Day: 9. July 2009

I sighed to myself wearily, and slid down onto the snow, leaning against a large pine tree.

Oh. My. Gosh.

I had just escaped… Death?

Me..? Ara White? The clumsy fourteen year old, who is failing every subject, but drama? Wow, that’s new.

Rather new.

“Excuse me? Ma’am?” A timid voice interrupted my thoughts. I jumped out of my skin, yelled, threw a rock in the direction of the voice and scrambled around the tree.

“Ow… OWWW” The small voice yelled in pain. I peeked around the tree, and gasped. I just threw a rock at a pixie!

“Ohhhhhhh gosh, I am soooooo sorry!” I examined and rushed over to the crippled pixie. He- or she- was hunched over his stomach, groaning. He held up a hand, and looked up.

“Throw hard much?” He mustered, before collapsing to the snowy ground. I felt my eyes widen, and m jaw drop.

Uh oh.

I killed him.

I fell to my knee’s, and started sobbing. everyone i meet, i kill! I thought, sobbing into my hands over the pixies motionless body.  How could I have done such a thing? His thin, fragile body was ice cold when I laid my hand on his arm. A tear dripped from my cheek onto his lip, and his eyes flickered.

I screamed, and jumped back. “YOUR ALIVE????”

The little man moaned, and sat up. “Yes, you moron, I just fainted!”

I thought I was dreaming, the thought of being happy was nice. I guess I am happy in a very weird way. I smiled at Danni and decided to ask the stupidest question of all. “Boxers or briefs”? I laughed. Danni looked at me and saw he was trying not to laugh then said in a business like voice, “Well, I don’t ask what underwear you wear. So why should I answer that”? “Maybe, because i’m figuring you out for the first time. And i’m asking stupid questions to annoy you, is it working”? I asked laughing. “Boxers, and no it’s not working”, Danni laughed. “Up or down? Blue or red? Big or small? Flat stomach or six pack? Kissable or not”?I asked with a laugh. “Down, Red, Big, Six pack, very kissable. I’ve been kissed several times by different girls”, Danni laughed. “Now, I am irritating myself. Who? Do you know their social security number? Do you know what they are allergic to? You are such a guy. Are you sure they weren’t guys”? I asked. “I’m positive, wait does my Dad count? He used to give kisses on my cheek”, Danni laughed. “You are so fruity”, I said under my breath. “I can hear you, Jenny. And NO I’M NOT”, Danni half yelled. “Sorry, did I hit a nerve”? I said sarcastically. “Ah, Crud. You win! Would you like to irritate me again”? Danni said sarcastically. “Actually, I would. Ah, Dang! My phones ringing”! I said picking up my vibrating cell phone. “Hello”? I answered. “Hey, Jenny. It’s Timothy Grail, remember me? I was wondering want to grab some lunch”? Timmy asked. “Uh, Timmy this isent a good time. I’ll call you back later”, I said. Timothy was my ex-boyfriend and my uncles best friend, and the hottest guy i’ve ever met. “Come on, Jen. I’m sorry about the break up and all i’m back in town. I miss you so much and I am sorry I had to leave you. Please give me another chance”, Timmy asked sweetly. I tried to ignore his soothing voice then I said, “Look, I’m doing something right now. I’ve got to go”. “Pick you up in an hour, bye. No wait, Love you. Now, bye”, Timothy laughed. “Timmy”! I said into the phone. But the line went dead and I closed my phone madly. Danni looked at my face then said, “So you like this Timothy, guy”? “No, Yes, maybe, I don’t know. He’s my ex-boyfriend. And simply irresistable, sweet, nice, cute, funny, so kissable, athletic, and hard to say no to. Oh, and he’s two years older than me. And he’s so amazing ”, I said going into a day dream. “Are you done”? Danni hissed. “Yeah, What? Yes, i’m done”, I said coming out of my dream. “So, what did Timothy want”? Danni asked. I blushed and said, “I’ve got to go. I’ve got to…………..Um, uh, my Mom uh, dear God I wish I had a better excuse! I’ve got to go see my Uncle Terry’s best friend. I need to tell him that my step Sister Bethaniel’s cousin Buddy is sick”. ”Can I come with”? Danni asked. “WHAT”? I yelled. Several people turned and stared at me so I said to Danni, “S-U-R-E”. “You suck at lying”, Danni smiled. “I………….Um, know”, I said running my hands through my hair. TO BE CONTINUED…………………………

  “Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. So, what are you gonna try to tell me the tooth fairy is real too?”

  “No,I’m not. Look, I know to you it will sound ridiculous, but…”

  “You’re darn right it sounds ridiculous! Do I have the word guliable written on my forehead!”

  “Just listen for a second.”

  ” Fine,fine! I’ll listen to your’e dumb lies!”

  ” How do you explain not being able to see?”

  “I just fell out of a dumb tree. I probably damaged my eyes when I hit the ground.”

  ” How do you explain the cast around your arm?”

  ” I dunno. You probably put on me. You don’t have to be an angel to put a cast on someones arm.”

  “Okay then. I’m gonna ask you a simple question.”

  ”Go for it.”

  “Do you believe in God, and that Jesus is the son of god, and that Jesus is the way, the tuth and the life?”

  ” Yeah, I suppose so. I go to church every Sunday.”

  ” Don’t you think that God might send something like this your way? Do you think that just because you are a twelve year old kid god wouldn’t bless you with an adventure like the one your about to have !!? In the bible, it says the children are god’s treasures! Not all the fun is for the adults.”

 ”Fine. You’ve got me there. I’m still not sure if I believe you, but I guess I’ve got no choice, do I?

  “Here. Go in the tent put these “modern day” clothes on. People will think you’re some kind of freak with those jeans.”

  “What is all this stuff?”

  “That ones the inner tunic.  It’s a warm day out, so you don’t need to where it.That ones the tunic coat, and you don’t need to where it either. This is a girdle, and It is almost exactly like a belt. Here is a cloak, and you where it over your’e entire body. Also, heres a pair of sandals and a headress. It’s for protection against the sun.”

            When William was done changing, Zicha headed into the tent and started putting his two blankets into his bag. Then he took down the tent and put it in his bag too.

“Why are you packi-but William was interupted by a sound in the bushes.

 ”What was that!?” askeed William.

  “It’s the idol woshippers! They worship a chrome fish, and are out to kill anyone who does not agree with there false religion! They have been chasing me for a week! Quick, get on my other donkey!”

  “Are you insane? I’m blind! Let alone do I know how to ride a donkey!”

  “Have faith in the lord! He’ll guide the donkey!”

   “(sigh), Fine.”
