Trip to New Jersey
Mel and I were making some waffles, when Doyle came in the kichen. "Good morning Mini man."He said sleppingly. "Morning Doyle!"We both said. "So where's Mom and Dad?"I asked. "They went off finding a cryiptid,they didn't want to wake you guys."He explained. "Well, Mel already did that."I said. Then she gigled. "Hey, why do they call you Mel anyway?"Doyle asked her. "It's short for Carmella."She told him. "Well how about I give you a new one like....Jersey Girl."He said. "Uh, sure"She said.
After we finished breakfast and got dressed, we looked at the old photo album. "Aww, you were so cute as a baby!"She cued. "I bet you were cute as a baby too."I said. "Heck, you still are now."I flirted. "Well, I guesse I get my looks from my from my Mom."She said whil primping her hair. "I thought you said you never met your parents."I pointed out. "Yeah, but I have a picture of them."She said while reaching into her poket.
"Wow, you look just like your Mom."I told her. "Yeah, people say I got my mother'd looks and bad temper, and my father's sence of adventure, and love of Greek Mythology."She told me. "Hey, is dis a pic of your whole family?"She asked me. "Yeah."I told her. Suddently, she looked sadder. "Whats wrong?"I asked her. "Have ya eva felt like, you have no where else to go?"She asked. "What do you mean?"I wondered. "Zak, I'm 13 years old. I'm a teenager and I still haven't been adoped."She said. "People only want little kids and loud-mouthed teenagers like me."She said."What if I never have a family?"She said."Don't worry, Mel. I'll be your family."I told her. "Yeah, we are a family."She said.
After we both said "Good night"To each other and went to bed, Rani Nagi came for a visit. She broke through the security systems, and past the camras. Then she came into my room through the window. She spoted Mel, and had a few tricks up her sleeve. "Child, sleep, count some sheep. And have eternal dreams, for eight hours, and may your dreams be sweet."She recited. It was a sleep spell so Mel wouldn't squel on her. Then she came to my bed. "Huuh, wh-what."I said sleeply. "HUH, Rani Na-" I started, but Rani Nagi hit me on the head with her tail. Then she took me with her. The next morning though...."NO!!!" Yelled Mel. "Mel honey whats..."Mom tried to aksed but then saw that I wasn't in my bed. "NO!!"Mom yelled. "This is all my fault!"Mel said. "Why didn't I wake up?"She asked herself. "Doc!Zaks gone!"She yelled. ", look, a scale."Mel said. "RANI NAGI!!!"She relized. "My dream, she said that if she can't take her revenge on me, then she would take it out on the next best thing. ZAK!"She told them. "Come on!We have to get to Rani Nagi's lair."Dad said. Mel stayed in the room for a while. "Zak,"She started, "Please be okay."
