Chapter 3 - First Night in a new home

I was so relieved, but my heart was pounding like crazy. it was now 10:00 PM and everyone was getting in bed except me, " I know you told me not to shed tears dad but i just miss you" I said taking a deep breath.

Popper started to sing: You Would Not Believe Your Eyes
If Ten Million Fireflies
Light Up The World As I Fell Asleep
Cause They Fill The Open Air
And Leave Teardrops Everywhere
You'd Think I'm Rude
But I Would Just Stand And stare

*looked out the window and watch the fireflies flies around the driveway*

I'd Like To make Myself Believe That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say That I'd Rather Stay Awake When I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems

*laid on the couch*

Cause I'd Get A Thousand Hugs
From Ten Thousand Lightning Bugs
As They Tried To Teach Me How To Dance
A Foxtrot Above My head
A Sockhop Beneath My Bed
A Disco Ball Is Just hanging By A thread

*looked at the sealing*

I'd Like To make Myself Believe That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say That I'd Rather Stay Awake When I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
(When I Fall Asleep)

*got up and went into the kitchen*

Leave My Door Open Just A crack
(Please Take Me Away From Here)
Cause I Feel Like Such An Insomniac
(Please Take Me Away From Here)
Why Do I Tire Of Counting Sheep
(Please Take Me Away From Here)
When I'm far Too Tired To Fall Asleep

*made the lights go to the music*

To Ten Million Fireflies
I'm Weird Cause I Hate Goodbyes
I Got Misty Eyes As They Said Farewell
But I'll Know Where Several Are
If My Dreams Get Real Bizzare
Cause I Saved A Few And I Keep Them In A Jar

*everything in the kitchen went to the beat*

I'd Like To make Myself Believe That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say That I'd Rather Stay Awake When I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
(When I Fall Asleep)
I'd Like To make Myself Believe That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say That I'd Rather Stay Awake When I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
(When I Fall Asleep)
I'd Like To make Myself Believe That Planet earth Turns Slowly
It's Hard To Say I'd Rather Stay Awake When I'm Asleep
Because My Dreams Are Bursting At The Seams

I went under the covers when Lilo came down to check on me. "Popper, were you singing cause that was beautiful?" Lilo said.

"You're just saying that," I said.

"No, I mean it...That was awesome" Lilo said sitting at the edge of the couch.

"You really think so?" I said.

"Oh Yes! say would you like to sleep on the spare bed that Jumba made when we rebuilt the place" Lilo asked.

"that would be great" I said. Lilo and I took all my stuff and made the bed it was a very comfy looking thing for sure and crawled in it and said good night and fell asleep.

The next morning i woke up and boy was i well rested. For the first time since the morning my Parents were killed i flipped out of bed, that's right a crazy front flip out of my new comfy bed.
