I don't have much else to say right now but…..wish me luck on my Spanish test tomorrow!

Percy

Everything went black.

As we were in the middle of watching a movie that Bella had picked out, the lights flickered and everything shut off. Bella was asleep by this time. She must have been tired. But anyway, I sort of started to panic but then calmed down.

"Percy?" Rachel said.

"Yeah? I'm here. And Bella." I replied.

"What-is-going on?" She asked. I had no idea.

"I don't know." I said. I reached into my bag and pulled out my computer. I turned it on, the light-geez. So bright. I was squinting my eyes. Well, I went to the news website. It said that there was lots of rain starting and much wind that a tree branch fell on a cable wire and it broke. Most of the town's power had shut off. Damn it.

"Gah…ugh!" I whined.

"What is it?" Rachel asked.

"Some branch fell from storm, fell and broke cable wire. I don't know how long we'll be like this." I announced.

She sensed she got up. She comes back with flashlights. I turn mine on. So does she. Rachel also lit many candles. I heard a whimper. Bella is awake.

"What-hello? Where am I what's going on? Dad, Rachel?" She asked with panic.

"We're here Bella. Don't worry. Flashlights are on and candles are lit up so there is light." Rachel told her. Bella blinked and opened her eyes fully.

"Why?" She asked. Thunder crashed and from the window, we could see the lightning flash. The rain was pouring like hell.

"Um, the storm, a tree branch fell on a cable wire and all power shut down." I said.

"Oh. I'm tired." She reached for her cocoa and took a sip. Then she put her feet on the couch and curled up in a ball. I saw her shiver a little. I grabbed the nearest blanket and put it around her. Then I saw she had fallen asleep again. So, I carried her to an extra empty room with a bed. I laid her down on the bed and rested her head on a red pillow. I covered her with the blanket, looked down at her and smiled. I left a lit candle on the nightstand so when she wakes up she can see. Then I left the room.

Next morning….

I woke up on the couch and realized the power was back on. The candles were unlit-of course, the flashlights were turned off. So I walk into the kitchen to find Bella and Rachel eating breakfast. Bacon, pancakes, scrambled eggs, and orange juice. Yum….I yawned at sat down at the table. Rachel put a plate in front of me. On it was 3 pieces of bacon, a scoop of eggs, and 3 pancakes. Also a glass of the juice. I took a bite of the pancakes and made a heavenly expression face. Rachel smiled and Bella laughed.

"You look funny when you wake up." Bella told me. I laughed.

"You look cute with your messy hair and beautiful face!" Rachel kissed my cheek. I made a side smile.

We all ate breakfast together that morning. Rachel turned her phone on for a second to check the time.

"Hey, it's almost 8, I have to go. Sorry." Rachel told us. I frowned at her.

"Ok then. Well, I'll see you later?" I asked her.

"Of course Perce!" She said. She grabbed her purse and waved us goodbye then headed out the door.

"So. It's Saturday, I have work off weekends. So I guess it's just me and you today kiddo." She smiled at me. I got up and left the room to get ready. I took a 10 minute shower then, dried my hair and combed it. I came back out wearing a blue t-shirt with some jean pants and white socks. I noticed Bella had gotten ready also. She was wearing a long sleeved yellow t-shirt with flowers on it and jean pants with pink socks.

"So, um what are we going to do?" She asked.

"Well, your choice. We can explore New York and go into shops and go out to eat and maybe Rachel can eat with us if you'd like." I suggested. The was quiet for a moment.

"Okay!" She agreed. So we put on our shoes and I grabbed my jacket, she grabbed hers. I locked the door behind us.

We walked into many shops and bought a few things. It was 12:00 pm.

"I'm hungry." Bella told me.

"Alright. You want to find a pizza place?" I suggested.

"I love pizza!" Bella said with excitement. So I walked with her to a pizza parlor and got us a cheese pizza and 2 chocolate shakes. With French fries. As we were eating, Bella stared ahead of me and gasped.

"What is it?" I asked her. She started tearing up. "Bella?" I asked her again. She got up and ran to a table where a 2 woman sat. One with long curly blonde hair and the other with short black hair. The blonde stood up.

"Mom!" Bella shouted.
