Looking forward to a Twilight Summer....

"It's nothing..." Destiny said quickly, although she pretty much knew that Kiburedo knew it was something. And her acting suspicious wasn't doing anything to help.

 

Trace finally wakes up."ugh,what time is it...."He says and looks at the clock right when it goes off and is surprised,falling off his bed."Why must i wake up when it goes off?..."Trace then gets up and remembers about the vacation."Oh yeah,we're going to Florida today.......Wait a minute,WHAT?!"Trace then rushes to his closet and searches to find good clothes for the trip."Me and my procrastinating ways..."He says to himself,stuffing clothes in his suitcase.

 

"Suspicious!" Kiburedo said as he started to walk around her. "Is it something embarassing? c' mon, let me see!" He tried to maneuver behind her so he could get a good look at whatever it was she was holding.

 

Destiny turned so that he couldn't get behind her. She shook her head. "No..." She said and took a step back from him, nervously.

 

Trace heard Destiny and Kiburedo down the hall,along with last and his techno,"It's always the same..."He said,packing his toothbrush and toothpaste

 

"Oh... I understand..." Kiburedo looked at the ground. "So you don't even trust your big brother anymore...? Have we really grown that much apart...?" He sniffled a little and started to back away. "I see how it is... I have been away for a while I guess.... but still.... that's kinda cruel..."

 

Destiny looked down, feeling the guilt trip. Then she sighed and showed him the stuffed animal. "Here. This is what it was." She said. She'd gotten this doll when she was only about 3 years old, and she knew they'd make fun of her for still having such a childish toy.

 

Kiburedo stared at the doll for a couple of seconds. "A stuffed animal...? That's.... so cute!" He smiled and patted her on the head. "How precious, you haven't changed a bit!" He chuckled and looked down at the doll. "So does it have a name?"

 

After getting ready Trace went to the Kitchen and yelled out,"Does anyone want something to eat?"

 

Destiny hugged the doll close to her chest and looked down. She was annoyed, because it was obvious that he was making fun of her. "Spark..." She said quietly, almost a whisper, but still audible. That was the name she had given the doll when she got it. She'd named it that because of the lightning bolt that was stitched on to one of the stuffed animal's paws.

 

"Spark huh? That's a good name. I was never too good with names... I had to use someone elses name for my cat..." He shifted his vision from the animal and looked up at Destiny, who was staring at the ground. "Sorry... did it sound like I was teasing you? I didn't mean too.... I'm glad you keep something like this around. It'd be depressing as your big brother to know that you've grown up too much while I was gone... But I guess adults can enjoy childish things too. Just look at me, I still collect comics and watch cartoons. It's nothing to be ashamed of.... although, I still wouldn't let Tularim or Sadden know about it." He said with a sincere smile.

 

Destiny looked up at Kiburedo, a bit surprised that he wasn't making fun of her. "Yeah... i guess you're right..." She said. "But if you found out, i'm sure they're eventually gonna find out, too!" She said and hugged the stuffed animal tightly.

 

"Don't worry. Just keep it hidden well. I'm sure they won't find out. Now, let's go downstairs. I think Trace is making breakfast." He said with a smile. Kiburedo stepped to the side and motioned his arms towards the staircase. "After you."

 

Destiny nodded and walked over to her suitcase. She placed the stuffed animal in it under a layer of clothes so that nobody would see it. Then, she got up and ran out of the room, smiling. "Hey, Kiburedo... you said you wanted to play a game, right?" She asked and grinned, looking back at him as she stood waiting for him at the top of the staircase.

 

Kiburedo turned around and looked at her. "Sure. There's nothing like a game before a meal. got something in mind?" He asked.

 

Trace started to take out some eggs,tomatoes,ham,cheese and onions."Anyone want an omlette or am i the only one who does?"

 

"Hmm... I can't really think of anything..." Destiny said, thinking. "I want an omlette, too!" She shouted to Trace and grinned. Then, she turned around and was about to head downstairs, when her foot slipped and she let out a small scream as she fell backwards on to the first step.

 

"We'll be down in a minute!" Kiburedo yelled down to Trace. He kneeled down besides Destiny. "You're so clumsy." He said as he held out his hand to help her up.

 

Destiny grinned. "As if you didn't already know that," She said and giggled. She grabbed on to his outstretched hand and stood up. "Thanks," She said and smiled.

 

Trace started making the omlettes and heard Destiny fall."She is so clumsy sometimes."he said chuckling slightly,chopping up the tomatoes
