Tragic Magic
Chapter 2: The Ride
Lj finished getting dressed and ready for the long day that was coming his way. Before he left his room he looked at his the photo of him and dead cousin Mizbiz, that was sitting on his night stand. Lj was sitting on the ground looking up at Mizbiz, and Mizbiz had one arm on his shoulder and the other holding up a peace sign, and winking at the camera. Lj kind of chuckled at the time they had that day, a few weeks before the tragic accident.
"Without you around, I'm completely lost in life." Lj said to himself picking up the photo. You see, when Mizbiz was around, she was always there for Lj, the good and bad times. When ever Lj was mad, upset, or even when he depressed. But without her around, he can't see the light of anything. She was his guide, and she taught him almost everything to know about anything.
"LJ, HURRY UP, WE'RE LATE AS IT IS." Lj's younger sister Glade, shouted through the door.
"Ok ok." Lj shouted back. He put the photo back on the nightstand, grabbed his leather jacket, and stormed out of his room. He walked down the long flight of stairs, and out the door of the house. He caught up with his family at the trolley station.
"Good, your here Lj." Lj's mother, Iris said. The trolley came with the ring of its bell. The door made the whishing sound as they slid opened. The driver turned towards and with a happy smile, he asked; "Where to?".
"To the city, please." Lj's father, Len said. Iris got on the bus, and slipped a couples of bus tokens in the small compartment and continued on the trolley. With Len, Lj, Glade and Jiddy following.
"So what do you think the City fair is going to be like." Jiddy asked with glee.
"Well, if anything, maybe like the last year. But maybe something extra exciting might happen." Iris said hugging Jiddy.
"Like what?" Jiddy asked her mother.
"What ever you want it to be." Iris said tickling Jiddy. While Jiddy and her mother were giggling and having their own fun in one seat, Lj and his father, Len, sat in another. But Lj was a million miles away.
"Anything wrong Lj?" Len asked.
"Nothing really." Lj lied.
"C'mon, of all things, I would if you need a talk." Len said.
"Well, it just that I'm have been having these weird dreams lately, and their mostly about Mizbiz, and those dreams are making me think more about her being gone. And the more I think about her, the more empty and depressed I feel." Lj said.
"Don't worry Lj, Mizbiz may not be here. But you still have those loving memories of the good times you had. Remember when you were 6, remember that one Christmas where you wrapped yourself in wrapping paper, as a present for Mizbiz." Len said.
"Hehe, ya I remember." Lj said, with a small grin on his face.
"And you know, Ruby and Skull boy's family is going to be at the city fair too. And if they're there, then you know that Friezet is there too." Len said with grin.
"Friezet's gonna be there." Lj said with his mood lightened.
"I see your happy that I brought that up, and why would that be?" Len said with a devious smile. Lj felt his face heat up a bit. Out of embarrassment, Lj turned toward the window.
"N-nothing, nothing at all." Lj hesitated.
"Hehehe, oh ok. But let me know if you need any advice ok, Lj." Len said, holding back his chuckles. Lj felt his face get even warmer, he kept his eyes out the window, hoping to avoid contact with anyone.
"So Lj, you gotta a thing for Friezet dontcha'." Glade said standing on her knees, in the seat in front of Lj and Len.
"What... Tha-that's ridiculous. I-I don't." Lj hesitated, feeling his face getting hotter.
"Suurrrre. Let me know how it turns out." Glade said with a devious grin, sitting back down in her seat. Lj pulled his hoodie over his head and slouched in his seat. A small grin crept over his face, it made him feel happy thinking about Friezet being at the fair. As his blush on his face was dieing down, he felt himself get even more exciting as the trolley grew closer and closer to the city.
