jimmy asked "Cindy's favorite Color is pink" Libby said "I didn't know that, I thought green is her favorite color" Jimmy said "You clearly still need more information about me" Cindy said a little hurt Jimmy didn't know about that single fact. "But you always wear green" Jimmy said "So? Pink is still my favorite color. Like you haven't been in my room" Cindy argued "Yes, but how would I know when you don't talk about it" Jimmy argued "Here they go again" Bella said then whistled which made the two stop "Please stop fighting, we wouldn't get anywhere if you continue" Bella said "Sorry Bella" both Jimmy and Cindy said "You can put stars since Cindy love stars." Jimmy said "How did you know?" Cindy asked "Duh, our bedrooms are facing each other. I can see you looking at the stars through your window every night" Jimmy said "Are you watching me every night?" Cindy asked "Okay, stars are wonderful. Any other suggestion?" Libby said then asked preventing the argument "Hearts" Bella said "Okay hearts, on the list" Libby said writing something down on her checklist "Where did you keep that clipboard?" Bella asked noticing that Cindy came without any bag with her "I have my ways" Libby said winking "You can also add jasmines" Jimmy said "Why?" Cindy asked "Nothing, the smell is just intoxicating " Jimmy reasoned "Okay then Jasmine on the list" Libby said "Cindy can wwe dress up like princesses?" Bell asked "You can if you want to, I'll just wear casual" Cindy said "How about a garden theme?" Bella asked "Perfect" Cindy said "Well, that's all probably. You already know what garden party looks like. How about we go play now" Bella said running towards the slide. She climbed up the stairs leading to the top of the slide "Come on Cindy! This is fun!" Bella said "I'm fine, I'll just watch" Cindy said "Don't be such a kill joy! Come on!" Bella said giggling. "I'm not being a kill joy! It's just we're too old to slide" Cindy yelled "We're 12" Bella said "Turning 13" Cindy said "Seriously, that is still young" Bella said walking to Cindy "Have you ever ride a slide before?" Bella asked "She never does, she says it's for kids when we were 5" Libby answered "Wait really?" Jimmy asked "Really, tell me one time you see her sliding down the slide?" Libby asked "not once" Jimmy said then started pulling Cindy "Hey, What are you doing?! Neutron!" Cindy yelled "It's going to be fun" Jimmy said pulling Cindy on top of the slide. "But-" Jimmy covered her mouth "There's nothing wrong with trying, there's nothing wrong with being ammature as long as you're having fun. Now Sit" Jimmy said and hesitantly Cindy followed. Jimmy then sit behind her wrapping an arm around her waist making her blush a little. "Wait, this is cute. I need to take a picture" Libby said bringing her phone out. "Smile!" Libby said Jimmy did but Cindy didn't "Girl I said smile" Libby said then Cindy did "That is forced" Libby said "Come one Cindy, just one" Jimmy said hugging her tightly which made Cindy smile and looked at the camera "Got it!" Libby said smiling "Let's slide" Jimmy said then pushed him and Cindy down. The two of them started laughing "It's fun isn't it?" Jimmy asked and Cindy just nods her head still laughing. "Want to go slide down again?" Jimmy asked "You bet!" Cindy said then started running up the stairs herself and slide down "Come on guys!" Cindy said having fun. Everyone joined in the fun.
