(( My NaNoWriMo Book ))
Chapter Three
Going to See the World
Alex and Sarah were walking home from school, tomorrow they would leave for the trip of a life time! “So, Alex, you sure you’re cool with the aunt Mildew thing?” Sarah asked and adjusted her backpack, “Yeah… I’m….Really….Really….FINE!” Alex said and the pencil snapped in her hands. Sarah looked at her with wide eyes, “Well, I sure am happy I’m not a pencil right about now.” They both laughed. Alex and Sarah walked in the door of Alex’s house; they were going to read over the book one last time, then go on the internet to see what fun sights they could see in each country. The two of them had planned the trip and went over it five thousand times; by now they knew exactly where they were going, first they would fly out of Sommerset air port, and land in Barcelona, Spain, after their time there, they would fly down to Morocco, then back up to France, spend some time in Paris, fly back down to Egypt, then take the long flight to China Beijing to be exact, then down to Sydney, Australia, and perhaps a trip to New Guinea, then back home. It was a bit confusing at first, but now they knew it like the back of their hands. Alex and Sarah were on the computer till about nine o’clock until, “Girls bed! We have to catch our flight at five AM.” Alex’s Mom chimed in looking into the office. Sarah was sleeping over, and the girls got in bed excited about tomorrow, “Happy summer, Sarah.” Alex said turning off the light, “Happy summer, Alex.” Sarah responded. After what seemed to the girls, five minutes of sleep, Alex’s mom came in ringing a cow bell, “Girls!! Girls wakey wakey! Pancakes on the table!! It’s three Am!!” Alex and Sarah whined, “No living creature should be that cheery at this time….” Alex said referring to her mother who was already showered, dressed, and made breakfast, “Ok you leave me no choice!!” Her Mother yelled from the kitchen, and two seconds later a tri-colored border collie came in and started licking the girls’ faces. Alex and Sarah began to scream “Sam!!! Get off!!!!” Sam was Alex’s dog, they had almost forgotten about her with all the excitement of the trip. An hour later the family was sitting at the gate, then who else should pop in? Aunt Mildew, Alex and Sarah had almost forgotten about her! Sadly Aunt Mildew hadn’t forgotten about them. Aunt Mildew walked in her usual “I’m better then you” way, accompanied by three airport attendants carrying luggage in their hands AND mouths, “Horrid service here!” Aunt Mildew said while putting a cloth on the seat and sitting neatly down. At the same time, Alex and Sarah both rolled their eyes, and sunk into their chairs with a sigh. An hour later they were all sitting in the seats on the air plane; thankfully Aunt Mildew was a couple isles over with a man who looked like John McCain. “What’s the deal with Mildew? Your Mom and her are so close.” Sarah said buckling up for lift off, “Well, you see my Moms parents died in a fire and my Mom survived, obviously. Anyway Mildew raised my mom after that, so that’s why, unfortunately, they are close.” Alex said with a bit of a sigh, “My dad thinks she’s horrid also, but he won’t admit it” they laughed a bit. The plane took off, Alex and Sarah looked out the window in amazement, as the ground slowly lifted away from them, and little Sommerset, Connecticut, became a small dot in this large world, Alex knew there was no turning back, her dream had come true, she was leaving, not for good, but this was a really good start. That day Alex stayed up, and watched them leave, watched the only world she knew be left behind, as her family slept, Alex looked out at the world, her world, and at that time, she knew she was destined for great things. Several hours later they got to Barcelona, due to the time change it was already morning. The family rode in a rental car, Alex’s father had gotten them a gorgeous condo on the Mediterranean, Alex rolled down the window and the two girls looked out the window to a world they never knew, vendors of every kind lined the streets, the carts of wonderful colors, the smell of salt water mixed with the wonderful foods, a mariachi band could be heard in the distance, wonderful building with of beautiful architecture were all around them finally the car pulled up to a wonderful modern building right next to the beach. As Alex’s father checked in Alex and Sarah ran ahead, they went up a marvelous elevator, playing salsa music, and ran down the hall to their room; her father caught up and opened the door, inside it was even more beautiful, the 31st floor condo had three spacious rooms, a large living room, a kitchen, a balcony, and two bathrooms. Alex and Sarah went outside to the balcony and looked over the edge, and then Mildew came out, “You two get off of there before you plunge to your deaths!” Mildew said and yanked the back on their shirts, pulling them off the railing and then Mildew went back inside. Once she was inside Sarah got back on the railing and acted as if she were going to swan dive off the balcony, Alex grabbed the back of her shirt, “Not yet, Sarah!” she said and pulled her inside. Alex and Sarah ran into their room and looked around, until Mildew walked by and causally said, “I’ve seen better.” Alex and Sarah’s eyes went wide, and at the same time they plopped backwards onto the bed, pulled a pillow over their faces, and screamed into it at the top of their lungs.
